Chapter 6: Chapter 6: The Gatekeeper’s perspective
After i dropped the kid and the girl off at the inn, i requested an audience with his majesty. A day later, my request was granted.
"Your majesty, if i may." I requested
"Speak." He ordered.
Just the sheer pressure of his words give off the feeling of a supreme ruler. The presence of a king is no joke.
"Yesterday, at the gate, a girl brought a kid who had suffered immense injuries and was passed out on the verge of death.. and explained that they were assaulted by a giant boar.."
"And?" With an uninterested tone, and expression, the king asked.
"She reported that the kid managed to completely freeze the boar and some of the trees in it’s direction."
"Did you confirm, if what she said was true?"
"Yes, I summoned mages to perform treatment on the kid while i went to the scene. It was exactly as reported. The boar had been frozen in solid cold ice. I used up quite a bit of my energy just to melt it."
The king perhaps realising the value that the boy possessed, asked another question. with a grin on his face.
"It took a former famous fire magician a bit of energy to melt ice made by a boy? Where is this boy?"
