Chapter 21: Subordinates

Ok sorry for another late chapter. I have been stripping a roof of shingles all week long and if you have ever done it you know its hot, dirty and tiring work. Lucky me come Monday all my problems will be solved by an acual roofing company so you probably don't have to worry about even more late chapters. So without further ado

Enjoy

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next morning i found the Ero-Ice goddess sleeping under the bed as per my order. Last night she had been threatening disintegration when she could no more disintegrate me than i could her so i made her sleep under the bed since she had a fantastic time underneath it yesterday. When i went to go wash up in the restroom down the hall i opened the door to find the poor maid girl from last night standing there with bloodshot eyes. 

“Hey you, did you stand here all night!”

“Of course, mistress did not dismiss me and i live to serve mistress.”

….she still saying mistress…

I walk off shaking my head. I really need to find a spell or something to deactivate Charm. I head into the bathroom only to find Silva following me in. 

“I think i can do this part myself.” i said in a monotone voice to her.

“Of course mistress” she said then backed out the door whilst bowing.

There are all kinds of soaps and perfumes inside. It looks like Silva already invaded here. I take a bath and scrub off all the filth that had accumulated from running and fighting yesterday. I ended up taking 2 baths when the water in the first turned brown and i was still covered in crusted blood and ash from the fireballs yesterday. I was careful when washing my right arm and leg, but the stubs had already scabbed over after i ripped them open yesterday. I think i’m in permanent shock or something because i’m pretty sure soldiers would have PTSD a long time ago if they were in my shoes. Maybe it’s because i’m young and springy as a child, although sis did called me PTSD with legs after i explained it to her. 

I finish up my bathes and wrap myself in a robe provided by Sillva again and while she washed my boar hide cloak and burning my leather training gear i had underneath, but you will be missed soft leather and plain cotton. Some servants come to dress me up in dresses or something as per the princesses orders but i dismiss them when Silva comes back with my cloak. Since Silva and another maid got into a somewhat heated fight about my appearance and how it was unacceptable to only wear a cloak without anything underneath so they compromised and allowed me to wear my cloak over Trousers and a tunic. 

When i exited the bath house i was met with a tall Fae in a green gossamer dress and glasses. 

“Hello i am Freelia, Princess Hulo’s personnel assistant. The princess is currently in a meeting and must not be disturbed, but sends her regards. She has scheduled a meeting with you this afternoon at the 15th hour to give you her answer. So in the meantime how does a tour of the capital and a brunch afterwards sound. 

Well that's to be expected. She would need to discuss this with whatever advisers and informants she has, and i am not so naive as to think she didn’t recognize the value of my cloak with it being made of rank 6 materials. She's probably going to organize some sort of test to see if i am truly who i claim to be. Most likely i will have to retrieve something or someone, or maybe kill a certain low level target to test my strength. 

Now while i am not an assassin my AGI is higher than a regular assassin and sneaking around dangerous monsters and Demonic animals had given me practice in staying invisible. Even if i don't pass on stealth, i can always put over 100 Skill points into upgrading my AGI, not that i want to though. Not to mention after some alchemy lessons from kyanu let's just say i know how to make more than medicine, but to do that i need an alchemy workshop which would conveniently be located in the earth fae capital that i am about to take a tour of.

I agree to the tour around the capital and tell he i first have to retrieve some items from my room, but of course i'm not retrieving anything. I motion for Silva to join me and pull out of my Spatial storage one of the Boars teeth. 

“I want you to go sell this in the city, but make sure you are in disguise and no one follows you back.”

Simply put i need money. I don’t have much to sell and i’d rather not a rumor of a Fox child going around as an assassin get out so the quickest and easiest way is to sell the items i got from the boar. There should be a Auction house or something of the sorts where she can go and put it up for auction. 

Auction houses are places where a customer can bring an item of great value and auction it off to many prominent figures with the auction house taking a healthy commission off the top of the profits. Many wealthy families attend these auctions and bid hundreds of thousands of Red Magi Crystals  which was is the premier currency in fae society. The currency ranking is White

Magi crystals are small crystal rods about as big as a finger that are worth different things depending on their luster and shade of color. The crystals are made by investing a large amount of mana into a piece of Wyvern crystal. If it was that simple people would make their own crystals all the time rending the currency worthless, but what prevents this is A) Wyverns crystal is produced by a Wyvern and Wyverns while they are not as tough as their legendary cousins the dragons, they are incredibly hard to kill. B) the method of creating them and the techniques used are a jealously guarded secret that only a Fae King would know and the fae that manage the production are placed under a magical oath that will kill them if they should ever think about betraying that secret. 

“Of course mistress, it shall be done.” 

And the last problem is what to do with the still nude goddess under my bed. I can’t exactly ask for a bigger set of clothes as that will raise suspicion and she can’t stay there because more palace maids will undoubtedly be going in the clean it sometime while i’m gone. Then i think of something. 

“Oi, ero-goddess get out here and stay quiet.”

The goddess comes out from under the bed looking quite haggard. I somehow come to the conclusion that she didn’t sleep a wink last night. 

“I demand that you return me to my realm you little kidnapper.” she said whilst glaring at me.

“And again i will remind you i didn’t kidnap you, the pet roulette thingy did. And anyway you're all i have from the whole giant killer boar thing---no wait a sec.” i say when i suddenly remember there was more to the Level 100 rewards thing.

I quickly pull up my menu and start checking to see what changed.

My class had changed and i gained a new stat, Subordinates. Whatever force that runs the menu seems to classify the goddess along with Silva whom i used Charm on as my subordinates. I wonder why my class changed so i concentrated on Arcane Fencer and a notification popped up.

Arcane Fencer

Well that's good at least. What about subordinates.

OH yeah, i struck gold. I wonder what kind of skills the goddess has. Gotta be something good right she's a goddess. I concentrate on the pets category and it opens up to a Catalog where there's only one entry, Hyuna, Goddess of Ice. I concentrate on it and open up a menu similar to my own.

Status: fatigued, Frustrated,(Restricted Immortal)

Dammit, i forgot immortals were forbidden to meddle with mortal affairs. If i had to speculate whatever brought her here restricted her powers similar to a Divine Being descending to the mortal realm. But that doesn’t mean i’m not happy after all i’m sure a bunch of this stuff is useful in some way but i don’t have time to sort through it right now. The 2400000 Subordinates thing must be her worshipers i guess which makes my 2 seem kind of lame ignoring the fact that she now works for me. 

I have an idea that i hope will work and not fail horribly or i might be forced to send the goddess to hide somewhere not particularly good considering she isn’t wearing any clothes. 

I Concentrate for a second and suddenly the goddess who was looking pissed disappeared.

“Hey, what did you do.”  A voice sounded from within my skull.

“I put you into my spatial storage. I thought hey maybe it’s like a █oke█all so i tried putting you into storage and it worked.” i said beaming. Oh the stuff i could do with this.

“That's not how it works, you can put anything living inside a storage space!” the goddess said as if protesting against her treatment.

“Well it worked and beautifully at that. Now be careful in there since there's probably a bunch of raw meat and stuff inside and i don’t want you spoiling it.” 

“Foolish mortal, A spatial storage space is just a void space with a limited compression field. Depending on the strength of the field you can store more inside it. Your Meats and such are nothing more than a speck of dust in here sustained by a preservation spell formation to keep them from being crushed to dust when you put them in. Not even an immortal like me could rip a hole inside here.”

“..really.” i said with a little turn of my head and smile. That give me an idea.

I bid farewell to Silva and start walking with the assistant lady. We are show to a gilded carriage with the royal symbol on the front and a pair of beautiful white staggs pulling it. 

“Well now let's not dilly dally, please get on board.” she said while opening the door for me. 

I guess the princess gave orders to be careful not to offend me until she has made her decision. The carriage starts moving and as we start the tour of the capital of the earth fae. Moving down cobble stone roads lined with glittering runes we make our way towards the avenues towards shops, restaurants and parks.

“So tell me a little about yourself Fraxia was it? Where do you hail from.” she said with a smile.

Looks like somebody wants to know about me. I am not inclined give people more information about me that could well be used against me in the future so simple solution, keep it vague and mysterious. 

“I come from a place much more savage than you can imagine.” i said thinking back to my high school days.

“Oh my how terrifying, you poor thing and such a young girl too. You must have had a wonderful person taking care of you.” she said with a fake smile. I have a feeling a viper is hidden behind this facade.

Nope, unless you count the queen of funerals. Lets try a different approach. 

“Nope, in the orphanage you had no one but yourself to depend on. Even if you got in trouble with one of the corrupt guards no one would bale you out so you learn quick. 

“Oh the thought of it. Don’t worry as long as you cooperate with the princess you will definitely find a place where you belong. 

Arrogant bitch. As if i would negotiate with a princess and not have the brain cells to tell when i’m being taken advantage of. 

The carriage rode by several very prominent shops apparently as my escort wouldn’t shut up about them all. Really i just want to get to the industrial side of town where all the dwarven refineries and dwarf run shops where. Since i lost my arm I've been thinking on what i’m going to do when something from my childhood occurred to me and in that instant i thought to myself ‘duh, we are so doing that'.  Once the bone sells i should have enough funds to procure the materials and necessary tools in order to fix my little limb problem no pun intended. 

The Carriage rode on for another half hour before we started going through the industrial parts of town and I asked the escort lady if i may get out and explore a little. She frowned and asked what for so i made up an excuse that we had been sitting in a carriage for so long that i wanted to out and explore the shops and restaurants. Honestly if this lady ever loses her job i seriously doubt she would ever make as a tour guide. She says it's ok and i get out and am greeted by rows upon rows of swords and armor. 

Well i’m in the right place. All around i can see smoke stacks billowing Black and white smoke. Bronze and steel weapons and armor decorate the avenues and the high end items are displayed in eye catching store windows. The people walking around include mostly dwarfs but there are the occasional kobold and golem laden with ores on its way to the various refineries. I do see many fae elites here as well looking for good weapons and armor.

Fae elites are unlike any other fae I've see. Kyanu told me a bit about them but it doesn’t do it justice. Tall graceful figures combined with intelligent eyes and beautiful appearances. Most fae with a few exceptions like the dwarfs are visibly appealing but Fae elites take that to a whole new level. All fae have pointed ears but elites have not only that but tattoos of archaic designs running up and down their arms and some even have gossamer wings while others have shiny black armor made of something i cannot discern. 

Fae elites are the guards and soldiers of the fae. They are bred to be superior in both magical and physical arts like magical super soldiers. Wings and armor are are a distinct marker of the kind of jobs they hold. Unknown to me i had caught the attention of such an individual. 

(AN note: Imagine a magical captain america, but he also has wings.)
