Chapter 29: Wooden Sword

"I am very very thankful for you to save me, but I would like you to free me right now, I am ready to pay my price by any means you want." The girl said in a severe tone, standing up from the ground.

"I understand you are desperate to meet your family and all, and I promise you I will take you there but I cannot undo the contract right now," Ben said, understanding her thoughts, and trying to calm her down.

"Let's start with this, do you know where you live? Or your village name...or anything?" Ben asked, a smile on his face. For a teenage girl to be kidnapped by slave traders and later to be brought as a slave, her reaction was completely natural, and Ben, fully understood this.

"I don't have a family or any relative, now please undo the slave contract or I will have to use unnecessary means," She said with a frown on her face, taking a fighting stance.

Ben in response stepped back and posed both his palms towards her, a small psychological trick he learned to deal with scared animals. He continued to maintain a relaxing smile on his face as he said "Trust me if I was able to undo the slave contract, then I would have done it already."

~Silence falls in the area~

Ben, looking at the girl didn't attack him yet, slowly stepped closer, and extended his hand for a handshake, which for him was the most appropriate action for the time being. "Let's start with this, My name is Ben Franklin. What about you?"

The girl, on the other hand, looked at Ben, From up to down before she said in a low voice, still avoiding any contact "I don't have a name. You can call me whatever you like."

"That's the lamest excuse to avoid introductions, I've ever heard in my fuckin life." Ben thought internally, as his lips twitched twice, barely maintaining the smile on his face.

"Sigh," Ben let out a long breath before he said, "Well if that's the way you want. You should wash the blood stains on your face, there is a river flowing behind."

The girl on the other hand, just weirdly looked at him before she made some symbols out of her hand, in the air and chanted, " Basic Magic- Water Creation"

As she chanted these words, a swirl of blue energy started to gather in her palm, as if she was collecting the moisture in the atmosphere to make a ball of water, floating in the air.

"How in the hell did she do that " Ben muttered in a low tone, his mouth wide open from the otherworldly scenery happening before him.

[That's something called water magic host]

"I can guess that much," Ben said in his mind, responding to the system.

The girl continued to chant some more words before the ball of water in her palms spared her body and started to clean the blood stains from her clothes and body.

Just in a matter of minutes, the girl before him, who looked like a pile of dirt, was standing as if she were a princess from a fairy novel. Long silver hair extending to her waist, sharp blue eyes, pointy ears, and smooth skin she stood 5ft 7inch tall, looking at Ben as expressionless as ever.

"Wake up Ben, you are almost double her age!" Ben thought with a slight slap on his chicks.

"Cough! Cough! So are you telling me now, what your name is?" Ben asked, after a fake cough.

In response, the silver hair girl just weirdly looked at him before she stated casually "Call me whatever you like." n))O/-v))e./l(-b--1-)n

"Ahh, ok," Ben said, a little frustrated from being ignored a second time, but that's not what matters right now. All he wanted to do was somehow escape the forest as long as its daytime.

"Do you happen to have any idea, where there is the nearest civilization from? You see I am quite lost on the way so..hahaha" Ben asked, pretending to have an embarrassed smile on his face.

This time, the girl didn't even bother to look at him weirdly, instead she picked up a twig and placed it on the ground, near the river, where sunlight was reachable.

[A/N: This method is used to find out direction if you are lost on time and direction. Just place a stick on the ground and observe its shadow for about 5 minutes. The direction of the shadow will always follow a clockwise direction. Since the sun is moving towards the west the shadow will always move toward the east. If you assume the whole thing as a clock the 12:00 of the clock will be east. Thank me later
