The Sage of Einar

Chapter 164 - Anders Pay

In the forest, Anders collected the head of a thief "As you can see Russell, this is an unorthodox way to earn money but we do have to increase our level in this place we have to prove our worth.

 

Fortunately, our false noble title will work quite well because due to the civil war they have no way of discovering if we are really laying or not.

 

Remember Rusell you must learn at least to speak Latin if you want to occupy a place of power because Christians are so ignorant that they think that by knowing it you are a nobleman.

 

They may have their doubts, but you really have no way of proving that we are usurping a noble identity. "

 

Russell who was holding the valuables listened calmly, trying to learn as much as he could from that Berserker.

 

Well, if he wanted to survive and take revenge on those who murdered his mother, he had to follow in Anders' footsteps.

 

After placing the thief's head in a cloth bag, Anders began to walk towards the city as he had to hand it over to the authorities to collect his reward of 5 copper coins.

 

Upon entering the city together with Russell, he noticed the large number of people there who seemed foreign, or from areas further north due to the whiter and paler color of their skin.

 

"You can see those people boy they are all coming for the slaves that they have been capturing due to the civil war in the Franco empire.

 

Quite possibly you could be among them if you had not followed me, so I want you to see the faces of those slaves that are being carried away by all these people.

 

Tell me, what can you see in them? "

 

Russell gulped and stared at them for a few moments "I can see the fear on all their faces I just think they stopped fighting because they know that if they continue like that, they will be killed.

 

I think it is because they as mediocre people decided to accept the fact that if they remain calm, they will be able to receive food.

 

I also suppose that another reason why they are not fighting is that they do not understand the language and are a minority in this place, so anything they do will simply be stopped quickly.

 

I have to say Mr. Anders what a pleasure to travel with you. At least this way I can stay carefree while I achieve my goals to get my revenge in the future. "

 

Anders laughed "You are quite mature Rusell for a moment I thought you could not give me an answer that would convince me.

 

I think that in these weeks you have learned a lot and I like that, but we should stop wasting time because this head could start to suck at any moment. "

 

After saying those words, Anders and Russell began to walk through the busy streets to the city guard's office.

 

This with the intention of collecting the rewards for the thief they had murdered, as they walked in the busy streets.

 

Anders looked at an apple stall so he tapped Russell on the shoulder so they would follow him so he wouldn't get lost.

 

Upon reaching the apple stand, Anders looked at the beautiful woman who was young and with ash blonde hair.

 

When the shopkeeper saw the clothes that Anders was using, she realized at that moment that she was in front of a nobleman, so she lowered her head.

 

"Mister noble, tell me how this humble woman can help you."

 

Anders, who was enjoying the noble treatment that the woman was giving him, took one of the apples and looked at it appreciatively.

 

"You don't have to be so formal I was just coming to buy some apples, but from what I can see they are high quality so tell me how many apples could I buy with this."

 

Anders took a silver coin and tossed it towards the woman who, taking the coin in her hands, gulped.

 

"Lord noble with this coin I could buy all my apples, but I would end up owing you copper coins."

 

Anders, who was already biting the apple in his hand, looked at the shopkeeper's body with some lust.

 

"You are very lucky that he is a man who prefers family over physical needs.

 

Just get someone to take these apples to my house that is near the church. You will realize what it is because it has two axes above the door.

 

When you touch, a muscular woman or a man with dark skin should be inside, either of them will receive the fruit.

 

As for my copper coins tomorrow, give me more apples, it is a fruit that I quite like. "

 

The shopkeeper agreed "I don't know, worry noble, I will send my son and my husband to take each of the apples to your house.

 

Not a single one will be lost on the way. "

 

Anders said nothing and continued on his way, Rusell who was somewhat curious approached Anders.

 

"Because buying too many apples, I understand things like meat or food, but apples.

 

It's not a common enough thing that grows on the roads. "

 

Anders who was enjoying the apple turned to see Rusell and patted him on the shoulder.

 

"It is not the economic value or the fact that it is too cheap a fruit, it is because of the memories that eating this sweet apple causes me.

 

Think about it for a moment, your mother from life has bought you some fruit or vegetables with what little she was able to earn money.

 

If you had to eat that fruit and vegetable again, you would immediately remember the memories with it, apples mean something else to me.

 

Well, they remind me of pleasant moments in my life, because although I can kill without blinking, it does not mean that I did not appreciate, or that I loved someone.

 

But I will give you some advice that I hope you will remember throughout your life, if you are going to start a relationship you must be prepared to protect and avenge the person you love.

 

Because things will not always turn out well, because neither you nor I can be with the person we love the most all the time sooner or later we have to separate.

 

In those moments where we separate, many things can happen between them that simply the person you want dies.

 

That is why you must always be willing to take revenge in that way you will always keep the memory of that person alive and when you have taken revenge then you simply must make the difficult decision to let go of the person's memories. "

 

Russell looked at Anders strangely "But how should I forget the person when they have fought all the way to take my revenge.

 

I just don't think I could forget my mother… "

 

Anders interrupted him when he shook his head "Analyze it this way, you spend your whole life trying to find the bastards that harm your mother.

 

Once you kill them, what are you going to do, if you lost what gave meaning to your life.

 

At that moment you will understand these words boy and you will end up accepting the idea of ​​letting go of your mother's memory, that does not mean that you forget it, it is simply about changing the objectives of your life.

 

If you don't, you will simply start to get depressed and possibly end your life because you will no longer have anything to fight for. "

 

When he finished saying those words, Anders knocked on the door of the city guard barracks, from which came a man who seemed to be quite dirty and covered with dirt.

 

"Anders, what a joy to see you and because of the bloody thing you are carrying next to you, it seems that you completed the task."

 

Anders handed the head to the sergeant in charge of city defense. "I finished my work as soon as possible, but what really intrigues me is knowing why you are all covered in dirt."

 

The sergeant sighed and stroked his nose "A few slaves tried to escape and made a mess in the slave market. In the brawl, I ended up falling into a bucket of dirty water.

 

Unfortunately, due to the duke's requirements, I can't wash my body until late at night when the duke's guard is in charge of security.

 

But you know it was worth having suffered that misfortune, I saw you what I could see the work that your wife's work was doing. "

 

Anders smiled "You're talking about Ashraf, he's a good guy who knows how to use strange weapons he calls scimitar. Out of curiosity, I had a friendly duel with him and you know I was about to lose.

 

But I suppose he must have put those wretched slaves in order. "

 

The sergeant nodded as he checked the thief's head. "Not only did he put them in order, but he was in charge of beheading them so that they would never rebel against their masters again.

 

It was a good fight and something new to watch, but I don't interrupt you anymore because I have to go get your reward. "

 

Anders and Rusell only watched the sergeant walk away for a few moments before returning carrying a small leather bag with him, which he handed to Anders.

 

"You can count them are five exact copper coins, not one more or less."

 

Anders opened the bag and when he saw that it was the exact payment he smiled at the sergeant "It was a pleasure doing business with you, Jack, I may come later to find more contracts."

 

"Of course, gentleman Anders, it is always a pleasure to hire your services."
