Chapter 902: A Conversation In The Hut

Pov Realm A Commoner:

Today was another ordinary day, I got up giving my wife a kiss, and took my daughter to buy some fresh bread for us to eat before I left to open my stall.

"I must still have time to..." (I)

"Good morning, do you have anything to eat?"

Suddenly someone calls me behind my back while I was finishing up the preparation of the tent, the fruit soup still needed to be heated, but I wasn't going to lose a customer.

"Good morning my friend, I have a wonderful fruit soup, but if you want I also have some meat sandwiches." (I)

"The weather is about to get cold, I think I'll have some soup."

"Wait just a few minutes, it's heating up as we speak." (I)

I managed to buy this magic item that has been a great help for cooking, thanks to which I don't have to spend money on wood anymore.

I look at this new customer, he looks friendly, but by the way, his expression changed with the Beastman who was together with a group of Adventurers, I finally realized who he was, the symbol on the sword he carries on his waist only confirmed.

"What is a great Soldier of Light doing in our small town?" (I)

"You have a sharp eye."

"No, I just noticed from the symbol on your sword, many of you have been passing through town lately." (I)

"(These bastards scaring away some of my older clients are just causing trouble.)" (I)

I keep smiling trying to talk to him to take his focus off the streets, giving them a lot of attention has proven best to divert their attention away from people of other races, any dislike quickly becomes a fight with these extremists, so I stopped praying for Baldr, I don't want to be involved with people with such rigid minds.

"You have been great customers, as expected of Soldiers who defend the Church of Light." (I)

"We are just passing through your capital, there are Demons threatening the peace and this Kingdom may be in danger, our Church provides reinforcements to protect this Kingdom from these Demons."

"I hope nothing happens, wars increase the price of food and decrease the number of merchants, not to mention the decrease in travellers." (I)

"A Jumping Rabbit that beat you up, I've heard that story many times." (I)

"Hahaha... I'm old what can I say? I like to tell my stories that I'm proud of." (Juliano)

"It was after that first story that my mother, who was an Adventurer before, gave me the secret of victory." (Juliano)

"The only true weapon is the will not to give up." (I)

"That's the family motto." (I)

"It was those words I didn't understand at the time that came back to me at every point in my life, that same phrase was what I said when I was crowned Emperor by creating a place that would defend our continent from forces outside and within." (Juliano)

When he stopped talking I could feel the murderous intent so great that it seemed that time itself had stopped.

"Knowing that our home, the land where my parents are buried and which gave birth to our Empire could have been exterminated by those worshipers of the most tyrant God of all..." (Juliano)

"If the World Tree hadn't recovered, if there wasn't someone to protect our home just thinking about it fills me with fury" (Juliano)

Soon his eyes returned to normal as the killing intent disappeared.

"You cannot fight." (I)

"I know, you came to make sure of that, didn't you?" (Juliano)

"Your presence will prevent the High Priest and his Guardians from entering, but if you show up..." (I)

"They would also appear" (Juliano)

A battle of this magnitude would be catastrophic, many would be killed both on the enemy side and on our side, plus the damage to their own will continue if their Territory is not enough to contain the damage.

"You must keep our Empire safe, so I can go forward and fight on the front lines." (I)

"Take care, my grandson, watch the shadow on your back." (Juliano)

"I will, I will not forget these shadows..." (I)
