The War Against Drakath
Masamune34 has been doing a lot of work for King Alteon, let's see how this is working out for him...
Chapter 12: Building Up Reputation
I've been working for King Alteon for a while now, and he seems impressed with my work. He's giving me a position of authority above other knights after what I did at the Forest of Chaos.
I'm glad, because this will make my missions easier. I've done several things for the king now, such as killing slimes that were on the bridge.
I wondered...it seemed like Drakath was going to choose the 1st Lord of Chaos pretty soon. I wonder who they were going to be? Whoever they were, they were probably going to have complete allegiance to Drakath. I shuddered.
I suppose when they showed up, we'd have to go and stop them from whatever they were planning on doing. After all, we were heroes. Although in Blackmagic13's case, she was more of an anti-hero. I wish she wasn't such a troublemaker...
Speaking of which, I wondered where Whitemagic7 was. She seemed like a nice girl. Did she have special powers like we do? She seemed to be a healer of some kind...
Anyways, King Alteon sent me to do more training. He said that there wasn't much more I could learn from hitting a dummy, and instead trained me in swordsplay. We used wooden sticks so we wouldn't get hurt.
I was getting pretty good. It took me a while to learn, but I got the hang of it. I'm pretty sure it would come in handy in a swordsfight one day. After all, I don't want to have to lose any limbs...I need my hands so I can type!
Speaking of hands, there had been reports of recent thefts lately. Various valuable items had been stolen. I wondered who was behind all this?
It had been gold and treasure and things like that. Seemed like whoever was doing this was pretty greedy.
The Guardian Tower at Battleon had pretty valuable items. I wondered if the thief was going to strike there next.
They had better catch that bandit. Whoever was responsible had caused enough trouble already. About 100000 gp worth of items had been stolen. That's enough for me to change from good to evil, not like I'm going to do that.
I visited the Guardian Tower. They were pretty nice to let non-guardians enter the tower. They also had interesting things for sale. Too bad I wasn't a Guardian. I wasn't a Dragonlord or a Star Captain either. Who were those guys? They seemed stronger than ordinary adventurers. And they seemed to have better weaponry...I wish I was a Guardian...
I heard that Lore had various enemies attack it over the years. Carnax...Akriloth...The Devourer...seemed like Lore was never at peace...
On the bright side, there were various adventurers that were ready to help in times of need, such as myself. Speaking of which, I heard that lately the mining town of Mobius had uncovered a mysterious artifact, I wondered what that could be?
Enjoying the story? In the next chapter, we'll go back to Blackmagic13 and see how she's doing...please R&R!
