It's been one week, according to Jade we need about 2 weeks to go out of the forest we've been in this forest for 10 days. that's means 4 days again before we got out. for these 10 days, I learn so much about monster behavior, monster territory, sometimes even we get attack by the monster in this forest, but of course, we can handle it easily. Jade is S rank adventure, I don't ever doubt her strength, I believe she can handle monster around this forest as for me well, I have the three high-rank monster inside me, I doubt that monster in this forest can beat me. Jade even inform me too, about the plant from this era, the one that is useless or can be used for us. she informs me about the magic that was used daily for our life, and from any of them, I've been more surprised about the parallel bag.
the parallel bag was a magic bag that has been enchantment by the magic to have bigger space inside, the size inside the bag it said is as big as Aula house at the village. the magic that was used on my bag to become a parallel bag is space magic. apparently, my bag was parallel too but because there is not too much of my luggage so I don't realize that my bag is a parallel bag. In my bag there is a weapon that the elder gives to me, it was an enhanced knife, enhance armor, and some enhanced amulet. I don't like to bring a big weapon so I request them to give me a knife instead and by the way, I used Red, Ying Yang, and Albert as my weapon. red is manifest to a sword but I rarely used it, to be honest, I still hate to bring a big weapon but I just want to be prepared if there's a monster who can withstand my punch, Ying yang was manifest into a Gauntlet, he became my main weapon. And Albert manifests into a wing on my back, I can retract the wing easily or make the wing disappear at my will.
"Len Len, ummm, I have some request before we go out to the forest?"
Jade suddenly asked me that she have a request for me.
"what request? well as long as it's still I can do, I will help"
"is that so, yeay thank you"
she jumped happily expressing her emotion because I accept her request.
"you see, I want to take a detour on our journey. It's just recently the guild found ruined city southwest from here, it's said that place was the ancient ruin from 5000 years ago, I'm curious about that place, and maybe there's some treasure in there if that so I want to get that treasure"
I'm surprised that there's some ruin from 5000 years ago, I thought all the civilization at that time already perish, ah... now that I said it, my village is historical heritage too. They are a survivor from that calamity. The ruin that jade said was picked my interest too because I want to know about the ruin, and maybe I know something about the ruins.
"hehhh Jade is interested in treasure? I thought you're just battle maniac who doesn't care about anything"
I teased Jade a little.
"am I really look like that? well even if I'm a battle maniac I'm still a girl you know, and of course, I have an interest in the treasure, because I can eat or buy anything I want when we get to the town"
"hahaha well that's true, I don't mind we take a detour I'm not in hurry, and about the ruin, it picked my interest too maybe I know something about the ruin"
"hehe then let's go"
we agreed to take a detour first we want to see a ruin city that apparently just been found by the guild.
we took a detour Jade said it only delaying us 1 day before we got to the city, well I don't mind about that as long, in the end, we go out from this jungle. not so long after we walked from our first place finally we arrive at the ruined city, the place of the ruined city is below the cliff there's some waterfall in it. it looks like the city was sunk to the ground, maybe it was because of the great earthquake after the war. the earthquake that made our place became the island. when we saw it from up here we can see the whole ruin city, it was so mysterious how can all the building is still intact, well, not all of them but some of them have still some shape even after they sunk to the cliff like this. we go down with our wing, I used Albert's wing to glide inside the cliff jade use her wing too just like me.
"...."
I was speechless when I see this ruin city, this is not some random ruin, the building is already destroyed and doesn't have any shape anymore but some of them still have a shape, the iconic statue of the city is been buried by the sand, and some of them is sunk into the water. to think that the building can withstand for 5000 years there's only plant cover all the building the sun come from up above illuminates the ruin, the sound of a bird can be heard, the wind in here full of dust but this place is so nostalgic. this place is the silent witness of historic event around 5000 years ago. yes, this is the city that I know, it was my country's capital city. how do I know? because the country palace is still in there the half of the building already destroyed but even if only half there's no way I don't know about the country palace when I was a child when my father sometimes brought me here to sightseeing. And the iconic monument of this city is something that I will never forget since there was a precious moment with my family in there. I immediately recognized this place.
"to think that I will see this place again in this time..."
I whisper it with a low voice.
I feel really nostalgic seeing all of this building. I used to live in the capital city, but because there is trouble, I moved to the dorm, I have never seen the capital city again for 3 years but now it's not 3 years to be precisely no I don't see the capital city for 5000 years.
Jade hear my voice when I whisper
"so Len Len do know about this city aren't you?"
"well how can I say this place..... there's no way I don't know about this place, this place was the capital city of my country and that building over there was country palace"
I pointed to the building that I recognize as the country palace.
if I'm not wrong there's should be a high monument statue near the country palace the high monument maybe already gone it's been 5000 years, after all, seeing all remain at this ruin even makes me wonder how can this ruin still survive.
"heee, if that building is country palace should it be there's some treasure in there?"
Jade excitedly asking to me
"well, maybe there is some treasure"
well, to be honest, I don't know if there's some treasure, but as long as I know all the country palace has its own underground or bunker. maybe in there, there's something worth getting in. but there's something besides nostalgia feeling inside my heart for some reason since the first time I land in here I feel really uneasy, I don't know what causes me to this but my heart is restless but I tried to ignore it because I'm more curious to what happened to this city
"then let's g..."
before Jade finish what she said, I shut her mouth with my hand and make a gesture of 'be quiet to Jade'
"shhhh"
I realize that we aren't alone in this ruin ever since I got to this place I can feel there's another presence but I don't know if that presence realize us coming here or not
we then prepared our weapon and hide behind some of the ruin. the presence is coming from the country palace, Jade finally realizes it too. the presence gonna come out but this presence is maybe... there's another human inside the building I don't know if it's a monster or a person. not long after that, we can see two people get out of the building and talking to each other, one of them was an elf and the other one who have a big body and full plate armor was a human, judge by their appearance looks like he is the bodyguard of the elf.
"fuhhh it's just another people huh? luckily it's not some monster"
I can hear Jade sighed and dropping her guard but I'm still in the alert mode for some reason I can't relax from knowing the two presence we feel before was another human, my heart feels so restless I don't know why.
