Chapter 190: In the Darkness...
The ninja-like man took out a gem-like, colorless stone and directly handed it to Vritra. After handing the promised reward, he said:
"Keep the emblem safe. When it is time, we will find you."
After saying those few words in his rough voice, the ninja man disappeared. All the people were silent at this moment; even the king stood with utter respect toward that unknown ninja. After he disappeared, Henry laughed and spoke in a joyous tone:
"This kingdom is really lucky to have someone like you. I will help you grow as much as I can, so do your best and win in whatever lies ahead. I feel you are going to make it very big."
After speaking, Henry gestured toward his guard and added:
"This is a small gift from me. I hope you will like it, and that it will help you a little in your journey forward."
As he spoke, one of his guards stepped forward and then took out a glyph from a storage glyph, then handed it to Vritra.
"This will create a protective barrier that could even take up to three attacks from 2nd Legion-ranked fighters. It can be spread up to a range of twenty meters. It will protect you until you have surpassed that stage," Henry spoke in a jovial tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Vritra said as he placed the stone and the cube in his inventory. Just in a single day, he had obtained two glyphs—one a storage, and the other a defensive type.
"Although my understanding of the glyphs is not too high, it is still better than most in these small kingdoms. This kind and noble king believes he is too sly.
