Once again the orange hue began to shine signifying the new day the lad picked up his stuffs, went to the mouth of the cave leaped and descended crashing into the ground.
He stood up with a large sack in hand and swung over his back as he started walked in the direction he faced slow exiting the mountain range stepping foot into a valley and the fresh land breeze caress his face and he drew in a heavy breath and sighed continuing on his journey.
**************************************
"What is your purpose of visit?" a man clade in a black tailcoat with a saber strapped to his waist his eyes giving an ethereal flow of wind.
"I came here to distribute this month worth of stocks" a man in a regular brown coat and white dress shirt on the inside while he sat on the driver seat of the carriage
The green eyed man examined the male on the carriage having a sense of repulsion.
His eyes darted between the man and the carriage then he turned towards on his men behind him and said in a commanding tone "search the commodities but don't damage them otherwise it will be deducted from your salary".
The men responded and immediately got to work and the entire search took at least two minutes "all clear" one of the sergeant reported, saluted and returned to his station.
The green eyed man nodded as he moved and ushered the carriage in and signaled for the gates to be raised "don't forget to pay the toll which is .8shardcoins".
As time went on the same procedure was repeated both importing, exporting, hunters returning from hunting trips with spoils to sell to butchers, chefs, blacksmith and the likes. That a normal day in the khar'gixx region
The sun at its peak and a figure emerged at the distance swaying left and right his body deploying measures to cool its temperature his breathing coarse, feet unable to separate from the ground, his movement dawdling.
Cold air feel on his weakened body then he realized he had reached the vicinity of the gate and the draining sensation was elevated.
"Stop where you are" an egotistical voice reverberated the area and a jittery expression dawned upon his disposition as he exhaled nosily his head slightly tilted to the side and his eyes rolled in a lazy manner.
"State your business" tone aggravating causing the muscles on the lad's face to twitch casting his gaze on him his face was appalled and honestly who could blame him.
The silence was deafening, his gaze insouciant and at this point he didn't have nor want to dissipate what little strength or brain power on this sorry excuse of a lieutenant
Donkey face strode over to the lad examining him from all side and halting in front of him "you may be a hunter out there but I call the shot around here so you better answer when your been questioned"
He placed his hands on the lad's shoulder and made a face so irresistible to punch
"You have three seconds to get your hands off me" his voice triggered so many survival instincts, some were paralyzed without even knowing others, other became conscious on the ground and this was just his tired voice
"Alex! What the hell are you doing?" snapping donkey face back to reality "can someone tell me what is going on?" the green eyed officer observed the perimeter
I "well I was asking that rug rat what his business was and he started threatening me" his voice quaking as he spoke and his body shuddering.
"Wow even in the face of death you can still run your mouth impressive" the voice so familiar and at the same time distant reeled in the attention of the green eyed officer and his eyes opened in enlightenment.
"you…Youn…" the green eyed officer stuttered "it's been a while Arnold" the gaze of both men landed on each other one in total shock and awe while the other in rather calm and gentle manner".
"Young master-" his voice was intercepted "don't call me by that title you know the situation on ground don't you? Besides I just came to do some stuffs and I'll be on my way" he smirked.
"but of course youn… sorry Asher please continue on your way" he gestured with his hands, the lad as he passed by and suddenly halted " ahh yes you better your officers well otherwise they would beget the wrath of something beyond your power".
He walked by and paid the walked into the city meanwhile the other sergeant were trying to digest what just occurred and Arnold noticed this , he cleared his throat "alright all of you get back to work and you Alex come to my office" and walked back to his station.
Alex blinked twice trying to make out what just happened but that would come later as he followed Arnold behind him.
After a while a door was swung open before Alex and before was Arnold with his fingers crisscrossed his gaze place a heavy pressure over the entire room and the door slammed.
