Chapter 10
Raud did not say anything else, removed his heavy clothes one by one, and got naked, but left the cape around his neck, and entered the water, took a nice refreshing bath, staying still and lying down for half an hour relaxing.
"Did you know we haven't introduced ourselves yet?" The boy reminded him looking closer.
"Yes. I know." Raud said with disdain.
"Don't you want to know who I am?"
"No."
"My name is Johny Paul."
"And?"
"What is your name?" Johny asked wanting to take Raud's arm, but he walked away.
The sorcerer turned his face away and was silent.
"Do not tell me?" the boy asked indignantly.
"For what?"
"We get to know each other, who knows, we might be friends."
Raud gave a high-pitched laugh.
"What it is? Don't like having friends?" Johny Paul asked curiously.
"No! I don't need a friend." Round responded dryly with mockery in his eyes.
"Everyone needs a friend; I can be of great help to you one day." Round continues to insist on having a more lasting relationship than a simple sporadic encounter.
"Do you have powers?"
"No."
"Are you a warrior?"
"No."
"Do you have many properties?"
"No."
"And what can you help me with?" Raud continued to ask incredulously.
"I don't know, but I'm really good at magic tricks. People pay me to watch my fabulous numbers." Johny Paul said with enthusiasm, showing their numbers, suggesting flowers, doves, handkerchiefs and smoke from their hat.
"Do you do pretend magic? And that?" Raud asked angrily, for he was a true sorcerer.
"Yes, but people love it, they believe it and that's what matters. Johnny said smiling.
"I do real magic, for I am a sorcerer."
"Cool, I knew I had power."
"I am very powerful, I am Raud Rhoxo.
"Are you the Rhoxo of darkness?" Johny asked in awe.
"No, I'm only Raud Rhoxo, I don't have that subtitle." Raud said annoyed by the nickname
"Ah, I thought you were the big hunter of the Del Tigres."
"And I'm."
"True? Have you killed any of those deranged ones yet?"
"Hundreds."
"More than 100? Wow! So it must be the famous Rhoxo of darkness!"
"I don't know this nickname, but I hunt other things worse than the Del Tigres too."
"Wow! For I will be your disciple." Johny said decidedly.
"It doesn't come that you don't have it. I work alone. " Raud said getting out of the river and picking up his clothes.
"Aren't you going to pass your knowledge on to someone else?" Johny Paul asked curiously.
Raud shrugged, pouted and said nothing, dressing quickly without drying off.
"His powers and knowledge will be lost with his death, as I doubt he will have children with his apparent cantankerousness and no one would give up a beloved child to a dangerous wizard, and I don't think he wants someone he can trust to pass on his legacy. In the end, you will lose everything you learned." Johny Paul spilled the predictable truth of the end of Raud's life
Raud was thinking about the boy's words, because he was 76 years old, even though he looked younger, he needed to pass on his knowledge like Blitave de Montesina did to someone, because it was so much important knowledge that he shouldn't die with him. Therefore, he decided to welcome Johny Paul as his disciple, because he did not seem to be afraid of him, and he seemed very interested in learning.
"OK! Convinced me, young man."
"Serious? How wonderful!" Johny Paul said happily and he was jumping with happiness.
"Do you live alone?" Raud asked, as he did not want to take other people with him.
"Yes. I am traveling the world in search of adventure and wealth. And what does Mister Rhoxo do?"
"I hunt and kill Del tigers. This is my duty."
"Okay, I'll be the best disciple you've ever had."
"I doubt it, but I'll teach you." Raud said with disdain already dressed in his dark clothes, but the blouse was silver, brown pants with dark brown strong armor, completing with harder pieces, he put on top like a brown leather jacket and was ready quickly to leave.
"Cool!" Johny said admiringly at his new master's tidying up, as he could barely keep up with the change.
"But I'll let you know soon, I hate clinging, silly talk. I do not want you to be near me. Walk at least 100 meters away."
"Do you want me to stay away from you?"
"Exactly! And when you enter the city, wait for me to enter, after half an hour, enter without asking for me, because if they know we're together, you can be an easy target and use you as a shield."
"Oh! What a pity." Johny said sadly, because he wanted to show that he had a powerful sorcerer friend, and nobody could mess with his person, because now he was special.
"You might die before you learn to say "open doors"!
"And when are you going to teach me something magical, if we're going to be so far away all the time?" Johnny asked.
"When we camp, away from the eyes of Rocufres, humans, and other creatures of the night."
"Damn it!" Johny Paul growled.
