THE COLD DAD

THE COLD DAD
OFFERING ALTAR


while everyone was busy searching for traces of the scouts, the muri had seized the opportunity, and entered the royal palace alone.


"what's enough here!" muri looked around the palace 'hmm still not, I have to go even deeper it turns out.'


he continued to walk into a secret passageway, which could penetrate directly into the palace.


"what is this? it's too dark, I'd better call my spirit."


he looked around silently, only the occasional lizard sound."ralf came out.


bwusssh..


"finally you call me sir, what do you want me to do?"


he summoned a middle-class light spirit.


"ralf lighted my way, it's too dark."


"haha it's so easy sir, will I do."


ralf made himself shine brightly, and he floated high in front of the muri, and illuminated his path.


as the ralf light grew higher and brighter, the muri continued to walk, and about twenty meters ahead, there appeared a large hall with a strange round shape.


"this place is like a meeting room or maybe something."


he looked at the ceiling, there were unique carvings.


'what carving it is, every wall there is a strange pattern, hmm and every corner there is an animal-shaped statue, whether, like a guardian statue. there is not only one.' he saw around the room. 'there are five statues, but why is this one different shape itself..! and there is a higher place, than other statues.this is likely. a kind of statue worship.'


"sir... sir, take a look at this..!"


muri turned his head towards the ralf's voice, he stepped slowly, and took a closer look.


"what is this place, sir?"


it looked like a long table covered in black cloth, and there were traces of blood stains.


"this is the sacrificial altar."


'hmm so yeah..? well. Like his orders, this place is very suitable to be targeted, hem'


a sly smile perched in her beautiful lips, and the panic in the palace made an uproar.


"tap.. tap.." the knight guards ran in panic.


"please..please..there is a fire..Where is the king..?"


"hey what's up?" ask baron aisher


"master baron, there seems to be a fire in the basement hall."


"what......?"


"in that case, quickly report to the king, and call the water mage now.."


"ba.ba.alright, mr. baron."


'what is this...? are there any intruders, I need to hurry over now.'


"tap. tap. tap.. reverence the servant to the king."


a man of forty years, sitting arrogantly on his throne, with his legs crossed, and his head slightly tilted to the right with support in one of his burly hands.


"what's up? until you rush to get here..!"


"baginda king, hah. hah. te. has. ter. ter. ter. occurred. fire in the secret hall room."


"what did you say..? the fire..!"


"right you."


the king turned to his dark knight, as if he gave the code to leave.


"investigate what happened?"


"well sire, wuuuuusssssh" the man looked down respectfully, and was lost in the darkness.


"have you sent a water mage to turn off the fire?"


"i've done it, sire, and now, baron aisher is dealing with this matter."


"hmm, then. quickly send ten soldiers, to help the aisher baron there."


"well, sire, I resigned, tap. tap.." the man ran away from the king himself.


the dark knight held out a letter to the king, the king took the letter out to him, and opened it and read it, his calm and cold expression, now turning into a rage.


"fearless....! how dare he. You quickly gather a master class black mage, and get lukas, watches and zoras here."


"good, I say good."


'how could any intruders know this place..? whatever that means is the secret of this country has been leaked out, because all this time, this country has always been calm and peaceful, however, since the declaration of war from the king, could this be a warning from the enemy?.whatever it is, I hope the king has a wise decision, and is not easily eaten bait. Because if he is provoked! want not want us to be prepared.'


muri stretched out his palm, and out a blue light from the small cube that floated in his hand.


"baginda, the mission to eliminate the target is over."


the black-haired man was shoulder-length, smiling obliquely with great satisfaction.


"hem... have you brought it..?


"yes, as he commanded"


"good muri..! I'm not wrong to give this mission, to you. What about the red crow..?"


"everything is safe, sir."


"in that case, tell the others to come back soon."


"good yourselves."


the cube disappeared.


'hem.. Now it's time to catch up with them.'


the castle tower.


"tuk. tuk. tuk.." rafael folded one hand back, and another, holding on to the balcony wall while tapping his finger.he stood near the balcony of his tower, then look at the night sky that stretched wide.


'how are you doing..? I can't wait to see you soon, but, before that, there's a problem I need to solve first.'


...****************...


in the city of Vala. argus was sitting leaning on a shady tree and high, with one hand propped up on his knees.


'heh. while waiting for the arrival of the noble, I will play first with them. hmm, it seems good, if I make them as a quarry, while eliminating boredom.. though I would love to see it, but with his current condition, it is very unlikely not. we will be officially acquainted later.'


'where exactly is that person, this city is very big, but it has been a few days I have surrounded it. However, there is no trace of the presence of that person..! where exactly is she..?'


"kreek. kreek.."


'this voice.' dean immediately hid behind an empty house, which was adjacent to where rey was.'


'fuck, why do I have to meet them here now, if they know I'm here, this could be serious. Wait, who is that next to him..? judging from his clothes, wasn't it a witch..! since when did the boy become friends with the witch..?'


he recalled the message from his master before leaving.


'hmm so it was. he used dirty means to reach a higher position, the child's brain base, was completely washed apparently. Before they realized my existence, I better go first.'


in a flash dean disappeared, rey turned his head to the side.


"what's wrong?"


"didn't you feel it? it was like someone was there."


"don't think strangely, where there might be people here other than the two of us. Obviously the population here has died a lot."


"well, you're right, maybe it's just my feelings, but just in case, I'll check out the empty house."


"as for you, I'm sleepy, I'll go to sleep first."


rey was still dissatisfied, to dispel his doubts, he checked the empty house beside them.


"huh, it's true that it's just my feeling. Instead I come back, we have to gather energy for tomorrow."


reypun is back for a break.


"nearly a wit, it's a good thing I'm fast going from there, because it would be very troublesome to deal with witches."


"srek.."


'hmm there are people'


in an instant, his pointy sword had pointed towards the enemy's neck.


"say who are you..?"
