《New World》Chapter 05- Village sighting
Advertisement
[Narrator PoV]
The two siblings stood at the exit of the cave and gaped in surprise on seeing the sheer size of the Holy Kingdom of Faust.
"I think the best thing to do would be to head over to the nearest village and stock up on information and supplies." said Alice, looking up at David.
David let out a relieved sigh on seeing the Kingdom and readily agreed with her.
The two of them, being in dire health, decided to use Stealth to go towards the edge of the forest to avoid any enemies they would run into.
David knew that at their current situation, encountering even a level 10 goblin would end up spelling doom for both of them.
"Bro... I think its best that we hide our strength while we are in the kingdom. Remember how Octavius mentioned that even the strongest of knights were level 40 at the most?" Alice murmured as they sighted the village gate.
David gave her a blank look and asked stupidly
"Why should we do that?"
Alice looked at her brotger incredulously and realizing there was no saving him, sighed in exasperation and answered his stupid question "Because we would stand out too much... Duh!"
"Oh..." David muttered sheepishly.
Now I think I know why his Int and Wis were so low Aljce mused.
Soon they were nearing the village gates. The gatekeeper soon spotted them and called out to them.
"Halt! State your purpose before you enter"
David observed the guardsman
Name: Samuel Ral
Race: Human
Profession: Soldier
Level: 8
"We are—" David opened his mouth to speak but Alice interuppted him.
"We are just travelling merchants who came here to sell our wares" she said pointing at their loot.
Alice shot him a warning look, telling him to bace for the next question. They were sure that the guard would ask for some kind of identification but,

"Oh! Travelling merchants, ah, Welcome to our humble village of Murel" replied the gatekeeper nonchalantly flicking his hand.
Eh?? Thats it? No identification? Is tjis country really okay? David thought while glancing back at the nonchalant gatekeeper.
"Well, wasnt that easy? " Alice murmured to him.
David only snorted in response.
"Well then, Lets go sell the loot !" David grinned
Both of them nearly emptied their inventories on the merchant's counter.
The merchant looked through the items with a bored expression and said "10 silver for all this junk"
David almost accepted the deal when his sister cut in again.
"10 silver? You must be joking! Come on brother, lets take these somewhere else"
David went silent. He had no bargainjng skills and he knew it. He slowly began to gather up the loot.
"Wait! Fine. I'll give you 20 silver for all of it."
Alice dismissed him by tossing her hair. She looked him in the eye and said "35 silver and we have a deal"
"Tch!" The merchant clicked his tongue and reluctantly put 35 silver on the counter.
David silently vowed to let his sister handle all money related trades.
"Another reason why your Int and Wis are so low!" accused Alice and stuck her tongue out at him.
David just frowned and pinched her cheeks.
"Sowwy sowwy sowwy" she said drooping her face and rubbing her cheeks. David noticed that she had reverted back to the playful character that she had when they were living in their former world and it relieved him. David chuckled and asked a passing girl, directions to the nearest inn.
He gave her his best smile as a thank you and watched in puzzle as she ran away with her face red.
Slowly, the two of them made their way towards the Bear Shack which the girl had recommended.

They go in through the door and are immediately greeted.
"Welcome! Welcome! How can I help you? " A large built man enquired with an enigmatic grin on his face.
Uwaahhh.. it really is a Bear's shack. The duo concluded.
"We would like a double room for... a week maybe?" said Alice.
"That'l be 2 silver missy!"guffawed the friendly patron.
"Okay. That sounds fine. We'll take you up on that offer" replied David in a stern voice, looking at his sister to stop her from bargaining.
"Okay laddie! First room to the right. Galvin's the name and gimme a call if ya need anything" he said with a cheery smile.
The duo crashed into their beds after discussing their plans for the next day. David constantly kept a lookout while his sister slept earning him a new skill.
