Chapter 40
Chapter 40
After a night of activities waking in Freyas arms with mine wrapped around Stacy. Today was the day regardless if we could get a merchant train in this city or not we would depart. I sent a letter to the Marquis. He would make sure no nobles tried to take advantage of our properties. I believed Carol knew what was good for her and wouldn't run rampant and Fluffy will be Fluffy. I unwrapped myself and took a deep breath. I was ready my smile grew and I went outside and looked into the sky ready. I was leaving and I felt happy to move plans moved forward and I was ready for the next part.
The house not to long after started to move. Everything was packed that we needed and things were prepared. There was no rush as I stood looking at the home we purchased and lived in for such a short time. Maybe I was getting sentimental or something but I was going to miss it but I was happy to be going onto the road. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the food Stacy had cooked. I enjoyed the meal and everyone grabbed their stuff and we left for the adventurers guild.
The walk was not long nor short but we walked in silence companionable everyone in their thoughts. This was Stacy's hometown she had never left it. My little pain doll was going to be leaving home for the first time. Freya had left home only to go to the adventurer academy which thought her the basics of Bard's style. Now it was time to leave into the world.
As we entered the guild nothing new was going on with adventurers leaving and entering looking at the job board. I directly looked walked up to a male elderly human doing the reception. I gave a simple greeting and asked for jobs or escorts going south towards the Demon Country. He looked at me and told me there was one leading south but were not looking for people of my calibre. After discussing I decided for us that no job was better. We will try in other cities and we can explore and kill at our pleasure.
I looked at the board for things that always have a kill reward like bandits and monsters that fill the forests between the city. The monsters and the beasts in the northern Beast mountains were completely different. The Beasts to the north had a long recognized intelligence when they reach a certain point of power. Monsters on the other hand no matter how powerful they became they stayed mindless to their instincts. In the central area of the continent, they have almost been eradicated. Places like the Beast-Kin Country, Kingdom of Arlin are the best examples that the monsters have been eradicated. They systematically killed all of them till the point that bandits were the worst problem they had. They were a problem but not as bad as the mindless **** and murdering goblins and other such mindless monsters did to all intelligent species.
Goblins are still prevalent in many Kingdoms although much rarer with the systematic hunting that happened. These were brought on by the Pure hatred a lot of adventurers remember from when they started out. The villages that came from destroyed the childhood friends raped until they died. All of these doomed the race where adventurers reigned supreme since they brought more attention to these problems than other nations. Some let these problems breed for their economy so that the lowest echelon would die out or survive and become strong.
The Empire of the United was such a power that the Law of the Jungle reigns there above all else. Most of its civilian population refuse to leave the cities in fear for their lives and only the desperate leave the cities walls for coppers and silver to survive the next day. This created a cycle of one of the premier militaries on the vast continent and was slowly making their way inwards. The problem though is that their military supply lines have made it increasingly worse stalling its expansion. The very thing that made it military strong was the thing hamstringing it from expanding. It was a conundrum no one wanted to solve them from what I heard. Then there are places like the Forestry of the Elves that wanted to live with the monsters since they are as much of the forest as them. This leads to atrocities in neighbouring countries since almost all elves can handle themselves after decades of living was their teenage years.
Monsters in many countries were a sensitive subject that many differing opinions grew. The majority though was of the line kill them all. I didn't care about that the fuckers tried to attack me I would kill them. That simple I don't care if some fucking tree huger tells me it will make them extinct or I could reason with it. It shoots an arrow at me it dies. I build myself to be powerful and I will be damned if some pipsqueak tries to kill me and I hug it in return.
I tell Freya and Stacy that we will go without and collect materials between cities as we travel. I took to the road back to our house with Freya and Stacy in tow. We were going to be walking and not taking any carriages with us. I would use my inventory to keep that in check and the girls exclaimed to it. This apparently was not a common thing but not impossible in this world. The Bag of holding many called it and it was a rare tool that tailors strived to reach. This made the profession a more wanted one and popular. Still few reached it and not many learned even when they reached the master level as many who could make them kept it as a National level secret. This was the attainment many wanted. Stacy asked if I had another and where I kept it on me since she was curious to study it to learn how to make it. I was surprised this existed but became less so later when I realized there was a mystery called magic here. I knew not most of what it does. I did want one though so I could hide my more efficient inventory.
We reached home grabbed our backpacks and my Tigers and walked towards the exit of the city to leave for a journey around the known world and a smile plastered our faces as we left into the sunset with a spring to our step and tigers on our trail.
