Chapter 2 No decent people in Primal Wildfire Town (Part 2) (2/2)
“Unless …..You let me inspect your clothes in order to search for anything hidden.”
Shaar Thunder gave off a very honest look.
“……Alright!” Tatara’s face reddened from anger and he felt that he got enormously insulted! Even during this moment, he had not forgotten the stone hanging on Shaar Thunder’s neck.
This had to be a joke! Me, a prestigious magician was compared to trickster by this stupid kid?!
His status as a magician was the only thing remained that Tatara was proud of!
He outrageously took off his fur lined robe and threw it in front of Shaar Thunder: “You go and have a look inside and see if there is something hidden! Humpf!”
Shaar Thunder received the robe and immediately searched it carefully. He inspected it unusually careful, from inside to the outside, from neckband to the sleeve cuff and even looked at the inside lining.
While inspecting, Shaar Thunder casually mentioned: “Oh, your robe must have cost a lot of money.”
“Of course! This was bought from a tailor shop in Royal Capital and is worth six silver coins! This is real high quality bearskin! Only this kind of clothes can match a magician’s prestigious status!” Tatara replied annoyed – actually he was lying. The bearskin was real bearskin and it was indeed bought in a Royal Capital tailor shop, but the price was not six silver coins, but only three.
While listening, Shaar Thunder maintained his composure, but his eyes hinted of a deeper meaning.
He raised his head and gave Tatara an innocent expression that looked like he could never harm any human nor animal: “I finished looking…yes…I have to admit that you are indeed not a sly swindler.”
“Of course!” Tatara put out his chest.
Shaar Thunder suddenly grinned and chuckled: “You are actually a stupid swindler.”
The second he stopped talking, Shaar Thunder scooped that expensive fur-lined robe, turned around and sprinted away!!
He ran extremely fast and in a blink of an eye, he vanished in a small alley on the roadside.
Tatara froze at the scene and was stupefied. His eyes widened and it took him some time until he suddenly roared: “Someone snatched my clothes!!”
When he ran into the alley and finally gave chase, he could not even see Shaar Thunder’s shadow.
Shaar Thunder was after all a native in Primal Wildfire Town. He walked on these streets for more than ten years and was familiar with the terrain. How could Tatara a non-native catch up against these odds?
In one breath, he crossed two blocks and after he determined that no one was chasing him, Shaar Thunder finally stopped. He stood under a big tree on the roadside, caught his breath while touching the fur lined robe made of high quality material in his hand.
“So lucky, just when I entered the town I ran into a stupid foreigner. No need to worry about today’s lunch anymore.”
Shaar Thunder’s face had a big happy smile. Holding the fur-lined coat he entered the shop closest to the roadside.
A little while later, the robe turned into several copper plates and he bought several meat pies from a shop on the roadside. These several meat pies were quickly ended up in Shaar Thunder’s stomach.
Patting his satisfied belly, Shaar Thunder gave off a pleasant sign.
Ah, what a pity. In Primal Wildfire Town, these kind of stupid foreigners from a moment ago were difficult to find.
“Now that I filled my stomach, time to find some work.” Shaar Thunder walked proudly towards the black market’s direction.
This was Shaar Thunder’s first encounter with Tatara.
If we used those magnificent poetic sentences of bards, this event could be described like:
“Once upon a day, some months, some years ago, the future Emperor Shaar met his first loyal future subject Lord Tatara. The great Emperor Shaar irradiated such a dominating aura of a ruler that Lord Tatara’s strong body started trembling and forced him to submit. Henceforth, he swore to follow Emperor Shaar till death do them part! The wheel of fate continued turning…”
Nonetheless, there was a gap between the truth of history and legend after all.
At this moment, our Tatara’s body was indeed trembling. Despite that, it actually had nothing to do with submission, but from……
Anger!!
“That Bastard boy, do not let me run into you again!!!”
Tatara face turned green and started to spit blood: “There are no decent people in Primal Wildfire Town!!”
