Lucky negotiations

The rest of his day was similar to the previous one. He stood next to Big B and carefully watching his art, as Big B was calling it. The night has come and the last delivery was done. So it was time for Azar to go at the magician's house and try his luck once more.

He got there but the magician wasn't home, at least he didn't answer the door.

*He may still be at the warehouse.*

His curiosity was burning him inside out, he wanted to check what was in that warehouse. So he made a plan. He went back to the shop and took a rope and a fat pointy metal piece, that could at least fit in his pocket.

Then he got Nir and went to the warehouse, but first he had to be sure that the magician was there. He once again went to the magician's house and knocked at the door. He didn't took any response once again but he had to be sure.

"Hey, you piece of shit magician. Come out, i have to talk to you!"

*This may be reckless but i have to be sure.*

Still, no response, he went back to Nir so he could prepare his plan.

*Alright , i have to go up at the roof of the warehouse first.*

He made it to the roof, with same way he did it before.

*Okay, now all i have to do is stick this piece of metal,here!*

With all of his strength he nailed the piece of metal down.

* Now, this warehouse is approximately 7 meters long but this rope is 8 meters long, i can't cut it because i took it secretly from Big B, so i must make a knot at 6 meters so i don't hit the ground.*

*All done, now all i have to do is wait.* Several minutes have passed and Azar is trying to change the form off the small piece of metal, once again he fell asleep. He woke up with the sound of the gears behind the door, so he got ready to jump. The door opened, the magician went out of the door and left.

*Hehehe, for one more time you have acted carelessly.*

Azar jumped from the roof holding the rope.

* The centripetal power will throw me in before the door is closed. Wait, i forgot how am i going to land with all this momentum!!!*

He left the rope before falling into the warehouse, he fell to the ground but cause of the centripetal power and the momentum he had he traveled some meters deeper into the warehouse, he also fell to some stairs, and fainted.

After some minutes, he woke up and tried to get up but when he touched the ground with his hand, a red magic circle appeared. *WHAT THE FUCK! Wait,wait,wait,wait! This is... A TRAP? A landmine kind of thing, red means fire, right? As soon as i get up i have to launch my body away. 3...2...1...* He pushed his whole body back to the stairs and a powerful lightning went up from the ground with a loud noise.

*WHAT? A LIGHTING? DOESN'T RED MEAN FIRE? Whatever, i have to think something to make my way safer, i'm not going back now that i got here. Wait, the lightning hit the ceiling, and it broke! I can use the pieces of rock to throw them and activate the traps!*

And that's what he did, he picked up some stones and throw them, all in a line, he just had to make a path not to disable all the traps.

*OH, now i understand, colors don't indicate the kind of the magic someone use, it indicates the power that is going to be, so deep red means a very weak spell, from red to green the power is becoming bigger and at last the most powerful spell is very light blue.*

He passed all the traps and enter a chamber. It had some weird looking statues all facing the center of the room where a sword was floating in mid air.

*Well look at that, i just got through a whole trapped path to get a sword were some very weird looking statues are looking at a sword that is floating in mid air... HOW AWESOME IS THIS!!!*

He grabbed the sword and it adjusted to a dagger. "Wait, no go back in being a sword, you might be even cooler that you adjusted yourself but... oh, i see it adjust depending on the owner, that was a sword, i couldn't handle to make 10 strikes with it." He gladly accepted the loot he 'gained' from the warehouse and left.

He went to his room and took a nap. He woke up, got ready and went to the market before going to work as always, but now he needed belt to hold his dagger and a bag where he could hide the stolen dagger from the mage.

When he finished, he headed to the BS.

"Good morning Big B"

"Oho! someone is rather happy today?"

"Well yes, i acquired this dagger."

"You mean you bought a dagger from somewhere else and not from here?"

"No,no,no. I found it."

"Let me have a look"

He gave the dagger to Big B and the dagger adjusted to a sword once again.

"Hold up! Where did you find this piece of equipment, huh?"

"From wherever i want"

"Listen kid, this is a magic item, i do recall i was discussing with some one about this, after some days... He died. You better return it to the place you found it. This sword is cursed."

"It's not happening!" *I risked my life for this, I am not giving it back!*

"Sigh... okay kid, go to the mage tell him you stole it and return it, this is serious, go now and take his delivery with you."

"FINE!"

He whistled for Nir and headed to the magician's house. He knocked and the magician opened the door.

"Hello, sir, could you teach me magic?"

"You again, what do you want from my life, i said no, i don't want to teach you magic."

"Okay, but you will if you want your sword back?"

"What do you mean?"

*Sigh, if i can make any use out of it, i can at least blackmail him.*

"I mean this sword, You know i was actually surprised when i activated your first trap, but it wasn't lethal, if i were you i would use a blue power trap for the first one."

"What the... You little thief... Wait you mean, you actually passed that trapped path?"

"Well yea and kinda easy too."

"How did you got in the warehouse?"

"That's a secret."

"So you were following me the other day?"

"Yes."

"Okay kid, you can hold the Cursed Demon Blade, come by tomorrow and i will teach you some magic. Sigh... You won, also take the warehouse for a place to stay if you want, i don't need it anymore."

"Awesome, where is the key?"

"What key, you mean you didn't use the lever?"

"OH, well... I could use it, if i knew how to use magic."

"You actually don't know how to use magic at all. Let me see your core."

"What is a core?"

"Sigh... Just, come back tomorrow and we will have a talk."

"Thank you."

Azar made the delivery successfully went back to the shop made some more deliveries and went back to his room, he couldn't use his warehouse, but he wasn't forced to stay only 1 week any more. He will stay as long as it requires to learn some basic stuff about magic and blacksmithing, the only trouble he had is that he had to learn how to open that lever in 2 days, else he had to pay for one more week.
