After training, Akirion and Thaneiros headed home and freshened up and went out.
They searched for a good restaurant to get some food that Akirion will love.
The same evening, Ryder went with a strong giant guy to Haruto. To be straight, he was scary. They reached where they held the meeting in the afternoon. They found Haruto with the other soldiers, preparing for a war. I mean, getting their weapons ready.
' Ohh Ryder, you are here?' Haruto asked, with a smile on his face.
' Good evening Sir!' Ryder greeted Haruto.
' it's good to see you this evening, ready for a war?'
' Yes sir, I am. Totally ready.'
' Mhhhh, I see, I don't see a weapon in you, how are you going to fight that war?'
'hahaha, I got my ultimate weapon! The one that's hard to find. MEET my ultimate weapon, GIDEON!' Gideon stepped in the room and everyone in it got surprised.
'Wow, ultimate weapon for sure. Wow he's really strong. Hie Big man.' Haruto funnily admired Gideon.
' (with a strong voice)Hello Mr…!' Gideon replied.
' ahh, he's really strong, even his voice. Hey Ryder, come with me. (They stepped away from everyone's ears) Where did you find this guy.' Haruto asked Ryder after seeing and hearing a strong guy while he thought that Ryder was a sellout.
' This Elysia is big, I traveled a lot to find this guy, after spending a lot of hours without water or food to hide my dry mouth, I found a good Samaritan , he helped me with water, then I asked him about the Elysian strongest warriors and more. Then the guy told me a lot and he directed me to a scary place. Thanks to my expensive clothes, I wasn't criticized, but I was shivering behind my rich face. I told the guy that I was going to pay him after he completed the mission, so the guy agreed, after looking at me, one or two times, he saw that I was rich so he placed his price tag for the mission, and as a wealthy moneymaker, I accepted the expensive price...…' Ryder was cut off before he finished his story.
' wait wait wait, do you have that money?' a serious question was asked.
' No! We will see that after the mission, we will borrow some from people and friends. And you are also close to the King, so it be a piece of ca…..'
' The what? I'm not, I also lied to him, will you mind telling me his price?'
'(Ryder cleared his throat) I'm sure you know that there are principles in killing someone Sir?'
' what do you mean Ryder? Tell me the price not asking questions!'
' Low level killing= 100 - 500 gold coins
Mid level killing= 1000 - 5000 gold coins
High level killing= 5000 - 1000 gold coins
It depends on which level is the target, as for now, the Ghost of steel is in high level….'
'Wait a second Ryder, what happened to the middle of 500 to 1000 gold coins?'
' I don't know, those are their principles, I don't know why they jumped that spot.'
' Then you said, that Ghost of steel guy is in high level, which means you are supposed to pay 5000 going up?' Haruto added Ryder on his own in paying.
' Wait Sir, why are you saying me, like me alone in paying this guy?'
' you are the one who found the guy!'
' Wait a second Sir, we are all in this, we both want to kill the guy so…..'.
' hahaha, I was joking, so how much did he say?'
' I told him that the guy is no longer powerful , so, he can be in mid and he said 3500 for one guy.'
' WHAT?!' Haruto asked, surprised. And everyone in the room looked at them then Haruto, changed everyone's eye's back to their place by saying, sorry. He started whispering. ' Are you for real, how are you, I mean we, how are we going to gather that much money? 35000 silver coins. Thirty-five thousand silver coins Ryder, are you serious. If you were banking coin by coin, I mean using bronze, you are going to use 175 000 bronze coins.'
' Do you realize that you are still saying me, me alone? And as for the money, we are going to see after the mission, and we are going to borrow if we have to, as long as we completed the mission.' Ryder replied positively.
' Wait a second, do you realize that this guy is a killer, he will follow us one by one and leave all of us in graves?'
' ohh God, I guess you have a point Sir'.
' Exactly, so how are we going to pay him, or we send him back and use my cheap guy?'
' what If he dies during the mission, we are going to win the money.'
'Oh yeah, I guess you have a point.'
' Huh?? Wait a second Sir, are you for real? Did you just say your guy?' Ryder curiously asked after processing Haruto's sentence.
' Yes, to be honest, I didn't trust you, I thought you were sent by Mika who was trying to stop me. So I had to find my guy.'
' So, where is the guy??'
' Wow, this menu is full of my favorite dishes, I'm struggling to choose which one to eat tonight.' Akirion happily said.
' Ohh really, let me help you to choose. Try to choose anything that you'll love to eat if it was your last day in this world!' Thaneiros took off some scary words from his chest.
'Huh, what do you mean Master?'
' Come on sir, stop scaring the pure cute boy here '. The waitress said her words.
' I'm trying to make him choose one of the most delicious food that he will die to eat it.'
'{Wait , why is master sounding like that, dying, what's up with that word today, it's coming from his mouth one after the other}' Akirion silently said.
' It will be ridiculous for this handsome young man to die for food, aren't I right little guy?' the waitress asked.
'Yeah sure, why would I do that for, while I have some people to protect?' Akirion spoke like a real hero.
'Huh?? Hahaha, you two are funny. Hahaha, alright, what are you going to choose young master?
Akirion managed to choose the most delicious food he loved and on the other side, Thaneiros did the same.
' HEY EVERYONE! MEET MY ULTIMATE WEAPON.... KRAGG!' Haruto yelled, and a mysterious man jumped into the room carrying a sword.
' hiiiya, haaa. Whiiiiiii…haaa.' Kragg started to play with his sword.
Haruto and Ryder spoke in private again.
' You see this guy, he didn't want an arm and leg, he charged a very low amount of money for killing a person, and especially for a high level.' Haruto praised his decision.
' Ohh wow, so how much was it?' Ryder asked.
' Very cheaper than your guy.' Haruto replied, hitting his chest.
' How much...'
' Ohh, I haven't told you yet. Okay then, he said only 700 gold coins deal, then I accepted because it only cost 7000 silver coins and 35000 bronze coins. See, very cheap.
' wow, He looks experienced too.'
'Yeah, totally!'
' But I guess we will need them both, just in case, the guy we are going to be dealing with is definitely strong '. Ryder suggested a point.
' You are starting to sound like elders, ki kay ki ka kiking kik kik kong ( repeating Ryder and the elder's words in the meeting.< The guy we are dealing is strong>) , weird, you shouldn't fear a man. Even though he's strong, he can still fall.'
' Yeah, but it will be better to let them work together to save time, remember that is a private property, once the city soldiers hears about the attack, they'll arrive at the scene in a blink of an eye '.
'Wow, you are right Ryder, it will be better to have them both.' Haruto agreed to Ryder's plan.
' Yes sir'.
'So it's decided '.
