Lea, The Story of the Magus of the Casiopea Continent
The Bird Hunter Shop

That morning I was getting ready to visit the City Lord's office, registering the mission that I had been aiming for yesterday.

"Harpiest?" it's a foreign name to me. Never until now have I heard what is meant by Harpiest.

Even during my training at Dorado Academy, I had not been taught about the introduction of that Harpiest creature.

"Maybe the officer at the town hall will explain to me" I thought, while leaving the room and covering part of my face with a hood in a long thin coat that serves to disguise my face and also avoid the debut of the desert.

I saw a man wearing a visual aid, looking so big that he filled almost part of his face, looking strange.

Although I was at work, I saw the 50-year-old man holding a long, threaded object resembling a pipe, which he repeatedly breathed through his mouth, then for a while held him in the chest and then he exhaled in the form of white smoke, smelling foul filled the office room and made me cough.

"Uhuk-uhuk !"

The man seemed surprised to hear my cough, hurriedly hiding his large pipe in the drawer.

"Greetings..

Hello, my name is Lea, and I want to register for the mission as it is written on the notice board" I said pointing to the outside where the notice board is on display.

"Welcome to Lea, my name is Parsha Hajaar . Have you decided which mass you have chosen?

And if I may know, you are a Knight at what level? aslo..

Do you know the contract requirements that need to be met for this mission?" answer the man

"I have chosen from all the missions I saw last night." I said steadily. Parsha looks happy to see there are new fighters in Sahireb City.

"Surely my ability as a fighter is at the rank of a third level magic assistant.

I want to take the Harpiest finish in the Atula Desert Padan" I said.

Parsha was dumbfounded at my words. It seems like what I said earlier, he can't digest. He doesn't believe his hearing..

"A-you're a level 3 magic assistant? How old are you?" ask Parsha in doubt.

For the outside world of the academy, the magician who would later become a magus, or a knight who fought with magic power, would be, it is an untouched thing and looks so luxurious in the eyes of mortal people like this Parsha.

That's why they always ask age when they see a witch or a knight.

If I said I was 17, maybe Parsha would be surprised. It could even cause jealousy that will be bad for me later.

"25. I'm 25 years old." I replied calmly.

"B-but you still look like a teenager?" Parsha tried to see clearly, breaking through behind a thin hood that disguised me.

"Magic.this is all because of magic.

With magic I can maintain my appearance, resisting the rolling time that makes the face look old fast !" I said reassuring.

Oh. I understand" answered Parsha, afterwards she did not wonder anymore about my age.

"Please fill out this form Lea. After that, I'll register Harpiest's mission on your behalf. Other people can no longer fill his name on that mission" Parsha replied.

After I was done with the administration, I started to approach Parsha.

"I have just arrived in Sahireb.

Now I need the money and choose the mission to complete the Harpiest..

Can you tell me a little bit about Harpiest?" I asked Parsha.

Parsha just shook her head and said.

"My knowledge of Harpiest is terrible. I only know that Harpiest is a legendary creature that disturbs traders who cross the Atula Desert.

"If you really want to know what Harpiest is called,

Taghi Tua store that provides all kinds of tools, is the most appropriate place you visit in this City.

Besides being able to explain what Harpiest is, Tua Taghi might show the right tools to fight Harpiest" Taghi concluded.

I left the City Lord's Office, walking on the streets of Sahireb City decorated with dust and the scorching sun.

Just two days in the city of Sahireb, I felt as if I was working in the kitchen, in front of a huge fire to cook party food for 2000 heads.

Sometimes I feel like something big is pressing on my chest. But I can't do much to reduce the increasingly excruciating heat.

Lucky Old Shop Taghi has been in plain sight. The large board that bears the trademark "The Bird Hunter" has made it clear that this is what I'm looking for.

In a hurry I immediately barged in, and feeling the coolness in the room using a large tool like a mechanical fan, the wind was blowing coolly on my cheek.

"Hello, my name is Lea. I'm a wanderer and want to meet the owner of this shop"

The man was standing in the forbidden area for the buyer, accompanied by one young boy and they both looked at me probing.

"I'm Old Taghi, owner of The Bird Hunter Shop.

How can I help you? Is there something you need?" Old Taghi explained.

"Ah Mr. Taghi, I have just arrived in the city of Sahireb and are looking for some groceries as well as some hunting gear. Can you explain to me what it takes to hunt the Harpiest in the Atula Desert?" ask me.

I caught a surprised eye in the eyes of Old Taghi and the young servant. But I kept talking, as if this was a natural question.

"Mr Taghi, do you know anything about the Harpiest creatures that plague the Atula Desert?"...

Silent, silent for a moment with a ray of horror eyes of fear loomed in the eyes of Old Taghi and his servant.

"Wasteland storm. Have you ever seen a storm in the Desert?" tanya Tua Taghi's.

"Harpiest is the cause of the storm that took people's lives" Taghi Tua said slowly.

The old man then explained to me completely, what Harpiest meant. He opened up a little after I said that I am a level three mage, and this action of mine is for the sake of completing the mission on the notice board in the City Lord's office.

Harpiest is a legendary creature, a magical creature that is half beautiful women, and the other half is a bird.

This harpiest is evil, by stealing the bodies of the dead, spreading foul odors and like to poison food and drink, in the village or city he passes.

It is said that the cause of wind and dust storms in the Desert, caused by a creature named Harpiest

I nodded my head in satisfaction with Old Taghi's explanation, then thrust out two middle-ranked Elixir Crystals and asked for large nets according to Old Taghi's suggestion, to trap Harpiest later.

Next, this is the most important thing to me.

"Two Tahgi. Have you ever heard of another continent called the Casiopea Continent?" ask me worried.

As a merchant who has been hanging out with many people for a long time, of course I hope that he has heard the name of my home continent, and I will find a way to go home later.

"Casiopea Continent?

Is there a continent that has such a name? I've never heard of it" replied Old Taghi who then made my heart melt.

"It's my hope" my inner self regrets everything.

Perhaps seeing the change in my face that was not good, Mr. Taghi comforted me.

"I've never heard of the name of the Casiopea Continent. But this is just one small town in this Chambat Negri.

So in my opinion, if you don't find what you want in this remote town of Sahireb, why don't you go to our capital of Chambat?

I'm sure in Azkabh's capital there must have been someone who had left, or at least heard of your Casiopean Continent" Old Taghi comforted me.

I did tell you about my sadness that was stranded because of the ship we were on, shipwrecked (Sstt I lied to this. Mentioning war will usually bring fear). I left The Bird Hunter afterwards, after buying a map of the Chambat Country.

***

I walked into the Tavern - the only bar supposedly filled with customers of dangerous people. Here gathered, bounty hunter merchants and treasure hunters gathered and even criminals who became fugitives in other cities.

Lea was undaunted because I knew that I could protect herself. I stared firmly and mysteriously from behind my hood and walked sure to the table in the corner of the bar. I sat down on the bench and ordered a drink.

Some of the people at the bar noticed it, but they then returned to their own conversation. Lea didn't care because the more dangerous 'War' thing I've ever been through.

My presence in this Tavern is in search of a hired soldier, who will help me in the Atula Desert against the Harpiest later.

Seriate.
