2 days later.... the trio traveled onwards toward zone 2 to finally meet with
the head of the Hart family. During travel Melisa has been using Zane's
dimensional space to train. The results have been promising since it took
them 2 days to get to her district she got a full day which equals to 24 days
in real world to train.
The population around the Hart region was so different compared to everywhere
else. the common folk actually enjoyed the field work and helping to make the kingdom more prosperous.
I have seen no wanted posters up or checkpoints along the trails Mel
why is that Zane asked. Well our lands have never had a problem with theifs
or murders. We don't have but one dungeon and it's ranked one.
This is not appealing to rouge mages so we barley have disputes or arguments
to deal with. However we have the most and richest mines of all the zones
that is the reason we have had to deal with those nobles for so long and
why I have had marriage offer after marriage offer.
Ok I get it your worth alot more than I thought whoever marries you would
have access to the mines z said. That's right which is also the reason
father wanted to breakthrough and get his own domain put all his hopes
on it being one that could make those nobles think twice about trying
anything.
We are almost at the gate let me talk to the guard, the Carriage slowed in front of 2 guards in front of the entrance to zone 2 city the city is temporary closed turn around and go back one of the guards told the group.
The door to the Carriage opened and Mel stepped out to greet the guards
is that any way to greet a Hart she said while smiling.
The guards seeing who it was became overcome with emotions. My lady
it's really you everyone feared the worst you are 5 days late what happened
not now where is Father we gotta talk about things that has happened.
he is in your room been in your room for days no one could get him to come
out. very well we will be on our way Mel said.
the trio moves past the guards and inside the city, right away Zane could
see differences the homes and stores all seemed nice compared to the
rundown ones of zone one the markets was busy and people was walking
around. Well the only thing was the adventures guild here was not so grand
was a single story it made sense since the majority of the people in this city
sold weapons and armour the mines made sure it was still a profitable
place to do business. Toward the center of the city was the Hart mansion if
you can call a 2 story one a Mansion. Mel could see the look on the faces of z
and Zane and knew they were wondering why the head of zone 2 had such a small home even the baron of zone one lived a life of luxury. My father believed
it would be hypocritical of him to claim he believes everyone should have a equal
life then force the common folk to build him a 4 story Mansion. Come on let's
go surprise Father on the inside the home was simple looking not
much fancy Craftsmanship z said. Melisa walked to the room furthest of the
home and knocked on the door, Go away!!! came from the other side are you
sure father Mel said I thought you missed me she said. MELISA boom
boom boom the locks could be heard from other side of the door and once
the door was opened A tall man with a huge belly could be seen with a face
full of tears. Daughter it's really you I feared the most the two embraced
James Hart was so happy to see his daughter he not even notice Zane or z
there at all. What happen why did it take so long he asked, It was the nobles
I'm sure they sent rouge's to kill me. James was effirated they would
dare to go so low and try to have his daughter killed. But they failed
obviously and I also have these, Melisa brought out the 2 peak level 2 cores
you got them great job daughter I need to start absorbing these as soon
as possible the all will pay.
speaking of pay Zane finnaly spoke up uhhh who are you James asked
suspiciously.
