The ambush from the bandits succeeded me and Brother June failed. Although the most important role is June, at least I can help ease her work.
I returned to the horse carriage with the unconscious magic user bandit. With the training I had been doing all this time, I was able to easily lift heavy weights. So the weight of this bandit is nothing to me.
I saw Brother June pulling the bandits she defeated with her wood magic. He took out roots from the ground and dragged the bodies of the bandits nearby. Also seen is Uncle Armin who has been standing nearby.
“Kak June.” Sapaku approached him.
Brother June turned her gaze towards me then smiled happily. “I'm glad you're okay Alvin.”
I'm laughing a little. “I'm your great student. Of course I must be fine.”
“Iya-iya you are great.. now lower the body of that bandit.”.
I agreed to Brother June's request and immediately took down the bandits I was carrying.
“Alright, now we tie them.” Said brother June.
I and Uncle Armin nodded then arranged the bandits with their backs and then tied them with a rope in the horse carriage.
“OK sip!” said brother June. But then he seemed to think back. “Hmm... continue now how to bring it to the city?”
I was equally aware. How do you get them into town? If I have to go back again, it feels so bad to me.
“Oh about that no need to worry, I have taken care of it” said Uncle Armin.
Me and Brother June put on curious faces. What did Uncle Armin do?
“Any licensed trader definitely masters magic . This magic is able to send information to the intended person. This magic became a condition for obtaining a trade license. Because by having this skill, the merchants were able to provide information to the guards at the city gate. I dance used it while you fought. Soon the guards will come here.” Uncle Armin.
“Hmm. Maybe I'll learn it later. For now we just have to wait for the guards to come.” Said brother June
Finally the three of us waited for the guards to arrive on the side of the road. And it looks like Brother June is curious about the ambush that happened. Surely I am too. Finally Brother June asked about the ambush on Uncle Armin.
“Mr Armin..it may be time you told me all about you and why you were targeted by the bandits. Usually bandits will not wait until morning just to rob people randomly.”
just feel like there's no need to say it. But this incident must make you curious.” Uncle Armin smiled awkwardly. “I am the owner of the Heavens Door trading company. One of the largest trading companies in the country.”
“We know about it, what we are confused about is why you are not controlled at all? It is only natural for people as great as you to hire adventurers with high rank to take care of you.” Take sis June.
Uncle Armin laughed. “Since long ago, somehow I was never comfortable if controlled by someone. And also with me like this, usually I am not targeted by the bandits. But it seems I need a bodyguard after this incident. In the future I will try to hire someone to protect me.”
“Do you know why you were targeted by them?” ask brother June.
“Maybe because of this.” Uncle Armin took out a medium-sized wooden box. “This is a box that contains a soul penetrating pill. My brother is a fighter who has a spiritual energy of level 79. And he needed this pill to break through to level 80. I bought it at an auction last night. I intend to give this pill to my brother as a gift for him.”
“Is anyone eyeing the pill at the auction besides you?”
“Yes there, he's a businessman with a slave trading business. There are a lot of bad rumors about him. And it looks like he's after this pill. Indeed, there have been many instances where when goods are not obtained at auction then use violent roads by forcibly seizing the item.”
I'm kind of goosebumps hearing Uncle Armin say. It's not just good things in this world. My second life was barbaric.
Shortly after, a group of guards arrived looking hurriedly. They looked surprised as soon as they saw 5 already helpless bandits bound near the horse carriage. One of the guards got off his horse and talked to Uncle Armin. Looks like the guard asked the details of the incident to Uncle Armin. Before long the guard suddenly glanced at me and was surprised.
“In-he who saved you Mr Armin?” ask the guard not to believe it.
“True, he managed to slash the magic ball that was eyeing my horse carriage. And additionally, he's the son of Martin Carlos.” Uncle Armin.
“AP-Martin Carlos the one!?” the guard was surprised to hear my father's name.
“Iya, the kingdom's best swordsman.”
The guard smiled with relief. “Then it seems reasonable. We'll extract some information from these bandits. We will be announcing its development. Thanks for the time.”
“Sama-sama, sorry to trouble.”
The guard signaled that they were leaving. Then they returned to the city with the bandits on their horses.
After that I, Brother June, and uncle Armin continued on the way. During the trip, there was no problem at all. And what I did as usual, was to train the ability to control my spiritual energy and fire magic. At noon, we reached my house.
