Highest Place!
The Village In The Middle of the Death Desert, Part 2

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Hearing this cry, Rudy who was sitting cross-legged in his meditation, was startled! He reflexively jumped backwards so that the mini tent he was in was dragged along with him. Then the tent wrapped all over Rudy's body, he rolled there and came here on the sand like a pack of trash that was being blown by the wind.

Rudy continued to roll to the right and to the left, trying to let go of himself.

Inara should be shocked and confused, because when she woke up, she found herself in a state of being naked, but after seeing Rudy's current state, she even laughed off because of the incident.

"Xixixixixixixi . .. fufufufufu . sorry, sorry, I just unconsciously shouted, xixixixixixixi."((Nautical)

Inara laughed mocking Rudy who was in trouble, then Rudy who had managed to pull out his head, returned Inara's ridicule.

"Basic Boy! Sorry I didn't do anything before. Mmmmmm."(Rudy)

"Fufufufufufufufu.. fufufufu. .. fufufufufufufufufu"(Inara).

"Hmmmmm. Well never mind, anyway I'm not interested in fighting with the Little Girl either. Xixixixixixixi lots of food there, hushhhhhh!"(Rudy)

"Huuuuuuuu, yes, I was a child, Hemmmm."((Nautical)

"Fufufu, um, yes, are you okay? How you feel now, sorry, all this happened because of my negligence."((Rudy)

"Emmmmm. well, thank you. I'm already okay, eh? Have we crossed over?"(Nautical)

After realizing that they were currently in the forest area, Inara asked Rudy.

"Emmm, well somehow I made it through the ice storm. Do you feel no difference here?"(Rudy)

"Well, I think my breath's a little congested, hemmm."(Nautical)

Inara who was just wrapped in the blanket, stood up. Then he took a walk to see the forest area around him.

At this moment Inara also felt that her movements felt a bit heavy. And why Rudy asked, because indeed he had known about this before.. He was worried that Inara would find it difficult to adapt to the environment in which they are now.

Well, maybe because the Mana energy contained in the air here is much thicker, so this causes the air here to feel heavier compared to the center of the previous world.

Well, this is what limits the movement of the two of them.

It looks like Rudy and Inara will have to adapt themselves to the change immediately.

Resume...

Rudy, who had escaped from the clutches of the mini tent, was now sitting leaning under a tree. He was looking at Inara who was still busy walking around, but because he felt something strange, Rudy also spoke to Inara.

"Ehem, hey Inara? Before going around at least put on your clothes first. Ahem, don't add to the difficult life of a fine man like I am, ahemm."((Rudy)

Since Rudy knew that Inara was wearing nothing at the moment, he reminded Inara and told her to put on clothes immediately.

"eeeeee? Well, sorry! I'll be wearing my clothes soon."((Nautical)

Hearing Rudy's words, the embarrassed Inara immediately hurriedly picked up her backpack and disappeared behind the trees.

"Sek' sek' sek' sek" (illustration of changing clothes)

After putting her clothes back on, Inara walked towards Rudy. Right now Rudy was sitting leaning back with his eyes closed like he was asleep.

later then...

"Puk puk puk puk"

Rudy heard the sound of steps approaching him, he opened his eyes and saw that Inara was already nearby.

"Ehem, well, there's no need to think about it, I'll take responsibility!"(Rudy)

Rudy immediately said something a little strange to Inara, but the clever Inara immediately knew the meaning of Rudy's words.

Then Inara replied to Rudy.

"Emmm . . Yeah, thanks for keeping me."(Nautical)

"That's my obligation. Hemmm, yes, I will release my psychic form to see the settlement in the middle of this Oasis. You just eat first, you keep my body here, ok?"(Rudy)

"Yes.."((Nautical)

After saying these ambiguous words, Rudy sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate and focus his consciousness.

Right now, Rudy seemed to have let go of his psychic form.

While Inara who was nearby was still a little blushed because she heard the words of Rudy just now.

Inara emboldened herself, she brought her face closer to Rudy's face and kissed Rudy's right cheek.

After doing so, Inara timidly sat next to Rudy's body while eating the canned food they had prepared beforehand.

From distance...

Rudy who was just a psychic form saw clearly the scene performed by Inara just now!

He muttered in annoyance, "Based on a jerk's body! Enjoy such pleasure alone. Hemmmmm, motherfucker!"(The Psychic Rudy)

Rudy was upset that his first cheek kiss had been snatched away by a figure that was his own body!

Then while still complaining, Rudy's psychic form also flew to continue his spying activities.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Somewhere else?

Inside a large room, about 30 people were gathered in front of an Altar. They are seen praying to 2 figures of Gods that they believe in.

Well, in the Altar there are two statues that stand upright, with a large bell hanging on the pole that is right between the two statues.

Lt then?

A young man who was about the same age as Inara, broke the silence of this place. He asked the old man who seemed to be the leader of them.

"Cyral Head? Why else would we survive in this arid desert. The rest of the people have long left us but why should we continue to pray to the sky while the God or Messenger never comes again. It seems like even they have already left us! . . . Tribal Chief?"(Youth)

After hearing the complaint from the young man, the old man glanced at the young man and sighed.

"Heeemmmm, guarding this place has been the duty of our tribe since tens of thousands of years ago. We cannot ignore this task because it is a task that God has given to our Tribe!"((Chieftain)

Hearing the answer from the Chief, the young man continued his complaint in a slightly loud tone!

"Grandfather! Until when else we have to survive in this arid desert! It's been over 2000 years since God didn't come to bring an Envoy from Heaven, right? mere."((Youth)

"That's enough! Please get out of here, now!"(Chieftain)

After the young man left, the hall went back into silence and they continued their prayers.

Well, this settlement in the middle of the desert is the residence of a tribe that has been assigned as guards by the Gods since ancient times.

Precisely it was since the evacuation process carried out by the Humans and Elves from this side of the world tens of thousands of years ago. It was this tribe that had been commissioned by one of the Gods to guard this area.

But because 10,000 years ago the connecting tunnel was closed, the evacuation process of the Humans and Elves was stopped. But about 5000 years after the tunnel was closed, another God Figure came again to this City.

Well, it's a fragment of the psychic form of the god Ildraiz.

It was the arrival of the first God Ildraiz to bring the Chosen One from the central world here. And since then this tribe was given a new task by the God Ildraiz, which is to help the Messenger who came from the center of the world to overcome the ManaCube problem in the connecting tunnel.

This oasis was once a Stopover City for humans and fairies before they crossed over to the central side of the world. But after the orders of the God Ildraiz, the oasis changed its function as a city of residence for the Emissaries during their work.

Resume...

This small Oasis area was once a vast forest with the Big City standing right in the middle of it. It used to be an important symbol that signified the border between the two sides of the world.

But unfortunately this place has now become a barren wasteland!

The once vast forest and the great city had disappeared slowly covered in desert sand over a thousand years ago.

The people who used to be residents here had also gradually gone to other places that were more worthy of continuing their lives.

And now, in this continuously narrowed Oasis area, there are only about 200 people left. They were all the remnants of the tribe members who still survived and continued to guard this forgotten place.

Well, even though they all have to live in distress every day, they still survive here because it is a task that their tribe has carried on since ancient times.

What is clear is that this guardian tribe has lived in agony for a very long time due to the duties of the God.

Back to Rudy.

The psychic form of Rudy is currently going around observing the state of the settlement and the residents in this Oasis. He looked at the old houses made of stone and many of its parts had been crushed into rubble. The debris is scattered in the Oasis area, even most of the ruins have also been submerged in the sand.

After seeing all these things, Rudy breathed his breath and muttered.

"Hmmm. It's definitely an undeserved place, right? How can they raise children well in an area like this, hhhmmmm?"(Rudy's thoughts)

Rudy was very concerned to see the lives of the people who were here.

Then Rudy continued his observation, until he suddenly stopped because he had heard something that made him shocked!

"Eh? Do they speak the same language as me? Hemmmm, it seems like a common language is an official language that humans have been using since ancient times, yes. Good then, hemm?"(Rudy's thoughts)

Because Rudy is just a psychic form, so between him talking and thinking it makes no difference.

Resume.

After learning that the language used is the same, and there is also no dangerous or strange thing about the residents who are here, Rudy also intends to return to where Inara is.

Rudy flew low over the dilapidated settlement while continuing to observe. Then he passed a large building that stood firmly in the middle of the residential area. This building does look rather striking when compared to the situation of other buildings in this area, but Rudy did not really care and continued the flight.

Then unexpectedly.

"Teng' . . . ' . . . ' . . . ' . . . ' . . . Teng' ...?"

The sound of a loud bell echoed throughout the Oasis area.

And in the hall where the great altar and bells were.

Right now the old man who was the leader of this tribe was jolted and his entire body was trembling because of this incident! He even doubted whether what was happening now was a dream. Then hesitantly he looked at all the other tribe members to see if they were also witnessing the same thing as him.

Because according to the records descending from their tribe, it is said that the big bell that is above the Altar has never sounded since 2000 years ago.

So it was obvious that they all doubted their reality after witnessing such a historic event as it happened now.

After being aware of reality, the Chieftain immediately kowtowed and cried in front of the God's altar. This then makes all members of the tribe who saw it confused, because they do not know what the bells mean.

Indeed the story of the Great Bell was only passed down by the Chieftain of the previous generation to the Chieftain of the next generation, and it continues until now.

According to the records and stories that have been passed down, it is known that the big bell is a magical artifact that will automatically toll when the figure of God is near it. It is also inscribed on another ancient record from 5000 years ago, before the figure of the Envoy from heaven came here, there will be a figure of a God who comes first to this Altar to deliver his message. And the arrival of the figure of the God will be marked by the tolling of a large bell that is on the altar of this offering 7 times.

But strangely at this time the big bell only tolled 6 times. And after that there is also no message from the Gods as to what has been recorded in the ancient records.

Indeed, the current events are slightly different from what the chief knows, but he did not think too much about the differences, because at this time he was feeling very happy.

While still prostrating, the Chief looked up at the bell with tears of gratitude that drenched his old face.

Then he screamed emotionally.

"Mhhh . . . This is a sign of the coming of the gods! The gods have not forgotten our tribe! Praise be to the God of Heaven, Praise be to the God of Heaven!"(Chieftain)

"Cyral Head? The Chieftain? What exactly happened?"(Guards)

Looking at his Chieftain who was shouting while crying, a burly man who was about 30 years old asked the Chief. The man doesn't know what's really going on right now.

But without giving any more explanation, the Chieftain immediately gave orders to the burly man.

"Quickly gather all the remaining members of our tribe here! All of them! For the gods have come to us.."(.Chieftain)

After hearing the astonishing words from his Chief, the burly man immediately ran towards the residential area to inform all the members of the tribe about this incident.

This obviously caused quite a stir among all the remaining members of the tribe, they all immediately went towards the large building where the sacrificial altar was located.

After all the members of the tribe had gathered in the hall, they all sat down with wisdom and listened to the words of the Chief. After her they all began to be busy to prepare a celebration ceremony for the arrival of the God and they also prepared to welcome a Messenger from heaven who would soon come to their village. They all make preparations with great joy because the long wait of their tribe will finally pay off now.

But unfortunately Rudy did not know about the ongoing events in the settlement. Now he had returned to his physical body and was explaining all the things he had witnessed to Inara. And after discussing, Rudy and Inara decided to enter the residential area later that afternoon.

Seriate...

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

description of the novel:

The huge bell that sits on the altar is a magical artifact that is usually used to measure the psychic energy capacity possessed by the Gods.

Well, that means this bell only resonates to psychic energy.

But more important is how much psychic energy is needed to move and ring this bell even for 1 time?

And an additional note: psychic power is one of the other forms of change from Mana, but psychic power is generally only possessed by the Gods and their messengers, as well as all the beings living above the heavens!
