Chapter 17: Azron Town

As the trio were able to hide the car, they sat down to discuss the situation they were in at the moment as they looked at each other solemnly, well except for Doron who had a stupid grin as he realised that he was in another world.

He was no longer that Doron of before, but he still had some of that otaku blood in him. 'Does this place have some kind of demon king, or evil king that wants to rule all the kingdoms with an iron fist, or is it a dark sect of a cultivation world?!'.

Doron's mind was really going far, due to the countless possibilities that he had right now.

Iris was just frowning as she was able to make contact with her leader and supervisor.

[What do you mean that the higher ups sent us here?] Iris asked.

[That is what it is, the higher ups for some reason changed their mind again about making Doron powerful, and decided to send you guys to this world for him to at least get stronger and possibly conquer it while you guys are at it... And you are to give him a kind of system that would help him keep track of his progress.] Her supervisor said.

[What? another change?]

Iris was really getting annoyed by the way her superiors were treating this thing, one moment they were, give him trials to get stronger, then the next thing, let him leave a normal life, and now this! The worst part, they did not even tell her that she would be yeeted into another world and then be turned into some kind of system admin.

[Yes another change, but don't worry, this will not really last, since all you have to do is make him get strong, this is the system format you are to use] The supervior said, and several texts appeared infront of Iris like a hologram.

[

Name: ???

Power:???

Power Duration:???

Rank:???

EXP:???/???

]

[...]

Iris just looked at this and felt like cursing. Did they want to turn this into some kind of RPG game or what?!.

[Oh, and this is just for this world, other worlds would have different ways for him to get stronger, and remember, the gods of this world are a bit petty and are even worse than the gods of earth, so don't antagonize them too much and just make Doron stronger.] The supervisor said and the connection was then disconnected.

Iris just looked at Doron like he was the one that kidnapped and killed her parents and all her family members.

'*Sigh*, I guess he is more important than I thought' Iris looked defeated as she just decided to find the nearest town or city, so that she could at least have a place for Doron and Patra to rest, they did not really carry anything with them at all. 'They could have at least given us a map to the nearest town.'

As if on cue, a group of men and women who were all carrying weapons and were covered in half armors appeared not to far away from them with smiles and laughter on their faces as if they were coming back from a very fruitful adventure.

Doron who saw this instantly thought, 'Adventurers or Mercenaries'.

Iris also saw them and was really happy that they at least met some people on the road.

As the group got closer to them, they noticed the trio infront of them and became vigilant. This woods were very notorious for having bandits that did not even know the meaning of fear as they had even robbed a noblr before who passed here too.

Seeing their vigilant and guarded gazes and stance, Iris raised her arms in the air, followed by Doron and Patra who did not even know what was happening at all.

She just knew that one moment they were on earth, then a portal appeared and somehow swallowed the car and it's passengers and then they were brought here, somehow against their own will, now they started raising their hands in the air.

"Who are you people?" The person who Iris assumed to be their leader spoke as his hands were on the hilt of his sword as his group observed their surroundings like hawks, so as to not get ambushed.

"we--"

"We were robed by a group of bandits not to long ago, for some reason, they just took only our belongings and horses, that were carrying our goods" Doron cut her off, as he felt that Iris was going to say something like. "We mean no harm ,we just need directions to the nearest town or city."

The group looked the man that just spoke and they all agreed unanimously in their hearts that this guy was handsome.

He had rose colored hair that reached his shoulders, and also rose colored eyes that held a bit of mischievousness in them and for some reason the girls in the group found it appealing the way he looked at them, as the funny clothes he was wearing showed that he was hiding some really juicy muscles behind them.

Doron was surprised to have suddenly changed his appearence to another one, thought of using his new power that was not ment for fighting, but for something else.

The men who saw this gritted their teeth in anger as they had the urge to slap this man and disfigure him completely.

"Bandits? Then why are you dressed so funny?" The leader asked again as he was gripping his swords hilt very tight.

"This?, Let us just say it was part of the goods that we came here to sell, but not wearing it would make us look like scammers, so me and entorage decided to wear it, but it seemed that the bandits saw us as some kind of wealthy merchants that were trying to look strange and weird to trick them" Doron said, giving Iris a signal with his eyes, telling her he would handle this.

"So you are merchants? From which city?" One of the women in the group asked as the other women could not help but want to listen more to Doron's sweat voice.

"Yes, we are merchants, about were we came from..." Doron looked at the group with a look that made him seem that he was fighting with something inside him.

The group containing a number of seven people looked at the merchant with a complicated look on their face, they could tell that he was finding it hard to tell them were he was coming from.

If where he was coming from was a very prosperous city or town, then they could be very well be giving a piece of info that might put them in danger.

If they came from a prosperous city and that they were actually wealthy people, then if the group had malicious intentions then they could kidnap them and ask their family for a huge ransom.

"You don't need to answer that" The leader said, earning a look of appreciation from Doron.

"So where were you guys headed?" The leader asked as his hand on his sword lowered a bit.

"... Well, you see, we are merchants that wanted to start a kind of clothing shop in either a city or a town, and then later grow it into a big business" Doron said, giving a very sad smile that touched the hearts of the ladies in the group as they sympathaized with the merchant who had just lost his only way of owning a good clothiing shop.

Patra."..."

Iris."..."

The two looked at each other and were shocked as they did not expect that Doron was such a good actor.

The leader who saw the reaction of the girls behind the man was able to come to a conclusion behind these merchants.

'It seemed that they were not pplanning on saying this to anyone' The man thought as he nodded his head in understanding.

"Why don't you guys follow us?, We are headed to Azron town not too far from here, it would just take us about one and a half hour to get there, and form there we would get to the city of Chisel that would take us about four days to get there" The leader said, with an inviting smile, no longer looking at them with vigilance.

"Really, thank you so much, we were about to sleep in the outside, but I could not let my fiancees sleep in the open."

Patra, just blushed, while Iris looked at Doron like an idiot, the group saw this and laughed at how innocent the other girls was and how the other seemed to not want her fiance to talk about their engagement like that to strangers.

"Come on let's go" The leader said as he led the way.

The women who were eyeing Doron earlier looked a bit disappointed as they looked the girls that followed him and looked at themselves.

They could be considered beauties in their own right, but due to their constant training, and their battles, they looked like men rather than women.

After about two hours of walking they finally saw what looked like a wall made out of wood in the distance.

The leader had been observing Doron and his fiancees and had to say, they were really strong, especially the girls that did not complain at all even though they had been walking under the hot sun, even a drop of sweat was not seen on either of their faces.

"This is Azron town, a place where adventurers like us come to rest when we are done with our missions and other assignments" The leader said."You would need ten bronze coins to enter the city, but since you said that you got robed, I will lend you guy some money, just take it as me helping you guys" The leader said as he took out a pouch form his waits and took out one silver coin and handed it to Doron.

"Take this err..."

"Randolph" Doron said as he took the silver coin form the leader.

"Randolph? Okay, my name is Brids, you don't have to know my team members, but if we see again, I would like for us to keep in touch when you are able to stand on your own two feet" Brids said as he and his party members went first to the wall.

"Captain, why are we leaving them, should we not at least escourt them?" One of the females said worriedly, because she felt sorry for the handsome merchant man.

"Their story did not really add up to me, it's like they are hiding something else, it sounded too made up, and his expresion was too calm for my liking, but seeing how he did not even flinch at the sight of a silver coin means that he deals with that a lot, so am thinking he might a rich mans son that ran away from home with the intention of making his own mark" Brids slowly said, making the others nod their heads in understanding.
