Chapter 27.5: How smart can you be part two

"Insolent! you dare make a fun out of my name! do you have a death wish..?!"

Nyx saw that this fat dude really is the same with the anime, a hot temper just because his name was made fun of a little and a tittle who was just the lowest rank of all a baron, his pretty arrogant flaunting his own status.

"I don't dare Baron Swine!"

Terran saw that even if Baron Swine Von Ludwick tried his best to stop his emotion but still couldn't help but be arrogant, Terran was just making him more angry, if he make a move against him then he has all rights to defend himself against him and with being an adventurer, an ex-adventurer Terran also held quite a high ranking in the adventurers guild and as such he is not afraid to clash with a Baron knowing that the adventurer guild will protect him.

"You... you!", I shouldn't be angry with him, if I fall for his trick then I maybe implicated... instead, I'll ask for his name and maybe I can get back at him..! daring to go against me a Baron! even if you have power, you have no connections like me a noble!

"What's your name insolent bastard!"

Terran veins showed up when he heard what this Baron Swine called him, but he still can't do anything to him if it's like this he just have to play along him. Because if he knew their past deed and who is the real power house of the adventurers guild then, it should be enough to deal with him as an Arch Mage the Frozen Time... he was known due to his special spell that only Arch Mage's can have, a domain.

"I'm Terran, Baron Swine..!"

Terran bowed a little to show some little respect to the fat baron.

"Good, good... it seems even a barbarian knows how to respect someone with higher ranking! Terran... I'll remember you!"

*tch!*

If only this fool of an assassin didn't embarrassed me then I'll humiliate you in front of all your commoner friends! I can't believe this fool who has received my master's powers were defeated and gotten his mana sealed by such a barbarian!

"Hey, you two bring this guy out of here!"

Baron Swine called the two mages that were besides him who didn't even do anything and just watch, well I can't blame them this guy... Terran, defeated an infamous assassin with just a seal... f*cking useless bastards! I'll get you all one day! And... hehe, that beautiful woman... I'll definitely get her. Now back to where I was earlier...

"You, yes you commoner answer me what are you all doing here with a bonfire and a meat at that?"

A scrawny looking guy who was dressed poorly was called and was nervous what to answer to the Baron as he just saw how unreasonable his men was and couldn't help but be afraid.

"I... uh... I..."

"Ahem... if I may speak Baron Swine Von Ludwick, we were just having a feast when we successfully defeated the beast horde!", this Baron is the one who is situated near the Rocky Mountain Region and is the one who is supervising the mines of grannar village, he is notorious for monopolizing the people and even made their daily pay half that of the original pay which is 1 gold coin... but this Baron only pay the miners 5 silver which is not even enough to buy herbs to mend the aching muscles they had and not to mention the food for their family and this Baron is profiting from all the ores and minerals the miners got! I shouldn't create more trouble for the people... Terran can handle themselves but not us ordinary people.

"Beast horde you say..?"

Hmmm... that's why, we we're originally supposed to be back after we rested in this village because we were afraid that the king of the western forest would come after us as we took her daughter away, good thing this ragtag villagers manage to successfully defend the village, if not I may have been delayed in going back and reporting to master this treasure that I got! Wait a beast horde?! then that means that meat is a magical beast meat..!

"A beast horde? then I suppose it's only right that you give us your loot for fees in not telling us such danger in advance!"

Nyx saw this bold move and the Elder who conversed with the Baron was sweating and looked sad at the fact that their hard earned food is about to be taken by a swine noble! Nyx couldn't help but feel bad and remembered that when he read the books he also read a small guide of the adventurers guild... which was "If an adventurer has loot regarding, materials, food, herbs, mana stone etc. then he is subjected to the rule of the adventurers guild to surrender 20% of the loot and give it to the adventurers guild in exchange of them having 80% of their loot without any taxes in the city as long as the adventurer is part of the adventurers guild.

"Hmmm... Baron Swine Von Ludwick is not smart, if you do that then... your challenging the authority of the adventurers guild regarding the loot of an ex adventurer with a high rank at that"

A small voice resounded in the background and Terran knew clearly whose voice it was, it was none other than his son Nyx and clearly he do remember such trivial stuff, meanwhile Zira was not concerned of such stuff as she knew Terran was clearly a smart man if not then he would not have reach his current level.

"W-who said that?! fool! do you think I'm afraid of the adventurers guild?!"

"Oh... what a bold sentence Baron Swine~, if your not afraid then... I'm afraid your challenging the whole adventurers guild and the merchant guild who is under them?"

"Guh..! It's not like that... but-but the rule's of the city of sloth doesn't has such rule's in a deserted village!"

"Deserted? so your treating this village as if no one is alive? how bold, I wonder what his majesty would say if he knew that you've been soliciting the people in this village..?"

"HAHAHAHA! FOOL! if the king believes you then so would he believe a dog!"

"Hurhur... your not smart are you? if I report this to the adventurers guild then... then, I'm sure they'll investigate the matter and all the money you've stolen till now will be taken away from you..."

Terran gently touched his thin beard and act as if he was confused of what this mongrel was talking about, meanwhile Nyx saw that his father isn't really a man that would be scared by status, which makes him proud and the fact that he catched up to his idea quickly means Terran is really smart.

"Ughh... you win this time!"

Baron Von Ludwick was fuming from the anger and the humiliation Terran brought him and the villagers started to murmur about his personality and all the bad deeds he did. But the two mage had an idea. The two came closer to the Baron and whispered some plan.

"Don't worry Baron, master will help us and we have a plan"
