Abyss
#26
At the 4L residence, in the park while enjoying the beauty of the morning, looks Nine, the figure of the Ruler and a 9-year-old child named Aurelia Adhisti.
The green clump and the cool air under the shade of the trees make the atmosphere so comfortable. Nine kept his promise, becoming a friend to the grandson of the Sovereign who was currently on vacation.
"Are you really as great as Grandpa said? " Alya opened the conversation looking confident.
Aurelia, a little girl who always holds a book of quantum physics in her hands, the highest material in the field of physics and still a mystery unsolved to this day.
"No, even I can't be juxtaposed with your grandfather," Nine replied.
"No, big brother is really great. Grandfather never lied to Alya," The little girl seemed to know everything.
"It should be that if you lie then Alya can see it from your changing attitude, changes from eye movements, expressions, hand movements, even from sound vibrations."
"Alya can see everything, a lie or honesty. But that can't be Alya's look at you."
"Alya trusts grandfather, and grandfather only invites those who are great." Alya.
Aurelia Adhisti, a 9-year-old child, has had blood-red eyes and artificial intelligence experiments since the early Golden Age. Alya, the girl whose intelligence level is still a mystery.
"Just sitting for a while, Alya could tell that big brother had grown up together with death. Am I right? " Alya put out her analysis.
“Alya also noticed from the way big brother saw the foliage falling around us, big brother did not enjoy it, more precisely big brother counted everything."
"Feeling a gust of wind to help your sister in making the right formula in determining the acceleration and the number of leaves that fall."
“Massa 0.4g, gravity acceleration = 10m/s² and air friction force holding the leaf 4 · 10-³ N”
“Simple only, the acceleration of falling leaves is 10 m/s² and if you look at the average number of fallen leaves, on average every 9 seconds there are 15 leaves that have fallen.”
"Isn't Alya right?" There was a smile on his face.
"I don't know what you've been taught, you don't seem to master quantum physics, rather you bring a book just to show off to look great in front of me. " Nine completely ignored Alya's calculation of the fallen leaves.
"You can't play music either, but rather deep analysis and complete complex calculations. "
"Your smile also cannot hide the suffering you are going through. Anyone can tell, behind the clothes you're wearing, your body is full of wounds."
"Even I can tell, there are countless times you want to end your life."
"No need to answer, what I said was the truth," just a little look at the scar that was in Alya's hands, Nine concluded everything without hesitation.
"Ha ha ha ha, "4L just laughed in satisfaction, while Aurelia was just speechless, clearly visible on her face a sense of annoyance.
Not long after, Axton the 4L personal guard came whispering something. After 4L resigned, "I will leave you two here, I hope you will be more familiar."
"Will grandfather leave? " Alya asked, looking an expression that did not want to be left behind.
"Well, yeah, "say 4L by stroking Alya's head, and then leaving.

"Is sister angry with Alya?” Suddenly Alya asked.
“Alya can not feel any emotions like sister. "continue he said.
"No," Nine replied, the gusts of wind made it sound conciliatory.
"really? "
"... " In response, Nine simply nodded.
"If so, will you take Alya for a walk, Alya wants to go to Almaeda, the city where the Abyssal Tower is located. Can I?" Alya, the look in her eyes symbolized sadness, as if she wanted to shout and show how lonely she was.
—
Almaeda is the only public city in the Abyss, anyone can go there, provided that he has official documents issued by the authorities in a country to travel to the Land of Geniuses, Abyss.
The alumni are also free to go to Almaeda, their main goal is to search for artifacts and reach the top of the Abyssal Tower, but until now, everything is still a mystery.
The 3rd floor was the highest floor mankind could reach to date, while the 4th floor and beyond, were all unsolved mysteries.
Many theorize, the 4th floor is the gateway to the other world, because until now, no one has returned after passing through it. Whether they were alive or dead, no one knew.
After a journey of almost 1 hour from the residence of the Ruler, finally arrived Nine and Aurelia in Almaeda, a city with architecture like ancient civilizations.
"It's beautiful, Alya's sister likes it" he said with excitement.
"After the last time, Alya has long wanted to come here" he continued.
After feeling enough to see the beauty of the city of Almaeda, Aurelia then gave orders to several bodyguards who guarded it. "You just wait at the gate, until nightfall, you don't bother."
"Ready My Ladies." Although it feels heavy, this is the best option for them. The Guards did not dare to refute, they could only trust the Nine that the 4L had recommended.
"Sister, we go yuk," Aurelia, she looked excited as she held Nine's hand beside her.
"Temenin Alya to the museum huh?" continue with spoiled.
"Everything because Alya had to give a report about some things in the past era after returning home from the Abyss. "
"It's in exchange because Alya has been allowed a vacation to the Abyss."
“...” Nine was silent, but nevertheless, Nine understood how terrifying the little girl had grown up to be.
—
The city of Almaeda is filled with ancient writings on every building, there is no modern technology in this place, but even so, this city has its own beauty.
The most amazing thing in this place is the Abyssal Tower, a tower like a giant building, if you look at its size, it will take at least 3 days to walk around it to get back to the starting point.
The peak of the Abyssal Tower could not be seen by anyone, even with the most advanced technology, as if there was a dark energy blocking the view.
From all over the Abyss mainland, everyone could see the Abyssal Tower, but no one knew who built it.
Along the way, Nine and Aurelia talked about many things, more precisely one-way talks, Aurelia talked a lot about something that was fun for her.
They walked among the crowd of students or Arhfa, Alumni and some outsiders, they all seemed busy with their respective affairs.
"Do you want to go up to the Abyssal Tower?" Alya asked
"No, no reason to go there?" answer Nine briefly..
"Is there no curiosity? " There was a sense of wonder in his mind.
"Nothing."
"It seems like nothing appeals to big brother? "Alya asked again.
"...”
After a long walk, we arrived at the Almaeda Museum, the only museum in the Abyss. Written in front of the building, a writing using one of the ancient languages.
| " _______________________________________________________________Civilization of the Gods" =
"Can you read it?" Alya asked.
"In the discovery of historical objects, the language was often found, and eventually the Archaeologists succeeded in translating it, "Nine replied.
Alanta, one of the languages spoken in the past, thousands of years before Christ, even in the largest library in Altera, there is no book that talks about ancient civilizations or the languages they speak.
"Do you know anything about the Alanta civilization? " Alya looks curious.
"Learning history from books, everything is inseparable from lies." What really happened in the past is a mystery that no one knows about, except some people who can be trusted, because history is something that is easily manipulated.
"Civilization that has been destroyed, " said Alya who followed the fading curiosity in his mind.
---
In the Museum many things are seen, objects from civilizations in the past, more precisely all objects stored here have an age of thousands of years before the year AD.
One of them is the discovery of a stone that is said to have been used as a power plant, but no one can solve the mystery of how it works. That is what is written in the glass cabinet where it is stored, written using the Ancient Language of Alanta.
"According to brother, why can the stone store electricity?" Alya asked. There was a curious expression on his face from looking at the stone.
"Okay, "very short answer.
"Say I don't want to answer, "Alya looks pouting, "And Alya has to make a report" he continued.
Regardless of what he said, Nine's attention was suddenly drawn to a gigantic mading, a mading made with extremely hard black stones.
Due to curiosity, Nine walked over to him.
It was written a letter,
"12 Keys of the Gods, "
Instantly the thought crossed, does this have anything to do with one of the Dragon Keys I managed to get before, the reward when successfully completing the hidden quest, “Lost history.”
Nine had not had time to read everything, someone suddenly approached, the three of them members of the Lexa Guild. The last meeting between them and Nine was at the entrance to Altera. (Chapter 16)
