Chapter-10: Map

A week later, somewhere along the wilderness and what it seems to be a campsite, a group of people sitting around the campfire, eating and talking, a little girl around 16 years old from the camp, who seems to be noble young lady, sneaking glances at a tall young man in black robe, leaning against a tree.

The tall young man is none other than Robin, who is on his way to the tulip kingdom after accepting the academy mission, he is also sneaking glances not at the young girl but women beside her, who seems to be her step-mother.

Even though Robin’s mental age is around 36, his body is now belongs to a healthy young man, who is experiencing puberty after all.

Even with his extraordinary control over his body, he still cannot fully control the natural desires of this body and he does even want to control these things anyway.

As for the curios glances of the little girl, sorry he is only interested in older and big sister type women and not interested in brats. He only got Goosebumps when he the little girl looked at her.

But her blonde stepmother on the other hand is a different story all together, she is totally his type but the problem is her fat husband, he seems to be pretty suspicious guy, always keeping her near him.

“Damn fatty”

Robin cursed silently and stopped thinking about it. It’s been a week since he started his journey, after taking the mission, he bought a carriage from the market for 100 gold coins and without any delay he directly set off to the Tulip kingdom.

Along the way he met the caravan that, he is currently in and decided to join them. Even though he can reach the destination faster if go by himself but after being regularly harassed by bandits in the wilderness, he decided to join the caravan.

Of course, he not afraid of bandits or anything, after all, even the bandit he met during the travel is only an apprentice knight and when he brutally slaughtered his companions before his very face, he literally soiled his pants.

The leader of the caravan is man named, Joseph and he is veteran knight. He also got much experience in the wilderness than Robin. So he decided to tag along.

According to his estimates, it would at least, take two to three weeks to reach his destination. While he was thinking this, Joseph came to him with a bowl soup and white bread. After handing the bowl and bread to him, he said.

“How are you doing Master Robin?”

“Doing well, Captain Joseph”

After some small talk, Joseph started talking about the true purpose of his visit.

“Master Robin, do you have miracle potion”

Even though, Robin does not directly reveal his wizard apprentice status to anyone, it is not hard for experienced people like Joseph to deduce his identity by observing attire and temperament.

For which Robin is not surprised but he however, surprised by the guts of joseph. Most mortals don’t dare to actively approach wizards, due fear of being killed or dissected.

It may be due to his approachable look, the knight mustered his courage to ask but longer Robin delayed, more nervous he became.

After giving his a deep look, Robin answered.

“I do have miracle potion, but what can you offer in exchange, you should know, I not short gold”

The miracle potion is name given by mortals to lesser stamina potion. It is essentially a diluted version of stamina potion.

Stamina potion, as the name suggests, used by wizard apprentices to recover stamina and it costs 2 magic stones.

The miracle potion is cheap alternative of the stamina potion. It is generally used by apprentices to reward their knight servants.

For knights, it has the effect of rapidly restoring physical strength and mild healing effect.

Some rich nobles even use miracle potion for enhancing their sexual performances.

This is also the reason for its name, “miracle potion” but for knights, it’s lifesaver during battles.

Since he is going home, when he set off from academy, he bought dozens of “miracle potion” for his father and elder brother.

Hearing that he has miracle potions, the knight visibly overjoyed.

“Don’t worry Mater Robin, I do have something you might be interested in”

And the Joseph took out, what it seems to be a piece of an incomplete map from his inner pocket.

What surprised Robin was the material, which the map was made of, it’s seemed to be from some kind of demonized beast leather.

Since it is made of demonized beast leather, it’s most likely, the map has something to do with wizards.

Robin instantly became interested in the transaction, but his face remained indifferent.

Seeing that his indifferent face, Joseph’s heart sank and hurriedly started explaining the origin of the map.

Joseph got this map from an enemy he slain during his early days and the enemy’s ancestor happened to be a knight servant for a wizard apprentice in his time.

Seeing that, the map is something to with wizard, he decided to find the place from the map but after years of searching, he failed to find anything, so after seeing Robin, he came up with the idea for exchanging it for miracle potion.

After listening to Joseph’s explanation, Robin directly quoted his price.

“It doesn’t offer much use to me, how about one bottle”

After some negotiations, both parties came to an agreement and settled for 2 bottle potion, in exchange for the map.

After getting the map, Robin took out two vials from his bag and handed it to Joseph.

After examining the material of the map Robin further concluded that the map must be at least from a high level demonized beast.

Even if Robin does not find the location in the map, with the material alone, Robin made a profit.
