19 Meeting Nathan Again (2/2)

”I think that would be for the best. Leo mentioned that Nathan was the one guarding that village, but being in the same household as Martin does not mean no problems will occur when we arrive.” mentioned Natalia as she started to put away her bowl.

”Nathan does not pose a threat to me. Right now he could probably defeat me in one on one combat, but he would not target us. Being from the same household means that if possible, fighting to the death internally could slowly shake our households position in the city.” Martin said as he stood up to stretch.

With no goblins appearing, Leo and the rest assumed that they were either preparing traps, or that they retreated into some sort of safer area away from them. Finally exiting the mountains, their destination was now in view.

Though, the fields were dark and only the light from the moon in the sky made the area visible to the naked eye, Leo couldn't help but gasp.

Now because he was in less of a rush and understood that he was much safer from when he awoke just a few days ago, he was now able to see the true beauty of the world in front of him.

The fields were extremely peaceful and not even small insects could be seen. Large blades of grass were dancing as the breeze past them. Some small animals were making soft noises as if they were making wonderful music.

”Cousin? What are you doing here with that kid?” Nathan asked as he saw the group approach the village.

”Actually uncle, his name is Leo and he has decided to not just join our city, but, we are now allies with him as well. Also, he saved my whole squad in the mountains from annihilation, so as far as I am concerned, he is a brother to me!” Martin announced as the squad made their way into the village.

”Is that so cousin? If that is the case, this is cause for celebration!” hearing that Leo helped his cousin survive annihilation, Nathan now had a reason to prove to the villagers that Leo was not someone with ill intentions.

Originally, Nathan felt that Leo was strong enough to make an impact on the overall strength of the village. Being pressured by the villagers, Nathan's plan was to send Leo off, so upon returning in success, that he could recruit him under him.

Hearing Nathan's peaceful and accepting response, Leo and the rest of the group felt relieved. It seemed as if they could stay within this village without any worries for the night.
