The horses galloped forward . Oh hiw far we have progressed . At the start we used to travel by foot then a small cart driven by a bull and now a cart with horses .
Travelling was once filled with fatigue and the statement ' How much left ' . And now even though the fatigue is gone those words still remain .
It took us 7 days to travel to the border of the barrier. The barrier looked like a very giant emerald green dome which spanned over 3 km in each direction .
I got off from my carriage and touched the barrier at first I was hesitant that it will do something if I touch it . I touched the barrier and my body reacted as something had happened and I jerked myself backwards even though nothing had happened . When McElroy touched the barrier he was completely fine .
He even knocked on the barrier and it made noises of glass . And now it is time to break the barrier .
Method 1 : Brute force .
Both of us grabbed a hammer a war Hammer and striked the glass at maximum power but still it remain unhinged.
FAILED .
METHOD : 2 : Magic .
It was like glass because you could still see your face as well as what is inside .
I got two steps behind and blasted it with extreme heat . Barrier was unhinged. We even inserted a synthesized metal drill and drill it with extreme speed result unhinged .
FAILURE .
METHOD: 3 : Think out of the box.
We dug a tunnel and got inside . The barrier only covered the surface not the underground.
Pass .
The kingdom of Chroma had a simple scheme for setting up its structure . Fields outside and other thing on the inside . We entered during the mid-day so the sun was harsh even with the dome . Thus the farmers had gone to eat lunch . And this was the perfect chance to sneak in .
The kingdom had white walls guarding it . And the gate guarded by 2 guards . While the rest of the area remained empty .
We reached the gate after walking and before the guards. " Halt ! . Show your identification and state the reason of your visit " .
We are very obedient citizens . So we showed them pur identification and they started to laugh . If you wanted to sneak in atleast you should have tried to create real ID.
Now we have to arrest you . For false identification.
We looked at each other And sighed at each other . And knocked both of them and snuck inside
Inside the gate was a flash of colours . All the colours and different shades could be seen on a single street . Everywhere we go it seemed like a busy streets and them how were we supposed to find the crystal.
Step 1 : Go to the market .
After lots of local interactions and the locals seeing us in weird eyes . We finally reached the market . We started the search but the ground was too big for us to cover all alone . Even when we split up . We still had 0 clue .
FAILURE .
STEP 2 : Go to an auction .
There were no auctions here . For unknown reasons even there are no underground ones .
Failure .
Step 3 : Go to a bar .
We went to a bar and ordered a glass full of ale . We were quenched from the constant search I'm this big kingdom . I asked the bartender.
You know some place where they sell shiny object .
" Hoooh what are you gentlemen interested in " .
Something good like an accessory but useful for hunters .
" Nah we don gotta any thing like tat " .
As we stepped outside the bar . There was one small girl around 10 years old waiting for us outside the bar . She ask us to follow her without asking any questions.
When we declined she decided to cry .
Ok ok lead the way . We'll go wherever you lead us .
The small and sweet girl lead us into a dark alley . Where her expressions quickly changed .
Are you from outside these were the only words uttered from her mouth and then assasins jumped on us and pinned us down .
