Bab 164: Quest complete

We reached the HQ- just before the afternoon-

People bowing-

Nobles on the ground-

A clear sky with loads of fresh wind-

So far so good-

No sign of any hostilities or-

Anything for that matter- 

The soldiers here didn't know about the whereabouts of Xerphantalous and his demon.

The spies from the city didn't either.

Were they not here?

Or were they just hiding somewhere- waiting?

'I've to just take over this place-'

Taking over was a surefire way to complete two quests and gain a level-

Without that one level- I couldn't use the damn sword. And if I couldn't use it, wouldn't it be damn pointless? 

Still-

'I basically have all my skills at the ready. And I've already fought him twice-'

The guy had to run away the last time and he seemed fairly smart. 

He wouldn't just start a fight out of nowhere and for no reason.
