《The Great Nok Ma》Chapter 6: Irregulars (part 1)
Advertisement
I woke up earlier than usual today, I stretch my body and tidy my bed.
It's only been half a month, but I had already memorized the first half of the chapter that I was studying. Though it's a little slower than my calculations, it is faster compared to when I was normal.
The old man is treating me more nicely in the past few days. I can say that we are on a more friendly relationship now. He was also generous enough to change the menu of the food that he is bringing. Now its either leaf stew or grass stew with some meat and fruits with it when he's happy.
I have also reached full recovery four days ago, I thought it will only take three days, It seems that I'm really bad at calculations. Maybe it's because I feel better than before. The saying 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' really is true. I can feel that my body is a lot stronger in comparison before almost dying, and even though I still can't leave the room, I still do some exercises while in here, other than studying I spend mostly of my time on body conditioning like push-ups and other stationary exercises.
After tidying the bed I did some exercises waiting for old man Kril to come with my breakfast.
*knock knock*
'Come in' I said.
'You're up early today.' he replied while entering the room with a bowl and some fruits. Wow he's in a pretty good mood today. I smile and help him carry my breakfast.
'Still no news about another irregular?' I asked. By the way that's what elder Yvos the elder who handles the village security, call me when he visited last week to see me in person because I'm different from the local humans.

I've also asked him a favor to gather news about the other irregulars.
From our conversations I also learned that Alderdyfi is more like a city rather than a village. They just call it a village because only 10% of the inhabitants are dark elves the rest are dwarves and mostly animal kin folks who are animals that can talk and have intellect. You can distinguish them from the beast companions by the way they look. They look just like normal humans only with a tail or some other animal feature in their body.
'Elder Yvos have some, he told me that there are some reports of humans who are being sold as slaves with exorbitant prices than the norm because of their special abilities but he also said that they can also just be local humans,on the towns beyond the great river Genes.' he replied.
If I can remember correctly, across the river is the Kingdom of Kinos ruled by the Kinos clan of the local humans. They have multiple towns and several cities. Their territory is four times bigger than Alderdyfi's or half of the kingdom of Lymore which is drawn on the map that Rashka gave me.
Suddenly it hit me.
'Twelve kilometers beyond the river is Riverside town with atleast several hundred residents. So there is a high probability that those humans being sold as slaves are irregulars.' I told Kril with excitement.
