Chapter 9 - The Outsiders.

"So, the entire gold there was left for our survival, you gave it some girl that you met less than a week ago?" Children did the dumbest things, because well they were children according to Silver.

Seraphina replied with a nod, "We don't have to worry, that lady who saved us gave a month worth of rent and paid for all the food and doctors too. She said that I could do anything with the money she left me."

" A month? That's what time Alsana has given me to get myself going in this unknown place while, there is a going to a wanted poster with my name and face in the entire nation after what I did to that warlord or, could have Alsana killed him?"

There were two questions Silver needed to have answers to at this point, "Where did Alsana go? Why did she have to resort to have us live in the area where we so close to the warlords? And who much did she tell Seraphina?" there were three question in total then.

"Seraphina... mind if I call you Sera?"

"Yes. What do you want to ask?"

"Sera, did you the what did the lady tell about where were we from?"

"She told me that, we were some wealthy family in the northern mountainsides of Uro. We were escaping from the north when the wall broke down for a while, and we were caught inside a small spell of some kind. She was the one of who saved us from that place and brought us here."

"Did she tell you anything else? About what should we do next, like is there some contact of her that we need to meet here?"

"Nope, but she told me one important thing that I need to tell you. But we need to make sure that no one can see from the outside."

Seraphina immediately curtained up room, and made sure there was no sunlight inside the room, after that she climbed on top of a stool, and signed Silver to come closer.

In the tiniest of voices she whispered, "..."

After saying her lines, Seraphina jumped down from her stool and uncurtained the windows. Silver was frozen after hearing those whispers. 

"She also asked to take her advice as literally as possible." 

Silver looked at the large dark castle standing menacing in the center of the city. "If what she says is true, then this place is a impenetrable fortress, where we are safest and in the most dangerous place at the same time.That's why she wasn't scared of losing the money" 

" Sera, I think I need to a walk outside to get a good look of the city. Won't you stay were for a while."

"Why?! I can show you around the entire area, why friends know each and every corner of this sector."

"I also want to make friends of my own. If you will be with me, how will I make friends? So, stay here while I am out, you can call your friends to play if you want."

Silver tried to push himself to his coat, but he was remained in a second that he still couldn't walk straight, and Sera had to grab by his leg to prevent him from falling.

"I think you should focus on fixing your legs first." 

" I think I might need to."

*grhhhh....

The sound of stomach's growling made Silver's face red in front of a smug gremlin smile by Sera; "I think you aren't no saviour, you were asleep for a week, the doctor have you potions to week you going, I think you should eat something now."

"the doctor?! Yes that's right, the doctor that should be Alsana's contact in this city."

"Yes, I think I might to have a conversation with him. That person has been helping us a lot. He might become my new friend."

「The system has finished the body scan.」

"There are severalinternal[1] injuries due to me overdoing the task. I can't do much of my powers for the next few days."

"Uncle..uncle."

Sera tugged Silver's pants, pointed at the something in the air.

" What is that blue floating screen? I can't read what is written on it."

Silver turned his face left to right, then right to left repeatedly and frantically;

"Sera close the curtains. I want to sleep."

Sera instead of obeying to the authority, kept his grip fixed on the leg." I will not leave you until you give tell me what that blue screen is!"

Silver turned off his system screen and tried to play it off," What are you talking about there is no blue screen. What are you talking about?"

"It was right there, I saw it. You were reading something from a blue screen, it was floating in the air, and had some gibberish written all over it. I definitely saw it."

Silver slapped his head with his hand, " Why can Sera see my system? Is she connected with it? Does she have a system of her own?" 

A thousand that Silver wanted answered, but there were eyes in the sunlight; and maybe ears too. So, every word Sera spoke could take them into deeper trouble. 

"Okay! I will tell you everything about that blue screen. But first I need to eat, sleep and get my leg fixed then I will tell you about that blue screen and all the gibberish on it. Now, can you please close the curtains and let me sleep."

"You promise!"

"I promise, my lady!"

Hearing this Sera reluctantly let of leg and ran to close the the curtains of the room. And ran right out of the now dark room.

Silver laid down straight on his bed, wanning already he was ready to sleep after seeing and hearing all that was going on; but... 

「 The system has a new message for you. Do you want to read it now?」

Silver thought of seeing it later, " I should see it quickly it." 

「Congratulations you have defeated a high ranked enemy. The system had calculated your reward. Would you like to see it now?」

"Yes."

At his word the system screen popped up showing Silver's rewards for defeating the warlord.

"!" After the seeing the screen, Silver was about to have the best sleep ever. His feet rubbed against the bed, and he tried to hide a bloody scream.
