Archipelago: the lost king
chapter 3 becomes the new king

"what? become king? what are you talking about?!" noran.

Noran felt a little frustrated, just now he knew his history from the old man before him, but now he had to become king.

'what are you thinking?! I only found out about my history a few minutes ago.and now, you want me to be king?' grunts Noran.

although he likes things related to mysticism and mystery, but the events before him are so strange.

"yes sir, we beg you to guide us in this Kalaya kingdom" Rudra said.

"why should I be king?" noran tqnya.

"that's because the lord is the heir to the blood of the previous king, the noble Hermes" Rudra said.

Rudra walked closer towards Noran, himself holding onto Noran's right arm and pressing down on him with his thumb and forefinger.

swing...

the energy in it flowed into Noran's arm, a bluish frown slowly appearing above Noran's palm.

it forms a series of diagrams, similar to those in the book.the mark of the heir to the throne of the Kalaya kingdom.

"this is the mark of the official heir to the royal throne.Without this mark, whoever the king may be, will never have the disposition and majesty of the king.

and the master, as the owner of this sign, must be the king and guide this kingdom to develop properly" Rudra said.

Noran was surprised to see the mark on his hand, after hearing the explanation from Rudra, a strange feeling now appeared.

he felt that what Rudra was saying was completely true, slowly, Noran nodded his head.

"alright, I'll do it, but I don't promise I can keep it" Noran said.

"that's enough sir, at any time, we will always be by your side" Rudra said.

Noran walked out of the log cabin, seen the soldiers, who numbered about 50 men lined up neatly.

when they saw Noran, they knelt down and held on to the upright spear and the round shield in their hands.

"respect to you sir! our full loyalty is only to you!" said the soldiers in unison.

Noran nodded, himself again walking and looking at the beautiful blue sky.

the air was so refreshing and clean, on earth, only a few places were the same as this place.

"being a king? I'm not sure if I'll be able to." Noran said softly.

he sat on a rock and looked at the sky with his hands covering the sun.

swush...

a voice of greatness rang out, it was Rudra, himself standing behind Noran firmly.

"i'm sure you will be able to" Rudra said.

"what do you believe? I was just an ordinary human before, there was not a single great kingly trait in me." said Noran.

during this time, he only lived like a teenage boy, only a small difference he had.

"there is always a special side in everyone, sir" Noran said.

"do you believe it?" ask Noran.

"yes, I trust him sir." replied Rudra.

"your thinking is naive, most humans have the same nature and temperament, only a few have special properties" Noran said.

Noran walked into the hut and sat down on the sofa.Slowly, he fell asleep in a sitting position.

Rudra looked at the young man before him, a different look, his gaze filled with admiration and complete trust.

"his thoughts are different from those of ordinary teenagers, I believe he can be a great king.

sir, I promise to guide him well, trust your son to me." murmured Rudra.

Rudra picked up a blanket and put it on to Noran.He then left Noran asleep.

...

Noran woke up feeling refreshed. Noran got up and walked out of the hut, looking all the soldiers and Rudra lined up neatly in front of the hut.

"do you feel hungry?" ask Rudra.

"yes, that's it." said Noran.

"let's eat first sir" said Rudra.

Rudra guided Noran towards a cottage, this was the cottage he used to cook the soldiers' food.

when Noran arrived, the cooks prepared the best hides they could serve.

grilled meat, grilled fish, and a few other foods filled the table.

"it's like in a movie, forget it. It's mealtime." Noran murmured.

Noran ate the food he was serving, after a few mouthfuls, he realized that his subordinates were standing quietly behind him.

"why are you just standing?" ask Noran.

"master, subordinates should not eat when their master eats, we will wait for the master to finish eating" Rudra said.

"what the fuck? who made that rule?" ask Noran.

"that sudsh became the rule of the lord's ancestor" replied Rudra.

"foolish time with the ancestors.they are dead, and I want to ask.who is your master?", asked Noran.

"and there is our master" said Rudra.

"in that case, follow my rules. When I eat, you should eat too" Noran said.

Rudra felt disapproving of Noran's remarks. In this world, every noble and leader emphasized the difference clearly.

subordinates should not eat together with their masters.it has been firmly attached in every individual.

"nothing but a tapi, it's an order" Noran said.

Noran called the cooks, and told them to prepare food for the soldiers.

with Rudra accompanying her, Noran ate the food that was there voraciously.

after breakfast, each soldier went to practice, they practiced tonbak martial arts and iron fist.

"what are they doing?" ask Noran.

Noran looked at the soldiers who were training by slamming their hands into a large wooden block.

nothing strange, until a soldier smashed his hand.

krakk...

the wooden block broke, the same thing happened to the other beams.This made Noran feel curious and asked.

"mister, it's our army's martial arts master, the iron fist style" Rudra said.

"iron fist move? what'sthat?" ask Noran.

"the iron fist is the main martial art of the royal army, with this style, the arms of the troops become as hard as iron and can easily spit out the large wooden beams" Rudra said.

"break down that big block with your bare hands? it's very strong." said Noran.

"master, the iron fist style is only the martial art of low-level earth.in this world, there are those who are able to flip mountains, change river currents and fly islands with their fingers" said Rudra.

"flipping mountains even flying islands with fingers? it was amazing." said Noran.

imagining a human being could lift a mountain with their fingers, this was similar to a fairy tale for children.

"then sir, you should start practicing as well" Rudra said.

"all right, let's practice that iron fist for starters" Noran said.

Noran felt quite excited, imagining himself being able to lift a mountain with his finger, was really fun.

"master, it's not that easy to learn martial arts. let's start by training the physical master first" said Rudra.
