Cheat Awakening
Chapter 53: Chapter 53. Bazzams decision
Myne after continuous use of double jump skills, and running from the top of the tree, somehow managed to escape the pursuit of the Orc King till he saw the main gate of Lucus Town.
Myne was never be so happy to see the gate of his town as he was today. Beside the gate with both gatekeepers, he also saw worried Aisha and that flat-chested girl who again covered her tire body in the cloak and was standing behind Aisha like a statue.
"So you guys manage to run away, huh? If I have not se you here, I thought that you guys are still in the forest," Myne said to Aisha jokingly while walking toward her with his trademark smile, but because of his tattered clothes, which can hardly cover his neither region, Myne''s smile looks everything but pleasuring.
Although Myne has quite a lot of clothes in his Invtory but because he didn''t want to reveal his secrets to anyone, he didn''t ev dare to wear them, and if he did he have no excuse to explain where he got his clothes as Aisha and that flat-chested girl both saw that he doesn''t have storage pouch with him, so he can only bite the bullet and walked in front of everyone in such embarrassing condition.
"Myne! Thank God, you are all right, I was so worried about you," Aisha after hearing Myne''s voice immediately looked toward him and after confirming that it was indeed Myne who spoke, not her illusion, she hurriedly runs toward him and give him tight hug, and only after hugging him for a while did she come to her sse and spoke with concern-filled voice.
"Really? You don''t look that worried wh you abandoned me to fight with the Orc King without any hesitation," Myne said in a slow voice which only Aisha could hear while rolling his eyes.
"What are you talking about, it was clearly you who order me to run away, while saying that I am a fatty and run too slow, now how can you say that I abandoned you as I am just following your order," Aisha said innoctly clearly didn''t want to let Myne take her advantage.
Shit, I know that, I shouldn''t have said that, a great chance to emotionally blackmail Aisha missed away, damn it, Myne thought angrily.
"What happed Myne? You look quite sad," Aisha asked while trying to hold back her giggle.
Nothing, I am just feeling a little sad, that while escaping the Orc King''s pursuit, I lost your cloak somewhere," Myne said with a sigh.
"Ahh, don''t worry about it, but if you still fill sad th just take me to the shopping," Aisha said while giving Myne a knowing wink.
Is this a date invitation? Yes, finally all my hard work paid off, now I can joy my beautiful Aisha''s company one more time, and this time we have an tire day. There is also a chance that I can get a kiss from Aisha since she looked so impressed with me today, Myne thought happily while joying Aisha''s big boobies on his naked chest.
While Myne daydreaming about his upcoming date, and his little brother slowly trying to wake up, beside the town gate, Sylphid, who just finished sding an emergcy message to her father, suddly looked at Aisha and Myne with a frown.
"They look pretty close, no wonder Aisha knows so many things about Myne, so they are in a relationship huh, it looks like things are going to become a little complicated."
"Cough! Aisha, if you finished your public show of love, th can we go to the guild? Don''t forget we have to inform the guild leader what happed in the forest so he can take action as soon as possible, otherwise who knows if the Orc King suddly attacks the town?" Sylphid said in a low voice which can only Aisha and Myne hear, with a poker face.
Hearing Sylphid''s cold tone and not-so-nice words, Aisha Immediately distanced herself from Myne with a red face, Yee, Yes, let''s go, we have to meet the guild leader, by the way, Myne, you should also come with us. You are the one who has the most contact with Orcs, your information can give us quite a lot of help," Aisha said with a serious face while trying to avoid Sylphid''s eyes.
"Aisha, before talking at least look at other people''s condition, from which angle do you think I have the mood to wander a in the town in those clothes? Do you want to make me a laughing stock in the tire town?
Although I don''t have much respect in your eyes, but I still hav''t had such bad days that I can auction my honor just like that, also don''t forget that your respectful guild leader banned me from tering the guild, so you go and have fun.
I am just going to my home, I need to change my clothes as soon as possible, people already started watching with the wrong eyes," Myne said nervously while looking a with a fearful expression as some people are talking about him while continuously giving a peek at his little brother, which is clearly not a good thing, so after saying goodbye, he hurriedly runs into the town, before Aisha could speak anything.
"Princess, what should we do now?
Without the help of Myne, how will we know just how many Orcs are in the forest and where their settlemt is?" Aisha asked concernedly although she hav''t se the Orc settlemt herself, but she have heard about it many times that whether there is an Orc King, and an Orc priest prest together, there was always an Orc settlemt nearby, with populations of more than 50 elite Orcs, which for a small town like Lucus is ough to make it disappear from the map of Augusta Kingdom.
"Don''t worry about it, I have already informed my father about the Orc Settlemt, he is going to sd reinforcemts to deal with this crisis soon, we just have to hang on till help arrives. So don''t think too much, and let go, we have to do a lot of things," Sylphid said dominantly.
"Okay, as you command, Princess, Aisha said helplessly while shaking her head, no one was ready to list to her, sometimes she ev felt like she is just a backg character about whom no one really care.
"By the way, you seem quite close to that Myne, is there anything going on betwe you and Myne about which you forget to tell me before?" Sylphid asked with one eye closed.
"Huh? No...no what are you talking about, we are just close frids, yes, just close frids, hahaha," Aisha said awkwardly while trying to not look toward Sylphid.
"Close frids, huh? I see..." Sylphid said with a smile that doesn''t look like a smile, but still, she didn''t try to put her nose in other people''s business.
...
The tire way Aisha and Sylphid didn''t say anything, Sylphid because of her status, can''t talk to anyone causally and had to maintain her image all the time, while Aisha because she didn''t want to attract unnecessary trouble.
Here give it a try, you defiantly like it, and believe me, I have to give a lot of things to my close frid before he decides to sell me those three bottles," Bazzam said proudly.
But Sylphid after hearing about the Humblosun Gold Wine, a frown appears on her beautiful face, because she never heard about it, and if this wine is really as popular as Bazzam describes, th it is really quite weird that she didn''t know about it. Sylphid hesitantly smelled the wine but she only felt a lovely sct in her nose, th she through a little bit and took a small sip of wine.
As wine ter Sylphid''s mouth and touch her tongue, for a momt Sylphid had an illusion that she was flying, she had never drunk something so good in her tire life, th Sylphid like a thirsty wanderer in the desert, quickly finish the tire glass of wine in the one gulp.
"Give me more," said Sylphid while rising the empty glasses toward Bazzam.
"Yes, yes, Princess, here, saying such, Bazzam refilled Sylphid''s empty glass with a painful expression in his eyes, clearly, he didn''t respect that the Princess, whom he considered a gtle and well behaved lady, turn out to be a big drinker.
Only after finishing the second glass of wine, did Sylphid come back to her sse, and realize what she is doing, she cough a little bit to hide her embarrassmt and hurriedly change the topic.
"Do you know anything about the noble who is selling this wine?" Sylphid asked clearly interested in this new wine.
"Sorry, princess, I have to disappoint you but I don''t know anything about him, because most of his work is done by his workers or his butler, and he never reveals his information in public," Bazzam said apologetically.
"Th wh did he start selling this wine, and what is its price rate?" Sylphid asked while staring at the gold bottle in Bazzam''s hand passionately clearly she wanted to drink more, but she can''t just grab it from others'' hands, she still has to remember her idtity after all.
"Well, as far as I know, this wine come into the market months ago, and its one battle price is 0 platinum coins, but because it is too hard to get, in the black market its price is more than 50 platinum coins," Bazzam said after thinking for a while.
"I see, by the way, how many A-Rank advtures are currtly in your guild?" Sylphid asked.
"Huh? A Rank Advturer? What are you talking about Princess, how can my guild have such strong people? I myself am only a B Rank Advturer, how can I have the courage to order them and let them join my guild, and work for me?
Also, this is just a small town near the capital city, without any worth mtioning resources, we don''t ev have a single dungeon in this town, th why do powerful people with A-Rank strgth come here?" Bazzam said with a helpless smile.
Just because of this reason he tried many times to transfer to other cities with dungeons under their control, but because he only has the power of a B Rank advturer, he never gets approval from higher up, and so he has to spd most of his life in this small town, ev though he has quite a high ambition at the start of his carrier, which later smokes up by the wind of reality.
"What! So you are saying that in this tire town, there is not a single A-Rank Advturer?" Sylphid exclaimed while standing up from her chair.
"Amm, as far as I know, there are also 5 or so people with B Rank strgth, and others are just normal people without any sufficit power, by the way, Princess who is that A-Rank advturer you just mtion," Bazzam asked embarrassingly while rubbing his hand back of his head.
Done, you guys are done for th, now take my advice and start praying that the Orc King doesn''t come to your door before reinforcemt from the capital city comes, otherwise, no one can save you," Sylphid said with a sigh completely ignore Bazzam question, and th first, she took out her storage pouch from her blouse pocket, put her hand in the storage pouch, and took out a handful of platinum coins, and put them on the desk, th she grabs the gold wine bottle from Bazzam and start walking toward the exit.
"Wait a minute, Princess, can you please tell me, what do means by the Orc King coming to my door, and about reinforcemt, Bazzam hurriedly asked nervously, he ev forget to look at the platinum coins on his desk, ev Mia who start to d forget by everyone, held her breath, so she doesn''t miss anything about which Sylphid going to say.
After hearing Bazzam''s request, Sylphid thought for a momt and describe everything that happed in the forest.
"So, now you understand how critical your town''s situation is, but don''t worry if everything goes well, th you might not ev see the Orc King''s face, before some deal with him, but still, if your luck is really bad, th I can only pray for you, Sylphid said and after nodding her head toward dumbfounded Bazzam and Mia, she walks out from his office.
"Grandpa, what should we do now? Should I pack our things before the Orc King come to our gate?" Mia asked nervously.
"Shut up, you idiot, can''t you see such a simple thing, since Princess herself is not a little bit nervous, and ev dare to drink wine so causally th she defiantly has some backup plan ready, so we don''t have to worry too much," Bazzam said angrily while showing his deep trust toward the royal family.
"Okay, Grandpa, th I am going back to my work," Mia said helplessly, and just wh she was about to slip out from Bazzam''s office, she heard his voice from behind, "By the way, since you insist so much th tell you, grandma to pack my favorite blanket and pillow as well, you know without them I can''t fall asleep."
Huh? Don''t he just a momt ago say that he believes in Princess and nothing bad going to happ, th why did he change his mind so soon? Mia thought but because her grandpa was already quite angry with her she dare not joke with him, and just nodded her head, and hurriedly left his office while leaving Bazzam alone in the room.
Who would have thought that the guy whom I just kick out from the guild to save some money, turn out to be hiding his strgth so deeply, no wonder he didn''t take my word seriously that time, and this also explains how Lyle and his father die so suddly.
Sigh, seems like this time I mess up all the things but now it is not time to cry over spilled milk, I need to make a plan to deal with this situation.
By the way, it seems like Mia''s grandma always wanted to see Sea, and I also have be fooling her till now while saying that wh the time is right we would go on a long vacation, now since the town is under such a great danger, and a big emy of mine, who is waiting to kill me in dark at any momt, so there''s no better time to get away from all this mess.
Yes, this is the perfect plan, such a gius I am, hahaha, Bazzam laughs for a while and th he hurriedly writes a resignation letter, and after taking all valuable things from all the hidd safes in his office, he also left his office...
