Beep! Beep! Beep!
The alarm went on and the noise sounded around. Leon could hear Mint's voice teasingly laugh at the watch while it was still ringing, Leon is thinking if he will turn to a sprint away from the store but then he heard some footstep coming from the inside. That's when he shifted his gaze inside the store. Leon couldn't distinguish what he will react at the moment, the vast difference of the interior from exterior is making him speechless.
A man with great posture despite his age with pair of clothes that looks presentable unlike the people he had seen so far. His hair was well pomade and a tie with a plain color. The stark gray with white striking shine makes him look reliably...handsome.
"Welcome oh our esteemed guest! We have been waiting for your arrival after we get notification of your coming. The items you told us were all available and had been packed with all care and good. I don't mea
"Aren't you going to call the guards and make me go through beating for the sin of bumping someone from the hierarchy!?" Upon hearing what the man said, Leon looked around and was surprised to see that everyone was looking at them now. Leon retracted his hands and went a few step back before clearing his throat that made the man he bumped with focus his attention to him. Leon started as calm as possible and he could clearly see the wariness in the eyes of the man. He thought,if all of us are old then it is good to say that we are the same man and woman and there is no age differences here now right? I probably should do that. Right. Right. "I am not that harsh to do that by just simply bumping but if you insist on going I will grant your wish. Is that what you want?" Leon forgots the gravity of not being seen inside his robe and the man talking to him started to tremble from fear. He went down
The chirping of birds made Leon's head to calm down. He was invited at the stool behind the stall counter where the vendor is standing."Here sir, this will help you soothe the heat.""Thanks." Leon accepted a small bottle and uncap the lid. A strong strawberry scent entered his nostrils and immediately made him drink the content.10 seconds...15 seconds...30 seconds...Leon was wondering why the bottle is not getting empty. Minutes had passed and Leon was catching his breath while looking at the bottle."1000mL. Best served with ice." He immediately turn to give a look to the vendor getting himself busy assisting a customer that is evidently getting irritated by his over meddling to his stuff.Leon waited until the customer went away. His eyes were dazzled from the holographic effects and so
"We will be on our way then. Make sure that your people know not to stray too much at the city or we have to unnecessary see each other when we don't need to." Retreating footsteps made Leon heave a sigh before he rest his back on the wall of the house. He didn't notice the people that were looking at him and he doesn't really care. The door opens and the people that were looking at Leon disperse and went to the person that entered. "Are you alright chief? Did the guard harmed you or anything? Are you really alright?" Leon watches as a woman checks every part of the woman's body. In her wrinkled face Leon still could read the discomfort from the other's over worriness. "You can give her a breather...if you just want." Leon blurted out that made the people look at him simultaneously while one blade went into his neck. Leon whistled. "You are cheeky for
Rosario with trembling hands reaches out towards Leon that is on bended body and picking up the cloth of the most valuable thing they have seen after they live this long."W...why....you..." She couldn't fix a sentence nor say something to this sir. But Leon couldn't care less and just go on doing his thing.The mineral Mithrilin is surely hard and difficult to break. It is use to make weapons and armors imbued with a clash resistance magic. Doing so, it become indestructible and the most sturdy equipment but Leon know a fatal flaw of this mineral. True to what every creatures said, it is indeed indestructible but if you change the temperature of this mineral simultaneously, the mineral will crumble to pieces. He remembered when a blacksmith of the dwarven, a monster nation specializes in creating things. They are the main source of the Mithrilin goods and monopolizing as that.To the present, Leon pass the m
Leon didn't respond and that made Rosario thinks that he might have forgotten such thing. She then decided to continue on explaining which greatly helps Leon. "The lower ranks that had been seen as the lowliest and people who doesn't have the privilege of the watch has no rights to use the currency they are using. This mineral, Mithril is the one that had been specifically use by people like us. Because this mineral is their staple need to fuel the watch that they love so much. It was high in the market but by using us, the lower rank people that has no choice if we are being used too much with only a little in return. We...are tired of not filling our stomachs. We..." A small sob makes Leon remember that even though they are passed their age, all wrinkly and bony, they still have emotions and feelings that can get hurt or feel pain. Leon gave Rosario time to calm down and when she finally came back to her senses, she bowed her hea
There is an uproar after the dishes had been served. Most of the people can't put their plate and bowl down. Some forgot to drink water and was pounding their chest hard so for air to flow in their lungs. It has been a long time since they have a taste of this ancient cooking. They couldn't care less if the ingredients aren't in the best qualities but the end result is what matters and that their stomachs were asking for more. The line that had been kept Leon captive is increasingly stretch and seeing the exhausted smile hanging on Leon's face, Rosario took over of the work and let Leon rest."Are you tired? Want to get some rest?" Mint from the watch said but Leon remained silent. He had been thinking since earlier. That is why he doesn't mind the increasing line in front of him and just continue to serve them with his food. He didn't notice the change in personnel beside him which is doing the same thing as his. Leon prepared a feast for everyone and whe
"Sir! It was good to see you today too!" "What a good day sir! You are very energetic here too!" "Oh my! The diligence of yours don't change sir!" "Can you please lower down your voices please? It is attracting too much attention..." His voice has no strength at all and the embarrassment for the passed days that they've been into the camp of the low. Leon had been fixing the small damages around the camp and the people were truly grateful of his conduct. They are curious as to where he is getting all the energy that he has been exerting since the day he offered help. There is nothing much of a problem in the camp. Just small quarrel about who is the first one to attend the mass or call of the leader or who is the first one to get up and change the fire that had kept them warm during the cold nights. They did well to solve the problem of hypothermia by having no warmer or heater av
『WARNING! AN OUTSIDE POWER IS ATTACKING THE HOST!! COMMENCING AUTO DEFENSE UNLOCK!』『UNLOCK FAILED! ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT...』『ATTEMPT FAILED! LOOKING FOR OTHER WAYS. PLEASE WAIT...』"CAN YOU DO IT MORE FASTER!!! UGH!" Leon is currently being suppressed by the high voltage coming from the watch. It was not just simple as a current but a big one that made him immobile, the great devourer that had been hailed and feared by many. The bombs are spreading blood to the ground and the screams of the people are making Leon feel useless."This thing...this hateful AI...." Leon had never taken anyone back here in the Earthex as a threat to him but since this thing, not to mention not actually a person is able to stop him, someone being feared by most of the monster inside the gate. Leon couldn't accept the humiliation."System, if you valu
