An Elfagos walked through the wall, his tall, slender body and silver hair combed as neatly as possible. It's still night though. Very neat appearance looked less tolerated by Werden.
Around the figure glowed several rocks, which seemed fragile and also almost dense. But its odd density could shed light in strange ways.
Realizing his reverie, Werden immediately bowed slowly. Although inside he was a little squinted at Advos, on the outside he had to look submissive. "Advos, it's me Werden."
Advos waved his hand signaling Werden to get up. A few drowsiness wrinkles were seen slowly brushing his eye bags. "Werden, what's wrong?" And then Advos pulled out a chair not far from where he was standing. With a fairly rough movement, he stomped his body just like that.
Advos's glance signaled for Werden to do the same. But Werden politely refused. Because it could be that Werden would immediately fall asleep when he sat down.
"There's a letter. This letter was sent by Hamdi, an Elipsis pilot. A few days ago he had brought Prince Aerus on a galactic trip." Werden's handheld out a bottle containing a message from Hamdi.
"Are you sure that this message is from Hamdi, and that there is no other malicious message in it?"
Werden pursed his lips wryly. A few days ago there was a message of terror that reached the palace. It just so happened that an inexperienced Elfagos passed the message, without doing a thorough inspection.
As a result, the message became a tracker and also an explorer in the palace. It had almost endangered the king's life until finally it was discovered and finally tamed.
Yeah, things like that often happened especially when the message-receiving technology in the Hexodar Kingdom was still rather new. But to be honest the generalization of the Elfagos on duty was unethical. Werden knew that the blame would be borne by all the Elfagos, but he had experience.
It seemed that Advos's question offended him.
Feeling the need to be angry but he was powerless, Werden replied, "Sure. I've confirmed it. I even checked the contents of the message it. The only thing I can report to you is that the closing of the message is incomplete. Maybe because it was eroded by various terrain on the way.
"I've heard galactic news that the planet's orbits are quite chaotic, and black holes are being created at some point. Maybe that's the reason."
Advos looked completely uninterested. He felt that that was not the point he was talking about for now.
Advos was indeed an Elfagos who was quite rigid, very disciplined and also had many strict rules. When he asked a question then the answer he needed must match the question.
He valued punctuality, and also saved energy.
"Go back to your workplace! Watch again if a message arrives!" Advos immediately left, re-entering the wall utilizing teleportation. Not many people were allowed to teleport within the palace, but the Advos were exempted, just like the rest of the nobility.
Werden bowed again, even though Advos was out of sight. He rushed out of Advos's room, met two suspicious guards, then walked to his workplace.
His weak and soft feet flicker as if airing in various places, it would be night or maybe early morning. Various ornaments and palace make-up were still able to amaze Werden, especially for the light hangers mounted on the ceiling, like ribbon decorations at a birthday party.
The ribbon decoration would provide light for ancient paintings, which had a very high aesthetic. Stagnant water, a lotus flower that lived and shined brightly. Then the ancestors surrounded the flower, struggling with various physiques.
The painting depicted when the ancestors still had more than one mate. They could still make choices, and they would still be able to live a long life even if their mate has died.
Living like an ancestor might be easier. Because the time limit seemed too flexible.
"I wish the universe would give my children and grandchildren more opportunities," Werden whispered, sighed, and then entered the door.
On the other hand, Advos had come out of his room after he put on the royal robe that was wrapped around his body, and which covered his nightwear. His hair was very thin and neat as if to emphasize how he had lived all this time, full of order and discipline.
After saying goodbye to his wife, who was still in the room, he rushed to the rooms of King Artesun and Queen Lunanis.
It didn't take much time to get there because Advos' room and the king's room were not too far away. This was intentional, considering how important the role and duties of advisers at court were.
Before actually leaving, Advos locked his bedroom door from the outside, using DNA technology from his hair. This would strengthen security to keep out intruders who wanted to enter.
The sound of the footprints was firm and also regular. Advos's hair fluttered gently in the dim light of the hallway he was passing. The dim light came from the rocks, which were placed in a glass case.
His shadow was elongated, almost like a sturdy and dangerous stick. His eyes, which seemed to be gray, now whirred sharply, until he finally found the two guards guarding the king's room.
"I am Advos, the royal advisor. I came because I wanted to deliver very important news." Advos grabbed a glass bottle containing a message from Hamdi, then waved it at the two guards of the king's room.
The two guards belonged to another race. Not an Elfagos, but a Drugor. Drugor was a semi creature, who had mixed blood. Drugors were practically like beasts, only bigger and more terrifying, and harder to communicate with.
Therefore it would be very difficult for anyone to enter the king's room because they had to make the Drugors understand what they wanted.
Advos took out a ring, in which several spells were inscribed. It was a spell made by the Drugor ancestor. That way Advos had given a signal that he was a friend.
"Please tell King Artesun that I have come to deliver the news."
Drugor had very sharp eyesight, but their memory was very poor. Drugor could barely remember a single face, so even though Advos saw them often, they still had a hard time recognizing Advos.
About ten meters high. The guard's body now swayed to enter the king's room, while the other guards waited with suspicious eyes.
Roars as well as chewing sounds were heard from within until it finally became quiet.
Not long after, King Artesun came. His still sleepy face didn't give off the aura of wisdom he had. Without further ado, he asked, "What news do you bring, Advos?"
Advos bent to give greet. The glass bottle he was holding had now turned into King Artesun's grip. "The message was sent by Hamdi, Your Majesty. There's news about Prince Aerus in it."
