章 9: Journey To Jura
Galahad woke up in the morning of course quite late, almost at 12 raising his hand he looked at it curiously, as always his overall power and magicule amount had increased by leaps and bounds. Getting up he willed his armor to appear again moving to the door he opened it and walked downstairs with a yawn. The inn was for some reason completely empty, with only the owner lady standing at the counter. He walked over and sat there, she smiled at him and went to get his food, He lazily glanced at her, "I apologize.....if you lost customers because of me."
She smiled and shook her head, "It's fine, they just don't know how to be grateful." He nodded and ate his food in silence while swaying around like he would fall over. The door to the inn was opened and several soldiers walked in sternly standing around him. After them came in a man wearing regal clothes, he looked to be in his forties. He was followed in by a magician looking woman who started trembling as soon as her gaze fell upon Galahad, mages can to some extent see someone's magicule amount and Galahad's was well.
Galahad finished his food and turned to them, before his eyes slightly widened and he cleaned his ear, this was expected after all his contribution couldn't be ignored after all he single handedly defended their kingdom, and it wasn't hard to find him with everyone staring at him all the way, "The King....I presume." he said blowing air on the finger he used to clean his ear, even though it was clean already. The man now identified as the King nodded, causing the owner to panic and bow, "M-My King!" He nodded at her, before signaling towards one of his men who escorted her away.
The King sat down next to him and lowered his head, "Thank you, for saving my kingdom." Galahad nodded at him in affirmation, what would he obtain from denying it. "So I'd like to offer you a reward, how about I grant you nobility?" he asked with a smile, but alas Galahad wasn't a dumbass he knew that the King wanted to bind him to his own Kingdom, he smiled of course you need to have cunning to be a ruler, "No thanks" he lazily said, prompting one of the guards to point his spear at him, "Show some respect!" but his head was lowered by the magician, who herself also bowed, "I-I'm sorry about him!" she could clearly see that nothing here stood a chance against the person in front of her, so getting on his bad side was a big no.
"But I have to reward you!" the King insisted, losing such a fighter was quite a loss, "Then give me....money." Galahad said once more resting his head on the table, "But as a noble!" Galahad cut him off, "Money." and turned his head the other way, he didn't want anymore of this just let him sleep for eternity! The magician looked between her King and Galahad with cold sweat running down her back, if he got angered their kingdom was doomed.
The King however didn't give up and kept insisting, but all he got in response was silence or yawns, in other words Galahad had begun ignoring him, finally frustrated at being shut down even after all that he gave up after all even he knew they lose, that giant army was completely decimated you know! He signaled towards one of the men who came forward with a small bag and gave it to Galahad, "Sigh....a shame but here you go." the King said getting up to walk away.
Galahad opened it and peered in before his eyes widened in shock, he whistled seeing the bag filled with gold coins, and at the top lay five very peculiar gold coins, he looked at it closely before turning his head to the King in surprise, that was a Stellar Gold Coin! for reference one equals $100,000. The King smiled, "I still owe you for saving my Kingdom you know." Galahad shrugged these people were contrary to what he expected quite reasonable, "Oh.." he said prompting the King to turn around. "Can I ...get a horse?" he said curiously.
The King laughed, "You're leaving already?! ...sigh, you can have one of the ones outside." Galahad gave him a grateful nod before walking outside, his gaze fell upon a majestic white horse standing proudly daring him to make a move, so he ignored it and took the black one instead. Sitting on top of it he ran off towards the city gates, "Hey that was the court mage's horse right?" one guard asked the other receiving a nod in response before both of them gulped, they were going to get chewed out.
WITH GALAHAD,
He continued out of the city before stopping, covering his eyes from the Sun he looked at the tree line in the distance which signified the start of the Great Forest of Jura, "Hyah!" he said as the horse turned and started running in that direction, but when it neighed he fell off, face first into the ground, Rubbing his head he looked at the horse, "Damn...horse." and it almost as if making fun of him neighed in response.
Galahad stood up and once more mounted the horse with a sigh, of course he fell off after all he had no experience in this, only holding on due to his reflexes and senses. The distance to cover was quite a lot and along the way he dozed off several times only to fall off of the horse and just climb it again. Almost two hours of running later they finally reached it, the entrance!
The horse however was quite hesitant to go in, Galahad understood this because the Great Forest of Jura was home to monsters upon monsters, whether they had intelligence or were more bestial in nature was another matter. He got off of the horse and slapped it's behind and the horse understood, giving a him a calm look before running off in the Kingdom's direction.
Galahad took in a deep breath and walked into the forest, lazily glancing around with his laziness being further enhanced by the cool atmosphere of this forest. As for the reason, well he figured since he was planning on travelling towards Hell's Gate anyway, he would have to pass through the Great Forest of Jura, and here resided the current Fairy Queen, Ramiris in her Labyrinth. The thing is whether she'd be the annoying but lovable little Ramiris or the Fairy Queen Ramiris in all her glory since she had yet to pass or fall giving her access to her full strength, after all she only became a Demon Lord as a result of Milim's rampage at her pet dragon's death. His head shot towards a certain direction as something lunged at him only to get cut into two. "Right.....monsters...Sigh."
He continued walking through the forest slowly and randomly after all it wasn't like he was just going to find the Labyrinth's Entrance right behind that bush over there. He walked over to it and checked, yup as he though it wasn't there at all.
