As I wiped Nataly's tears off, I then told her what really happened.

"It is my fault! My fault Kyle died!" I exclaimed as I lay on my knees.

"I shouldn't have let him go, I should have been able to take him back!" I wailed at her.

Surprisingly instead of slapping me or giving me the cold shoulder. Nataly hugged me while crying.

"It's okay, you have done your best, my father is just too kind to others. That's why I love him so much" Nataly told me in a slow voice.

In return I hugged her tightly and let out my emotions. This kind hearted but slighty brazen girl is to die for. So then I plead an oath to her that I will support whatever next path she would take.

She told me, that I need to accompany her to the biggest town three days away from the village we are trying to reach. She is still trying to become a member of the convent who helps people in need.

I then agreed to her terms. Come next morning the two, Liana and Serefina noticed that me and Nataly is a little to close. I then brush it aside.

The journey will continue for another couple of days. We are really running of critical supllies so we need to reach the village fast.

With my free time, I then decided to draft a drawing of my next weapon project. The encounter with the goblins fairly leveled the three of us, to the extent that I can now duplicate weapons and even bullets and my weapon create and enhance are now much more accurate and stronger.

I drafted in a full automatic rifle. The American M-14, a old school wooden and metal battle rifle that my grandfather loved. It is born from the M1 Garand, the greatest battle implement ever devised as once said by a famous general and the Browning Automatic Rifle or the BAR, truly signature American weapons.

My grandfather telling me how the his beloved M-14 works when I was a child truly helps. As I can remember how different parts works, from how the gas-operated bolt works, to how the fire selector works. The only problem that will probably be difficult to test, is how the mana crystal would perform. Would it release a pressure of air when it was fired just like how a gunpowder works?. My current rifle and SMG relied on manual bolt operation and through the recoil the explosion creates.

The question will be left unanswered until I create a prototype, in which I fiddle around with my own rifle.

The two remaining days went on fast, and regarding to my second objective which is to find much more higher quality Wyvern scale, having more scales and higher quality could have prevented Liana to be easily stabbed. She was stabbed in the section where her armor is absent. And our exodus to the mountains only let me saw a couple of Wyvern flying to East where we are heading.

We then finally reached the sma village which is also located at the foot of a mountain, upon seeing us, amd hearing our story we are warmly greeted in to their small village. We stay in for a night before we head to the large town East of the village.

This also where most of the villagers decided to part as some will be heading to other villages to stay with their family ot some friends. Some chose to stay. And some decided to bet on the next town. The town offers far more opportunities to earn more money or at least equal to what it is used to be back at their village, rather than staying at impoverished villages. We then purchased a little wagon, and that is when I also have the opportunity to really checked our belongings. And it turns out we left behind some pretty expensive items, and half our gold as Serefina grabbed the wrong magic bag because of panic.

We then set off for the the next town along with three other families of villagers with their own carts and wagon. My group was also assigned by the village elder who decided to stay, to report what happened to the guild and to the Noble who is in charged of the realm. This is to remind them that sending a handful of adventurers and guards aren't enough to protect a whole village.

I am now heading to another chapter of my life.
