Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 67 - Trezi Town

I am satisfied with my current progression. I just have to practice till the weekend. By next week onwards. I'll be focusing on 3rd form of the Sword Attack.

Time passes, soon it's evening.

I left the gravity chamber and freshen up myself. Before, making journey towards my home.

On the way, I am looking at sci-fi watch. After persuading Max Stewart. I got the Class 1 Monster database from him. The description were detailed. It had more info than library. I had a small smirk knowing that.

Four days later, Zack is sleeping in his couch.

Suddenly, His Sci-Fi watch buzzed.

I opened my eyes and looked at the notification. It's was reminder from Max Stewart. Day after tomorrow we will be going for Mini-Auction.

"Tomorrow, I have to complete the Assignment within a day itself and return home safely." I commented in my heart.

Some hours later, After having dinner with the family. I'm making preparation for tomorrow's journey and reading some details from Max Stewart's database.

"I should call it as my database here after." I commented in my heart.

After packing enough stuff in my back pack. I used my storage ring to store it. I looked at my surroundings to find any stuff that left out. There's none. I became relaxed knowing that.

Now, I am reading description of Assignment.

KREMARLL LIZARD - The Pseudo Monster.

Location – TREZI TOWN.

Seeing it's Trezi town, I heard its closer to Red stone City. So, one of my problem is solved. But, location is slightly difficult than previous assignment.

Outskirt of the Trezi Town is semi-desert. It's a hot semi arid climate region makes the living condition of the town little harder.

The town had water scarcity. So, to overcome that, thousands of gallons of water supplied by train from nearby cities. There is a reason for people to make livelihood there, it's because of mineral ore.

The town had mining industry. Which gives surplus fund to the town to operate despite in this harsh conditions.

Even Red Stone city provide assistance in water supply to Trezi Town. The Trezi town is a small area, if not for water scarcity. The town would have developed into thriving city.

Well, it's not important to me. What I am interested is in this Monster KREMARLL LIZARD.

It's found in the outskirts of the town. The outskirts is nothing but semi desert. My mood becomes sullen reading that. I have one day time limit. On top of it there is no connectivity. I can't go deep inside the semi desert. There is no air cab there.

I can solve water problem by storing water in storage ring. But, I can't solve transport issue. If I entered deep inside, then I have to find my way back by walking. Which would take more than one day.

Looks like I have got 50% chance to complete this assignment. I went to deep thinking. I am contemplating, Whether failing the assignment would have any consequences.

I already asked Mr. Arthur Emerson to procure materials asap. It would left bad impression on him. If I failed to do this assignment. I shook my head thinking that, it's best to figure out tomorrow.

Soon, I began to prepare battle plan to kill KREMARLL Lizard Pseudo Monster. I'm quite confident killing that, Pseudo Monster effortlessly. My Mid level strength is overkill for it.

Looking at the description, it had 300 cm in height, sharp teeth with deadly claw. It had a perfect defense with tough skin and quite Fast runner in this semi desert.

After knowing that, I became relaxed it's quite big but not poisonous. So, I can kill it without any worry. Hope I will come across any class 1 Monster tomorrow. I'm planning on saving as much as credit points possible.

Next day, Morning at the dining table.

"Have you made enough preparation for the journey?" asked Granny Park.

Only Granny and I'm having breakfast. Uncle James left early for work.

I looked at her and said, "There nothing to prepare actually except drinking water storage." It's true that, nothing needed except water. Because, the city is very close to Red Stone City. It's just like having some small trip to nearby town.

We talked about few other things. The conversation was light nothing serious. Hardly, comes times when granny talks about funny things. Usually, she won't leave me without giving enough advice.

I bid good bye to her. After having breakfast. I told her that, I will return within a day. I also sent message to Uncle James regarding my mission.

Sometimes later, I boarded the train to Red Stone City station. There is no direct train service from my home town. I have to switch over there. It's two hour journey from Red Stone City to Trezi Town.

Some hours later, I'm taking small nap. luckily, I boarded the train on time. Otherwise, I would have miss the train to Trezi Town.

There is not much passengers here, except some mining workers. They are not ordinary humans either. You need to be at least Early Trainee apprentice to eligible for mining.

Even though there is high tech machinery available for mining. They won't use it on such a low level mineral ore. It's not economically feasible. That's why they go for labour force.

Two hours later, At Trezi town.

"Finally" I commented in my heart. As I walked out of the train. I saw lot of warriors walking out of the train. Most of them were workers. They wore same uniform belong to certain mining organisation.

I removed these thoughts from my mind and focused on my assignment. I booked an air cab immediately. I told him to drop me at the border of the Trezi Town.

While travelling, I looked at the Trezi Town from above. The town is built with mineral ores. It's quite contrast to other cities. Where series of skyscrapers and glass buildings fill the region.

Looks they won't even waste the left-over materials from mining. As I saw the housings were having same brown texture pattern like other buildings. You can't even tell it's modern building or medieval one.

By looking at population of town and it's need of water. I can understand, why there is no investment in housing here. It's just the temporary town. As long as they mine the materials. This town would be active.

Otherwise, "Sigh" I sighed thinking that.

That's why I need to get stronger and move towards higher cities.

Soon, the air cab dropped me at the town border. I looked at the vast open land before me. There were few trees found in between the land. It's a bit humid down here.

I began my journey to find the Pseudo Monster. I opened the database to look at its location. It's described that, this Monster usually lives. Where there is enough shadow to overcome the heat and low temperature to survive.

I wondered, what it meant by shadow. Whether it's telling about tree's shadow or cave's shadow. As I opened the map and started to map the location.

I walked a bit distance. Soon, I came across deformed landscape. Where it's shows the evidence of river flowing. It might be flash flood. There is rarely rain pour down here.

So, it must be flash flood. As I also noticed some broken branches of trees. Which must have been washed away by the flood. I followed this path. There might be chances of encountering some monsters.

As I was waking through. Suddenly, is stopped my movements. I noticed something big. Which is not tree, when I carefully observed what it is, I gasped.

I was surprised by seeing my first monster here. My eyes were shining like stars. My lips curved a little as I quickened my pace towards the Monster.

YELLOW DOTTED SCORPION - Class 1 Monster.

The Monster is quite huge. I observed the monster. I brought the Black Sword from my storage ring and turned on my perception ability.

Soon, it covered area more than 10 meters. I noticed every tiny details around my surroundings with it. I. Also want to know whether this monster is actually sleeping or faking it.

Usually, monster will sense any threat around it sooner. It natural instinct for them. So, I have vague feeling that, it's faking it.

I hold my Black Sword in right hand and took small steps towards it. I'm aiming for it's head position. Once I cleaved it's head then it will drop down dead.

As I drew my sword to hack it. Suddenly, it's body moved. It's eyes opened using it's eight legs it moved slightly backwards.

Seeing it I halted my movements. I smirked a little watching it's actions. " I'm right, its faking it." I commented in my heart. As it brought down huge stinger to attack me.

Which had brought bright smile on my face. I swung my black sword to attack it. The black blade swung in a curve in the air. It slice the part of stinger. It's exoskeleton defense did not pose much of a strength. As the blade slice through it. The Stinger dropped down.

The Scorpion wanted to escape after witnessing it's sliced part. But, I did not give it a chance.
