Chapter 008 | Hiding at the Entrance

After I said goodbye to my clan and Graham left two of his homunculi there, we left with no ifs or buts. "The RO is in the northeast of here," Graham mumbled, "It's about a two-day walk to get there"

... ..

... ..

... ..

We already walked for 6 hours, and I still I couldn't get enough of this world. I have never been outside the village, as it was practically suicide. The sun casts great shadows from the trees. Forests that held so many secrets. Huge gigantic mountain ridges, which despite their colossal existence, carried green, glowing fields of grass on them. The nights were calm and relaxing, the only thing you could see was our campfire and the green glowing fireflies chirping around. Graham showed me how to feed on nature, like how to catch fish, or even which plants are poisonous and which are not, which I already knew from one of the natural history books.

Then the time came. Graham announced that it was only 200 m to the RO.

"You have to know that the RO is wanted by the Supreme Court all over the continent. They have many slaves and soldiers. They haven't found out where we're hiding yet, so we have to be careful that none of their patrols finds us. Anyway, we've been breaking that stupid 3rd rule all the time, so we have to be careful anyway, '' said Graham.

We entered a willow field, I have never seen such a full and radiant field before. But Graham didn't give me much time to contemplate the beauty of the field as he drew me down into the safety of the plants.

Graham pulled his head out of the willow for a moment and then quickly back in. He looked tense. "Paul you have to listen carefully now," he whispered, "The entrance to the RO is a shaft, that is on the other side of the field. There is also a patrol from the council there. You need to know there are two types of Knights that the council uses.

-White knights. As their name suggests, their armor is mostly white. We don't know how the council gets this done, but the white guards, firstly, have no Ristics but can communicate with each other over large areas. They share information like their only one person. It seems as if the council has a Ristic in the form of a contract that puts this curse on the undersigned. The danger that exists with the White Knights is that if one of the White Knights sees you, you can expect that the Council will now know about you and that more knights are on their way to you.

-Black Knights. The black knights, cannot share information over long distances. In contrast to the white knights, like the white knights. But therefore the black knights have ristics, they are the people who will chase you if one of the white knights has noticed you. Slaves with strong ristics are often those who become black knights.

,, So ... there are 3 white knights over there. That means we are not allowed to be seen by them, otherwise, they would immediately inform the council that the RO may be hiding here, '' I replied.

"Exactly, so there is nothing we can do here as to wait," agreed Graham, "That suits me very well because I would have to explain one thing to you anyway before you take part in the recruitment" "

"What would that be?" I asked him. Now I'm very excited to see what he has to tell me.

"The 3 types of Ristics," replied Graham. "Cool!" I was already wondering why no one would classify these many Ristics into types.

Graham continued:

"There are three types.

Type 1

Power Ristics are Ristics that can create power out of nothing. As an example, a Ristic that would allow you to throw fireballs would be a Power Ristic. This type of Ristics is the most common.

Type 2

Productions Ristics, like scrolls, or potions. The users often sell these because only they can make them, BUT everyone can use them. For example, the scroll I used for the landlord's house was a Productions Ristic.

Type 3

Talent / Martial Arts Ristics, this type of Ristic is not very common. The user gains a natural talent for a weapon or art form. This can as an example be the talent for forging or the talent to be able to handle swords particularly well.

If a Talent Ristic user asks Neschar what the secret of his Ristic is, Neschar will tell him the talent.

Most people only name their ristics after their type, this means type 1; type 2; type 3 ''

... ..... I interrupted him : "Look Graham! The white knights are now gone! ''

Graham: "Well then let's go in now"
