Chapter 8, Oldman

After the encounter of Aunty Helda.

Walking on the street I could feel the air around me and noises since my sense is sharper than an average person, but still couldn't see, I have the upper hand in sensing.   

…………….

‘’Hey is that kid blind? His been walking around for a couple hours now with closed eyes since the beginning’’

‘’Of course he is, idiot! Who would try walking around for hours closed eyes unless you’re blind’’

‘’Poor kid’’

I could hear people saying am blind or something…

Will let’s just ignore it…

Walking around hearing all kinds of information and rumors as well as insult and pity, however I need more information since I was not satisfied.

Walking and finally meeting a suitable person.

At the corner two people, talking, both are female.

“Did you hear something this morning they say there’s a new rumors going around’’

‘’Ah, about lady Amatra they say she was cheating and pocketing the money of her husband”

“Ah the Item shop, will that’s new”

I could hear their conversation

“Hello there beautiful lady’s”

The two Lady’s stopped their conversation and turn around and look where the voice came.

After looking the young man head to toes the Lady’s giggled.

The Lady on the right side smiled and spoke first.

 ‘’And what would be this young man want to talk to this pretty lady?’’

They giggled again.

I smiled widely and the Lady on the left suddenly come closer and picked me up, then the Lady on the left side return to her chair and she make me seat in her knee.

‘’Hey! Aida~ isn’t he cute?’’

‘’yap yap, but Aira~ he said he want to talk something? Ri---’’

(Hey it’s rude to call a man cute you know)

Before I could reply the Lady at my front spoke first.

‘’Poor child’’

She began to wave her hand in front of me.

‘’Aira! This young child is blind’’

But Aira’s face didn’t change at all and talk.

 ‘’You didn’t notice?’’

I stopped there talking and jumped off from Aira’s knee and bowed.

‘’Let me introduce myself I am called Ciel am here to collect information and am willing to pay the right amount’’

At first they didn’t believe what am saying but when I saw them 1 gold coin they give me information of what they knew about this empire, and every subject I give them 1gold coin and they happily accept the gold coin and said my farewell but before that they kiss my forehead first.

From what they told me this empire name is waterwick, from the south and they control many kingdoms and this empire is near the water area and they also talk about story and rumored.

Sadly they only know less, because they didn’t go far from there houses.  

After that

I follow the presence of strong people going out and in, so I guessed it to be the Adventurer Guild…

‘’Hey man look at that kid’’

‘’wahhh seriously’’

‘’hahaha who would thought a blind kid would be loss ahahhaha’’

‘’ahhahaha’’

I think my forehead did just grow a vain in it, this is making me angry damn it bastards…

Now am pretty sure that am inside the adventurer guild, and in front of me I could smell a sweet perfume.

‘’Hello’’

‘’Oh hello there young man can I help you’’

Then the woman look at the young boy for a second and gasped.

‘’Are you loss young man?’’

‘’No, am here to make a request’’

The people on the table around laughed.

‘’aahhahaha did you hear that hahahah’’

‘’that little shit is making a request hahaha’’

‘’Request my ass kid hahhahah’’

‘’hahaha this is so funny hahha’’

Calm down me, control, control……. Sigh heavily.

Wossshhhh……

Then the woman throw something with a loud thud at the people that are laughing at the table.

‘’hey you fucking de*k heads, shut up or I’ll kill you’’

The place turn silence

‘Gulp’ the people around me sallow their saliva.

The woman, after confirming that no one objects, she turned her gaze at the young man.

‘’Sorry about that young man, but we can’t just say yes you know’’

‘’Will I guess your right but am here to make a request and am willing to pay the amount, and am not loss’’

The woman thinking for a second and asked the child

‘’very well, so what’s your request young man?’’

‘’I want to hire helpers’’

‘’what kind of helpers do you need?’’

‘’have big built for carpentry’’

‘’I see, and are you sure you knew how to write this paper for your request, frankly you can’t even see you know’’

The people at the table could not hold their laughter anymore.

‘’ahhahaha that shit really want's to hire helpers hahahah’’

‘’Who would want to work with blind kid hahhaha’’

Then the woman throw her chair at the people on the table..

Boom!

‘’SHUT UP OR I’LL FUCKING POKE YOU’RE EYEBALL’S OUT OF YOUR HEADS’’

‘’Shut up! damn it! am still talking with the client’’

The surrounding turn silence ones again.

‘’Sorry about that young man’’

‘’Nah, Its ok am use to it, and am pretty sure no one would hire bird brains and muscle brains anyways’’

The men on the table twitched their eye brow but did not do anything since they don’t want to anger the woman who was talking with the boy.

‘’ahha you sure knew how to speak, will are you sure you can write?’’

‘’Will am pretty sure~’’

‘’Ok, here’s the paper and feather pin’’

I could feel the wind going through me so I guessed it to be the paper passing it to me.

‘’Also here’s the magic crystal write your name here and information’’

‘’Ok’’ 

And I touched the crystal that was on the table...

‘’Heh, you really do know how to write’’

‘’Of course, I know, will then I want to hire 50people for labor’’

The woman, close her eyes and think for a moment and open her eyes and spoke.

‘’Are you sure you can pay? That would be 20gold coin but I will give you a discount for 18gold coin how about it?’’

The woman smirked.

Hmm is she trying to test me?

‘’ahahah don’t be like that I know it’s just 15gold coin am pretty good in calculation you know, also am will informed’’

The woman smiled even wider.

‘’Heh, you sure knew your staff will since you’re a fine young man, I will give you a discount 10gold coin’’

The woman holding herself not to laugh, but after hearing the young man reply the woman could no longer hold it and laugh

‘’Pft, hahahahah, you’re really interesting, will it’s your choice, then, ok sign the contract, here you go’’

I finish signing the contract, also they will be calling me back by using crystal magic stone, if they finished arranging the helpers and afterward I say my goodbye at the woman or the receptionist but not before I leave her a letter and the woman face turn serious, she want to ask something but I did not let her and leave the Adventurer Guild.

…..

 Walking on the street

‘Hmmm’

Ah the faint smell of rusted meat Its sweetness sure is nostalgic.

‘’Mister’’

The Old man in the shop 1meter away, his balding gray hair above onyx eyes as sharp as an eagle's, he had an imposing set of well-trimmed long mustache. His build was lean with just a bit of belly, his thick arms a remnant of wrestling days long passed.

The Oldman in the shop look around and scratched his head will thinking, am I hallucinating, it sure is hard being old, but he suddenly heard a sound of a coin dropping, looking below his stalls he finally found the owner of the voice just now, a ‘customer’.

‘’Hello their young lad can I help you?’’

‘’I want to buy some rusted meat’’

The Oldman in the shop look at the young lad with pitying eyes ans spoke.

‘’That would be 1silver’’

‘’Here’’

‘’Thank you young lad……but why did you give me 2silver?’’

‘’I heard people pay 2silver each slice so I paid 2silver’’

The Old man heart was touched to think there is still honest people so the old man try to give free slice but.

‘’Thank you for your generosity but I can’t take advantage with your kindness, bye, bye mister’’

The Old man was shaking to think a young child to be so smart and honest toward other and would not take things that other gives and furthermore he was blind and it must be hard for him, what a wonderful child the Old man think.
