Chapter 117 - 116 – Beginning Of The Journey Towards The Village.

After my mom quickly got up, I ran upstairs to get my things. I didn't even get a chance to eat everything Sara had given me for breakfast, sorry about that.

Arriving in the bedroom, I looked over at the bed Lisandra was on and smiled bitterly. I said goodbye again in my mind.

After that, I left the bedroom carrying a large amount of heavy bags where all my clothes, shoes, and everything was stored.

When I arrived in the main hall, I found Sara who was waiting anxiously for me. She seems to have sensed that we were leaving. As I approached, Sara reached down and hugged me.

I returned her hug. Even though we're not family, I couldn't deny her embrace.

But to be honest, I consider Sara as a mother or maybe an older aunt, she is an amazing woman and very kind.

"I hope you show up here again someday. And don't worry, I'll take really good care of your sister." Sara said as she continued to hug me.

"I'll leave this job to you. Don't let that girl do anything stupid, and if she ends up doing something like that, get in touch with my mom or me through the guild, got it?" I said while smiling.

"Okay, I'll do it. Have a good trip." After saying that, Sara released me and then looked directly into my eyes, giving me a gentle smile.

I returned her smile and then walked towards the exit.

"Sara, I'm sure it won't take me long to get back to the capital, okay?" Or at least that's what I expected.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you. When you come again, stay here, understand?" Sara was saying this as if it were an order.

"Of course, I will." Saying that I left the inn and took a deep breath. My mom wasn't around anymore, she was probably already in the adventurers guild, so I started taking quick steps towards the guild.

'I'm going to miss her.' I stopped pacing and turned back to look at the inn. I'm honestly going to miss Sara. She was an amazing woman.

####

Arriving at the door of the inn, there was a carriage parked there.

It was a not very luxurious carriage, much like the carriage I had used the first time I came to the capital together with Lisandra. Even though it wasn't very pretty, it had a lot of space.

Inside the carriage was no one but the man who was driving it.

"You liked?" My mother asked as she approached the carriage, "I know it's not very pretty and a little old, but I think it will do." She was smiling satisfied.

"Don't you think it's a little rude to say that when I'm here?" At my mother's words, an old man approximately 170 cm tall appeared. He had just left the guild.

"Sorry." She was smiling. I could see she didn't care. And the man also seemed to have noticed as he just sighed as he approached his carriage.

"Who is he?" I approached my mother and asked as the man got into the carriage.

"He is a merchant who works in the capital, I asked Rose to find someone who could take us and he accepted this job. Of course, I had to pay a little more for that."

"Because the village is too far?"

"That's also it, but there weren't many traders willing to do that either. Only this guy accepted, but I also had to pay a little higher. I used your mission money, I guess you don't mind, do you?"

"I do not care." She was going to keep that money anyway.

"Okay, put your stuff in there. I'll get my stuff." She ran into the guild, so I grabbed my bags full of stuff and placed it in a corner inside the carriage.

There were two benches, one on each side of the carriage. I say benches, but it's just a wooden platform a little higher for us to sit on.

Unlike the more luxurious carriages that put cushions on their seats, this one was just uncomfortable.

And that's why my ass is always sore when traveling. I have always used simple carriages in my life.

"You must be Emma's son, nice to meet you." So I packed my things and sat down on the right side of the carriage, the merchant who was sitting across from me struck up a conversation.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Noah." I greeted politely.

"Seeing you acting that way even makes me doubt that you're that rude woman's son. I think the only thing similar is the appearance. You guys look a lot alike actually." The man was analyzing me.

"I see... But if possible, don't speak ill of my mother in front of me, understand?" I stared at the man intently. The merchant widened his eyes and looked a little scared, so our conversation was ended.

We continued quietly as we waited for my mother.

"Oh, and before I forget, my name is Garroy."

"…" I had looked at your Status before, so I knew.

And to tell you the truth even though he was an old man, and with completely white hair, he was quite competent. His strength was on a level a little higher than that of men his age.

Of course, there were strong old men like the guild master and the school principal, I'm just comparing him to ordinary people.

What also surprised me is that this man could use light magic, plus it was at level 4. I think I should have taken advantage to go to the church in the capital and learn light magic, but now it's too late.

####

After a while, my mom came back, but she wasn't alone.

Along with her were two middle-aged men. They were wearing leather armor with some metal plates for protection. They also had big swords on their backs.

Looking at their Status, I could see that they were both quite competent.

The first was a bald man with a serious face. He was about 180 cm tall and also had a lot of muscle. As soon as he entered the carriage, it swayed completely because of his weight.

Her status was.

[Status]

Name: Isumda

Level: 56

Race: Human

Age: 37

Strength: 468

Agility: 359

Magic: 589

Skills

Water Magic - Level 4

Wind Magic - Level 2

Swordsman – Level 6

[ End ]

He was very strong, his strength was almost equal to my father's. But even though his strength was not like my father's, his agility was superior. Furthermore, he had the Swordsman skill at an acceptable level.

His magic would also help a lot in a battle.

Now the other man who entered the carriage was named Songe. He wasn't as muscular as Isumda, but he had a similar Status to his. The only difference was that his Swordsman skill level was at level 5.

And also his most powerful magic was earth magic. He only had earth magic at his disposal.

He was a handsome man. He had a little long black hair that hung to his shoulders, and he also had eyes like an eagle, he seemed to be concentrating all the time.

After we introduced ourselves, everyone was already inside the carriage.

I was sitting on the right side along with my mom and Songe. And on the left side were the merchant named Garroy and the adventurer Isumda.

Once everyone was inside and ready, the carriage began to move. But of course, before we left Rose appeared in the carriage and I said goodbye to her. She looked quite sad about my departure.

But I also promised her that I would come back here as soon as possible. Hearing this, she seemed satisfied.

And after waving to her, the carriage left. And now we were at a considerable distance from the guild.

####

The carriage left the capital without much trouble, and now we were far enough away for the capital to disappear from our sight. It had been about 2 hours since we left the capital.

I remained silent the entire time as I listened to the conversation between the two adventurers and the merchant. My mother remained silent like me, she looked thoughtful.

"Mom, what do you think Dad will say about this?" My father is calmer than my mother, but even so, I was a little worried about it.

"Your father? Well, I guess he won't say anything." My mother turned her attention to me.

"I understand. I don't think he would have the courage to go against his choice to take me back to the village either."

"I think so, hahaha." My mom started laughing nonstop about that, I think she also understands how much my dad respected her.

"But now about Lari, I'm looking forward to seeing her after so long." It had been a while since I even talked to her, I should have sent a letter, shouldn't I?

"I think she's looking forward to seeing you. You know how that girl likes you, don't you? I would even say she is in love with you."

"Don't say weird things...."
