There was a lot going on in Chris's head, he was going through a very intense argument in his mind. 'Should I become a solo protagonist or should I join this party and save them when they are in danger'. A ve~ry important discussion was going in Chris's mind.
Andrea sensing the tension says 'you don't have to worry about a thing BlackDeath , we formed our party today. So we all are new in this party.'
Hearing that Chris thinks 'I wasn't thinking about this stuff but oh well, let's see how good they are, if they try to do something funny I'll have to kill them. '
Chris shakes hands with Andrea.
'Please take care of me'. Chris says while smiling behind the mask.
Andrea with a big smile says 'good then let's meet here in two days, we'll take our first group mission.'
Everyone goes on their own way, Chris too goes out of the adventurers guild, and stretches his body while letting out yawn. He starts going towards the blacksmith shop thinking "I'm gonna pay his money in one go". Chris standing outside the blacksmith shop sees that the shop was closed, he thinks it's weird that this grumpy old man has closed his shop but who cares, I'll just give him the money tomorrow.
Chris now finding a place to stay sees a very luxurious inn named 'Arnen' Chris goes inside the inn and asks if there is any rooms available. The attendant says, 'yes sir, there are 4 rooms available currently'. Chris after carefully sensing the surroundings with his mana sense says 'okay give me a good one then, and I'll pay in advance so , what's the price.'
'For 2 days, 20 gold coins' The attendant says. Chris gives the money to the attendant and goes to his room. He uses his magic and makes a special barrier in the room so that noise doesn't go outside the room, he uses his 6th circle magic - "sound barrier", the whole room is now covered in sound proof barrier.
Chris now thinks 'my Swordmaster senses are still too weak, last time someone was definitely seeing me fight, even if my magic is of 6th circle I should have been able to sense them easily, their are two possibilities, one that they were using some kind of artifact, or two they were even more powerful than me, I wonder who that is but I should be more careful from now on.'
Chris starts his magic training immediately as he was unable to do so in the past 3 days. Chris now sitting in a lotus position, examines his magic circles first, his sixth magic circle is half full now, Chris says 'I need some mana source to completely fill this mana circle so that I can quickly advance to the 7th circle master.' Chris stands up and takes out his spirit grade obsidian sword, "long no see " Chris says to the sword.
Swing
Chris making a diagonal slash with the blade, then he holds the sword near his face, covers the sword with ether, the ether flowing through the sword as if water coming from a waterfall, "my sword aura is definitely much better than before, but I'm still unable to completely reveal it. " Chris says while looking at the blade. Chris turns his head towards the window and sees that it's night.
'Oh I should rest for now, who knows what might happen the next day.' Chris says while yawning.
The hidden motive
Andrea now alone with two other adventurers says 'what do you guys think, that BlackDeath guy seems promising.'
'Indeed young mistress'. The adventurer with long hairs said.
'But we should still be careful, we don't know what his true identity is, what if he is a secret assasin sent by your enemies.' The lady with the rapier said.
Andrea with sigh says 'I'm the daughter of Marquis stormbell and still I have to be this careful, I don't even know who's trying to kill me.'
'We should all rest now, we will be meeting him in 2 days anyway, and if he were to be an assasin then you know what to do.' Andrea says with a serious face.
Andrea takes off her skin mask, a very bright skin with long beautiful golden hairs, crystal blue eyes, a true beauty underneath the skin mask,. 'Whatever that boy is I'll know soon' Andrea says with a smile on her face.
The unwanted guest
Chris now eating his breakfast, an omelette with some chicken breasts. The weather is a bit humid, there are a lot of clouds too. Chris says 'I think something's gonna happen soon.'
Chris gets up from his table pays 30 silver to the waiter and leaves the inn.
On his way to the blacksmiths shop he sees some thugs trying to destroy the blacksmith shop, Chris seeing this gets enraged and takes out his blue sword then he appears right in front of those thugs, before anyone could come and stop them, Chris cuts off their arms, their hands holding the knifes drops to the ground, blood gushing out from their arms. The passing crowd now gathered near the blacksmith shop. Chris holds one of the thugs by their hairs dragging him inside the shop, he sees the blacksmith severely beaten up. He drops the thug, and rushes towards the blacksmith, 'hey old man are you alright, can you listen to me.' Chris says worried for him. 'You can't die without taking the full payment.' Chris says jokingly.
The guards appear, and captures the thugs, and they thank BlackDeath and left the shop.
Blacksmith standing up says 'Marick..... That's my name, call me Marick from now on.' Marick then looks at his shop and says 'my shop is now ruined I don't even know when I'll be able to repair all this.'
Chris hands him 850 gold coins, "here all your remaining , now I don't owe you a thing" Chris leaves the blacksmith's shop.
Marick staring at Chris's back 'this boy is really interesting'.
Chris going to the adventurers guild meets Andrea's party, 'hello BlackDeath, how are you.' Andrea says with a smile.
"Well I was about to go and find you guys." Chris says while shaking hands with Andrea.
They go inside the adventurers guild, the atmosphere inside the guild was tense on the front some knights wearing a very shiny armor were interrogating Katherine and Flin.
There were more knights on the upper floor too.
Chris thinks "what the heck, now why did I say that something's gonna happen..... Fuck."
