THE BLACK GOD OF DEATH
CH. 121

Xi raised it to Katashi, wanting to elevate the status of the Katashi family to a noble family. Upon hearing that, Katashi was obviously very surprised. The statement that arrived made him really surprised, as well as confused. Over and over again Katashi refused Xi's request to make him one of the noble families in Hallnas kingdom.

Because he continued to refuse, Xi also did not want to lose. He continued to persuade Katashi throughout the day without stopping, continuing to tempt Katashi with many benefits when he became a noble. By becoming a noble family, Katashi does not need to worry about the condition of his family, naturally the royal family will protect the people under him.

Hearing that his family's safety was assured, Katashi was silent for a moment. Reflect on what Xi has to offer her. Of course being a noble family is the most desired thing by many people, but to become a distinguished family is very difficult. Just a status alone would not be enough to make a noble become a distinguished family.

Some of the famous nobles have their own characteristics. First nobles with a very large financial status, in Hallnas country there are several families who become noble families because of the wealth they have. Second is the combat power, nobles with great and great combat power will be very reluctant by people, even kings can not underestimate the power of the nobility. And the last of course with achievements, and achievements - achievements that have been done, but this way is very difficult because only a few people can do it.

" Maybe it's not bad but... I have nothing to become a noble family, let alone treasure, a single guard I have none... " Katashi said to Xi with a feeling that was still hesitant to accept him.

" If it's about money and the guards don't get stolen, you can give it to them. However, the most important thing now was how to make you into a noble family that was different from the other nobles... " Say Xi to Katashi.

Katashi raised one eyebrow, looking at Xi with a puzzled look on his face. Just then, several monsters came attacking them, but all of those monsters stopped before they reached where Xi and Katashi were standing. All those monsters looked extremely frightened with a terrifying aura emanating from Xi.

That terrifying aura was like it was staring at them with a bloodthirsty look. It made them tremble in fear, until - to the point of making them sit still on the spot while trembling.

Katashi who saw the monsters trembled in fear when she saw the two of them, she felt strange as well as confused. Ask yourself, "What happened to them? " Task Katashi in a heart to yourself. I refer to the Steel Fang Giant who sat there quietly.

Looking back, glanced at the coldly frightened Steel Fang. " The right time... We will catch them, then tame them and make them mounts. " Said Xi.

Katashi could not hide his surprised face when he heard that it would make the Steel Fang Giant a mount. " What! Make them our mount? Wouldn't it be risky if they got out of control? " Katashi said as she asked Xi. He was a little worried that the Steel Fang had gotten out of control while on the ride. That Steel Fang Giant was a gigantic wolf Beast-type monster, and its Rank was C. If it got out of control, the person riding it would definitely get injured or worse they could die if it was weaker than the Steel Fang Giant.

Xi nodded in understanding at what Katashi was worried about. He knew that the Steel Fang Giant was a dangerous monster, even to defeat a single Steel Fang Giant, it required at least three or four Rank C adventurers due to its great strength and was difficult to drop.

To make a strong beast monster into a mount, of course, has a big risk. Because to have something very strong, must have the risk of each of them that will happen. However, behind the risk it must have its own benefits. There is nothing in this world that does not have risks, every step taken, must have its own risks.

Xi said to Katashi calmly "I know what you're worried about, but don't worry it won't happen. " Said Xi while giving a black paper to Katashi.

Katashi took the paper given by Xi. When holding it, Katashi immediately covered his nose with the other hand. There was a very pungent stench emanating from the black paper that Katashi was holding. The smell was like the smell of a carcass that had long since decayed.

" Ugh! What paper is this? This is so disgusting! " Katashi said while holding the black paper in disdain.

" Oh that... Only a beast scroll, a contract can tame a beast. " Said Xi casually.

Katashi heard that, as if she did not believe it. A paper whose stench was so terrible was a contract that could tame a beast. " The Steel Fang has at least 30, meaning only one of them can be tamed! " Said Katashi.

Xi responded quickly and said "No, you can tame everything! Just tame their leader, and all Steel Fangs will follow you. " Reply Xi.

" It's like that... All right I'll do! " Said Katashi who was not surprised anymore. This he felt he was used to being with Xi which could always surprise him. No, even every single thing Xi did, always took everyone by surprise.

Katashi took his steps to tame the leader of the Giant Steel Fang. He pressed his blood on the black paper he was holding, and mentioned the kind of monster beast he would be familiar with.

Steel Fang Giant when Katashi wanted to make it as his mount, not the slightest bit he fought back. At that moment, he lowered his head, his ears dropped down like an anj*ng. Subject obediently and acknowledge Katashi as his master.

When the leader bowed his head to someone. It means the submission of a leader to his new master. Just then, all of the Steel Fangs who were behind there, bowed their heads all to Katashi, acknowledging Katashi as their master.

" It really works... What Brother Xi said was true. I wonder, where did he get all this knowledge? Is it possible that he is the nuda master of a high-class family? " Katashi said in his heart. With heat he asked himself while guessing - nebak.

He really admired Xi a lot, not only as a strong person, but also as a smart and intelligent person. In his heart, Katashi always admired Xi every day, from the beginning they met, Xi always showed such an extraordinary Strategy. Even for a weakling to enter into his plan, they could defeat even stronger monsters.

" Are we going back home now? I'm so hungry! " Say Katashi asked Xi when they would be coming home. Seen from his happy face, but his stomach always sounds.

" all right... We're getting out of here! " Reply Xi used teleportation magic to bring the two of them back to sleep.

On the other hand, inside the inn. A white dragon boy was lying on the floor. The dragon was very sleepy, even he was not disturbed a little when there were some people talking nearby.

In the room, there were some people sitting on the soft sofah. One of the people was dressed neatly in a black suit that looked very elegant. Behind the man, there were two guards standing at the back. Wearing strong armor along with the royal coat of arms of Hallnas.

" Before, Mr. Light had come here to invite night tombs in the kingdom. And this time, I came here to invite you all to attend the dinner that will be held later tonight. I hope you - all of you can come to fulfill the invitation of the king. " Say the well-dressed man while giving a scroll that was the royal seal of Hallnas.

Airis saw that he let out his breath, this had often happened as long as Xi and Katashi left the inn. Meanwhile, Astia was also at a loss as to what to do since her master was not around. If he took it for granted, fearing his approval to accept the invitation from the king would create trouble for his master. Because of that, Astia did not take it for granted.

In that confused situation, a purple light appeared in the middle of the room. The appearance of the light made everyone in the room feel shocked. The two guards who were there, pulled out their spears at the light. From that light, there were two shadows of creatures that looked like they were going to come out from there. Everyone was prepared when the two appeared.

The purple light began to dissipate, revealing the true form of the two figures. The two were none other than Xi and Katashi who had just returned from the Magus forest. Everyone looked very happy when they saw Xi's return, especially Airis and Astia. They were both very excited when they saw Xi return safely.

" Sir, you're finally home! " Astia said happily to welcome Xi home.

When Xi looked around, it was clear that his white dragon was safe when he left it. The dragon was still asleep when Xi returned. At that time, he realized that his house was more crowded than usual, seeing someone dressed neatly with two bodyguards with him, Xi concluded that the man was a messenger from the kingdom.

" Oh... I don't see you sorry, are you from the royal family? " Task Xi to the neatly dressed man.

The well-dressed man replied politely, giving a friendly greeting to Xi who had just returned. Considering he was a guest, so he couldn't act as he pleased in someone else's house. Moreover, the place where he was right now was where the person who completed the Gate S Class was.

" Yes, I am the royal envoy. I came here to give you an invitation letter. " Saying a man dressed in a mute dress. Giving a scroll that had the official stamp of the royal family to Xi. " His Majesty invited you to a dinner party to be held tonight. His Majesty wishes you could attend the feast, for His Majesty would like to thank the hero lord who has been willing to save this country. " Advanced The man dressed neatly in a light tone. Every word of his was perfect and polite, not the least bit of the well-dressed man used a high tone.

Hearing that directly from the royal family's envoy. Xi had guessed it, because he believed that the king of the Hallnas kingdom would not be silent when he learned that the man who saved his country was still living in his country. However, Xi already knew the meaning of the dinner party hosted by the royal family.

" I didn't expect them to move this fast... " Said Xi in his heart. Received the scroll given by the neatly dressed man. The scroll the man gave was an invitation letter from the royal family, which would prove that he had received a dinner party invitation. " I get it, I'll come tonight! " Say Xi to the neatly dressed Man.

Hearing that, he was very happy. The task given by the King has been completed "Since you have received the invitation letter, then I will resign. I hope we can meet again later. " Say a well-dressed man politely. After saying goodbye, he and his two bodyguards left Xi's room.

The atmosphere became silent as the well-dressed man left. Seeing that the invitation letter was in his hands, the path to make Katashi a noble was already in sight. It just takes time and good fortune to help her.

" Look, now just wait for time. " Say Xi to Katashi.

At that moment, Katashi nodded. His face looked serious in response to this. Moreover, this was a huge opportunity for him. Opportunities don't come twice in his life. " I'll do my best! " Katashi said seriously and confidently.

Xi was happy when Katashi said that. In this way, the hadia given by the King will not be in vain. Rather than just throwing it away, he would rather give it to Katashi. " Good, you better not make a mistake, and do not be provoked by the talk of the other nobles when you are in the lantik. For a person from a lower class family and arriving - arriving at the foster of being a noble, naturally there would be many people who were envious of it. " Say Xi, while giving a suggestion to Katashi.

Katashi agreed on what Xi suggested. He would go to great lengths not to be lured into the useless ravings of the envious nobles.

" It seems like there was a lot going on when we left, did there have to be a lot of royal envoys coming here? " Task Xi to Astia and Airis has a situation when he is not at the inn.

Airis and Astia let out her breath, they were deeply troubled by the people who kept coming to them when Xi left. There are many people who come, even at night people are still looking for them.

" Not only the royal envoy but... The nobles also came. There were also some Guild Masters who had come here to invite Master to join them. And there were also merchants who came to buy Kazuki, even they were willing to give 10,000 gold coins to exchange for Kazuki. " Astia replied explaining what happened when Xi wasn't around.

Important and influential nobles in the Hallnas kingdom came to meet Xi. They all wanted to make Xi their personal Knight, with Xi in place, it was certain that their security would be assured. Due to the rumors about Xi defeating the Demon King, it spread very quickly to the ears of the nobles.

As for the incoming Guild Masters, wanting to get Xi to join their Guild was definitely to gain more power. Anyone who could recruit Xi into a Guild, they would definitely become the top Guild in Hallnas Kingdom. Everyone wants Xi to be on their side for their own benefit.

" Ohw... Is that like that? It must be hard for you to face them. But... Buying Kazuki for that 10,000 gold coins... That price is too cheap. " Said Xi. He was also a little sorry for leaving without telling Airis and Astia and the others. So, it makes them become disturbed continuously by the people of the kingdom. But he doesn't regret it too much either. Because now Katashi has become stronger beyond his expectations.

Meanwhile, Katashi who heard the price of 10,000 gold coins made himself surprised.1 gold coin was equivalent to 100 silver coins. If it was 10,000 gold coins, one could buy a luxurious house very easily.

" What! That 10,000 gold coins is too low? Shouldn't it be too expensive? " Shouted Katashi loudly. He was really surprised even with such a high price, in Xi's eyes it was still a very low price.

Xi confirmed by saying "Yes, that's very low. Even if they gave 10 jt of gold coins, or 100 thousand platinum coins, it was still not enough to buy Kazuki. " Reply Xi calmly.

Instantly after hearing those words coming out of Xi's mouth, Katashi's body immediately went limp and pale. Even his soul was almost lost in surprise at the price mentioned by Xi was still not enough.

" I have no plans to sell Kazuki... Although he was a child, but he was a descendant of Dragon Awakening. It was clear when he grew up he would become a very powerful dragon. I might give it to someone else. " Said Xi in his heart.

Time passed by very quickly, the sun came down changing with the moon. Daytime becomes a cool night full of star decorations in the beautiful night sky.

The sound of the horse carriage was heard at night. There are many horse-drawn carriages on the side of the road. Many nobles who came in the feast held by the king.

With this party is an opportunity for nobles to establish good relations with other nobles. Because it was a great distance for them to gather together like this, considering that the nobles were very busy with their respective affairs.

In the feast, all the nobles were greeted very well by the servants who were there. Not only that, the food served by the royal family is also a very good and quality food. That really makes everyone unable to hold their saliva when looking at good, high-quality food.

There, Xi stood in the corner drinking the wine available there. Leaning back he observed every noble who came.

" So these are all the nobles in Hallnas country... Among them all, the one with great power could be counted with a finger. Yes, it is not strange, considering that leveling up in this world is very difficult. " Say Xi in his heart while drinking the wine he was holding.

In addition, it was seen that Katashi who was beside him was very nervous when he saw that there were a lot of nobles coming. And again, that's not all, there are still many more who have not come for the party held by the royal family.

This was the first time for him to be able to attend the big party attended by the nobles in the Hallnas country. He thought that this was just a dream when he was sleeping, but in reality, this was a reality that could not be avoided anymore.

" God there's a lot coming... I'm really very nervous. " Say Katashi said with cold sweat drenching her body. Since coming Katashi has been very nervous.

Looking at Xi who was beside him, Katashi felt very confused how could Xi be so relaxed in this situation. When there were countless influential people in the kingdom gathered, he still looked calm as if nothing had happened and nothing had happened.

" Sister is really great... Even these nobles were just wind passing through his eyes. " Katashi said in her heart while looking at Xi who was drinking wine.

" Don't be nervous like that, no one will eat you in this place. " Say Xi quietly and casually. Ask Katashi to calm down, and eliminate her nervousness. His nervousness was unprofessional in the presence of other nobles.

Katashi replied awkwardly "Easy for you, sister... But this is very difficult for me. " Say Katashi quietly and limply.

" A... He really came. " Said Xi ignoring Katashi back then.

The noble family of a Duke who controlled a city that became the border between the Hallnas kingdom and also the Elf kingdom. Very influential family in Singto city. The noble family of the Blue Tiger Clan. Kurisina Souta is the head of the Family of the Blue Tiger Clan, as well as the duke who is very powerful and very reluctant by the other nobles.

Kurisina Souta is a very strong and mighty man. With his Beast-type Fighting Class who was a Blue Tiger, dominating Singto City which was once controlled by monsters.

A warrior of the strongest ferocious beast type from Hallnas kingdom. No person at S rank had ever defeated him in a one-on-one fight. Known as the Fire Tiger. He was very aggressive like fire, his temperament was harsh, brave, fearless and invincible. Very reluctant and respected by other nobles.

" Welcome Duke Souta, it is an honor to meet you. " Saying A noble greeted Duke Souta's arrival kindly.

The arrival of Duke Souta in the royal party, made the nobles flocked to flatter him. All that was done to get a good impression in the eyes of Duke Souta. Being able to undergo a good relationship with Duke Souta would definitely make their reputation increase.

Duke Souta, come with his family. There is Tota who joined Duke Souta to attend the party. Seeing Tota also coming, Katashi looks happy because he can meet with Tota again.

At that time he wanted to approach Tota, but he was stopped by Xi. Katashi is confused as to why Xi stopped him from greeting his friend Tota.

Xi said, "Don't go, the king will be here soon. Be a good boy and wait here for a minute. " Pinta Xi to Katashi. Xi forbids Katashi to meet with Tota because the King is coming.

He could feel the light footsteps that were on the blankets with magic energy. It sounded very faint, like the sound of the wind blowing slowly.

" His Majesty has arrived! " Say a butler loudly. Give to everyone in the room the king's arrival from the kingdom of Hallnas.

When he heard that, everyone knelt down to welcome the King. Yes, everyone knelt down, including Duke Souta who had just arrived, even Katashi who was beside Xi also knelt down to welcome the King. And only Xi did not kneel at the time, casually using Steahlt's skill to hide his presence.

Xi's Steahlt was powerful and extraordinary, even for high-ranked people like Rank A and Rank S could not feel his existence even if it was just a breath of air. It was really very well hidden, the best Assassins were not even able to track it.

Even for a person as great as Duke Souta who had a sharp smell like a tiger could not smell the magic scent of Xi who used the Steahlt skill.

The reason Xi did not kneel down, and used the Steahlt skill to hide the air of his existence was because he did not want to bow down for others. To him the people in this room were not worthy to make him kneel or bow his head. There was not a single person in this world who would make him bow his head, not even the gods would be able to make him kneel for them.

The Steahlt skill that Xi used, in order not to provoke a commotion inside the room. He was very lazy to deal with the nobles when arguing. So he prefers to avoid her by hiding the air of her existence.

" We all welcome Your Majesty! "

" Live King! Long live King! Long live King! " Say everyone in unison as they give their beloved King a welcome.

The king was very happy when everyone adored him. Moreover, seeing everyone he invited came, he could not hide his joy as well as his gratitude.

" Hahaha, stand. " The king asked everyone to stand up.

Everyone stood back up, along with that, Xi was punching - activate his skill. Because he doesn't have to hide himself any further.

The king walked over to one of the guests. Precisely is Duke Souta who became the ruler and administrator of Singto city. The atmosphere became silent in the slightest except the sound of footsteps from the King who was full of bravery and charisma.

Everyone was very impressed with the authority brought by the King. Wishing the King would approach them, but they realized that hope was useless. For nobles like them, it is not worth to be flattered by the King.

However, it was different from Duke Souta who had served the kingdom for a very long time. Every day he risked his life in Singto, not just his life, but his family's. All the problems of the dispute between the Hallnas state and the Elf state, were all handled by Duke Souta. Not a single noble would be able to carry that heavy burden, only Duke Souta was one. Yeah, he's just one.

" Haha... " Laughter of the King as he walked. " Duke Souta. You've traveled a long way, it must have been exhausting for you. " The King said to Duke Souta.

" Duke Souta, how is the situation in Singto city, do you need my help? " Ask the King to Duke Souta regarding the matter that came to Singto City late - this end.

Hearing the explanation, the King was silent for a moment when he learned that the situation in Singto City was getting more difficult. He knew that if the Elves wanted to take the city into a city under their auspices, he felt guilty to Duke Souta for giving such a heavy burden alone.

He had previously thought of sending an army of reinforcements to Duke Souta to help deal with the Elves who continued to arrive without stopping. However, he was surprised when Duke Souta said that the Elves had arrived - just retreat for no reason and no longer carried out attacks anymore.

" Did they back off? " Task the King to Duke Souta with his surprised expression.

Duke Souta nodded confirming this. Answering the King's question by saying "Right, they retreated. But I don't know what the reason is. But if I knot right, maybe they're retreating because of the unreasonable Gate Break in the kingdom. Maybe they are afraid of being hit by the impact of the Gate Break. " Duke Souta said to the King.

The king laughed loosely, very happy to hear it as the Elves retreated in fear due to the existence of the Gate S Class. It might be a stroke of luck that won't come twice in history, but it won't last long. About the Gate S Class that has been completed will definitely spread very quickly.

" Haha! Interesting, very interesting! Good Work Duke Souta. Getting them to back off maybe I can't do it. " Said the King while laughing loudly. Praising Duke Souta's extraordinary work to the point of making the Elves retreat.

" You're too complimentary of Your Majesty. This is all I do for the sake of the kingdom. " Duke Souta said politely.

" All right, everybody enjoy the party! " The king said aloud to everyone.

Everyone responded with pleasure and passion. Now that the party has begun, they can do activities as usual most of them at the party they do. Want it to eat, drink, even talk about business and also boast to others.

Conversations between nobles can not be avoided at this meria party.

The party went on very peacefully without any disturbance or problem. At that time, someone approached Xi who was leaning alone while enjoying the food that had been served.

A person dressed neatly as well as a handsome look approached her elegantly.

" Have not seen Mr. Sakaki in a long time... " Say the man politely while greeting the alone Xi. " I'm sorry to interrupt your time. Introduce me Light, Guild Master of the Lightning Guild. It is an honor to meet you again. " Continue Light while introducing himself.

At that time, before him he had never introduced himself to Xi even once because at that time the situation was in a very chaotic situation. So it is not possible for him to introduce himself to Xi.

However, this time was different because this time it was at a celebration party that celebrated the safety of Hallnas country from the threat of Gate Break that occurred before. Now he can freely talk and get to know Xi further.

" You were that time... I don't think I need to introduce myself anymore, do I? " Reply Xi lightly while eating her food.

Light responded to the words with a wide smile. What Xi said is also true, now his name is famous throughout the Hallnas country, so without the need to introduce himself everyone already knows who he is.

" You're right, but... Allow me to thank you. Thanks to you and your colleagues, this country can be safe. This kindness I will never forget forever. " Light said as she bowed and lowered her head.

However, Xi held him in check. Helping Light stand back up, the attitude that Light showed him could have provoked a commotion among the nobles present. Xi did not want the nobles to swarm in, because it was very troublesome.

" You don't have to behave like that... I was just passing through at that moment. You can assume that time is good luck coming to bless this country. " Said Xi slowly.

Light was silent for a moment when he heard this. " What a good man... Even after doing such great things he still hid them. Others will sometimes boast when they get a compliment from someone else, but it is different from this person... Sakaki is different. I wonder how many people like him there are in this world. " Said Light in his heart who was amazed by Xi's glory. While showing his big smile to Xi.

Seeing Light acting strangely made Xi feel strange as well as disgusted. He did not want to see or imagine it any further, could he not sleep well tonight.

Talking long enough with Xi, Light then remembered that he was asked by the King to take Xi to the banquet room.

" Ah, I just remembered... Mr. Sakaki can you come with me for a moment. His Majesty wants to entertain you personally in his room. " Said Light. He told Xi what he wanted to say. He was asked by the King to bring Xi into his room.

Without a second thought after hearing the statement, Xi agreed with a nod of his head. Light was grateful that Xi could accept the request without any objection from her in the slightest.

" Please follow me Mr. Sakaki... " Say Light pointed his way to Xi.

The two of them left the party room to go to the banquet place held by the King personally only for Xi alone. When walking there are many servants who stand neatly on the side of the road. Subjugating their heads all welcomed the arrival of the guest of honor who later - later by the King.

Arriving at the door of the banquet room, Light left Xi alone with the servant there. It was because Light's only duty was to deliver Xi to the king's private banquet hall.

From the outside, Xi could feel the domineering aura of the king.

" It's still outside but I can feel it. Such an incredible aura, this could only be possessed by a great leader. This... This person had a superior aura. " The word is in the heart. Fatigue opened the door and walked inside. Before entering he continued "I guess such an aura is only possessed by the Dragon Awakening or Legendary Beast... I don't think there are humans who have superior auras as well. " Next while entering the room.

When he entered the room, Xi was surprised by the appearance of the room so beautiful and very luxurious. Flowers are neatly arranged in each corner with pots made of pure gold that have a painting of an animal like a bird. The floor is so shiny and shiny, and there are many beautiful and expensive paintings on the walls of the room.

A table made of the strongest wood in the world, has a magnificent look. The smell of the food on the table can be clearly smelled on his nose, it feels very good when inhaling it.

There was a middle-aged man sitting on a chair quietly. The magic energy radiating from him was domineering, even surpassing the Rank S he had encountered before.

" Hoho, you've reached Master Hero. Please sit down, there's something I want to talk to you four-eyes. " Said the King graciously welcoming Xi and called him a hero. He also asked Xi to sit at the same table with him, saying that he behaved in a very friendly manner.

" thank you... " Reply Xi calmly. Sitting on the chair that was prepared there while looking at the King when he was about to sit down. When he muttered "He is no weaker than the Demon King, I think he has a chance to win if faced with the Demon King one on one, but... What - what do you call the hero. Sounds laughable to me who likes to do evil until now. " Said Xi in her heart.

Sitting on a chair quietly, hoping - face directly with the King who is quite jauj in front of him. The King was also very calm when he entered this room, as if he was sure that nothing would happen.

" Hohoho, I don't know what to say. I did not expect that the person who managed to stop the disaster that came in this country was very young... I'm so impressed by your hero's treasury. In the younger generation, I don't think there will be anyone like you for now. " Say the King laughs and praises the great talent that Xi has. Although it looks very faint, but the King can feel the very fierce magic energy radiance from Xi's body. It was like something very domineering and also haughty. Such an incredible strength even made him become envious when he saw it with his own eyes.

Xi responded by saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty, and you said earlier that we will speak with four eyes... Then why did you put five assassins in this room? With them what you said earlier that sounds like shit. " Said Xi.

The King as well as the five Assassins in the room were very surprised that Xi was able to realize the existence of the Assassins inside this room. It made the King even more amazed - amazed at Xi, with a look of admiration he said in his heart "Excellent, wonderful, I didn't know that he could be aware of the best Assassin I had placed in this room. " The King said in his heart.

Meanwhile, the Fifth Assassin looked puzzled when Xi learned of their whereabouts. " Ba how did you realize us? We hid our existence very well. " Said One of the Assassins curiously asking Xi who was sitting quietly in his chair.

Xi casually answered him "You're right, you guys are already hiding very well. Even a Rank S is unlikely to be aware of your existence. But different from me, I am the same as you but on the one hand also different from you. " She said.

The answer given by Xi certainly did not satisfy them. Moreover even if it was a fellow assassin it was impossible to be able to realize the existence of other assassins just like that. " Is that all? We've been hiding very well, even if you're also an Assassin it shouldn't be that easy to find us... We are the Elite of the kingdom who directly escort the King. " Said one of the Assassins.

The five Assassins in the room were Elite Assassins raised by the King himself for personal or other purposes. The Assassin Group raised by the King is a collection of great Assassins among other Assassins.

Clearly their prowess was far above the average of Assassins in general. With their abilities, it was more than enough to annihilate a certain large group within a few moments. It's the greatest weapon Hallnas' country has.

When their existence is known by someone, it makes them not just surprised. However, they were also ashamed of being discovered by someone right before the King who raised them.

" Seeing from his appearance it was obvious he was still very young but, being able to reveal the Elite Assassins I developed with my own hands was simply too incredible. What kind of experience does a young man less than 20 years old have that his senses are so sharp. This person could not be judged by his young age, but look at the actions that were full of greatness. I can tell you that he... He is the strongest in his generation. " Said the King in his heart who continued to admire Xi's prowess endlessly. Something he would never get from a child his age, even if it was from the nobility. There are only a handful of people who can reach this point, not all can achieve the same things that Xi has achieved.

" Of course with my Dragon Eye, I can definitely see you. With Dragon Eye's I can see what I can't see... Even if it's not all. " Said Xi in his heart calmly.

Dragon Eye's was the basic ability of the Black Dragon Race. The ability to see living things by detecting the body heat temperature of a creature. Not just a material being, but a spiritual being.

Like what Xi said, although he can see things that cannot be seen, but not everything can be seen. A condition where someone has excellent disguise skills, it could be out of sight and not aware of the existence of the person.

" Simply I can hear the sound of your heartbeat. Even though your existence is well hidden, the sound of your heartbeat and your breath is still clearly heard in my ears. So no need to think about it anymore. " hereinafter.

Quietly Xi opened his eyes that were red in violation, staring intently at the King. With a hint of death aura enveloping his eyes, it made it look like a demon was staring at its prey.

Opening his mouth slowly said to the King "So... Are you gonna let them in here? If yes, then we have nothing to talk about anymore. " Said Xi stating that their deal will end in this place and right now.

The King became surprised that Xi wanted to finish his meeting before they even talked about the main issue. However, looking from any side it was also the King's fault for placing some Assassins in the room.

The King quickly got out of his chair and said "Wait, please wait! " Pint the King to Xi not to go. " I know it's my fault, I'll ask them out. That way, our conversation can still be continued, right? " Continue the King.

The King also asked his subordinates to go out and excommunicate the two of them in the room. In fact, in their hearts they were reluctant to leave because they felt that Xi was a dangerous person. Xi could have attacked the King when they came out of the room even if it was just a second.

They had an uneasy feeling when the king asked them to leave with the man himself.

" If anything happens to the King... I will kill you with my own hands!! " Say one Assassin firmly in his heart. Go out of the banquet room feeling uncomfortable.

After the Assassins left the room, Xi let out a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the king and spoke up "You have a loyal subordinate, it will make others very envious. " Said Xi, praising the Assassins who faithfully served their King like a father. It would make others very envious, including her. Getting loyal subordinates to serve someone with all their soul and body is not easy.

" I have subordinates like them (Fifth Assassin) who are loyal to me. But it was clearly different because they were once my enemies that I revived in a special form... I really am envious. " Said in the heart. Xi was jealous of the loyalty the Assassins had to the King. Xi basically also wanted such a subordinate.

The King sat back in his chair with a feeling of relief. He could not imagine if Xi had left the room, it could have been their last conversation.

" The strange young man... It really scares people. " The king said in his heart.

The king also invited Xi to eat the food that had been served by the servants before him before he came here. Without hesitation Xi took some food that he thought was delicious, yet when he took the food that was on the table, he did so politely and elegantly.

This had made the King amazed by the tattoos pointed by Xi. Very rarely are there young people who have such a tattoo. It was really done perfectly, not even comparable to his son who had long studied tatakramama in the sphere of nobility.

" Ahem... Master hero, I don't know how you got to this country but, I thank you very much for saving this country. I'm really grateful to you. " The King sincerely expressed his gratitude to Xi. It was proven by her bowing her head at that moment.

Seeing a King bow his head, Xi spontaneously said "You don't have to be like that Your Majesty, it's too much. " Say Xi from where she sits and then stand up as she speaks.

" Hohoho, really a generous young man. " Say the King raised his head back with a smile. " I heard Mr. Hero doesn't like stale language, so I'll get to the point... " Said the King seriously and firmly.

Hearing that Xi narrowed his eyes, as if he was already waiting for those words to come out of the King's mouth.

The king continued "After the events of Gate S Class the whole world was made a scene. And it became a news that is still warm and continues to be talked about until now. Because of that incident many cities and countries in various regions want you to move to their places. "

" In this incident indeed we did not lose a single Rank S person on our side. However, not with the Holy Sword party, they had even lost their main battle power. It was certain that the Elf country would not remain silent to hear the news of the human side defeating a high-level demon like the Demon King that should not be overcome by a country. "

" You've been the target of a lot of people out there, certainly it's very dangerous considering people will do everything to get what they want but... All that can be avoided if you stay in the Hallnas kingdom and become a permanent resident of this country. I can guarantee that by living in this country you will have a very decent life and a high status. The cost of your life will be borne by our royal family. " The King continues to explain the purpose of his goal.

Xi listened to the King's explanation calmly responding to the explanation by saying "Means... You want me to be a part of this country? " Task Xi to the King.

The King nodded his head seriously. In his mind, someone like Xi would not likely come twice, so he would definitely do anything to keep him.

" all right... Meri started with that. You don't have to call me a hero. That kind of name is not very suitable for someone like me. Second, about your request for me to stay in this country... I guess I should reject it. I really can't stay in this place. " Reply Xi to the King.

" Why can't it? Can I know the reason? " The king was a little surprised by the answer given by Xi.

" Hmmm, the world is so big... So I can't stay here. There are many places I have never been, so I want to see them. How big is this land, and how beautiful the ocean is... I want to see everything. " Said Xi. " There's a lot of things I want to do out there, so I can't stay here. Really forgive me. " Subsequently Xi refused the King's request to stay in his country politely and subtly.

His eyes shone looking at a star in the young man's eyes. A big, burning spirit, that's something really incredible. " This kind of feeling... How long have I not felt it... " Say the King in his heart as he gently touched his chest. Heard the sound of a beating heart that kept beating nonstop while remembering his past when he was young.

" Hear this... As far as I try to persuade him I think it will be in vain. A young man full of spirit is a stone that cannot be broken. " The king said in his heart.

The smiling king said to Xi "It seems like the result will be the same even if I try further but... It would be inconvenient for me not to give you the hadia for the great help you have given us. " Said the King. He clapped his hands a few times hard.

At that moment, the door opened and several servants entered the room carrying a lot of things. Everything the servants brought was beautiful and shiny, it was all a precious treasure.

" The people collected all this and gave it to us. They say that if Mr. Sakaki comes, they want you to accept all of these traditions as a way of thanking them for your service. " So the King explained. " Sakaki sir, please accept the hadia given by my people. We'd all be so happy if you could take it. " The King represents his people. As a leader, he must take responsibility for the trust he has placed in him.

Xi gladly accepted all the hadia given to him. Seeing all the valuables, Xi said in her heart "Now it's useful for Katashi... I guess I just need to add a little. " Said inwardly while slightly smiling a little in his heart.

Seen in the heap of hadia there are many jewelry, some weapons, money (Platinum Coins, Gold, Silver, Silver, and Bronze ) there are also some herbs as well as some medium quality Healing potions and there are some also top level quality ones.

" Healing Potion yes... I see - look it's not cheap. The lowest one alone cost around 20 silver... Maybe some Alchemy from this country gave it away. " Said in the heart.

The king was happy that Xi was willing to accept the hadia given by his people. With Xi accepting all the hadia, what his people have ordered has now been conveyed. So all that did not burden his mind any longer as to how he should give all the hadia to the savior of the Kingdom.

In addition, as a King he also did not want to lose to his people. He also offered a hadia to Xi in the form of a request. " I'm glad you can take it, my people must be so grateful. And also, I as a King will also give you a hadia. Mr. Sakaki, you can ask me anything you want, as long as it is within the reasonable limits of man I will do it. " Say the King firmly. When he said that, his gaze was sharp and solemn. It was as if he was not playing with what he had just said.

The Hadia given by the King to Xi was a request. So Xi can ask the King for anything as a hadia, as long as it does not cross the line the King will support.

Along with that in his heart the King wished "you you asked to be able to stay here would definitely I immediately recollect without a second thought. " The king said in his heart. Hope Xi will say what's on her mind.

When those words fell, unknowingly a wide smile was painted on his face. The king had opened his mouth, only hoping that he would not draw a word - he said back after he had taken it out. Because those words were what Xi had been meaning to since.

All of this is already in his calculations. " Well if that's what you want... I've said before that I can't stay in this country, but that doesn't mean my brother can't. " taught. " My request is that I want His Majesty to make him one of the nobles in this kingdom. I realize this may be overkill for people who are still my age but, I assure you, he won't disappoint. In the future, perhaps he could become one of the pillars of this country. " Submit Xi to the King.

The king was shocked to hear that Xi had a brother living in his country. Thinking of Xi's words, with his brother living in the Hallnas kingdom, it was indirectly that this Kingdom would have a good relationship with someone strong and whose name might soon be famous until the world.

" Don't that mean... Indirectly this country has the support of a very strong person? I heard from Guild Master Light, he said that this Master Sakaki is no less powerful than the five heroes... This this is so awesome!! " Say the King in his glad heart.

Xi raised next to his eyebrows, seeing the silent King trembling when he heard his request made him think "Is the request excessive? " He thought at that moment when he was in a very quiet situation without the slightest sound.

BE AWKWARD! A very loud sound of punch was heard. The King got up from his chair while hitting the table hard. It suddenly made Xi surprised because his movement that arrived surprised others.

" I'll do it! Mr. Sakaki, you take it easy, I will do my best! " Tell him with great enthusiasm. The king was already impatient to see how great a talent he possessed of a great person who could defeat all the monsters of the Gate Break S Class.
