Arcanum - Chapter 69

Chapter 69






Waking up and getting dressed I happily made my way down knowing that everything at home is going great .

"Morning Emilia!" Helen greeted me .

"Morning! Everyone" I greeted everyone noticing I always seem to be the last one out .

"Wearing the robe again? . . " Jay asked .

"Hell yeah! You don't understand how much I've wanted to wear wizard robes!" I replied to his comment on my dress sense .

"Robes aren't worn where you come from? . . " Daisy asked as we made our way for breakfast .

"Nope . . . . we just wear ordinary clothes . . . . like coats, T shirts, Trousers and stuff . . " I answered her .

"No armours? . . " She asked looking confused at me .

"Yeah… . why not at least wear leather armour . . . " Grace added .

"Nope none . . . not really a need for it . . . . " I replied .

"But what if you get into a fight? . . . " Helen asked looking slightly worried .

" . . . . . What you mean? . . " I asked looking confused back at them .

"You know . . . . when you anger someone they pull a weapon on you . . . so armour should be worn . . . . " Grace explained .

"Ohhhh weapons are prohibited in public where I come from . . . " I replied .

"But But . . . how do you defend yourself? . . . " Grace asked thoroughly confused .

"There's police to deal with disputes . . . . . " I answered .





"But what if a giant attacks you? Or wyverns… . Or goblins… . ?? . . . " She asked .

" . . . . We don't have monsters where we come from . . . . maybe animals like lions and tigers . . . but they aren't in cities . " I answered her .

"No monsters at all? . . " grace asked .

"None . . . . zero . . . " i answered .

" . . . That must be so weird . . . . " She replied .

" . . . . . It's normal . . . " I smiled back .

" . . . . Okay . . . " she replied taking a seat for breakfast .

"So . . . What should we do today . . . " Jay asked .

"Yeah . . . either we go to the Hunters guild to see if there are any bounties we can handle . . . . Or we go to the notice board and see if there is anything the city needs help with . " Daisy asked .

"Well whatever we decide . . . Me and Grace Needs to head back and collect our weapons . " They replied while eating their food .

"I think we should start with the notice board . . . . probably do some menial work . . . . " Jay suggested .

"I want to do something exciting!" I said my childhood fantasies getting the better of me .

"Hunters guild it is . . . " Daisy replied with a giant smile .

"I don't think that's a great idea . . . " Jay commented .

"You're always too cautious . . . . where is your sense of adventure?!" Daisy replied .

"Last time we had a mini adventure… we got blasted but a protection rune…" He commented .





"Ahh everything turned out fine!" she smile disregarding his statement .

"I'm sure we can have an exciting adventure without risking our lives . " Grace added .

"Well . . . I guess three votes beats one . . . " Jay begrudgingly agreed .


Finishing up our breakfast we and made our way back to the dorm rooms waiting outside for Grace and Helen to retrieve their weapons .

"Is it me or its getting slightly colder? . . " I asked .

"Yeah Its late summer soon . . . it will be early Autumn soon . . . so its gonna get slightly colder and more windy . . . " Daisy answered .

"I see . . . . . " I replied .

Jay remained silent reading his spell book, "What you looking at Jay? . . . " I asked .

"Ahhh just spells I want to remember . " He answered me .

"Ohhh I see . . . . . " I replied .

"Sorry for the wait good to go now!" Grace and Helen said quickly making their way back, both of them not dressed with a beautifully ornate leather vests embedded with patterns all along the edges fastened with three buckles along one side over their shirts .

"Let's go!" Daisy yelled loudly leading the way barely able to contain her excitement .

Making to our way to the world tree, there was a huge crowd standing around a small kiosk with the occasional flashes of blue lights . "I guess we need to go there . . . " Jay said closing his spell book and placing them in his robe .

Slowly we made our way closer to the kiosk . "Hey! Where would you like to go?!" A female student at the kiosk asked us as we arrived at the kiosk .

"Tripola please!" Helen asked .





"Okay sure… . how many of you and what year? . . . " She asked us .

Turning around counting us to make sure, "Five please! Year one . " she answered her .

"Okay . . . . " She answered Helen and quickly took out a dashboard flipping through some sheets, "Tripola is safe right now so it'll be fine . . . . . Keep these trackers on at all time!" she said to use handing us five bands of leather .

"Sure thank you!" Helen answered .

The student at the kiosk typed something on a computer causing a blue portal to suddenly open, "Please step through . " She said .

"Thank you!" Helen replied with a giant smile and walked through the portal the rest of us following her also thanking the student .

"Take care . " she replied to us watching us depart .

Arriving back at Tipola, it looked as if repairs to the city was still underway form the Wyvern attack . Several buildings still having scaffolding set up and noticeable damage still on some structures . The town still busy as ever with several different races and animals all living and walking in unison .

"So Hunters guild right? . . " Daisy asked .

"Yeah . . . but I still think it's a bad idea . . " Jay answered her .

"Stop being so pessimistic!" Helen replied to his comment .

"This way then!" Daisy said leading the way .

"Umm do you guys think we need anything? . . " I asked . As we passed what seemed to be the market district noticing a huge abundance of people crowding around open stalls and shop fronts .

"Lets see what bounty we accept first before we buy supplies . " Grace answered .

"Ahhh okay . . . " I replied sill looking around in wonder and awe .

Eventually we arrived what seemed to be a business district, the shops here being noticeably larger than those in the market with zero stalls but there were far less people . Larger premium real estate looing extremely clean and extravagant, with the occasional carriages carrying individuals to certain shops .

One wide gentleman stepped out the carriage wearing extremely wealthy looking clothing adorned head to toe in golden jewellery, walking into a shop front being welcomed by two very beautiful young women dressed in very revealing clothing flaunting their hourglass figure . They welcomed him wrapping one arm around each of his sides giving his butt a squeeze and kissing him on his neck entering the building with giant smiles and giggles .

"That's called the house of Lady Favours . . . . . " Grace said noticing me watch them .

"Lady favours? . . " I asked turning to her looking puzzled .

"Yeah . . . . Gentleman go there to ask Ladies for Favours in exchange for money . . . . " She chuckled .

"OHHHHHH I see!!! . . . " Instantly looking disgusted at the building as we passed it .

Further on another building caught my eye, the interior lit up with a very mystic looking glow, the shop having various potions of all sorts of colours on display as well as weapons and armour . The shop keeper looking very busy counting stock wearing what I would consider a very standard wizard outfit wearing a pointy wide brimmed hat and a long blue and golden robe .

"This is a magic shops right? . . " I asked the group after we walked past it .

"Yup that's a shop that specialises on magical weapons armour and potions . " Jay answered me .

"Magic weapons and armours? . . " I asked slightly confused .

"Some armours are magically enchanted to be sturdier . . . . . Resistant to types of damage . . . . and for weapons they could be enchanted with special magical properties . . . " Helen explained .

"Ohhh i see . " I nodded understanding .

"Ohhh we've finally arrived!" Daisy yelled in excitement pointing at a large wooden building in front of us .

"It looks like an ordinary building . . . . " I said looking at the building Daisy pointed at .

"Trust me it's this one!" I she replied to me question .

Arriving at the entrance Daisy pushed the large double doors open revealing a very busy tavern or bar, filled with many people and parties . "Lets get a table!" Daisy said as we entered .

The people here are defiantly more diverse then in the market somehow there were more races here . There were Humans that stood only half or a third the height of a normal human, humans, elves, Tieflings but oddly red in colour and not blue . . . . . Two Dragonborns and one beautiful young woman who was at least 6ft tall with pearlescent white hair .

"EMILIA!!!" A familiar female voice shouted out to me over the ambient noise of the tavern .
