said as he offered them a seat. “I apologize for having you brought here so suddenly, but things as they are many people within the kingdom jump at every shadow.”
    “I don’t quite know what you mean,” Ash responded. “Has something happened that I was unaware of?”
    “News has spread that the duchess Hawkwing made a deal with the demons and is planning to take over the surrounding lands. It has made the people a little jumpy when someone with even the smallest amount of demon blood is around.”
    “That is absurd,” Ash said rolling his eyes.
    “I agree,” the old man gave a short laugh. “If there was still a nation of demons, they would have been seen before now.”
    “No, there is certainly a demon kingdom, but it is absurd that they would make a deal to take over the surrounding lands,” Ash said and the man’s eyes narrowed. “There would be nothing in it for the demons.”
    “You seem sure of yourself,” Trey said.
    “Well I am the head of the delegate for both the Hawking lands and the demon kingdom, so I hope I would be sure of myself.” When the man’s face started turning white, Ash started to fear he had given him a heart attack.
    “Del-egate,” Trey said after a long silent moment.
    “Yes we are headed to the capital to speak with the king and see if we can end this war peacefully,” Ash explained. “The king has already been notified of our intentions and I hope he listens to wisdom. Otherwise many of the fears the people have might just come to pass.”
    “Are the demons really that strong?” the man asked his voice shaking.
    “Tolarea compared to the human army, how much stronger do you think the demon army is?” Ash asked as he looked over his shoulder at the giantess.
    “That is hard to say my lord,” Tolarea said with a thoughtful expression on her face. “I don’t know the size of the king’s forces, but we only fielded about 4% of our total forces in the last battle. I would guess that if we decided to attack the humans, it would take less than a quarter of a year before they were completely wiped out.”
    Ash and Tolarea continued to discuss what would happen during a war while the man’s face turned as white as a sheet. After a while, the man regained his composure or at least enough of it that he found the strength to talk. “If you are a peaceful delegation, then there is no reason for us to question you further,” the man said weakly.
    “It should have been clear from the markings on our carriage,” Ash replied getting to his feet. “But I can see how mistakes can be made. Now if you don’t mind, I would like to return to our inn before our comrades think something untoward happened to us and war breaks out,” Ash said in a joking manner, but what little color Tray’s face had recovered instantly drained.
    “O-of c-course sir,” Tray said in a trembling voice.

    After the meeting with the town’s armed guards, Ash and the others decided it was best to remain in the inn as much as possible. It wasn’t because they feared the soldiers since from what Ash could see, the strongest didn’t even reach level twenty-five, but because he didn’t see a reason to overly stress the common people.
    While they waited on the spears to be finished, they worked. Ash and Seia made poison while the rest cut the leather Ash had bought and placed a handful of the rice and chaff mix before tying it into a makeshift bag. When a bag was finished, it was just big enough to be hidden easily within ones palm.
    Ash didn’t know if it was because of the ruckus in town, but the smith had been able to finish their order a day early and once again Ash found himself on what felt like an endless road. Ash enjoyed traveling, but he hated having to spend so much time in the carriage. At first it seemed spacious, but with each passing day it felt more and more cramped.
    After the last battle, any time that Ash tried to train his dimension door ability everyone, seemed to throw a
