Arthur packed whatever food he can gather and is ready to began his new journey.
Arthur just followed a random route and after walking for some distance, he saw a group of merchants carrying goods, he followed them and reached a small town named 'Archin'. In this town he observed some humans, some dwarfs, some draganoids, and many more species.
Suddenly a person called him from back -
"Ayyyy"
He came closer to Arthur and asked, "Are you new to the town?"
"Ou, Where are my manners? Myself Luther, it is my first time to visit a town. I was born in a small village and always wished to go to town. Finally the day has came and now what about yourself?"
By seeing his enthusiasm Arthur fell into deep thinking, At first, he thought how can he understand his language? Secondly, why he(Luther) approached him? And lastly isn't he trying to scam him?
Even with all his doubts he answers Luther, "Hi! I am Arthur Ischyros, nice to meet you" and again fell in deep thinking that can he(Luther) understand his words.
Luther replied, "Are you an adventurer?"
Arthur said, "I am."
Luther asked, "Have you ever gone to a dungeon, if you have any dungeon artifacts then please sell it to me. I am new to this so your guidance will be great help for me."
Arthur replied, "Sorry , I am also new to this, if I ever visit dungeon I will give all my artifacts only to you if you guide me how the things will work in dungeon as well as in this town"
During this some group of people who are entering into the town watches both of them talking and approaches them. From back someone from group puts his hand on head of Luther and asks, "Are you new to the town?"
He has great physique than both of them and may be that physique had boosted his confidence.
Luther replied to that person's question as-
"Yes sir, we are completely new to this environment. If you guide us it would be a great help."
Listening this the person smirks and orders him, "First give 5 silver coins each for the entry into the great Archin town and for guidance you have to give 50 silver coins each."
Luther politely replied, "Sorry sir, we listened that Archin is free town and there is no toll tax collected here since it is near to a dungeon. Every adventurer can freely live hear and every merchant can freely trade here without any tax. And for the guidance we both can't afford it sir"
"However thank you for your kind help sir."
Listening this the person replied, "I am not providing you any service. I am ordering you if you don't give 55 silver coins each we will kill you here. There is no law here because it is free town you know" and laughs, "Ha Ha Ha Ahh"
"I am quite generous cause I am talking to both of you. If it was my friends they first have harmed you by cutting your body with their beautiful knifes and then have ordered you. So before they make any disturbance just give your money quickly."
Both Arthur and Luther watches eachother faces where Luther is scared from them but Arthur is thinking that how can he kill him. Now what will they do?
