Chapter 183 – A Difference In Treatment
Jhonny was happy when he levelled up thrice , this was usually not the case. Even though the bird was extremely unlucky in this instance. At most times he was very unlucky as well.
His enemies suffering a fate of -190 luck stat was terrible , however ,that did not reduce the -95 luck that he carried on himself at all times.
There were many fights where his stealth skill would fail at the last possible moment , making him an easy prey for his opponent. More often than not , he did actually die a lot.
He was far from the invincible mercenary he was in real life. If he was in a building that was to collapse in the real world , then if five people were in a room , where debris was falling , then the four except himself might find themselves buried under rubble , but he might come out unharmed. However, in Omega , if in the same scenario even if 500 people were in the same room and only one piece of debris fell , then he was sure that it would be him under the rubble.
His luck inside Omega was trash , his skills questionable . The only thing he had going for himself was his attitude . He was Jhonny English and that's that.
Rudra had gained a strong impression of Jhonny , it was sure to cause major misunderstandings down the line, however with no one voicing their thoughts out loud , the misunderstanding was never confronted.
The four continued their journey towards the elven kingdom , and experienced no more unexpected accidents. After a day of riding they reached the border of the Elven forest.
The smaller towns and settlements were about 30 minutes ride from the border , and the capital city was a 3 hours ride. Rudra and the crew needed to go to the capital city of ' Vanaheim ' , however first they required entry passage.
There was a small Ranger's Hut , at the start of the Elven forest. Most would miss this Hut , and venture straight into the Elven forest , however those who entered the Elven forest without permits were open to attacks by forest patrol an elven division who was notorious for killing adventurers bold enough to venture into the elven forest without a permit.
Only those with an actual permit from the border ranger , would gain the actual access road towards the elven settlements. Even with the border permit , one only gained access to enter or transit the elven forest. They could not enter any Elven settlements , for that they needed a seperate permit.
Rudra approached the Rangers Hut , and knocked at the door. Patiently waiting. Soon , an Elf opened the huts door. The guy was extremely handsome , his clear white skin and pointy ears and sharp jaw made him look like a k-pop star.
The elves were inherently good looking , they had beautiful features , and both male and female elves used all sorts of accessories and cosmetics to maintain that beautiful look. However the elves usually had a very cold attitude towards outsiders and were not easy to mix with.
The elf looked at Rudra and said " State your business , adventurer ".
Rudra calmly said " Requesting transit permit , into the Elven forest ".
The Elf raised an eyebrow, the adventurer in front of him seemed like someone who knew the ways of the elves , not like the bunch of idiots who passed straight through into the Elven forest without permit.
For the last whole day , he saw thousands of adventurers passing through into the Elven forest without permit. He laughed at the fates of those idiots , the forest patrol seemed to have a fun day at work , There were a few that approached his Hut , however , those idiots were looking for special quests from him .
He was a self sufficient ranger , what were those adventurers expecting? That he would send them to fetch water?
But this adventurer was different , he asked for a transit permit , he knew the ways of the elves.
The ranger asked " State your faction "
Rudra changed his equipped title to World renowned and said " Human from the kingdom of Hazelgroove , worships the goddess of light".
The ranger had a change of attitude when Rudra equipped the world renowned title , his expression much more amiable.
He said " Soo its renowned adventurer Shakuni. No wonder you are well versed in the ways of the Elves. Are the other three your companions? ".
Rudra nodded and smiled amiably.
The ranger went back inside the Hut and issued the transit permits and handed them to Rudra. Rudra took out 20 gold and handed it out to him .
The elf arched another eyebrow , he said " No need for money from the famous adventurer , you are welcome in the kingdom of Elves ".
Rudra smiled more , the transit permit was 5 gold an adventurer , although to his current finances this was not worth mentioning , when given special treatment that saved him money , he felt pretty good.
Rudra was in an extremely good mood , as he and the other's continued their journey into the kingdom of the Elves.
The transit permits were basically a runic paper made by the elves that made the patrolling forest elves know that the one's passing were friendly . The entire Elven territory was actually under a huge monitoring formation , any illegal immigrants from any part of the forest , would show up as a red blip , on the patrolling forest officers monitoring radars . They would then be tracked and hunted.
Entering with the transit permits , marked you as a blue blip , showing that you were here with good intentions , until you stayed on the paved roads and did not venture into any settlements , the officers would not find trouble with you.
This was crucial information that the current adventurers lacked. Those who ventured into the forest without the permits had only a trip back to the Church of light left for themselves.
Rudra wondered if should make another information pack about the Kingdom of Elves and sell for money?
However he did not currently lack money …. Maybe it could be used to barter with other guilds for items….
Lost in thoughts , the three hour journey was completed without any hitches , the party of four reached the gates of the Elven capital ' Vanaheim '.
