BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35 The Pub
[You have killed a general from the Upsilon Empire (1/4).]
[You have gained 1000 XP.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have no gained points from the kill since you are alone.]
Seeing all those notifications, Aiden was surprised to know that he had gained almost as much experience as in his first trial total.
But this time it looked like it would take a lot more experience to level up even by one level.
After slashing the head of Oliver, the shapeshifter who had been on the ground trying to reattach himself was starting to disappear into particles.
[You have killed a shapeshifter.]
[You have gained 200 XP.]
[You need 1200 XP to level up.]
The sort of dome which covered their fight was now gone, revealing the dead body of Oliver on the main street.
It didn\'t seem to vanish like all the beings he had killed before.
\'Am I really in another world like for real?\' thought Aiden when he saw that he had maybe killed a real person.
\'Just where the hell am I? And how does the Otherworld have access to all of those worlds?\' thought Aiden, suddenly having even more questions than before.
\'Will I be able to go back to Earth?\' thought Aiden.
It was a crucial thought for Aiden, wanting to get revenge on his master who had betrayed him but there was no way for him to know how many worlds were connected to the Otherworld or if he was in a world created by some unknown beings.
Either way, he needed to complete his task to go back to Maelis and Nova, the universe in which he now lived, Earth didn\'t matter that much to him in the first place since all he did there was being stuck in a room and completing missions.
While he was thinking, he heard the cries of multiple people in the street.
"AH!!!! A dead body."
"Where? What happened?"
"Wait isn\'t that Oliver, one of the generals of the army?"
"You\'re right, how did he die in the middle of this place."
"Fast alert the guards, the killer must be close. He couldn\'t have gotten quite far.
Aiden hearing the words pronounced by some of the civilians watching this scene, he quickly left the scene and went toward the pub which was originally his objective before getting stopped by that monster.
A few seconds later, he was casually entering the pub acting like nothing had happened, as soon as he entered. The place became dead silent and they all turned to look at him.
Aiden who was ignoring their looks casually walked toward the bar, just like how you see in movies.
"What can I get you?" asked the man.
"A water," said Aiden not knowing what he could get in a pub since he had never been.
Laughs could be heard as he said those words.
"Who is that guy?"
"Is he serious, a water," said a guy while laughing.
The barman who was serving him asked him a question, "You\'re not from around here, huh?"
"Well, yeah I came here because I thought I would be able to get some information," said Aiden, telling them the reason why he was here.
"Wait, before that, you look like someone I\'ve seen before," said the barman as he started looking at Aiden from top to bottom, analyzing him.
"Yeah, right you\'re that assassin everyone has been talking about lately," said one of the guys who was in the pub recognizing him.
·ƈθm "What are you really doing here? I\'m sure someone like you would be able to get all types of information, why come here?" asked the barman.
\'Why would I be able to?\' thought Aiden, confused.
\'Fuck, couldn\'t I have just asked in what direction was the Upsilon to one of the citizens around here,\' thought Aiden, realizing his mistake.
"I really am here for information, actually I\'m here for a guide as well," said Aiden who thought that having someone guide him to the Upsilon Empire wouldn\'t be bad at all.
"Where do you want to go?" said a girl sitting at one of the tables.
"I need to infiltrate myself into the Upsilon Empire, is there anyone here who can help do that?"
After saying this, Aiden realized that he may have sounded a little rude to the others, but he soon realized that it didn\'t matter in those types of places where strength dictated how others would react.
"Oh is he getting a little cocky, I like it!" said one of the guys.
"You want to infiltrate the Upsilon Empire?" asked the same girl, once again.
"Yes."
"Then come sit here, I\'m sure we can make a deal. I know a way to get in without getting noticed by anyone," said the girl, as she pointed toward the chair right in front of her.
Hearing her say that was like music to his ears since one of his main problems was probably going to be fixed.
When he sat down, the conversations all around the pub which had been interrupted by Aiden started once again.
"So, when do you want to leave?"
The girl who was sitting across from Aiden didn\'t look all that strong. She had small arms and legs but one thing which she didn\'t lack was the two mountains on her chest that moved each time she started speaking.
"As soon as possible" responded Aiden, who once again didn\'t want to waste any more time in this place.
"How\'s tonight sounding?"
"Yes, let\'s leave tonight," said Aiden as he started getting up.
"Wait, don\'t leave so fast. We haven\'t finished talking."
"What more is there to say?" asked Aiden.
"Can you protect us if we get into a fight? Are you strong enough?" asked the girl, knowing that she wasn\'t going to be able to survive if a group of bandits attacked them.
"Didn\'t you hear the guys from earlier, I\'m the king\'s assassin. Of course, I can protect you."
"Alright then see you tonight, we\'ll talk about the payment when we meet tonight," said the girl as she made signs that meant that Aiden could now leave.
