《Memoirs of an old traveler:First Rebirth》Chapter 16-That ye old cliche
Advertisement
Well now I have reached the stage of squirehood where at least I can ride Eurus more now that she has grown into a proper mare. It has been exhilarating to feel the wind on my face as we speed around the nearby land. The only spoiler is the training aketon with scrap metal plate for weights inserted. This thing is stuffed with blacksmith reject metal only fit for weights being not even worth melting down as the estate blacksmith Talla muttered while I was being sized. Her apprentices had messed up a couple times practicing and these were the results, really being capable of putting anything to use are we. Well reusing things are good I suppose to ensure there is as little waste as possible
The nearby village I saw back in the past is now within reach. The village is larger than most on average and offers a blacksmith, tanner, clothier, and an inn. Since the manor is nearby and has a guard barracks it makes sense that the nearby village took advantage. The fields here are in full growth as harvest is here. The occasional farmer stops their work gathering the crops and waves to me and I wave back, looks like the family is popular here. But even being out here is part of my training, I am supposed to find those who have finished and are ready to store their grain in the village storehouse as requested by the village chief Malark. but that is further on as these people now are not done yet.Once everything is harvested then there will be a festival for all to attend. This ought to be a good opportunity to meet the people but for now my work.
Ahhh looks like this is the first finished group of workers at the outskirts of the village fields, a clump of 5 people are standing by a bundle of tied grain. It looks like the entire family, the parents and children. In this case 2 sons around 16 and a daughter that looks 18, they wave in greeting as I pull up to them and the father starts speaking

”Good day to you young master we finished our harvest and our neighbors should be done soon, just have to lash the grain together you can tell the chief to send the carts now”.
“Very well I’ll head over, anything else to say or interesting news today”
“Just one, there have been a lot of wolves howling recently, could be a new pack has moved nearby. Could spell trouble for anything gets stirred up because of this, especially if they decide it’s worth it to try and take livestock”.
“Got it, I’ll tell the guard kader to send out a patrol to find out what is going on, nothing else has happened”
“None my lord, a safe journey to you”
As I nod in return and get back on Eurus I notice movement in the forest ahead. Shit speak and it shall come, I recognize those from my studies.
A group of green humanoids come, dressed in rough and torn furs and armed with stone hatchets and short spears they stumble this way haphazardly. They number almost 50 in all with one being the evident leader being bigger and armed with a shortsword of iron. They notice the group of humans and the leader pushes about 10 forward hoping to test the waters yet another group goes into the middle of them all. They look ready to fight or fall back if needed, even outnumbering and being in formation they do not move forward recklessly. On closer look the group in the middle don’t look like warriors being unarmed and carrying baskets of items. My body tenses itself now that the group advancing is more easily seen, they look ragged but there is a slight pressure on me from their advance. This is bloodlust or killing intent eh, again I face it but this time it is for real. I tighten my grip on my sword, this is not going to end easily I think but then again this is killing something that is a simpler task compared to other things.
