(Author's Note: Hey guys, I'm gonna make a suggestion and say you should download this track, play it in the background as you read...preferably with a headset or something (with low volume). Should be more fun! "naruto shippuden ost konoha peace" or "Shinobi Striker Ost konoha" maybe both in a single playlist enjoy!!!.
FYI: might want to place on repeat or something lol.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With a Carefree attitude, Haru walked on foot towards the town, several people headed in and out of the Gate in an unending circle.
He carefully looked at the variety of Attires and different actions the people performed, From the Merchants pulling Carts with Oxen to the weird old man riding a Donkey.
Finally walking Through the gates as the Guards didn't even bother with him, Haru entered the town with his eyes darting around with every slight motion.
He saw several soldiers wearing simple armor matching the guards at the gate as they were patrolling the town. From what he could gather was that apparently these soldier were always rotated, the soldiers sent by The Kroos City were always different each week.
Inside the Town, all sorts of pedestrians were walking.
There were mercenaries, merchants, Beggars, Spoiled Brats, Gossips, Farmers as well as carriages that crossed from time to time..... in fact, the town had gathered Thousands of people inside it, so it was really a bustling place.
It was Still early in the day when he arrived, so He felt he Should explore a bit as he looked around like a Curious Child. This where the kind of experiences he missed in his previous Life, walking with his own two feet and having a human interaction with others, well 'almost?'.
Along the way, some females tried seducing a group of mercenaries, this didn't attract any surprised reaction as the mercenaries teased the ladies back, the attention of a few men were caught but some got smacked with a Bamboo slipper.
the man who got smacked dared not to talk, immediately people began laughing and teased him.
Haru began Smiling when he bumped into a plump kid with Glasses. before he could apologize and help him up, A middle aged Lady with a Hairy mole on her left cheek dragged the boy with a Snort [Hmph!!]
Haru could only raise an eyebrow at the sight as he yelled inwardly "Ah... Ah... that scared me, Tch with that ugly face of yours, How can you be Rude with all this awesomeness?".
while having his inner ramblings, he soon heard an argument from another side of the busy Market, [ Eh?You Scoundrel, Half bag of grain for 5 silver??!!!!!]
[Sssh keep your voice down!, fine fine here!, 4 Silver and 20 vers coppers...No less!!!] the Merchant tried to salvage the situation.
[Hahaha, if you could give that price all along why force me to make a Scene??] The Man shamelessly said before completing his transactions and leaving.
[oh?]
Haru couldn't help but laugh at the Merchant
No kidding, the Hustle is real inside this town.
With his system he could see the Status of people, Haru knew that the identities of every one of these people, even the thug looking at the patrolling soldiers from a corner, So he knew that man who just left the Merchant was a Swindler, in fact his Coins was fake.
After about 2 hours of walking, he finally got some good insights on the ins and out of the town. The road of this town was intersected with one another more than 2 times. it was like a Maze of Roads. And there were shops on each Corners of the Street, which had a variety of products, and these shops, along with the Atmosphere were even larger and livelier than the malls on the earth.
He stopped by some shops purchasing Magical Beast parts, after comparing prices he sold to the Best, earning 32 vers gold coins and some coppers from the Little portion he had sold.
[I guess being a Serial killer to those beasts paid off, May thy souls rest in peace] He muttered in Mock prayer.
After about 10 minutes and stopped by a big Tavern at the east wing of the Town. Haru glanced at the name of the Tarvern "Wild Boar Tavern".
{Wild Boar(D+) Lv 2: (Tavern)
Owner: Morris the Damned(Hidden)...}
It was a Massive Three storey building Structure and with a the way it was built, he could almost imaging the interior would have an open space at the center of the first and second floor.
Although he looked pensive, inside his head, a Grin was prevalent, He couldn't believe he was in a medieval world!!!, this was what he wanted to confirm. but he was now wondering why houses had grade and So on, When he asked system about this, it said he doesn't have enough privilege to access it yet so he decided to leave it for later.
"Well, I have heard and read a few things about Taverns and the main thing he understood about it was, if you need information, come here." Haru thought as he kept nodding his head.
[Ha ha ha!!!, the little Lass was screaming all Morning!!! I'm pretty sure your skills are not ordinary hahaha!!!.] A booming voice assaulted his ears the moment he opened the door as the smell of alcohol teased his nose
[Hahahaha!!!] the others on the same table burst into laughter.
[Tch Rick, I swear that lass almost killed me, she just won't let go anymore...] A Brown haired male Complained.
[we can see that, I'm pretty sure you lost over a pound in one Night!!!haaaahahaha] another Burly Man teased.
""Hahahaha"""
[Well, well, these Lass must be something to make a grown man cry for help. I am already exhausted and hungry, why don't you help out Stephen.] Rick said in Mock sadness.
[Hahaha Well, Let's make a toast to your defeated member hahaha.]Stephen laughed and patted Rick's back with some force and said.
Seeing Haru finally coming in, The servant on duty quickly went to him to take him to the next floor but the one Called Rick Suddenly stood up to Block their way and was about to place his hand on his shoulder like he was too drunk to walk on his own.
Haru had been suspicious about the way the Qi in the area always shifted as they tapped each other, so he infused Chakra into his eyes and everything seemed to slow down. When he turned on his Sharingan he saw it!, several Woven Qi threads coming from the first floor and connected to almost everyone in the Tavern, some led out the door and there was even one connected to this Rick's palm right now.
Right before Rick's palm got close enough, he moved in a swift and smooth manner like he was going to catch the falling Rick but severed the thread in that palm with Chakra.
--------------------------------------------------------------
15 minutes earlier,
On the floor just above the ground floor, there were a lot less peoples, only a few tables for eating and boxed rooms to rest were available at this floor. Only those people with VIP cards or higher level could stay in the boxed rooms of an floor.
Three individuals in all Black robes and a Red Belts sat by the window, the party had 2 men and a Lady on the left side of their robes, they Had a Crest of a hand in grasping Motion.
As a servant was passing by them, Karen, the Ethereal beauty stopped him and said seductively [We'll, need 2 bottles of your Moon Fragrant wine. I have been hearing of it and I want to get a chance to savor this wine ].
[Now that you mentioned it, I also want to taste this moon Fragrant wine. Bring 3 bottles...] When George heard Karen act like this he immediately understood and gathered non elemental Qi into his hand and tapped the servants shoulder as he was mentioning his wine.
[Yes, your Excellencies. Please wait a moment, this one will go to prepare it.] Hearing the Order of the trio, the servant bowed and respectfully answered and went to prepare.
The Moment the servant left George immediately closed his eyes and started controlling the Qi and spreading it in the entire Tavern. This was a secret Magician technique used in the Temple of Kai(ArchGod of deception), it's call the 'Web', used to gather information. although it just spreads through the form of touch, it's unnoticeable by those with lower strength than the caster. He can also influence their actions by a little bit, So he used this method to expand the Web.
after 3 minutes he was getting ridiculous information from several tables, soon that servant came from downstairs holding a group a huge Tray of what they ordered and most importantly the wine. George's two companions immediately started eating as they watched him.
[ please enjoy. And if you need anything else, please call me.] After the dishes were served, the servant bowed and said respectfully before leaving.
[Well, that would be all for now. If we need something, we'll call you.] Karen waved, and dismissed the servant.
[George how is it? any news on the Canyon incident?.] Karen picked up the bottle and poured the wine in the glass for herself. After that again poured for everyone else too, and lifted her cup to drink.
[No.] George also lifted the cup and answered with his eyes closed. And then slowly put the cup towards his mouth.
he slowly placed the cup on his mouth and poured some wine in his mouth, [hmm, most say it was a Masked mage fighting a Pseudo king chaos beast while some said two lesser Gods were fighting]
.
[Eh, idiots. Lesser Gods fighting is highly unlikely, the other seems to be the case but try and get more information on that.] Karen spoke as she ate. And was looking beautiful as she ate with a bit of surprise on her face.
[He he, this is a simple matter, I can handle it. After all there isn't a thing I can't do for you.]
[Eh, don't mention this anymore.] Karen blushed a bit and said, attracting an eye roll from the silent member.
[Ha ha, no need, no need, eat your food.]George laughed heartily and continued to use his technique.
At this time Haru entered the Tavern, so he influenced someone to trip towards him but the Qi threads was severed immediately causing him to frown. when he wanted to retaliate, He saw the Blood red eyes lock onto him like the Lord of death was smiling at him from the Underworld.
[What is it?] Karen asked worriedly but George was so petrified by the pressure he felt from those eyes as the Youth locked onto his direction like he amused. He could feel cold sweat on his back as the youth nonchalantly climbed up the stairs with the servant.
As He climbed the stairs, each step echoed heavily within George's ears like they were stepping on his own head.
Frozen, He couldn't seem to be able to control his Body nor hear anything until the youth passed by him with the servant, these words suddenly got to his ears,
[It's not Nice to spy on people.]
