"What do you think, Nocrazanza?"
In the eastern part, there were two people standing who were looking at the magic ball. They just had a vision that crossed the elves' special barrier.
"Hmm… I'm not so sure either. However, from the aura he gives off there's no mistaking him as a being that will destroy everything!"
"Should I just face him straight away?"
"No, if you do that the Scaevola Kingdom will probably make a move, they already have the protection of the heavens from the heroes!"
"Huh… do you think I would be afraid of that?" That man was named Aleister, he was the best knight the Shui Kingdom had and he was also a prince. Intelligent and cold minded are his characteristics.
"Prince Aleister, you should know that right now the kingdom is in need of more observation and information, the Demon King's side and the Scaevola Kingdom will become a big problem if not handled carefully!"
"I know about it, but are we going to let such a dangerous creature into the kingdom's territory?"
"Don't be rash, they just came in and brought some elves. Maybe he wants to escort the three elves back to their dwellings!"
"Alright, I'll comply with your wish!" Aleister rolled his eyes.
***
Arzlan must cover his head with a hoodie, the people around him are elves. They looked happy, laughter and jokes adorned the whole town.
"So this is how elves live, not too far from the average human! I wonder what kind of kingdom in this region is, should I investigate all that?" Arzlan looked at Alisha's face.
Uh? What's wrong?"
Arzlan turned his face away. "No, right now my priority is to get the three of them back to where they came from. I have to do that before the royals notice my presence!"
Even though it had been a long walk, it was impossible for them to get out of the town. They have to stay overnight and wait for tomorrow to continue their journey, Arzlan also thinks about the condition of the four women. In the forest it might be more dangerous it might just be a bother for him.
Two rooms have been prepared, Arzlan asks for separate rooms. He prefers to be alone than having to share a room with other people.
From the window Arzlan saw the view of the town, a very bustling town was now quiet under the moonlight combined with the dark night.
"Hmm… I wonder, who exactly was that person? He has quite terrifying strength and is greater than most people!"
That night she was staring at the fire that was blazing, one sweet potato she had burned in it.
"Today nothing has changed, I must quickly give this sword to one of the heroes who has true strength! I believe that of the four summoned heroes, one of them must have the power to wield this sword!"
The sword on her back was white-handled, a thick white cloth covering the sword. When she saw Arzlan's figure that sword gave off a great vibration that could only be felt by her, Lucie.
The night has faded, now is the time for them to resume their journey. The sun that has not yet risen is the best time to step back.
Everyone was filled with renewed spirit, indeed the memory of the events of the goblin's actions could not be erased, but it was not an option to stare at the world with anger. Fate can still give a new light of life.
"Actually, how long will it take for us to reach your local location?" asked Arzlan, it felt very boring if just have to keep escorting the three women. He was still tied to his main goal.
"Soon we'll find a town, that's where I received the quest. After that we will split up there!" explained Tina with enthusiasm.
"Alright then, let's hurry to the town!"
After several hours passed, they finally found the city Tina was referring to, a town that had more magnificent buildings than before, all very clearly visible from a distance.
However, before entering the town they were intercepted by a group of people wearing horses, their clothes were covered in armor that told them they were royal soldiers.
One man in the middle of his army was staring intently at them, his gaze was only on one person, namely Arzlan.
The man stepped forward and said, "Who are you guys?"
"We are adventurers from the Shui Kingdom, we have been saved by them from the captivity of the goblins!"
Aleister's eyes narrowed slightly. "Goblins you say!"
"Yes, I am Tina who is an adventurer, I took a quest to take the elves kidnapped by the goblins in their village. At first there were three people who were kidnapped, but the mental stress from the torture caused her to die!"
"Are your words trustworthy?"
"Uh? I'm really telling the truth, I can't lie!"
The atmosphere became silent, Aleister and Tina's eyes stared intently at each other. They have been prepared for the unexpected.
"Alright, we will allow the three of you to return to the towns and villages, but you two are foreigners who have entered the territory of the Shui Kingdom without permission!"
Tina was shocked to hear those words. "S-Sir since when did such a rule exist?"
"Since the Scaevola side continued to stir up trouble, all borders have been closed. If anyone violates then they will be arrested right away!"
Arzlan narrowed his eyes.
"You two will be caught and thrown in jail! Soldiers hurry up to capture the two of them!"
"Okay!"
Two hussars tied Arzlan and Alisha's hands very roughly, they were then taken.
Aleister thought there would be a fight, but nothing happened. As they passed each other, Arzlan's eyes were glaring very sharply at him.
Aleister felt a violent surge of anger, his chest beating very fast. "What the hell is he, he looks like he's trying to pounce on me!"
Arzlan and Alisha were taken by horse carriage.
A white palace full of splendor was seen, they were led into the courtyard. However, they did not come as guests of honor but as prisoners.
They are put in a prison which is quite dark and dirty. Arzlan and Alisha's bodies were pushed by the soldiers very roughly.
Aleister faced his father named King Ariesta.
"Father, I have returned with two intruders who entered the kingdom's territory!"
"Why did you catch them?"
"They have infiltrated the elven territory under the pretext of delivering three elven residents from the kingdom's territory!"
"Are you sure that they are intruders?"
"That's right, one of them is a human with terrifying powers!"
"W-Human you say!" King Ariesta glared in shock at what he had just heard.
"Right!"
