It wasn't long until they arrived in the entertainment district
Unlike the other parts of the city that were like a protected bubble this was where the crime was concentrated. One could get caught up in various schemes, Will you be Consumer Or Prey? Robin smiled and the patrols have stayed unchanged. He put the map back into his pocket, Unlike others he loved this place. When it comes to Desires there's always a customer, Robin and Marlow walked right into their favorite bar. There was a magic sign outside that lit up the 'Dirty Simp' even though they were young, he found out long ago the drinking age became quite ambiguous with the right amount of coin .
"Old man give me a drink" the bartender stood there polishing a glass
The bartender already knew what he wanted as he produced a strawberry ale
Looking around, " it's quite empty today"
It was a bar that seemed shady but that was part of its charm
The bartender's eyes lit up "Unbelievable the Tourists just can't understand the charm of a Simp" the bartender may believe that from the bottom of his heart, Robin was already rubbing his head.
Marlow ordered a cake and a light beer, "he looked up " We could use some females here though" Marlow grabbed some napkins and proceed to try and "make it rain"
"Grom" the bartender looked up he seemed to already know what robin wanted to ask
"Grom hear any good rumors" Synth briefly went over some events and his concerns
Grom just nodded "Yes i've heard many complaints about the dai nothing too much of value But,
I hear there throwing a festival"
"A festival?"
"A celebration of there god"
Ah a festival That's something he put at the back of his mind. That explains the increase in commodities theres been alot of requests for various goods moving through the merchants networks.
Marlow interrupted "I Hope there's good food"
Robin sighed "Is food all you can think about?"
Marlow pondered "Yep"
"Your helpless"
Robin sipped on his booze and was deep in thought before the door burst open.
A Man sat and looked down at the city. He twirled a wine glass in his hand. "
"Why do I have to be sent for these matters?" A half crown was on his head but he emanated no feeling of grace, or kindness that you expect from a leader.
"But for the word of god is absolute '' the man seemed short of breath, " for me to doubt, I must be punished.
As the man grew Impatient he heard the squeaky creek of the Doors followed by the movement of the castle guards and officials. The man did not look amused, "30 min late is this the result of inexperience?"
The guards parted and a woman walked in. She was wearing a white gown with a floral crown, ``I serve the gods not you Aldon, Despite you being part of the Dai"
Should I be punished for doubt? What's the punishment for disrespect Death!?
!!!!
"Such ignorance" a guard rushed at Aldon in anger, grabbing him by the collar, but he collapsed and his body started to shrivel up like roots he started to turn into a tree "henry!!!" one of the guards tried to draw his sword .
"Stop don't needlessly shed your life's for me"
"You incursed existence"
Aldon looked offended "your sins keep piling" he sneered at her " i expected to take out a few more, This room needed more scenery
"I think that's enough"
Everyone in the room froze except Aldon who sat there expressionless drinking his wine.
A Shadow veil appeared in the Royal Sanctum and a boy stepped out and he had a small imp on his shoulder.
" I don't see why you were toying with them Aldon"
Ah roy" Aldon raised a glass in response
The imp on roy's shoulder jumped cheerful "there Frozen Weak~~" due to his passive skill he induced fear, " Nibble let me Nibble on them"
Ignoring him
"No matter this was part of the plan" Roy approached the Oracle
As the imp grew closer The fear started to radiate from her as she gathered the will to speak " How can you claim to be Servants of god-"
His expression quickenly darkened " Did i ever say That?" he started to pace " What is this entitlement, Labeling me and trying to impede on my Freedom of will" Roy really thought it was laughable.
It took all her willpower just to mumble those words and here he was preparing a dialog, The oracle who never had to deal with adversity felt outmatched. It was arrogant for her to not prepare for this. But when you are forced to be sheltered and hidden away like a object what do you truly know about the world?
She stood there glaring at them .
Roy knew what she wanted to say ,Evil will not prevail, praying the hero will arrive and we will not succeed. Is that the kind of story you're hoping for? how boring.
Roy Laughed maniacally " Everything is now within our grasp"
"Ost, can you do it"
The imp jumped "for souls! Me's can do it, especially ones that are suffering"
"Yes my friend" signaling the agreement magic sigils appeared on osts eyes
And magic circles started burning in the oracles body
She grimaced in pain as she felt something leaving her, she pondered on what could be the was the source of This feeling"
She felt her consciousness start to leave her inside her start to leave conflict with the force ,
Her body collapsed and there was no signs of life.
"With this we can proceed" The imp danced. He had a swirling mass in his hand he grabbed the struggling souls and he proceeded to juggle it in the air.
"Stop leave the oracle" the mass slowed down and Ost was visibly distraught "but the most tasty one.."
"Ill find you more" the imp jumped in response
The agreement has been made.
"Now Rise" sigils formed when Roy spoke and the queens body reanimated he waved his hand
He eyes looked dead
"Aldon handle things here"
Roy stepped away back into the shadows. With the Oracle
"Ah pile more work on me will you, hmm what to do First more wine" He cheerfully sipped away.
