Living As Trash Villain

Chapter-11

"I am having a good time here" It's been two days since I am staying at Mr. Adam's old inn. Though it is old but can't complain about the A grade services I am getting. I was getting enough rest and good food. Also, the information about surrounding me. The rumors weren't interesting enough going on around the people, who were visiting and spending their time in Mr. Adam's inn. The most interesting fact I found about this village was, only Mr. Adam's inn accepts human beings. So, it was also the reason why this place is always busy and every time crowded with different types of professional beings. I was getting bored sitting in my room all the time, then I remembered about the hunt I did inside the cave. I walked to the same backroom to meet Mr.Adam. Mr. Adam was polishing his knife and drinking a homemade grape wine. He watched me coming in and smiled.

"Do you need anything, Mr.Liam?"

"No. But I would like to meet blacksmith if you know anyone"

"Blacksmith. Hmm, and why would you like to meet?" Mr. Adam responds in a cautious tone.

"If you know then just say it"

"Of, course I know. I can personally take you there but Mr. Liam I would like to warm you. You better avoid blacksmith of this village" Mr.Adam smiled taking a sip of wine.

"And why?"

"They don't like outsiders and especially humans" Mr. Adam grinned.

"Take me there" I responded only with three words. I was just thinking about one thing, if I could meet the blacksmith here and can learn some skills, I will make a weapon for myself.

There was silence in a room and Mr. Adam was studying John carefully. At last, he made his mind and walked out of the door. John was sitting there in an old chair dumfounded watching old Adam. After a few minutes, Mr.Adam walked in. He was carrying a long orange coat in his hand and wearing a top hat with a similar color to the coat.

"Let's go" Mr. Adam.

"okay" I quickly followed Mr. Adam on his carriage. The entire way, it was dead silence.

Neither Mr. Adam nor I was speaking with each other during the entire trip. It was an awkward situation. After half hour, the carriage stopped outside a house and the house was middle-sized and made of brick and mud. Also, the entrance door was a bit small. "the person you wanted to meet will be inside" Mr. Adam speaks as he walks down from the carriage. "Muddy" He shouted.

"MUDDY" After shouting three times, the young-looking dwarf peeked out from one of the windows. "There you are Muddy, you have a visitor " Mr. Adam.

Muddy looked at Mr. Adam and then John, who was standing beside Mr.Adam. The drastically change can be seen in Muddy eyes from Mr.Adam to John, it's was from joy to hate.

I can say he doesn't like me, John thought.

Muddy opened the door and invited both of them inside but still, he was keeping hostile toward John. Muddy was going to yell and put a fight with John but he didn't, when he saw Mr.Adam was treating John goodly. Then only he treated a bit good to John.

"Uncle Adam, sit on the couch. I will bring something to drink" Muddy said smiling.

"No need, I am here to ask you a favor" Mr. Adam.

"Flavor?" Muddy was confused.

"Yes, As you see this person is my friend Mr. Liam. He is recently staying at my inn and he wanted to meet the best blacksmith in our village" Mr. Adam.

"So?" Muddy

"So, I wanted to meet your grandfather. I was wanting to make his and Mr. Liam's appointment." Mr. Adam.

"Excuse me, uncle Adam you already know. We don't make a deal anymore. Not even with a single being, especially with a human." Muddy tone was sounded full of threatening.

"But-" Mr. Adam

"But what uncle Adam" Muddy shouted.

"But I can give you crystal from the f*******n cave" I smiled as I put a moonlight blue crystal piece on the table between Mr.Adam and Muddy. Not only that, I put a tiny piece of scarlet crystal too. The facial expression of Muddy and Mr. Adam was funny to see. Mubby was so much thrilled after seeing two crystals.

"IT'S A SCARLET CRYSTAL" Muddy shouted enough to lose his voice. And the other side Mr. Adam was speechless. Also, Out of nowhere, a person was standing between us looking admiring to the crystals. "Holy s**t, I thought I would never see them again"

He was looking like more than 90 years, his hair and beard were fully white, and has a little chubby body. "My goodness who brought them here."

"Mr. Liam brought them, Grandpa Max" Mr. Adam.

Grandpa max turned his head to see Mr. Liam and study him for a bit. Then finally, he speaks " follow me, young man"

"but grandpa-" Muddy was going to say something but he was stopped in the middle by Mr. Adam. "Mr. Liam wanted to do some business with you, grandpa Max"

Grandpa Max stopped, "What do you want?"

"I want you to teach me, blacksmith skill," I smiled at him.

"What are you saying? do you think it's easy to learn blacksmith skills or work?" Muddy said in a furious tone.

"Shush, Muddy. So, why do you want to learn blacksmith." Grandpa Max.

"I want to make a weapon" I responded straight.

"And you think you can make one?" Grandpa Max

"I can try"

The room filled with silence at once. Mr. Adam was having a hard time most among them. He kept looking from face to face. He saw a face filled with the anger of Muddy, a clueless face of Grandpa Max, and no emotion on John's face. Mr. Adam doesn't know what will happen and he knows the actual reason why Grandpa Max and Muddy don't want to deal or work with a human.

The silence in the room was making everyone uneasy and at last Grandpa Max break the silence "Okay I will teach you. Starting tomorrow, be here at 10 o'clock with your luggage " And then, he vanished in thin air.

"Grandpa you can't" there was a worried and angry tone in Muddy voice. Muddy stare at me like a lion was watching his prey. I chuckled softly thinking that how cute he was looking. "Ah, sorry"

"Let's meet tomorrow, Muddy" Mr.Adam stormed outside while dragging me in a hurry and quickly climb inside the carriage. I quietly followed him. I can see Mr. Adam's face was red and filled with sweats. He orders his man to take them to the inn as soon as fast.

After reaching the inn from Grandpa Max's house, Mr. Adam quickly went inside. I also went inside and I was being ready to have my drink. One of the staff asked me to follow him to Mr. Adam's office. Mr. Adam was sitting behind the big desk and was sipping a warm tea. He looked a little good complexion than before. His office was filled with piles of files and books. "sit down Mr. Liam"

Finally, after traveling back from Grandpa Max's house, I can hear words coming out from Mr. Adam's closed lips. "What were you thinking?"

"Want to learn blacksmith" I responded in my calm voice as I sit on the couch.

"But they don't like humans. And I already told you" Mr. Adam.

"When? You never said anything about hate and you only mention the word " doesn't like". Also, you never even told a reason why they don't like humans"

"Oh, God" Mr. Adam takes out his handkerchief and dab slowly on his face. I waited for him to answer while he was taking his time.

"Sorry Mr.Liam, I was wrong" Mr. Adam took a big breath and started telling a story about Grandpa Max Family. "They used to deal with humans in past. Grandpa Max's family was best at making weapons and artifacts. So, many humans have to make an appointment two-three months ahead just to get a hand on a single piece of equipment. There was always a huge number of customers lining outside of his house. One day he helped his closest friend to create a magnificent sword. It was the best creation in his entire life. That sword brought both, happiness and tragedy in Grandpa Max's life".

The more I heard the story, the more I was getting deja vu about the sword. I was feeling like, deep down inside me knows about the sword and can guess what happened but I wasn't being sure about It. "Grandpa Max's friend got murdered and the sword was nowhere to found" Mr.Adam continues "And that fellow was human. After the sword got missing, many humans came to find Grandpa Max in this village. That time he had a son and daughter-in-law and grandchild, Muddy. They were a small and happy family but it got all ruined by those greedy humans. Grandpa Max refused to give them a blueprint of the sword and instant they killed his son and daughter-in-law. Muddy was just a newborn baby, and somehow he was saved by the villagers." Mr. Adam looked so upset and he became quiet. I was getting curious about the sword. I wanted to know if the Deja Vu I was feeling and my instincts were correct about it or not. It was not good to ask about it anymore but still, I wanted the answer.

"I am sorry to know about it. But can you tell me what happened after that and about the sword," I asked him in a low voice. Mr. Adam sighed, "After that, Grandpa Max never made any types of equipment and never crossed his path with humans." Mr. Adam takes a sip of tea," The sword was called Holy Sword". Just hearing the name of the sword made my body shivering from head to toe. I felt like, I jumped from the high buildings and my heart skipped to beats, it can be frozen anytime I thought.

"That's why they hated humans, and especially Muddy. He hates humans than anything in his life. And I hope they will get along with you" Mr. Adam added. "That is truly sad" I maintain to keep my calm.

I ended my talks with Mr. Adam like that and I directly went to my room. I didn't want to have or eat anything, all I wanted to lay on the bed and calm down my heart and my mind. I thought for a while, humans are real demons. I rethink about the whole novel, there wasn't any mention of this village, or Mr.Adam or Grandpa Max, or the story about the holy sword. I accidentally dug out information from behind the curtain, I thought and rolled on my bed. I couldn't sleep a bit the whole night, I was being restless and my mind wasn't taking the name of being calm or wanting to sleep. When my mind was calm and back to its state, I realized I was already outside Grandpa Max's house.
