The group of Arubus and Gorr continued their journey. Lucas gave the Crocosart they had killed yesterday to Arubus, the Mechant gladly accepted it in return.
In the middle of the journey, Gorr had some questions for Arubus, when conditions allowed Gorr to ask Arubus
"Hey Arubus, I heard from Julia that this kingdom is in a period of enlightenment. I understand about kingdoms and the human leadership system, but I don't know how many kingdoms are here and why are they at war?"
"Who told you about that system?"
"Someone from the Forbidden Forrest."
"(It must be Barsmith), well I'll explain about the kingdoms on this continent"
Barsmith explains about the kingdoms on the Rockandell continent
The Rockandell continent consists of four major kingdoms and several smaller kingdoms within it. The four major kingdoms include the Kingdom of Amarta, the Kingdom of Gashamor, the Kingdom of Khairz and the Kingdom of Artahsar.
The kingdom they currently live in is the kingdom of Amarta which is led by King Erth.
Hearing a brief explanation from Arubus Gorr asked again
"Then why are you fighting? Aren't you all human?"
Before Arubus could answer, Lucas stepped in and answered Gorr's question.
"They want to rule the entire continent"
"Who?"
"The Kingdom of Gashamor."
Hearing this information Gorr began to understand the ugly nature of humans. Greed and doing everything to gain and or increase power. In the middle of Gorr's reverie Arubus said
"For that you should not trust them too easily, they are very cunning"
Gorr nodded and they continued their journey.

With a wounded condition, the Dark Owls who attacked Gorr have now arrived at his headquarters. It seems that the leader of the Dark Owl organization wants to hear their report.
The door opened, someone was already there sitting and looking at them sharply. That gaze frightened them, as if just by looking at him he could take their lives.
After entering the room, the three of them knelt down and gave a report
"I apologize sir, we were unable to carry out the mission properly. There was an unexpected factor that suddenly appeared."
"..."
"Someone came to their aid, his strength is truly remarkable for a rookie"
"JDAAARRR"
As the door suddenly closed with a bang, they were shocked. What made them shocked and scared was that their leader was now behind them.
"So you lost to a rookie?"
The air there was very unpleasant for them, the killing aura emitted by the leader was too great.
"Sorry my lord, he is Lucas Franzta"
"Lucas Franzta?"
"yes sir."
The leader again disappeared from their sight, and miraculously he was already in his seat.
"Then I must give you guys credit for making it back alive."
The three of them looked relieved by the leader's decision, then he issued an order to call one of his elite troops to hunt down Gorr.
"Lucas Franzta is not your opponent, he uses the same technique as that guy. Wait until Lucas and the orc split up, we can't let the orc go".
----
Gorr and the Arubus party had reached their destination, the small town of Sarta. They made it through the security check, though to their astonishment the guards allowed Gorr to enter.
As they walked through the town of Sarta, cynical and astonished stares watched them. It was natural for an Orc to walk quietly through the town, but they couldn't do much because Arubus was by their side.
Arriving in front of a shop Arubus invited them to enter
"Come here, this belongs to an acquaintance of mine."
They both entered the shop, a bell rang when they opened the door. Someone from inside the shop turned around and greeted them
"Oh Aru, there you are"
An adult woman came up to Arubus and his entourage, she saw what the barsmith was offering her.
While Barsmith and the woman chatted Gorr and Lucas looked around, soon the woman invited Arubus to follow her into a room.
"You guys just look around, I have a little business here"
Gorr and Lucas began to look at the items available in the shop, there were healing potions mana potions and various other potions. Gorr repeatedly almost dropped items there which made Lucas tell him to sit down and be quiet.
While they were waiting for Arubus to come out a girl entered the shop and went into a room. She walked quickly past the two men.
"Why that girl? Is she afraid of orcs?"
"Maybe, your face is ugly anyway"
"Damn you."
On the other hand, the girl was very embarrassed to see Lucas there, it turned out that before leaving for Ursu village Lucas had saved the girl from criminals in the city.
A buyer entered the shop, he looked like a mage.
"Excuse me, I want to buy some mana potions and healing potions"
"Okay, wait a moment."
The girl could be heard replying to the mage's call and preparing to serve him. When she finished buying and turned around how surprised the mage was to see Lucas and Gorr
"WOAAAAA, Lucas Franzta one of the Elemental Swordsman users and..."
When he saw Gorr he looked trembling with fear, seeing this Gorr teased him by bringing his body closer to the mage.
"BOO!!!"
The mage was scared and ran to the shopkeeper girl, he hugged her and said
"HUWAAAAAHH!!!! Alexandra help me there's an Orc here"
"C-calm down Alysa, he's with mister lucas. He's probably his partner"
Hearing their words Lucas felt like making a strange face, which annoyed Gorr. In the midst of the commotion Arubus came out of the meeting, he looked confused and serious
"Lucas, Gorr I got information that requires me to leave. Your job is done, this is for you"
Arubus gave some gold coins to Gorr and a bag of gold coin to Lucas.
"Hey what's this thing?"
"Lucas will explain it to you, you just follow him. Lucas I entrust this creature to you."
"I hope I get paid for it"
Arubus just smiled and left them. The sound of his carriage slowly faded from their hearing
"So what are we going to do with this thing?"
"Take a good look"
Lucas demonstrated how to buy using gold coins, Gorr watched Lucas closely. Lucas bought some healing potions that had a total price of 2 gold pieces.
"Oh so you bought the liquid with this thing?"
"Not only that, you need gold coins to buy food, rent a bed and more"
"Not just gold coins"
Alexandra interrupted their conversation,
"There are Silver, Bronze and Platinum coins"
The order of the coin tiers are::
5 Bronze coins = 1 Silver coin
3 Silver coins = 1 Gold coin
2 Gold coins = 1 Platinum coin
Gorr began to understand how buying and selling works in human life. Then Lucas and Gorr said goodbye to leave the shop.
The two of them walked back to the village, where suddenly an arrow was aimed at Gorr's body. An arrow pierced his body, but Gorr didn't look hurt or bothered.
"Doesn't it hurt to have an arrow stuck in your back?"
"Oh yeah? "
Gorr pulled the arrow out of his back
"This attack didn't use mana, so I didn't feel anything"
They walked to the Tavern in the town, it was quiet inside because many people were out hunting or working during the day. There Lucas ordered a drink and a serving of food.
Seeing an orc in the place the tavern keeper looked happy
"Well well well it's been a while since I've seen an Orc in my tavern, so what can I do for you?"
"Hmmm maybe I'll order the same thing that guy ordered"
"No way, that portion won't be enough for you, I'll offer you an Orc portion for the price of one gold piece"
"Okay."
After ordering Gorr to sit at the same table as Lucas, Lucas started reading a sheet he had picked up from one of the corners of the tavern.
"What are you reading lucas?"
"This is a collection of quests, some people don't have the ability to fight so they will order on this sheet. "
Gorr walked to one of the walls in the tavern where there were many wanted posters. Gorr asked Lucas
"Why are there so many wanted posters posted here?"
"It's because some people want to earn more money by hunting them. The people who hunt fugitive humans are called bounty hunters."
"Bounty Hunter huh?"
"You have a long way to go to become a Bounty Hunter, don't think you're going to hunt them down."
Not long after Lucas' order came, Lucas ate his food with gusto. Gorr started the conversation again
"Hey lucas, are you sure you're going to take me this time?"
"Of course, that little bastard paid me for it"
Gorr stayed silent for a moment because he felt that he would only make things difficult for Lucas. Seeing Gorr's increasingly irritated face as he looked sad Lucas asked
"By the Way, how about your revenge?"
Gorr told Lucas about the village of Arcxtala and the masked man with enthusiasm, hearing Gorr talk about the power concerned with dark forces Lucas said to Gorr.
"It seems we have the same goal, so let's go together."
Gorr was very happy with Lucas's words.
Time passed but Gorr's order didn't come, in the middle of Gorr getting annoyed the Tavern keeper appeared with a barrel of Beer and 5 normal portion of food. He loudly said
"THE ORDER IN ORC PORTION IS READYYYYY!!!!"
A surprised Lucas considered retracting his words about going with Gorr.
