The New Companion Part 1

"A companion is like a mirror, reflecting your true self without judgement" --

Early in the morning, Shia boarded the Caravan to the capital carrying the four magic users that he was supposed to sell there.

"Is there anyone else who will buy you?" Shia teased them.

The capital is said to be quite far away, it will take them two days, so Shia thought of pulling the caravan as long as there was a direction to give him and everyone agreed with what he said, but he needed blood with this everyone was afraid of what he said.

"Sir Shia, you can have the sheep if you want just don't hurt us?" Caravan merchant.

"Kekk-ke-ke-kek yes I don't drink human blood I promised my late-wife before" Shia replied while laughing.

Shia now has the strength to pull the Caravan, he has been given directions to the capital, he can go to the capital by himself but he prefers to accompany them because there may be bandits who will block them and destroy there Caravan. When Shia pulled over, everyone screamed because of its speed, so it only took them a few hours and they reached the capital before dusk both parties thanked each other and went their separate ways.

(At Emerald City - Capital)

Shia wears a disguise so that he doesn't make a commotion here. People stare at him not because of what he's wearing but because he's carrying the four magic users who are tied and pulled by him. A little while later, a big man with an axe came to him (The one who was mentioned by Julius earlier)

"Excuse me Sir, where will you take them?" Axe guy asked.

"Well I'm going to sell these four idiots who cause a commotion at Dünen village. Do you know a shop nearby? What do you call this? Uhm a Slave Trading Company? Shia replied.

He said he had been looking for the four for several days, because this is the mission given to him by his organization.

"Actually Sir, It's not the Slave Trading but the City Knights (Police of this world) Axe guy said.

The Axe guy tells Shia that he is a mercenary and this is the mission given to him and he also gave the poster and letter from his organization, this is what is written;

"Find these Four Magic users and kill them, bring us the heads" *with picture of the four*

But he chose to surrender it in the City Knights even though it was against their rules, because he wanted the money. Shia looked at the letter and poster.

"Hmm? You're from a dark organization mercenary aren't you?" Shia asked with a smirk.

"But I'm not going to judge you by your activity, relax"

"How did you ... " Axe guy dropped his reply.

The axe guy didn't answer here and accompanied him to the City Knight's, while walking Shia asked this.

"If you don't mind, may I know your name?" Shia asked.

"The name's Lothar, Lothar Stealthaxe" Axe guy replied.

"Lothar Stealth..Axe? Wew, what baddass name huh?! Kekk-ke-ke-kek " Shia teasing him.

(At City Knight's...)

When they were about to enter, the guards blocked them, only one person could enter to receive the reward while the four magic users were at the prison guards to be handcuffed with anti-magic. After receiving the reward Shia noticed that Lothar left but he followed him teasing him as they walked. Shia really wanted to share the reward with Lothar but he didn't want to accept it because he said he didn't do anything to catch the four however, Shia still insisted, but Lothar really didn't want to. He doesn't want to accept money that he didn't work hard for

*Shia whistles*

However, Shia wants to treat Lothar to drink and he agreed they looked for a pub together in their search then Shia noticed the scenery of the Emerald City ...
