Archipelago: the lost king
chapter 6 - city semi

"where are we going, sir?" ask Rudra.

of course that's a normal question.their current situation is bad, more than half of their troops were killed, and most were injured.

and also, right now they did not have the slightest treasure. Noran realized that.

"where is the nearest town uncle?" ask Noran.

"the nearest city is to the east of the master, which is the semi city" Rudra said.

"well, we'll go there" Noran said.

"we can't just walk away, sir, they may realize we're at the city gate" Rudra said.

Noran nodded, very easily recognizing them while in his current appearance.

"we're going to disguise our uncle, and also, to become some small group, to make us look like travelers" Noran said.

Rudra and the others nodded, indeed it was the right plan for now.

"that's a good plan sir.I will divide us into 4 groups, me and the master will be the last group" said Rudra.

"yes, that's good." answered Noran.

after dividing the group into smaller ones, Rudra and the others split up. They entered from 2 different gates and took different paths.

to reduce the trail, the log cabin was burned, and each group of brirling repeatedly, making their footprints look chaotic.

"hopefully this is able to hinder them" Noran thought.

Noran now had the appearance of a normal teenager, while Rudra had the appearance of an old traveller.

"die, we go." said Noran.

both of them followed the path. Noran now realized, if the atmosphere in the forest is creepy.

every now and then, the crow's voice sounded and made a deafening sound.

after a long walk, the city gate was visible.

the great wall surrounded the semi city, this was due to the hidden dangers that threatened the semi city.

semi town...

written a big name on the gate, two fierce guards stood up and recorded every visitor who came.

"stop!" said one of the guards.

he stopped Noran and Rudra in disguise with a sharp look, he looked at the faces of the two.

when he looked at Noran's face, he felt foreign, but when he looked at Rudra, he felt like he wanted to say something.

"who are you?" tanyakanya.

"we are the master travelers" said Rudra.

"saddiction? so who is this boy?" ask the guard.

"he's my nephew, we just came from afar. Is there anything I can help you with?" ask Rudra.

"if you want to enter the city, you have to pay 1 silver coin each person" said the guard.

"one silver coin sir? isn't that too expensive?" said Rudra.

the tax they asked for was high. With one silver coin, Rudra could live on a full stomach for a month.

"that's the rule of the king of the city, if you don't pay, you can't go in" said the guard.

Rudra, who had no money, pulled out a necklace from his pocket.This was the last relic from his father, a dragon-pendant.

the pendant made of pure silver, he gave it to the guard as payment.

"i don't have any money sir, can you accept this pendant?" ask Rudra.

"yes, that's enough" he said.

in the heart, the guard was overjoyed. This pendant was worth at least 4-6 silver coins.

"it's my lucky day!" thought.

Rudra and Noran then walked over the grrbang, both walking away from the gate and disappearing in a small hallway.

"mister, we don't have any money, and that's the only way we can get in. Let the pendant sell, as long as you can survive, that's enough for me" Rudra said.

Noran nodded, that was indeed the most important thing right now. Noran recalled, if the saag Rudra ever mentioned the level of the iron fist.

"uncle, didn't uncle ever mention the level of the iron fist? is there a level of strength in our own body?" ask Noran.

"there are masters, of course, there are several levels of power in martial arts.

body building rate

spiritual pulse rate

spiritual soul level

earth level

skyline

star level

moonlevel

solar level

heavenly level

eternal level

the lowest level was the body formation rate, and the highest level was the immortal level.

each level is divided into 9 stars, and currently, master is at the 2-star body formation level" Rudra said.

"isn't that the lowest level?" ask Noran.

"yes, it is indeed the lowest level of master.this is because master only started training a few days ago" Rudra said.

"yes, uncle is right. I'm just getting started, that's natural.then, how do we get the money?" noran.

Noran and Rudra thought, both of them stuck in their minds, thinking of the best way to raise money right now.

"sir, it seems like I have to work to earn money" Rudra said.

he broke the silence, making Noran immediately come to his senses.

"what's work?" ask Noran.

"anything, as long as it can make money" Rudra said.

"i have a better idea" Noran said.

"a better idea? is that sir?" ask Rudra.

Rudra was curious, what kind of idea Noran was thinking about patiently, waiting for a reply from Noran.

"uncle, is there a debtor in this town?" ask Noran.

"debt guy? all I know is only one place master.it is the golden stork pavilion.what do you want to do?" ask Rudra.

"let me there uncle, I want to borrow some money there" Noran said.

"but sir, they have a big flower, every one silver coin, they charge it to 1 silver coin and 30 copper coins" Rudra said.

"so, 30% are the flowers? it was quite high as well." murmured Noran.

"remember uncle, I have my own plans" Noran said.

The two eventually went towards the golden stork pavilion.the pavilion was located in the center of the city, making the two hsrus walk quite a distance.

the atmosphere of the city was peaceful and serene and yet, under this calmness, power struggles were frequent within the city.

both of them arrived in front of the pavilion.The luxurious three-story building, in front of the door, contained two amazing wolf statues.

a plaque reading "golden stork pavilion" was magnificently displayed.

golden in color, also a luxurious interior can be seen from the slightly open pavilion door.

"sir, we have arrived at the golden crane pavilion" Rudra said.

"gold stork pavilion! what a luxurious place it's time to carry out my plan." murmured Noran.
