Chapter 41: Migration office
Chapter 41: Migration office
After waiting a little bit Mike received a pouch filled with money from the guild master
"I hope you choke and die on it"
Mike opened the pouch and spilled the content on the counter before he began counting it ever so slowly, then when he was done he gave a nod
"15.000. Not bad for half a day's work"
"Now get the fuck out of here"
"Yeah yeah No need to be so annoying is there..? Unless I killed some of your family? Well whatever"
Mike shoved the coins back into the pouch and turned around before he looked at the adventures that were surrounding him and the rest of his group as a red light started shining in his eyes before he began speaking
"Now if you guys don't want to die then get the fuck out of our way!"
The adventures moved out of the way, all but a young adventure that looked at Mike with eyes filled with hatred before he drew his dagger and spoke
"You killed my family! You son of a bitch!"
Mike gave a smile and patted Serina on the side before he asked
"You hungry girl?"
Serina let out a growl as she melted into the surrounding air disappearing from view, the next second she appeared behind the young adventure and bit down on his arm that held his only weapon instantly crippling it before she ripped it off outright
"AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!"
A pained scream sounded out as Serina pushed down the adventure before she put a paw on his stomach and tore off a leg and ate it while the adventure screamed in pain eventually passing out from the pain, Serina munched on the leg for a while as sounds of breaking bones sounded out in the quite guild before she bit into the stomach of the adventure ripping out guts as the adventure awoke again from the pain screaming, Mike watched the display with a slight smile before he walked over and stomped on the neck of the young adventure breaking his neck and ending his suffering prematurely as Serina continued to tear him apart, Mike showed a smile as he spoke
"This is what happens to people that oppose us Bare that in mind before you a blinded by greed or your so called justice, Serina stop eating that you'll get a stomach ache"
Serina gave a ruff and stopped eating before she began licking herself around the mouth as she looked around at the other adventures, Mike gave a laugh before he turned and left along with the others, after the group left the adventurer's guild was filled with gloom, several people were filled with unwillingness and wanted to take revenge for the young adventure that had died in vain, that is until they looked at his mangled corpse and got other plans
Once they left the guild Mike and the others wasted no time getting on Serina and Molly before they quickly left the city behind, after all they would be in trouble if a level 4 suddenly showed up
'Well maybe not because Julie is strengthened to level 4, but I would rather not take risks with my life or Julie's for that matter, even if she would revive I have no idea what the side effects are of becoming a blood zombie, that's why I have sample one and two'
Mike gave a slight smile as he looked back at Elina that rode behind him on Serina
"What is it, master?"
"...Nothing, I expect good things from you in the future"
"I will fulfill the trust you have put in me master"
The next few days of travel happened without incident and on the fifth day they began nearing the ocean, from a hilltop they watched the endless blue for a bit before they began the journey towards the port city they could see in the distance
When the group arrived in the port city Mike noticed that there were a lot of level 3's on the streets, clearly he and Julie weren't the only ones that wanted to go to a higher mana density island, Mike took Julie's hand and spoke in a quiet voice
"Let's keep a low profile"
"Yeah"
However even as they kept a low profile after walking through the city for a couple of minutes a couple of people followed behind them, Mike showed a slight smile and made some hand signals to Elina and Rebecca that quickly split from the group leaving Mike and Julie alone with Serina and Molly, Mike whispered something to Julie that gave a nod before she blew a whistle that made Molly fly into the sky, Mike patted Serina on the side before she melted into the surroundings disappearing from view then Mike warped his arm around Julie and pulled her close making her blush slightly as they walked towards the migration center that was a grand building in the middle of the city, when they arrived in the central plaza a group of people suddenly stepped out in front of them blocking their way quickly making an encirclement with the people that were following them
'Well, this is to be expected'
The leader of the group that surrounded them had greed all over his eyes, he didn't publicly condemn them however as he was aware that there were other people watching them and they likely would want a share of the pie if they knew, Mike of course knew this too, that's why he had to finish this quickly before it drew more attention, then the leader raised his hand signaling the people around him to attack, there were seven of them in total but only five launched attacks as two of them found their throats slit by Elina and Rebecca that had silently snuck up behind them, another was munched on by Serina that suddenly appeared behind her while a third was busy fending off Molly that swooped down from the sky and severely injured him in her first pass so in reality Mike and Julie only had to deal with three assailants and with Julie being strengthened to level 4 she made quick work of two of them by sending their heads flying, Mike exchanged several exchanges with the last assailant before he landed a shallow wound on her hand and them muttered
"[Drink]"
The last assailant let out a ghastly scream as she turned into a dried up corpse, Mike gave a slight smile and pulled Julie into his arm again and continued towards the migration building, the people in front parted way for them, after if there was one thing that was generally respected then it was strength and Mike's group had just killed off seven level 3's in mere moments, after walking across the plaza they arrived in front of the grand migration building and went inside, the inside was a big hall with a wide reception desk, but oddly enough there was not too many people queuing up
'Well 5.000 per person is rather expensive so maybe that's why..? Well there's also the requirement that you have to be level 3'
Mike queued up along with the rest of the group and after waiting for a few minutes it was their turn at the desk, a gorgeous receptionist with a slightly bored expression on her face looked Mike and the rest of the group over before she spoke
"Welcome to the Thera migration center"
Mike gave a slight smile, he could sense that this person was clearly over level 3, no wonder she had such a bored expression on her face, if he was over level 3 no amount of money would make him work as a receptionist, surely there must be some special circumstances
"Hello, we would like to migrate to Thera"
The receptionist gave a nod
"Four people and two beasts? In that case it will be 40.000 for you all"
Mike walked over to Serina and took a rather heavy pouch off her saddlebags and handed it to the receptionist and spoke
"There should be 40.000 in there"
The receptionist didn't answer she simply opened the pouch and began counting the coins, when she was done she gave a nod
"40.000 have been received, I will now open a case for your group, please tell me your names and levels one by one"
"Mike level 3"
"Julie level 3"
"Elina level 2"
"Rebecca level 2"
The receptionist gave a nod as she wrote on a document then she took a crystal ball from behind the counter and put it up top before she spoke
"Mike and Julie please put your hands on the crystal ball so I can confirm your level and class"
Mike gave a nod, he knew that this was coming so he decided to just go for it and put his hand on the crystal ball that then lit up with a vermilion light, the bored expression on the receptionist disappeared with this as she spoke
"A demon, how interesting"
