TBE Chapter 44

  TBE Chapter 44

  Ezekiel and his two brothers Robert and Luke hurried home after eating their lunch in the village green. He didn’t say anything yet to the two kids about his decision to leave the village. He would tell them once they reached home.

  When they reached the Galder’s Tower houses that Ezekiel conjured as their home, he immediately watered and fed Prince Charming and cleaned the donkey and the cart using his Prestidigitation spell. After that, he put Prince Charming in the house that served as its stable. The boys were busy playing when Ezekiel checked on them so he headed directly to the store cum workshop.

  When he arrived there, he didn’t enter. He planned to dispel the store but he knew that his lack of space in his 4th space tab would be an issue so he paid 1 gold coin to increase his inventory to 6 cubic meters and his pick-up range for the items that he could store in his inventory. Looking at the items inside his 4th space tab, Ezekiel knew that the space still wasn’t enough for the items that he wanted to keep like the shelves and tables that he recently purchased so he decided to just get rid of them using the garbage bin icon located in his system shopping site. It was such a waste of coins though since his system didn’t provide any sort of compensation for anything he wanted to get rid of using that part of the site.

  Ezekiel went inside the workshop and stored all of his tools, all of the wooden handicrafts that he recently purchased, and most of the wood that he already cut and smoothed using his hand saw and wood planer hand tools to his 4th space tab.

  The rest he resolutely got rid of using the garbage bin icon. He confirmed the fact that he could only use the garbage bin icon on items that he purchased from the system shopping site since it wouldn’t accept some of the wood that he cut and smoothened using his hand saw and hand wood planer so he temporarily stored everything in his 4th space tab.

  Ezekiel then went outside and dispelled the store cum workshop Galder’s Tower. It briefly saddened him though since he thought that he would use the tower for at least several more months. He kept the huge storage chest that he was planning to use to store the wood that he already smoothed.

  When he saw that there weren’t any more traces of the tower, he returned home and called his brothers and told them that Ezekiel needed to talk to them so they all went inside the dining room house.

  “What’s wrong brother?” Robert asked.

  “We need to leave the village. I used magic to heal Mr. Duvon and he sold me out to a noble. That meant that there was a chance that a higher-up might target us so we needed to escape.”

  Robert and Luke suddenly looked very worried and Luke even started to cry.

  “Will they take you away?” Robert asked, trying so hard to prevent himself from crying.

  “No, since I promised you that we’ll stay together forever so that’s why we need to leave. I checked the map inside the geography book that Mr. Duvon lent me and the noble that wanted the healing elixir is located in Penderton City which is to the west of our village. I planned for us to go to the capital city of the country of Delantan, which is named Lonmere, located to the east of the village but we might have to travel further than that so go ahead and prepare yourselves. We’re leaving now.”

  Robert and Luke stopped crying and Ezekiel was impressed with them since they suddenly looked resolute. They all went to the bedroom to get their things. Robert and Luke took their backpacks from there while Ezekiel packed their clothes. After that, he dispelled the bedroom Galder’s Tower.

  Ezekiel saw that his brothers became sad when they saw the bedroom disappear but soon they both looked away and focused on Ezekiel. He then went to the kitchen and stored the kitchen utensils and dishes that he kept there in his 4th space tab including the stove that he purchased before and after he exited the kitchen, dispelled it.

  He then went to the stable and took Prince Charming from there. He then dispelled the donkey’s stable. Ezekiel hitched Prince Charming onto the cart and he placed some of the things in his 4th tab space there like the huge chest that he kept. Inside the chest, he placed the kitchen utensils and dishes, their clothes, all of the small wooden handicrafts that he purchased from the system shopping site, and all of his woodcraft tools.

  Ezekiel was glad that the storage chest that he bought was huge. He then placed all of the smoothen wood beside the chest. Robert and Luke placed their backpacks beside the chest.

  After that, the three boys went to the washroom, took a bath then changed their clothes to the new ones that were supposed to be used for the boys' schooling. He briefly thought of the 2 gold coins he spent to enroll the boys in the school then he resolutely forgot about those.

  Ezekiel had to spend 10 copper coins to purchase a set of clothes for himself that matched the boys’ clothes. He then transferred all the toiletries and towels that he purchased inside the huge chest as well that was in the cart. Then Ezekiel dispelled the washroom. His total remaining funds were 7 Gold 36 Silver and 90 plus Copper Coins.

  The three boys then checked the area to make sure there were no traces left of their stay there and when they saw that the area was clean, they climbed Prince Charming’s cart and started their journey to the East.

  “We are now starting our adventure together! It will be a magical and comfortable journey since we have food and shelter along the way because of my magic!” Ezekiel excitedly told his brothers and he wasn’t lying. Their journey would be comfortable. He would make sure of that.

  Yuki Onna then landed in the cart briefly and then flew up again. The familiar would be their scout ahead and would keep itself hidden among the trees.

  Now all three of them looked excited and there were smiles on their faces. At first, Ezekiel was sad that the boys didn’t have any friends but now it was an advantage since they truly didn’t have any attachment to the village which confirmed his decision that there was nothing for them in the Eagle Village. Normally, after living in a place for several years, a person would become attached and it would be difficult for him or her to leave but the fact that the only attachment they had was the memories of their parents which were sadly diminishing as the days pass due to their young age meant that the village truly meant nothing to them.

  While they were traveling, Luke asked him to wake up their wooden block “Friends” so he cast Tiny Servants on the wooden blocks. Robert and Luke then entertained themselves during the next few hours playing with the Tiny Servants wooden blocks.

  Ezekiel didn’t know how long they would need to spend on the road before they reached their initial destination but he prepared himself to face the truth that it would be a long journey. He would also try his best to make sure that his brothers would be aware that it would be a long journey as well. They kept on traveling without stopping since he wanted to get as far away from the Eagle Village before anyone noticed that they were gone.

  At around five in the afternoon, Ezekiel gave his brothers some of the leftover cookies that he bought before but since they remained in his 4th space tab they remained as fresh as the day he purchased them. He also provided both boys cold water that he spelled with Prestidigitation to taste like fruit juice.

  He was relieved that Robert and Luke seemed to enjoy the travel. They were not pestering him with questions like when were they supposed to stop or how long till they reached their destination. They entertained themselves with the Tiny Servants that were cast on the wooden blocks and with their other toys. Ezekiel then realized that just like him, Robert and Luke considered where the three of them were as their home be it in the forest or on the road. Ever since their parents died, their home wasn’t a place. Their home was where their family was. That brought home the fact that his decision to leave the village even though he initially thought that they were still too young, was correct. How could they stay somewhere that they would never treat as their home?

  During the travel, the scenery was beautiful since it was still in the height of summer and though it was initially hot during the afternoon, once the sun went down, the temperature became comfortable and their travel became enjoyable. The forest to the north of them was vibrant with different shades of emerald and they could hear signs of life that were rampant during the summer. To the south of them, the mountains in the distance were truly beautiful to look at like the ones that could be found on the cover of travel magazines.

  Ezekiel wanted to leave and get far as soon as they could but he wasn’t rushing the actual journey. They were traveling slowly enough since he didn’t want his brothers and Prince Charming to get exhausted.
