New Adventure
The second Viards
"Well, now I understand what I have to do."
...****************...
Sero has got almost all the information he needs. About this world and about Viards he already knew.
Sero realizes something from the story and can be concluded from the book Viards written by Sidura, that there is no way to know what kind of power Viards have, the power must be sought out by the Viards themselves.
Sero remembered something…
"Oh yeah, I forgot I haven't borrowed that file to Mr. Aumus."
Sero was about to stand up from his chair…
"Where are you going?" Ask Marlin.
"I forgot I have important business at the moment. I'm first yeah." Answer Sero.
"Yes, I'll see you." Marlin.
Sero exits the library and heads to the warrior training camp to meet Mr. Aumus.
On the way, Sero had seen a group of people dressed in thin and dirty chains. Most of them are women and children. They were treated harshly by the big men around them, they were yelled at and reviled.
One of the big, bald men whipped the back of a man chained in front of him,
PRAKKKKP….
He was in pain and tried to hold his voice.
They were forced to get on the train immediately.
"Are they prisoners? why are they treated so harshly."
After everyone got on the train, the train left immediately.
"Don't they be slaves."
If they are slaves, their fate is very unfortunate.
Take Sero to the Royal Warrior Training Camp.
There was the sound of screaming from the soldiers, they were so excited by the practice.
It was seen that Lord Aumus was supervising the training of the soldiers.
Sero approached Mr. Aumus.
"Excuse me, Mr. Aumus." Sero Say.
"What's up, son." Aumus.
"Can I borrow the files and crates from that time?" Ask Sero.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to bring it to you. Come with me take it." Aumus.
Sero follows Mr. Aumus into a room to retrieve the archives.
Sero asked on the street…
"Sir Aumus, on the way here I saw many people dressed in broken, thin, dirty chains, who were they?" Ask Sero.
"They are slaves." Answer Aumus.
"It's true."
"why did they become slaves?" Ask Sero.
Aumus explains that there are several factors that cause being a slave.
First, not being able to pay debts.
Second, losing the war, the winning side can make the losing side as slaves.
Thirdly. Robbery, victims of robbery can be kidnapped and then used as slaves.
Fourthly. Descendants, one would instantly become a slave if born from parents who were also slaves.
This system of slavery has existed since the beginning of interracial warfare. The whole kingdom and the whole population will be made slaves if they lose the war. This system continues to this day.
Sero put on a concerned face.
Put them in a room.
"This is my private room, I used to rest here." Aumus.
A simple room with work desk facilities, bookshelves, beds, and some displays.
Mr. Aumus took the files and the crates at his desk and gave them to Sero.
"It." Say Aumus while giving archives and chests.
Sero took it and then looked at the entire writing, there was no doubt that this was indeed English writing.
"Translate." Aumus.
...****************...
For the next Viards.
How are my brothers, may you be well and may the above always give you a hint. I won't beat around the bush and will go straight to the core.
I'll only tell you some of the information, because I'm afraid this letter will fall on the wrong person. For other important information, you can get in the adventure you will face.
Every Viards called will receive an edict from the caller. Accept the good word and reject the bad. The caller is the source of all the information you need. Viards have special powers, and those powers you have to find out for yourself, because each Viards has their own special powers.
Near this letter was a chest sealed with a soul-type seal. To open it you need to insert your soul and drain your consciousness into the seal. I've arranged it so that only Viards can unseal it.
An easy puzzle for you "Drugs don't mean dead, Red always points in one direction, Just a bunch of wood but livable, has a different sound."
I've made some changes to this world, and to achieve it requires hard work that doesn't play. There is a possibility that the task or problem you will carry later is much heavier than me. Fix the world and do what needs to be done. Do not hesitate in making decisions and take more convincing.
Great adventures await you and your story will be known to the world.
I hope you do all you can for the sake of this world.
Prosperous greetings.
Snyzel Kofri's.
Additional notes :
Take my relics as a gift from me to you.
...****************...
"It looks like this is indeed Snyzel Kofri's handwriting, he is the second Viards." Aumus.
"Yes, I've read the story in the library." Sero Say.
"Good then, I think you should open the box first." Aumus.
"How is it?" Sero Say.
"hold the chest with your palm, close your eyes and imagine and feel as if your soul and consciousness entered through your hand into the seal. You'll know what to do inside the seal." Aumus.
After getting an explanation from Mr. Aumus, Sero immediately practiced it seriously.
With a high focus, he could feel as if he was entering into a seal.
A while later Sero fainted, indicating that he had made it into the seal.
When he was about to fall, Sero's body swiftly held Aumus.
...****************...
"Ohhh...."
Sero opened his eyes…
He is already in the Seal of the Soul.
"What should I do?"
Shortly after, a bright yellow light approached him. The light stopped right in front of Sero.
"Who are you young?" Ask the light gently.
"I'm Sero Hotaru." Answer Sero.
"Are you a Viards?" Ask Light.
"Yes, I am the third Viards." Answer Sero.
The light was silent for a moment. Then suddenly the light quickly entered Sero's body.
...****************...
"Yyyyyy." Sero took a breath.
Sero woke up.
"How's it?" Ask Aumus.
"There's light coming into my body." Answer Sero.
"Good, that means you got permission to unseal it." Aumus.
Sero stood up and opened the casket, apparently the contents…
"What is this for?" Ask Sero.
"I'm sorry I can't help you right now, because I'm carrying out the king's orders." Aumus.
"No matter what Mr. Aumus, maybe I can solve it myself." Sero Say.
Sero and Mr. Aumus came out of there and headed out.
"Why is it just a key, what is this key for."
"There's no other choice, I have to solve the puzzle immediately."
After being outside, Sero immediately walked to a tavern to eat.
"i have to fill my stomach so that my brain is more diluted."
Enter Sero into a small diner, he orders food, while waiting for the order he rereads the puzzle of Snyzel Kofri.
"Naked does not mean dead, the red always points in one direction, Just a bunch of wood but liveable, has a different sound. What does this mean?"
"This is your order, sir." Maid.
"Thank you." Sero Say.
While eating food, he put a letter in his pocket, then thought about what the answer to the puzzle was given by Snyzel Kofri.
"Come on, solve the puzzle, what's the answer."
"Dead does not mean dead, it means he is dead but still alive, dead what it means…"
"Hmm, fall…"
After thinking hard, Sero finally found the answer to the first sentence.
"It seems that the fall referred to here is a tree whose leaves fall, It is true that the leaves of the tree fall but the tree remains alive."
"both red ones, yes, always pointing in one direction…"
"Maybe this means a red needle on a compass that always points north."
Most likely this puzzle is a clue to somewhere.
"Just a bunch of wood but liveable, this is definitely what a wooden house means."
"Have a different voice…"
"The answer to this sentence may be an answer pointing to some hidden place."
"In conclusion, the first sentence cannot be on one tree, the more reasonable possibility is the forest. The second sentence is the direction of the forest in question. Third in the woods there's a house. The fourth may be a clue to a hidden place."
"The first step I have to go to his place."
"Tomorrow I must see Mr. Mazo."
Not feeling it was dark, it was time to rest, Sero went out to immediately go home to the inn.
Some stores began to close and merchants began to pack their wares.
It is really a quiet and peaceful place, in contrast to the place where he lives which is sometimes always noisy because of the sound of vehicles.
Stay in the inn, as usual on the first floor many people who are eating big and drunk.
"Oh yeah, lately I haven't seen them, where are they going?"
Sero headed to his room on the second floor and rested.
The next day, Sero headed straight for Mr. Mazo's house to ask him some questions.
When he arrived, he knocked on the door and was invited in by Mr. Mazo.
Sero asked…
"Mr Mazo, I heard you used to travel with someone named Sykof right?" Ask Sero.
"Yes that's right, how do you know?" Mazo.
"Mira told me." Sero Say.
"That's it." Mazo.
"I've read a book about Viards in the library, I think there's a gaffe in Sykof's name." Sero Say.
"It seems you've already noticed." Mazo.
"Yes, Sykof stands for the second Viards name, Snyzel Kofri." Sero Say.
Sero tells me everything including a letter, a chest, and his puzzle. Mr. Mazo also explained everything he knew to Sero including the place where Snyzel Kofri had once lived.
"Why didn't you tell me a long time ago" Sero said.
"I'm sorry, I still doubt you at the time." Mazo.
All the information was clear, now Sero just needed to act. It's decided, Sero will go towards the place as it is being riddled alone.
"I think I should go there."Sero Say.
"Who?" Ask Mazo.
"alone." Answer Sero.
"You really mean it?" Ask Mazo.
"Yes, I really mean it." Answer Sero.
"Then take this" Mazo said.
Mr. Mazo gave two objects that were shaped like small trumpets made of horns.
"This is a rare magic item, use it if you are in danger or need help." Mazo.
"All right, thank you." Sero Say.
Of course before traveling Sero must prepare complete supplies. Mr. Mazo said that the place that may be referred to in the puzzle is a small wooden house that once lived Snyzel Kofri in the middle of the northern forest called the Demicaus forest.
The reason the forest was named Demicaus was because it was not a forest but a desert, until a goddess came down from the sky and gave blessings to the desert so that in a fast time the desert began to be overgrown with trees.
Sero goes to a store to buy supplies. He bought a large bag, magic items such as mana potion and health potion, as well as some herbal medicine.
At the shop Sero saw a black hooded robe.
"I think I need this cloak to fight the cold at night."
Sero bought the black cloak and bought two white and black cloths, as well as sewing needles and thread.
Felt all the equipment he needed already got, Sero went back to the inn to pick up the leftover items.
Sero plans to add black fabric seams to the front of the hood, so that the fabric can be used as a mask when wearing the hood of the black cloak.
Upon arrival Sero lured directly to his room and sewed his black robe.
After finishing sewing the robe Sero put it on and packed the goods and came out of his room.
Unexpectedly while walking down, Sero saw Zuyo, Xia, and Mira who had just arrived at the inn, then Sero met them.
"Hey, where did you guys end up?" Ask Sero.
"Hey long time no see, we finished completing the Quest escorting someone to the kingdom of Artanos." Zuyo.
"Where are you going with those clothes and gear?" Ask Xia.
"I want to go to the Demicaus forest." Answer Sero.
"For what?" Ask Mira.
"I have some business to do myself." Answer Sero.
"When we've just met but you're about to leave, take this you'll need." Zuyo.
Zuyo gave a metal rectangular shape with the inscription in the middle of it "Izin wanderer".
"What is this for?" Ask Sero.
"This is a sign of official permission to enter and exit an area, this is usually owned by traveling merchants, adventurers, and travelers." Answer Zuyo.
"Thank you very much, you guys are really very kind, someday I will definitely repay your kindness." Sero Say.
"Together, we're very happy to be able to help you." Zuyo.
"Then I'll go first." Sero Say.
"Hopefully lucky." Zuyo.
"Hopefully smooth trip." Mira.
"Be careful." Xia.
"Yes, I'll see you." Sero Say.
With strong determination and sincerity Sero is very ready both mentally and physically.
Without dodging and relying solely on knowledge and hope, Sero embarks on a journey towards the northern forest.
Sero put on his hood and said…
"This is my first journey in the world"
Can Sero travel alone? what things did Sero experience during the trip? will Sero survive the trip?
SERIATE.....
