CHAPTER 18: THE KILLER IS KIDNAPPED

Two months after arriving at TENAR and pretending to be a beggar, Francis found himself somewhat bored; Although in TENAR I actually hear a lot of interesting gossip that ranged from things like the rebellion of the KA-O empire to the infidelity of the baker's wife with a guard, as well as a child who they said had prophet powers and they were going to burn…

So while thinking about the missions, Francis decided to return to TENSER in TERRARIA; but not long after leaving TENAR he actually ran into desert bandits and before he knew it he was surrounded, on purpose, of course.

(Since the money comes rushing to your door it would be unnatural to leave it where it is) Francis thought to himself.

After surrounding him on horseback the desert bandits showed their swords "hands up, get down" said the leader.

The poor beggar obeyed, the men found it strange that having a Warcraft Lion he did not try to resist and seemed more scared, although his clothes did not seem valuable, but the mask and the Lion was by no means common so They decided to take him away, perhaps he was the son of some nobleman who ran away from home.

Francis stayed 2 days to confirm the situation of the bandits; but it turns out that there were no forces behind them, it was simply a group of bandits who robbed and sometimes also killed travelers to loot them and spent on wine and women so there was actually nothing really valuable with them.

A little disappointed Francis blew them to pieces and after feeding the lion and the little black snake they continued on their way to TENSER, after two weeks of travel he finally reached the building where the tea house was located, but there were no signs of number 2 , so the next day he finally went to the base to look for a mission; there were many missions for officials of Ka-O the empire where the coup by one of the emperor's sons had occurred.

But Francis didn't want to get involved so he chose one in the SHART empire; maybe there's windfall, Francis thought.

As a mercenary and arms dealer for more than 30 years and a murderer for more than 15 years, intuition based on experience really pays off; The objective of the mission, although he seemed a very taciturn man and although rich, he was not too luxurious because he knew how to hide his wealth well, he actually had a space object in his ears.

Although it was only full of gold and jewels and in the mansion there were no magic books, this discovery alone was worth the effort, although space devices were not rare in TATEM in MORTALIS they were quite scarce, and there was no way to identify them without linking them so stealing them was a difficult task.

Francis was able to get one now everything is based on intuition and luck, in the previous 15 years it is not that he did not try to buy one on the black market, it is that just nobody offered them.
