Chapter 15

It takes Darius a little while to find the McRoy farm, but he soon does and he looks around as he walks up the road to it. Someone walks towards Darius, presumably Franklin McRoy, as the man is wearing overalls and a large hat. “Franklin I’m guessing?” Darius says as he stops in front of the man. “Tha’s right, you are?” “I’m Darius, an adventurer.” He then pulls out the badge he got in the guild.

“Tha’s good, if ya follow me I’ll show ya the little bastards.” Franklin turns around and walks back down the road towards his farm, with Darius following him. After 5 minutes of walking Franklin turns into one of the fields, leading Darius through it, they soon arrive at a patch of barren land that has a large hole in it. “Tha bastards are down there, I’ll let ya work.” Franklin then turns around and walks back through the field.

Darius nods as he looks down at the hole, frowning slightly. ‘I want to be smart about this, I’m thinking of putting up a few earth walls, but that will get rid of my mana real quick. Since I want to focus on magic, I need more mana, or more regen. Right now the problem is mostly regen, so let’s go with regen.”

Darius opens the status, and puts his attribute points in wisdom. An unexpected screen pops up in front of his status screen.

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

Trait gained: [Patient]

Double mana regeneration gained from wisdom.

Patient huh, I wasn’t expecting you to get something like this. Seems a bit too forward thinking of you.

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

Darius then shakes his head ‘Well shit, I guess increasing your attributes to a certain point unlocks traits then? That’s good to know about.’

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

Darius nods as he looks around a little ‘Well, that makes it a bit better, I now gain a little over 1 mana a minute.’ He then looks back down at the hole, before he looks around and walks a bit to one side. “Rock Wall” As he casts the spell the ground in front of him shakes slightly before a 10 metre long section lifts up to 3 metres in height. He does this again behind the hole and on the other side, paying enough attention to see that nothing has left the hole yet.

Darius walks around to look into the hole again, waiting for his mana to refill to full. After 25 minutes, his mana is finally full again, before he looks down into the hole. He points his hand at it before casting “Fire Bolt.” The fire blasts into the hole, ripping through the ground. Darius draws his sword while he waits in front of the hole, and soon he hears something coming up it.

He blasts a few more Fire Bolts into the hole, hearing some quiet screams from inside it. He soon runs out of mana, stepping back from the hole as a few rabbits come running out of it. It takes Darius some time, but he manages to kill all of the rabbits that have come outside. He then checks the quest screen.

Description: Franklin McRoy posted a quest in the adventurers guild to clear his farm of rabbits threatening his livelihood.

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

Darius sighs, nodding as he looks around a little. He then turns to walk back through the field, leaving the den and the bodies of the rabbits to go look for Franklin. It takes him a while to find Franklin at the farmhouse, but when he does he says “Alright, I’ve killed them all, the bodies are still there if you want to use them for something.” “Ah tha’s good, I’ll get ya pay. I’m sure I can use tha bodies for something.” Franklin says as he walks into the farmhouse, he comes out a little while, holding a coin pouch. “Here’s ya pay, 10 silver.” Franklin takes the coins from the pouch and hands them to Darius.

Darius nods as he takes the coins “Thanks Franklin.” He says while he puts the coins in his pouch before he turns and starts to walk back towards the town.
