Sam and I had everything packed before The morning arrived. We went to Sam"s father the night before and got his blessing. Unfortunately we have to leave the country. The king can reach us too easily. This country is messed up. Everyone was outside the manor when we were leaving giving a few gift or saying goodbye. Morgan and I just nodded at each other while Gerald and Sam gave each other a hug. After that we left.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The road was long and made of bricks. As we walked I heard about the countries of this world. There are 4 of them based on 4 continents. The Northern Continent of Ice Galmara. Full of magic users and Beast Men. The Mountainous Western Continent of Belmac which is a continent of magic-less uses that focus on brute strength and strategic values. Mostly dwarves live there. Eastern continent of Water. Melra as it"s called, is a continent of commerce and the arts filled with elves of all kinds. Last but not least is ours.
The country of Weremar. Originally a country of werewolves that was annihilated by some strange occurrence. It was later filled with a mix of humans and the other creatures of the other 3 countries. Our country doesn"t really focus on one specialty or type of trade. According to Sam we are going to the continent of Belmac. " It"s a place where the king won"t dare try to approach. You make the wrong impression on the wrong dwarf and they all hate you." She said. I have a feeling this king is truly born under the star of a fool.
As we went down the road I caught a smell that was familiar... ( Sweat?) I thought. I looked at Sam. Not a thing. And I don"t sweat. As I thought this my detect presence kicked in. Two on the right. Three on the left. I sent Sam a message. { We have company.} She nodded. The next second she disappeared and I slowly crawled into the gra.s.s. I came across the 3 on the left. (d.a.m.n bandits!) How could I not know what a bandit looked like. Hey were wearing country clothes but they had spears, daggers, and swords. They also wore bandanas with a strange two headed cobra symbol on it.
Sam"s voice whispered through my mind.{ Ready.... Go!} I lashed out with my paralysis tongue at the bandit closest to me. I hit his temple and he was out. The other two noticed their comrade was down and turned to fight. ( Too bad for you.) I spun at the first with my tail breaking his arms as he brought them up to defend and sent him tumbling and screaming. The second swung his sword down at me but I jumped to the right. His sword smashed into the ground kicking up dust and dirt in a cloud around him.
" Where"d it go?!" I heard him yell.
" Behing You." I hissed as I bit down on his right shoulder. He started screaming but was silent seconds later as foam came out his mouth and blisters formed and exploded into flames. " Bad match up for you." I turned to one of the bandits that was still alive the one with broken arms. " Hahahaha! You got us but your girly friend is about to get bent over by our boss once he"s finished with her! Hahahaha!" I bit into his shoulder and ripped his arm off. " Ahhh!" He screamed until the poison in my bite got him.
/ Host has consumed human blood. Possible human transformation capacity unlocked. Need more DNA for procurement./
( Disgusting.) I thought as I spat out the arm.
I Turned to the one that was paralyzed and finished him with a bite to the neck and a spray of blood.
/ Host has acquired more DNA. 3 more required for possible transformation unlock./
I breathed some flames to get the taste of blood out of their blood out of my mouth. ( That is the worst thing I"ve tasted so far.) I thought as I jumped across the road to where Sam was. She was facing a giant man in a circle of unconscious or dead bandits. Seems my detect presence didn"t work as well as it should. There must have been 10 of them.
I sat to the side. Sam didn"t have a scratch on her. The man she was fighting had a large battle axe. (His strength must be ludicrus to wield that thing.) I stared at it then at Sam.
" Do you want me to take care of him or leave him to you? The two of you have been staring at each other for 5 minutes...." I said loudly. Sam huffed at me. " I"ll take him! Just give us a second!"
I let them be. Sam suddenly rushed forward swinging her broadsword in an uppercut to us chest. He spun his axe to parry the blade away and swung at her legs. She quickly rolled over the blade and swung at his back gouging out a long scratch. ( That man has tougher hide than he should.) He turned around while Sam was trying to get better footing from her roll and grabbed her leg.
" Too bad girly. I"m part troll. Haha!" He went to rag doll her into the ground. But my tongue got in the way. I struck his forehead with it and a sticky blue substance covered his forehead and eyes.
" Ahhhh!" He screamed as he let her go trying to wipe off the sludge that I had left there.
" Too bad for you that I"m her familiar." I said mockingly. Within seconds he was on his knees with his head in flames from my poison. I walked up and set the rest of him ablaze. Sam suggested we go around and gather the bandanas for proof of defeat. All in all we gathered 13 bandanas. Some a little singed from my handiwork. We also retrieved the big guys axe since he didn"t have anything to identify him. Sam carried it strapped on her back till we reached the closest town.
We got to the port town of Clovers Tide. Who"s guards were fairly easy going. Except when they saw me they d.a.m.n near had a heart attack. Sam spoke to them and calmed them down and I showed them my ability as a familiar by using the human language. Apparently not many monsters are intelligent enough to learn it or just don"t have the capacity for language period. Only Familiars are guaranteed to have it because of our contracting with humans for some reason.
They took us to a big building where I had a metal collar put on me with some symbols. I still haven"t learned to read yet though Sam will teach me at some point she says. This adventure just got a whole lot better. I"m already getting excited thinking about the adventurers guild.
