The Dragon Soul Forging

104. The Strangeness of a Stone

Many people were already waiting in front of the store to do the herbal trade. But suddenly four members of the Teapot Legion guild came intending to pick up the shopkeeper.

“What is this? Did this store do something that made those Guilds angry?.”

“Ahahaha, the handicap must have done illegal actions.”

“Really!.”

“Surely so, from the beginning I was also sure if he was not a good person.”

No matter who started it, rumors that Budi had committed a major crime quickly spread.

As a result the circumstances in front of the quiet Asongan shop suddenly turned into a commotion. It happened only because of the arrival of the guild members of the Teapot Legion to that place.

“What if a god messenger comes to my shop?. Perhaps the rumors will say if I am the Demon King in disguise.”

With the ability of Hero Sense and super vision from the eyes of the dragon, Budi can see what is going on outside his shop.

“What's the boss?.” Ask Siti who just came out of the bathroom.

“No, it's just like Yuki sent an invitation to....”.

My voice came to a halt as my eyes were blown away by Siti who was just wearing a towel.

Even though I spent almost all day making love to him, even a few moments ago we just finished exercising together.

But as much as I enjoyed it, Siti's self-styled body never failed to excite me.

“You are really beautiful Siti.” I said honestly.

The girl was simply speechless with widened eyes and an open mouth. Until he regained consciousness and immediately threw away the face that began to redden.

“Thank you.” he said in a voice that was so slow.

“Yuki sent some members of the Teapot Legion guild to pick us up, it seems like she was worried because in front of the store there are already many people waiting.”

After saying that I immediately went out of the room, because if I had been in there longer it might have taken me a few hours to get out.

“We can't make them wait.” I said before closing the door.

“A... I understand.”

Siti's voice sounded trembling and her face seemed to show disappointment. It feels very heavy indeed, but we have to endure it.

***

The shop door opened, everyone's attention in front of the shop immediately turned to me who had just come out.

The aura of the place felt extremely gripping, I could feel a strong hatred directed at me. It was all thanks to the stupid rumors spreading false information about me.

But is it all because of a rumor?.

Of course not because I felt magic energy enveloping everyone who was angry. That means they're all in the magic effect of manipulation.

“That's him the bastard who has sold counterfeit goods.”

“False? All I heard was he had smuggled illegal goods.”

“What the heck. He was an evil merchant who enslaved children to work forcibly in his shop, without being given time off and a penny.”

They started arguing about the fictitious crimes I committed. The accusations spread by the rumors seemed to be inconsistent causing confusion.

“Whatever he has done, which is for sure he is a bad guy.”

A loud voice sounded from the crowd. Everyone who heard those words returned guidance.

They believe that Budi is evil, but what evil has he done?.

{Tck, you idiot. Use the event think everything, they should just hit the handicap it}

I could hear the hateful mockery of the man who had shouted.

With the detection skills I have, the location of the person who has used the manipulation ability has been successfully tracked.

A stone floated towards me, I could have easily avoided it. But suddenly Siti came out of the store right behind me.

Danger, if I choose to avoid the stone then Siti will be the one who will be attacked. Not wanting Siti to get hurt, I also chose not to dodge.

Taps! I easily caught a rock that someone threw.

The throw felt quite strong as it was coated in magic, but it didn't matter because I used a glove from monster skin.

Seeing that instantly everyone fell silent.

But they were silent not because I had just caught a flying rock. Rather they were stunned by the girl who suddenly appeared behind me.

The one wearing casual clothes did look very sweet.

As everyone's attention was shocked at Siti, I immediately moved quickly towards the source location of the control magic.

In a split second I broke through the sea of humans to the middle of the crowd.

“What are you..”.

“Uwaaa..”.

“How are you?..”

His words came to a halt as a colleague patted him on the shoulder from behind.

“You must be the Teapot Legion member Yuki sent to pick me up, right?.” I said loudly.

I deliberately said out loud so that the person using the controlling magic panicked so that the effects of the magic disappeared.

“The guild members came to the store due to mayor Yuki's request?”

“So they came here not to catch the store owner?.”

“Actually what did we bother about?.”

Seeing the reaction of everyone who was confused, I felt that the magic that had been controlling them had been removed.

The four members of the Teapot Legion guild stared intently at me, I have no idea what they were thinking.

All I could do was return that hateful look with a bright smile.

“Can we leave soon?. I don't want to make Yuki wait.”

Decak tongue full of non-fasting is heard from the mouth of one of the Legion members.

After that the four of them immediately disperse all the people in front of the store, then escort us to the Yuki Mansion.

“Great, go to the store front Mansion only, the mayor until the report send bodyguards.”ucsp Siti with admiration.

Right now Siti is walking beside me, while the four guild members are walking around protecting us.

“That proves if Yuki is indeed smart, he knows the value of someone who is very meritorious to the city. Unlike most of the people in the city who only look at the physical.”

The Legion guild members who heard that started to feel angry, but they were still able to endure it. But it won't be long.

“Siti try to see this.”

I pointed at the stone that was thrown at me earlier.

“What rock is it?.”

Siti was confused because I showed her a stone that looked ordinary. But not so with one of the Legion guild members, he looked anxious upon seeing the stone.

“Try looking closely, and find what is strange with this stone.”

Following my words, Siti looked again at the stone more closely.

I forbade him to touch the stone so that Siti slept had other options than to walk closer to me.

{Sial, this brengjek is very good at looking for a chance}

{What will he do with the stone it}

{Siti is too innocent, she doesn't even realize she's being targeted by a human-skinned wolf}

{I don't want him to be next to my angel}

Hateful angry remarks I can hear from the members of the Legion guild.

The siti who was watching the stone was unaware of that. Until he finally found a strange.

“I feel the rest of mana coats this stone.”

Siti's exact guess made the four guild members flinch in shock.

“But what does it mean?.” Siti looked at me as if asking for an explanation.

“That means someone who previously held this stone used his skill to make the stone as a weapon.”

Siti was very surprised to hear that.

“Heeee. Isn't that a gross violation?.”

I could see one of the members starting to get nervous, cold sweat drenching his back and his face starting to pale.

“That's true Siti, but can you imagine a punishment like a greeting to those who use enchantment magic on dozens of ordinary citizens?.”

As soon as the four members of the Teapot Legion guild felt a sense of speed, their faces turned white like paper.

“Using enchantment magic to manipulate others is a great crime. Such people were more dangerous than crazy Hunters who massacred fellow humans to level up. A proper punishment for such a person is to be hanged in front of many people”

Anxiety turns to fear.

Fear turned to despair.

Desperation gives birth to recklessness.

Afraid that what they had done was discovered, the four members of the Legion guild started thinking of silencing us.
