Diego went inside the Administration Office. This is a big building in the center of the city. So far, most of the Aro Villagers can roam around Cole City however, they were forbidden to use the Centipede Train that will let them travel to the other cities. They also cannot participate in quests and they cannot use Dungeon Zone which is exclusive to Hunters. Aside from that, they have a freedom of sorts in this city, so far from being a slave. Diego was thankful about this but… He needs to know why didn’t they get this ‘Contract’ which put most of the villager unease. A woman stops in front of him carrying a large box with ‘papers’ in it. “Can I help you?” She fixes her posture and the way she carries the box. “Can.I.Talk.To.Maisha?” “Maisha, wait for a bit.” The woman put the box down on the side and run upstairs. He waited for a short while then the woman come back with Maisha in tow. “Hi!” Maisha waves her hand while saying hi. Diego didn’t notice it but for some rea
“Finally! I’m DONE!”Cole stood up from his chair and raise both of his hands in the air with a glee full feeling inside.“Agrhhh… my butt… my back…”Cole began stretching his body.He twisted his neck, moved his hips side by side, and stretch his arms.“It’s been what… 5 days? Is it?”Cole looks around the room, notebooks are scattered around, papers with different notes on them, and maps with different legends and information.There is even a separate map with different dates on it.In one glace, people might think that he is extremely unsafe, but all of the notes are written in Jon’s Earth language and letters, which is why unless the people who will look at it are from Earth they will never understand this.Cole was so focused that he didn’t notice how many days has it been since he is working.For the past few days, Cole is just staying in his room while Rei or Twix will deliver food to a separate table from time to time.In addition to that, Cole informed the two of them that if
Cole casually walk-in inside the Administration Office, he already knew that this will create a weird atmosphere, and this is also one of the reasons he don’t want to come there.However, this time when he met the receptionist and their eyes met. The receptionist's eye widens, and immediately talk to another receptionist that glance at Cole, and she immediately runs upstairs.The receptionist that found Cole immediately run towards him and bowed.“Lord Cole! Are you here because of the meeting?”(This is weird… it felt weird… and…)“What meeting?”Her eyes widen feeling confused she looks around looking for help but at last, no one is there to help her.There was a short silence between them.Step! Step!Then Cole notices an approaching person and peeks to see who it is.An elf ran down the stairs in a hurry.“My Lord! My Lord!”(That elf, she’s with Alicia in some of our meetings, there are also some of those ‘assistants’ that came with her but if I remember correctly she has attend
“Why would we kill them?”(Nabel is really crazy.)“Oh! Do you mean we should cook them alive?”Cole shook his head.“Sigh…”He walks past Nabel, taps his shoulder twice, and continues to walk toward Alicia.Step! Step! Step!Just after he stepped into the room.‘Lord… Cole…’‘That’s Lord Cole.’‘Let’s behave we don’t want to get kicked out.’The people around him settle down.He notice that others began to sit down and stay quiet, it doesn’t matter what ‘side’ they are in, both of the parties behave immediately.Cole then arrives at the table.“Lord Cole!”Haaken, Avani, Maisha (The elf), and Alicia bowed with respect to him.(This is why I don’t want to attend these meetings, just the greetings are already tiring.)“So…”Cole then looks at Alicia.“Lord Cole… as you see…”Alicia glances at the people in the audience area.“This tribe wanted half of their clan to be free.”(Alright, I mean, humans will be problematic, but Demis are ‘somewhat’ safe, I mean Demis have less contact with
“I would like to… stay here.”The Chief of the tribe replied.(Oh! So the chief also wanted to stay here.)But then that created a murmur around.‘What is he saying?’‘How about going back to the forest?’‘Isn’t this good?’‘I thought he wanted to go back so badly?’When Cole looks at the chief’s bodyguard he notices that both are also surprised.(Well whatever happens, I really don’t care, I only want the ‘artifact’ and if they join Yggdrasil I bet Alicia will be happy about it.)“Alright.”Cole said casually.Then he lean towards Alicia and whispered.“Just ensure that we will get the artifact, and they could do as they please… either free them outside or let them stay.”“As you wish Lord Cole.”Alicia nodded.“But what if the ‘others’ wanted a different option for themselves… compared to the Chief’s decision.”(Hmmm… It’s not really my business whether they leave the tribe or not… but.)Cole glances at the Chief.(Until I get that ‘artifact’ I have to be good with the Chief.)“Just
Cole together with Mylan flies over the mountainous region of Mepkis and they successfully dodge Inferno’s territory.He looks at the window and even this far he can see it.A small fire on top of a mountain.Cole smiled.(Nice, the detour is a success.)Mylan is inside the cabin together with Cole and this time, he is very focused on watching the environment.“My Lord…”“Yes, Mylan…”“May I ask what are we looking for again?”“Hmmm… we are looking for a dungeon, the information from the administration official said that it is a field-type dungeon. So it may either be a cave or some sort of a castle or a mounded thing.”“Just like that thing My Lord.”The chubby guy pointed at a distance.And Cole’s eyes widen at what he saw.Imagine an ant hill but instead of the simple hill, the design looks like a dragon who is looking upward with its mouth wide open.“Yeah, I guess that it…”Cole shook his head.“It couldn’t be more subtle.”“Sky! Let’s go down there.”The insect follows the instr
“Graaaaa”A large lizard with a green scale yawn and open its mouth.TUG! TUG!He moves his body and wiggles for a bit.Tug! Tug!He opens his eyes and the slit can be seen in the middle of the golden pupil.He then proceed in looking at his jaded body.Whoosss! Whoosss!He flaps his wings and felt that rushing air from them.But as soon as he did that, he was surprised.“The smell, (Sniff, Sniff) It doesn’t smell the same.”His golden eyes widen and he begins to look around.His cave felt different but at the same time, it felt the same.“Hmmm…”He was curious so he look around.Tug! Tug! Tug!Sniff! Sniff!He continuously sniffs the air around him and moves around the area.“What’s different! (Sniff)”He then grabs the floor.Bang! Crush!And felt the sand running down his hand.“Hmmm… this is not it!”Riyyarlud has been living in this dungeon for knows how long and this is the only place he knew tranquility.This battle-addict dragon began to find peace after walking up into this l
“Mentor, are you ready?”Marbas have a huge grin on his face.(Mentor? Are you calling me that because I became one of your experiments.)“Sigh… Yes… Let’s begin.”Cole looks at the hand of Marbas, a large organ is sitting in his hands.Dragon Lungs.“Now, Mentor… please do your best this time?”Marbas said these things but his face say ‘please fail because I wanted to perform more experiments on you’.Just like that.Cole lost consciousness again.“Waaa…”Cole jump up and woke up in a large cave.Slowly he stood up.“Now… let’s do this…”Cole looks around the cave before moving.“Let’s see, from the two trails that I failed, I suddenly go back without any warning.”Cole nodded as he remember the first one.“I walk past this passage and suddenly I woke back at Yggdrasil. Then I thought that it must be a fluke so I tried it again, but even so, I increase my sensitivity just in case someone or something caught me by surprise, then I return after turning to the left side when I hit the f
