Chapter 16 Fiersvel City

Eating the beef with a fork, Zick looked at all the knights training around him.

Right now the carriage had come to a stop in a grass plain. Zick ate the beef beside the carriage sitting on a chair which was prepared by the knights.

The knights started training the moment the carriage came to a stop.

"Von tell the knights to start getting ready to leave"

Saying this, Zick went inside the carriage and sat looking out the window.

It was still in the middle of the day so the sun was right in the middle of the sky shining brightly upon the carriage.

Pulling the curtains, Zick closed the window beside him.

Not wasting his time he started training to increase his mana like always.

Now that he had the Melvix family plaque, he planned on ordering Butler Von to buy the best space ring in the Fiersvel city after reading there.

'Should I try buying drugs to increase my mana too?'

After thinking about it for a few seconds, he thought that wasn't a bad idea right at that moment.

Increasing mana with drugs comes with a major drawback.

It brings impurities to the mana.

If there's any impurities in the mana it is impossible to become a master swordsman. Only a person with the mana in their peak rank with no impurities can try becoming a master swordsman.

Zick knew of a way to remove impurities in the mana from the novel but the necessary items to do the process were hard to collect without money.

The hardest thing to collect in it is the holy water of the sun god temple.

Just a vial of it reaches till 100 million dels.

But right now Zick wasn't worried about money at all.

'using someone's else money really does make me feel good'

Having such thoughts made him look forward to when he will reach Fiersvel city.

After a few hours the carriage reached the Fiersvel, it was already noon when the carriage passed through the checkpoint.

"Young master Zick, we have reached the inn"

Hearing Butler Von's voice, Zick got out of the carriage.

"hmm...."

All the knight stood in front of him as if trying to protect him, Looking at all their vigilant expressions made him grow speechless.

maintaining his smile he ignored them all. He spoke to Butler Von.

"Come with me to my room"

"yes..."

Butler Von replied with an emotionless face like always.

Hearing Butler Von's answer, Zick looked towards the inn.

It looked more like a villa than an inn.

Fiersvel city is a large-scale commercial area, where a lot of merchants and mercenaries visit to make money.

This made Zick confident in finding all the drugs and items he needed here.

'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',

Sun god temple is the most famous temple all around the first continent.

The sun god's name is velveric, he is the one who blessed the protagonist in the novel.

He is also the reason why the protagonist's strength increased at a crazy rate.

The protagonist was blessed by the sun god the day he was born. In other words he was.....the chosen child!

A common thing in a lot of novels which Zick read.

'the novel didn't even mention the reason to why he was chosen'

Though, not all of the things about the protagonist were cliche, there were still some cliche situations like this.

The sun god's blessing is a kind of buff which increases the speed at which your strength grows by twice.

But the main feature of this blessing was that it would increase the blessed one's fire element aptitude to a terrifying degree.

When the protagonist had become a sword master, his aura was of the fire element. With the boost he got from the blessing, this brought his battle strength to the peak of the master swordsman rank while still being in the beginning of the master swordsman rank.

Almost all the cities have a sun god church in it, this made it easier for Zick to collect the holy water.

Entering the villa-like inn, he saw some servants bowing towards him nervously.

"we...."

"Just lead me to the room I will be staying at"

"....yes please follow me"

The name of the Melvix family is known throughout the continent for its battle strength and its cruelty.

In this world where there is no law to stop killing, the one in power can decide a person's life with a single thought.

If Zick wanted, he just had to say a word and the knight behind him would slaughter all the people in this villa.

'There is no way i will do something like that....if did it my reputation would hit a all time low in no time'

Having these thoughts, he followed the servant who was showing the way to his room.

Bringing him to his room, the servant spoke to him while stuttering.

"th-this i-is the best r-room we have in this inn!!"

The servant almost screamed while finishing his word.

Looking at the servants, Zick couldn't understand why they were so scared of him.

"Just go and do your work"

He dismissed the servant who started shaking from fear.

No matter how he saw it, there was something wrong with the situation.

"Von, has there been any bad rumour about me going around?"

"no....the reason all the servant of this inn are scared because of another incident that happened recently"

Butler Von could easily figure out what Zick wanted to know.

'incident...'

For some reason it gave him a bad feeling.

"What incident...?"

"Two months ago, the 2nd son of the Melvix family killed all the people of a inn for making his dress dirty"

Butler Von said with a plain voice not showing any emotion.

'',

'Is that bastard crazy?'

Zick almost said it out loud but stopped himself at the last moment.

Because of someone he never met before his reputation was also taking a hit with him. this made him annoyed in a long time.

"Where is he currently at?"

"He is in the academy city, as he is about to turn 15 year old he will have to start attending the academy soon"

"I see..."

The academy city is not located at any of the main ruling forces of the first continent as all the sons and daughters of the royalty and nobles have to attend the academy when they turn 15 year old.

All the three main ruling forces were still wary against each other even after making a oath.

In the first place making a academy was only possible after they made the oath 20 years ago.

The academy is in the middle of all the three main ruling forces geographically. It was made from the joint cooperation of all three of them.

The academy was made for the purpose of training anyone who has talent. Doing this would increase the battle strength of the continent exponentially.

Only the people who have talent in becoming either a knight or a mage can enter this academy. No matter who they are nobles or royalties, if they don't have talent they will be rejected from entering the academy.

An officer from the academy is dispatched to all the cities and villages from the academy to see if there are any talented people.

The protagonist of the novel 'the hero of velveric fights the demon lord' is a commoner from the Mhydrasvil empire.

'I heard that the 2nd son was talented so he must have entered the academy easily'

Walking towards the writing table in the room Zick took a paper from above it and started writing all the things he needed.

After 5 minutes.

'hmm....that's should do'

After writing all the things he will be needing, Zick handed the paper over to Butler Von.

Reading the content of the paper Butler Von was internally first surprised. But when he continued reading it, his face became solemn.

"young master, this....."

Without answering to him, Zick threw the plaque of the Melvix family to him.

"Bring all the things listed in that paper within 4 hours"

".....yes"

Butler Von started walking out the door with still a solemn look on his face.

In the paper there were at least 10 names of different mana drugs which Zick knew from the novel, a variety of material which could cost anyone a fortune and some books for learning new skills which could be used with the sword.

After Butler Von went out through the door, Zick looked towards Vincent who seemed to be waiting for his order.

"Just guard the room from outside"

"yes"

Bowing to him, Vincent went outside the door.

Only when the door closed did Zick start looking at his room properly.

There was a king size bed in the middle of the room with cushions and a writing table from some distance to it. The whole room was made from high quality furniture.

After taking a look around his room, Zick sat on the bed and started training in mana.

The things he ordered Butler Von to bring cost almost 1 billion dels.

'It shouldn't be a problem for Melvix family pay up at all....I should try breaking through middle rank within the night'
