LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 2: The impostor
Nolan's point of view
...
...
Currently my group and I are escorting an impostor, yes you heard right, an impostor
An idiot who pretends to be the great Rudeus Greyrat
And how do I know? Well, maybe because I was at his funeral?!
In fact, it was there where I met the girls who would later become my teammates.
I remember it very well even though it was 5 years ago....
It was in the magical city of Sharia
When I heard the news I was in the magical tributary of Basherant and I headed there as quickly as I could, I had heard many things about Rudeus Greyrat, obviously the most famous is That he was the 7th strongest person in the world, although I could never see him either in life or in death, but his influence in this world is too great not to know him.
In fact, so many people attended his funeral that it became a media event.
With the help of the teleportation circles many sycophantic nobles including
The Already deceased Queen Ariel Anemoy Asura went to Sharia to pay their respects.
Even The North God Alek Kallman III and The Dragon God were seen at the funeral
His two surviving wives, along with their children and grandchildren, accompanied Rudeus Greyrath's ashes to his grave, where more than 5,000 people attended his funeral ceremony.
Obviously the magical tributaries did not sit idly by and sent guards to calm the masses and maintain order at such a massive event as this one.
Even opportunistic merchants were seen outside the cemetery to offer their "funeral souvenirs", which are bloody stupid if you ask me
I met my current Comrades at the funeral, obviously all 3 of us are fans of the great Rudeus Greyrat , so we decided to honor him by naming our group after the first group he formed with his 3rd wife Eris Greyrat, and the great warrior Super Ruigerd Superdia
So yes.....
And to think that an idiot noble wants to impersonate him and in such an important place in the life of Rudeus Greyrath
If I didn't leave him here it was because we could get some money out of him by escorting him.
But I still want to see what this fourth-rate imitator has to offer
Although from what I can see the idiot only investigated up to before Paul Greyrath died hahaha
Rudeus's POV
..
..
We have been traveling for approximately 6 hours to the city of Rapam, and my escort group does not stop bombarding me with questions about my life that I honestly do not even know why I am answering...
-And how did you meet your wife Shilphiette Greyrath?-Nolan said as he stared at me
-Well I met her in my hometown Buena, She was 6 years old and I saved her from some bullies, although well...hehe at first I thought it was a boy....
-I see- said Nolan and Hilda at the same time
-And how did you meet Roxy Gre....I mean Migurdia.-Romira said with some expectation in her eyes.
-Well I met her when I was 3 years old and she became my magic teacher and taught me everything I know today- I said while I created a small ball of water and created a glass of dirt to drink it from.
-hmmm magic without enchantment huh?,You are definitely talented Rudeus hehe- Romira muttered to herself
-Eh?, you know the magic without enchantment?- i Said surprised.
...well it is not something that is unique in this world but I have not seen many people do it without counting me, Sylphie and Julie...
-Of course we know it, idiot, the great Rudeus Greyrat discovered the theory of the mafia without enchantment, now with enough talent anyone can do it!-Nolan said as he scrunched up his face and silently conjured a mid-range fireball And he threw it into a mound of sand
-Hey idiot, don't waste your mana like that, mafia potions aren't free, what will we do if the monsters attack or we get ambushed?!-
Hilda said very angry
-Mana potions?- I said confused.
-duh, mana potions ¿You don't know them?-
Hilda said as if she was watching a preschooler?
-w-well.....-I could only say that
(sigh)-Mana potions, as the name implies, help regenerate your mana just by drinking them. The great Rudeus Greyrat invented them to regenerate the mana of the Dragon God Orsted- said Romira with An expression that reminded me of my teacher
-Regenerate mana?!, Dragon God?!!- I said scared
-Pfft, this idiot doesn't know anything about Rudeus greyrath-Nolan said as he mocked me.
-Nolan!!- Hilda said angrily
...
...
The ribs of the dead behemoth from Rapam City were becoming more and more visible at the same time as the city itself, I helped Dead End dispatch some monsters along the way with my Magic, but Nolan said something about not giving me mana potions... Seriously, what's wrong with that kid? He's already wearing out my patience, if it weren't for the fact that I have Returning to Rapam would have already given him a beating
....
-Okay boy we have arrived at Rapam-Hilda said as she looked at me.
-Yes, now pay us to escort you-Nolan said as he extended his arm towards me.
-Nolan..... -(sigh) -I'm sorry about that, but we need some incentive for escorting you here-Hilda Said with a fake apologetic face
Well considering that they helped me get to Rapam it seems like a fair reward, so I gave them the equivalent of an Asura coin for their help.
Before we went our separate ways Nolan took me by the arm and spoke to me
-Hey kid, your imitation of Rudeus Greyrat was halfway decent, if not know he died and I would have believed you haha, but seriously be very careful idiot, the people of the Rudo mercenaries have it Deified, if they catch you talking like that they will beat you up-Nolan said as he met up with his team and wandered into the streets of Rapam.
...
....I've arrived at Rapam
-now I have to find Paul and my team and figure out what the hell happened-I said as I ran at full speed towards the inn.
