Chapter 8:Protecting The Merchant 3

It is the third day of protecting the merchant, maybe we'll arrive at Silverhaven in the afternoon. Jayden teaches Kirby how to be rogue and teaches him some skills and tips. I just sat admiring the views.

*Neeeeiggghh*

Suddenly, the horse stopped, what happened? I looked at the front, there three wolves growling in front of Aldric and his horses

"Run!" I yelled to Aldric

Aldric jumped off his horse and ran behind his carriage and entered to hide there, there's a wolf chasing behind him, I jumped to cut off the wolf, Jayden and Kirby also jumped off. I went forward to make the wolf go backwards, the wolf reunite with his other friends.

The three of us are in front of the horses to protect the horses from the wolves. An idea came to my mind.

"Hey Kirby, this is your opportunity to learn as a rogue, why won't you and Jayden team up and kill the wolves, you might learn something from Jayden" I said to Kirby

"Good idea, Kirby, I'll take the two from the right and you'll take one from the left, I'll teach you some while fighting" Jayden said to Kirby

Jayden went forward to go near the wolves, he got the wolves attention, Jayden noticed it and went backwards, the three wolves started following Jayden.

"Uhhhhh Kirby, get that one wolf's attention" Jayden said to Kirby

Kirby went forward and picked up a small rock, he threw it to the wolf, he got the wolf's attention and started following Kirby. The two wolves growled at Jayden and the one wolf growled at Kirby. Aldric came out of his carriage and went beside me to watch the fight.

"First is to wait for your opponent to attack you and try to predict your enemies attack maybe they slash to your right or left, make sure to keep your eyes on them" Jayden said to Kirby

One of the wolves suddenly jumped forward to attack Jayden, Jayden punched the wolf with his left hand, the other wolf jumped at Jayden for an attack, Jayden stabbed the wolf on the neck.

The wolf cried out of pain, the wolf whom Jayden punched stood up and attacked Jayden, Jayden noticed and kicked the wolf. Now what is Kirby and his wolf doing? I looked at Kirby, he's waiting for his wolf to attack.

The wolf suddenly jumped at Kirby, Kirby went to his right and stabbed the wolf's neck. The wolf wailed in pain. Kirby took out the knife and stabbed the wolf again.

"Hey, I remembered you have an armor on your left arm so use it when the wolf is on top of you" Jayden yelled at Kirby while fighting the wolves

Kirby dodged the wolves' attack while looking for an opportunity to strike. The wolf jumped at Kirby and they both fell to the ground. The wolf went on top of Kirby, Kirby pushed the wolf's face so that the wolf wouldn't bite him.

Kirby raised his left arm and let go of the wolf's head, the wolf raised his head and bit Kirby's armor on his left arm, Kirby took the dagger laying beside him and stabbed the wolf again on the neck.

The wolf wailed again and let go of Kirby's armor, with Kirby's dagger still stabbed on the wolf's neck, Kirby continuously stabbed the neck, the wolf started to weaken, Kirby let go of the wolf and let it walk away.

But the wolf is very weak and badly injured and laid to the ground panting heavily. Kirby went to the wolf and caressed it till his last breath.

I looked at Jayden.....yeah he killed the two wolves.

"These three will be perfect for food today, I'm hungry" Jayden said to us

I also feel hungry, we all decided to stop here and make a meal. We made a wolf stew, we finished our meal and continued our journey.

We travelled again for hours again

"Well boys we have finally arrived" Aldric yelled at us

We all looked at the front, WOOOAAAAH, a big big town and big walls revealed in front of our eyes, there is also a big castle. We arrived at the gate.

The guards made an X shape with their polearms.

"Good afternoon my fellow friends, what are your reasons for entering our city?" One of the guards asked us

"Ohhh I'm a fellow merchant just to sell my potions, and these people on my carriage are my hired men to protect me on my way here" Aldric replied

A third guard went behind the carriage

"May I have permission to check your carriage?" He asked

"Oh sure" Aldric said and went behind to unlock the carriage

We waited for the guard to check

"Okay sir, all of you are welcome in our city, make sure to not cause any troubles in our city" the guard said while exiting the carriage.

The two guards in front put their polearms to their side. Aldric went to ride his horse and we entered. Aldric wasn't lying, it was really beautiful, beautiful people around, beautiful environment, detailed houses, detailed shops, and there's even a plaza with benches and a fountain in the middle.

Aldric rode us Infront of a guild

"This is where our journey ends" Aldric told us

We all jumped down to the ground

"Thank you for keeping me safe and being my good friends, here is your reward" Aldric said to us

He handed us a 3 big coin packs, I got the three, 2 coin packs are hevier and 1 coin pack is smaller. I looked inside of the 2, there is a lot of coins and the other 1 no much.

"Uuuhhh, what is this third coin pack?" I asked Aldric

"Oh, it is the reward for Kirby for keeping me safe, it's 2,000 gold coins" Aldric replied

I'm pretty sure these 2 big packs are for me and Jayden, I gave Jayden the big one and Kirby the small one, I'm pretty sure each of me and Jayden have 6,000 gold coins since the reward is 12,000 gold coins.

We bid farewell to Aldric and went somewhere, I counted the money on a table inside the guild Aldric dropped us, it is 7,000 gold coins, I asked Jayden how many did he count, it's also 7,000, I think Aldric is mistaken but I don't know where he went.

We looked around the guild, there new faces, it is similar style to the guild in Luminaria but there are missing decorations and new decorations inside, so, this will be our new guild?
