《the strange world》Chapter 3(first half): The unfriendly meeting
Advertisement
Everyone born in this world have atleast one magic attribute. But it will be regarded as useless if the person who controls it doesn't have the talent in magic. It is so important for them as they believes that a user with a magic attribute of two or more is destined to be a king. It is unknown of who started this practice but their bases is the bloodline of the royalty. Their childrens are possessing an immense amount of magical power and the possibility of having a unique magic attribute. If they bear a child with no special quality, they will immediately disown the child. No one will refute this since people who succeds in life using only physical strenght and brain are rare in this world.
A man wearing armor entered the guard house and saluted to the middle aged man sitting on the chair.
[ Captain! Sir liam and his group have returned ]
The middle aged man has a beard that makes his appearance full of wisdom. He seems to be the captain of the city's guards base on what the man had called him. Infront of him is a table and on top of it is a blank sheet.
[ That's good. Open the gate ]
[ Yes ]
He only said a brief order and the man wearing armor saluted and immediately left. After the door was closed, he focuses his eyes at the blank sheet.
[ Reveal! ]
The captain casted a spell and the blank sheet begins to show drawings of trees, rivers, mountains, roads and groups of houses. After the drawings was completed, the blank sheet magically turned into a map.
[ Show me the nearest dungeon ]
The map reacts to the words of the captain and the drawings begins to move like they are real. Not a second passed and a tower emerges in the center of the map.

[ Just like I thought. The strange appearing of monsters is caused by this dungeon. Tch. This is not good. It will bring alot of trouble. We have to shut it down before it could get worse ]
The sounds of horses galloping is approaching the gates of Antares.
A total of eleven horsemen are what they have in sight. Each one of them are worn out as if they just lost their soul.
[ What happened? ]
Asked one of the guards.
[ We were ambushed by an Aquarior ]
[ I will explain to you later the details. For now, please help the others with fatal injuries ]
Answered by the man who seems to be the leader of the group.
[ Blessed water! ]
The guard casted a spell and sparkles of refreshing water droplets appears around the body of the man.
[ You should have taken care of yourself more. You know that this city is relying to the whitesong guild and especially you ]
[ Anyone that can use healing magic. Join me in assisting the hunters ]
Magic attributes has their own healing magic or recovery magic. Holy attribute has this particularly. It was leveled from normal to advance healing. The healing magic casted by one of the guard was a normal type healing magic. Magic user of this kind of magic is needed in this kind of situation. Everyone are busy that they did not notice a young man watching them from the top of the gates.
( Where should I go first? Hmm that store looks cool. Okay. Let's go there ]
Izgor perfectly falls down from the gates. When he touches the ground, he discovered the hardness of it unlike in his town where the streets are not concreted. He begins to walk forward while observing the surroundings. The city is not crowded and there are different store lined up across the street. Izgor is eager to enter every store but he choose the most interesting one. After a brief walking, he reached a store with a sign " The Golden Anvil ". Entering the shop, he immediately noticed the dazzling weapons and armors being displayed. The inside of the store is full of sharp objects and tough looking armors. He didn't get a closer look when a middle-age man holding a glowing hammer approaches him.

[ Yes? Is there anything you need? ]
A man in his prime wears an energetic smile while asking. Izgor thinks it is safe to assume that he is the store keeper as there's no one beside him.
[ No. Im just looking out of curiousity ]
[ Then sir, please allow me to recommend our specialty ]
[ Hmmm. Alright then ]
The store keeper pointed his left hand which is holding the strange hammer at the direction of the weapons. Two weapons starts to glow golden light. The double edged sword which is hanging on the wall and what seems to be a dagger resting in the pile of weapons.
[ Those two elemental weapons are self-crafted by me ]
The store keeper proudly walks towards the two weapons. He picked the dagger first. While wearing a confident smile he said to Izgor.
[ This great dagger was crafted by me, the best blacksmith in the city and the owner of the Golden Anvil, with pride and honor ]
He tried to take a peek at the eyes of Izgor to find the look of excitement but not in his expectations, Izgor just stand there with a poker face.
( Maybe he is slowly processing my words because of shock? Hehe. Then this will wake you up ]
He lifts his hand holding the dagger in the air.
[I named this great dagger- The flame of Malice! ]
To the disappointment of the store keeper, Izgor just walks passed him and said.
[ Not interested ]
As if to cease the awkward atmosphere, the door suddenly opens with a loud bang. A blonde young man entered the store. He is wearing a leather suit with a hint of being made up of high class materials. The young man has the aura of a rich noble. One glance at him and the first thing that'll come to your mind is that he is someone's spoiled kid. He stopped at the front of the store keeper.
[ Hand me your best offer ]
[ Ye-yes sir ]
The store keeper immediately rush to his private room located in the corner of the store disregarding Izgor who's currently rummaging the weapons. The blonde young man noticed him and gives him a scorn look. After a short time, the store keeper returned holding a chest box.
[ Im sorry for making you wait sir Zon ]
[ Bring it inside the carriage. As for the payment, just discuss it with my father ]
The store keeper nodded. Finished in satisfying his curiousity, Izgor is planning to leave when suddenly, a wall of ice appeared blocking the exit.
