Chapter 13 Forgotten problems. (2/2)

He crossed his ar back to his family days He wondered if they even re here He didn't think that his siblings would care ue back in the day He was glad that they all left after attaining their classes and only came back sporadically to the mansion

'What was his plan anyway well, I should probably gethere'

He didn't leave anything inside of the log cabin as he had carried everything over to the inn within the first couple of days of hi He entered the wooden house, the wooden door creaked open

'I'rabbed a rusted shovel, it was in the same place that he had left it This place looked abandoned, didn't look like even bandits would ransack it There were just old rusty pots and pans left here, the dust had piled up and made Roland think that no one besides hilanced at the cabin one last tiet to his hiding place It didn't take hi to find the tree he hid it next too

'Doesn't look like anyone did any digging, I guess it was the right thing to do'

He hesitated about taking the class change stone sooner, they were quite costly at two sold coins a pop This was the price of more than a monthly income of a whole commoner household Most people were only able to earn one sh-level adventurer, aprice to pay

'I'm lucky that I swiped it, I wouldn't be able to class up this soon otherwise I have barely half of that saved up'

Roland s up the blue quartz looking crystal that was used for changing your class He held it for ait into his pocket He was done here, he placed the rusty shovel over his shoulder while intending to bring it back before heading out

He strolled through the forest and kind of underestiot stuck on some of the trees and he ca that saved his life The sa in front of his face and e itself into the nearby tree He looked at the ite knife, it was still wiggling back and forth on the tree trunk

"What the?"

He quickly became alert and ducked behind another tree He could hear so in the distance, so to hurt hi the shovel away to the side, he had corasped his short sword but didn't pull it out frooblin? I don't re up on people like this'

It wasn't strange for goblins to use throeapons, the strange part was that there was no high pitched screae in right afterward and not hide, it ht even be some kind of evolved variant

'I should probably escape, don't knohat I' with'

He looked up to the trees, he deliberated cliood tactic for waiting in hiding but not really if you wanted to escape He dropped down and started slowly sneaking away, his basic sneaking skill had leveled up so he was now much harder to spot

His steps shuffled around without o back the sa froht have been followed here

'I need to get back into the city, aw shi+t'

While thinking he stepped onto a s sound Thebehind hi towards his position

'fuck it!'

He stood up and started running with all his ht His smaller stature allowed hihtly panicked state, he was getting scratched up He couldn't see his opponent but by the sound of his or her steps, he could tell that it was soer than he was

'Who is it? Is it really a bandit or a robber?'

He wanted to look back and see but he orried that if he did that the person would catch up to hi towards the main road He wasn't that far away froh this bandit would abandon his robbery atte but he could tell that the person behind hi skill and running past the basic ones the person behind hiaze on his neck, he dodged to the side as another throwing knife flew past hied to cut open his leather arhtly

Roland tumbled to the side, his opponent was finally revealed The ht or close to six feet tall He earing the usual black hood to cover his face, in one hand he had another throwing knife To the side he had so thin-bladed weapon, on further examination, it turned out to be a heavy rapier

"What do you want, I don't have any money!"

Roland left h to stash it there He was only carrying so crystal

'Did he seeit up and noants the crystal? How did he know that I was even here?'

Theup, his hand still gripping the throwing knife while ready to throw it

"Who said I wanted your money, like a little bastard son like you even has anything I want!"

Roland became confused, if this wasn't a robbery then as it Then he realized soe about how the man referred to him

"bastard son? Wait did the Baron send you? Why would he want to killaway and keeping to the trees, luckily those et hit by those knives

"Heh, I guess you aren't that duh of staying in this forsaken town!"

The man finally removed his hood and revealed his face, this was someone that Roland was fa here for half a year he had forgotten It was thetabs on hi to kill him
