Chapter 33
The curious Xenon, asked Valia, is there anything in the kingdom that can turn into an undead like a merchant just now. According to Valia, in his kingdom there were no undead and necromancy practices. Valia himself was confused as to where the undead they had met just now came from.
“It looks like from one of the other kingdoms again, we should ask this to Marlon ossan when going home later.” Xenon.
“Iya...many of which we now do not know in this world...” Ariana added.
“If I think, it may be from the kingdom of Magna, because there all kinds of magic learned and developed.” Lynx.
“Could be, yesterday the summoning of monsters and now undead, all related to magic..” Ariana's Reply.
“What exactly is the relationship of the kingdom of Granada and the kingdom of Magna ?” Ask Xenon.
“The mother of the first prince, my sister Lexius, was a princess of the kingdom of Magna, she was married to my father as a concubine to bind cooperation between the two kingdoms. I suspect that my sister Lexius is not a papa child, it seems that when she was adopted as papa's concubine, she was already pregnant and her second child, she said, that is my sister Julien is the original papa's son.” Answer Valia.
“Hmmm...Then it means everything becomes clear...” Xenon Reply.
“True, yesterday's troops and traders were all first prince's men.” Ariana added.
Valia remained silent and did not reply, Lynx pleaded with Xenon and Ariana not to say anything because he saw the condition of Valia. Xenon and Ariana gasped and looked down,
“Sorry Valia is the same, I'm less sensitive.” Xenon looked down.
“I'm also sorry Valia sama..” Ariana who came down.
“It's okay, Xenon kun, Ariana san..” Reply Valia.
The train continued to run fast to shorten the journey towards the capital.
*****
The day after her, from a distance the capital was already visible. Xenon and Ariana looked out of the window, the capital was a very large city that circled a large, wide and very tall tower in its center. The entire city was bounded by walls like a defensive fort, behind the tower there was a special district for the location of the palace, the government building and the military headquarters of the royal forces.
“Wow...that's the capital ?” Ask Xenon.
“True, oh Xenon kun and Ariana san new first time to the capital yes...” Valia.
“Yes, which tower in the middle is what tower ? the top is covered in clouds..” Ariana said while looking at the tower that rises to the top to behind the clouds.
“The tower is a dungeon of gluttony, a dungeon built by one of the gods of the 7 gods that exist, every kingdom has such a tower.” Reply Lynx.
“Hmmm...like lighthouse...but very large and high.” Xenon.
“Lighthouse ?” Ask Valia.
“Ah is nothing...sorry I said a thing that is not not.” Xenon Reply.
“I thought it was babel tower...” Ariana.
“Not, it's not babel tower...” Reply Lynx.
Hearing Lynx reply, Xenon and Ariana immediately turned to look at Lynx, they were astonished Lynx understood about the babylon tower that they were with from their world before her,
“Here is babel tower ?” Ask Xenon.
“There is, according to the oldest legend in the world, the goddess Seraphina lived in a babylon tower that until now was not known where it was located, so the tower was only considered a myth. Elazar san should know more about this..” Answer Lynx.
“Oh...Lynx san know Elazar?” Ask Xenon.
“Ah....sorry she is Lynx san, she does not know the situation now because she just freed from her confinement.” Xenon Reply.
“I have no problem, instead I want to apologize for the ridiculous behavior of those who dragged Xenon the same and Ariana the same into the arena, I represent those who are no longer there to apologize.” Lynx.
“Nothing what Lynx san, we understand his reasons.” Ariana's Reply.
“Thanks Xenon the same, Ariana the same, they must have calmed down there.” Reply Lynx.
After that, Lynx explained, to enter the dungeon requires permission from the adventurer guild that regulates access into the dungeon. Inside the dungeon were also several villages and small towns that were on every 20 floors. No one had ever reached the very top, so no one knew what was above the dungeon covered by clouds.
“Hmm means students can't enter huh ?” Ask Xenon.
“Can if you get a letter of recommendation from the academy.”Answer Lynx.
“We must enter into that dungeon..” Xenon.
“Before that, we met the leader of the rebel forces in the capital. I hope Valia equally understands the situation.” Lynx.
“I understand Lynx, take it easy, I've been able to overcome my sadness..” Valia said with a smile even though her eyes were still swollen.
Xenon and Ariana who saw her felt relieved and grateful Valia had recovered and returned to how she was. The train continued to run fast towards the capital, while the guards circled the capital and entered through the rear gate. Once in front of the main gate, Lynx and Valia immediately put on their veils to keep their faces out of sight, Xenon and Ariana sat by the side of the window opposite the side that the gatekeeper would check.
The carriage driver spoke to the guard, then a guard turned his head back and walked up to the carriage, he just passed through the window to look inside. Valia and Lynx sitting next to Xenon and Ariana are nowhere to be seen as Xenon and Ariana purport to be strangers in awe of the capital while showing their student cards. Once checked, the train is sent into the gate, but when it has walked through the gate.
“Hei...wait..”.
Two guards shouted and ran towards the carriage, their destination seemed to be chasing after the carriage.
“Aduh....were caught ?” Ask Lynx.
“Quiet only.....” Answer Xenon.
The coachman stopped the train and Xenon went down to meet the guards who ran to the train.
“What's up sir ?” Ask Xenon.
“Ah..sorry, I have not returned your student card..ini...” Said a gatekeeper while giving his card.
“If you are looking for lodging, I recommend that it is in the merchant district, its name is crazy boar, there are many adventurers like you who explore the dungeon and there is also close to the adventurer guild...good luck to you.” Said one more guard.
“Oh well, thank you sir..” Xenon said while looking down.
Xenon got back on the train and closed the door, then the coachman went back to running the train.
“Fiuuuh....” Ariana, Valia and Lynx breathed a sigh of relief.
“Now we look for rebel headquarters..” Xenon.
“Give me, I know his location...” Reply Lynx.
“Thank you Lynx san..” Ariana's Reply.
The train continues to enter the city that looks very large and very crowded with residents who are active.
