"What was that?"
I asked Rudy, when Rudy suddenly shut down the device I was surprised, he didn't give any sign or waiting for us he just shut down the communication device when he heard the "silent mode activate".
"It's our code… that code is used if something important er 48happen to the village and they need to hide all of our precious things, usually we did this when we have a guest from the outside or maybe our island is getting attacked, though the probability of our island get attack is slim, maybe… there's a guest that come to our village."
He sighed a little and wiped his sweat, Rudy's expression somehow become wary.
"Heee? but why did they hide all of it?"
"Either that guest is one of the people we wary about or maybe… that person is our enemy, the possibilities of the person who come maybe comes from crystal continent since one of the nations around there is have an agreement with us."
"Ooh I see"
The Village is pretty much wary about everything, they didn't know where is the enemy and who is the enemy, they don't want to reveal themselves to the world, they afraid that maybe the village will get dragged to the political talk in the world, and afraid that my existence is been studied by all nation around the world, where they didn't know the true enemy, they protect m like parent protect their son from any dangerous thing.
"Master, the spear that you talk about…."
Asked jade, It looks like she demands the explanation from me, not only Jade but Rudy and Arsya too, they want a clear explanation when I said 'stop that beast with that spear' before.
"Ahh… well, I will explain it now. Remember when Alcott said that 'there's something like a spear that held that beast down'? When Alcott said that beast is strong and some kind of impossible to defeat, I have already my mind in that spear if the beast is really impossible to defeat, how can that beast is being held down by that spear?"
The three of them then realized and were surprised by what I said.
"I see… you're right if that beast is really impossible to defeat, why did that beast is held down by that spear?"
Said Jade,
"Yeah, you're right, but master len, if we used that logic of yours, that beast is maybe really impossible to be killed…"
Said Rudy, I understand what he meant
"What do you mean?"
Jade is confused.
"The spear is held down that beast for over 5000 years in that gate and yet that beast didn't die from that spear… I have a hunch, that spear maybe is something that can only hold or seal that beast and not for killing him, even though we can't beat it… at least we must seal that beast back before the disaster is spread to the world more than this"
Yes, that spear is maybe the only thing that can seal that beast back, I don't know how big is that beast, if Alcott said that beast height is around 15 meters that means, the spear should be around... 10 meters or more. I order Aira and some other people from the village to get that spear, to become our weapon if we fail to hold that beast in this city.
"You're already thinking this far, huh? As expected of our master"
Rudy then sighed in relief.
"Hehe, what did I said about him, he is really genius, you know."
Jade boasted it proudly.
I'm embarrassed to be praised by them.
"I'm not that smart nor a genius, you know, I just hear Alcott's explanation carefully, that is why I can know it."
"Even so, master is really smart, Rudy even didn't realize that the spear can hold that beast down, he is to focus on how to handle the situation, haha"
Arsya then compliments me.
"Thank you all of you…"
It's not that I didn't like to be complimented, it just… I'm not really used to it… I just reply to them with thanks.
"Now is not the time to chit chat we need to prepare for the battle"
Rudy ends our conversation.
"You're right, Rudy, you have to speech in front of the town hall, to boasted the spirit of all the people who will join the battle."
Arsya then notifies Rudy about the speech.
"Hahhhh… is not my specialty though… Let's go we go to the town hall"
He sighed, the two of them look pretty much relaxed even though there's a flood, Probably all the soldier and the adventure is already prepared and waiting for Rudy in the town hall, Rudy is the one who gives the command, after all. Before we go out of the meeting room, I requested something from Rudy.
"Rudy, can I borrow Arsya for a while?"
The three of them then stopped and looked in my direction.
"Borrow? Did you need something?"
Rudy is confused as to why I need to borrow Arsya.
"Yeah, I have some errand to her, is it okay if I borrow the secretary of the guild for a while?"
I asked him.
"Well, I don't mind though, it is our job to answer your request, how about you Arsya?"
"Of course I'm okay with it"
Answer Arsya confidently.
"Then if that's okay, Rudy I will catch up to you"
"Master, why did you need Arsya, but not me?"
Jade asked with a sad expression, she maybe thinks that she is useless because I didn't ask for her help, that's why she looked sad.
"Well… the job is really suited for Arsya, not for you jade, it's more about the compatibility of the job, and besides you're an S rank you should be in the battle to boost the morale of the adventure and the soldier."
I tried to calm her down, I feel bad, but it's really all about the compatibility, I just thought that maybe Arsya is really fitted for this job. To me, Arsya is like a ninja or maybe an assassin? she can erase her presence, her concealment magic is top-notch, to the point she can't be seen by eyes that have been boosted by sight magic if she is serious. And not only that, she is really agile or fast, but her fighting style is also like people who fight with deception and precisely to the target. compared to Jade, Jade is like a berserker who destroys anything in front of her, she is not suited for the errand that I have now.
"yeah… you're right, but you should catch up for us okay? I will wait for you in the front line len!"
She already cheered up.
"Okay, wait for me okay!"
The four of us then separated, Rudy and Jade set out to the town hall, and for me and Arsya, I want to discuss something with her, it's about my uneasiness from this morning that I thought it came from the new beast, I have another feeling about this matter that I don't like.
Rudy and Jade come to the town hall, everywhere they see when they out from the guild building, they only see the refugee until he comes out to the second wall. the last line of the defense is in the second wall, Rudy made the order is that the region in the first wall is expected to be a battlefield too. All the catapult is already placed in the tower on the wall, with the ballista and the double ballista, some of them are placed behind the wall since our main focus is the south gate, the tower, and the wall can't load more than this. And just before Rudy and Jade come to the town halls, they saw the scenery of the city is enveloping by something like a thin cloth from the air that concentrates in the bureaucrat building, it was the barrier. The barrier is has been activated by the Official of this city. The barrier is as big as the city with the end of that barrier is the wall itself, there are two layers of the barrier, one is for the outside/the first wall, the second is to protect the second wall.
In the bureaucrat building before Rudy get out from the guild building.
There are 4 people, in some room in the bureaucrat building, they made a round formation and in the middle of them, there's a sword that didn't fully stick up to the ground.
"Gentleman, for our oath, our job is not only for the prosper this city or our nation, is our job too, to protect this city, we must also fulfill our oath and job, to protect this city, until the last drop of our blood we must doing our best so that we didn't shame our self and our nation as the representative that sent in here!"
It was the chairman, he spoke like he is the one who owns the city.
"Yeah, for the future too… we must do our best."
Said, the ministry of finance, Adelaide
"Yeah, we can't bring our country to same as low as Argos and the 4 other nations."
Said Karman, ministry of the people
"We are ready anytime, chairman!"
Said Foll Bandel, his vice
"Umu, The preparation is done… all of us put our hand to the grip of the sword, we will push the sword to the ground so that the barrier will active while we doing that remember to put out all of our magic to the sword so that the barrier becomes more strong!!!"
"""Yes"""
Said three of them in the unison.
Then they begin chanting together
""""The god who bring our soul to the realm of the death, the God who gives us the life to earth, you're the one who rules the life and the death, as our prayer, we beseech upon you the power to protect our city!!""""
The four of them is really like the true noble, the four of them doing the best to protect this city from anything even though they're not from this city, they do the job that has been tasked by them from their king with all of his power, they protect the city and protect the citizen to their best.
The four of them pour all of their magic until the sword is pierce the earth, the sword is the medium of the magic to call the barrier, it was the defend system of this city. And for the chant, it was needed so that they can bring out their imagination to reality since the magic is used our imagination to manifest, the more powerful you said about the chant the more powerful the magic you will display, example, if you imagined the fire, you must be imagined a little fire in your hand, but what if you said the fire of the god? What did you imagine? I bet is something like a big fire that can eat anything, yes, the stronger the control and the imagination, the stronger the magic that you will set out, that's why they chose the name of the god to strengthen their magic.
