Claude wasn't sad as he was before grandma marry sure have her way with words.
I know that she's just trying to lift up my mood, no-one knows if Crifhimoze was real or not as far as anyone remember this continent always known as Crifhimoze.
This world has only season Winter, since the beginning of life this planet didn't had any season besides winter, its everlasting ice age.
Even though this winter never ends people here still wear casual cloths not the sweater, they sure have strong resistance to cold compared to people from earth but the main reason is the fabric their clothes are made of is really warm, its thin and warm but as they moved to this forest they don't have much supplies of wool to make new clothes.
That's why whenever someone clothes have hole in it they send it to tailor to fix it, some clothes are good but most of them are just rags.
Settlement have 240 people population they originally had 95 but after coming across other villagers and survivors population grown to what it is now.
That's why we have crisis of food can't feed every mouth when we don't have enough food with currently we have for atleast one and half month ration after that we have to eat cows and sheep but no-one wants to eat cows and sheep as cow gives milk and sheep for its wool but I don't think food that important now from what I heard from elders.
Everyone will die the moment barrier magic formation lost its power, I want to help out but I'm fucking useless there's nothing I can do except for fixing this damn holes in clothes.
As I was distracted by this thoughts I wasn't able to pay attention to sewing machine and ended up getting needle penetrate in my finger, blood flowing out like fountain the clothes I was sewing got soaked in my blood.
"Ooch" I let out small scram in pain.
Grandma Mary quickly grab one rag from besides her and tightly pressed around the wound and wrapped my finger with rag.
"Pay attention to while working Claude look at what just happened now."
"Good to healer get your finger healed."
"I'm okay, it isn't that bad as it looks." I don't want grandma marry worry about me.
She looked at me and pressure her finger on my injured finger.
"Aaaah oow, what was that for granny."
"Since you said it isn't that bad, I was just checking out."
Dejected I slowly stood from my seat and go outside to get healed by those healer, I really hate the attitude they have someday I'm gonna break their attitude and jaw at the same time but for now there's nothing I can do about it.
I stood in front of healer hut I rather have my natural healing power heal it than them but I'm afraid of getting bacterial infection.
Magic works really weird way that I can't understand or explain but it still works.
As I stood infront of hut door, I heard both of them talking, "Did you hear the News that magic ord has been stolen from safe case after elder put in sealed case after awakener ceremony was completed and someone still managed to stole it."
"Even if they stole it they will still be find out who the thief is after all where else he/she will run in this settlement."
"You are right Dave, I want to see miserable face of thief who stole nearly depleted magic ord, I was even surprised at ceremony that it was still working and didn't become useless stone."
So, magic ord has been stolen I want to hear more but my finger hurts I have to get healed first and magic ord isn't something of my concern.
I know on the
"Hey, if it isn't the brown lad that we saved back then, what trouble you got into this time hope its not those rabbits again."
"Hahahaha" other healer laughed hearing it.
There are three healer in settlement first is chief Luthor daughter, second and third are this two idiots.
Even though they're just 5th rank healer awakener but every healer worth more than anything and having three of them is always best.
That's why everyone tolerate they're bullshit and attitude.
"My finger is bleeding, I got injured while working."
" Its bleeding so much you must quickly get healed."
"How about you knee before us and begged for it."
" Don't be so rude, his injuries isn't that bad and its going to far by asking this low life to knee but he does own us favour by healing him." Said Dave.
"I will own you a favour Dave." I greeted my teeth finally said what they want to hear most.
"That's what I like to hear the most brownie elf boy."
"You own us favour don't forget that nothing is free in this world except for death." Said Dave with narrow eyes.
It was completely naked death threat but one thing they forget was its also true for them.
"Nothing is free except for death."
I softly spoke this words, they heard me but they but they thought I was scared out my wit inside that's why I said this but it was opposite cause sooner or later I will get Into situation were I have to kill human beings too.
That's how this world works but the thing is despite being here for three months I still haven't kill anything no animal, no beast, no monster and no humans.
One day I have to raise my weapon but do I have what it takes to do.
In other manga and novels MC start killing everything and everyone without hesitation and even I thought about that too but now its almost feels impossible to me.
Dave put both of his hands infront of my finger and his palm suddenly started to glow with faint white light.
On my finger I felt like tiny ants are biting my finger it little bit hurt but I easily endure this but seeing magic being used everytime is truly fascinating.
After few minutes my finger got healed, it was good as new like there wasn't any injury in first place not even scar left behind at wound.
Dave look into my eyes with normal smile on his face, "Now your finger is healed, we will call you later on and that time you have to return the favour you own me."
I nodded my head in yes and walked away from healer hut, just as I about put my foot outside Dave asked, "You were the last person who got awaken right."
"Yes"
"Okay, that's it go now."
After few minutes I arrived at my worked place.
Grandma Mary was still there working, she had face full of wrinkles with sign of experience one had as they get old, she's in her early 80s her hair are complete white. Wearing plain old white robe with stains and patch work here and there.
"Now, you are good kid. Just pay attention while working."
"What kind of favour you own those two Claude."
I was shocked how could granny knows about this, " You don't have to be this shocked Claude, you thought you are the only one they said you own them favour."
"They always been like this telling weak and ordinary people that you own them favour because they use their magic to heal you."
"Just don't let them cross boundaries of your self-respect for this fools."
"They didn't say anything about it, it just that I own them one favour now."
Grandma let out sigh and rubbed her eyes.
"Since you are awakener now I would love to teach you magic but sadly I'm just ordinary old hag not mage."
"Only thing I can teach you about is just how to be good tailor."
"All my life I spent working as tailor, raise my kids by myself from money that I earned working as tailor."
"Working is good thing Claude but just don't spend your entire life working enjoy it too, when you get time or make time for yourself to enjoy life."
After saying that grandma Mary chuckle little bit and moved her hand in air calling get closer to her, I sit beside her she looked around to see if someone is there or not.
Then she whispered into my ear.
"Did you know what's the greatest weapon throughout the history ever made."
"No" I look at grandma Mary maybe she knows some secret that no-one does, am I get Legendary weapon soon.
"The greatest weapon ever made is...."
"Needle and threads."
"Huhhhh" I look at grandma Mary, I didn't understand what she meant by that.
"What do you mean by that grandma."
"Is there needle and thread made from legendary rank beast body?" I asked.
"Idiot, I meant that as needle and thread you use while working here "
"Needle and threads are the greatest weapon ever existed."
