Chereads / The Number Five / Chapter 96 - Volume Ninety Six

Chapter 96 - Volume Ninety Six

I already done said my goodbyes to my party. Started walking past the guards, after exiting Nord. A carriage soon followed after me. " I didn't want this?!", an middle age man with at least four others inside of the carriage. They came out of the carriage, the four were members of the Guild. " Jim sir!, we would love to join you on this Quest!". The four were a perfect party well to my standards at least, one Dwarf, Mage, Assassin, Archer. I wanted to tell them no so badly cause I have to hide the truth about my family. If news got out that my family was missed bred, especially if they were demons. Then they would kill them in the spot. If I do join them then I would have a transportation at my aid, also it would cut down the time to get to my home. The problem with have a carriage like this one is that it's any easy target for Bandits. Well I could use the company while on this long journey, I would love to get to know more about Nord. " Fine y'all can Join". I entered the carriage, the carriage slowly went forward. The journey is going to take us a long time, it's at least five months to get there even when taking the shortcut. While riding in the back of the carriage with the party, I can tell that they were very on edge. " Y'all can relax I won't hurt you. Also I need to ask y'all a couple of questions.". The party leaned in to listen to my question. We were maybe fifteen minutes out from Nord, " Tell my why I'm famous in Nord?!, what happened to Nord?!. Why is Nord allowing mixed breeding in their Kingdom!?!!". The party looked ate each other confused on the questions I just asked them. The dwarf answered my first question with hesitation, " Sir. You were the only one who showed us loved during our falling out, I remember when the kids were starving. You spent all of your money to buy foods for the starving, you also healed the injured. You are like a God to the People of Nord, hell we even have a statue of you sir. You shared the Gospel to the people as well, most of them didn't receive the belief of God. We all love you!". They made a statue of me, they better not be worshipping that statue. I'm not Worthy of being worshiped. The Mage spoke after the Dwarf explained what the people of Nord love me so much. "Jim, after you left we were still in poverty. Then the king decided to make a game show for all of the people. Whoever participated in the game got paid very well, also you were allowed to make bets on the game. The game was made for us to flourish. Which it did, you could make bets on the game. Like how long would each person laugh for. Or how long would it take for the person to give up on the challenge?!, it took Nord two weeks to become rich. Once the game started to make enormous amounts of money. Our leaders started making serval changes. He started making more housing, made more water ways.". How come a simple game show make a Kingdom become empowered?!. That game must have been going on for years, I wonder how many people partake in the game. Both the Archer and the assassin spoke at the same time, " Jim Mix breeding was never banned in Nord. It's been allowed ever since you first came here, the reason why you didn't see it cause we couldn't hosued them. You know shortly after the events leading after Adamsin, people needed a place to live. So our king decided to take in several refugees, everyone here is married to a different species. Brod is married to an human, Eten is married to Human. Well for me I married a Dwarf, and for him unfortunately he is still single.". I can't believe this. There is a place in the world where they accept mixed breeding, maybe there is a place where I don't have to worry about my family's lives. This could be the safest place for my family for the meantime. After seeing trees pass by the mage finally broke the silence. " Jim, can you tell us about the Crusade. I mean it's so cool that your still apart of them, how are they anyways?!. Also what got you into to live your life for God?, if you don't mind telling us about yourself.". They must really want to know about me huh. I don't know what to tell them though, I could start from the very beginning. It might bore them though. " Let's see when I was growing up. I lived in a church with others just like me, I had brothers and sisters. Well technically not my blood sisters or brother, they were the best family I had for the moment. I lived with them until the age of eight, demons ambushed the church. Killing all of the believers that I lived with. I coward away in fear holding onto a Bible that Bishop Mark gave me, or was it Father. It's been so long I can't remember really. I passed out due to the amount of smoke I had inhaled l. A man rescued me after all the smoke was cleared away, that man was Adamsin. I owned that man so much. He taught me so much in life, he never made fun of my religion. He told me that's it's good for me to believe in something. His party taught me so much, even though the world was taught to hate him. I could never hate the man who saved me, shortly after his death. The ones was raised me after my people were slaughtered. They were being hunted for being in the same party as Adamsin, I saw the people who raised me die in front of me.".
