154. Giant Slayer

  Omen: 10, 18 “Are you feeling lucky?” Sonarot asked, seeing the way Adam smiled. “Yeah, I feel pretty lucky,” Adam admitted, rubbing his eyes. He had awoken a little ter than usual for some reason. “This on is going to turn out great.” She smiled. “Since Jurot is gone, perhaps I should wield it?” Adam gasped. “Using a greatsword? Aren’t you the Head of the Rot family?” He tutted. “You will not allow me to wield it?” Adam frowned. “You are hard to joke around with, Aunt.” “It is much easier to make fun of you than it is to make fun of me,” Sonarot noted. “True.” Adam got up and stretched. “But first, I o do that thing,” he said, seriously. Adam sighed, feeling the cool water flow over his body. It felt awkward bathing iream without the others, but he kept to himself as he washed up, using the hard soap of the Iyr. ‘I really do her friends,’ Adam thought. ‘Don’t I?’ He pushed away his thoughts when he had goo the shrio ent. “You work too hard,” the Iyrman who had been assigo him that day said. Adam raised his brows in shock. This was the Iyrman who had been with him for the most ret ents, and usually kept some ways away to give Adam some personal spad freedom. He was an Orc, though he wore light clothing and carried with him a dagger at his side, but Adam noted just how lean the Iyrman was. He was one of the feasn’t built with muscle, and though he was lean, he wasn’t an athletic leaher. “I’m sure it must be b for you to keep a wate,” Adam said. “It is my duty this m.” “Well, I appreciate that you’ve been keeping a for me,” Adam said. The Iyrman nodded. “It is my duty.” “So, what’s your name?” Adam asked. “I feel like we know each other after hanging out so much.” “Fawyx,” the Orcish Iyrman said. “Adam, son of Fate,” Adam replied. “I know who you are.” “Heard about me, have you?” Adam chuckled. “Who has not? Will you not bee Unrivalled Uhe Heavens?” Adam winced, ging as he heard the title. “Right.” He clutched at his heart. ‘I fot he I was.’ “Are you okay?” Fawyx asked. “I’m fine.” Adam decided against speaking with him any further, not wanting to embarrass himself. Instead he focused on enting.

As he reached for it, another child stamped on his hand, pinning it to the ground, as anrabbed the dirty bread and fled with it. He couldn’t even curse his poor luck, as it was just another day for him. How he had fallen.

XP: 6070 -> 6570Great Entme!XP: 6570 -> 6770 Adam wiped his brow, stepping into the rain to refresh himself after a hard day’s work. He swiftly returned back to the estate, holding the on in his hands, gng around for Jurot, only to remember he was gone. “I see you have finished,” Sonarot said. “I have,” Adam said, handing out to Sonarot. “It’s not as good as my previous sword, but it’ll do.” Sonarot took the on, feeling its great magical might. “You will o meditate with it,” Adam informed. She bowed her head a, causing Lanarot to squirm and cry, Adam picked her up. “Your mama is a little busy, but why don’t we py together?” Adam asked, gently boung the girl against himself, before she ed an arm around his neck, rested her head against his chest, and stuck her thumb into her mouth. He rubbed a hand down her back, causio fall asleep in his arms as Citool cooked, fish and mixed vegetables again, though this time it was a soup and there was bread on offer. “It is quite a powerful on,” Sonarot said, having swung it around, before bringing the hao the awakened Lanarot, letting her suck against the leather strap. Shikan stared at the bde, w how powerful it was. Sonarot held it out to him, but the man looked to Adam. “If you could tell me your opinions on the bde, I’d appreciate it,” Adam said, allowing Shikan to meditate with the bde. “It will sell well in the Iyr,” Sonarot said. “Such a great on follows the ethos of we Iyrmen.” “So I’ll be making a lot of money?” Adam asked, rubbing his . His lips formed into a hyena’s smile. “I needed mems, so that’s good.” “I have heard that you have pleted the entment,” Elder Zijin said, marg into the courtyard. “Yeah, currently, Shi-“ Adam stopped, w if he was allowed to call people by their names. Aunt Sonarot was obviously Aunt, due to the fact he hew, and Elder Zijin was an Elder, so of course there was the title he o refer to. “Shikan is currently meditating with the bde,” Sonarot said, feeding her daughter some mushy fruit. “Should I have not been the first to py with it?” Elder Zijin asked, frowning towards the Half Elf. “Why?” Adam asked. “Did you not e to me for a on?” “I came to an Elder for help to make a on for the Iyr, that’s correct,” Adam said. “Though, isn’t it obvious I’m going to let my Aunt py with the sword first?” “That is fine, but what of Shikan?” Elder Zijin asked. “Aunt offered the bde to him, and I wasn’t going to deny it,” Adam said. “I hear the Kan family is one of the greatest in terms of produg Chiefs.” Elder Zijin narrowed his eyes. “It is soon that my nephew will bee a Chief.” Shikan remained meditating with the bde, though he was in half a mind to tell the Elder off. “To think an Elder of the Iyr would be so partial to one family thaher,” Adam said. “It seems Jaygak was right, that you are someone who puts his own family above others even though you are meant to be impartial.” “She said that?” Elder Zijin growled, g her fist. “I ot wait for her to return!” “When did my daughter say that?” Jogak asked. “Well, she didn’t quite say it in those words,” Adam said, smirking slightly. “Though she did elude to it.” “I believe that,” Elder Zijin said. “If you want to py with the on, you wait. Why don’t you join us to eat? This time it was Citool who made the food.” “Since you have offered,” Elder Zijin said, dropping down to eat the food with them. “What kind of entment did you p the on?” “Don’t spoil it for yourself,” Adam said, smirking at the Elder. “You are so troublesome.” “Right? Isn’t it fun?” Elder Zijin grinned. Eventually, Shikan was swinging the bde, it cutting through the air hard enough to create a sharp sound, enough to cause Lanarot to twitd look towards him. “This is an amazing bde,” Shikan said, causing Zijin’s ears to twitch. If Shikan thought it was det, then it must be true. “What does it do?” Zijin asked, gng towards the Half Elf. Adam raised his brows. “Didn’t I tell you not to spoil the surprise?” “It is a bde which cuts deeper against rger foes,” Sonarot said. She smiled as Adam teased the Elder, but it was a good idea not to tease him too much sidering his position. “Oh?” Zijin said, bringing out a small gem. “I will see what it does.” “Is that aify gem?” Adam asked. “Yes.” Zijin crushed the gem once he was toug the bde, and remained with it for some time. “Youhese days, always in a rush,” Adam said. “Isn’t that right, Lanarot?” Lanarot sucked on her hand, which had some of the mushy fruit all over it. “Aa?” “Tell me about it,” Adam said, shrugging his shoulders. Jogak could see why Jaygak got along with the Half Elf. ‘To think that there would be another one like Jaygak around here.’ “This will sell well in the Iyr,” the Elder said. “How much?” “I will pce it for au if you are willing to wait,” the Elder said. "Could I get some mems in the mean time?” Adam asked. “I have a few more ons I want to ent, but I need a few mems for them.” “I hand ems worth a thousand gold sihat would be the minimum for this on,” Zijin offered. “Great!” “It seems there will be a bidding war,” Sonarot said. “A on like this will be popur.” “Do you have any idea how much it will go for?” Adam asked. “Five thousand or so?” Sonarot said. Elder Zijin nodded, estimating about the same. “Nice,” Adam said. “I’ll be able to ent Dunes’ bde well then. Though, should I start on my own axe?” “Whitments will you p your axe?” Sonarot asked. “The typical bonus, maybe some extra damage? I want it to be able to exploit vulnerabilities easier, like that shortsword I made, and then being able to deal more damage once per day or so.” “Since you bend Fate, you could create a bde with a greater bonus,” Sonarot offered. “Such a bde usually requires five thousand gold’s worth of gems.” “Should I?” Adam asked. “How much would that be worth if I were to sell it off?” “A greater bonus by itself is worth three to five thousand, but with the entments you are aiming for, twenty thousand or so?” Adam whistled. “That’s worth a lot.” “Not as much as your life,” Sonarot said, patting his head. “Right,” Adam replied, blushing like Jurot.
