The Voice On The Rival's Head

Chapter 38: Go Home

Verite and Mefras easily overcame the bandits who attacked them, they were a bit disappointed that they could not test the Mefras feature more deeply but looking on the plus side they stopped the criminal who was already hurting a lot of people.

Mefras gathered them together and carried them like someone carrying a sack of rice, the eyes of the village guards were wide open as Mefras brought these many people.

“Ah, Miss Verite, I guess you went to hunt monsters.” The village guard said, speaking to Verite using a formal sentence because he knew Verite was Duke Bloome's personal disciple.

“Ah yes, we have overcome the monster, as we overcome it you find that these robbers are starting to target the pedestrians and wanderers who pass through this village.” Verite.

“Ah, I heard about robbers, I heard they moved to avoid the law, if only we were not depressed by monsters people like this would not run rampant.” The guard said.

Verite understood what he was saying, sometimes priorities have to be applied because the workforce is lacking, the origin of the monsters was still unknown but no doubt their numbers did not decrease at all regardless of how much they killed,  this makes people like this able to take chances and benefit from people's difficulties.

“Can I leave the rest for you?” Verite asked.

“Iya of course.” The guard started calling his friend and started tying them up. “They will be brought to the court of the city of Azalea and given a sentence corresponding to their crime.”

Verite simply nodded, the outcome of the trial was certain in his eyes, the city of Azalea would not let these depraved bandits eat his tax money to support them, the execution would definitely happen.

The guard left Verite and began to do his work, while Datura and Zorrel came to see them.

“You okay what Verite?” Datura asked, she seemed happy to see Verite back.

“I'm fine, teri class bandits have no equal with Mefras.” Verite pointed at Mefras who was standing behind him, Mefras crossed his arms, seemingly feeling proud of him.

Wait a minute.. Mefras?” Datura looked at the large Mefras with a surprised face. “Since when did he grow this big?” Datura asked, he knew about the smart construct that Verite often brought, but the datura Mefras knew not to be this big.

“Ah, that is my reason for coming here, I want to test the function of Mefras body function that I just created in the field.” Verite looked at Mefras who had no abrasions at all even though he had already hit the tree more than Verite could count.

“Oh yes, how are the monsters you hunted?” Datura asked.

“Ah yes, I saw this construct take her before, did she keep it somewhere?” Zorrel added.

“Ah that, Mefras has a storage space on his shoulders, right?” Verite asked, looking at Mefras.

Mefras nodded. “I've divided and put it into storage on my back.”

Ahhh...” Datura and Zorrel nodded.

“So what will you do now?” Datura asked.

“I think I'll be back soon to make a report to the adventurer guild.”  Verite answered.

“Ah you don't want to rest for a while here?”

Verite shook her head. “It was interesting but I better report the completion of this mission and how I met with the bandit group in the middle of undergoing this mission.”

“Ah dear yes..” Datura turned to Zorrel. “How about you?”

“Ah yes, I almost forgot.” Verite just remembered. “I didn't find your stuff, sorry.” Verite apologized, he had given her hope.

“Not what.” Zorrel shook his head, “Needles and money I can get again but it will all be over if I lose my life.” He held back, “ But I hope I can go to Azalea city with my capital..” He lamented.

“Are you sure?” His voice has hope.

“Yes, this is a small thing we can do.” Verite.

“Thanks.” Zorrel said he let go of his leaping breath.

Verite saw Mefras, “I think I also have a part-time job for you if you want.” Verite.

“Really?” Zorrel looked at Verite with full expectation.

“Iya, I don't know if the payment will make you satisfied but I know a Thaumaturgy store that has a shortage of staff now.”Verite said Miss Gloom's face appeared in his mind.

“Sure, I will accept it, I am a fool if I refuse the help presented on my face.” Zorrel said

“Alright, clear your goods if any, we will leave soon.” Verite said before looking at Datura. “I go home first yes, you can give my greetings to your father.”

Datura nodded, “Sure.”

“Alright, how is Zorrel?” Verite looked at the unmoving Zorrel.

“I'm ready hahaha.. I have no goods at all.” Shoulder's down.

Verite laughed awkwardly before speaking, “Then get on Mefras' shoulders, we will leave in a fast vehicle.” Verite pointed to Mefras who was kneeling.

“Oh...” Zorrel hesitantly climbed onto Mefras' shoulder, it seems that he did not like his first experience riding Mefras.

Verite followed him and climbed onto the empty shoulder of Mefras, as Verite sat down she raised her hand to hold Verite and Zorrel from falling.

“You ready?” She asked.

“Ready?” Zorrel answered with a question.

“Siap.” Verite made sure, he looked at the datura and waved. “Until we meet again Datura.”

Datura waved back as Mefras began to fringe home, their departure accompanied by the cry of Zorrel who could not resist the high-speed journey.

*****

Duke Croneaster Bloome sat in his office, he checked the various report files and data related to this city, he had a busy daily life and that was why he was rarely seen by others.

He sees Verite's report about his latest adventure, Verite. Not only was he talented but he also had revolutionary ideas such as a cooling machine and asphalt.

Just listing his name to Verite Duke Bloome already guaranteed his name would be recorded in the continent's history because Croneaster Bloome believed that Verite would accomplish greater things than he did now and Duke Bloome had to make sure his talent was well-grown like a flower nursed in a garden, he had to provide him with nutrition and challenges so that he could grow better.

Seeing his report on the construct tests he did made him think about Mefras, the construct that Verite had created and had the ability to speak and think like a human, Like Verite the construct seemed to have a different mindset, like Verite, Duke Bloome enjoyed talking to him.

While reading this report, Duke Bloome's eyes focused on the words listed in the report; sunflow City…

it may be time to give Verite a new challenge.
