Solram Saga's
Chapters 10
During the trip, Xenon turned his head to look out the window, Ariana saw Valia who continued to pay attention to Xenon, he immediately moved next to Xenon and laid his head on Xenon's lap which automatically stroked his hair even though his face looked out the window.
“Hey...don't be disrespectful in front of the princess yes.” Lynx Tegur.
“Hah..” Xenon looked at Lynx.
“Already Lynx, it's okay, you're a friendly sister huh..” Valia.
“Who is sister brother ? we're friends.” Ariana.
“Oh...sorry if it's wrong...” Reply Valia.
“On the legend, when did the legend happen ?” Ask Xenon.
“According to stories from poets and poets, the legend happened about 1000 years ago.” Answer Valia.
“What ?” Shouted Xenon and Ariana who suddenly sat in her place back because of shock to hear her.
Xenon clasped Ariana's hand tightly, both of them not believing that they had been in the dungeon for 1000 years, maybe even more. Because according to the count Xenon made, they were in the dungeon for only 5 years. Ariana lay her head on Xenon's shoulders which immediately embraced her, it was hard for both of them to accept this reality. Seeing the reaction of the two, of course the minds of Valia and Lynx filled with question marks.
“Sorry, but can you tell me who you really are ?” Ask Valia.
Xenon and Ariana did not answer what, Xenon immediately turned to look back out the window and Ariana closed her eyes while leaning on Xenon's shoulder.
“Princess asks you guys..” Lynx Tegur.
“Sorry, but we ourselves do not know who we are, we have no memory, just hearing the story of the legend that was told just now makes us confused and there is a strange feeling that arises.” Replied Ariana who pretended to lose her memory.
“Oh so, then, let us help, Xenon san, Ariana san..” Valia said with a smile.
“Thank you..” Reply Ariana.
The train kept going and finally came out of the forest. Xenon and Ariana saw a vast expanse of grassland and a road that cut in the middle of it. The accompaniment of the train into the road, on the side of the road there is an arrow indicating the direction to the city of Fertus. Along the way, Valia and Lynx invite the two to talk, they also explain that Valia's goal is to enter the city of Fertus to enter the magic academy that is there, in addition to the magic academy, there was also an adventurer academy and a knight academy. If you want to explore the dungeon, you have to become an adventurer and attend an adventurer academy. Half a day later, when it was getting dark, the city of Fertus was already visible in front of them. Xenon and Ariana saw the city surrounded by a high wall and only had one entrance gate.
Upon reaching the gate, the guards checked the carriage in front and when they reached the carriage that Valia was riding on, the guards lowered their heads and let the carriage pass. Inside, Valia and Lynx ask the train drivers to drive Xenon and Ariana to the inn, then they also give some money to both of them to stay and a reward for helping them while in the forest. Once at the inn, Xenon and Ariana disembark.
“Thank you Valia the same..” Xenon.
“Sama Xenon san, later we meet again..we excuse you first now, see you again.” Reply Valia.
The train left Xenon and Ariana in front of the inn. The two went inside, they saw the atmosphere inside the inn that was concurrently a very crowded restaurant, many visitors were eating there and the waiters who were busy serving also delivered the orders of the visitors. A woman dressed as a waiter approached them,
“There can be helped ?” Ask her.
“Um...we both want to stay here....” Answer Xenon.
“Oh well, the price is 3000 gen.” Said the waiter.
Xenon took a gold coin from the bag that Valia gave him and gave it to the servant.
“Wah mostly, how many days to stay ?” Ask the waiter.
“Um...do not know, but that will surely be long...return it later only..” Answer Xenon.
“Alright then, please sit first in an empty place, we will prepare the room first.”
Without them noticing, the entire eyes of the visitors inside the restaurant looked at them with a cynical look. Some of them saw a bag of gold coins held by Xenon. When Xenon and Ariana almost reached the seat pointed at by the maid, a man they passed stood up and immediately confronted the two. A few men also stood up then stood behind the two.
“Oi, are you new people in this city ? I've only seen you guys, usually newcomers have to submit to the old residents right, where the coin pouch.” Said the big, burly man standing in front of Xenon.
“Hmm...mau rob us ?” Ask Xenon.
“Hahaha robbing ? you have to pay tribute to us right, why we rob you.”
“Oh so, sorry, I can't comply, excuse me...”.
Xenon pulls Ariana's hand and ignores the man in front of her, then passes her. But suddenly the man was holding Ariana's shoulder.
“Hehe wait, do not carelessly ignore me, where the money or this woman will I bring to have fun Said the man while chuckling.
“Gyaaaaah...what do you do women ******...” Shouted the man while holding his hand.
“Do not touch me carelessly..” Ariana.
“Already, they don't matter, come on Ariana, we sit..” Take Xenon.
“Iya Xenon...” Ariana's Reply.
Then they sat at an empty table in front of them. Many visitors and waiters who look relieved because the hordes of men who confronted them have come out carrying a large man whose hands are crushed because it was crushed by Ariana. A waiter approached them and delivered drinks, saying the men often rioted at the bar, but they could do nothing, because they came from among the noble and the students of the knight academy. Soon another waiter came back and brought food for the two. After saying thank you, the two immediately ate voraciously.
“This is so good Ayumu...” Ariana.
“Iya Rui...this is really delicious, although a little different from my cooking...” Xenon Reply.
“Hehehe your cooking is typical of the world we used to be Ariana's Reply.
“You prefer where ?” Ask Xenon.
“Two likes....” Reply Ariana.
The two ate while talking and unconsciously they talked in Japanese. Suddenly a middle-aged man sitting next to them turned his head and watched them. Finally the middle-aged man reprimanded them.
“Sorry, may I ask ?” Ask the man.
Xenon and Ariana turned their heads as they continued eating, they saw a man with a bald head, bearded and dressed as a professor's robe, greeting them with a smile.
“Um...iya, what is ossan (uncle) ?” Ask Xenon.
“Two of you, speak in the language of the gods ?” Ask the middle-aged man.
“Hah...god language ?” Xenon asked who replied in confusion.
“Iya, the language used by the hero in the legend which is the incarnation of 7 gods in this world...” Said the man.
Xenon and Ariana who heard it got more confused, but they became intrigued to know.
“Um...so the heroes in the legend speak our language?” Ask Ariana.
“Truly, I have a book in my office that we are translating, can you guys see that book ?” Ask the man.
“Um...who's ossan name ?” Ask Xenon.
“Ah sorry, I have not introduced myself, my name is Marlon, I am the head of the academy and researcher in the magic academy, may you know whose name is ?” Ask Marlon.
“My name is Xenon and I am Ariana Answer Xenon.
“Hmm normal name, I think your name is similar to the names of the heroes first.” Marlon.
“Indeed whose name is Marlon ossan ?” Ask Xenon.
“Founder of this kingdom, incarnation of God of Glutonny, Hirokuma Masashi.one of the 7 heroes who managed to defeat and imprison the goddess of evil.” Answer Marlon.
Xenon and Ariana immediately stood up to hear the name called, they were sure that the hero was from their world before him, but because they realized all the visitors saw them, the two returned to sit quietly.
“Seeing the reaction of the two of you, surely you know such a name...” Marlon said as he stroked his beard and smiled.
“Ah...honestly ossan, we both lost our memories...so suddenly the name made us aghast...” Ariana tried to divert Marlon.
“I see, to be honest I'm interested in you guys, how old are you guys?” Ask Marlon.
“Um...we are both 17 years...” Answer Xenon.
“Hmm 1 year late, but it's okay, will you guys come to the academy and go to school there ?” Ask Marlon.
Xenon and Ariana turned to each other and looked at each other after hearing the offer from Marlon.
