4 Deal (2/2)

The city wasn't very big so they arrived quickly to the station, but on the way Dorian had the time to think about a few things.

First, his clothes. He hadn't noticed it until now but his clothes had changed to match the era he was in. But his bag hadn't, which resulted in the thugs calling it strange. It meant that in the future he would have to be careful about what he revealed to others in the world.

Secondly, Dorian believed that this encounter with the thugs wasn't a coincidence, but something arranged by the Dreamland. No matter how the situation was solved, he would end with enmity with the gang.

Had he handed over his sword and bag, the police would have arrived and arrested them, and they would have blamed him for some reason.

Had he decided to fight, but if he was unable to deal with them, then the result would be the same, except that he could have kept his stuff.

So this encounter was probably a test of sort. Fail it, and he would have lost his belongings, and maybe his life if he wasn't careful. Succeed by surviving, then he would get to keep his stuff and would be asked the deal.

But for him who had succeeded perfectly, by killing all of them, he needed another reward. This reward was the loot. The book he had picked up was most certainly a skill or an ability, that would only be rewarded to those who could kill the group, or at least the chief.

So in the end, the probability to die was minor, only the results would change. Though, Dorian was curious about what would have happened if he didn't bought anything in the shop and arrived empty handed.

Lastly, Dorian had some time to think about the world he was in. This obviously wasn't some normal middle aged world, there were some elements that didn't belong here. For example, the police. It should have been the army owning the city.

Also, the city he was in was in the middle of a fight, between the Red Scorpion Gang and the police. His mission may be to survive, what he had to survive against was the gang, so the conflict was closely related to him.

So it didn't take long for Dorian to understand what the captain's deal would be. This conflict was the most obvious way to hand out side quests.

Finally, as they made their way to the station, apart from scheming Dorian also checked on something he was curious about: the legendary observe skill. And after some tries Dorian actually succeeded in using this 'skill' on his sword. It had displayed everything about the sword.

Then, he tried to observe the different on the thug he was carrying. Unfortunately, none of the equipments on him could be observed, meaning they had no special attribute.

The only thing he was able to observe was the sword, and the only thing he learned was that this was called a chipped sword. But it had no stats.

When Dorian arrived at the station, he was finally able to drop the dead guy on his shoulder. He may have benefited from his new attributes, carrying a dead body was still exhausting, moreover he had just gotten out of a fight.

At the station, Dorian followed Charles to his office. The fact he had one showed the importance Charles had as there were only three offices in the whole station. Actually the rest of the station was more of a temporary prison than a working place.

As Dorian expected, once alone Charles said to Dorian ”The deal is simple. You look like you know how to defend yourself, and you already have enmity with the Red Scorpion Gang. If you join us as an officer, then you will be admitted in the dorms. In exchange, you have to help us keep this city under the law.”

Dorian and Charles looked at each other, before Charles asked with a smile ”Are you in?”
