Chapter 6
Lugh was about to kill Lisa in order to get rid of the eyewitness
suddenly he stopped his blade just when it was going to come in contact with Lisa's neck
"This is odd?, I'm sure I used hypnosis magic on you
but for some reason you are still half conscious, which shouldn't be possible"
Lugh said with an intrigued expression
Lugh's thoughts
"The spell I casted directly effected her brain through her eyes, but somehow her brain was able to resist my spell
then again her eyes have been damaged because they were directly exposed to my mana
she will not be able to see ever again
But thats not the issue, just how was she able to resist my mana, its not possible.....
wait her mana !!
She is able to use mana because I gave her my mana so the mana properties should be mine only
but she also has her original mana properties from before she became a slave
she is slowly making my mana her own
....
It did struck me as odd how she was surrounded by mana the first time I met her
Seems like when her source was broken the mana released from it didn't dispersed in the atmosphere
neither it was absorbed by the church via magic crystal
since she had little to no mana the church must've decided to not waste any crystals on her
Interesting her mana seems to have attractive properties
which didn't let the mana to disperse in the surrounding
Instead it created an force which attracted her mana towards her soul
Then does that mean....."
Lugh then sighed and picked up unconscious Lisa like a princess
And said
"Seem's like you are too useful "
Later that day
Lisa slowly started getting up in her room at the inn
She tried opening her eyes but there was sharp pain in her eyes, then she remembered
"Oh yeah , he did mention something about my vision being damaged
I won't be able to see ever again "
....
"FUNNY I still can't hate him
Even though I was only a tool of his"
Suddenly her eyes started to get warm
" the pain in my eyes went away? "
She tried opening her eyes, this time her eyes opened without pain
"H-ow?,"
To her surprise her vision had returned
"I dont know why you helped me
I don't know why you let me live
But I will not waste my time anymore,I'll get stronger, I'll catch up to you"
Lisa then got up from the bed
She noticed there were some items left on the table
On the table alongside some items there was a wand
Lisa picked up that wand and saw a note
The note said
VondGeirr
This magical scepter can enhance
spell efficiency drastically And this
scepter can be used as a Spear in
Close combat
"Wait, a magical sceptre that can be used as a Spear?, than that means
it's either a relic or a magical item!!!!!
Wow he seriously left me something this valuable so easily
As I thought my common sense is dying infront of lugh ??
He left me some more items, what could these items be
I am scared "
She looked at the items, and all the items turned out to be very valuable
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Lisa
"Just wow"
After sorting out the items, she got out of the inn and looked in the direction of the Sieg mountain
" I'm not surprised anymore "
The mountain was fine as if the incidents the night before didn't happen
She then made her way to the guild
Lancelot
"Oh, how have you been "
Lisa
"I'm fine"
Lancelot
"You are alone again?"
Lisa
"Actually me and lugh decided to go our separate ways "
Lancelot
"What!,wait is it something like a lovers quarrel "
Lisa (blushing)
"N-no what are you saying "
.
.
"So you are not in a party anymore
then would you like to join us"
Lisa looked in the direction of the unknown voice
There she saw a blonde man who had emerald eyes with a cherfull and handsome face
Lisa
"Join you ?, who even are you ??"
Unknown man
"Oh my where are my manners, my name is Oliver Hjol, and yes I want you to join us on our journey towards the east "
Lisa
"Why do u want me to join you when you know I'm a new adventurer"
Oliver
"Its because you are pretty??"
Lisa
"What??"
"We want you to join us because we need a mage, and you have amazing mana density and efficiency
And you are one of the few stonebreaker's in the history of the guild"
Lisa
"I see, but who Are you?"
Merlin
"Im sorry about that, I'm merlin a mage in Oliver's party"
Lisa
"OK merlin can I ask you about your business in the east"
Merlin
"We want to enroll in Einvalla academy located in the east"
Lisa
"Einvalla Academy "
Einvalla Academy :
Where sanctuary is a nepotism based educational facilty, where students are experimented on, in order to create holy knight's serving the church
Einvalla academy is completely based on a Meritocritic system where only how skilled and good you are in your field matters, those who graduate from the einvalla academy becomes the leading figures of the country,,but it completely depends on the student.
Lancelot
"Merlin didn't I tell you before to not recruit rookies "
Both the merlin and Lancelot got into an argument
Meanwhile Lisa was lost in her thoughts
"If I enroll in einvalla then I could have a chance at getting stronger"
Merlin
" ITS HER CHOICE IN THE END WHY ARE YOU BUTTING IN"
Lancelot
"ITS MY JOB TO TAKE CARE OF ADVENTURERS
Oliver in the middle was trying to calm the two down but failed
Then Lisa spoke
" Merlin I will join you"
Merlin
"NICE CHOICE"
Lancelot
"Oh noo!!!"
While all of this was happening in the guild, something else was going on in the kerma County
A man was running on the streets in a Hurry
The man stopped and said with a exhausted but relieved expression
"Seem's they were right about seing you"
The man said while huffing and breathing heavily
The man calmed down and said
"It has been a while hasn't it, Lugh"
Lugh
"It sure has Riley"
Riley
"If you are back then that means "
Lugh lifted up a bag
Riley (serious)
" you actually did it, I am so grateful that I want to get down on my knees to thank you, but it won't be enough...
Lugh follow me "
Lugh followed him to his mansion
Upon entering the mansion all the servants greeted Riley who is a son of the count, and this mansion was owned by the kerma County
Riley asked the butler
" where is my father "
Butler
"Master is in his office "
Both Riley and lugh went towards the office, riley knocked and entered
Riley
"Father si-lugh has arrived "
Lugh then enters and bows to show respect
Lugh
" I'm done with the mission "
Lugh dropped the bag he was holding to the ground
the bag opened revealing the severed head of zod
The count was very surprised
He said
"About a week ago I did get information that zod has left the sanctuary
But I didn't expect you to seize the opportunity so easily
You must have expected that zod will leave the sanctuary and responded very efficiently I am impressed"
Then the count turned to Riley
"Riley go call Sreya "
He immediately went to call her
After a while Riley returned and stood beside his father
Lugh who knew what was about to happen stood aside
After a moment door opened
"Father you called me "
Sreya the second daughter of the count kerma
a beauty with golden long hair and shiny sapphire eyes entered the office
Both the count and Riley bowed to her
Sreya who was surprised by this said
"Dad?, brother?? What are you two doing "
Count
"Sreya I am sorry I couldn't prevent what happened to you, ever since then I wanted to apologize to you but I couldn't even look in your eyes"
Count kicked the head which rolled infront of sreya
Sreya who was confused till now, was suddenly shocked after she saw zod's ripped of head
Count
"Sreya even though you have suffered because of my irresponsibility
I will make sure you're happy till I either die or you marry an amazing man
So please forgive this old man"
Count kerma was crying as he said this
Tears started falling from Sreya's eyes as she hugged both her father and and her brother who was also crying
Lugh was standing in the side and he had completely erased his presence
Lugh's thoughts
"He will protect her till the day she dies or till she marries ?
I wonder if that day will ever come.."
....
Merlin
"Let me briefly repeat the plan
It will take about 2 and half a week to reach einvalla academy
And we will be passing from a barony and two villages
We will first be passing from the barony of Kris joiners, we will reach his domain in half a day where we will need to refill our supplies since resources are limited here in sieg
Oh, and guys show that you have manners and introduce yourselves to Lisa our new recruit "
"Oh my I forgot, my name is Lynn and I'm a scout and a archer"
Lynn was the archer and scout of the party, she had a cheerful attitude
"I'm hugo hjol , and I'm the tank of this party"
Hugo hjol was the tank of the party, and he had a serious personality
Lisa
"Hjol??"
Merlin
"They might not look it but Oliver and hugo are brothers, even though he is childish but Oliver is the elder brother"
Lisa
"There is no way I could have guessed that"
Lynn
"I know right!"
Merlin
"OK, it's bedtime everyone go and rest, we have a early morning tommorow "
Aànd everyone went to bed, Lisa was quite excited for her first journey, so she couldn't sleep easily, but after a while she slept
....
Meanwhile in the kerma territory everyone had slept but Sreya was still awake so she was taking a walk in the mansions garden
After walking for a while she sat down near the fountain
She was looking at down at the grass while thinking about what happened in the morning
she had zone out and didn't notice that someone was approaching her
"Mrs you couldn't sleep as well?"
After she heard a voice, she finally snapped out of it and looked up to see tha man
Sreya
"Lugh? You haven't slept yet"
Lugh
"Yes, is it the same for you Mrs "
Sreya (smiling)
"Yea, I couldn't sleep "
"Lugh...."
Lugh
"Yes"
Sreya
"How did you and Riley met"
Lugh
"Mrs, I'm afraid I can't answer your question"
Sreya
"I see, if you cant answer my question, then atleast stop calling me Mrs, call me by my name "
Lugh
"How could I "
Sreya stood up and went close to lugh
Sreya (smiling )
"Its not like you are my servant or anything, and you are my brother's best friend"
She looked directly In lugh's eyes
Lugh gave in
"Fine Mrs- i mean Sreya"
Sreya
"Huuuh, oh my its ver-y late, we should go to be-d soon"
Lugh's thoughts
"Why did she got frustrated all of a sudden ??"
Lugh sighed
"Woman sure are complicated "
Lugh thought as he went to his room
....
The next day, it was dawn
Oliver's party had reached the joiners domain
They stood shocked in their places after the saw the barony
The whole joiners domain has been completely destroyed.
