After Eros and the others left. Aquila stayed guarding the Ship. Serena is reading a book and Saya is on the training room training her sword skills.
Aquila went to Serena side. He then took one teacup and served tea to himself. Aquila then started drinking with the tea and enjoying the great calm.
Aquila turned to Serna who is completely immersed in the book. He then asked her.
Aquila: "Can I know what book are you reading, It seems....hmm interesting".
Serena raised her head and looked at Aquila. She didn't expect a shadow beast like Aquila to be interested in books.
Aquila: "Amm, I am sorry for interrupting your reading but when I saw the look on your face that showed the concentration on this book, it picked my curiosity and I wanted to read it".
Serena: "No, it isn't really a problem. You see, this book is a recollection of the memories about the seven deadly sins generals".
Aquila: "Oh, what do you mean???".
Serena: "Because the magic ability of mine needs much more mana than I can give it at the Spirit mage level, I can't use it that many times and so I decided to write all of the memories I need or I want into a book. I use my ability to access the memories and at the Same time, I record all the information in books".
Aquila is very surprised by what he heard. He never expected her to record the memories in the book. This will make anybody able to access those pieces of information and read them.
Aquila: "This is really a genius idea. Can you please give me the book so I can read it. I mean after you finish it of course. The past that was erased 300000 years ago can now be known. Your magic ability is really amazing, it will make us know our continent history".
Serena who saw Aquila excitement and smiled. She didn't expect him to show an excited face over this. It showed how interested he is in History.
Serena: "No. You may not know it but just the information about the seven deadly sins generals took me 5 books to write. I also don't have all the information about everything. Because of my level, I still can't access everything. For now, I will give you volume 1 and you can start reading it because I am in volume 2 so I can let you borrow it".
When Aquila saw the book in her hand is volume 2, he felt shocked. Her power of learning must be really amazing.
After all, Eros and the others only heard about the seven deadly sins generals a month ago. She was able to write all the 5 books and even remember everything about them.
There might be even information about them they didn't know themselves. This shows how she is very intelligent and doesn't waste time.
Serena took the book of the 1st volume from her spatial ring. She got this ring from Sophia as a gift for their friendship when they first met.
She then gave it to Aquila who started reading it. Aquila opened the book and when he opened it he found the title.
Aquila: (The seven deadly generals, an elite force of the Dragon Devil king?!!!!! What is the meaning of this? I thought that they were a group of evil warriors).
Aquila didn't wait for an answer and just started reading the book.
______________________
[After 4 hours].
It's been 4 hours since Eros and the others came to this city searching for any lead about the Clifford family. It was the beginning of the day when they reached this place.
Now its almost high noon, Aquila and Serena who stayed in the Ship, spent all that time reading the book about the Seven deadly sins Generals.
Finally, Aquila finished half the book and felt tired as he sat for 4 hours in one place just reading. Still, after all the information he read, he couldn't think about pain or anything.
Aquila: "Do they really exist? I mean just from the books, their power and terror is really terrifying. What's more, I only read about 1 of them and it made me really have some fear. How did they die".
Serena: "You only read half what he did. His power is very immense and unless you fight him, you can't really know his true power".
Aquila: "Yes. Although I believe that I can't defeat this one named thanks to The Drago. I am sure that the great spirit kings of the empire, Eros or any elite spirit king can finish this guy".
Serena: "It's not that simple as you think".
Aquila is very surprised by Serena response. After all, no matter how strong the seven deadly sins are, they can be defeated as they were in the past.
Aquila: "Miss Serena, let me correct you. They were defeated 300000 years ago. Now that they have been freed again, they must be very weak to even move".
Serena: "Let me correct you there. They have not been defeated nor killed nor injured, they were sealed. Do you mean what selling means?? It means that 300000 years ago, they couldn't kill them so they decided to seal them because its the only way. We cant now who wins until we fight them really and looking at the records I have, our chances are pretty small".
Aquila couldn't answer her. It's true that the seal action meant that they couldn't defeat them. It also meant that their strength was above the great warriors of the past.
Before Serena could say anything more, they heard a sound coming from down the Ship. Aquila got up from his seat and went to see what is happening.
He found that someone is trying to climb from down the Ship. Aquila didn't expect someone from the workers will try and climb the ship. What's more, It was a kid who seemed to be on his teens.
Aquila felt a little frustrated that someone interrupted the important conversation between him and Serena because it was concerning the whole continent.
He then jumped from the ship and went to the direction of the kid. The kid didn't look at Aquila at all because he didn't feel his presence thanks to the shadow technique.
Swoosh Swoosh
Aquila speeded up and entered the shadow world through the Ship shadow. He then went from the shadow world to the kid shadow.
[AN: By the way, I never mentioned it but Aquila has 2 different forms. the first one is when he's attached to Sophia shadow and the second one is when he isn't.
First form:
https://pin.it/zhrazcbo4tm3as
(It's the bigger and more powerful form. He is 2,5m tall).
Second form: https://pin.it/uxezwyfcfyou77 (He has a white feathered body and black wings. He is 1,6m tall).]
Two claw hands appeared from the Kid shadow. Aquila was about to catch the kid when suddenly...
Pouff
The kid disappeared before Aquila could touch him. Aquila who saw that was shocked, he didn't expect the Kid to be able to escape from his hands. Although in his form now, his level is only at the beginning of 6th-grade, he can still take down a kid.
Aquila didn't think about it too much and immediately went after him. After all, he wanted to see what abilities this kid Has.
When the Kid saw Aquila he didn't stay too much and immediately tried to run. He knew that he couldn't defeat so he decided to just flee.
Aquila: "Where do you think you're going? You came all this way to the ship so just stay here for the launch".
????: "No, thank you".
After Aquila said that he started flying towards The kid with high speed. The kid didn't turn and continued running.
Aquila reached him and was about to catch him when he suddenly turned and looked at him and then...
pouff
He disappeared again and appeared just behind him but this time, Aquila was able to see what happened clearly.
Aquila: (He didn't disappear, he dodged my attack within the perfect time and angle. He went and slide under me. Still, how is that possible, nobody under the emperor level warrior should be able to see me? let alone dodge it. Even emperor levels will have a problem with that yet this kid who is just at... oh, he's a middle stage of master warrior..... not bad but this isn't enough for him).
Aquila looked at the Kid escaping. he still didn't want to let him go as he picked his curiosity. He thought about a way to catch him and then smiled and thought about a way.
Aquila: (Hahahaha, let's see if you can escape this time).
Aquila this time didn't fly and just went to the ground and started running after him. After the kid slide under him, he turned right started running.
Aquila followed just like a shadow and this made the Kid very afraid. Finally, the Stamina of the kid started running low and he started slowing.
Aquila saw this as a chance and started speeding up. He went just behind him and before he could touch him again, the same thing happened.
Woosh
The kid dodged the fist of Aquila coming towards him. The boy turned and smiled at Aquila with winning expression.
Bam Bam.
The kid fell down and didn't understand what happened. He looked at Aquila who is smirking at him.
Aquila: "Hahahaha, did you think that you would have defeated me? look, Kid, your ability must be related to dodging or something. I still don't understand it well but I am sure that you could dodge the attack that you could only focus on. That means if you're enemy can hit you many hits at the same time, you will die. Also if the attack is fast enough, you couldn't even focus on".
????: "So while I was concentrating on the attack coming from the front, you hit me in other places".
Aquila: "Hahaha, its good that you understand this. Now, let's get you on the ship you wanted to enter".
Before the kid could say anything, Aquila lifted him up from the ground and flew to the ship lawn deck. He then put him beside him and Serena.
In reality, it took Aquila 5 minutes to catch the kid. He only was shocked by his ability but if he used his full power it would've taken much less.
Serena looked at the little kid in front of Aquila and didn't want to say anything. She only stared at him and this gave both Aquila and the kid a cold sweat.
Aquila: "Miss Serena, this is the kid who tried to enter the Ship. His name is...wait, what is your name? Don't try to lie".
The kid didn't say anything and just looked at Serena. Her expressionless face made him fear her more than Aquila. He then sighed and started talking.
????: " My name is Leo Clifford. I am 13 years old. I work here in this harbor. I wanted to see how the ship look that's all".
Aquila: "Hahaha. didn't you hear that there is a magic beast protecting this Ship hahahahaha...0_0 0_0 Wait, you said that your name is Leo Clifford?".
Leo: "Yes. my mother is a Clifford so I took my mother name and my father is a commoner without a name".
Serena: "So your mother is a Clifford. Tell me who does know about this??".
Leo: "Me and my mother".
Aquila: "What about your father?".
Leo: "Dead".
Serena: "If its a secret between you and your mother, why did you tell us such an important secret??".
Leo couldn't say anything and scratched the back of his head. He then looked at Serena and blushed a little.
Leo: "I couldn't lie to Miss Serena because she has a beautiful face".
Serena: "0_0 0_0".
Aquila: "0_0 Hahahaha".
Serena blushed and Aquila started laughing
