Chapter 27: Quest 25- Bandits

Camping out under the clear night sky of the desert the merchant and Cirrus were enjoying the tranquility of the scene.

“…Say kid can I ask you something?” the merchant asked.

“Sure what is it?”
“You’re an adventurer right? You have those weapons on you and Lord Poseidon asked for my help?”

“…That I am.”

“Then…what brings you here? Most adventures of Orario stay within the city to explore the dungeon.”

“Merchant…can I pay you to not ask such questions?”

“My apologies! I did not know that was a sensitive topic.”

“Its fine, I’m sure your curious as to why a child such as I is traveling to Varga.”

“A bit yes.”

“Then can I give you some advice?” Cirrus said looking at the merchant.

“S-sure?”

“When conducting business its best to ask some questions before accepting, once accepted the client and seller are now associated with one another whether its good or bad.”

“….” The merchant has a drop of sweat come down his brow. “I-is this bad…”

A smile appears on Cirrus’s face.

“No, but I will tell you this, I am after criminals. Anymore than that and you will need to keep watch over your shoulder.”

“Phew…” the merchant took a breath of relief. “I’ll do my best to not look further into it.”

“If it makes you feel any better once this is done, I’m sure Lord Poseidon will count on you and a reliable source of income is extremely precious to a traveling merchant such as you.”

“Fuhahahah!!! You should have said that from the beginning!! Ill take you anywhere kid!!”

‘Not the first merchant to tell me that.’

With the conversation at its end they could hear sounds at a distance.

“Shit its bandits! Hey kid have you ever-“

“I have.” Cirrus gets up and draws his sword. “Get inside the carriage.”

The merchant quickly gets in the carriage.

The sounds get closer and closer until finally jumping from a dune, a wooden boat came out with runners on the bottom to let it slide across the sand.

The group of 3 boats surrounded the camp, Cirrus could make few of the people, one of which was the boy he punched along with some elves.

They made their scene and settled down stopping around the end of the campfire. Down came an average man with brown skin and a tattooed left arm.

“You the kid that punched my little bro?” he said with his hand on his scimitar.

Cirrus looked around and all of them had weapons and were ready to draw.

“I am, he wouldn’t leave well enough alone so I taught him a lesson he should have taken more to heart.”

“Kukukuk…tell me kid are you an adventure?”

“I am.”

“Good well you should know that I’m level 2! I made it without help from a dungeon! So if you give me all of your stuff and let my little bro punch you, we’ll think of leaving you with some water!”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

The group laughed out loud.

“…Ugh so fucking annoying.” Cirrus takes out his wand and holds it with his index finger and thumb.

“What? a stick!? KAKAKAKA!!” shouted the boy. “What can you do with a stick!!”

A grin appeared on Cirrus faces, his magic circled appeared behind Cirrus and the sudden realization dawned on the elves who powered the ship.

“He’s a mage!!!!” they shouted.

“(Exousía, Adorn: Ceryneian)!!”

It was to late for them, the armor quickly enveloped Cirrus, he placed his wand back onto a strap and quickly covered the distance between him and the leader.

“!!”

“I’m level 3.”

Shing!!

It was if time had stood still for the bandits as they could see Faruk’s head fall through the air.

Spurt!!

Before the head or even body could fall to the sands Cirrus was already drawing more blood. By the time they regained their reason Cirrus had already cut down more than half of their group.

Wanting to get answers he cut down 2 of their boats sails, when he turned to the bandits their legs gave out and fear had taken them.

“Haaa~…I really wanted to sleep.” Cirrus turns towards the remaining bandits. “Answer me this, how did you get these ships?”

“V-v-Vritra Familia!!!” shouted one of the bandits.

“Y-yeah they told us to rob people!!” said another.

“T-t-they forced us to convert!!” said another.

“…I see…well leave, should I find you again ill be sure to cut your fucking tongue and make you eat them, tell anyone of the Vritra Familia about this and ill be sure to kill you all as painfully as I can, understood!!!”

Despite his child voice Cirrus managed to intimidate the bandits as they all quickly scrambled to the last boat and sail off.

 

As Cirrus see’s them off riding off back to Ukhara he walks back to the campfire and disengages his armor.

“….fuck….”

His stomach began to turn but Cirrus did his best to hold it down when the merchant came and patted his back.

“Its fine…they were bandits, I’m sure they robbed and killed many before.”

“Yeah…your right but…that doesn’t mean killing is any easier.”

“…I will dispose of the bodies you go on and sleep.”

“…Alright.”

As the merchant disposes of the bodies in the desert Cirrus goes into the carriage and closes his eyes, when he does, he remembers Briareus.

‘Seems it’ll be a restless night…again.’
