High School Soldier
41. Queen Sigiz wants to see you
1914 Year of the Kingdom of Arevelk, morning.
**
Two months after the meeting he left behind, Sigiz is now on his throne.
The Royal Palace of Arevelk is indeed not as grand as the palace of Emperor Bogat in the Luan Empire. But for security matters, this palace won a landslide.
Because one thing that makes the Queen Sigiz Palace the safest in the Continent, is its location in ‘land drifting’.
The palace by its inhabitants is often referred to as ‘Awan’ Palace, because it is more often covered with clouds than seen directly. The area of this floating island is 5 times the football field.
This palace can only be reached if riding a wind dragon, a very rare species of dragon in this world. Wind dragons lay eggs once every 50 years and hatch within 10 years, which is what makes wind dragons difficult to find in this world.
Unlike the land dragon or sea dragon that lays eggs every 3 years and hatches within 1 year. For the sea dragon species, they did not have wings like the wind dragon and the land dragon. Some types of land dragons also do not have wings, precisely this type is rare from the land dragon species.
As for sea dragons, they have fins as a means of moving in the water. The sea dragon is a very fast swimmer, even the fastest swimmer in the world. However sea dragons cannot be used in warfare, as they cannot spurt fire.
Sea dragons are more often used as transportation for the world's navies to patrol the territorial waters of their respective countries.
The type of dragon that was sent to fight to another world was a type of winged earth dragon. The wind dragon was not included as it was too precious.
The wind dragon was the most powerful type of dragon, followed by the winged land dragon then the wingless and the sea dragon.

“The great astrologer has arrived the Queen.” said a servant while slightly bowing.
“Bring me to his place!” sigiz replied with an enthusiastic face.
“Good Queen.”
Sigiz then descends from his throne to meet the greatest astrologer on the Andzrev Continent.
The great seer had been outside the palace while propping up his ancient body with a staff that also served as his magic tool.
5 Special warriors of Arevelk Kingdom and a wind dragon are also there to guard the great Oracle.
When Sigiz arrived at the place where the great Seer was, the five soldiers then lowered their heads and left this place. The servant also left after delivering Sigiz to where the great Seer was.
There was only Sigiz and the great seer on the palace terrace….
“Thank you for fulfilling my selfish request, Great fortune teller,” Sigiz said as he slightly bent his body in front of the old grandmother.
“Do not be so Queen of my ‘, I am here also want to visit one of my students,” replied the great astrologer while stroking Sigiz's back.
Sigiz then smiled and walked over to take the great Oracle to a safe place to have a conversation.
The guard soldiers when they met Sigiz and the Great Seer stopped walking and bowed to pay their respects to the two important people of this country.
The two of them then arrived in the room to have a conversation, regardless of what kind of talk they were going to have now.
Sigiz and the great Oracle sat in the chair provided and sat facing each other with a table as a barrier.
Shortly after the two of them put their buttocks on the chair that looked very soft, four servants arrived with a pot of drinking water of various types, except wine and other alcoholic beverages.
Finished pouring drinking water and serving snacks, the four maids then left this place.
Sigiz started the conversation after sipping drinking water in front of him, “Great fortune teller, I want to ask about your two students. Have they found the person foretold?”
Sigiz nodded in relief at the great astrologer's reply and continued to eat his snacks.
“What will they still do war, Sigiz?” ask the great astrologer and break the temporary silence between them.
“Yes, no matter how many times I speak, it seems to only be considered a past wind by them,” Sigiz replied as he tightened his grip on his tea glass.
The great astrologer exhaled heavily after hearing Sigiz's reply, he looked anxious.
“May the gods give salvation to the soldiers,” said the great astrologer while holding both hands as if praying.
“Ya, hopefully.”
The great fortune teller looked slightly smiling as he looked at Sigiz who was engrossed in his snacks.
“Sigiz, at your age now, don't you intend to find a partner?” replied the great fortuneteller while smiling cunningly.
Sigiz immediately choked and drank water from his throat directly to relieve his cough.
“Ke-why do you ask like that?. After all there is no man who makes me interested,” replied Sigiz with a slightly blushing face while folding his hands in front of the chest.
“Hopefully there are men stronger than you and make you fall in love,” chirps the great astrologer and makes Sigiz even more upset.
“Already, is there no other talk?”
The great astrologer instantly lost his smile after hearing Sigiz's question.
His face showed like something was wrong in the future. Even his hands seemed to tremble until the glass filled with water shook its contents.
“Countries at war with the other world will lose if they do not stop the war,” said the great astrologer who made Sigiz look surprised.
“You have said that since the gate was raised, but it still surprised me,” said Sigiz as he looked down slightly at the shadow of his beautiful face from the water in his glass.
The great astrologer then continued his words, “Your choice not to engage in war is very appropriate, hopefully the predicted person will be found soon.”
Sigiz answered him with a nod and without a smile at all because he thought of the countries in the Andzrev Continent fighting with otherworldly forces.
“Do you know the weapons that other world teams use?” ask Sigiz.
“My vision is still unclear, but the otherworldly forces are using exploding sticks and issuing small arrows that can pierce through iron,” replied the great Oracle while gazing earnestly at Sigiz and making him even more surprised.
“Direful,” muttered Sigiz while thinking about the fate of the troops who were at war with another world.
“However, he's the country that Ilhiya and Ivy came to, they have a much more deadly weapon.”
Sigiz looked solemnly at the great astrologer and said, “Please tell me, what is such a deadly weapon?”
The great astrologer took a breath and tightly grasped his staff then said, “Union of its citizens. The citizens that Ilhiya and Ivy came to had a very strong union. They are willing to sacrifice their lives to fight the enemy. Although not all citizens of that country have such courage, but those who have a strong sense of unity are not few.”
Sigiz did not seem to understand the words of the great astrologer until he tilted his head.
“Did they go to war with the country's army?” ask Sigiz.
“Not only by war, all they do to make their country free from threatening enemies. Although the state of the other world is also threatened with a major war, but that sense of unity is what makes their country feared by other countries in the world,” said the great astrologer with a solemn face.
“Then, are the young warriors in the prophecy also very strong?”
“Yes, he's a very clever but weak knight with figures.”
Hearing that, Sigiz looked slightly smiling and said in his heart, “I really want to meet him.”
