5 Secret Ques (1/2)

As the three of them started walking through the street, Ryth saw how the village was bursting with vitality. There were people who are pushing their carts along the streets and there were people who are reaping their grains. There were also little kids playing with each other, running around with a smile on their faces.

Up in the sky, the sun shone brightly as the wind made a slight relaxing atmosphere. These made the moods of the people who felt it, better. This perfect morning help motivates people to do their best and become more energetic.

After some time walking, Hill asked, ”My lord, this is not the way to the dungeon. We actually walked too deep into the center of the village where we should have turned left earlier, not right.”

Ryth lightly smiled and replied. ”No, we are actually on the right track. We won't head to the dungeon right away because we will need to stop at a certain place.”

”Where are we headed to, my lord?” asked Llyod curiously.

”I told you guys already, didn't I? stop calling me 'My lord', call me 'Myth' instead. We need to avoid any suspicion.” answered Ryth.

”O-okay, Myt... lord.” Llyod replied awkwardly.

Hill rolled his eyes at Llyod and said. ”Don't worry my lo... Myth. I will make sure he do what you just told us to do.”

Llyod Rebuked. ”Heh, even you nearly said i-” before he could finish his sentence, Hill nudged Llyod with his elbow. ”Focus.” Hill said. Llyod didn't say anything and shrugged his shoulder and sighed. ”Okay...”

Ryth shooked his head and smiled. ”We are going to meet a certain person first.”

Llyod and Hill got confused and after some time, Llyod asked. ”Who? We are supposed to not know anyone on this village...” then like a lightning struck him, he came to a realization, gave a light smile and continued, ”As expected of my lo- Myth! You have already gather the information that we needed! Haha!”

”Uhm, actually I just asked Mr. Roland yesterday whether there is a blacksmith or not in this village. And he said that there was a blacksmith, but now he's retired and become a stockbreeder. He broke his arm long ago so now we are going to meet him.” Replied Ryth with a smile.

Seeing Ryth brimming with confidence, the two of them decided to not ask anything and trust their lord's decision.

When they walked to the inner area of the village, many kids shouted.

”Hey, Look! They wear armors and carried a weapon on their backs! There is one guy who has a sword on his left waist!” exclaimed one of the kids.

”Oh, it's true! Are they adventurers?” said the other one.

”Although their armors looked worn, they are so cool! I want to become an adventurer when i grow up!”

After they received some equipments from Mr. Roland, they are now fully equiped with armors and each of them carried a weapon. Ryth wore a dark blue leather armor and carried a sword on his left side. Llyod, on the other hand, carried a great big sword on his back, wearing a leather armor too. Although he prefers to wear plate armors, but Mr. Roland doesn't own one. So he only could wear the leather armor. Hill, of course, being the archer have chosen a magnificent big bow for his choice of weapon. He carried many arrows on his back as well. He wore a black leather hoodie and black leather trouser.

Ryth smiled and said. ”Haha, kids sure have full of energy.” Seeing kids playing with smile on their faces reminds Ryth of his younger sister. Ryth smiled bitterly and shooked his head. He turned his head towards Llyod and Hill and said. ”We are almost there.”

Ryth stopped in the front of a big house. It was a humble house with gardens but it is quite huge. There were sounds of chickens that could be heard from behind the house. Just as Ryth was about to knock on the door, a big man had already opened the door and greeted them.

”Hello, I'm the owner of this house. Are you guys here to buy some eggs or chickens?” the man smiled as he asked the three of them.

Ryth's right eye lit up. ”Ruddy! Yeah, This is great!” Ryth said to himself. ”With him here, i could obtain new equipments any time I want as long as I could heal his arm!” thought Ryth. Ruddy looked like he is in his early fifthies, with brown short hair and brown beard. With slightly sharp eyes, thick eyebrows and brown skin, you can see how much intelligence he had from his years of experience in life. His body is huge with his height around 185 cm. Even Lloyd had to slightly tilt his head to look up at Ruddy's face.

Ruddy is actually one of the NPCs in 'The Throne' that gives players a secret quest. The quest cannot be triggered if the players didn't come to his house and saw the smithing inside. After they saw the smithing inside, they could ask why Mr. Ruddy stopped being a blacksmith and he would give the player a quest to obtain something to cure his arm. In return, Mr. Ruddy will make weapons and armors for the players for free. As long as they had the materials needed, he would make anything for them. Even Ryth found this secret quest by coincidence.

Although he's excited but he tried his best to remain calm and then said. ”Good morning, Mr. Ruddy. I'm Myth, and this is Llyod and Hill. We are actually not here to buy chickens but rather we are here to discuss some other matter with you.”
