Landria: The King of the Criminals
Chapters 13. Anchord Arch

-- Out of the Soul Realm/Soul Realm

"Cloth,.." A slap .

"The commander of what you're doing." Ragil felt his cheek until there was a lump on the cheek. His cheeks must have been slapped several times. "Look at my cheek until it's swollen like this."

"You finally realize it too." Sarr seemed to want to slap again, as an impingement of his frustration, but in his words. "You can't die unless I kill you."

"Sir what happened to you?" Arbakir behind Sarr looked very anxious.

Ragil looked around to see where they were. They landed somewhere. Where not. Ragil, who was still in a state of confusion because he just woke up on the plane, continued to feel his swollen cheeks and pain.

Sarr and Arbakir were outside the plane staring at him who was still sitting inside the plane with a strange face.

"What's really going on. Why are you such crazy people."

"Plac... " A slap again quickly and inevitably.

"You must keep your promise not to kill yourself in the realm of the soul." Snap Sarr. His index finger stretched out in front of Ragil's face. His eyes bulged as if his eye seeds were about to come out of his petals.

"Why did you want to kill yourself? It is more honorable to die in a fight than to commit suicide. It's a despicable act for warriors like us." Arbakir showed his fierce face.

"Killed yourself?"

They thought they wanted to kill themselves. After feeling his hands and clothes wet with blood, then Ragil realized that this turned out to make his two traveling colleagues misunderstood.

There's a blackened blood patch. There was a scratch wound on his hand that started to dry up. He looks like someone is suicidal.

Apparently the wounds and blood that gushed in the soul realm turned out to also have an impact on real life.

Sarr landed his plane when he saw Ragil's body covered in blood. Then Sarr made a quick landing in a nearby and safe area.

"I warn. Don't do anything stupid again "Threat from the Commander while boarding the plane again. "You can't die before I let you. You also have a task you haven't finished."

The plane is back in the air. They're heading back to Phanouel.

...-----------------...

While at the same time at the campfire where Ragil and Sarr last ate soup, Arch and his group were at the scene.

Arch was groping on the ground for information from that location. Like a seasoned detective, Arch investigates every inch of land.

"They just left this place." Say Arch while fumbling with dust and firewood. "About 40 to 60 minutes ago. It still feels warm."

"Where do you think they're going" the middle-aged man with the bandana in his head, asked.

"He went up the hill. There's a former foothold there. Try Prince Hammerdat on the hill."

A young man called Hammerdat did as the Arch commanded.

"good. Arches." Hammerdat's back appeared a pair of magic wings then he started flying up the hill."

"Hey. You treat the Prince like your maid." The man in the bandana grinned.

"Uncle Dupp. Don't think like that. The only one who can fly is him. Unless Uncle wants to use Uncle's duplicate flying magic."

"I won't cast flying magic before anything matters. Because my flying magic is 30 minutes of use." Answer the person called Dupp or his full name is Vacuum Dupp.

"Who are you duplicating your flying magic from? So that you keep it with affection to get out. Is it from a woman?"

Vacuum Dupp is a duplicate wizard. Duplicate the magic of the person at his touch. Magic type Touch.

"It's not. It's just that this flying magic is a little different from the other flying magic."

"If I had not guessed wrong, Ragil would have flown with Arbakir who became his servant. Doesn't the Dragon Tribe have the Summon Beast ability." Arch is assuming.

Shortly thereafter, Hammerdat returned. His face showed anxiety.

"No way." Arch was a little surprised. "How can you be sure there's a former capsule ship."

"A lot of grass there used to be pressed heavy objects with shapes like a Capsule Plane."

"Has he been captured by the military?" Dupp.

"Did Ragil accidentally find a capsule plane hidden here." Hammerdat added.

"If you see the soup spill and the footprints here it looks like the Valkirie Killer deliberately came to visit Ragil. The No 1 is likely to come visit him. Former commander of Ragil." The Arch groped every piece of land around to get information.

"The footprints there were two former people walking and one of the footings felt heavier. It's possible that Ragil is carrying his servant." Arch tried them.

"Although Ragil was great in terms of arrays but in such strength he was unable to lift people up while climbing the hill." Hammerdat.

"The footprints were clearly traces of two shoes. One of them is women's shoes with a more pointed back end. While the Dragon Tribe uses sandals that are tied. Footprints sandal only exist from under the mountain to here only. But on it there was no trace of sandals. Means the one in the cut is the Dragon Tribe."

"Please say your words are true. Where they go." Dupp tested the reasoning abilities of Arch. Which he did know and knew as the Bounty Hunter of the three Royal Guilds.

"East Ke. Because if they go south or north, they will be seen by us who come from the West. But if he's going east, flying low can cover our sight."Answer Arch.

"Wouldn't the destination be Amaraa Land in the South. Why are they going East?" Hammerdat still does not understand the situation.

"There are two possible reasons why they went east. First Valkirie orders No 1 to take Ragil to the East on a mission related to the Eastern kingdom and possibly to the two Ragils who have plans to the East. The footprints of Ragil and Arbakir below the hill show them towards the East. Because if you just bring Ragil to military headquarters then the plane must fly into the sky to join the CLOUD Large Aircraft. Fuel capsule planes can't travel far to get to Military headquarters in the South." Arch explained.

"It's no use if you're called the Three Kingdoms Pay Hunters." Praise Dupp while stepping down the hill. "Let's go East."

*Actually a bit lazy to the East if you have to pass through Binoang in Phanouel Valley." Hammerdat.

"That's it... Binoang is just a cockroach, no need to worry." Dupp grinning.

Thus the three of them went down the road to Timut.

Why the Arch is called the Three Kingdoms Pay Hunter. Due to the status of the Arch in the Guilds of the Three Kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Ulgar, the Kingdom of Nulubez and the Kingdom of Argag were recognized as Senior Pay Hunters.

In each Kingdom there are Guilds that manage the search for bad people who are capitalized from the local kingdom for the security of the kingdom.

An expert in magic usually makes money by hunting criminals who have been rewarded with a large number of gold pieces. The greater the crime of the person, the higher the price.

Every fugitive and type of job is usually attached to the Guild wall so that a hunter can see who is a fugitive or what kind of job the Guild offers.

So the hunters always look up to the Task wall to find the kind of job he thinks he can afford.

But Arch was unlike any other hunter who came to the Guild to search for orders by searching the walls for information anyone offered to hunt. Arch was specially invited by the Guild to search for a high-class fugitive. Arch is considered a veteran hunter.

A seasoned Hunter was usually given a special Guild Token in order to easily enter the kingdom without much interrogation from the doorman. Not as a local royal.

Until one day Arch managed to catch a high-class fugitive from the kingdom of Argag who was none other than Uncle of Hammerdat who rebelled. From then on, Hammerdat admired Arch so much that they became friends.

In the end the Guild of the kingdom of Argag invited Arch to capture Ragil alive to be brought to the kingdom of Argag with the offer of a large number of gold pieces. The order was directly from King Hammard himself. Since Arch also had his own interests with Ragil, then he agreed to take on the task.

King Hammard, who had a good relationship with Arch, also sent his son Prince Hammerdat to join the Arch so that his son could learn more from this experience.

That's why Hammerdat could be with Arch.

Who Arch really is. As we know Arch is a spy who works for his father, General Anchord Bald who works for Valkirie.

Arch established good relations to each kingdom solely for his spy work. So it is not surprising that one day the relationship between Arch and Hammerdat could end up becoming enemies quickly because everything he did was according to his father's instructions.

Like the thing with Ragil and Arch. On Treasure Island they were actually good friends. But suddenly Arch became an enemy of Ragil when Treasure Island was attacked by the Military.

Arch's main job is a spy working under Bald's orders, so whatever his father's orders will be done.

The relationship between Arch and Bald is not a relationship between children and parents, as Naery Sarr has said, but it is still unclear.

But judging from its name Anchord Bald and Anchord Arch clearly have a family relationship.
