Casual day doing nothing

Earlier in the hallway before entering the throne room of the king.

Abel, accompanied with only Fagar, Thorgrim and his friend, Halius, said to the prince, "Thorgrim, Faran and Halius, may you do me a favour of not telling the king my purpose? I want to keep it hidden and don't really want to trouble any person"

Thorgrim nodded, understanding his words. Not long after that, they are called to the throne room of the king by a maid and now there they are. Kneeling with one knee and right in front of them, the king of dwarves himself, Bamur.

Thorgrim exchanged some greetings with his father, the king and right after that, the king said, "Well, Thorgrim, let's not take the limelight from these two humans boys… Been long since I saw any humans…"

The king turned to the two boys and asked, "Well… two human boys, what brings you here? Is there any trouble with the realm of the humans that you humans need our help? That, however, must not be the case, I don't see why mighty humans even want to make contact with us after what happened!"

His chuckled increased the tension in the two boys as they sweated, Abel cleared his throat and answered the king's question, "No your majesty, my purpose of coming here does not involve a large scale organization or even a country, I just have something to do… that however, I can't tell you"

The king raised one of his eyebrows and stared right at Abel, which caught his attention. The boy himself was trying to not make eye contact. Suddenly, the king sighed and said to him, "Well, if you do not wish to tell me, it's fine. But…"

Abel gulped, he was very nervous, thinking what will the king said right after this, then the king continued his words, "… I heard your heroic tale of helping my 7th son here and even leading those elves! I shall prepare a feast for you!"

…

Hours later, when his clock said it was already midnight, he was sitting on a chair with foods at the table right in front of him. It was… really lonely as he sat there, with Halius right beside him and silence right between them.

The dwarves beside them... all of them, yes, all of them, have passed out or was too drunk at that moment of time. The boy sighed, 'I wouldn't have come, but I did not expect the king insisted this…"

He slowly got himself up and left the room with Halius right on his trail. A maid found them, she was the same maid that called them to the throne room and prepared the banquet. The maid sent them to their rooms and the two boys got a comfortable sleep… at least for 15 minutes before Abel woke up.

He looked to Halius which is sleeping like at the baby at this point and thought, 'Thank god he is already deep into his sleep... now, since I can't technically do anything other than sleeping and there's a chance for Halius to woke up in the middle of the night, I should just look at my stats'

Right after that, he opened his stats tab and saw the same list of general information and stats.

But he somehow missed a small button on the edge of the tab, a really small one all this time he was opening the same tab over and over.

[Detailed stats]

He thought of that word and a new tab opened right beside the stats tab. The boy examined it carefully and was surprised seeing what he got after all his time playing the game. He called for Abelard, which instantly showed up right on his shoulder.

And with that, both of them slowly discussed it over the night about the list of detailed stats (it's nothing new by the way, it's basically is the same one as the notification at chapter three)

The next day when Halius is still asleep, Abel heard a light knock on the door and attended it. He was a little surprised when he saw Thorgrim with Fagar, "Hey, Abelard, there is some conflict with the ogres a little on the west. That is the closest land and about Calendin's request, it's best to go there…"

Abel stared blankly at them for a few seconds, then it clicked on his head and he responded to them, "Oh, yes, wait for us at the main gate, I will see you thereafter Halius and I are ready. By the way… thank you for helping me"

Both dwarves turned around and waved at him as they said, "Take your time! We are not in a rush or something!"

Abel quickly closed the door and woke Halius up from his sleep, which was quite easy to do. Since he doesn't really have anything to do and just put all his stuff on the inventory, Abel has some free time on his hand while Halius got himself ready.

Now, Abelard showed up and said to him, "Well, Abel, the thing we saw and discussed on the night wasn't anything new. Just forgot to tell you and you were like… too deep in the conversation, sorry!"

Abel just sighed and said to him, "No worries, let's talk about it at the ship later. Looks like Halius are done packing and readying himself. See you later, Abelard!"

And just like that, he found himself in his room on the ship, but he was surprised when a notification showed up right in front of his eyes when he was lying on the bed.

[Reputation with elves except for the elves of Light Grove forest have decreased by 1000]
