The noble, glaring at the kid, immediately recognizes the rat that got into Ravenport, Loki. Even more angry now that Loki showed up begins to speak, "Hey! It's YOU. The fact that a rat like you is in the pristine city walls of Ravenport, I'll just have to teach you a lesson for getting in someone's way."
Loki wide-eyed as if looking like he is scared but was internally thinking 'I think I forgot my badge to leave the city, I've got to go back and get it'
"HAH, your scared look is priceless! Now, beg for your life or I'll slice you down." He said as he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Loki.
Loki looks at the sword near his neck, released from his thoughts. Loki looks up stunned and confused and asks "Who are you?"
The noble was stunned even more, but the fury in his stomach that some incompetent child could forget a high standing noble as himself took the forefront. He began to yell, "A mere child like you thinks you're so good, being acquainted with Ignatius. Without him around, there's nothing I, Martin Leads, a tier 3 Marquess, can't do to you now."
As if a lightbulb appeared on top of Loki he exclaims, "Oh! You're the egotistical dude from before. Don't point that sword at me, you look like you can't even use it."
A vein pops out of Martin's forehead and with an enraged scream, he raises his sword to teach Loki a lesson. However, when the sword reaches its apex, a commanding shout comes from within the crowd.
"STOPPPP" is heard as the crowd clears a path for a large 7 foot tall man slowly walking towards the duo.
Loki and Martin look over to see the man walking towards them. Martin is the first to react with wide eyes, trembling in the hand holding the sword, while muttering, "W-w-what do you want?"
Loki looks at the man then back to Martin wondering who this man is. Then the man points to the boy while saying, "He's with me, let him go Mr. Leads.''
"This kid is with you, too? Who is this boy?" exclaims Martin before sheathing his sword and walking away, mumbling something about being unable to teach Loki a lesson.
Loki stands up confused at the whole situation and the man who seemingly saved his life with only his presence. Before he can even say thank you to the man, he turns his back, walking away while speaking, "Let's go back to the Guild. I want to discuss a few things with you."
Walking back into the Adventurer's Guild, Loki feels a bunch of stares on him. Evidently, they don't seem to be staring at him, but the Guild Master.
'He must be a well respected man to gain such attention just from walking into the building' Loki thought to himself as they walked past the counter into a large conference room in the back.
The Guild Master points to a seat on the side, close to the front and says, "Sit here; I was intrigued by a few things I overheard you talking about."
------------------------------------------------
In the center of the forest, there's a man in a robe with scaly hands holding an orb with a muddy color swirling around it. Standing in front of the Lord of the Forest, who has remained hidden from humanity for 1000 years, holds the orb in front of it and starts to chant magic in a dark voice.
Feeling danger from the chant, the Forest Lord tries to rush the dark mage. However, the dark mage has a powerful artifact that released a huge prismatic shield that rebounded all of the attacks sent on it.
Within a few minutes, the chant was completed and the Forest Lord's eyes glazed over as if under the effects of mind control. In a gritty voice, the dark mage cackles, "Keke, with the Forest Lord's power I can control all of the monsters in this forest. Let's see how the city takes on 10,000 monsters."
The dark mage begins to gather a few monsters to see his army. Boars, Bears, and Wolves alongside some Alphas came running, surrounding the Lord and the mage in subservience. There are all kinds of levels mixed in between level 1 and all the way to level 75, The Lord of the Forest being even stronger than them.
[Lord of The Forest]
Level: 125
Attack: 1,000
Defense: 250
Health Points: 150,000
Taking a look at the army that can bring devastation to many towns and hopefully a city, the dark mage begins to chant even further to prepare a wave of destruction.
------------------------------------------
"What do you want to talk about?" Loki asks the Guild Master, unsure of why a man of his importance became intrigued by him.
The Guild Master decides to start slow and introduce himself, "First, I am Chris Alcazar, the guild master of Ravenport's Adventurer's Guild, one of the three tier 3 beings in the city. I will admit, you seemed like nothing in my eyes until I used a skill only a select few people know called 'inspect'. You seem like an anomaly, so I wanted to talk."
{Inspect} (Active Skill) - Being to see the stat panel of any beings (Can only see the full panel of anyone you're higher leveled than, otherwise see their level and HP only)
"I guess you already know my name, but I'm Loki Green, adventurous and always wanting to learn more about the world and getting stronger, especially my Nature affinity." Loki responds with his own introduction.
The Guild Master responds, "Learning Nature magic is a hard road, takes a lot of effort and you need to be stronger. Let's say level 10 and then I'll teach you about Nature magic?"
Loki's eyes light up and asks in excitement, "Really? I want to learn about it; I'll get to level 10 in no time! Thank you!"
Nodding his head at the boy's enthusiasm, he continues with a serious expression, "While I know about the weird question marks in your stat panel, I don't have any answers, or know whether they are dangerous or not. Do not tell anyone about them, it could lead to a lot of dangerous people wanting to exploit your strength."
Loki also turns serious and nods, "I understand that point, I haven't told anyone, not even Ignatius knows."
"Ignatius? Ah, learning blacksmithing, that makes sense you know him. Either way, good, now you can go off and do some quests or return to Ignatius to make more equipment." the Guild Master said in understanding.
