An unexpected acquaintance
Returning to the room, Andrei went up to the table and examined the fangs that he pulled out from the dead newly converted bloodsuckers.
To his surprise, he did not lose more than one fangs, as well as a strange medallion lying next to the fangs.
Starting to think where to put them, he again came to the conclusion that it remains only to put them in his pockets.
Putting them down, Andrei glanced at the blood-drenched book and the sword that lay next to the bed.
It can be seen that he was brought when he spoke with Aliya, he did not remember that he was here when he left to speak with her.
Picking it up, the sound of a blade being drawn was heard around the room. Looking at him and his cracks, Andrei grimaced, imagining how much a new blade would cost.
He was pleased that in the clothes he was now wearing there was a belt and the ability to hang a blade on his belt so as not to hold it in his hands.
Placing it on the right side of his thigh and picking up the book, he left the room. To the surprise of the young man, the same servant who took him to Aliya was standing in front of him.
Looking around the young man, the servant nodded and silently led him towards the door, the young man could only follow him. Once in front of the door, the servant once again glanced at Andrei and opened the door.
- We leave in two days to return to the capital, if you choose to accept Milady Alia's offer. You need to come back as soon as possible. - The servant spoke in a calm voice, looking into Andrey's eyes.
The young man wanted to say that he had accepted milady's invitation, but sometimes he thought it better to remain silent.
- Okay, can you tell me which way is Sholein village? - Andrey asked, when he came out of the door and found himself on the street, he smelled a pleasant smell from the rain.
He loved this smell and was surprised that the developers managed to convey it the same way as in real life. Without realizing it, the young man smiled, turning to the servant, he saw surprise at his behavior.
- You must follow the road leading from here and when you come to the fork turn left and do not turn anywhere further. - Lulf answered with a tone of surprise.
Thanking the servant, the young man headed down the road, looking around, he saw that the ground was still wet under his soles.
Walking to the village, Andrey was thinking about what to buy with the money he received. The main things to buy were a blade and backpack, provisions and most importantly for him was a map.
He understood that he needed a map of this kingdom so that he could travel around it. The young man did not plan to stay in the capital for a long time, his main goal was to learn as much as possible about the world and how to study magic here.
He was uncomfortable with the fact that he was unable to cast the spell. He was also alarmed by the fact that in the task he accepted and completed, the monsters did not use spells.
He remembered that the assignment stated that they owned magic and had the ability to cast spells. But if they didn't have spells, doesn't that mean spells were hard to get in this game?
If this is true, then the young men wondered if Aliya and this servant possessed magic? In their behavior, he did not notice anything that showed that they owned some kind of magic.
Immersed in his thoughts, he went to the fork of which the servant spoke. Remembering the words of the servant, he turned to the left, and he began to come across both carriages and lone travelers.
Looking at the road, he was surprised to find that the road was paved with large slabs, along which carriages drove. He also had to walk along the road and hopes that he will not be hit by a horseman or carriage.
Carriages with wagons moved before the eyes of the young man, he did not know how far it was to the village, but he hoped that it was not very far.
He often had to retreat into the grass so that he would not be hit by carriages and splashed with water from the puddles that were visible on the slabs.
Continuing on his way, he heard something moving in his back and deciding to move away, stepping aside, he watched as a carriage drove past him.
Preparing to move on, Andrey was surprised to find that the cart was slowing down.
The young man considered that the person sitting in the carriage wanted to stretch his legs, perhaps after a long trip. Coming closer, he saw the door open and the figure of a young man emerge from the door.
- Good afternoon, where are you going on foot? - I heard a young voice of a man from the carriage.
Andrei was surprised that the one who was riding in the carriage turned to him, examining him, the young man noticed that the guy in front of him looked young.
He had short blond hair, a handsome face for a young man. He had no doubt that with time, the young man in front of him would attract the attention of girls.
In his eyes, Andrei saw a cheerful gleam characteristic of all young people. He was dressed in simple clothes, a cloak that could be seen on the sides, a gray jacket and black pants.
- Good afternoon, I'm heading to the village of Sholein. - Andrew replied in a polite tone.
He did not know who was in front of him, so it was stupid of him to act stupid and try to provoke a conflict from scratch.
- Interestingly, few people dare to walk, let's give you a lift to this village. - The young man spoke in a cheerful voice.
Andrei shrugged his shoulders, it was only more convenient for him if he got to the city faster. Agreeing to the proposal of the young man, the young damned angel climbed into the carriage and examined with interest the arrangement of the carriage.
In his country, carriages had long passed into the past, they were used only for weddings or as a children's attraction in some park.
The young man expected that he would feel the road under his feet, but to his surprise, there was a feeling that he was driving a good car.
Noticing that the man was throwing glances at him, he knew that it would be polite to thank him.
- Thank you for offering me a ride, my name is Andrey. - The young damned angel spoke with gratitude in his voice.
The young man only smiled at Andrei's words, continuing to examine with interest the clothes in which the young damned angel was.
- At first I thought it seemed to me, but now I'm sure you are a servant of Duke Dumio? - Turned the young man with great interest, considering the young accursed angel.
Andrei did not understand what kind of duke the young man in front of him was talking about. But, having added in his head that Alia was the daughter of a duke.
At such moments, the young man cursed his forgetfulness and the fact that he did not ask the girl for her last name.
- I am milady Alia's personal assistant. - Andrey answered, trying to notice some changes in the expression of the young man in front of him.
The young man's face did not change, only a strange gleam appeared in his eyes. Andrei suspected that in front of him was a difficult traveler in terms of condition and decoration inside the carriage.
- So you are a personal assistant, but why did your mistress let you walk if she could provide you with a carriage or a horse? - Nodding his head with interest, asked the young man.
The young cursed angel only smiled wryly at the remark of his interlocutor, perhaps she could offer him such opportunities.
But he had no desire to ask her for such a thing, given that she saved his life from death even in the game. It was foolish to disrespect her after he made conditions to her that he would leave her as soon as he wanted.
- I myself did not ask, I did not imagine that the village would be so far from her estate. - Andrew answered evasively, spreading his arms to the side.
The young man nodded in understanding at his explanation, even if he did not believe it, he did not show it.
- I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Étienne, I am the son of the local baron of these lands.- The young man introduced himself, straightening his hair.
The young damned angel looked at Étienne incomprehensibly, did he think that Aliya's father rules these lands, or did he not understand something?
Trying not to betray his surprise, Andrey noted in his head that he would need to learn more from Aliya at their next meeting.
