8 Conversation with an elderly village.

The house may not have made an impression outside. But the interior view is not bad. A hunting-style house with additional decorations, such as a red carpet, beautiful-looking vases and the like. The man brought me with his three daughters. (I know for sure that Alice and Jean are his daughters. But for Leia I'm not so sure.) To the large room with a very long table. Around twenty people can sit around it. When we took seats, I sat with Lea, who was still in my arms. And the Elder of Boarding sat opposite me and had his daughters on both sides.

(Old village) - Before we begin, let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Starker. I am the master of this land and perform the functions of the Elder Village. (That is the head of this village.)

(Crius) - my name is Krius. And I'm a monster hunter. "I said without thinking.

(Richard) - Hahahah. I like you straight away. If not for the fact that you are still wearing the ice hound's fur. And that my daughters confirm it. I would never believe it. Hehehhe. Forgive me but if someone announces that he is a monster hunter with only wooden spears. This I could not remedy otherwise. Forgive. Now tell me how did you find my daughters?

And it was a long and bitter conversation. Richard's face changed with each word. And with each subsequent sentence, his opinion about me changed in a positive way. During the big film where I saved Lea. The elder almost cried. Probably because various scenarios went through his head. Richard probably knew the Goblin culture better, and after his face he concludes that I saved them from hell. My words confirmed the faces of Alice, Jean and Lea who hear this remember this terrible experience. After I finished telling everyone was shocked by the whole story. After listening to the story and a short break for learning the information. Richard began to ask me questions that bothered him.

(Richard) - I am extremely grateful to you for saving them. But I don't understand something. You are a big and black goblin but a goblin. I saw many species and types of goblins, but none showed empathy or other good reflexes. What are you?

(Krius) - I'm one of a kind and I'm not a goblin.

(Richard) - One of a kind you say. I understand and am happy about that. If it weren't for you ......- And at that moment he paused and grabbed his head. Thinking what could it be if it wasn't for me.

(Richard) - You deserve a reward.

(Krius) -But ....

(Richard) - No buts. Since you want to be a monster hunter. I will give you something that will help you in this disease.

(Alice) -What do you want to give him.

(Richard) - My best work. I used it when fighting the undead king during one of the wars. He enters the monsters as if in butter. - Exit from the cache who was lying under one of the floor boards.

And a one-handed sword with a black hilt came out. [Author: Link to the photo of the sword in the commentary.] And he handed it to me. However, seeing me hold it in my hand. He smiled slightly.

(Richard) - From what I can see I will reward you with something.

(Alice) - What is Dad?

(Richard) - You can't use this weapon from what I see. Know the biggest reward will be not another sword. But training. The sword does not make you a knight. From today I will train you. Give me two weeks and I will make you a fencing master.

(Crius) - It would be a sin to refuse. - And I shook Richard's hand who'd pulled it out to me before.

And so began my training.
