n
nAfter i dropped the kid and the girl off at the inn, i requested an audience with his majesty. A day later, my request was granted.
n
"Your majesty, if i may.
" I requested
n
"Speak.
" He ordered.
nJust the sheer pressure of his words give off the feeling of a supreme ruler. The presence of a king is no joke.
n
"Yesterday, at the gate, a girl brought a kid who had suffered immense injuries and was passed out on the verge of death.. and explained that they were assaulted by a giant boar..
"
n
"And?
" With an uninterested tone, and expression, the king asked.
n
"She reported that the kid managed to completely freeze the boar and some of the trees in it's direction.
"
n
"Did you confirm, if what she said was true?
"
n
"Yes, I summoned mages to perform treatment on the kid while i went to the scene. It was exactly as reported. The boar had been frozen in solid cold ice. I used up quite a bit of my energy just to melt it.
"
nThe king perhaps realising the value that the boy possessed, asked another question. with a grin on his face.
n
"It took a former famous fire magician a bit of energy to melt ice made by a boy? Where is this boy?
