L A 5 - Shardptera City

L A 5 - Shardptera City

The territory of the Unrav Forest that became the Ghost hideout was besieged by the magic forces of the Floral Kingdom. With Jadon Shard and Clara Rochefort leading the force, they discover a ruined hideout with a ravaged Mars research lab, as well as the deaths of four Ghost members.

“Jadon, who did this?” Clara asked a man named Jadon who was holding Mars' body.

“Clara, I don't know myself. But you saw it, didn't you?” Jadon examined all the bodies whose bodies were difficult to recognize.

“I saw the shadow of someone flying right after we got in here. Do you think Qwerty from the Kingdom of Phoenix did all this?” Jadon said this was because he did not find the body of Qwerty who was one of Mars's confidants.

“The pad does not exist. It could be him who killed all three of them,” Clara said.

“This is very troublesome considering that the three Kingdoms in the Carta Continent agreed to reconcile and establish relations with the Kingdom of Avalon and the Kingdom of Phoenix. Not to mention the King of Avalon who was now completely different. She dominates.” Jadon held his head and let out a long sigh.

‘But if Qwerty did this, I find it hard to believe it. I fought with him once and he can still handle.’ Clara was deep and remembered how Qwerty was.

Meanwhile, Leo fled to Shardptera City, which was the territory of the Shard noble family. The reason Leo was heading towards Shardptera was because after interrogating Virgil, he wanted to get information about Queen Slyv saving Lea Avalon from the Shardpterans Guild or the other two large Guilds.

“The fastest way is to gain the trust of the nobles and make them want to cooperate with me.” Leo said as he landed on the tree and observed the scenery around him.

Knowing that he is still alive and in a different world, now Leo feels very grateful. He is given the chance to save Lea and protect her.

Leo's journey to the City of Shardptera arguably not experiencing obstacles. Several times he stopped in the countryside and heard stories from villagers if the situation in the Floral Kingdom was far from prosperous.

Discrimination against the commoners of the nobility was common in the Floral Kingdom and the out-of-bounds tributes also caused many rural famines.

“Guild witches will act if any villages do not pay tribute. Wherever I am there will be this kind of condition.” Leo sighed after spending the night in a village.

Then Leo continued his journey back to Shardptera City and stopped at Boiler Village for breakfast. There he meets a young man named Eugene who is seventeen years old and is about to travel to the Floral Capital in search of fortune.

“Be careful on Eugene's road. May you be accepted into the magic army.”

“Don't forget to eat regularly, Eugene. You're not worried about us here.”

The young man smiled warmly at the villagers and said goodbye to them.

“Then I leave. I'll miss you all.” After that Eugene left the Boiler Village and headed towards the Floral Capital.

It is there that Leo meets Eugene and travels together. Eugene tells Leo that being a magician is the only way to save his village. But over the past few years there has been bird news that people from the village have never returned after seeking their fortune to the city as a guild member or a sorcerer.

“For people like us there is not much we can do. We grow vegetables and fruits but we do not enjoy the strange results is not it?” Eugene.

“I think it's so terrible.” Leo responded and before long he sat down, ‘I feel a little guilty for killing a man named Mars.’

“Leo itself how? Surely you also want to find luck going to Shardptera City, right?” Eugene asked.

“No, Eugene. I just want to know something about the Kingdom of Sylv especially their queen.” Leo explained that the person who was very valuable to him was now there.

“Kingdom Sylv huh? Isn't that very far..” Eugene was a little surprised that Leo seemed to have no interest in finding fortune in the City at all.

“Do you want to go there?” Eugene asked.

“Ya, I want to go there.” Leo replied.

Afterwards Eugene explains to Leo that the Kingdom of Sylv is a kingdom whose entire population is a woman and they are all Elves.

Knowing this, Leo becomes worried about Lea's condition. But Leo soon gets valuable information from Eugene when the young man tells Leo about the Carta Academy which is on the third border of the Kingdom.

“I always dreamed of getting in there. But I was made aware by reality.” Eugene laughed wryly after saying that.

After that, the two continued on their way to Shardptera City. On the eve of the night they both reached the city and were constrained by administrative costs to enter the city.

Actually the administrative fee to enter the City of Shardptera is 5 pieces of gold, but the gatekeeper who is a witch member of the Shardptera Guild raises the tax price after knowing Leo and Eugene came from the village.

“How did you guys get inside? Only 10 gold pieces only.” One of the guards said while looking down on Eugene and Leo.

“Poor people should stay in the village only. If there is no leaving immediately,” said another guard.

Leo intended to use the Illusory Magic Technique, but Eugene acted first.

“I have 10 gold pieces.” Eugene took out 10 gold pieces and gave them to the guards.

After the guards allowed Leo and Eugene to enter Shardptera City. What Leo found in Shardptera City was a very different crowd to the village and the buildings inside looked magnificent.

“Wah..” Eugene looked amazed.

Leo looked at Eugene and did not know that the 10 pieces of gold Eugene used were his savings all along.

“Leo, we should spend the night in a quiet place. Looks like lodging here cost a lot.” Eugene laughed softly and walked towards an alley between the magnificent buildings.

Leo followed Eugene from behind and the two of them sat down while leaning against the wall of the building.

“Leo, I heard that lately the criminal group Ghost and Neptune are getting active. But Ghost is gone. I used to think that if King Marcus's younger brother was different, he formed Ghost and wanted to take over the throne because it was not in line with his older brother. But in the end all nobles are equal, the Ghost leader killed my father and raped my mother. So when I found out they were perishing, I felt very happy.” Eugene.

“Eugene..”.

Just as the two were about to rest their bodies for a moment, Leo felt an approaching air of existence. Before long a light from the lantern was visible.

“What are you guys doing here? Isn't it very here and it's midnight?” The silver-haired man in his forties asked.

Leo stared intently at the man while Eugene saluted and Leo soon followed him because Eugene told him to.

Eugene tells Leo that the white-haired man who comes to them is Laxus Shard and serves as the Guild Leader of the Shardpterans. In addition to having an influential position, the background of Laxus Shard is also very dominating because he is the younger brother of the head of the Shard family, Amaro Shard.

“Where are you from?” ask Laxus.

“We are from Boiler Village, Mr.” Eugene answered.

“Hmmm..” Laxus watches Eugene and Leo in turn before offering a place to spend the night.

“If you don't mind you two can stay at my house.” Laxus offers and surprises Eugene.

“But Tuan-”

“No need to hesitate. Let's follow me,” take Laxus.

While Eugene was directly following Laxus, Leo stood up and watched Laxus closely.

“This is weird..” Leo muttered before Eugene signaled him to immediately walk after him.

That night Leo and Eugene get an offer to spend the night at the Laxus Shard residence. What awaits them both there?
