My Triling System

201 Chapter 201: New Allies

Kevin and the girls appeared at the foot of the forbidden forest, beside a little lake.

“Are we in the forbidden forest?” Sunny asked, feeling nervous.

“Yeah.”

Kevin brought out George from the shadow as he stood before the girls with his hands tied by a shadow chain made by Kevin with his shadow control.

“We’re already in the forest??” George uttered as looked around his surroundings.

“Wait, what’s that sound?” Kevin noticed as he heard the ruffing of leaves behind him.

He drew out the Kara sword and approach the direction of the sound.

The girls also got ready for whatever was coming as they clenched their fists tightly while looking around.

Just as Kevin approach a direction where a lot of flowers seems to be, he received a notification from the system.

.....

< New Allies Detected >

< Five men will accompany you to the forest, do you wish to make them your personal army? >

‘They must be the men sent by the Queen.’ Kevin assumed.

Just at that moment, a few men appeared at Kevin’s side with their swords pointing at him. The girls readied their magics as they intended to attack it they got any closer to Kevin.

“Who are you?” One of the men said.

“I should be asking you that, who the hell are you guys?” Kevin replied.

From another direction, a young man started running towards them.

“Wait wait wait, he’s the one. He’s the one we’re looking for.”

The young man brought a paper sketch of a person to the first man who seemed to be older than the rest of them.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

The man looked at the drawing on the paper and looked at Kevin’s face at the same time.

“Do you see, he’s the one the queen told us about.” The young man said.

“You’re right Dennis. He’s the Triling.” The older man suddenly said and all the other men fell to the ground and the bow to Kevin.

“We’re sorry for pointing our swords at you great Triling, please find it in your heart to forgive us.” The men said.

With his sword out in display, Kevin walked towards the older man of the group.

“How did you know me?” Kevin wanted to confirm this before he could trust them or add them to his ally.

“We were given a drawing sketch of you by the Queen, she said you are the Triling, that’s why we were able to recognise you.” The man replied, showing the sketch to Kevin.

It looked exactly like Kevin. The queen must have a good way of describing people. She was able to describe Kevin’s appearances to the drawing artist without leaving out any details.

Kevin smiled amusingly to this.

“So what is your name, what is your relationship to the Queen?” Kevin asked and the older man immediately answered.

“My Name is Grangel, I’m an elf who took trainings from the grandmaster of Martial arts and grandmaster of swordsmanship for a few years before I was taken to the palace to guard the Queen along with 50 more guards. But the Queen took a liking to me and made me her personal guard. Until yesterday, she told me about you and gave me a mission to protect you.”

“What about the other men?”

“We have Jeff, Mono, Wayne and Dennis. These four men are the most trusted men of the Queen. We were her personal guard, but she gave us the order to protect you during your journey forth and back from the forbidden forest.” Grangel explained.

‘I can’t believe the Queen ordered her personal guards to escort me on my journey. I owe her one.’ Kevin smiled.

“But, won’t anyone suspect that you’re absent?”

“The Queen said she will deal with that. Although, I don’t think we will be able to work again in the palace. Our absence is more like we ran away from the palace.”

“I’m sorry you have to go through this because of me.” Kevin said.

“It’s nothing. I will do anything for the Triling, even if I’m to lay down my life for him.” Grangel said.

The others also said the same and even pledged to serve him with loyalty.

Kevin chuckled softly. “I’m yet to know who is who among the four of you. And I also need to know the fighting style you’re capable of using.”

“Simple, we’ll introduce ourselves and display our fighting style to you. I’ll go first.” Grangel said.

He stepped backwards a little bit as he brought out the longsword that he had on his back.

“Isn’t that sword heavy?” George said surprisingly.

“You can only carry it if you have a great amount of strength. I doubt a cockroach like you would be able to lift it talk-less of using it to fight.” Lexa said.

George frowned as he was teased by Lexa.

“You think I’m weak? Just wait and see me fight. I’m sure you’ll be surprised.”

“Whatever.” Lexa said wryly as she recalled the day Jeri and her fought together.

Evil thoughts came to her mind as she realised that she wasn’t Jeri but Rajshah. She wanted to punch him for tricking her and for almost killing Kevin on their first day of having sex.

Now that Lexa thought of it, she wondered who had sex with Kevin, was it Rajshah or Jeri. She then remember what Sunny said, Jeri was dead for a long time, so it can’t be Jeri, but Rajshah who used Jeri’s body to have sex with Kevin.

“What a crazy fellow.” Lexa said and George who thought she was talking about him, frowned angrily.

“Hello I’m Grangel, I’m at the rank of a mage soldier and I’ll be showing you what I’m good at.” He said emotionlessly.

“Wait, rank of a mage soldier? Does that mean you don’t have magic?” George suddenly interrupted.

“This bastard, can’t you keep your mouth shut.” Lexa said. She felt it was rude to say an elf doesn’t have magic.

A lot of people hate to know that they can’t use magic and would have no other choice but to join the mage soldiers and train using weapons only.

Some even attempt to commit suicide because of the bullying they receive from those with magic.

“Actually, I have magic.” Grangel said. “I just love using weapons and I was able to combine both elements together. Magic and swordsmanship.”

“Wow really?” George said.

Grangel moved his right hand across the surface of his Longsword and ice magic encased the blade.

“Whoah, how did you do that?” George exclaimed. Kevin was also amazed by this display.

“It is called Magic Fusing, it is a trick we discovered from long lost history books.” Jeff, an elf with a huge stature and hefty weight said as he walked closer to Grangel.

“But there’s another trick called ‘The imaginary Trick’ we can form weapons with the energy of the magic we have.”

Jeff was with no weapon, but then he stretch his hands forward as if he was holding one.

At first, fire emulated from his hand and then it modified into a sword, a short sword to be precise.

“That’s quite tricky, how were you able to do it?” Kevin asked.

“Just imagine holding a sword, then push your magic outward to encase the imaginary sword.” Jeff explained.

“But there’s one thing, this type of thing varies between magic users.” The Elf called Wayne suddenly said. “For those using elemental ability like; Fire, ice, water, lightning, they can only modify the imaginations into sword and arrows. But for earth magic, they can use it to form earth spikes, and spears.”

“What about shadow ability? Can it modified into a weapon?” Kevin asked.

“Although I’ve not seen someone with a shadow magic, I would love to see if it’s possible.” Grangel said.

“Then you’re quite lucky, the person is standing right in front of you.” Kevin said.

“Wait, you are a shadow magic user?” Jeff asked.

Kevin created a shadow dome with him and the others in the dome.

“What do you think?” Kevin said.

“We’ll have to start from the first level. We can start whenever you want.”

“I guess that will be later. I need to be somewhere now.” Kevin said. He explained that he needed to visit the black market as he had some business to deal with before heading deep into the forbidden forest.

It’s a good thing there aren’t any dangerous beast at the foot of the forest, so they were at least safe.

The men also confirmed that this place was the safest part of the Forest.

There was a river they have to cross on the way, anything after that river is dangerous, meaning they are at the safe zone of the forest.

“Well then, we’ll wait till you’re back.” Sunny said and soon Kevin teleported out of their midst.

He appeared just in front of the Chinese merchant, Mr Yun.

He was shocked as he saw Kevin appear all of a sudden to him.

“Where are the rings?”

“Oh you’re here for the rings, I have them prepared for you.” Mr Yun said but Kevin noticed that he was acting strange.

Even the system confirmed it!!
