CHAPTER 17: THE KILLER IS BLIND

After returning, Francis and number 2 returned to the building where the brothel was located, which after the renovations became a tea house with a delicious restaurant, the waitresses were still beauties.

After arriving, number 2 proceeded to upholster the ceiling, floor and walls with the skin of the Fretz, while Francis simply watched as he sighed to himself "magic is really good"

After that Francis went to organize a place for the pride of lions and later he came back to the laboratory of number 2; I put the little snake under his cape and he started to practice condensing letters in the air, the power of the explosions is really scary, in case the enemy uses said power he will probably burn my eyes, so I order a few pairs of mithrill masks, but if you want to protect the eyes the only way would be to cover them.

But that would leave me like a blind man, thought Francis, although maybe it would be a good option to try to feel the energy; it was not impossible to see based on the surrounding energy; but mastering such a technique would take years.

So Francis went to take the task first, after starting to practice energy condensation making explosions was even easier than talking, with this kind of power he could easily rise to experienced assassin, but Francis preferred to wait.

After returning from the mission, Francis wrote to him telling number 2 his intentions, he took the little snake, a bag of money and jewels, he put on the mithrill mask and after 2 days of getting used to the darkness he took his lion and marched.

ZENAR was the neighboring country, most of it was desert and jungle so Francis headed there, for a blind survival training while trying to feel the surrounding energy, the little black snake was smart so it was a great help.

After a week if someone spotted Francis he would look like a beggar on the road with a mask on his face, not to mention that if you want to find food in the desert, birds are your first choice, but since you can't see you can only dig up insects and eat them while trying to throw explosions where you think there is life.

Although life in the desert is hard; at least they weren't so lonely as there was a small snake and a lion that brought some meat from time to time. After 3 weeks we could say that Francis really got used to being blind and could faintly feel the surrounding energy.

If any of the magisters on the other continent TATEM knew of his progress, he would probably open a bleeding competition for him to become his disciple.

So Francis riding a lion took the time to fix his appearance a bit and take a bath on the way and began to walk the roads of ZENAR, a month of twists and turns finally arrived in the capital TENAR, but the style of this country was somewhat more stuck than the other places, even the capital TENAR just seemed like a big town.

He found an alley and along with a lion he leaned against the wall, perhaps because of his own bad taste he put a can in front of him, and concentrated on trying to feel the energy of the people passing by.

MORTALIS is a place where beggars don't have a good time, but maybe when they saw the fat lion at their side, no one really dared to do something wrong.

Francis Deminov was not a kind man to people or himself, but he would not treat his pets badly so every day when the sun barely rose; he would buy delicious food for the lion and the black snake.

But 2 days later the black snake saw that Francis actually refused to eat with them and ate black bread that people were throwing away he refused to eat more, after a week the black snake was still not eating even though Francis could feel that maybe he was very hungry.

So if he finally opened his lips and pronounced "you win" or that is what it would have sounded if he could speak; After stroking the snake they came to a restaurant and ordered take out food, after returning to the alley they ate until they were full.
