《Saga of the Overgod》Chapter 13: Ambush
Advertisement
The morning after the incident between the two clans, the whole city is covered by the news.
"Did you hear? The low-class Dowter clan attacked the Sofori clan yesterday?"
"Yes, I heard that! That's the hottest news in our city today. It's shocking because the outcome of the battle is not what we think would happen, instead the winner is the low-class clan."
"Yes, some even said that the Dowter clan brought a demon along them that's why they win against the powerful Sofori clan."
"There is a high possibility that what you said is true, logically speaking, a low-class Dowter clan winning over the highest class clan in the Bigfield city is not possible without an outside help."
"By the way, the Dowter clan is not a low-class clan anymore, these past few days I saw them busy with activities inside their clan, it is said that they discovered a rich mining site in their territory and the Dowter clan is changing to become a middle-class clan because of the wealth provided by the mining site. The Sofori clan coveted it that's why a battle happens between these two."
Multiple people are discussing the matter of the two clans. Slowly the stories change and become exaggerated. Some said that the Dowter clan was not a low or middle-class clan anymore instead they are a high-class clan that time and they got the guts to fight. Others said that the said demon with them is really powerful and the Dowter clan is being used as pawns to conquer the world.
These are just some of the changes and exaggeration of the stories that cover the entire city.
On the Dowter clan territory, many tents stood as temporary houses for the clan members, because of the demolition that happened just yesterday many people are now homeless. But instead of being gloomy you can see the warm greetings of each clan members, they talk as if nothing really bad happens to their houses and to their life. Almost only a few people are not in a mood because of mourning, they mourn for their family member that died at the hands of the Imperial guards of the Sofori clan that Michael brought.
Inside a big tent, the clan leader called for a meeting with the elders. Their Ancestral Mansion is also destroyed by the Imperial guards.

"Our people was recovering from the incident yesterday, most of them are excited instead of being sad because of the compensation of the Sofori clan." an old man said calmly, apparently this is the second elder.
It is true, because of the promise of repairing their village and making it on par with the territory of the high-class clan, the clan members of the village got excited by this and can't wait to see their houses rebuilt better than before.
"Yes, those Sofori clan really suffered a big loss, just by compensating for what they have done they already consumed half of their treasure. Giving us 10,000 gold coins and also restoring our village into a higher class clan one is a big set back for them."The third elder said. Unlike the second elder, this one is much talkative.
The Sofori clan is not just your ordinary high-class clan, they are the one dominating the whole city, so their wealth is much better than the other high-class clan. If the other high-class clan would change position at them, they will surely get their treasury empty.
"We must thank that guy; I mean Tromer for helping us out, if not for him we will be crushed by those haughty high-class clan." The first elder said.
After listening to the complaints and ideas of the elders, the clan leader take a sip of coffee...
Suddenly, the tent's entryway opened, revealing a panting man full of sweat. "Greetings clan leader and elders! A man comes to us saying that he's the representative provided by the Sofori clan!"The man said hurriedly.
"Let him come here." The clan leader said.
----
At the top of Mt. Tri-mus a simple a house stood mostly made of woods apparently the woods are the same as the woods in the nearby forest, this is Tromer's house. A teenager with natural white hair is sitting cross-legged at the front of a one-armed man while the man is talking as if teacher teaching his student.
"Do you remember what I said yesterday?" The man said.
"Yes master!" The teenager replied excitedly but with a hint of fear.
Clearly, this is the pair of a master and disciple. He has something that he wants Farjan to do, a mission, a special mission rather.

"I have a special mission for you."
When Farjan heard what his master said he immediately took out something, a hammer. "I'm prepared! What am I gonna build today? You want a bigger house?"
Tromer got dumbfounded by this scene."This kid is slightly getting on my nerves," He said to himself.
"What do you think? Do I make you as my disciple to be a construction worker?"Tromer replied to Farjan slightly angry."What I want you to do is to find somethings for me in this world full of undiscovered treasures," he added.
"Find somethings? Not just one but many?"
"Yes kid, there are few."
"So, what are those, master?"
"It's some things that will help me recover so most of it are medicinal plants and some are materials."
"Medicinal plants? There are a lot of those in the dry market, we do not know how to use those so we just eat them."
"Yeah, I know, but those are just common medicinal plants, which I need are special or somewhat rare medicinal plants to make the most effect."
"Yes master, I understood." With that he turned to leave.
But Tromer holds his hands before he can completely turn to leave. "What's the problem master?"
"You will leave immediately? You sure you can do what I told you to do?"
"Yes master"
Tromer hit Farjan's head, "What the?!"Farjan said with a look of questioning.
"You will just leave without knowing the details and other stuffs?"
"Oh?! Sorry master."Farjan immediately realized that some details lacked. For example, he doesn't know the medicinal plants that his master needs.
"Okay, first I want you to read the intermediate alchemy books that I have here." With that he tosses around ten books that discuss the intermediate level of information about alchemy. "You need to first know more about alchemy because you will gather medicinal plants for me, I will give you the advanced alchemy books.
after you finished those."He added.
"Understood." Farjan replied excitedly after seeing the lots of books in front of him. He never expected that after becoming a disciple of this man, not only he can practice cultivation but also gets more knowledge and read lots of books. Now this knowledge-loving man suddenly becomes lively.
"Go and read those, I will just call you if I have something to tell or ask for you. I expect you to finish that within half a month."Tromer said and leave immediately.
Walking back home, he didn't actually go straight to their village but he goes to the city and marketplace to go buy some food to eat with his family back home.
And of course, as he walks, many strange gazes are targeted towards him while people are murmuring to each other. He is the first one of the Dowter clan to go to the marketplace now, so many people look at him combined with his fame as a man who accepts almost all jobs, it is not impossible that many people knew him.
Farjan knows the reason behind these scenes playing in front of him, but he paid them no mind as if he does not see them nor hear them. After he buys the things, he needed he immediately go back home.
But while he was walking home not that far from the marketplace in a dark alleyway full of garbages and rubbishes, a group of people suddenly reveal themselves, there are around a dozen of them and they all wear black clothes that covers almost all their body that only their eyes is seen. They hold thin swords, and they emit intense killing intent towards Farjan,who is staring coldly without much expression as if these people are not causing fear to him.
From the looks of it, they are hired killers whose job is to kill someone with a request from somebody who has grudges with the other party. But unlucky of them they targeted Farjan who is now a second level cultivator.
"Fight or surrender?" Farjan coldly said. It is clear as the light of the day that these people are not here to help him, instead they have bad intentions.
The hired-killers just laughed at him in reply. A teenager asking them to surrender? It is a joke for them. What benefits should they get when they surrender to a mere teenager? Besides, what reason would they do so?
With that the black clothed men attacked towards him in unison.

Their romantic relationship will blossom further later in the series, most likely the third book rather than first. I still suggest reading the first and second though for lore purposes and character and relationship progression.Enjoy 🌻Sinclair
