chapter 12 The village

Leasa summoned two tree golems to fight the two Lich in the front . So I went for the guy in the back . I hit him with my dagger and he shattered. I was surprised about how easily he was killed .The other two who were killed by leasas golems . She said it was surprising to see only two of them since they normally travel in groups  . Then all of a sudden twenty more came out of the woods . But i did not fill in the mood to fight them so i did what all men would do and ran . I was running for like ten minutes and we lost them . and of course, Leasa called me lazy for running instead of fighting . Then she apologised to me saying sorry master . I told her not to call me that and that it was fine to talk to me like that because we're friends .

She said ok and we headed on with our day . After about an hour of walking we came across an inn . so we stop in to eat and stay the night . The innkeeper was a nice guy. He gave us food and a place to sleep for a good price . After we finished eating we headed to bed . the next morning i got upland headed on my way once i got to the road i realized that leasa was not with me . so i went back to the inn and found leasa in her room sleeping still .  I woke her up and she thanked me . i said i was just glad she wasn't at the end of my bed . she laughed and then said if i don't like it then she won't  do it anymore .

After leasa got ready we headed down the road on the way to the village we were going to be traveling for about two to three hours and then we will arrive, leasa said . i'm sorry that i lied to but the real reason she brought me here was to get me to protect her village again that more bandits had  come and they were stronger she said she was looking for someone to train her so she could protect her village that's why she went to the tournament but she said she had realized that she did not have a lot  time to train her that she needed help as soon as people and i was the only person she could look to .

Then she said if I wanted to go back that she would understand . but i stayed because if i have the ability to save people in need then i will even if i have to risk my life. Then she started crying and thanked me for helping her even knowing she had lied to me . So after that we heard on our way to the village . after about an hour we made it and i could tell instantly that they had recognized me but they seemed scared and sad at the same time i went to talk to them and i asked were the little girl that i talked to last time was they said the bandits killed her along with her family to prove that they were serious . he said the bandits said they would do the same to any how disobey him . but i couldn't pay attention because i was furious they killed a little girl that had so much more to live for she was kind and he killed her just to prove a point .

For that i will punish them because now this is personal . I told everyone how I lived in the village that I would protect them no matter what happens to me . After that I asked around for some info on the bandits but the only things I got were that he comes everyday to make sure we are doing our jobs . And they had to give all of their profits to the bandits . they said he already came today so there's no need to worry about them today i thanked them for there info and went to find a hiding spot for tomorrow because i don't fit in with the gnomes because of what they were and most of them are small except royal gnome they are the same size of humans . but they don't live on the worker side of the village and royals are always stuck up people .

So I doubt they would want someone like me hanging out with them. I found a good spot in the trees to hideout and wait for the bandits . indeed up falling asleep in the tree . i guess i was more tired than i thought once i woke up the gnomes were just getting up . so it was a perfect time for me to get ready . I was sitting in the tree waiting for the bandits . While doing that I realized how hard the gnomes work. They were farming, mining buildings and black smithing . That was a lot of work for normal people but the gnomes . use these powers to make it way easier . then all of a sudden the bandits were there . and before i could even see it one of them managed to get behind me . I jumped back and the bandit said did I surprise you . Then he ran up to me and kicked me out of the tree and then all of the bandits surrounded me. There were four of them. They all wore pitch black clothes and masks so it was hard to tell them apart but they all had a number on the right corner of their chest . The numbers were one, two ,three and four . number one was the one behind me . They all surrounded me and they had no weapons and then number four shot a crystal at me. I dodged it then number three summoned a stone golem and he went inside of it. Number two covered his body in lightning and made a sword of lightning too . and number one ran straight in front of me extremely fast i could barely see him move then he punched me in the gut and i went flying i slammed into a building
