A mysterious item

Chapter 5: A Mysterious Item

In the previous chapter, Zaid and Abzerth have to go for a quest to find an important item of the city.

Next morning when Zaid woke up, he saw that Abzerth had completed all his work before going to the quest. He got some important items like sword, shield, and some other magical equipment. Abzerth also did practice that morning. He woke up so early that day. Zaid questions him that why is he getting ready that early. Abzerth tells him that this is an important quest of the city and if we complete it, we will get some coins and other equipment. Abzerth wants a good sword after this.

After breakfast, Zaid and Abzerth started traveling for the next city Nymorial, a city full of mysteries and bad work where all illegal things happen. If they both have to enter the city, they must know a person who lives in that city.

They traveled many miles, but the city is so far.So they use the wind magic of Zaid to travel fast. They can reach there fast. They are now close to it faster because of Zaid's wind magic and speed. After traveling many days, finally they were in Nymorial. The city was covered in dust and darkness. The people are fighting. After seeing this, they get to know why this city is seen to be the worst city of this region.

Abzerth knows someone in this who was his old friend. They met each other in his journey.

He want to find his friend so he can help them in the quest and also to get information about this city so they started to find him. They ask about him his in the city. The person name was Jhon they ask to some people but they don't get his location, after this they go to a restaurant to eat and drink something. After eating they were leaving the restaurant.

"Wait, I know Jhon," someone said from back.

There was a man with old clothes and scar on his face. Abzerth asks about Jhon. The person gives all information about Jhon to Abzerth where he the Jhon lives. They said thanks to him and leave the bar to meet him at his place.

When they go at the address, the person said to him that was an old house which was broken. The colour of the wall was gone, and the ceilings were also bad.

Zaid asks Abzerth, "How do you know that the Jhon live in this city is he your good friend?"

Abzerth tells him about all the stuff what happened with Abzerth and how Jhon helped him in that situation. After that, Jhon gave him address and said that if he wants any help, he can meet him at Nymorial.

Zaid understands everything and then they both enter the house. The condition of that house was also bad from inside. The house was a complete mess. All the stuff was scattered everywhere. They check in the room where Jhon was lying on the floor.

"Jhon, Jhon what happened?" Abzerth asks him. He woke up in panic.

"Who are you? Abzerth... Are you really Abzerth?"

He was kinda in shock after seeing Abzerth unknowingly, he asked Abzerth why is he here. Abzerth tells him about the quest he got from Savvera.

Jhon: "A quest from Savvera to find a mysterious item?"

Abzerth tells him, "Yes, mysterious item that we don't know what it is. They don't know."

Abzerth asks Jhon if he can show them the city. Abzerth, Jhon and Zaid — they three go together in the city.

City was full of crime. In the city, the crimes were happening in front of everyone but no one was saying anything or doing. Seems like they all are same. In this city mostly slave trading, illegal item selling and some other stuff happen.

Jhon takes both Abzerth and Zaid to a person who knows all about this kind of things. They all go to meet him at afternoon in a club where all people were drunk and fighting each other. In the last, there was a person sitting alone. Jhon goes to him.

"Diego, how are you my boy?" Jhon says to him.

Diego replied, "Oh Jhon, how are you here?"

Then after some talking, they get to the point about the work Abzerth and Zaid have to do. They both met Diego. He was a bald man, black, and a powerful physique. He was seeming cool and calm but also dangerous.

Zaid tells him that they want a mysterious item which is smuggled in this city. After this, they all talk about this work and Diego gets ready to work with them for some percentage of profit they will get by returning the item.

After this, Diego started his work to know about if anything precious smuggled in this city and sent Abzerth and Zaid to a hotel to live. That night, when Zaid and Abzerth were doing dinner in the hotel, Jhon sent them the message that 3 items are smuggled in Nymorial in this week: first, a powerful magical sword, a unknown book, and a magical crystal. And after three days, they are going to sell the item in the black market. After knowing this, Zaid immediately sent message to the head of Town Hall of Sevvara about this and until the next day.

That night, they both think about a plan that how will they get the item back and also they don't know what the item is. Zaid was very angry on head that he said, "That fuc*ing fool head didn't tell us about what the item is."

Abzerth tells him not to be angry. They will get the information next morning. After this, they both go to sleep.

Next morning, when they wake up, they get a return message from head:

"Zaid and Abzerth, I am very sorry that I can't tell you about the item at first because that item is very precious that no one knows about it. You do not care about any other things. You only get back the book."

After reading the message of head, they didn't understand why the head wants only the book but not the sword and the magical crystal.

Zaid thinks that they have to return back the magical crystal to the city as it seems to be precious to the city.

"Don't think about it. We only have to get back the book, not any other thing. We don't have to worry about only a little book," Abzerth tells Zaid. He accepted the word of Abzerth and they make a plan how to get back that book and also to find where the book is kept.

After this, they go to Diego to tell about this immediately. When they get there, Diego was collecting information about the smuggled items in the next few days. There were many items which were smuggled in Nymorial, but there are few precious things which were going to the auction held in the city, and the auction will be very bigger. Diego explained all this to both of them and tells that if they want the item — what it is — they have to find it in few days.

After this, Abzerth tells him that item is a mysterious book from Sevvara which is somehow important for the city.

"A book? What must be there in a book?" Diego also gets confused after hearing that the thing they are trying hard to find is just a book.

After this, Diego goes to investigate the city and also asks about the smuggled objects. Diego tells Zaid and Abzerth that they have to protect Diego as this is a dangerous work to do. Diego goes to the market of the Nymorial where some illegal items are also found. Diego goes and asks some shopkeepers about if they have a mysterious book, but no one knows about the book.

After this, Diego goes to them and tells that if the book is not selling in market now, then this must be a very precious item that can be get sold in the auction. And he also mentions that there is a chance, but he is not sure about it.

After this, Diego goes to a person who might know about every item that are gonna sell in this auction. He goes to meet a person in a bar, and Zaid and Abzerth follow him to the bar. Diego tells them that,

"This is a dangerous place where every meeting held before doing any illegal work in the city."

After knowing this, they understand that they have to protect Diego in this place.

Zaid asks, "How do you know that the person is now here?"

Diego tells him that this is the time when he comes here to chill.

The person was sitting on the table with a person. He goes there,

"Hey Daniel, how are you?"

"I am good, what about you Diego?"

Then after this, Diego and Daniel talk for some time. Daniel asks him why Diego is here in bar. He tells him that he wants to know about the items that are gonna sell in the auction. He asks that why he wants to know about this. He tells him that he wants to know about it before auction so that he can get to buy the best items from the auction.

Daniel accepts to give information about the items because Diego helped him before in some work. Daniel tells him that there are 12 items in the auction like some precious stones, magical crystal, swords, armor and some other things. And he also mentions that there is a mysterious book made with powerful magic that is smuggled from another city.

After hearing this, they all know that this is the book they are finding. After this, Diego says him thanks and gets out of the bar and Zaid and Abzerth also get out of the bar. They go to the Diego's place and discuss that how to get that book back.

They decided to go in city auction place where all the items are placed securely. This will be dangerous, but they have to do it.
