Chapter 2: Axel Mora
It took Shiro about five full days to get out of that area and reach the intended place, where he had to sleep in the open, taking the heights of trees as shelter from the night monsters. Also, you can notice that the cloth package that he carries has decreased in size a lot from the beginning of his journey, as he almost consumed all the food he prepared for his journey so that he does not waste much time hunting and making his food.
Even if all he had been just dried meat that he had prepared before, which would make you feel like chewing a piece of fabric because of its stiffness and salted taste, For that Shiro had no choice but to use some wild fruits that he picked up several days ago to change that taste. This was a necessary thing for Shiro as he does not know what might happen on the way, so to only rely on fruits is unacceptable and this is why he brought dried meat with him on his journey.
Also, because he lost his way on the road, the journey took some more time, as he was supposed to reach his destination in only four days, which made his supplies reach where they are now.
After this somewhat arduous journey, seeing the features of the city he wants to go from afar made him forget all those hardships in a moment.
Living for a full five years while forced to flee with his life and endure all the asperities and suffering to meet his goal, and for a boy like his age is counted as real miracle, and not many can do it. Or to be exact, it is completely impossible for anyone else to do the same.
This does not mean that Shiro is very strong to be able to do so, if it were like that then he would not have to run away in the first place. But the credit to his ability to survive until this far is the doing of the Arcane Seal of Disruption that caused all this suffering he is in, as well as his two mysterious artifacts and because of their special ability to move and disguise has a larger role in the process.
As a result, Shiro was always able to avoid many deadly risks and dangerous situations that could lead to his death.
So anyone can imagine how Shiro feels at this moment when seeing the features of the city from his place, even if it is still about a few miles away from him, but the huts and houses scattered outside the city here and there, and the agricultural areas that permeate the areas surrounding the city in its different colors Which suggests what it consists of different crops, all of this can ease his gloomy heart with a lot of comfort and reassurance.
Moreover, the lack of a stream of people who pursue him is the most important thing in the matter. Even if this is his first moments in this place, however, Shiro is very confident that no one will connect him with his old self with his present appearance.
"Boy, if you want to go to the city, I can take you with me. Come and ride the cart, I'm going there anyway."
Suddenly he heard a cry from afar, one of the farmers with his two-wheeled cart pulled by a gray mule, the farmer paused and called Shiro when he saw him from afar. This may sound strange, as Shiro does not know anyone in this city, but here it is a very ordinary thing and a lot of farmers and workers do the same thing, especially since doing so is a common virtue here.
Shiro hesitated for some time, because it was the first time that someone treated him with spontaneous and kindness from long ago, and when he remembers that he is a different person now, it encouraged him to go to the cart and put his package there and went up next to the man in the front, with some gratitude and thanks on his face.
"Thank you, Uncle, for your generosity."
With a little gesture on his part as evidence of accepting his thanks, the man loosened with a rein as a sign to the mule to begin walking, and since the road was agricultural, the carriage was shaking a little when moving, which makes the passenger feel like he is on a massage chair, which gives a little different feeling.
"You don't look from here, boy. Is this your first time in this city?" Suddenly the man asked Shiro.
He is a middle-aged man who looks and feels some roughness that suggests the quality of life he used to life, wearing an open brown jacket with a fair brown shirt and long trousers, despite being seated in his seat, but Shiro can imagine that he is a robust man at first sight.
"Really? Do I look that much different?"
In fact, Shiro could have answered yes and ended with that, but he wanted to know a little about what people think of him when seeing his appearance so that there will be a good reference for him in the future.
"Hmm... Actually, you look normal, but I noticed you standing there with astonished look on your face, so I thought about this. As there are a lot of people who go to the city every year for various reasons, the presence of travelers here is very normal, but you seem a little small, so I found it a little strange or perhaps you are a practitioner? "
"No... Not like that, uncle. I had companionship with me, but they went a different way, and the area was close, so I continued the road on my own."
Shiro replied with a small lie that he had made it at that moment. As for the reason for asking the man whether Shiro was a practitioner, this is a very ordinary matter in Lockedonya Continent, as it is common among people who training and gaining different abilities and skills is normal and is considered like any kind of different sport or Martial arts, and they call those practitioners. The reason for using this word is that there is a lot of difference between them, which makes the term practitioner for all of their groups.
"My name is Sam. You can call me that, boy."
"Sh... I mean Axel... My name is Axel Mora."
