Chapter 69: Name
69 Chapter 69: Name
"Roberto was happy to present the gold coins to his family; all three were crying tears of happiness and hope.
I found myself crying in my heart; I only have 8 gold coins left. Holding the coins tightly, I kept them in my ring.
"It's hard to be poor," I thought to myself.
Watching Elsa, she was still swinging her new sword, excited. She really liked her new gift, it seemed.
I was more than happy with my new sword; I didn't need a new armor. So, the only thing missing was the armor that Roberto would bring for Elsa, but right now, he was spending quality time with his family. I don't want to interfere, so I'll just wait quietly.
After a few minutes, Roberto went to a specific place. Seconds passed, and he brought back armor in his hands. He came towards us and went straight to Elsa to hand it over. There was a breastplate, pauldrons, vambraces, and knee guards, etc.
It was a silvery-blue color in parts; it looked very light. Even in Elsa's hands, she could hold them without any problem.
"If you want, you can try it on," I said to Elsa.
She quickly began to put the pieces in their respective places. With the entire armor on, Elsa looked amazing. The pieces fit perfectly on her body.
"You have a good eye, old man," she must have some kind of ability, I'm sure. He literally just looked at her for a few seconds and managed to know her measurements...
"Don't underestimate me, boy. I have a lot of experience in this field," Roberto puffed up his chest with pride again.
"Whatever you say," he's very proud, hahaha, but in a way, it's also very amusing.
"Did you like the armor?" I asked Elsa. She nodded her head without taking her eyes off her new armor. "So, Roberto, how long will it take you to pack everything you want to take from this place?"
Roberto started looking around his workshop. After thinking for a while, he replied: "It'll only take me an hour at most," he said calmly.
I still can't understand how he'll transport this entire place... damn, I'm so curious to know how he'll do it.
"Let's go outside first; I don't want you to dirty and stain my workshop with blood," Roberto commented.
Feeling somewhat stunned and shocked by what he just said, I went outside with Elsa from the workshop. The same happened with Nicol and Ema.
20:57
Once everyone was outside the workshop, Roberto stood in front of everyone. He took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into the wall next to the door.
Click! Click! Click! Click!
He began to turn it counterclockwise four times slowly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The whole place began to rumble and shake. Sounds of metals clashing echoed throughout the place. Under my watchful gaze, I observed in a state of shock as the space inside the workshop became smaller and smaller.
Boom! Boom!
With all the sounds throughout the place, the space continued to compress at a rapid pace. In the end, nothing was left, just a dark and gloomy void. Nothing, absolutely nothing!
In the middle of the place, you could see a black cube. It was 20 centimeters wide and 15 long. This was what was left of the workshop. I didn't expect that, it's the tallest.
With my eyes wide open, I looked at Roberto. "Surprised?" he asked with a mocking smile.
Without understanding how all that place managed to turn into a cube like that without more, Roberto walked towards the cube and picked it up with one hand as if it were nothing. It didn't weigh anything.
"Wait, how come that cube doesn't weigh as hell?" I asked skeptically.
Roberto, passing the cube as if it were a simple plastic ball between his hands, replied: "It's quite simple, really. This workshop was created by my own hand, so I created a mechanism with some magic. As the owner of the workshop, weight doesn't exist for me. On the other hand, if someone wanted to take my workshop, they could never even lift it a few millimeters off the ground."
"I want to try it," I wanted to check if what he just said was true.
"As you wish," Roberto said, shrugging and placing the cube on the floor.
Standing in front of the cube, I squatted down and placed both hands on the cube. Putting force on my arms, I tried to lift the cube... but nothing, it didn't even move. Applying more force, the cube remained the same as before.
Huff... Huff. "I give up, it's impossible."
"I warned you, kid," Roberto laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. So, let's go to your house so you can pack everything you need," I said irritably.
"Daughter, do you want to carry the cube?" Roberto asked Ema.
"Yes," she replied enthusiastically. Roberto gave her the cube in her hands, and Ema looked at it with her bright eyes and a little smile.
"He did it on purpose, that bastard," I thought internally. Maybe Ema, having her father's blood running through her veins, has the ability to carry the workshop.
"Okay, okay, don't get angry," Elsa, on the other hand, was trying to cheer me up.
Once we arrived home, Nicol quickly got to work and prepared all the clothes they had as a family, along with some valuables. Since I couldn't carry all this because it would definitely attract attention, and also our journey to the inn would be much slower, I decided to put everything in my dimensional ring. Looking at my ring, I never knew the size it had inside.
It took us some time to put all the important things in my ring, but once everything was in order and I made sure nothing was left behind, we left the place. We received the same strange looks from the people who lived in this place, but they never dared to make any move.
The journey back to the inn went smoothly. It took us a few hours, but right now, we're standing in front of the inn. Passing through the door, we went straight to the same receptionist to rent another room.
"Excuse me, miss, is there by any chance another room like ours in this place?" I asked.
"Yes, we now have one with the same characteristics as your room, which the tenants just left. How long do you want to rent the room for?"
"For four months, please," the last four months I have in this city before starting my life at the academy.
"Perfect, sir. That would be a total of 5 gold coins with 20 silver coins," Roberto had already given me the money to rent the room. I also took the opportunity to rent the remaining 4 months, since we're here, also in my room. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Looking resentfully at the fact that I now only had 2 gold coins with 80 silver ones, I cried silently in my heart.
Their family's room was next to ours, so it's easier to keep an eye on them. We said goodbye, and each one entered their room. Once inside, the day was over and I felt very tired. Elsa beat me to the bathroom and quickly went to bathe. After she left, it was my turn. Coming out of the bathroom, my mind and body relaxed. I felt very comfortable. Sitting on the chair next to the window, it became a habit that every time I went to sleep, I would lie down on the chair and look at the starry sky. Below me, the street was still very lively.
Today, without a doubt, was one of many surprises. The first and most important thing about this, undoubtedly, was the sword I got, a weapon suspected to be rank 7, an imperial-level treasure, a very powerful and unique weapon. Just by having one, you'll become the target of many people in the empire.
But obviously, I'm not the only teenager who has one right now. There's also another person my age who has in their possession a weapon as powerful as mine, and that is, of course, our dear protagonist Ezequiel. He has in his possession an imperial-level spear, the same rank as mine, but a different weapon. I don't remember the name of the spear, but what I can vaguely remember is that it was of a pure golden color.
With another thought, the sword appears in an instant in my hands. It's very long and beautiful at the same time. I think I should give it a name. Roberto told me he didn't name it for some reason.
Taking it out of the sheath, the black part of the sword is as if it merged with the darkness of the night. On the other hand, the red part shines intensely.
It's a very curious contrast, to be honest. Looking at it intently, I think of a name that could fit it perfectly.
Smiling, I say its name: "Radiance of the Solstice." "Radiance" means splendor or intense radiation of light. This represents the red part of the sword. "Solstice" represents the black and mysterious part, unpredictable and solitary.
Nodding my head, I'm very satisfied with the name I gave the sword. In fact, it's a good name. With another thought, the sword disappears from my hand.
Walking to the bed, I lie down and get comfortable. It's time to rest."
