The drunk man surprised, "Oh Oh, I remember now, You are the real Torian Ironlaw".
Rusk denied him, "No you got the wrong guy, I am Rusk".
The drunk man did not let him finish, and he showed the bounty picture of Rusk:
"No, No you can't fool me. You are Torian Ironlaw, look at this bounty picture. This is you just younger a bit".
Rusk had no choice but scare him away, "Hey get out of here, before I kill you right now".
"Okay, okay, but I will be back", the drunk man left and the kids felt relieved.
Kael said, "I think we need to kill him before he rats us out".
Rusk smiled, "Don't worry, he is a drunk nobody will beileve him".
Kael agreed, "If you say so".
With everything that had happened, everyone returned to the inn. Rusk went into his room saying, "Guys you better sleep well, we have a lot of things to do tomorrow".
Just before Kael and Jace eneterd the room, Alex stopped them, "Hey can you guys tell me about who the hell is Rusk".
Jace said, "He is Rusk, if you wanna know more, go ask him yourself".
Kael said, "Bye, good night".
The boys closed the door on Alex. It made her really angry and curious.
She then entered her room too. She couldn't sleep, her brain was busy:
"Just who is him, he can use magic, that drunk showed us a picture saying he is Torian Ironlaw. I don't know anything, who is he?"
She decided to ask him herself tomorrow after thinking about it. She still couldn't sleep until dawn.
She was sleeping dreaming about her happy family, then someone knocked her door repeatedly. She woke up angry, and opened the door. It was old cleaning lady.
She couldn't say anything, and greeted her awkwardly, saying "Hel, Hello, I will do the cleaning here you can go".
The old lady left saying, "What a nice young lady", and Alex closed the door.
Knock knock.
She heard knocking again, and opened the door:
"You don't have to worry, I will do the cleaning".
It was Kael, "What cleaning".
Alex yelled, "Shut up, I didn't know it was you".
Kael said, "Stop yelling, Rusk said to meet us at the bar, so we could eat something".
Alex yelled, blushing, "Okay, You don't have to wait for me here".
Kael said, "Okay, whatever".
Alex closed the door as soon as he finished talking.
Kael left, "What's up with her".
Before going to the bar, Alex had decided to go to the depth of the truth behind Rusk's real identity.
She came to the bar, and met up with Rusk, and the boys. They had great breakfast and it was tasty.
But she couldn't ask him, because Rusk suggested that they should go to the blacksmith's store.
They went out to find good blacksmith. After asking people around, they found one.
When they arrived, the owner of the store, who is in his late fifties, greeted them with open arms:
"Hello customers. How can I help you, I am Greg, the owner of this nice store".
Rusk told him, "Hi, we came here to get weapons".
Greg asked, "What kind of weapons you are looking for?".
Alex asked for daggers, and Kael asked for a sword.
They went into the shop, and Greg let them choose whatever weapon they want. While they were checking out the swords, bows, daggers, armors, Greg noticed the sword Jace was holding:
"Hey kid, Can I please see that sword you have".
Jace handed him the sword, "Sure".
After seeing it, Greg realized the sword had remains of mana, and asked:
"Where did you get this?".
Jace asked, "Is that important?".
Greg's attitude changed towards them, "Can you guys use magic?".
Jace was flustered, "How did you know about that?".
Greg smiled, "In that case, drop all the trash here and come with me".
He led them to a hidden room full of amazing weapons that can withstand mana.
Kael asked Greg, "What is the difference between these swords and the swords you call trash?".
Greg answered, "I call them trash because you guys can use magic. Those trash swords will break easily if you use mana on them".
Rusk showed him his sword, "Can you repair this?".
After examining it, Greg asked, "How many years have you been using this? it was a great sword, but it is practically trash now".
"I have been using it for fifteen years", Rusk replied.
Greg told him, "Its time has come, this sword served you well, but it will break if you use it couple of times. I suggest you get a new one".
Rusk seemed upset, because he got the sword when he was appointed as the heir of the family. His father gave that to him. After remembering the memories, he said, "Okay get me a new one".
After some time, they finished choosing what they will use.
Kael picked a sword, Alex chose three daggers that are designed for close combat.
Jace already had his sword. Rusk, on the other hand, chose a sword too.
After showing the weapons to Greg, he said, "The weapons you chose are good, they fit for your physique".
Rusk asked, that how much would he sell them for. Greg told them with a grin on his face:
''It will be 50 gold coins".
Kael shouted, "What, 50 gold coins, why is it so much?"
Greg told them, "It is good swords, I made them for mayor of our little Silvermead town".
Alex replied, "Hey stop scamming us, you old fart".
Greg told them, "I was just messing with you, it will be 9 gold coins"
Jace gave him the money, "It was Edward Marshall who is the owner of this sword".
Greg smiled, And everyone left saying thanks.
After they left, Greg told himself, "Torian, I hope you get your reputation back".
Rusk and the kids headed for a place to eat dinner, during the dinner Alex asked Rusk to tell him about Torian Ironlaw.
"Hey, Rusk, can you tell me about Torian Ironlaw".
Rusk told her everything that had happened in the past.
