Chapter 28: Around the campfire
Moments before Lucen woke up, Knight Garett was patrolling the area. As he was walking around, he heard some of the soldiers and mercenaries talking to one another.
"Is it true that the young master gave the finishing blow to the dragon?" One soldier asked.
"Yeah, the little leader used the powder you put into those sticks of yours and blew it up in the dragon’s wound. If that wasn’t enough, when it was trying to get up, he used a spell that made a similar explosion but a little weaker. The dragon could not stand up after one strike." A mercenary responded.
"Our young master, really did all that?"
"Yeah, everyone here at that time would tell you the same thing. No one would dare try to take the little leader’s credit."
Listening to their conversation, Garett looked at the giant dragon being dismantled, and still could not believe the tales. Their once sickly young master was able to defeat a dragon, even though it was young and wounded.
"Tell us about those sticks of yours? What are they?" A mercenary asked.
"Sorry, can’t tell you much since this is a secret. But I can tell you that this is the young master’s creation."
"The little leader made that thing?"
The mercenary asked. Even though Lucen had shown them one incredible thing after another, learning that he could not only fight but was also good at creating things was something else.
Even Garett and his fellow knight Roland were truly surprised when they saw the performance of the arquebus.
