Kapitel 17: Chapter 17 - Old Man - Map
Skalain walked briskly through the bustling streets of Red Copper Town, his mind focused on his immediate goal.
"Finding the materials for the Skeleton Ring..."
Soon enough, he spotted a humble cart adorned with rolled-up parchment maps. The elderly map vendor sat behind the cart, his weathered face etched with lines of wisdom and experience. Skalain approached him.
"I am in need of a detailed map of the surrounding area.
The map vendor peered at Skalain through spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose. "Certainly, young mage. I have just the map you need."
With a deft hand, the map vendor showed a large parchment map, revealing a meticulously drawn representation of the region. Skalain's gaze swept across the intricate lines and symbols.
"This seems good enough for me to start with."
After a brief examination, Skalain inquired about the price. "How much for this map?"
The map vendor leaned forward, his voice filled with a hint of negotiation. "For this finely detailed map, I will require one silver coin."
Skalain hesitated for a moment, contemplating his limited funds. He knew that acquiring the map was crucial.
"Money or coins can be gained later on as long as I have power. I should not be stingy for the time being."
He reached into his coin pouch and handed over one of his precious silver coins.
"Thank you,"
The map vendor nodded. "May it guide you well on your adventures, young mage."
With the map secured, Skalain set his sights on his next objective: finding a suitable hunting ground.
He inspected the map and then nodded.
He marked a secluded forest on the outskirts of Red Copper Town, where he believed he would find the creatures he sought.
Determined and eager to put his newfound powers to use.
"In the end, it is true that I am new to this place."
Skalain smiled as he knew that he was a man with a curious nature.
As Skalain ventured into the wilderness, his mind focused on the task at hand. With the map in hand.
"Because of the map, I have knowledge of the land but not experience of it."
"This would prove a problem for most people, and most people, I assume, would not want to be in this kind of situation."
"But for me, who wants to experience and feel everything, It is a good thing."
Skalain was not a romantic person. He was not romanticizing anything. He was just a kid who wanted to see everything. That is why he was not taken back because of his inexperience.
Instead, he was happy that he was inexperienced. The time will arrive when he will see many things that, in the future, will not surprise him.
He wants to have fun before he gets fed up with most things, and this is the simple nature of humans. Despite the fact that Skalain has problems with humans, he knew that, in the end, he would not be that much different from them if given power.
"I need to be patient and move slowly but surely."
Skalain thought.
