First Duke who Reach the Semi divine level
After 2 days in the morning we reach the Rubail city..
Journey wasn't as comfortable as i thought it would be.
After reaching the city gate, we left the guard.
When i about to leave.
"Hello ..Ron."
Hearing someone is calling, I looked back and saw that the priest girl come towards me,,
"Thank you again for saving my life."
She give me prop[er bow, I don't know what to say.
"No its okay."
"Do inform me with this if you ever need healing mage."
She give me a blue crystal ,She told me with this is called communication stone. With this you can talk with each other.
I took it from her hand.
Then She left with the masked man. But I noticed that masked man looking at me ,time to time. I didn't think much about it.
Procedure is same I have to pay 100 gold which is one low grade spirit stone, fee is very expensive because its the main city of the Rubail duchy. Then I received the temporary residency card for 5 days .
After entering the city I become surprised by its size its 10 time size of Ziac city.
Everywhere i can see are mages because Rubail's duchy is specialize in magic as inkstone duchy.
And people are very powerful. Because I come across some people whose pressure is suffocating.
But i am not afraid that every one is powerful then me instead it motivated me to become strong. I'll definitely become stronger in future.
The main reason a weakling like me can walk bravely because murder is strictly forbidden inside the city guards are patrolling. And to become a guards you have to at least rank 6.
In the last 15 days i only ate some dry fruits and soup from the merchant so i went to a good restaurant order some special item from their menu. Lamb steak , beef stu , sweet sour mutton . For dessert i ordered tiramisu and ice-cream.
The food is quite delicious.
So, finishing all the food i gave a good tip to the attendant boy .
After inquiring i learned that the city divided as 4 district and Rubail duke family is in the center but Its restricted by the wall for common people.
Inside kingdom is another kingdom. he..
And I have to go the east merchant district it will take 4 hours by foot ,
After riding carriage for 15 days again I don't want to ride carriages, So i stared walk ehile looking at the city and enjoying its structure.
I reach the merchant district with ease due to increase of my physical strength.
Merchant district is quite crowdy because its like business hub that connects the whole kingdom with the Rubail duchy .
I have already verified my identity once at the east gate. I learn from the passing merchant about the location of teleport portal.
It didn't take me much time to find it because of the long line and a blue portal in a large open space.
After looking for some time I went to the guard,
"Hello sir. How can i use the portal?"
seeing my young handsome appearance he didn't rude with me but speaks patiently ,
"You can first go the counter to check your identity then infrom him about your destination. After that pay the bill .it wont take much time for this if everything is okay with you."
" Thank you sir."
Then as his instruction i went to the guard. He checked my identity again checked if i am bandit or bad people then call a knight i paid the bill with 2 mid grade mana stone . Then the knight took me towards the portal.
I stand in a line after 1 hour its my turn. I tell my destination then he done some changes in the portal and tell me to enter
the portal.
Its like a gate which is made of water. After i entered the portal lighten up.
It took me around 1 minutes to come in a different location .The sky is sunny unlike the previous cloudy.
My brain is quite shaken by the impact i put hand in my head. Its quite different from teleportation.
" Leave the portal for next person."
A knight told me quite angrily.
A hurriedly leave the portal.
It took me some time to come out of dizziness . Then i went to the local shop for inquiry .
I learn from the shopkeeper that structure of the every big city is same except The capital. I am quite surprise by this thing.
I just thought these people have no creativity.
Then without waiting i went towards the center of the city. The inkstone duke place.
And I also learned that i can only meet the guard captain .Its impossible for the commoner to meet a duke personally.
it took me one hour by foot. Its already noon.
I saw that a big gate with many curving in it>The dooor looks quite old and mysterious .Guards are patrolling 100 meters around the gate , I made a plan in my head how i should meet the duke.
but I am quite nervous inwardly. After calming my mind,
I went to the nearby guards.
"Sir Can i talk with the guards captain its very important ."
(I have already change my cloths after i left the portal,, because its even impossible to meet the guard captain with my previous shabby cloths and i want to meet the duke, they will beat me up like the 3rd rate protagonist)
He is displeased by my request. But seeing that my attire is quite expensive and handsome face. He didn't angry .I notice that he look at my face quite keenly. Then took me towards a man who is sitting outside the gate. He left me and went to the man and told him something. Then the man i think the captain look at my face some time and ask me to go in front of him.
The sitting man raises his head and looks at me. I become nervous under his gaze.
"Hello, sir. The Duke is an acquaintance of my parents. He told them that if they ever needed help, they could find him with this token."
I take out the pendant, which is covered with a cloth.
"The Duke told them that the token has to be shown to him personally. So, I request that you please take this token, show it to the Duke, and if the Duke remembers my parents, he will definitely meet me in person."
I pass the pendant to the Captain. After hearing my request, he takes the pendant from my hand but doesn't uncover the cloth. Seeing that, I sigh with relief. I know there are many falsehoods in my statement.
After pondering for some time, he looks at me.
"Okay, wait for me for some time."
"Thanks."
Then he goes inside the gate. I keep standing there with the guards. Although I know that Mom told me to find my maternal grandfather, who will definitely help me, I am quite nervous. Who knows how the relationship between my mom and grandfather is?
Inside the castle...
In the commander's room...
It's quite noisy. Because after the Guard Captain gave the token to the Commander, he became shocked by the Commander's reaction. Some time ago, after verifying the contents were safe, the Commander opened it. But when he looked at the dark red lion-shaped pendant, he stood up immediately and looked towards the Captain with fiery eyes.
"Xiabac, how old is the boy who gave you the pendant?"
"15 or 16, Guard Commander," the Captain replied confusedly.
"Okay, look after that boy. Don't be rude to him."
Then the Guard Commander rushes out of the room.
Then the Guard Commander rushes out of the room.
Inside the meeting hall of the Inkstone Duke's castle...
Today, apart from Royalties, the most powerful man in the Kingdom is sitting on the throne. His name is Mikail Inkstone. He is a tall man of 6 feet 2 inches, with black hair and red eyes. He looks like a 45-year-old man with a scholarly aura. He is wearing a black-red mage robe quite similar that Ron's mother left for him, with a golden lion logo on it. But his actual age is above 150.
Beside him stands his loyal butler, who is telling him the recent news of the Kingdom because he has been in seclusion for one year (hehe...).
Suddenly, the Guard Commander rushes inside and kneels in front of him.
"Rakasha, what's with this behavior?"
Albert is quite disturbed by the Guard Commander's sudden action.
"Sir, please forgive me for this rude action. The matter is urgent."
The Duke looks towards him.
"Okay, what happened?"
Then the Commander takes out the pendant, which is covered in cloth. Albert comes towards Rakasha and takes the item, giving it to the Duke. When the Duke uncovers the item and looks at it, his mind goes blank. A pressure spreads from his body. Unknowingly, all the residents of the castle kneel down (Conqueror's Haki). An earthquake happens all over the city. That day, Inkstone City residents learned that Duke Inkstone had stepped into the Semi-Divine rank. He is the fastest Semi-Divine rank fighter in the Duke's house.
After some time, the Duke comes to his senses and controls the pressure that is emitting from him. Then Albert sighs with relief. But when he sees the pendant, he also becomes astonished. Because he knows whose pendant it is and what it represents, he becomes emotional.
"Where did you get this pendant?" the Duke asks with a hoarse voice.
The Commander also sighs with relief and tells the Duke what he heard from the Guard Captain. After hearing all about that, the Duke stands up immediately and asks impatiently,
"Where is that boy right now?"
"Sir, I heard that he is standing outside the gate."
After saying that, Rakasha looks at him, but the Duke has already disappeared from that place. He also knows that it is the pendant of the young miss.
