Purpose.

Cole and the old woman who he learnt was named Hannah finally arrived at the gate.

The gate in itself was huge. It was ten meter wide and 7 metres high .

There were also guards with medieval Western armour and broadswords .

" Halt " A large man said.

Hannah reigned the horse to stop. As the large man who couldn't be seen due to his helmet approached.

" May I see your pass ?" The man asked.

Hannah handed over a wood like token that had a glowing inscribed rune.

The man slightly nodded before returning the wooden token . He then shifted his attention to Cole.

" Your pass kindly?" He asked in a gruffy voice.

Cole shook his head in unapologetic manner.

" Am sorry sir , I lost it back at Evondale " Cole said.

" Your identification then "

Hannah then slightly leaned to the man.

" Why don't you let us go , you know without asking so many questions?" Hannah slightly whispered.

" Of course madam , you can go right ahead." The man said in an almost zombie like voice.

He then turned to his friends and it was as if he returned back to normal.

" They're clear " He shouted.

They were allowed safe passage in.

It would be an understatement to call it a village. This so called village had multiple medieval like houses with signs that Cole could strangely understand.

Taverns , Brothels , Bakery , Weapons. All this signs could be seen in different buildings.

The road in itself wasn't developed as it was murram. Their was patches of puddles signifying it had rained recently.

However Cole wasn't concentrated in his sorroundings but at the old woman.

Cole had witnessed everything and no normal human being wouldn't raise their guards oblivious to the danger present.

' This woman has some kind of hypnosis ability. It's best if I try keeping our conversation to a minimum just in case I fall under her spell. ' He thought.

" You're afraid of my Hypnosis? " The woman asked.

Cole didn't answer. This told Hannah that indeed he feared her ability.

" Calm down it can't work on your kind . " Hannah said.

' My kind . Am hu..... '

Cole paused his thoughts as he remembered the species on his system. Apparently he wasn't exactly fully human.

' Maybe it's because of the orb I swallowed ' Cole shrugged.

Knowing what the orb did to him was scary to think of even though Cole wouldn't admit so.

So he subconsciously made himself not want to know. It's not like it's gonna help him kill that damned god.

Hannah who saw Cole fail to respond assumed he didn't trust her . That was to be expected though and she didn't try to pester him much.

As the carriage silently drove to god knows where , Cole took the Time to see the people around.

He saw a mixture of skin colors.

' No wonder she didn't seem disturbed with my skin ' He thought.

However something else surprised him. Multiple races and not in Earth's Sense.

He saw people with lizard skins and features, people with cat ears and tails and even full on beast like creatures conversing with people normally.

He was slightly surprised.

' It's something out of an Isekai anime ' He couldn't help but think.

The carriage finally stopped at a slightly old medieval era house.

Hannah alighted and went back to get the goods.

" A little help ?" She asked.

Cole hesitated for a bit before agreeing. It would be awkward if he didn't and he hated awkward moments.

After unloading everything, the two were current in a dining table . Hannah had tea and Cole had refused it with a pretense of hating it.

" Be straightforward what do you want?" Cole said.

He wasn't going to play games and try to understand this woman. He'll rather just get to the point.

Hannah hearing him just laughed.

" You're straightforward, I like that about you" She said.

Cole didn't say and just looked at her.

" And look at those eyes, you seek revenge?" She asked.

Cole momentarily flinched but got back to normal. This however didn't escape Hannah's eyes.

" So that's it , then this will be easier , I have a mission for you "

Cole motioned her to continue.

" I want you to guide my goddaughter to the kingdom of Avalor, City of the Goddess Tiamat . You'll have other people with you to help in your journey. " She said.

" What's in it for me ?" He asked.

" You gain power and riches. " Hannah said.

Cole thought for a while.

" Why ask someone like me , you have no idea who I am ?"

" Your eyes boy. You seek power and what I offer you is exactly that. Take my goddaughter there and I promise you you'll acquire all all resources from her parents to train to Great magemaster " She said.

Cole looked at this woman curiously , he could sense she was telling the truth but this made this woman mad.

You find a random stranger and think,

' What a perfect person to hire someone to guide my goddaughter to some country that seems far away '

" I understand your skeptism , I was once like you . I wouldn't go for something so desperate as to hire some random person to help me if I knew I didn't have time "

Cole opened his mouth about to speak but then shut it and started laughing. This laughter slowly transformed into a maniacal one.

" You didn't meet by chance did you ? It seems you planned it " Cole said.

Hannah's eyes twitched giving him an answer.

" I'll help. But you'll have to teach me the voice thingy " Cole said.

' This boy... Is dangerous, such deductions are astounding. However this what makes him best to deliver Mia safely back home.' Hannah thought.

' Better help this woman. She's dangerous enough with that hypnotic power but in addition to that she most likely has some foresight ability . She didn't encounter me by chance, it was all planned. Better on her safe side than sorry ' Cole thought.

Hannah on the outside however scoffed and made her hand outstretch to a portal that appeared out of nowhere and retrieved a book.

" This grimoire is the Mouth of Exodus, it will teach you all about the speech. Take it as kind of a down payment" Hannah said.

The book floated to Cole.

[ Inventory]

He saw it in the corner of his retina. He commanded the book to enter [ Inventory] in his thoughts and just then it disappeared in a flash.

Hannah didn't even bat an eye on what he did.

' I guess then it's common then ' Cole thought.

" And how am I assured that I'll receive everything you're telling me " Cole asked.

" Just show the grimoire to the benefactor of my goddaughter and you'll be treated like a hero " Hannah said.

Cole nodded.

He wasn't going to ask for more proof because he already knew he'd receive them from the system.

He needed to keep appearances though.

If he didn't ask she'll be more worried of my credibility. ... Or maybe she knows something of the future that makes her so confident with him.

Suddenly the door opened and a 12 year old girl entered.

" Grandma am home " She said in a soprano that was only found in children.

She had long golden hair reaching her waist. She had blue eyes, fox ears and two golden tails.

She then directed her gaze to the newcomer.

" Who's this man granny?" She asked.

Cole however was shocked. Not because of the girl but because of the system.
