22 The Master (1/2)
Burglar quickly gives Logan's mother a potion to drink. Logan, Goblin Slayer, Lara, and Cow Girl all still in the forest as the moon shone over their bodies. Their shadows were seen by the wild spread of fire in the distance of was once their village.
”What is that!? ” Asked Logan with defiance of the old man's actions. He thought he was going to poison of his mother, so he quickly pulled out his father's combat dagger and pointed it at Burglar's neck.
”You want her to live or not? By the way, your sword strike and stance is quite impressive for a youngling. Who taught you that battle stance? It is very advanced for your age.” Burglar said with his eyes wide and mouth open. He only acknowledged the strongest of warriors and legends.
”I taught myself, now what are you giving her?” Logan gripped his dagger and gives Burglar a cold deadly stare.
”I am giving her a healing potion that is made with holy magic and some ancient herbs. This should stop the swelling and the infection of the wound from spreading. She is lucky that the blade pierced at the edge of her sternum or she would have been dead. Her heart would have been impaled,” Burglar puts a hot towel over Sasha's head. Her face was extremely red and she was sweating profusely as she laid against a giant oak tree. She was hanging on for dear life.
”Now since I have helped your mother I think a repayment is in order. You said you would do anything?” Burglar said as he sips some hard liquor from a brown pouch.
”Haven't we been through enough?” Said Lara with a snarl as she crosses her arms.
”I want all three of you to work for me. In return, I will train you three to become greater killers. I can already see it in your eyes, how much you despise the goblins who took everything from you. I must warn you that I won't go easy on you if you chose to train with me,” Burglar wipes beer from his mouth. All of the children were now far away from the village, about 1 mile away, they have traveled about15 minutes. Logan and Goblin Slayer had carried their mother on the way out of their village. They left traps behind so that the goblins won't follow them.
They all had successfully escaped from the goblin horde.
”What work are you exactly talking about?” Logan asked with eyebrows furrowed. As his stats begin to alert him inside his mind.

Logan put away his stats by quickly blinking his eyes. Now was not the time to bask in his achievements. Not after the slaughter that happened in his village. He vowed to get revenge by killing every single goblin in this world.
