The Craftsman

Chapter 71

Daedalus only stopped making potions when a bit of light hit his eyes. Glancing towards the window Daedalus realised that it was morning all ready. Getting up Daedalus grabbed all of his things and walked out of the door.

As Daedalus reached the city gate to the north west, he looked back for a moment. Daedalus turned back to the gate and stepped out into a different empire, the Grand Alchemist empire!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days into his journey to the capital, to enrol in the college. Daedalus could see in the distance a grand and large city. However before he could continue walking towards the city he heard someone speaking behind him as well as a thick dealing of danger. The person said "Move a step and I will kill you. Now hand over all of your valuables and you can live!"

Daedalus of course didn"t and instead activated a array he had attached to his arm. The array was built so that Danforth could teleport to him in times of need. The person behind Daedalus however didn"t notice this but was annoyed by his inaction on their orders and said "I said drop the valuables and you can go!"

However before they could say more a small light appeared and they where frozen in place by a thick pressure. Danforth had gotten the signal and immediately teleported to Daedalus" side.

Daedalus quickly turned around with Danforth there and saw to his suprise an astonishingly beautiful women. The woman was slim but not to thin, had curves in all the right spots, her face was perfectly balanced and she was also about as strong as Daedalus in all forms of cultivation. Daedalus immediately said to Danforth "Allow her to speak please, I want to know why she would try and steal from me."

Danforth nodded and the girl suddenly said "Sherry help!"

Daedalus and Danforth where surprised to find a women as strong as Danforth had appeared. The woman was made out of what seemed to be some form of liquid however she was quite beautiful. The women immediately removed the pressure from the girl with a frown and said "Why did you attack my disciple?"

Danforth immediately said "We never attacked her, I only applied a pressure to stop her from attacking daedalus. Who are you?"

The woman seemed to sense that he was telling the truth and looked at the girl. For a few minutes their expressions came changing before eventually the girl that attacked Daedalus backed off. Daedalus and Danforth where confused at first but had quickly realised that they where talking telepathically.

The liquid woman turned to Daedalus and Danforth saying "I apologize for my disciples behaviour and thank you for sparing her life. She says she saw that you looked rich and simply couldn"t resist."


The woman sighed exasperated and continued "She has always been like this due to her past as an orphan. Again I apologize for her actions."

Daedalus nodded in understanding and said "Well she wasn"t intending to kill me so no problems. Where are you headed?"

The ladies looked at eachother before saying "To the college that will be opening soon, she is an alchemist and this is the best place to learn about alchemy on this continent."

Daedalus was slightly shocked and then laughed while saying "It is nice to meet you fellow student! Why don"t we head there together?"

The girl seemed to think about it for a while before eventually saying reservedly "Sure, but you lead the way."
