《Never Bring Sword Into a Gun Fight》A Curious Case in the Tree's Nest

Advertisement

[Where are we going, Mr Dean?] Billy

[There should be a small village ahead. Let's just follow the road for now] me

We've been leaving Dasi village for hours now. According to the map I get from Val, there is a small village not far from here.

It doesn't have any name written on the map.

Is the settlement too small that it doesn't have any name? Or the map is not that detailed?

But Dasi village is registered here.

Oh well, It's not that rare that a medieval mapping system missing out on some detail after all.

As long as all the road on this map is still there, I won't complain about some unnamed villages.

After walking for more hours, we finally arrived at a village. It's far smaller than Dasi village. It doesn't even have a wall, let alone a gate. I can easily count the building here using my fingers.

[Billy, can you secure our lodging in that tavern over there? I don't see any information board here so I'll ask around for a mercenaries request.] Me

[No problem Sir. I'll also ask around the tavern for information.] Billy

[Thanks. And get some food while you're at it.] Me

[Will do] Billy

I ask around some people here and they all pointing to the building near the center that is supposed to be their village chief house.

[Greetings sire. Do you need something?] Village chief

[Umm... Good evening... I'm here to ask if you need any assistance from a mercenary?] Me

[I'm afraid we don't have any requests of that sort at the moment, sir.] Village chief

[Hmm, it's fine. Then, can you tell me something about this village? I don't see any information about it on the map that I got.] Me

[This small settlement sir? Haha. I actually surprise if this place was even drawn on the map.] Village chief.

[As you can see, this is just a small community. We don't bother naming this place but the wanderer that comes here calls it the Tree's Nest. I'm the acting leader here, my name is Loan.] Loan

....

[Thats about all that I can say about this place sir.] Loan

[It's good enough, thank you. If anything comes up, you can find me in the tavern.] Me

[No problem sir and thank you for your concern. Please, do enjoy our food and mead.] Loan

-------------------------------------------------------------

[Welcome back, Mr. Dean. Do you find anything?] Billy

[I'm afraid not. Nothing we can do here. How about you?] Me

[I'm also empty. But, that old man over there, he claims that he's a bard. He said that he's not having any information to share, but maybe if you talk to him] Billy

[I'll try] Me

[Ehm. Good evening sir.] Me

[Oohh another mercenary? I wonder why this small place has become so lively.] Old Bard

[Heard you're a bard. Care to entertainers me with some story?] Me

[Straight to business, I see. Hmm? Can you come closer child?] Old Bard

Hmm?

[Hahahaha. I see. Bard sigil eh? You ought to attract unwanted attention if you dangling it on your chest like that, young man.] Old Bard.

[Umm... Thanks for the advice. But back to the chase, are you sure you don't have any information for us?] Me

[Hmm... I do actually. But I don't know if I want to tell you] Old bard

[You can name your price] Me

[Hahahaha... Just look at me, young man! Do you think I can use the money you gave me? Nah, I'm just a retired old man. Piece! is what I need.] Old bard
