Chapter 27 - Escape from Igdur

Henry who's stealthy mission has been broken, now runs. He runs above the crates and below the cages. He didn't meet with Kar. He successfully reached the entrance of the cave. As he moved away from the cave he saw the soldiers of Igdur galloping towards the bandits hideout in their rides. He believed that they came to resolve the illegal trafficking. So, in order to prevent any unnecessary involvement, he rode back to the path. Then he rode with now rescued night.

He reached the city closest to Igdur and reunited with his team. They were having a nice meal in which Henry intruded. They seemed not worried. Then Henry sat down to join in on their meal. As he was having his fill, he listened in on the people's conversation. There were many informations like, the war with elves has not achieved any result, and the three pirate kings has started their activities and blah blah. Among them there was one info which drawed Henry's attention. It was the fall of the soldiers who were stationed at the city of Igdur. 

Henry was shocked as he had almost destroyed the hideout and the soldiers could have easily resolved the remaining bandits. But he wondered why. 'purr purr' night brushed against him. "Anyway you are safe". And the day passed.

Now there was only one city between them and the capital of dwarfs kingdom. On that city Henry saw a swords store. He was tempted to visit it. In that store there were many swords suitable for all types of fights. Among them , one sword caught his eyes. There was nothing great about that sword, except for the material that was used in its creation. The material was something that herny had been searching to improve his bionic arm. So, he asked the merchant about the sword. The merchant described that sword as one produced from the royal academy in the capital, and that he doesn't know of the material used in the sword. 

Now, Henry had another mission which was to find the person who made this sword. Kali and Falk had some work in that city hence they asked Henry to take some rest at an inn in the town while they finish the work they have been given. As there was some time before night, Henry decided to check out the quests in the guild. Tina who was scared at first decided to join Henry to go to the adventures Guild. The guild as usual was filled to the brim with strong warriors. He walked towards the quest board to look at the variety of quests that were provided there. There were many quests and Henry was confused on what to choose. Then came an enthusiastic fellow. He was different from the other adventurers he was small, maybe a dwarf with a huge smile on his face. He intruded as "Are you looking for a porter, Sir." he asked. So he was a porter. As henry was about to take on the quest of hunting monsters, There would be a lot of ears to gather and carry. So he accepted his invitation of him being their teams porter. Then the guy introduced himself as Vah. then he ran into a dark corner in the room and dragged out a big bag which was out of proportion. It was more than four times Vah's size. "Are you able to carry that." he replied with,"Yes, it is fitted with a weight reducing stone." Henry got curious on the mention of this. He began to talk about these stones that Vah mentioned. As they were talking, in the background there was Tina who was approached by a tall and muscular man, He sat beside her. Then they seemed to talk about something. Henry didn't notice this as he was fully in sync with the conversation with Vah.

After Henry finished his questions, the small party containing Henry, Vah and Tina went to the site of hunting. And as usual Henry finished the task without any worry and Vah along with Tina collected the ears of the fallen monsters. They then submitted their proof and earned some reward. Then they went to sleep in the Inn after their goodbye with Vah. The next day Kali and Falk waked them and they continued their travel. After a day of travel they have finally reached the capital.
