Landria: The King of the Criminals
Chapter 43. Childhood: Arch, Ragil and Clown

The following days Arch always went with Ragil if you want to go to the house of the Goddess for Magic recovery. Ragil does have a regular schedule to meet the Goddess regarding the Dewi agreement with Ravalard. Because Ragil always came to the place of the Goddess either for meditation, or just made an Array or just channel light energy even to teach Ragil how to make an Ancient Array. So the opportunity was not released Arch to seek information and opportunities.

If we read the story of Ragil in Landria 1 then there it has been explained that Dewi Kumala has a pact with Ravalard to awaken the magic ability Ragil.

Three times a week, Ragil always comes to the place of the Goddess to make a magic array. But always the result is nil. Ragil has no tree of life. Ragil is not at all talented in witchcraft.

But the Goddess was not desperate, always teaching the Ancient Array to the child. Because there are some simple Ancient Arrays that do not need magic power.

The Goddess had planted the ancient Array into Ragil's body in order to absorb the light energy. The Goddess also always transfers light energy to Ragil's body in order to absorb the light energy in Ragil's body that has been created by the Goddess Array.

The results of the Goddess treatment were amazing. Ragil's first ability was Saul Watcher. Although the Soul Seer belongs to Ragil is still within a radius of two meters but this gives great joy to both Dewi and Ragil.

This is Ragil's initial ability. The boy is not playing. Many times he told Arch and Clown that he was a witch.

But his father who was told about Ragil's ability considered that ability was a useless trash Skill because it could not be used to attack. Dev Ravalard is an admirer of Long Range Attack Magic (Long Range).

Since the last battle with the three brats, Arch never again left Ragil if he wanted to go to the beach.

So they are always both on the beach even though they just look at the sea. Ragil and Arch's relationship is getting closer.

The three brats never bothered Ragil again. Because Arch is always next to Ragil when they go to the beach.

Once upon a time when Arch and Ragil were sleeping on the beach. Suddenly the clown came and fell asleep next to Ragil.

Ragil and Arch were initially surprised because the clown who was always alone now wanted to join them. Next they let the Clowns join in to sleep on the beach.

Since then, the three of them have been on the beach. They tell each other about their lives. But they never ask about each other's personal affairs.

Like his thing Clown who always wears the face of a clown and his penchant is only telling stories in pendopo. Or the reason Arch always invites Ragil to the house of Dewi Kumala. Or the reason why Ragil always comes to the beach staring at Landria.

Since then, they have become more familiar with the three. Always sleep on the beach together. And always Ragil is in the middle position when sleeping on the beach because the Clown does not want to be next to the Arch.

Ragil never realized that the Clown was actually a woman. Clown is a man.

One day Clown and Ragil were together on the beach. Arch is not with them. They just think that Arch is having business.

"This is the third time Arch hasn't been with us in a month." The clown conveys his anxiety. "The week before and the week before were not with us either. He comes and goes and comes again and then disappears."

"Sunday he said he would meet the Goddess. Maybe today too. I don't care about his business to the Goddess." Answer Ragil Per sekanya.

"Ragil. You have to be careful with Arch. Because I see him as if he had some ulterior purpose." At that time the Clown ventured to talk about Arch.

"Do you think Arch has bad intentions for me?" Ragil.

"I don't know. I am also still learning with my hearing skills. I heard her heartbeat change when Arch looked at Goddess Kumala. And I don't like seeing the look in her eyes when I look at the Goddess. Like trying to swallow life "

"Ahhhhh... Who knew she was in love with the Goddess, so her heartbeat changed." Ragil remained unsuspecting. "Every time we talk together, we often talk from heart to heart. I even saw him tear up while talking about his mother who was faint in his memory."

"I did feel her sincerity when I was with you. Even when he protects you from the attacks of bad boys. Through the beating of his heart I can feel hatred and resentment towards the three bullies. It's just..."

"What is it?" Ragil.

"Just when you're being worked on by those three brats, Arch doesn't come out to defend you. But instead hide behind a rock. When you were hurt, he came out. I think this is weird and suspicious."

"Maybe he's scared."

"No... I heard his heartbeat, it wasn't a feeling of fear. I know what a heartbeat is. When three bad boys arrive, you're scared. When you talk to your father, you're scared too. Your heart can only be calm when with the Goddess. It's as if the nun is the source of your inner calm." The clown moved his back to sit and stared at Ragil who was still lying on the white sand. "But Arch. He restrained himself when you were worked by the three children. His heart is full of anger. His hand emitted a lightning light as if it wanted to hit. But he just looked at restraining emotions. When a rock hits your head to knock you down, Arch comes out of hiding.""

"Do you think Arch has been pretending to be friends with me all this time?"

"Hehehe." Ragil misbehaved because it was read by Clown. He also shifted his back and sat on the white sand. "I'm glad you're talking to me honestly. Now how my sincerity is to you Clown and how your sincerity is also to me."

"Same. You had to be friends with me. That's why I'm brave enough to come near you first lf you don't then you'll keep moving away from me." The clown's face grinned displaying his white teeth. "Every time I see you, I can hear your heartbeat sound like it's jolting. So I'm always away from you, too."

"I'm sorry I'm a clown. I don't hate you. It's just that I look at you like I see a freak in a clown suit all day." Ragil felt that maybe that was what the three brats saw when they saw him who had no magic.

"Yeah... You look at me like you're seeing a crazy person." The clown's tone is high.

Suddenly Ragil's feelings of pity appeared. From his father Ragil knows that Clowns do not have parents. He was a kara then when he was a child in a pick-up by a clown who made a living by making stories in the village. Until one day this clown was invited by a nobleman to entertain in the castle belonging to the nobleman. At the same time Ravalard attacked the castle. The old clown died of heart disease. That's when Ravalard picked it up.

Given that, Ragil felt the behavior of clowns during this time because of the suffering he experienced. Ragil hugged the clown.

"I'm sorry and please don't be hurt. Ever since you were with us, I haven't seen you as a freak. I can understand your situation. I now know that we are both the same. Same weird people on this island. One has no magic and the other a clown."

The shocked clown was hugged by Ragil, initially willing to thrash but in his words. All this time everyone thought of him as a man. So too with Ragil. So he returned Ragil's embrace warmly without any guilt. They can even be more free to embrace it.

"I'm glad to see you on this island. You're with everything to your magic spark and the goodness of your heart." Ragil said again.

"Ragil. Promise me one thing. If you want to run away from this island, take me along and."

"definitely. Because we are friends." Ragil let go of his embrace.

"Don't let go of your embrace." The clown grabbed again and hugged Ragil. "You are my best friend on this island."

Ragil does not realize that the clown's heartbeat is racing. This is the first time a clown has been hugged by a man.

All this time the clown was on the hill is not to be alone lament sadness. But he came only to see Ragil. He has feelings for Ravalard's son. But hidden in meetings. Her heart was sad when Ragil looked at her like a freak.

One of the reasons he did not want to take off the appearance of his clown because he hoped to comfort Ragil.

Both parents of Clown died of plague when he was a child. His sadness is not much compared to Ragil who still has parents but like not have it. Even seeing his father's face alone made Ragil's heart beat in fear. A child who is afraid of his own father.

Clowns often think of Ragil. From compassion to wanting to be close. As soon as he saw Ragil and Arch on the beach while sleeping on the white sand, the Clown ventured to approach him.

Finally Clown is happy to be able to hear the heartbeat of this man in his tribe. Ragil's heart rate often changes, while telling stories. When laughing because of a funny story, when sad to tell about his mother, when he was looking at emptiness. When I was hopeful when I saw Landria in the distance. Clowns study every change in their heart rate.

Ragil hugged her. His heart is very happy. It was even a promise to leave the island together. Without feeling the arms of the Clown getting tighter because touched.

"My neck hurts." Ragil tried to stretch his embrace politely.

"I'm sorry, because it's so good that you're gonna take me out of this hell island together.

"Yeah... I want us to have an adventure with you."

Later Ragil only realized that Arch was not with them was coming to Dewi Kumala and looking for an opportunity to steal the Key Seal.

When the Goddess was healing the villagers in their house, that was when the Arch carefully searched the house of the Goddess. But never found the thing he was looking for. Many times I still did not find.

When the time of the Military attack, Arch told Dewi that Ragil was in danger. Unsuspecting Goddess follows Arch.

Next story we know through the story of Landria Session one.

After Arch's betrayal, they became resentful of each other. More precisely after Arch had revealed his secret as a Military spy had even intended to kill Goddess Kumala.

The character and nature of Arch changed 180 degrees. This was very difficult for Ragil to accept. They used to be familiar because they had loneliness together. Joking together. But now it was already the opponents who were trying to kill each other.
