Talks

Craig and I were both brought by the Minotaur Guards to a huge building which I would assume as their Town Hall. Just like the rest of the buildings in this town, it is made of wood also looks very old. The guards did not go in and just told us that we should enter by ourselves. We of course followed and went inside the town hall.

As we enter, I saw a minotaur sitting on a chair with some guards with him. He seems like the leader of the town. He seems like he is in his thirties. He also gives me a P.E. teacher vibe. I prepared myself mentally. This will be my battle for today.

"So you are the merchant that is selling in our town?" The leader guy asked.

"Yes, I am. By the way, my name is Wreck. I would assume you are the leader of this town right?"

"You are right. I am the Mayor here in Baugan. My name is Sais. You seem like a well-mannered human. Now that we are still being nice to you and your group, may you please leave our city?"

I smiled.

"May I ask why? What is the reason for our urgent exit in your town sir? Did we violate your rules?"

"We believe that your group may cause harm in our city and while I am still talking to you with respect, please leave our town now." The mayor said who is clearly pissed now.

"I am afraid that we won't sir. The business potential here is large and we also have another purpose here." I said in a very annoying tone. I want to see him being pissed.

"Alright, that is it. You asked for this!" The mayor grabbed a wooden spear and aimed at me. He has clearly snapped now. I swiftly dodged his attack and held his arm so that he can't move.

"You sure are an ill-tempered leader, mayor."

"Guards!!! Capture the two of them!"

I glanced at Craig and signaled him to handle the enemies. He nodded and started to fight. We may be outnumbered and has no weapons, but I believe that Craig can handle them.

Craig uses the Martial Arts moves that I created for our army. This Martial Arts is inspired by Taek Won Do and Boxing combined so it has moves for both the arms and legs. Just like I expected, Craig defeated the 5 guards easily due to their lack of technique and weak weapons.

"I am now done, sir."

"Good Job Craig."

I am seriously going to promote Craig when our army increases. Anyways now that the guards were handled, it is time to talk.

"Who are you monsters?!?! Why did you come here to our peaceful town!?!?!"

"My dear Mayor, we actually came here to help your town. Now I will let you go but you need to promise to listen to me. We came here to save you, not hurt you."

I then let go of the Mayor and he sat back to his chair. He seems like he understood his situation. Good, now let us proceed.

"My group came here to your town to give you a proposal, but first let me show you this."

I then brought out a red iron ingot which I prepared for this demonstration.

"Is that iron?"

"Yes Mayor, and I need you to watch closely."

I grabbed the wooden spear of the mayor and held is together with the red iron. I focused really hard for 5 seconds and the spear became a red iron spear. The mayor was of course impressed.

"Amazing! So you can do magic?!"

"Not so fast mayor. My ability won't save your town. This will."

I then grabbed the bag that Craig was carrying and showed him the content. The mayor was so amazed. The bag is filled with red iron ore.

"We know what your town lacks the most. It is access to resources and technology. And my group can provide you with both. We can make your life better!"

At this point, the mayor is impressed but he still has doubts.

"What is the catch though? Do you want money? Do you want to become an exclusive merchant for this town?"

"No no. Let me tell you the truth, Mayor. We are actually not merchants. We are from a town that produces a lot of this iron. We are also a technologically advanced town. And I am the leader of that place."

"So you want to propose an alliance?"

"It is similar but not quite."

"Then what is it?"

"I propose creating a Union?"

"Union?"

Just I expected, the concept of union really is new in this world so I explained to the Mayor. I also told him the reason why I am doing this.

"We already have the Elven Town of Norman with us so if your town joins, we will now have three towns."

"That really is a very enticing proposal. The idea of trade will improve the economy and lifestyles of the people. The fact that you even convinced the Elves to join you speaks for your abilities. Now I have a question, who are the other towns you are planning to convince?"

"I am planning to go to the Orcs after your town and finally the Ogres."

"You are insane!!!! Do you know how hard-headed those savages are?!?! You can't deal with them with words."

"Don't worry. I already have a plan. And I need your help with this. So do you accept my proposal or not?"

"Fine. I accept your proposal. You are a very clever person and our town needs help from you."

Yes! One down, two more to go!

"By the way, what is the name of your place?"

"The name is Crimson Village."

"Hahahahahaha! The name of your place is the same as the savage and horrifying forest in the south. That sure is a coincidence. Where is your village located by the way?"

"Crimson Woods."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT?!?!?!?!!?!"
