Chapter 114 - Noble District

I thought that he only had that cloak magic but it seems that I was wrong as I am now certain that he used his other skill to defeat one of the Elite Skeletons just now. I still can't believe it, how he managed to hide the fact that he could use other skills. 

I really wanted to demand an explanation with Vicar right now but he was still busy fighting the remaining Elite Skeletons. I could see from a distance that Tane didn't believe his eyes as he saw Vicar moving so quickly, he then realized that Vicar needed his support as he continues to shoot the arrows. 

That really made the Elite Skeletons confuse as they didn't know where to target. In this battle, I realized something with the Elite Skeletons. It will only target the people that were attacking it at the moment, that's why the Elite Skeletons were confused now. 

Thanks to that, Vicar could easily break the second skull and only one of the undead remains now. It will be easy for now as we had the advantage right now. Still, I wouldn't guarantee it will be 100% easy as other undead might come from anywhere. 

I had learned that as well when we fight the Elite Skeleton for the first time. Because we were being careless, Vicar could be crush by the gigantic mace. Luckily, he uses the teleport talent to save himself from being squash by it. We should be careful now as well. 

As the undead could crawl out from the ground at this moment. If that happens, we would really have to fight and it will cost us more time here. I really hope that doesn't happen as we need to deliver these reports immediately and join up with the captain at the town gate. 

Vicar delivers the final blow to the last Elite Skeletons as I see it skull shattered into the ground. Tane running up towards us as we already defeat the undead here. 

"Are you okay?" Tane asks Vicar as he was the one that doing all the jobs here.

"I'm okay... See no scratch at all." Vicar said. 

"Sorry I was not able to be much of a help back then," Tane said that as I could see that he was feeling a little guilty. 

"You did help me, thanks to you I was able to finish all of the Elite Skeletons," Vicar said that as to cheer up Tane a bit. 

Tane's face seems to cheer up a little as he becomes his usual self again. "Yes! Without me you could not defeat the Elite Skeletons..." Tane said proudly as if he did the job of killing it. 

"Enough about that, we should hurry up to Lord Framer place and deliver this report." Vicar reminded us that we still haven't finished our job that was given by Captain Callum. 

With that being said, we immediately rush to deliver it. We keep following Tane and finally, after a few minutes, we were out of the alleyways and has entered the noble district. As soon as we enter the noble district, we noticed that this place has become totally different. 

This place was not usually full of people but when the town was in danger right now, this place was full of town guards and adventurers. Some noble might already buy the service of an adventurer just to protect them, well I will not blame them for that as they just wanted to be safe. 

"Okay, we just need to find his house then..." Vicar said that as he didn't know where it at. 

"Sure we will just, Wait! You didn't know where Lord Framer place is?" Tane asks Vicar as he was surprised that Vicar didn't know. I would assume that he thought Vicar know where it was. 

"How would I know? I have never been to his place before..." Vicar said that. 

"But shouldn't as a people of this town know where their lord place is?" Tane wonders how Vicar didn't know the place.

"I'm not even considered as the people in this town by all the people here," Vicar said.

It makes Tane a little bit confused when Vicar said that, he then ask him a question. "Are you a traveler? It will explain a lot if you were a traveler." Tane said as he awaits Vicar's answer. 

Vicar didn't want to tell Tane about it as Tane might no be his friend if he knows where Vicar comes from. But he couldn't keep it as a secret forever. He then decided to tell where he actually comes from and it was from the slums.

"It is because I've come from a slum, you do know that this town doesn't consider the people from the slums as it citizens. Now you know the truth about me, now you will hate me now as you already know who I am." Vicar said as he sees Tane's reaction. 

Tane just simply smiled at Vicar and he said something to him, "I know the people in this town hate the people of the slums as there were the people that always commit a crime, murder, and other evil stuff... It's true that I also hate it but I will not hate you, Vicar."

Tane put his hand on Vicar's shoulder as he continues what he was saying, "You were different from the rest of the people there... Despite that this town had given you nothing but hate, you still wanted to protect them and I could see that with my own eyes." 

"And the last thing is that I will never hate my friends..." Tane said that.

"Thanks, Tane, you were my first male friend," Vicar said that as I saw that tears come out from his eyes.

"No need to cry Vicar, this is not that emotional..." Tane said that as he also saw it. 

"I'm not crying... it just the dust had entered my eyes," Vicar said that as he was soon able to change the topic. "Let's not focus on that, we should be searching for Lord Framer place." 

But it seems that there has been a problem right now, both Vicar and Tane didn't know where Lord Framer place was located. We realized it when Vicar had said that, the only option we had left now was just to ask the people around here for the direction.

Of course, it will not be that hard, people in the area was usually cooperative. Even though the nobles might not help us we still could ask the town guards that have been assign here, as I am sure the guards will give us the location of Lord Framer's house. 

We walked further in the district as we all agreed that it's better to ask a guard, we then spotted a guard guarding one noble house. We approach the guards and ask them where the location of the lord of this town as we need to deliver a report from Captain Callum to him. 

"You need to take a left turn ahead and just go straight, the biggest mansion in that area will be where you could find Lord Framer." The guard said to us the direction.

"Thanks! Really appreciate, while we currently talking right now... Mind if I ask some other question?" Vicar said to the guard. 

"Sure, just ask ahead... I will answer it." The guard said that as he letting Vicar ask him about something.

"It's just about the current situation in the noble district... It is safe here?" Vicar said. 

"Well, you could say that this area was the safest in the whole town, as there were adventurers guarding this place..." The guard said that to Vicar. 

"It's good to hear that some part of this town is still safe," Vicar said as he really relief that this area was still safe.

"I'm sorry, I might be exaggerating it a little... This area is indeed safe but still, there was some undead sighted here, it just that the adventurer deal with it very quickly." The guard apologized to Vicar.

"I thought so... there no way that the undead would not come to this place. Thanks for answering my question, I will be on my now." Vicar said goodbye to the guard and appreciate him for telling all of the information that he needed to know. 

Vicar and Tane then follow the direction given by the guard earlier, we first turn left, and then we have to go straight. We did that and from a distance, we could see there was only a mansion that really big in this area. The guard was right as we could spot in quickly. 

We then walked to Lord Framer mansion, there we see some adventurers guarding the main entrance of the mansion. The moment we arrived at the main entrance, the adventurers stop us and immediately ask us why we were doing here.

"State your business here kid! Lord Framer didn't want to see anyone right now..." One of the adventurers said it to us.
