LAZARUS REGULUS
Chapters 9. Lion Castle Town.
Lazarus had already made a contract with Ignis, he now felt his body grow stronger and the mana energy belonged to him more and more.
'I have already broken through to the realm of a four-star Grand Master? I also gained a lot of Skills after making a contract with Ignis.' thought Lazarus.
"Master I'm so exhausted. I'm going back inside the Draupnir Ring to rest and watch over Asterion." Ignis yawning.
"Alright, you should take care of Asterion. I'm afraid Asterion will break the Barrier if it's not under surveillance. Remember don't get out of the Draupnir Ring without my permission."
Ignis thanks Lazarus, then enters the Draupnir Ring. Although Ignis was inside the Ring Draupnir Ignis knew what Lazarus was doing through the soul contract.
"Well now I have to go to town for a long time I have not eaten human food." Lazarus murmuring.
Lazarus then used the Chameleon Mask Artifact to disguise himself. He knew that if his identity was known there would be a huge commotion.
Lazarus did not know who his enemy was. He didn't have enough strength to fight them. If he were to fight them right now would be tantamount to suicide. Especially Count Aaron Green and Viscount Vincent Burton, they had already broken through the Epic realm 30 years ago.
'I must rest tonight, tomorrow morning I will go to Lion Castle City.' thought Lazarus.
...****************...
The next morning, Lazarus went to Lion Castle City. The city of Lion Castle is in the territory of Marquis Edgar Allen. A region famous for its Magic Stone mines and various adventurer Guilds.
'I haven't breathed fresh air in a long time like this' Lazarus thought.
Lazarus continued his journey, enjoying the green scenery and the morning sun. It takes a 30-minute walk, to reach the south gate of Lion Castle City. He chose to land away from the City for fear that someone might see Ignis.
'As expected of the Lion Castle City around here no wild Beasts roam' thought Lazarus.
Lazarus felt a sense of pleasure, he was able to get out of that cursed place. But he doesn't have a single person he knows for now, he wants to make as many connections as possible.
A moment later Lazarus saw some adventurers who were looking for herbs. In fact, he saw the Elves and Beast Man cats that were there.
Lazarus approached them he had not talked to humans for a long time. The adventurers glanced at Lazarus who was approaching them warily.
The current appearance of Lazarus was like a strong person, he wore the Black Wolf Armor and carried the Silver Tiger spear. The long scar on his right cheek, long black hair and purple iris, made him look very foreign to the people of the Western Continent.
A Man of the Beast Man type a brown-haired cat and blue eyes approached Lazarus then said.
"Master. Are you from the Zephyra continent? I've never seen someone with black hair and purple eyeballs." The beast Man cat shouted from afar. He had not yet confirmed Lazarus was a good or evil man.
Zephyra was the name of the continent where Lazarus lived.
"I am from the Zephyra Continent but my mother is from the Zircon Kingdom, from the borders of the Zephyra Continent and the Golden Sun Continent." Lazarus smiled.
Knowing Lazarus was a good person, the Beast Man Man cat approached Lazarus, as he was a meter away from Lazarus he smelled the pungent scent of poison from Lazarus. The Beast Man's man immediately covered his nose and then walked away from Lazarus. The Beast Man's olfactory was very sensitive especially smelling the scent of poison or herbs.
All four adventurers took out their weapons. They thought Lazarus was attacking their friend.
"Stop!" The beastman shouted to stop his companions from attacking.
"Fane, why did you stop us? That man has already attacked you!" A blonde-haired Elf Girl said, pointing her bow and arrow at Lazarus.
"Alyssa, that man didn't attack me! however, the man's body was filled with various types of poison! Don't approach it more than 2 feet you'll be poisoned." The beastman named Fane immediately took out the poison antidote potion and drank it.
The adventurers holstered their weapons. At first they were worried Lazarus was attacking Fane but now can breathe a sigh of relief, from his appearance Lazarus is a strong fighter.
Lazarus smelled the scent of his body, he was already used to living in the depths of the Eternal Poison Forest. So he had also gotten used to the scent of poison, eating poisonous food as well as bathing and drinking with poisonous water.
The adventurers immediately went towards Fane. They're worried about Fane. But they were relieved nothing happened to Fane.
"Sir, did you enter the middle Eternal Poison Forest and still live?" Fane Asked.
"My name is Urs, I am an adventurer from the territory of Duke Zander of the Avalon Empire, I accidentally got lost in the Eternal Poison Forest while hunting down a Grand Demon Beast Poison Meticore, Now I'm poisoned and go to the nearest town for help." Lazarus knelt down elegantly he knew when he told the truth they would not believe him.
The adventurers were surprised. The Avalon Empire in the eastern part of the Lion Heart Empire was a 3-month journey around the Eternal Poison Forest. But if it passed through the Eternal Poison Forest it would only take a month's journey. Although, people thought it was just a rumor because if someone were to enter the Eternal Poison Forest they were already confirmed dead.
"Alyssa quickly healed the man. Don't you have poison neutralizing magic!" one of the human adventurers.
"Gerald I can only use this magic once a week. I can't cure that man for free." Alyssa smiled. "Urs do you have money for healing costs?" Alyssa smiled cunningly.
"I asked for ten gold coins, for medical expenses." Alyssa smiled.
"The Elf girl is just your pretty face, but you dare to deceive someone who is dying." another adventurer grumbled.
"The man hunted down a Grand Demon Beast Poison Meningicore. I think he is a Rank A adventurer. Ten gold coins was a cheap price for him." Alyssa answered.
Lazarus immediately took out 10 Gold Coins from Draupnir's Ring and threw them.
"Please... Heal me." Lazarus was pretending to be in a lot of pain.
"All right..." Alyssa smiled as she read her magic spell using Elf language.
Nature that gives life hear the song of the Elves, live the withered Flower. The Nature Of life.
A green-colored magic circle was created, The magic circle was formed from many complicated Elf Magic Runes. That magic is the unique magic of the Natur Elves Of Life 4-star magic.
Lazarus was covered by the green light he only felt a warm feeling of nothing special, after which he stood up as if he had recovered from his poison.
"Thank you for saving me." Lazarus smiled.
"Your Master Urs is so powerful, you can survive with that monstrous poison, and make it back alive all the way to the city. I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself my name is Fane, and those are my friends Gareth, Gerald and the Elf Girl who saved you is Alyssa." Fane pointed towards Alyssa who was picking up the gold coins.
"Mr Fane, I'm just lucky. Because I spent all my bidder Potions." Lazarus smiled.
Haha.
"I'm rich, I can drink to my fullest and gamble in a casino." Alyssa laughed out loud watching the ten gold coins in her hand. "Urs are you an adventurer traveling the world? In addition to Avalon gold coins you also have Terra gold coins and Lion Heart gold coins." Alyssa asked.
"I've traveled all over the Zephyra Continent and sometimes I've been hired by profit traders escorting them." Lazarus immediately made a reasonable excuse, he did not want his disguise to be uncovered.
"Do you have an identification?" Alyssa smiled as she looked into Lazarus' eyes. It was as if he was interrogating Lazarus.
"My identification tag is missing in the Eternal Poison Forest."
Alyssa then asked in the language of the Avalon Empire, "Are you a runaway criminal? Or an intruder? you are very fluent in the Lion Heart Empire." Alyssa smiled towards Lazarus.
"I am an Adventurer from the Avalon Empire, Old Elf are you an imperial agent? You interrogated me like a criminal." Lazarus answered in the language of the Avalon Empire. Having already entered into a contract with Ignis he understands many languages.
"You!" Alyssa was upset and pointed towards Lazarus face.
"Alyssa stop, we'll continue looking for herbs. Mr. Urs rest here with Alyssa. We'll take you to the City after completing the quest." Fane smiled then he, Gareth and Gerald went to continue looking for herbs.
"Urs who are you? How could an ordinary human who had yet to break through the Legendary realm, survive that monstrous poison? Even someone with Rank B poison Immunity skill would not last for a month." Alyssa said as she looked at Lazarus with a sharp look.
Haha
"I can't fool the eyes of the Moon Flower Witch. Alyssa Roxanne Von Galadriel's. Third princess of Yggdrasil Kingdom." Lazarus said with a small chuckle.
Alyssa who heard the words of Lazarus was shocked. Lazarus knew his real name and background. Few people knew Alyssa's real name and background in the Lion Heart Empire.
Alyssa immediately took out a dagger artifact from her scabbard. He wanted to slit Lazarus' neck immediately, but Lazarus caught Alyssa's wrist and slammed her to the ground.
"Junk! How do you know that?" Alyssa tried to rebel to let go of Lazarus' grasp.
"You look so beautiful when you look up close. Your golden-colored iris eyes are very beautiful. Why did you hide it behind your long blonde hair?" Lazarus teased Alyssa while smiling subtly.
"I'll kill you! Wait why can't I use magic? Your trash poisoned me. But I didn't see you poison me and the poison on your body was neutralized." Alyssa felt her body hot and numb.
"Alyssa, the answer is poison on gold coins. I can cure the poison in your body on one condition. We both made a deal."
"I'd rather die! Rather than making a deal with a despicable human like you!" Alyssa tried to bite her tongue.
Lazarus stopped him by putting his hand in Alyssa's mouth.
"This deal relates to Lazarus!" Lazarus says.
Alyssa, who heard the name Lazarus, fell silent. He hadn't heard the man's name in a long time. The name of a friend, a savior and a loved one.
