37 The Guildhall (1/2)
”How much further do we have to walk?” I mutter, it felt like we'd been walking for an eternity. Onward and onward, but we never managed to find the end of this forest.
”We should almost be at the end of the forest,” Ekon says leading the way.
The sky was already starting to darken, it felt like it was slowly approaching night. Even though I wouldn't be opposed to being outside for another night, I'd had enough of having to keep awake to fend off the low tier monsters that wanted to raid our campsite.
They'd have trash skills to… I got nothing worthwhile from eating them.
Leaning back as I walk, I continue to look at the slowly darkening sky. It was simply beautiful, and I couldn't wait for this day to be over, it would be another day closer to my chance to step into the role of an adventurer.
It would soon be the day to get my class!
”We haven't talked about it recently, but what's everyone's level?” Silvyr asks, breaking the silence that we had.
”Cecily's level twenty!” Cecily says with a smile
”Twenty-Four,” Ekons says with a nod.
”Twenty-Seven,” Silvyr says and they all look towards me.
”Thirty,” I say softly.
”Gosh, still a monster even to this day, not many could claim to be such a high level at age eight,” Ekon says shaking his head.
”You're one to talk both you and Cecily are monsters in your own right,” I laugh softly.
These damn gods and goddesses had given me too much, I had the triple experience booster, which was already a cheat in its own right. Combined that with my level of work ethic and my friend's drive to keep up with me, and you had a leveling nightmare.
”That's true, most humans aren't able to keep up with other races in terms of level pacing,” Silvyr's says with a thoughtful look. His white eyes look at Cecily and Ekon like they're abnormal.
But I will say that they're both a bit abnormal. Even in all the books, I've read they're really haven't been any human children that have leveled up as fast as them. Could it be the fact that they've been with me and Silvyr?
Are we in some way pushing them forward faster than normal? It was surely a possibility…
”Cecily doesn't care if we're strange, as long as we can stay together it doesn't matter!” Cecily says firmly shooting a glare at the boys, she bounces forward and grabs my arm and hugs me close.
Her cute and soft hair tickling my arm and hand as she presses closer to me.
Ah, she was adorable!
”My lil sister is right, we don't really need to apply the normal logic to this situation,” Ekon laughs rubbing his head as he closes his eyes as he smiles.
He was a complete sis-con!
”Look we're at the entrance to the forest!” Silvyr says excitedly, as he runs ahead, and we all follow suit.
Soon the stifling forest is behind us and we're on a paved road, a little way ahead is the city. The road was a little crowded with people that are flowing towards the city walls.
All sorts of races and individuals from all professions are heading forward. As we made our way forward, I saw a lot of merchants and their convoys guarded by adventures, and then there are lone adventurers.
Outside of that, there are plenty of people that are walking forward with their families.
Out of the corner of my eye, I even saw an extravagant carriage being pulled by a beautiful beast. Completely surrounding the carriage are a multitude of guards bearing a sigil. The sigil had the elegant design of a tiger, holding a document and with it's other pawed hand a pen.
”Appraisal,” I mutter looking closely at the carriage and the sigil that they all are bearing. I don't remember my mother mentioning anything about someone important visiting us anytime soon.
Or maybe, I just hadn't been paying close enough attention, I'd been completely absorbed in sword training and other combat styles with my brothers. It's not as if my mother expected me to pay attention to all the dignitaries that we had over, either way, I was hardly around for that type of discussion.
