BXBX NOVEL Chapter 13 Freedom Town(II)
"Din don!"
The bird\'s cries resounded as they tore through the skies, thankfully it seemed the sky was especially predator free as they made their way toward the town.
"*cough* So how is the town? Anything interesting there?" Noticing the awkward silence Elric tried to lighten up the mood by making small talk however before anyone could react, a disdainful snort sounded from his side.
"Humph! humans don\'t think I don\'t know what you want to do, don\'t forget your prisoner status!" As you guessed, your friendly neighbourhood dog leg Clelut was the first to jump out.
Unfortunately, he was ignored making the already awkward trip worse as both sides had just been reminded of their hostile relationship
"Um, young master?"
"What is it Alvin?" while thinking about how to smooth the tension a small whisper came from right behind his ear
"Are you going to have the so-called warriors battle with them?"
Feeling his nervousness, Elric couldn\'t help but think back to Alvin\'s timid appearance when he first saw the birds. Luckily, he was around and offered to ride together with him.
Shaking away all unnecessary thoughts he faced him with a big smile he slowly said two words, "Trust me"
Seeing the look of confidence on his face Alvin suddenly felt a burst of confidence swell from within him
"Got it young master, I trust you." Little did he know his young master was not as calm as he seemed.
"A.I. are you sure I can win the fight?"
[Report to host chance of success is over 70%]
"Then what about the remaining 30%?"
[Remaining 30 per-]
However, before the chip could finish speaking Elric interrupted it.
"Never mind I don\'t want to hear it anymore" realising there was no point in scaring himself he immediately focused on the trip at hand.
And so, with silence on both sides, the awkward journey continued, thankfully the speed of the Din Don birds was relatively fast allowing them to reach their destination quickly.
"Everyone hold on tight, we\'re going to land!" with a loud shout from Slohet the Din don birds immediately began to dive toward the ground
"Din don!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Young master, hold me!"
"waaaaaa!"
As the dive began, the whole group burst into a loud shout, even both goblin chiefs were at it.
"ha-ha faster I Zriork of the green skin tribe fear no height!"
"ha-ha faster I Slohet of the redskin tribe fear no height!"
From a closer look, they seemed to have formed some sort of competition with two of them taking the lead on the dive.
However just as they were about to crash the Din don birds seemed to have hit invisible breaks just barely stopping before impact.
"Hahaha, it seems that I the great Slohet have conquered the green skin tribe in more ways than one!"
"What are you talking about It is obvious I the great Zriork that won!"
"I won!"
"No, I won!"
"No, I won!"
Looking at each other it was obvious neither of them was sure of the winner of their competition.
At this point, the rest of the crowd had already landed
"What!"
"Why did we land for no reason?"
"Obviously because we\'re here!" ignoring the ongoing chaos George was the first to speak up, turning everyone\'s attention to the bush behind him.
"The town is a bush?" a low tribesman voice came from behind
"No idiot, it\'s obviously behind the bush" with that said George immediately separated the bush revealing a huge city wall in the distance.
Although quite a distance from the town, the figures of three huge statues could still be made out, obviously these represented the gods in charge of the town.
Without waiting for the crowd\'s reaction, Alvin immediately ran toward the town after reaching the ground.
"Young master let\'s go!"
"Alvin waits for us!"
"Hold up!"
And as if on cue, the rest of the crowd joined as well.
Even the goblins began to head toward the town.
"What a bunch of bumpkins\' \' with a cold snort Clelut and the rest of the goblins left leaving only Zriork, Elric, and Slohet.
"Shall we head toward town?" Elric spoke up, obviously trying to divert their attention from the earlier argument.
"Humph! this seat has decided not to argue with you"
"No, you can\'t because I decided not to argue with you first!"
*Cough cough* Thankfully Eric\'s \'unintentional\' cough stopped the argument before it could begin.
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
With that said the three immediately headed for the Town.
Upon reaching the entrance of the town the first thing that came to sight were the guards on each side of the entrance with a strange animal-like insignia inscribed on their armors.
"Halt! Who goes there!"
At this moment Alvin and the others seemed to be already stopped by the guards.
"All those who want to enter freedom town must be searched by the knights of freedom!"
Hearing such a chuunibyou name being said out loud by a person Elric couldn\'t help but give the knight a second look.
He had the typical blond hair and blue eyes that most humans in this world seemed to possess, and a slight beard that made him look like he was in his early thirties.
"Kevin let us pass it\'s me"
Turning our heads everyone realized it was the goblin shaman who spoke up.
"Young master I didn\'t know you were here!"
Upon seeing the shaman both guards immediately gave a deep bow.
"Young master?!"
A wave of shock swept through both goblins and humans alike, it was like a certain "I am your father" moment back on the blue star.
Ignoring the crowd\'s shock Kevin continued
"According to the orders of lady Aoma when next you arrive, we should escort you to a place to stay and treat you like we see her"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless weird and curious gazes locked on the shaman.
"It seems the shaman and that orc lady he told us about have something going on"
"Indeed!"
The sounds of Davis and George\'s not so quiet whisper sounded in the background.
"*cough cough* never mind that let\'s get going" giving both a glare with a flushed face, the shaman immediately went through the town gates.
"Wait young master, let us show you the way!" The two guards immediately chased after him leaving everyone stunned.
"Davis, what just happened?"
"I\'m not sure George"
Thankfully Elric was quick to react "What are you guys waiting for, go after them!"
"Yes, young master!"
"Yes, young master!"
And so, with that Elric and the rest successfully Entered the town allowing him to take his first steps to conquer this fantasy world.
