11 New Home Part 2 (2/2)

” Hult you cannot enter the gate yet” a towering man with a stern face walks up to personal stop little soul. ”Hmm, so I can understand their language must be that old mans soul at work again” He looked to the side seeing other people walking through past the guards no problem. They were wearing armor pieces and carried weapons, some even hulled carts full of dead creatures.

A bit worried as to why one of the guards would signal him out of everyone else little soul started to sweat but kept his cool. ”Why are you stopping me did I do something wrong?”. He says in the voice of a decrepit old man even some of the words he said did not come out right because he had no teeth. If he was in trouble little soul was going to milk the old man card for all it was worth. I mean come on who would cause trouble for a defenseless old man?

”No sir but, you have in your possession three monster cores that don't belong to you. As you know as the law states in Delmar City any creature killed by a city guard of Delmar is the property of Delmar City. so, please hand over the 3 monster cores in your possession and you may be on your way”.

So that was the problem ... wait if it's their property then they killed those three Orcs chasing after me but how? I was still so far away from the wall of the city. What kind of weapons do these people have? No sniper from my world could do what I saw? Then again this isn't my world and here a pistol has the force of a cannon I guess that makes sense. Not only that their communication system seems to be good too despite these guys dressed like it's the medieval days.

Knowing these things is helpful to little soul so he can blend in and live here easily. ”There is no need to get all serious with me, young man. I know the rules I was just retrieving the monster cores for you guys to lessen the workload on you all”.

little soul said everything with a straight face without breaking character at all then smiled showing the guard the bums in his mouth.

The guard looks at the toothless old man it was obvious from the expression on his face he did not believe a single word that the old man said. ”Whatever just hand over the monster cores and you can be on your way”.

Little Soul was a bit displeased by the guard's obvious lack of trust in him. ”He should know that I have yet to break a single law in this world in all the time I've been alive which was not much but, it was better than most other people I bet”. He really wanted to tell the guard off but, he bit his tongue opened the bag and handed him the cores to not cause a problem for himself.

While rummaging through his bag the guard saw three other cores. He could tell what two of them were in an instant they were the most common two drowner cores small blue not worth much but the other one beside it was bigger and gave off a soft green light. ”An advanced apprentice-level core lucky you”.

Little soul heard what he said and was shocked but not surprised since he well the Denizen of this world ” you know what this Crystal is just by looking at it?”

”Obviously I can't tell what kind of creature you took it form without an appraiser but, from the glow, I can tell you took it from an advanced Apprentice level creature. which is an achievement all on its own for someone like you. Don't know it's real value but you should get at least 50 magic crystals at the Eclipse association trade center”.

”50 magic crystals” little soul had no idea if that was a lot or not. Since he didn't know this world's currency.

”Ya, or you could trade it to someone who is desperate for this kind of crystal in your possession but the only types of people interested in the low-grade Crystal you have will be Magi apprentices and everyone knows how broke they are.

”Magi apprentice what the hell is a magi?” Little soul commented to himself. ”Thank you but, I must be on my way”.

”Alright you can pass through the seekers' gate now”

Seekers gate what a strange name but that's when a memory surfaced from the depths of little soul's conscience. Which frightened him to no end when he realized what he had to pass through.
