Stuck in new World
It was a bright sunny day and the small village in the vast plains with its inhabitants naturally continued along with their daily activities.
Three centaurs were standing around in the central area of the village, they were discussing with each other about the recently enhanced village security and the regular monthly payment they make to the tax collector.
Apparently, there had been no notable incidents in the past few years, excluding the very few beasts from the forest who tried to attack the outskirts, though they were dealt with, with much ease.
The three were waiting for the aforementioned tax collector whom you could consider them familiar with, after all, he does make monthly rounds.
They had enough in store for this months payment and the laws imposed upon the village were fairly reasonable, on top of this, it was a small peaceful village exclusively for centaurs.
"Oh right! The tax collector."
"It's fine if it's the same guy from last time. Anyways, I was saying that we should plan to build a moat around our village similar to the one that city has, or at least some more traps."
"No! I'd rather not have our children falling into traps we built like last time whilst they are running around."
"I guess you're right. I still think we should continue enhancing our defenses further!
"Anyway, it seems they have arrived, call the chief and that strange magic caster."
After one of the centaurs said that, the others both looked towards the gate as a carriage began to enter the village.
It was an ordinary carriage without any form of luxury with a rather large storage area, at the back were two beastmen riding aboard.
The chief who was just arriving was a well-built warrior centaur who brought with him another centaur. Centaurs were generally warriors, yet the person tagging along with the chief was not, he was a magic caster.
Both of them were wearing equipment superior to that which the three of them had.
The magic caster had suddenly arrived at the village around a year ago out of nowhere. He doesn't remember very much about himself though does seem to be able to miraculously remember his magic training.
Some centaurs of the village were rather wary of him in the beginning as he looked far too young compared to his outstanding abilities.
After time getting used to him and showing he was willing to help to the village with his vast capabilities, along with teaching them more about magic, was more than enough to make the distance between him and the rest of the tribe quickly disappear.
"It seems you have arrived, Tax Collector-dono." said the chief
"Hello chief-san, it seems to be a good harvest this year." the tax collector replied
"Indeed it was, we have also improved our defenses since last you came."
The tax collector looked towards the magic caster and said, "So how are you Kitsuma-san? Have you remembered anything?"
"No, not yet, but I am doing fine, where's the bard?" the magician named Kitsuma said with a wry smile
"Oh, he is near the gate talking to the gatekeepers."
"Thank you, well then, please excuse me."
Saying that the magic caster began moved towards the gate and the tax collector along with the others began discussing important, yet less interesting village matters.
The magic caster continued towards the bard at the gate and greeted him they both then went a short distance away but far enough so that the gatekeepers would be unable to hear their conversation.
"So how is your kid, is he still feeling unwell, Eric?" voiced Kitsuma
"He is feeling much better and it's all thanks to you and that red medicine you gave us, I have brought some interesting information this time that may be useful to you." replied the bard named Eric
Kitsuma nodded at Eric and listened intently, after all, the way he made it sound had piqued his interest.
The bard started with and informed him about various events in and around the neighbouring countries and far off places.
"So, have you heard about the new country, it calls itself the "Sorceror Kingdom"?"
Kitsuma hadn't heard of this nation before, even though he had only been in a village for the past year, he was capable of gathering a fair amount of information about the more important parts of this world, such as the major countries
"No, it seems I haven't, please go on."
"It will cost you four silver; it's about the annual war between the Baharuth Empire and the Re-Estize Kingdom and a horrifyingly powerful magic caster like you, no even more powerful than you."
He wants payment even after I helped cure his son?! I guess it doesn't matter too much if I give up some of my silver coins.
"I do know about the yearly war between the human kingdoms, could it be that your speaking of the magic caster Fluder Paradyne?"
"No, this magic caster is now the king of the new Sorcerer Kingdom!" said Eric looking towards the magic caster who looked to be in deep thought
He began rubbing his fingers together, obviously indicating money
"Oh, please do continue!" said Kitsuma handing over four silver coins with a slightly irritated expression on his face...
