chapter 16 suspicious people I've been poisoned

Basil's perspective

a few weeks have passed since me and my brother Rudy have been teaching Eris and ghislaine. Eris has a hard time getting motivated even with the reward of being able to take adventuring jobs. so to remedy that I have ghislaine tell stories about how hard it was for her to be an adventure with the lack of basic knowledge of Reading writing and arithmetic and that worked like a charm.

when we did take adventuring jobs there were nothing glamorous. they were mostly missing pets babysitting children or other menial tasks. Eris was complaining that the quests were too easy. I would scold her and tell her that you have to start off with somewhere. keep working at it and then soon we will be able to take more fun jobs. apparently the monster slaying jobs start at rank D. we just have to upgrade once right before we can start taking them.

I'm still making and selling toys figures and magic scrolls. making pretty good money on it even Seros is impressed with my work. I made a figure of ghislaine and showed it to her she was quite flattered.

training with ghislaine is fun a lot better teacher than Dad was. I preferred sparring with ghislaine over Rudy and Eris because I could only beat ghislaine two out of 10 times. Rudy and Eris couldn't beat me while working together I even allowed Rudy to use his magic. they just didn't stand a chance against me. ghislaine was quite impressed with my training magical implements. I also started training Eris in the north god style. although ghislaine was against it at first I managed to convince her that it was a good idea by saying that it would prepare her if her enemy started fighting dirty.

as me Rudy and Eris we're heading in to clean up after training. we ran into a fat bald man who looked more like a pig than a human he was talking to one of the butlers named Thomas. I didn't care for Thomas too much he gave me bad vibes when I look him in the eyes and when I use my sixth sense ability. the fat man I don't even need my sixth sense ability to tell that he's up to no good. despite my best effort he sees us and walks over when he spots Eris he starts giving off this really creepy grin sort of reminds me of Rudy's grin but this fat man's is much more sinister. it's to the point that it's making Eris uncomfortable. he stops us on our way to get cleaned up and introduces himself with a nobleman's bow and it says I get in front of Eris and perform the nobleman's bow Darius didn't seem to Happy with me stepping in front of Eris. I then introduce myself after I said that me and Darius locked eyes I could tell that he and Thomas were plotting something I don't know what but I'll have to give ghislaine a warning to watch out for them. as Darius went to say something he was interrupted by Seros which gave us the excuse to leave.

after I got cleaned up it was time for dinner. because I was Eris's fiance I got to eat dinner with the family my brother had to eat with the servants. poor ghislaine had to watch us eat. while we were eating I decided to bring up my sixth Sense ability and my feelings about Darius and Thomas. seros says I think him for listening to my concerns. Philip looks at me and says I gave a little chuckle in reply and all Phillips said to that what I see.

as I was heading to my room for the night I felt strange my body felt really sluggish and heavy for some reason and I couldn't focus then I realized I was poisoned and I immediately tried to use detoxification magic and when I was about to use it I felt a sharp pain in my head and then everything went dark.

Thomas's perspective

that was close I forgot that he could use detox magic I'm glad the drug seemed to work I thought to myself as I was tying up basil Eris and Rudy. bags of gold are dancing in my Head. Darius wanted Eris for his perverted desires and wants basil to watch. and once he's done with basil he's going to let me sell him off to some perverted Noble with his hair and looks he's going to fetch a real nice price. I just have to make sure that my accomplices keep basil drugged up or there could be trouble. good thing I also managed to drug ghislaine because of that I'll have no trouble sneaking kids out of here and giving them to my contact. I snuck around the city and went to the rendezvous point. where my contact came to collect the children. my contact is man in his 30 bald head well built and a North Saint named Orion. I handed him the sleeping drug and told him to and handed him five bottles. the Orion laughs at me and says I just shake my head and said he laughs and says I watched as they started loading them up in your cart and I watched as they rode off and all I could think about was the prophets I was going to make from this.
