Getting back to the gate, it looked a good bit nicer, without the goblins interfering the men on duty were fixing all the holes in the gate, and completely rebuilding the parts that were completely destroyed.
"How can goblins even do that?" Chase questioned. "We're fighting super goblins, we're milking the village dry" Andrew joked, but he was genuinely curious.
The gates were made out of a darker looking wood, with watchtowers that were in the process of being built on each side.
For the rest, the entire village was surrounded by sharpened logs, they couldn't afford the kind of stuff mint stone village had.
"It looks nicer now that holes aren't in the main gate" Chase said, looking on the bright side.
"Yeah, let's go check up on the guys."Andrew replied. Jumping over the gate, the men in charge of building it were in awe, stopping what they were doing in amazement. In reality, magic users were rare, even the bad ones. Seeing proficient magic users was something you would only see a few times in your life if you were lucky.
as they gracefully fell down landing on their feet with no issues the men became hopeful, finally seeing people who could save them.
"We can do it, so the goblin threat will be no more!" "I didn't get attacked at all tonight! Were saved!"
"You're causing a commotion tonight." Damian said walking over. "You just wish you were the one doing it" Chase said, one eyebrow over the other.
Everyone was tired, but the workers were mainly done Anyway. Everyone began packing their things, eager to go home to their families. "That's also our queue to leave" Donny pointed out, before walking up the road, intending to to the old man's place.
"Oh yeah, we never did talk about where we were going to sleep." Chase said, following closely. As everyone walked together, Donny asked, "What did you guys do back there?" His eyebrows were raised, he seemed genuinely curious.
"I used something special to wipe them out."
Andrew said, smirking. "It's a surprise that I'd sooner show than tell" "I gotta get out there, tomorrow can't come fast enough" Damian concluded. He needed to see the things he was capable of as well.
Making it back up the hill, they went to the nice house once more, knocking at the door. "Hey, open up! We did it!" As one would probably guess, Damian was the one saying this.
Opening the door, Earl was shocked. Not that they lived, but nobody had a scratch on them.
'How strange these people are.' You never knew what you would get with adventurers, especially low ranking ones. It was good seeing these one were competent, especially for f ranks.
"Are you okay?" Chase said, seeing that the elder looked somewhat stuck. "O-oh it's nothing, come in." The man quickly smiled, shaking off his shock. He moved back, allowing the group inside.
"You can stay in any of the rooms in the hallway. As thanks for helping us finally create something in the midst of all this destruction."
Donnie was curious of something however.
"If you were in trouble, you seem to be a low end noble, why not ask the king or other nobles for help?"
"You think those elites care about us?!?
Noble as I may seem, if you're not wealthy enough, they don't even look at you. Not to mention still having to pay tithes to the royal family…" the old man's face scrunched and he talked as if his neck was being stabbed by needles.
Chase and Listened more intently, in the future if he were to survive and get strong enough, he too would have to come across this type of person.
"And with this goblin menace at our back door, we have even less money. My hands were tied, and my military destroyed. Thank the gods you arrived when you did. Keep this up and get some rest, you're already boosting the morale of the people. Tomorrow we take the village back."
Chase quickly took in this information. He had seen holy magic was real and had to come from somewhere. Allegedly there were multiple gods that people prayed to that fell under the holy umbrella.
'I'll also probably have to be wary of the holy church as well. This place just keeps getting interesting and dangerous.' Smiling, Chase commented. "Thank you for your hospitality. I would like to pick a room"
"Go on ahead, I was just about to go upstairs myself."
"What are you rushing for?" Andrew was liking his new powers and felt like Chase had gotten something new he wasn't telling. "None ya business" Chase said, sprinting to the first room on the left.
