Probation
When I woke up it was noon. I felt more relaxed, and I felt that everything that had happened was just a dream. I would like to go back and spend time with my friends. I have to find them soon. They may be in danger; I have to become a magician if I want to find them.
I get up strongly and first I dress. I pick up my bag and backpack. The garbage I earn from the bandits, I put it in a cloth bag to throw away.
When I'm going down the stairs, I meet some children. When they see me they get scared and run terrified. I must raise my charm and I will need help with this.
When I arrived at the door of the chapel, Sister Liz was already waiting for me.
Sister Liz: "Mark, what will you do with the slaves?"
"Sister Liz, I want to free you. But as you know some have turned crimes, if I do I could attack others. I hope you can receive some, I will also give you a donation so that it will not be a problem in the short term. "
Sister Liz: "I understand. Mark, what are you going to do with all these things? "
"I still do not know, sister, I'm not a merchant. Maybe I'll have problems if I go to the city with so many things. "
Sister Liz: "When you go to a church you can make a voluntary donation. This is received by the goddess herself, and she uses it to give missions at important moments. Surely you received one to help us. In the kingdom of the gods, they receive our prayers and offerings. On that depends their power and the reward they offer "
Ah then there is a god who wants to destroy my soul. Because things always come out that way, they should be more understanding with me. Maybe I can give what I have to the water goddess when I get to church. I will also give to the mother goddess, because of her mission I was able to win all this.
Well walking to the camp. I see that the children of the orphanage looked at the slave children. Maybe they saw themselves reflected. Well this has to be fixed.
In my backpack, there was the space bracelet. An article of special use of merchants. They cannot have objects, but they can have business documents. Here are all the contracts of the slaves. So I was able to check which were criminals and which were not.
Starting with men; There were 2 humans, 2 beasts and an orc. And only humans were criminals. Then release the 3 non-humans, but with one condition.
"Listen to me, you three, even if I wanted to free you completely. Since I have not registered in the merchants' guild, I cannot. So, I'll give you probation. They should live in the chapel and protect it, take care of the nuns and children here. If they leave, they will have to follow them and take care of them. May the mother goddess welcome you. "
After telling them that, I released them. Even though they are still my slaves, they can have a life. I have to leave some weapons and armor.
Then the women came; there were 4 humans, 3 beasts, a dwarf and an elf. All are very beautiful, although it seems that they are a little mistreated. They must have suffered a lot, all of them have been captured and forced to be slaves. I want to leave them all here in the church.
"All of you will also be free under condition, just as others will be able to live in the church. May the mother goddess welcome you. "
When I was about to release them, some did not approach me.
Elfa: "I was captured far away from here; I would prefer that you allow me to follow you. You seem to be a good person. If the opportunity comes, I hope to see my homeland again. "
Dwarf: "The same thing happens with me; I no longer have a family. I hope I can get some home by following him. "
Beast Girl: "I think I will bring problems if I stay. I want to travel with you "
The 3 did not want to stay and decided to follow me. If I release them, they will become my followers.
"Well the others will stay here, they are free. Take care of yourselves and protect yourself. "
Then there were the children. What can I say about them? All were kidnapped from their homes, or orphaned. I will leave you all here in the church, I hope you can grow up safe and sound. There were 6 children; 2 humans, 2 beasts and 2 orcs.
After releasing them, I found out that the 3 Orcs were the last of their village. I hope you can take care of yourself.
Well now that I get rid of them I only have 5 slaves. That's better than 20.
Now it's time to check the earnings. First, the arms trunk, when I opened it, I was shocked. Although it did not seem very big, there were 40 different weapons inside. Swords, axes, spears, clubs, shields and bows. All of very good quality, checking with the system were all white.
Although there were some blue, there was only one green. That was a thin long sword. When I tried to use it, it was very difficult. Apart from the lack of attributes, I do not have good sword management either.
In the end I picked up a short battle sword. Now I have 2 swords.
--------------------------
Short battle sword (white)
Attack: 12-17 Durability: 25/25
--------------------------
Call the men who released and the two beastmen already had equipment and weapons, as they acted as escorts did not need to give them something. As for the orc I gave him the big sword, but I use it with only one hand. So, I also gave him the club.
The girls came up and asked me to arm to defend themselves. Although I do not think I should give them, they felt insecure and exposed. Checking between things, there were gray weapons in the object boxes. Let each one choose the weapon that they like the most.
Opening the trunk of clothing, inside there were many different sets. Villager, warrior, hunting, soldier, noble clothes, etc. The most beautiful was the set of nobles, but if I use it without being so I may have problems. Not to attract attention I chose a set of warriors, according to the girls it is more common for people who travel a lot. I wanted to give the orc a suit, but he had none left. So I gave him the merchant's clothes. That did fit.
------------------------------
Warrior shirt (grade: white)
Armor: 3 Durability: 15/15
Warrior trousers (grade: white)
Armor: 3 Durability: 15/15
-------------------------------
The girls almost went crazy when they saw the trunk of clothes; before they started looting I gave them the villager's clothes; each one has different designs and different colors.
Now touch the armor. Looking at the 2 trunks, there was a variety of equipment. Common and specialized equipment. Different classes need different statesmen. As a magician, leave the magician's team separate. When I tried to equip it I felt very strange, and the system warned me that if I do not use my own class equipment it could explode.
Well the boys were all guards and the orc a hunter. I leave leather breastplates, some wristbands and good boots. And ready they were all equipped. Now it's my turn to equip myself. I took away everything I had just by staying with the clothes of a warrior.
I chose a set of sane scaled (blue). It came with a coat, thighs, gloves, boots, shoulder pads, wristbands, helmet and belt. But when I equipped it, I could not move.
They are so weak; I have to train the best I can. In the end only use leather, boots, wristbands and shoulder pads. Do not use the belt, because I have the tool belt. And the helmet, the thighs and the gloves are annoying.
------------------------------
Scaled leather coat (blue)
Armor: 15 Durability: 30/30
Scaled leather wrist bands (blue)
Armor: 7 Durability: 25/25
Shoulder pads of scaled leather (blue)
Armor: 7 Durability: 25/25
Scaled leather boots (blue)
Armor: 9 Durability: 30/30
Effect: -5% phatic when walking or running
----------------------------------------
When I finish equipping myself, I keep everything inside. Each thing where it corresponds by qualities and now touch the accessories. When opening this box I am amazed. Inside were many necklaces, tiaras, earrings, bracelets, badges and rings.
Many of them well decorated with gems, others only gold and silver. Examining all, almost none had properties. There was only one silver ring with a greenish-floral design, which had one more charm. With how much I needed. I left everything I was wearing and put on this ring and the space bracelet. Without forgetting my water badge, I put it on my chest with pride.
Then, there was not much to look for. Exchange my bag for the one of the merchant that was bigger.
--------------------------------------
Merchant bag (medium) (18 kg) (blue)
Durability: 25/35
Effect: 20% weight reduction. Ignore weight of coins (12 kilograms).
--------------------------------------
Thanks to this bag, free me of so much weight on top. I cannot use the merchant's glass until I register with the guild. Then try, examine the mysterious statue.
--------------------------------------
Sculpture of the twin goddesses of the water Zola and Zara (violet)
An exquisite sculpture made in the best era of water wizards. When they dominated the continent, all the creatures lived in peace.
Effect: Unknown
--------------------------------------
Wow, this is awesome. After analyzing it with the system, the sculpture became very beautiful. These two girls are very beautiful, as I would like to meet them in person.
In the end it is the best. The personal chest of the fat man, but this thing is closed. Try to open it, but do not move. When I ask the girls they tell me it's closed with magic. In the academy I will find something to open it.
After reviewing everything. It had been night. And we all went to rest, tomorrow we will leave.
After waking up, I ordered the two men to disarm the camp. Well now that everything was ready, I went to say goodbye to Sister Liz.
"Sister Liz, it was a pleasure to meet you. Before leaving I would like to make an offering to the great mother. "
Sister Liz: "Mark, you know the way. Move on."
Walking through the chapel, I remember that the bodies of the bandits must be here. But everything is very clean. As if nothing happened last.
Without asking anything, get to the prayer room. I walked to the altar and put 5 silver rings, a silver necklace, a silver earring and 50 silver coins. After closing your eyes listen for the beep.
[You have improved your relationship: +10 Church of the great mother Xery]
Whenever they want me, it's good.
Going out I saw all the children playing, the nuns and the girls talking. While the men stood guard. I went to where Sister Liz.
"Sister, it's time to leave, so come with me to the wagons. Call everyone. "
When they arrived, I asked the men to leave 2 boxes of ingredients and materials; this will help them to survive everyone (inside there is food, herbs, leather, cloth, etc.) and a box of objects (here there are things of daily use, kitchen utensils, some clothes and weapons). Along with that, I left you the bandit's horse, in case you needed to hunt.
Before leaving. I gave them 5 gold coins, and I asked them to take good care of themselves.
Following the map of the system, it will take a day to reach Meet Town. I will travel in the carriage with the girls, while the men carry the two carts.
To continue my way to the magical academy, a lot is missing. But now the road has become easier. Together with the slaves I no longer feel so alone and worried.
Although I still remember that yesterday I killed 6 people. To live I must do everything necessary, but I will never abandon my humanity.
