Not long after, Mansa turned his head and looked at a tree five meters away from them.
"It's no use hiding behind the tree...I can still see you."
Mansa was surprised to see a figure coming out from behind the tree. Cindy, who saw the small child, immediately approached him.
"What you doing here? Where the others?” Cindy reprimanded the child.
“You know him?” Mansa wanted to make sure that the two women they were helping knew the child.
"We know him," Cindy told Mansa the truth.
“Your name is Una, right? Are you an immigrant from another kingdom?” Erick is still very curious about Una, who is similar to Nia.
“I come from the village of Filn, and migrated to the city of Norf to become an adventurer,” Una told Erick.
"But, isn't Nia Aghture one of the people who disappeared?" Sara became curious about Erick's words.
“That's right, seeing Una caught a glimpse of Nia.”
They were surprised by a group of merchants, Cindy told them that she and Una were carrying out a request as bodyguards by the merchant.
Grit, the group of heroes, Una, Cindy, and the three small children rested in the village for three hours.
"This is payment for the two of you..." Grit handed a bag filled with coins as payment.
"Thank you, Mr. Grit," Una accepted it and was very happy.
"Okay...we have to continue our journey so that at the end of the afternoon we arrive at the city of Yuma."
Grit and his workers continued their journey without an escort because the route they were on was safe from threats.
"Then, we should also go back, thank you for letting us earlier." One of the children gave Cindy and the three of them immediately left.
“Hero, what is it? Why are you looking at those three children?” Erick was curious about Mansa, who suddenly seemed suspicious of the child.
“I just—“
"Is it true?!" Sara was surprised by the words of Cindy and Una, who accepted Nita and Sara's invitation to go to Norf city together.
Without wasting any time, they all agreed to go straight to the city of Norf. When they arrived at the city, the residents seemed to have been waiting for the arrival of the hero and his group.
“The plan to hinder them is progressing smoothly.”
"It's not in vain that when we got here we immediately informed them about this."
“I don't want to do it anymore…”
Vail, Rii, and Cini were very sweaty and also very tired, due to running non-stop from South Village to Norf City.
They did because Rii suspected, that the hero would immediately notice them if they used magic.
"It can't be helped... the hero is always watching us non-stop." Cini's voice was so heavy.
The doorbell sounds...
“Eli, we're back.” Una opened the guild door, but she didn't find Elia.
"She's not here..." With a heavy breath, Cini told Una.
“Why are you guys so tired?” Cindy wondered what made them so tired.
“We just defeated the monsters near the Laindorf River,” Rii told the two of them.
"Miss Cindy, do you know them?" Erick was curious.
"They are the people I talked about on the trip..." Cindy reminded and told Erick again.
“From the looks of it and from the stories you told, they seem tough.” Nita assesses Rii, Cini, and Vail from her perspective.
“We don't know what the friend said— ” Cini stopped talking, because the hero looked at him with the same gaze as before.
“Hero, don't stare at someone we just met like that,” Erick asked Mansa not to bother Cini, Rii, and Vail.
“I'm sorry, it's just…I feel like we've met before.”
"What do you say? We just met now.” Rii tried to remain as hidden as possible.
“Enough, hero...don't make a small problem a big one. Our goal here is just to stop by for a while." Nita intervened and reminded them of their purpose again.
"Your goal?"
“Our real goal—”
The sound of the doorbell rang again.
“Rii, Cini, Vail…I brought recovery potions--”
"Brother?!"
Elia was surprised to see Erick in this city, especially with his new friend. Thanks to that, Rii, Cini, and Vail felt like they had been helped by Elia for the second time.
“Long time no see, Elia.” Erick was happy to see that his younger brother was healthy.
“Elia, this person is your brother?” Cindy wanted to confirm this.
"Not by blood, I consider Erick an older brother because he was the oldest when we were in the same orphanage," Elia told Cindy that Erick and Elia were in the same orphanage.
"I thought you were the only child of the guild master..." Cini just realized this.
“The guild master is the one who nurtured and gave new names to the two of us.” Erick further told them all not to misunderstand.
“Elia, what is guild master here?” Erick wanted to greet his adoptive father.
"The guild master in his room," Elia told Erick.
“I almost forgot…”
“Elia, they are my new friends. Mr hero is called Mansa from another world. Then these two women are Nita and Sara, they are adventurers and they are both sisters."
After Erick introduced them to Elia. He also introduced Elia to Nita, Sara, and Mansa.
"Ha-ha-ha..."
In the middle of the conversation, a familiar voice began to be heard from Erick's ears from the stairs.
“Long time no see, guild master…or do I need to call you father?” Erick was very happy to see his adoptive father, who was still healthy even though he was so old.
“You still haven't changed from last time, Erick.”
“Guild master, he is hero Mansa.”
“Hero, he is the guild master of this city called Eblo. And he is my adoptive father.”
Erick introduced the two of them to each other, Eblo
“Regarding the hero's arrival, we guild masters already know about it. But it was unexpected that the person who became a hero was still so young, and the same age as Elia.” Eblo or Guild master praises the hero.
“I welcome you all, come up to my room…we will have a drink together.” Eblo invites the hero and his group to enjoy wine together.
“You can come too…”
"We're glad you invited us, but we don't drink wine..."
Not only Vail but also Cini and Rii refused Eblo's invitation to drink. The others went with Eblo to his room to discuss the past and turned their meeting into a father-and-son reunion.
"It's a shame, the three of them don't want to come..." Erick, who was already drunk, started to say what was on his mind.
"Even though wine is the best drink."
"Haa...he was already drunk, even though he only had one sip." Elia regrets her older brother who gets drunk easily.
"Cindy...Una, why do you only drink juice?" Sara was so curious.
“Vail asked us not to consume wine, he said it was for health,” Cindy told Sara.
"How could wine be destructive? If it was destructive, wine would have been banned a long time ago..." Erick, who was so drunk, responded to Cindy's words.
"Do you know the reason?" Nita was curious about Cindy's words.
"Vail said that wine contains ethanol or something he calls alcohol..." Cindy told Nita.
"What is alcohol?" Eblo was curious about the name which sounded foreign to his ears.
“If I'm not mistaken, Rii said. Alcohol is an organic chemical compound that has hydro, I forgot—"
“Hydroxyl or minus OH is attached to a carbon atom, and can be found in intoxicating drinks.”
They were impressed that Mansa knew this, and Eblo praised the hero's intelligence.
“The three of them said that to you?” Mansa wanted to confirm what he already suspected.
Mansa looked at Una, he realized. If Una could be the Nia Aghture that Erick told him about.
Mansa goes out looking for Vail, Rii, and Cini to ask them for clarity...
“For now, think of a way to avoid his suspicion.” Vail proposed a suggestion to Rii and Cini.
"Like--"
“It turns out I was right…”
They are surprised the hero was behind and caught them.
“What do you want a hero?” Rii tries to negotiate.
“Why are you hiding instead of helping?” Mansa says all his annoyance, and restrains himself from getting angry.
“What makes you so sure? We are called people?” Cini tried to make sure.
"Cindy and Una were the ones who said this, prohibiting you from drinking alcohol," Mansa tells him.
"People from this world don't know what alcohol is and its explanation, but Una and Cindy know that and that's from you."
"Then, is it true...Una is Nia Aghture?"
Mansa let out everything in his head, and his last words asked them for clarity to tell whether Nia was still alive, and whether it was Una.
Cini said that if what he said was true, Una was indeed Nia Aghture...
“What kind of people are you? As a result of your actions, thousands of lives are lost every day. Villages and farms, and other things were destroyed by the demon army."
"Are you only thinking about your interests and safety?!"
Mansa is disappointed and angry with the three of them, who do not have a sense of responsibility towards the world.
They were just left behind, because for now Mansa was disgusted by the three of them.
"Morning, you two..." Nita and her sister went downstairs to eat.
"Morning, Nita, Sarah."
"Did you sleep comfortably last night?" Una was so worried, because he was the one who offered to sleep in the same inn as her.
“So comfortable, I didn't realize was sleeping so soundly.” Sara expressed her satisfaction.
“You guys, can you not embarrass me?” Erick complained about Sara being outspoken.
"How— " Una stopped talking, because she saw Mansa sitting thinking about something.
"What happened to the hero?" Cindy and the others were so curious.
"I don't know the reason myself either..." Erick, who had seen the hero, seemed to be contemplating himself since last night and didn't know the reason.
"Are the three of them still not awake?" Sara was so curious.
"Impossible, expecting the three of them to wake up this early," Una tells them that they never wake up early.
After Una said that, Rii, Vail, and Cini went downstairs and seemed to want to leave. Una asks where they are going, Vail tells her that they have already taken Ronet's request to help.
On the other hand...in a Union. All the kings gathered got the message that King Ligt was asking for help in large numbers.
“We can't send troops in large numbers, the last defense has already lost many fighters.” One of the kings among kings rejected this. “I agree with king Mitlen.” He agreed with Mitlen's words. “For me, this is a sacrifice that must be made….” “Cluster King, what do you mean by sacrificing the Vorz kingdom's Territory?” one of the other kings was also curious. “I'll say it openly, I don't like the king of the Vorz kingdom after his predecessor.” King Cluster hates king Ligt, because he is still so young and considered naïve. "Aren't you the same ? King Aries, king Nollant, king Cortase, king Mand.” King Cluster tries to guess the dislike of all the kings in the Union. "What's the benefit?" King Mand was very interested in Cluster's words. “The competition for imperial positions, where everyone initially took sides and asked King Ligt to become emperor will be wiped out.” King Cluster showed his hands, and clenched them into fists as he said annihilation. “If you mind, you can se
The three of them, accept the invitation to join Mansa's party. "Then, when are we going?" Cini was curious. "We will set off in the morning," Mansa tells them. “Mansa, can you come with us? We have something to show you." They taking Mansa into the forest, after feeling quite far from the settlement. Vail and Cini set up a barrier. Mansa saw Rii open a very mysterious circle. “How did you guys catch the demon king!” Mansa's surprise, the demon king came out of a black hole that Rii created. “To think we meet again, hero.” The demon king was so arrogant. “Then, have you changed your mind? Regarding my--” The demon king stopped what he was saying and looked up at a direction in the sky. "Why are you silent and looking that way?" Mansa is curious about Neii's actions. "I feel a new awakening from that direction," The demon king said what he felt. "Awakening!?" Mansa is shocked to hear that. "Do you want to ask him something, Mansa?" Cini offers Mansa to get information. “Why
Time and everyone returned to normal, no one knew what happened apart from Ligt and Vail. The next day, after king Ligt felt his doubts had disappeared over the conversation he had with Vail. All residents of Gerna are asked to gather… “Why am I not confident right now?” King Ligt was awkward and didn't know what he would do in front of his people's eyes. “King Ligt, Vail told me. And I will help you, let's make this world peaceful.” Mansa offers his help, because he also wants a peaceful world without inter-racial conflict. Everyone wondered why they had been asked to gather, but the noise they had caused slowly quieted down with the arrival of their king. “I know you're all asking what happened…” “Please all of you listen to these words and statements.” Everyone was so confused by Ligt's words, which they knew. Their masked king will forcefully employ the human race. “Do you still accept me as your king? Are you still willing to be with a king who betrayed you?" King Ligt's
The woman took them to her house, where Rii, Cini, and Vail saw a twelve-year-old child lying seriously ill. "Hold on, my child..." the woman held her child's hand. "How is Rii? Do you know the disease?” Cini wants to know because Rii has finished analyzing the child using him magic. "This child has leprosy or Leprosy..." Rii informed. “Can you cure it, Rii?” Vail was so worried that the child would not be saved. "It's easy for me, it's just...this disease can be contagious." “I will purify her.” Vail understood what Rii meant. "Then I will anticipate in this house." Cini understood what Rii said. The three of them performed purification or cleansing after Vail finished casting recovery magic. The woman saw a small circle on her child's forehead. The child's breathing began to become regular, as did the wounds on his body. Everything recovered so quickly. "How can I repay your kindness?" The woman wanted to return the favor of saving her son. "There's no need to think about
Providing proof of completion for each request made is mandatory to avoid forgery. The guild gives a badge, to request maker give the person who will receive the request as a sign of service, or that the request has been completed. And adventurers are required to show the badge given by the request maker, the badge is only valid for requests outside of exterminating wild animals or monsters. Because they can carry the teeth, eyes, or hearts of the creatures they kill. "I heard that Rii, Vail, and Cini were given a house by the king in that kingdom." Sara brought up the letter the guild received three days ago. "I'm also confused myself, the three of them can only complain every time they finish carrying out requests to exterminate monsters." Una only brought up the complaints she heard from the three of them. The sound of the guild doorbell opening, someone who came from nowhere called Elia's name. "Is there anything I can help?" Elia answered the man's words. "My name is Riki,
Una saw that her hands and feet initially had a few lacerations, which had now disappeared when she drank the potion. "The wounds I've gotten, all healed..." Una was amazed to see that, there was a potion that could heal quickly. "What is it?" Una looked at Vail as if he was talking to someone. “Can you all drink it?” Vail asked everyone to quickly drink the potion. “Vail, is there any problem?” Mansa wants to know the meaning of Vail's words. "The soldiers led by Mr. Delgram are in a desperate situation, and the demon army is heading towards this city," Vail told Mansa. Hearing that, Mansa immediately rushed to where Delgram was. Erick, Nita, and Sara, who were Mansa's group, immediately drank it and ran after Mansa. All the adventurers drank it, and immediately ran to the front lines… "Look! Look how cute they all are…” The demon king mocked the adventurers who ran to join the hero. “They are very annoying.” “Everyone run!” Elia shouted, saw the demon king throw a fireball
Knock. Knock. Knock. “It seems like the two of them have arrived…” “Come in.” After getting permission from the king, Cini and Rii came in and joined the talks, and told Mansa the steps he had taken. “I didn't think it would be that difficult fighting two demon kings.” King Ligt was so impressed with Rii and Cini. “Before leaving, the hero left his words of gratitude. Because you have given the potion.” Rii told Mansa's words to King Ligt. "Then king, what about the revenge plan?" Vail said so openly without the slightest hesitation, King Ligt was surprised that Vail spoke so casually. "For now, I will focus on the problems within my kingdom first, after all the problems have been resolved. Only the day will come for my revenge for their betrayal." After King Ligt declared the day of retribution for his betrayal, the window glass was cracked. "If you need help, we will help." Rii offered King Ligt his help, if the king wanted it. “I will save your help for the time.” King Ligt
The sound of the door was heard. "I'm home, mother..." “Uh, Vail? Where is Zein?" Julian didn't see Zein come back with Vail. "Isn't Zein with the two of them?" Vail told his adoptive mother to remind her that Zein was with Rii and Cini. “How you Vail, didn't say you would be at the royal palace after finishing things.” Cini scolds Vail for acting relaxed. "I'll be back, Mother," Vail, who realized this, immediately rushed to the palace to pick up Zein. "Zein is a stranger to the palace, how can he be accepted inside?" Vail said this in his heart. “Vail!” Hearing Rii's voice, he immediately stopped and looked behind. Rii and Cini succeeded in following their adoptive mother's request to help Vail look for Zein. They arrived in front of the palace, but they saw that the palace security was very tight. "Mr. Rabe..." the soldier came, and whispered something to Rabe who held the position of head soldier in place of Nor. "Go back to your place," Rabe ordered the soldier to retur
It doesn't feel like it has come this far, the repair was so difficult at first. [although not everything is in order yet]I got some good news, where the doctor told me that my lungs had fully recovered. (I got this news while repairing volume 4)What you may not know is that this is a great joy for me. Because of this illness, I had to stop writing for a year. And focus on my health.(I don't have anything to say anymore)Regarding the novels in the first series of the Marak project, you might be confused about how and why the story seems to be repeated.Or the placement of the characters is uncertain and unclear.[I think you all have a point, but that's part of the novel. There are no main characters and no heroine in this series, except for the dark entity itself]Instead, I try my hardest to make you all more curious about the story.Then it doesn't feel like it's over for volume 5, but from what I've written. I realized one thing, I seem to have made a fantasy novel spiced with
“Apart from you, only Bara and Teresa know my purpose. But don't need to ask them to explain.”“We understand, master Ivel.” King Ligt was so curious, but he also understood. Will not ask Bara and Queen Teresa for clarity.“This is unrelated but, I want you to stay united like this. Then, King Julius, I want you to become a demon king.”“How do I become a demon king? The demon king ancestor was defeated eight hundred years ago.” Julius informed.“…..” The masked person summoned a black ball the size of an orange seed from the void.“I want you to swallow this thing, and become a demon king. There is nothing negative in it, you are just a demon king and nothing more." The masked person gave the black ball to Julius.“Thank you, for allowing me to be the demon king, master Ivel.” Julius received a very small black ball from the masked person's right hand.
Several people who were caught by illegal traders got off and got out of the horse-drawn carriage.“….” They saw the subordinate who kidnapped them die being eaten by wolves.They went down quietly so that the wolf would not notice them."No need to be afraid, they won't eat you."“…..” They saw a masked person walking over, escorted by a tall black wolf with bright red eyes.“Spare us!” Said one of the men among the dozens of people present.“No need to worry, just run away with this horse-drawn carriage. There is a kingdom that will accept you with open arms," said the masked person.“…..” The two women from before dared to get out of the horse carriage.“But where should we go?” Said one of the other men among dozens of people.“….” One of the two women saw a masked person."Go south, there is a kingdom cal
“King Ligt, can you give me a war horse?” The person asked King Gerna to prepare horses."...." Teresa fell silent after hearing Rei's words.“Why won't you accept me? Am I inappropriate?” Teresa cried, not expecting that Rei would leave."Hahaha..." The person laughed, not to belittle her but to see Teresa's figure in a world that had been destroyed, at Teresa in front of him.“…..” Everyone there was confused.That person got up from his seat to kneel in front of Teresa, before speaking again. He has a plan to disappear again and pursue Eudom.“Teresa, please allow me to go. In exchange, can I consider you my reason for coming back?” The person stretched out his right hand.“EH?!” They were all surprised by Rei's proposal.“….” Teresa got up from her seat.“I —” Teresa stopped talking, turning to Vail.Teresa
The ground they stand on moves and shakes, and can make people fall from their feet."What happen? Is the god angry?” Jei was so frightened by the shaking of the ground.“Everyone get out quickly!” Cini asks everyone to come out.After coming out, they were surprised by a land that could be seen with the naked eye.A few minutes after the shaking stopped.“Jei!”“……” They all saw William in the sky with a masked person.William and the person descended from the sky."Thank God you're safe, Jei." William immediately hugged his wife."Why is Daddy in the sky?" Geham was so curious."Father was saved by this person, when he couldn't get out of the horse-drawn carriage on his way here," William informed.“Everyone, this does sound presumptuous. But for now, I will take over," said the masked person."Before that, were there people from other k
"Teresa in this world has died because she ate cake that was poisoned by Prince Arya. Or rather, she ate the cake that was supposed to be given to Luken.”"...." Teresa was shocked to hear the masked person's words.“The body you use is yours, while I sent Teresa's body to the previous world. Turning it into an adult, this is my first time.”"Sorry to make you so heavy-hearted." Teresa feels guilty about wanting to be together.“No, I did it at the right time.”“At the right time?” Teresa was so curious.A screen appears showing the conditions after Arya was imprisoned.Teresa looked at the screen, someone appeared who gave something to Arya who was languishing in prison."Who is it?" Teresa was so curious.“Noble Noer, one of the members of the black knights. Coincidentally, he was there disguised as noble Ryu.”"...." Teresa looked and watched, Arya turned into a mindless demon and destroyed everything.T
“….” Teresa was silent, she didn't know who the woman was."Your Queen has opened her eyes." Said the woman, so happy to see Teresa open her eyes."Miss Rini, the queen may still be tired." The woman tells Rini to let Teresa have her time.“I understand, Princess Lumina…Teresa, if you ask for something. Tell me…okay?” Rini understood the situation and didn't want to make her friend feel confused.“Princess Lumina? This is the first time I've heard it." Teresa said inwardly in confusion."Could it be that I was thrown back into a world I don't know?" Teresa said most likely, inside her mind.Rini and Princess Lumina left Queen Teresa, to give the queen time to think.Then the two of them told Vail what they saw.“Teresa is forty again?” Vail was shocked to hear Rini's words about his fiancé."That's what I saw, Teresa was also wearing a necklace around her neck," Rini told Vail.“Teresa? Why do you get old again?"
Teresa headed to the serving table and tasted the cake Yua made.Rini, who wanted to approach her queen, immediately stopped her footsteps. Because she saw a masked person approaching Teresa.“I didn't think that you would publicly humiliate him, Queen Teresa.”“…Mister, where have you been?” Teresa, who was tasting the cake, was a little surprised by the arrival of the mysterious person.“Did I come late?“You didn't come late—”“Queen Teresa, there is no need to speak formally to me.” The masked person asked Teresa to talk like a friend."l can, but don't call me queen," Teresa informed.Teresa put her food on the table.“Do you want to dance with me?” Teresa invites the masked person to dance with her.“I'm not good at–”“Can I take off the mask?” Teresa was so curious and wanted to take off the m
The king and the others fell silent. On the other hand, Arya smiled and felt that she could be free from the problems that occurred.“What are you doing for each other's actions?” Prince Adzahk wanted to be sure."At first I refused, but the queen asked and held my hand as I was leaving. As a result, I was seduced by her, and it became what you see.” Prince Arya informed."It seems this misunderstanding has been resolved, Queen Teresa still loves her ex-fiancé,my third child, Prince Arya." The king calmed down at Arya's words.“Even so, your seductive actions must be punished.” The king rebuked his son.“I understand, king…I, prince Arya…is ready to accept punishment.” Prince Arya was so happy."The rest just ask Queen Teresa for an explanation," Rii told the others.“…Are you dissatisfied with my answer?” Prince Arya was so shocked, that he did not consider this possibility.“We are satisfied, but why are you so scared? Don't you love each other enough to do that? Considering the quee
