Raman Clain the new master of the word sought treasure.
Entering the room, Raman felt a soothing breeze of wind that could calm one soul. The place held a pleasing scent like that of mixed flower scents to give off a touching sensation.
However, aside from the middle stone in the room, the large room was empty and held nothing like a good build house could hold. In fact, this room was twice if not thrice their whole house in Almain yet it only held a small stone table in the middle and that is all.
What a waste! All this land here is being wasted with only this small stone table in it.
If he were to find the stone in his home place, he would in no way raise it to be small. In fact, the stone table could take up three-quarters of their sitting room. The only reason to phrase it small was to be its location as the room was terribly huge.
Bracing himself, he walked further to the stone table but his spirit was off now. To think he had to come all this way just to see a stone table.
Even in his deprived state, he still walked to the stone table only to see a bronze tiny ring that could in no way fit his fingers. Was it even ever worn by a human before or made for babies?
The other item was only a necklace whose head was only a blob. The necklace was nowhere pleasing to wear least mention of the ring.
The necklace's chilling borne-like blob was a thing worse mentioning as a treasure least the rusted ring to match the said myth.
To think the said world treasure was the two items before him, only God knows what is housed inside them.
However, recalling the saying of never to judge a book by its cover and the words old Ai mentioned, he braced himself and held the borne chilling blob necklace.
Even his proved suspicions that he held at first came swimming in and this time far worse than before. It was now clear that the necklace was this dumb.
At first, he thought it being a sought treasure, the borne chilling blob would shine at once on touch, or say create a path where he could enter and retrieve the desired treasure only to fall in negative one hundred percent decree of cold water, the worst taste for one whose appetite was raised to have a meal but given something worse.
With complete reactance, Raman put on the necklace and the moment the borne chilling blob made contact with his body, a chill swept his body fully from head to toes.
With the simple sweep, his mind calmed down in an instant, his body went in for tremendous change that he was never in expectation.
With the chill passing through his body, his tissues or nerves were given a clear boost to hold enough energy in those split seconds.
His skin toughened more like he had just worn a superior grade armor yet it still felt smooth on touch, was that even normal.
And just as it came, the chill disappeared with out a trace in the room not to mention his body.
Going forward, he held the baby like bronze ring that felt rusty. To think this ring did rust even when in this huge closed room, in his line of thoughts, he failed to notice that the ring had enlarged to fit his fingers such that he could wear it. To think a mere magic tool like it could think by itself, he looked impressed the moment he looked to see that it had enlarged.
Though the two signs were not that phenomenon to let him accept the said tale, he still felt much better now as he held them in hand. He might just hold better encounters in the near future just like those guys he did read from the novels as he had still benefited from this encounter of his.
Turning out of the room, the door closed and disappeared at once leaving only what one could call a wall. To see the room you just left closing out and disappear from sight was no simple sight to keep Raman at calm.
Just then, old Ai's, voice becomes him back to life only to see the man still in his previous sitting posture.
The burden of holding that treasure is far beyond what you can think of at the moment so you will need to calm down and always think for the right decision.
You may leave now, but remember, keep it with your whole life and let it be a top tier secret throughout your life's journey...
Faning ignorance, he looked at the old man as of to get an explanation from him yet he only remained silent to this.
What could he say when he himself knows nothing about the two items in the first place To put it clear, only his master knew what the two items were, his only work was to protect it from the evil eyes of the world that sought it out.
Seeing the helpless look in the young lad's eyes, he held out three pouches of different colors and gave them the Raman.
Open them in the worst dire situation when you think you cannot go on with what is before you. Do start from the white, blue then close with the red pouch.
And just like that, old Ai sent him off at once. It was like he wasn't the previous chumky old feller he met who always held a pleased character but since he was told to go, he had to heed old Ai's orders and just like that he left returning to the outside world.
The moment he woke up, he was greeted with many eyes that were now wide open like soucers as though they had just seen something that was far to be expected in this world.
***
Just as the group of four had laid down, the caravan walked ahead at a more quicker speed now, they were heading home at a steady fast speed that the caravan had never done before.
Though the clueless of what was in place were piqued of this matter, it didn't take long for them to come to a realization. After all, their young master was to have his birthday three days from now. He should be moving quickly for this as it's a once in a year's hold, how could he miss it anyway and moreover his sworn brother showed up just to head with them home. This must be real fate to keep a sight of him.
This was the sole reason as to why they dared to air out their discontentement over this matter and they decided to rush as their manager intended.
Just as they were on the rush, a block ahead came to their sight. The iron army was in place ahead and their number was vast. It was clear that they did not want to miss this chance in attaining their Pope's intended desire.
Although many were green about the said mission, they never aired this out as it was the supreme law of the iron army. Being in possession of many advanced magic weapons, the army was not something they could mess with.
Just then, the caravan arrived at a stop from the command of the it iron army officer. Despite his lowly rank, he was always respected the moment he was in his uniform and no one in the whole kingdom dared defy his order. That was the fame the iron army held in the kingdom.
Manager Byrum called to his attendant and instructed him on what to do. It was clear that he was frightened at the sight of this huge army. It was twice their number in total and if things went amiss, they would be buried here and now.
However, being an experienced man who has moved the whole kingdom at most, his knowledge and connections were not to be messed with. Even his father was acquainted with their general so he had nothing to fear anyway.
His assistant went to clarify the matter. with the officer in charge and in no time, some one came the carriage's way to confirm with what was stated.
While he was a few steps from reaching the carriage, an awkward phenomenon took place.
The whole sky shook with strong bearing thunder that was nowhere known to the current folks, robust lightning condensed and struck the carriage that manager Byrum was in, seeing this, the officer scampered at once before letting the caravan continue its way.
That was a son to his general and if he was to get hurt from here, he was to blame. Who knew he were to loose his head for this reason? For his own safety, he would never mention this to anyone, not even their general. Since his colleagues never had a tinge of what was going on, he was free to lie here after all it was his life at stake.
After the group left the sight of the Iron army, the assistant rushed to the carriage to check on his master. With the might of that lighting strike, his heart was worried but on opening the carriage captains, his mouth remained agape.
