70 Joel In Emir

Walking on the stone street, Jeol could see the people in Emir walking past him. In this town, Joel was born and raised. At Emir those n.o.ble children with money went to school, attended a different kind of college, but for a poor orphan who was left in an orphanage had no chances to even see the front gate of the school.

Joel still remembers the day he did all kinds of odd jobs before he ended up the King's army due to enforced recruitment. While he was growing up Joel developed one life-saving skill, talking. Orphans like him had to talk and lie to people like experts to get their bellies filled because of that, Joel's commander at that time chose him as a candidate for spy and Joel excelled in spying until the King asked him to poison the bracidia's people.

"Hey, did you hear King Hedor is recruiting again?"

"Thank G.o.d my son is just an infant"

"s.h.i.+t I just want to live my life without all these wars."

At ordinary times Joel would ignore the conversations going around him, but today he listened to them, without saying a word.

Since he was betrayed by the woman he loved, in his eyes Emir appeared to be flawed. He was angry at the world and with himself for being such a weakling when he was tortured by the guards yet he couldn't do anything to them. Joel even wanted to commit suicide when he was marked as a slave but he never thought he would be rescued and sent to the same place that he never wanted to return.

However, the more he remembered everything that happened to him his anger erupted within him. If he was a slave in chains he could self blame him or the fate because he knew revenge on King Hedor would just be a dream but now everything has changed.

Joel heard his inner voice shouting, "you were beaten like a dog made into a slave the woman who said she will be with you forever betrayed you but the person responsible to all of this is living his life as a King, use this chance you are not alone"

Even though he had limited access in Don's castle and Joel felt someone was always watching him, he got some juicy information from some drunken dwarves and elves.

According to what he heard, Don and Knight had some kind of spell that could turn their army more powerful and effective in the battlefield and also he himself saw Arrora cutting three masters like they were vegetables while he was in the slave traders. During his stay in the castle, Joel's gut told him that Don is not a person to be trifled with as well as he could do what he says and as a spy Joel trusted his gut very much.

The thought of spying about the king himself made Joel swallow a mouthful of saliva but the anger he had towards King Hedor and thought of having a person like Don behind him gave Joel the motivation and courage to complete the mission he has now. As he was thinking about all of this Joel reached his destination and he planned what he is going to do exactly.

Joel was now standing Inside the Alehouse which is famous for its redlight activities in Emir. He could see the drunken people on the dancing floor and the array of blues, acid greens, hot pinks and gold lighting around the stage as many beautiful young ladies and youths from n.o.ble families. However, Joel didn't look at the beautiful woman but the muscular bearded man sitting and drinking in the bar beside the dancing floor.

The man Joel looking at was the vice-captain of King Hedor's mansion's security team. While Joel was training in Emir he saw this man many times and heard about his drinking addiction but the reason he still had the job was that his magic level, the peak master. In a small kingdom like Emir, every master magi considered as a powerhouse because of that reason this drunkard still had the job of vice-captain.

Usually, Joel prefers the safer way to get his information and try his best to stay as far as possible from guys like him but today he had a secret weapon that Knight gave him.

"Alright let's do this"

*******************************

"Wow the world is spinning "

In the alleyway behind the Alehouse Joel was looking at the vice-captain mumbling and walking very unsteadily as if he was going to fall any time.

Seeing this Joel breathed out a heavy sigh. The reason for the Vice captain's mumbling and dancing on the street was not because of the liters of ale he had but the something Joel slipped into his mug when the man was. .h.i.tting on the bartender.

"Oh what the heck..." Joel finally started to walk towards the man when he saw the vice-captain fall on the ground due to the effect of the poison he put into his mug.

"Mr.Bates how's the effects " as Bates heard the voice he tried to lift his head but when he did he couldn't clearly see the face of the person before him as everything seemed blurry to him.

When Joel saw the Emir's crest on Bates's chest he couldn't help but kick him in the chest.

"Son of a huh...what?!"

Joel saw Bates try to circulate the magic energy to cast a spell but before he could do that blood started to run through his nose and ears.

"Don't try anything Bates, the more you struggle the faster the poison kills you" Bates coughed up more blood as he heard the person before him.

"Now you either answer my questions and earn the antidote or die like a dog in this alleyway"

*****************************

"My lords is it safe to leave the body like this"

Don and Knight heard Joel's voice through their Khals.

"You don't need to worry about that the poison will take care of the body you just leave the place without being spotted" Knight ordered Joel and cut the connection between them.

When Joel heard Knight he immediately turned to leave the alleyway as he could see Bates's hands starting to turn into green goo and realized what Knight meant by the poison take care of the body.

"So now we know King Hedor doesn't even trust his guards and stopped leaving his palace because of an unknown reason, how can we get this guy without ma.s.sacring his guards now" Knight frowned as he said.

"But we also know the guy's love for fire spell scrolls right? if he waged war on a sect just because for a scroll how hard can it be to lure this guy into a trap with another ancient fire spell scroll"

According to Joel after a long conversation with Bates, it was revealed that King Hedor stopped getting out of his palace after getting the lands of Bracidia for some reason also Bates said that the King is now sending his spies to many small kingdoms to choose his next target.

All of this information did not get Don's attention as the information Bates said about King's l.u.s.t for ancient fire spell scrolls. Joel said that the King Hedor is not a man who could be seduced by a woman or other precious things but however according to Bates the King is a collector of spell scrolls especially the fire spells.

"We don't have any of that scrolls not unless we give him the spells we use in Divine Continent"

"But we have a dragon and a man from the future Knight"
