Toz and Reve spent their days in the iron room. Every now and then the dwarves come to give food and see the situation.
Even if Toz rambled at length, they were still not allowed to go out. Moreover, a sealing spell was already installed to surround the building so that no one would notice that they were confined there.
A high-level spell from a tankzeas guider (protector) that cannot be realized unless the user dies.
“Until when will we be here?”
“Contact,” reply Reve short.
“So when can I get out? I have to explore and find the crystals! In that case, it just feels like a waste of my time here!”grouse Toz.
“Didn't you hear what the dwarf said? We won't be able to get out until the messenger from the hydra leaves.”
“Again what's wrong with meeting? Otherwise, just let go of us in order to get out of this village.”
“Looks like your ears were damaged as they spoke,”, Reve said.
“What you said! This is all because of you! If it wasn't for your actions against the old man, then we wouldn't be like this!”
“Can't you shut up?”
“No! Because it's all your fault!”
“You want me to clog your mouth with Near?” dirt
“Heh! What did you say! You dare to do that?!”
“Whispering! Are beings like you guys not calm? I'm tired of hearing your rant!” grumbled the dwarf guarding in front of the house.
“How can we calm down if you guys lock us up like this?! I want to get out of here!” Toz replied with his mouth.
“Until the village chief issues an order, then you guys will stay here!” Finished saying so, the dwarf went and pierced through the spell wall while gluing a hand full of ancient writing in order to pass through.
Elsewhere, a step full of certainty tread the road that divides the settlement of Krucoa. The two people stared around, and stopped when they saw the figure of the village chief standing there welcoming them.
“It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Noa Krucoa,” greet one of them while both give a respectful attitude.
“Mmm,” reply old man who stares calmly at them.
The two people stood up straight again and returned the village chief's gaze. “Pardon us, for coming suddenly. I believe a letter of knowledge has been sent to this village. Honestly-” he did not continue the speech, because the village head raised his hand to stop the conversation.
“You guys have just come, it would be better to talk about it while resting in my residence.”
“Ah, thank you for your concern Sir,” the two guests bowed respectfully and followed the steps of the village chief while being escorted by the other dwarves.
Once there, they were greeted with normal food and drinks. “How is Revtel doing?” ask the village chief.
“Ah, he is fine Sir,” said one of them because the other was busy chewing the dish in plain sight. “Tu-lord, the,” he seemed to hesitate continuing.
“About an incident that hit one of the hydra?”
“True Mr.”
“So what will you do?”
“We were asked to check if any suspicious figure came here.”
“Suspicious figure?”
“True Sir. As you know, however, the dead are assandia (fighters) hydra, and that was a big blow to our people. After all, we cannot let criminals roam and undermine trust between nations.”
“So hydra suspects that the killer is one of us?”
“Bu-not so Sir. We just want to ask for help, if any suspicious people come here. That's all, sir. We both know, if the world gate Guide has been open to humans, it does not close the fact that maybe one of them is the culprit.”
The village chief fell silent, making the two people anxious if his words might have already offended the figure in front of him. “Tu-lord?”
“What does your leader do?”
“Ah, tu-tuan Kers is busy as usual,” replied they hesitated.
“Busy? What's he working on?”
“I-it,” their voices blocked not coming out.
“If he is just busy eating wine, wouldn't he be better off using his great ability? Hydra nation won't be in trouble if he directly intervenes.”
“Ya-yah, the problem is,” the faces of the two guests paled because they did not know what to answer.
“No need to continue, I already know your answer,” interrupted the village chief.
The two of them lowered their heads, feeling riled up by the figure of the dwarf leader who from earlier threw a troublesome question.
“Unfortunately no suspicious people came here. But we will definitely tell the hydra if anything suspicious,” the village chief then stood up.
The two guests also stood up with trembling legs. “Oa!” call the village chief. “Take them to the resting place,” the command once Oa has entered the room.
“Please follow me,” invite Oa after nodding to the village chief.
“Thank you sir,” both guests from hydra also leave the room.
For a moment, the village chief fell silent while staring at the expanse of village scenery through the window. I don't know what he was thinking, to the point that the rose plant on the table withered because of the heat he let out.
“Hah ..” breath someone while lapping a pillow. A look of boredom lingered on his face, while occasionally glancing towards the young man who collapsed with his pet black mamba snake. “It looks like you really enjoy this.”
The young man in front of him did not answer except to gently stroke the head of the snake. “Reve, I want to ask you something.”
“Mmm.”
“How can I get strength and ring like you?”
“Gate will open if you deserve it.”
“If I don't deserve?” Toz looked at him.
“Then you're just trash here.”
Toz was weaving his lips because Reve's answer sucks. “If the gate is open, what should I do?”
“Fight.”
“With whom?”
“Yourself,” replied Reve briefly.
“I wonder what kind of ability I would get if the gate opened. Oh yeah Reve, what do you think I fit into?”
“Pprovoke.”
“Hah?”
“Your female mouth is suitable to make your opponent bend the knee.”
“What did you say?!” toz's face was flushed red hearing Reve's flat-faced reply. Suddenly he got up from his sleep and turned to the door. “What's up?” Toz was curious.
“Are you going to let us go?” lirih Reve suddenly.
“That's hard enough to remember the sin you've committed,” said a voice behind the door. Slowly the door opened, with a familiar figure entering the room.
“Ke-head of the village?” Toz flabbergasted.
“Nation hydra already arrived.”
“Yes, I know. Their energy felt all the way here,” Reve chuckled.
“I only kill commanders, why is their attitude like losing nobles?” kilah Reve's.
The village chief looked coldly at him, “you know we can't hold you here for too long.”
“Ya, just relax. I'll leave after you tell me where it is.”
“He's not someone you can just let go of! The whole other nation will kill you before you get to see him,” explained the village chief.
“I know, and I wouldn't be so stupid as to let myself die in vain.”
Toz was silent, he noticed the two people who were discussing strange and incomprehensible things. “Who wants to be freed Reve?” inner Toz curious.
“Do you think I'll let you do it?”
“Then? Do you want us to continue the fight yesterday?” now Reve was standing right in front of the village chief.
“She is the curse for the world Guide. What are you planning to do with him?”
Reve circulated a non-answering look. Turn back and grab Near the snake onto the lap. “I just want to kill him.”
The two people gasped in shock at the reply from Reve Nel Keres.
“Kill him? A kid like you wants to kill a legend? Why?” it seems the village chief still can't believe what Reve said.
“You don't need to know, just tell me where the prison is then I'll leave here.”
“There will be a big shock if you open his prison.”
Reve stared exasperatedly at the village chief, “lalu?”
“And no one can kill him.”
“Do not equate me with you, I am not afraid of the curse of death,” said Reve who silenced the village chief. The old man's body immediately shook violently because of Reve's unsuspecting words.
“You, who are you exactly?”
Reve smiled, my “? Didn't you guys know? I'm Reve Nel Keres, the boy who will kill Reygan Cottia with his own two hands.”
The village chief looked down, long enough he did not make a sound until finally his steep chin was raised. Highlight the clear eyes of the unknown old man how old he was to stare at reve without blinking.
The blowing of the outside wind entered the room. Trying to stir the atmosphere of silence to get back entertainment.
“Red land, that's where he is. A land that no one can reach unless you have the key sign,” beber village chief.
“Red land? So, where can I get the key?”
“The key is three, and only three people know where it is,” the village chief turned his face away.
“Who?” Reve looked coldly.
“Go to the Crystal hill and meet the glass maker, then you will know the answer.”
“Reve smiled, “thank you, I will never forget your kindness.”
The village head lowered a glance before looking back at the faces of the two young men nearby, “go at midnight and pass the root road, then three days later you will get there,” the village chief left them.
After that, Reve also laid back his body in bed, “you heard Near, soon we will go from here,” he said while stroking the snake wrapped around his arm.
“Wait-wait! What the hell does that mean? What are you guys talking about? Kill Reygan Cottia? Crystal Hill? What are you talking about exactly?” sosor Toz suddenly.
Reve looked at her with a strange warm expression, “sorry friend. Looks like, our togetherness will end tonight.”
“A-what do you mean?”
“I have to go.”
“Where?”
“Blocks Crystals.”
Toz closed his mouth, seconds later, he again asked a question. “Reygan Cottia, is it for that sake that you came to the world of Guide?”
“Ya.”
“Who is he?”
“My enemies.”
“Does that mean you yourself will go see him?”
“Of course, since only I have a grudge against him,” shrewdly Reve again stroked Near's head.
Toz clenched his hands, feeling confused what to say after hearing the conversation Reve and the village chief had. “Crystal Hill, what is it?”
“Mmm ... I don't know, but according to legend, it is a place where the gods often play there.”
“Playing place of the gods,” murmured Toz. He no longer spoke to Reve who had closed his eyes to melt himself.
The awaited midnight came, the cold felt different from the usual days. The door opened again, with several figures entering the room.
“You guys,” Toz sweep the view in front of him.
“This,” Nesian thrusting some parcels on Reve.
“The journey to the east is not so difficult, but it does not rule out the possibility that you could have met the enemy on the road,” said the village chief.
“Thank you,” nod Reve. He turned towards Toz and touched his shoulder.
“Then we part here. I hope, the day that your power gate opens will come soon,” he said.
Toz was silent, his gaze still could not be separated from Reve who turned towards the village chief. “Thank you for all your help, when my goal has been achieved, I will definitely repay your kindness,” Reve bowed respectfully to him.
The village chief raised his hand and touched Reve's bowed shoulder, “may you always be god-protected in your every step.” He lowered the hand that made Reve stand straight again.
“Tu-wait!” intercept Toz suddenly. “I, I'll come with you!”
They all looked towards Toz, “follow? To the Kristal hill?” Reve tilted his face.
“Ya,” reply Toz with a confident expression.
“Originally you know, I can't protect a guider like you if you go there.”
“Not a problem, because I will protect myself.”
Reve scrunched his forehead, “again why do you want to go there? You better be here.”
Toz was silent for a moment, “maybe, it might be true that I will trouble you later. But after all, my purpose in coming to this world was to explore it. If I stay here then I won't get anything. Therefore, please ... please allow me to go with you!” Toz pleaded while bowing to him.
“Alright, if that's what you want.”
Toz smiles happily at Reve's approval. He also looked at the village head with a crisp face, “thank you! Thank you for keeping me here for a few days even though you locked me up without my consent,” always Toz without being filtered.
The village chief extended his hand, leaving Toz confused by the meaning. That hand touched Toz's chest, “may god be with you every step of the way,”.
The touch suddenly poured cold air into Toz's body, causing a chill that reminded him of something vaguely.
“Thank you!” toz involuntarily shed tears. Nesian who had left for a while also came back again while thrusting the bag. Take it, in it there is food,” he explained.
Not only bags, two warm-looking robes were also handed over to the two human children.
“Thank you!” sahut Toz and Reve almost simultaneously.
Finished farewell, they both left the village of Krucoa covered in fog and thorns secretly. Given the existence of two guests from the Hydra nation, were sleeping in his resting place due to the sleeping potion they ate. The journey of the two human children full of twists and turns, finally began from now on.
