BRAGR) Assassination? Part 1
🕑 Added 2024-04-18 03:37:31 +0000 UTCI try to ignore the disobedient maid and turn my attention to Silvie who was standing there waiting for orders. “Silvie, I want to put you in charge of this house. No one is allowed to enter it or around it for one hundred feet unless I say it’s okay. Can you make that possible?”
“I can do that with out issue Master. No one will be able to set foot here unless you okay it.” Silvie replied with a bow.
“And umm… Silvie… If you get lonely, feel free to contact me at any time. I do not wish for you to think I am just stationing you here and then abandoning you.” I felt kind of bad. Silvie would be here alone most of the time, so I couldn’t help but feel the guilt welling up inside me. I summoned her, and now she will be here following the orders I gave her.
“I understand, Master. If I get lonely, I will contact you and talk with you for a while.” I do not know if I was seeing things or not, but Silvie seemed to have a bit of happiness in her eyes even though her face did not change at all.
“Good. As for the house itself, I will try to make it more livable… I don’t have any furniture at this time, so umm…” The house was basically empty, so it was not going to be easy to furnish right away since everything was skill-based.
“Worry, not Master. I can easily cut a few trees down and fashion some things for the house.” Silvie seemed gung-ho about this, so I will leave it to her.
“Then decorate the house as you see fit. Also, if any players ask who you are or whom you work for, tell them you are part of the organization called The Fallen of Elysium. If we can spread the word a bit, then we will be able to get the name out there more.” I see Silvie nod in response. At some point, she had pulled out a feather duster from only God knows where and began cleaning.
As I watched her work, a thought came to mind. “Oh, right, Silvie, do you need to eat food or drink water?”
“No, Master, we maids do not need sustenance like that. We have long transcended the mortal body.” Silvie replies, which confuses me. What did she mean by she transcended the mortal body? What exactly were these maids? I had a lot of questions, but I decided to stay quiet for now.
“Master! That package began to move, and many black objects came out of it!” Hilde’s voice rang into my ears.
“Hilde, what did these black objects do? In fact, I will log out now.” I asked as I found a spot to sit down and send Angela a message. “Angel, something happened in the apartment. I will need to log out real quick. You can finish things up in game. If it is serious, I will come get you.”
“Okay, be careful,” Angel replied. But she seemed to be multi-tasking since her answer actually read pkay ve varegul.
With Angel out of the way, I turn to Silvie and say: “I need to log out for a bit. I will be back as soon as possible. If you need me just call out to me.”
“I understand, Master,” Silvie replied as I hit the log-out button.
As soon as I took my headset off, I pulled my arm free from Angel and made my way out to the living room, where I saw Hilde using a barrier to contain what looked like millions of black robot-looking things. “Hilde, what do you make of it?”
“I am not sure. They are nothing I have ever seen. They seemed to be from this world, but from what I have gathered from research while you were playing, this world’s technology is not advanced enough to make these things, but the strange thing is there is a bit of magic in them, I think being used as an energy source?” Hilde’s reply makes me frown. Just what were these bastards planning?
“Any idea what they do?” It was hard to tell just what they were with how they were all bunched up together.
“They were probably meant to kill you, Master. They ate right through the packaging and half the table the package was sitting on. I was able to gather them all together, making sure not to miss a single one. But they did not seem to want to leave the area since they were marching towards the bedroom.” I look over too see even the rug seemed to have been eaten away by these things.
“Hmmm… Keep them contained. I need to make a call.” I went back into the other room and grabbed my cell phone. I then found Angel’s father’s number and gave him a ring.
“Oh? Never thought you would call me yourself.” I hear Derrick, Angel’s father’s voice, on the other line.
“I normally would not disturb you, but something important came up. Make sure none of your people open any packages from Mortal Online or any unknown packages at all. It's best if you just destroy them as soon as possible. ”
