Chương 32: Mortal

A few minutes later they arrived at a large room. This was the part that was different from the normal dwarf city. There were too many people in the room. Ezio, Albus, Ned, Arthur, Altair, Edward, Ragnar, and the newcomer to the world Catelyn Stark. Robb Stark, I think, had not yet arrived. When people saw Nashi, they came to him to say hello. A few minutes later, Robb walked through the door apologizing for being late. It was hardly possible to teleport within the city. This could not be done completely willingly, they could not remove the restriction from certain regions. After all, the level of magic performed was completely at the limit of everyone.

Nashi: "Then we can start talking slowly."

Albus smiled and tapped his stick on the ground. Unlike always, this time vibrations spread from the ground, as if an earthquake is happening. Then an extremely detailed table and twelve chairs were formed.

Nashi: "I see that your shapeshifting magic continues to return to its former state."

Albus sat down on one of the chairs next to him. Everyone started to sit down except Nashi.

Albus: "As I get used to practicing magic in this world, I'm regaining my refinement, I've even crossed the limit of my world before I died in terms of power."

Nashi smiled and sat down on the seat that was on the middle right side.

Nashi: "This is normal, after all, there wasn't so much energy in your other world, and you're also working on a new type of magic right now."

Only the chairs at the table, which were at the heads of both sides, had remained empty.

For a while, food and drinks were served at the table. Everyone started chatting idly. Even the people serving in the room could not hear a whisper of what they were talking about. Nashi had already left Marcus and Mehmed outside before entering the room. After about half an hour, everyone was just starting to consume alcohol.

Edward" "I can't believe I can't come to a dwarf city and drink dwarf alcohol."

Altair took a sip of the water.

Altair: "Even if it's abnormal for you to consume alcohol as an assassin, you also want to get drunk."

Edward" "My footsteps are lighter when I'm drunk."

Ezio: "Yes, of course. I am also an 18-year-old prince."

Edward: "We all know this, who else walks around in white?"

A few giggles swirled around the table. There were only Catelyn and Robb at the table who didn't look comfortable.

Nashi ran his finger over the wine glass. A ringing sound echoed through the entire room.

Nashi: "Then should we start with a little more serious matters?"

Everyone became quiet and the big doors were closed with the help of the wind.

Nashi: "First of all, Catelyn and Robb, welcome back to Dec. I'm sorry we couldn't take much care of you."

Catelyn stood up and bowed like a nobleman.

Catelyn: "Even bringing us together is enough of an interest, Master Nashi. Dec."

Nashi: "If you say so."

Nashi shrugged and looked at Ezio.

Nashi: "Well, tell me. With what heart do the dwarf banks want to buy a share from us."

This was a topic that everyone in the room was wondering about. Whether it's a brotherhood, a mercenary group, or high-ranking individuals. They were VIP customers of the bank. Until they said last week that they would take a 10% commission on every transaction they made. This was much more than even the normal citizen.

Ezio sipped from the wine.

Ezio: "The fact is, I wanted to visit our old friend. Cosma Cianfanelli is no longer around."

Edward" "What do you mean he's not around? Don't tell me you're rusty and can't follow the tracks."

Altair" "No, I was also involved in this incident and I was looking for a trail. Our friend Cosma asked for the 3 requests and disappeared."

This was a really strange situation. Cosma was a clever dwarf, she had done a lot of work with them. He must have realized that he could not escape them.

Ragnar: "I don't understand why you are so surprised. Dwarves, elves, dragons, monsters, and magic. These are the "supernatural" events that we all face. Someone has either kidnapped our old friend or is helping him."

Nashi grabbed the thin part of the wine glass with his hand and started turning the glass. After a while, several images appeared in it, and a second after the image appeared, the cup cracked. The wine poured into his hand.

Nashi: "There's no need to worry, let's give the commission and play how they want. There is no need to call our friend."

Most people had extracted too much information from this sentence. Who are they dealing with and the fact that Cosma did not betray them?

Nashi reached his hand into the gap and pulled out a handkerchief. He wiped his hand and arm. She held out her hand to Edward.

Edward was surprised.

Edward: "What?"

Nashi: "Give me the alcohol you're secretly trying to drink."

Edward groaned and took the bottle out of his wrist and put it on the table.

Nashi looked at Ned.

Nashi: "Well, we've already discussed your case. Is everything on your mind?"

Ned: "Yes, in my mind. My only question is why do I have to deal with this when you're already here?"

Nashi pulled a coin out of the gap.

Nashi: "That's the main thing. It looks like I won't be around for a while."

At that moment, even the footsteps of insects walking on the floor in the room became quiet enough to become audible.

Ezio" "What do you mean you can't be around?"

Ned, Robb, and Catelyn had their eyes on the money that was still in Nashi's hands.

It was a gold coin with a dragon on it. Targaryen Gold.

Nashi: "I may have to go out to take care of a few issues."

Albus" "It's okay, I take care of the people who are here."

Nashi threw the money toward Albus.

Nashi: "That's the main thing, you're coming with me."

This time the tension in the room had risen.

Nashi: "We should have both traveled as normal people, at least that's the way the rules should be. Unfortunately, even if I have to pay the price, I can't let you come as a person without magic."

Ned immediately asked the first thing that came to his mind.

Ned" "Can we come too? Why can't you leave like this?"

Most people were surprised by this situation. Ned Stark was not a dashing person, but at the same time, he had tasks to do here.

Nashi: "Of course you... you can't come. How can there be two identical souls in one world? It's completely against the rules, well, unless he wants to."

Nashi whispered the last part in a way that only he could hear. He could have bet his soul that he didn't want that.

Nashi: "As for the second problem, we don't have enough power."

Ezio had lost his calm this time. The others at the table may not have known exactly everything, but Ezio did. Ezio stood up and looked at Nashi.

Ezio: "Is this trip necessary?"

Nashi smiled and the money in his hand became orange first, then red, and finally melted and dripped onto the table.

Nashi: "These JOURNEYS are necessary. After all, it's not enough for me to gain a few world powers."

Nashi smiled, turning his head to the head chairs.

The people sitting in the chairs at the heads of the table had disappeared without anyone noticing.

Nashi: "Not very important things. We're leaving in exactly 72 hours, so it would be nice if you could get everything in order. How are the albus veins?"

Albus waved his hand and the entire castle appeared in the form of light in the air. Colorful lights were passing under the castle.

Albus" "I don't know what he did, but the veins joined and connected to the board. From there, our spells and lines to the entire castle are fed. I don't know how long we'll be out for, but even our friends can't change this without a "takeover"."

Nashi shook his head.

Nashi: "The meeting is over for today, you can do whatever you want."

Everyone started leaving the room one by one, the last chairs and the table disappeared.

Nashi stopped inside the castle on his way to his room.

Nashi: "You don't need to follow me, say whatever you want to say, old friend."

Ezio stepped out of Nashi's shadow.

Ezio: "Do you need to go? We both know that you haven't recovered even a little, and you weren't a fighter."

Nashi smiled and suddenly a transparent eye appeared in his hand. Even if it was only for a second, the whole world beat like a pulse.

Ezio took a fighting stance, and the shadows around him began to merge and form something similar to a face.

Nashi: "Calm down, old friend. It's not him, I just had a short conversation with my uncle in a dream. We both made a deal."

The eye disappeared again.

Nashi kept walking.

Nashi: "Even in the worst case, 9. I'll go back to my layer state. Unfortunately, I can't heal like you. Otherwise, at least that's how much I've been up to now."

Ezio was silent in the back, sweating all over his body. He was so confused right now. He was sure he was talking to the real Nashi. He is not with the soul of the puppet or the root world. Nashi. He also had the eye of one of the True Devil's family. He wasn't like these demons or other little demons. It wasn't even 72 columns. The eye of one of Satan's family who betrayed "Father".

Ezio whispered.

"Layer 9: Mortal."
