Grateful Allegiance's

Ch-8′s. Out of the Sanatoziria Forest

"Hmm, look, grandpa.... Ehh, I mean teacher Happer, it's.... If I told you I was illiterate and didn't know anything about this place, would you believe me?"Tanya Mada was full of doubts.

The sun had started to set by then, grandfather Happer and Mada were on their way back to the village of Altens, a village not far from the outskirts of the Sanatoziria forest. Hearing the question from Mada, grandfather Happer suddenly stopped his steps and let out a long sigh, he turned his head back with a flat facial expression.

"Yes, I believe."Finished saying that, Grandfather Happer turned his head back and continued his steps.

'Cihh, is that old geezer pretending? Why does he trust me so much?'Batin Mada while following Happer's grandfather.

The darker the day, the longer the illumination in the Sanatoziria forest decreases. Mada stroked her left ear which suddenly felt pain and remembered the things that had happened just a moment ago, starting from four crystal cores carved with Rune letters by grandfather Happer who if sorted will form the name Mada. Then the way how the four crystal cores were made into earrings and attached to Mada's left ear, of course using magic. The moments when the earrings were installed did feel a bit painful but the result was worth it because Mada looks cooler now, he said lah~

"Gu-teacher Happer, is it still far away?"After walking in a rather long silence, Mada finally decided to invite Grandpa Happer to speak, in fact he was cold at this time considering the clothes he was using now was just a thin white T-shirt, white, according to Mada so that he does not fall unconscious and lose consciousness suddenly it is better to try to divert the cold alone. In a way of speaking.

"No, we're almost there. Are you okay Mada?"Grandpa Happer did ask about Mada's condition, but in fact he did not even turn his head towards his disciple at all.

"I-I'm fine, cu-"

Mada stopped talking when his stomach suddenly just rang, Grandpa Happer finally stopped his steps and turned his head back. Mada's starving stomach voice was too loud to ignore.

'Ahaha, I guess this is just my feeling, it turns out that I am really hungry huh? Garbage, I never heard if someone could starve when playing VRMMORPG games. Besides, I just had breakfast, right?!'Batin Mada lowered his head.

"Mada."Call grandpa Happer.

Mada raised his head upon hearing the call of Happer's grandfather, a medium-sized loaf of bread before his face and waiting to be devoured.

"Ehh?"

"Eat, let's rest for a while."Happer's grandfather gave the bread to Mada and stepped into a fallen tree trunk on his left side, he sat there and patted the place beside him.

Mada stepped towards where Happer's grandfather was and sat beside him, devouring the bread in his hand immediately.

'Ekhh, this bread tastes like styrofoam!'Inner Mada while widening his eyes.

While Mada was busy with the bread in his mouth, Happer's grandfather was busy watching Mada's leg being covered with wounds. He felt pity and guilt for not realizing it from the beginning, grandfather Happer then flicked his finger and greenish lights gathered at the foot of Mada.

"Hmm?"Mada glanced at her feet with a confused facial expression.

"When I get home, I'll teach you to read and write. Understood it? Science is the most important thing if you want to become a Knight, yes of course the sword and battle talent as well...."

"Hmm, Master Happer, I want to ask you about something. How do you know about the class I chose?"

"Hmm, class? What'sthat?"Ask grandpa Happer.

"Hmmm!"Grandpa Happer stood up while shaking his head."Come on...."He again invited Mada to continue his journey.

"Ehh, but I.... Oh, my God, all right."Mada let out a long sigh, inevitably he had to continue the journey and follow the direction of his teacher, even though he still felt a bit tired.

Grandpa Happer again noticed Mada's leg, the injuries that were there were no longer as big and painful as the first time he saw it. Grandpa Happer crouched down in front of Mada and told her to go up.

"Huh? Up?"

"Fool, don't you understand? I'll carry you, hurry up! It's getting dark."Jerking grandpa Happer.

"O-ohh."

Mada climbed onto Happer's grandfather's back and thus, he was carried along the journey and Mada continued to invite Happer's grandfather to speak.

"So, what else should I pay attention to, Master Happer?"

"Eye money! The currency we use when trading with someone is bronze, silver, and gold. Bronze is the lowest currency value, one hundred bronze is equivalent to one silver, one hundred silver is equivalent to one gold. At a minimum, our monthly needs cost about 50 silver."

"Hmm, what else?"Tanya Mada quietly.

"The leader of our village, the village of Altens is led by Mr. Kingsley Davis. He was a greedy sloppy old geezer and had many wives, damn it.... Filled with property and wealth but constantly blackmailing the people, he raises taxes every year and his eldest son is very, very dangerous."

"Huh?"Mada began to feel sleepy but he continued to listen to whatever was said by grandfather Happer, it seems that the village of Altens is not a prosperous place.

"Kingsley Davis's eldest son was Davindar Calasteo Davis, at such a young age capable of mastering a level two summoning magic. If only his character wasn't like that rotten old man, I could have raised him to be my disciple."

'uh? Is that what's more?'Batin Mada's.

"Kingsley was a lousy and disgusting man, he once tried to steal my beloved magic plant. Damn it, and do you want to know King's second wife"

"Teacher Happer, are you confiding or gossiping to me? You better explain about the second level summoning magic belonging to the eldest son of the village chief, I'm more interested in that topic...."

"Hmph! Never mind, no need to force yourself anymore. Sleep on."Grandpa Happer said slowly.

"I'm not sleepy yet, you know. Tell me, that's it...."

A few minutes later Mada fell into a deep sleep on Grandpa Happer's back from feeling too exhausted, happer's grandfather's current facial expression indicates that he felt guilty for forcing Mada to stay awake when he knew that Mada was sleepy.

"We're finally out."Grandpa Happer muttered when he saw some buildings that were some distance ahead, now he had come out of the Sanatoziria forest.
