29 Errand (2/2)

She saw him nod and say: ”It is. But it won't do you good knowing what it is yet. Just give it to Old Lee and pass my message to him. He'll know what to do.”

Luna nodded and kept the bandage on her spatial ring, she saw Raven move back to the Inn and followed him, with that the group decided to hang out and discuss random things about their trip.

***

Midnight of the same day.

Old Lee could be seen walking outside of the inn with a deadpan expression and his hands behind him. It looked like he was walking on his yard but in truth, every step of his took him to mind boggling distances. It only took him a couple of steps before he was already standing at the at the general location of the Heroic Museum.

His eyes moved quickly and with that, he vanished once more. Just that glance allowed him to basically know that defensive perimeters of the entire museum in his mind along with the patrol route of the guards and their superiors.

It looked his he just skipped but he was already inside of the museum, practically in front of the Sunlight Sword. His expression became a bit strict as he hesitated.

'What the hell am I doing?' He shook his head in frustration.

Like Raven told Luna, she gave him the bandages and relayed his message to Old Lee. The old man was highly skeptical and tried to get more details but Luna was also helpless as he didn't give much either.

'Come to think of it, that kid was so strange. Way too intelligent, way too strong and way too mysterious for his age. Just who was he anyway?'

He felt like tugging his remaining hairs out from confusion. He was torn between trusting Raven and killing him to stop this madness.

He seriously felt like all of the mysterious things revolve around him. He has this knowledge that even someone like him doesn't know, he could create strange yet highly effective things that none had seen before and don't even mention his strength, which was far too strong for a kid in his age.

He had seen him multiple times, he basically stalked his young mistress and her friends whenever they go to his place. He was shocked to see the way they trained themselves.

The method he used wasn't all that crazy, in fact it was simple. So simple yet highly effective. Using constant combat to drill the basics into their body, even going as far as etching the basics at an instinctual level. Old Lee saw those moving dummies who he cursed multiple times because it hurts his young mistress. He saw that weird chamber that shot projectiles of air. And what probably the most interesting creation that he saw, the one that Raven personally uses everytime. Those wooden poles and the automated firing crossbows.

It would be a total lie if he said he wasn't interested on those creations, as he had personally witness their capabilities, heck Raven even gave him one which ease his work load by a lot. And that says many things.

'Whatever, it's not like the kid would set me up or something, even if he did, it's totally reasonable since I the one who doubted his good intentions at the beginning anyway.'

Thinking like this, Old Lee set up an enchantment around him which seemingly blurred his location. The enchantment created an illusion and also suppressed any sort of commotion that might happen while he's here. Can't have those guards hot in his trails while doing a stealthy errand. After making sure that the enchantment had been successfully made without any leaks. He produced the bandages from his spatial ring.

He immediately thanked the gods for making him such a paranoid, because as soon as the bandages were out, the Sunlight Sword automatically flared with an intense aura.

He watched as the Sunlight Sword hovered in front of him, completely disregarding all of the 'protection from thieves' mechanism that the staff members created for it. Unlike last time, the aura it radiates wasn't heavy and malicious, instead it felt like it was singing with joy and excitement, he could only describe it as 'a person meeting an old friend after a long time of separation'.

Without his consent, the bandage floated off from his hands and glowed with a brilliant light. It wrapped itself to the sword under Old Lee's dumbfounded gaze and the bandage transformed into a scabbard.

With a 'click', the sword hummed a joyful tune and went back to it's location along with the scabbard. Old Lee's brain malfunction for a while and could only ask 'How?' In his mind, knowing full well that only a certain someone could explain it to him.

He smiled wryly and sighed. After making an effort to erase his tracks, he deactivated the enchantment and disappeared in silence.
