The Time When I was Reincarnated as a Spirit

IV "Welcome Milord"

Casper POV

    Leaving the capital of the Red Dragon City, with my subordinates and people traveling to our destination that I plan to develop my own settlement. I look around while I am inside my carriage, suddenly Randal came "milord, as I scout the area I found out we're been watch" telling me.

"It is okay  Randal, we should show them we're not a threat," telling him

"Milord, I think they are bandits, we should be careful" he exclaims

"Thank you for worrying with us Randal" I smile at him.

"Yes milord, my service for you is absolute I will protect you and every citizen you have" he exclaims, as he leaves vanish at my side.

I call Lutar using my mind communication " Lutar, come"

Lutar came " what do you need me to do milord?" he asks, I knew he knows from the start because Lutar is just a magnificent warrior also an observant.

"I want you to show them we're not a threat, just stand by, focus on protecting every citizen traveling with me" I order him.

He bows down and leaves. Mabelle is on my side as I see she was worrying, I touch her hand, she looks at me and smiles

"What do you think with me lady Mabelle?" I question her to remove her worries even a little bit.

"You're a good man milord you always think what is good for us and also you are thinking of us like your own families that were I feel milord" she utter and smiles again

While we talk suddenly some people jump from nowhere surrounding us,

"Bandits!!!" shout the people who were with me following

Lutar and other warriors guard every side protecting the people, as Lutar followed my orders earlier.

One of the bandits yell demanding to talk to a guardian that was traveling and I knew it's me. I plan to get out and face the bandit that demanded to talk with me, suddenly Mabelle holds my hands, shakes her head letting me know not to go. I smile at her but she holds my hands and demand to let her come with me.

I get out of my carriage with Mabelle was on my side holding my hand. I move towards where the bandit was called me, I approach him with no subordinates with me except Mabelle, but I feel I am being guarded and observe by Randal far from the sight. As the bandit that demand to talk to me break the part of the carriage and making it a table and a chair for me and himself using some magic called a craft as I hear him chanting it. He sits down and makes me also sit facing him as Mabelle continues to stand holding my hand.

The bandit starts talking " I'm Wishitar the Wise, the leader of all these people I have" he introduces and gives his hand, shaking with me.

"I'm Casper Lazarus Ripperton the guardian of knowledge, you should grateful for knowing my full name human" I introduce myself confidently with superiority.

"Great spirit I demand a challenge with you as I am the wisest being born in this world, if I win all of you will follow my lead if you win I'll become your loyal servant," he tells me confidently while smiling.

"Start when you like, I don't want any further information in this battle" I exclaim while I smirk.

"Start now! answer this great spirit, there are two ducks in front of a duck, two ducks behind a duck, and a duck in the middle. How many ducks are there?" he questions me smiling

I smile this is just a small game for me, it's like cheating in this world " the wisest huh? I appreciate your talent Wishitar, but you can't face me as your opponent in the name of knowledge, absolutely the answer is three, two ducks are in front of the last duck; the first duck has two ducks behind; one duck is between the other two." I answer

" I'm not finish answer this second question! A farmer wants to cross a river and take with him a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage. He has a boat, but it can only fit himself plus either the wolf, the goat, or the cabbage. If the wolf and the goat are alone on one shore, the wolf will eat the goat. If the goat and the cabbage are alone on the shore, the goat will eat the cabbage. How can the farmer bring the wolf, the goat, and the cabbage across the river without anything being eaten?" he questions and smiles at me

I totally disappoint myself, the question is just easy as drinking and eating but this is it I'm the guardian of knowledge so this is obvious that I'm the greatest "First, the farmer takes the goat across. The farmer returns alone and then takes the wolf across, but returns with the goat. Then the farmer takes the cabbage across, leaving it with the wolf and returning alone to get the goat. You're great Wishitar I am hardly thinking it" I answer smiling at him patting his head

Wishitar amaze me as I can see his face " last question great spirit of knowledge, what can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?" he questions and smiles at me pleasantly.

As I see him smile that way I think the man in front of me is a true genius and a good man, I know he will be capable as my right hand "a river obviously" I answer

He smiles at me "your turn great spirit, give me the hardest question you have I'll definitely answer it" he utter

I smile at him giving my question "what is weightless but takes two people to hold it?"

He burst a burst of loud and hearty laughter " milord, the great spirit of knowledge I will be your great loyal servant, also as you say I'll become your friend" as he kneels confidently looking at me

"Rise Wishitar, I give you the position as my personal right hand, are you oblige to take that position?" I offer him

"Milord, of course, that was an excellent position for me, you're totally impressive you have the eye's of an observatory god" he talks to me confidently and with praising words.

As I observe that Wishitar is truly great in this world exceptionable talent he having, the wisest man I ever encounter today. I smile at him, as he suddenly orders his man to move out and help to carry other things with the citizen. We continue to travel to our destination, as we arrive at our destination I can see small houses, a market stands, and a large mansion. The people that were with me entertain by the townsfolk, giving them their own house and spaces, as for others making their own tent. As I walk to the mansion some good-looking man with a decent formal tuxedo outfit, around 30's of his age approach me "welcome milord" greet me with such a beautiful gentleman accent. I think he is the caretaker of the mansion or well known as a butler, he escorts me inside the mansion, tour me around seeing such well-made interiors, the floor made with silver tiles, the wall was shining flourish brick with reinforcing steel around it as I can see this mansion design likely takes the 90's style of the mansion. We arrive at the dining area seeing foods that freshly cook. 

We help ourselves and eat the food that was on the table, the food is kind of bizarre, roasted chicken but the flesh was so juicy like it burst in our tongue like a bomb of gravy, the soup from a beef that was so sweet and calming like the green grassy plain, also the bizarre fish like a tuna piranha with catchup was so delicious I can taste the spiciness, the pepper, and sweetness that tastes great with the fish, there were many different dishes I eat " who cook this food? It is amazing and magnificent" I exclaim happily

"Milord the chef in this house was truly amazing, thank you for finding out that they were great" the butler utter.

"What is your name good man?" I ask him smiling

"Frederick milord, the caretaker of this mansion over 15 years, my pleasure to serve you" he introduces himself, bows his head. 

As I've escort in my bed, I suddenly lay down and give my body a rest, I sleep and wait for tomorrow's new beginning.
