Berserk: The Prophet

............

Perhaps fueled by the events of that morning, Bazso chased the thief into a narrow alley. The boy, clearly familiar with the area, zigzagged around and was about to climb over a wall to escape Bazso's pursuit.

"Drink!!!"

With a sudden burst of strength, Bazso grabbed the thieving child by the ankle, pulled him to the ground, grabbed the back of his collar, lifted the child high in the air, and slammed him to the ground.

"That despicable thief!!"

Thinking that he almost lost his food money, Bazso immediately climbed on top of the child and punched him.

"Stop...stop hitting me, I'll give it back to you..." The skinny child's nose was bleeding profusely from the beating, and his thin arms were no match for the massive fists of Bazso.

"Huff...huff...Alright, Baziso, let him go."

Green arrived, panting heavily. Looking at the skinny child, he could tell at a glance that he was from some slum, severely malnourished and unable to withstand a beating.

Bazso gradually calmed down after hearing Green's words. Since he had already taught him a lesson, he should just get the money back.

"Hmph, hand over the money!"

Although Bazso stopped, he still didn't get off the child who had stolen things. He reached out and searched the child's body, snatched the money bag, snorted coldly, and returned the money bag to Green.

"Boss, want to count?"

The child was lying on the ground with his face swollen from being hit, and he probably wouldn't be able to get up for a while.

"no need."

Green weighed it in his hand; the weight was about the same as before. He stuffed the leg of lamb directly into Bazso's arms, walked over to the child, and took three copper coins from his pocket, placing them on the child's chest.

"I don't know why you would steal when you have hands and feet, but take this money to tide you over." After doing this, Green turned and left. This time, he put the money bag in his pocket and then put it back into his spatial storage. He was lucky this time, but he might not be so lucky next time.

The child, whose face was bruised and swollen, was stunned; he had never encountered such a situation before.

"Wait...wait!" The child picked up the copper coin in his pocket, propped himself up on his arm, and forced himself to sit up.

"May I have your name?!"

"Green." Green left the alley without turning his head.

"Hmph! You're lucky." Bazzo followed Green out.

.........

"Boss, why leave money for that thief?" Bazso asked, munching on his lamb leg, clearly puzzled. After all, letting him go was already showing mercy.

"Well... because I think it's hard enough just to live, and besides, the money was recovered, right?"

Green thought about it and wondered what he might do if he were in a situation where he couldn't get enough to eat.

"But..."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so big, but you're not slow at all when chasing thieves, Bazso."

Green jokingly changed the subject, not wanting to think too much about his true feelings, perhaps because he had also gone through a very difficult period himself.

"Haha, of course..." The simple-minded Baziso quickly forgot about the previous topic and got into a lively conversation. Soon, the two finished their nutritious breakfast while eating, chatting and walking.

"Burp~" The two of them let out a satisfied burp. To balance their nutrition, they bought two apples at a fruit stand. Along the way, Green's eyes were also busy, scanning several tailor shops.

"There are two small copper coins in total, these are your change."

"Let's go check out that tailor shop." Green took the eight small copper coins and ran excitedly towards the tailor shop.

I've never been to a medieval tailor shop before.

Inside the house with its blue bricks and stone tiles, women were weaving cloth and a shop owner selling fabric and clothing. Children were carving wooden toys in their hands. Judging from the energetic faces of these three people, this family could be described as self-sufficient.

"Oh? Where did such a small child come from?" The tailor shop owner had just finished serving a customer when he saw Green and his companion.

“We’re here to buy clothes,” Green replied calmly.

"Buying clothes? Great, how much did you bring?" The tailor shop owner looked the two of them up and down, seemingly a little skeptical.

"Let's look at the winter clothes first; the price is negotiable." Green pulled a silver coin from his pocket.

The shopkeeper was initially reluctant, but seeing that the two had brought silver coins, he began to introduce them.

"Are we buying for both of you?"

"Yes."

"Only these two styles are available for children..."

Green glanced around briefly. Because of the season, the ready-made clothes being sold now were all lined with fleece. There were only simple coarse cloth belted tops and riding breeches. Of course, there were also adult woolen coats and a few pairs of wool socks with boots.

"Of course, we can make them to fit both of you, but boys grow very fast, so it's better to buy a size larger," the tailor shop owner said enthusiastically, unlike before.

Green thought about it for a moment and decided to try on the clothes first. The shopkeeper made a good point, and the weather had been very cold these past two days. If he didn't change into new clothes soon, he would get sick from sleeping outside every night.

"Can I try it on?"

"certainly..."

..................

He looked in the not-too-large bronze mirror, wearing a coarse cloth, fleece-lined blue belted robe with sleeves and drawstring linen shorts, slightly oversized wool socks with ankle boots, and he looked quite energetic.

"Not bad, this is the one, how about it?" The shopkeeper nodded in satisfaction. This kid has a good presence when dressed up, and those solid muscles mean he must be a knight's squire.

Green was very satisfied; indeed, wearing new clothes made all the difference.

How much does this set cost?

"Only 120 copper coins? I'll give you 100 copper coins since you're young!" The shopkeeper was quite generous.

Green nodded; a hundred copper coins for a complete outfit was already quite good.

"Bazso, why don't you give it a try too?"

"I... this is really..." Bazso hung his head dejectedly, tugging at the corner of his clothes. He had no money on him, and it would be too embarrassing to trouble his boss like this again.

Noticing Bazzo's embarrassment, Green patted him on the shoulder casually.

After all, with his spatial ability, he wouldn't starve even if he didn't have money. But clothes were a different story. Other people's cheat codes had everything they wanted, but his broken spatial ability and broken system could only slowly level up in a trial realm without making a sound. He couldn't even beat a few little Karamis who didn't appear in the original work.

“It’s alright. If you get cold or sick in the stables this coming winter, who will help me? Don’t forget I’m injured right now! I need help, Bazso.”

Hearing Green's words, Bazzo's desire to become stronger was strengthened once again. He looked at Green with great seriousness and gripped Green's shoulders tightly.

"Boss, I will definitely work hard to become stronger and repay you!"

"Ouch!! That hurts, you idiot!" Green's entire expression instantly contorted into a mask of pain because he had touched his wound, and it seemed to be bleeding again.

"Ah! I'm sorry, boss!"

Before Green could react, Bazzo quickly grabbed his own clothes and ran off to change.
