The Conqueror's Journey
chapter 14 is lost

Nandong's mother sits next to Daniel. “ I'll kill you.”

Although he actually started to like Daniel, but for the sake of avenging his mother and father he had to do that.

Daniel turned his face away. “ Wait until I finish something that is very important to me.”

“ What if you escape?”

“ I am a general will not escape, believe me.” Daniel believed it

“ I can't believe. Even though you're a general.”

When he heard that, he was a little annoyed, this woman beside him was really too careful

“ What should I do.”

“cut one hand.” Nandong's mother said seriously.

Daniel was a little surprised at that, he quickly said, “Can't, I Really need it now.”

“ well you can take those kids and find a decent parent.”

This may be the best decision for now

“ good.”

“Mother.” Said Nandong and Nani who heard their conversation. “ what mom does not love with us.” Said those who had hugged mother nandong tightly.

“ mom is very dear, but mom can't take good care of you guys, I hope you guys can get a decent life.” Said nandong's mother while hugging the two of them.

“ but Mom, I want to always be with mom.” Nani said while crying. Nandong's mother petted him hoping to calm him down.

“ right, I also don't want to go.” Nandong.

“ you are already big, you will get something new, do you want to have new parents?”

They're still crying. They had been with her for several years, and they had already considered her as their new mother. Hence, making them reluctant to part with him.

“ What you guys want to make mom happy.”

They nodded.

“ so you guys should follow Mr Daniel yes.”

They nodded again.

After that conversation mother nandong waved her hand gently with a smile. He looked at his son's departure until he was invisible, then turned around, he felt his head dizzy and unconscious.

...****...

A month had passed but Daniel still had not found Someone in his car, making him upset, let alone the children he was carrying had somehow disappeared to where and added to his burden now. He's gotta find those kids.

He took a deep breath, the noisy sounds continued to rub against his ears. He was now really uncomfortable with the situation, if it wasn't for him having to look for the children he might have left there.

He approached a middle-aged lung person. “ excuse me sir.”

“ Do you see children who are one female and the other male?”

“ no.” The man answered quickly and gave Daniel no time.

He continued his search again until the sun was over, and decided to rest not far from the market.

Under a tree not too big but enough for some rest.although a little hot he sat by curling his body back, his hands were used to support his body

In his mind was so chaotic, he could not think clearly, lay down his body and close his eyes hoping that when he woke up the children were already beside him, perhaps this was a naive thought, he said, but what he can do, if he continues he will probably be very exhausted and the results are very erratic, if resting for a while there is no harm as well.

He was now in the coal city which was the capital of the western empire.

The city is filled with buildings made of bricks scattered around the capital, but the number is still small.

The atmosphere of this city is so crowded. Although the buildings are not many, but because most of it is made into mines and vacant land makes the air around hotter. Rain will only occur 2 times a year, making the city dry and lack of water.

The city has a large coal mine and has a large area. The majority of the population chose to become coal miners and traders.

Every hour they would go channeling coal to other regional empires except the Utattarian empire.

From where Daniel is clearly visible a large imperial palace surrounded by residents

“Build... Wake up... Wake up young.” The words of a grandfather who wiggled Daniel's shoulder.

Daniel slowly regained his senses and improved his position.

“ Young man why are you sleeping here?” Ask without waiting for Daniel.

An old geezer wearing a black robe with a skinny growing and long white beard made him look wise.

“ Me, fatigue.” Daniel answered, sleepy.

The grandfather chuckled. “ you can find a place to rest,”

“not good break on the roadside like this, you can be robbed.”

Daniel's eyes quickly changed and checked his belongings. He breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness nothing was missing then raised his head to look at the grandfather. “ sorry,” he said because he had ignored it.

The grandfather took a deep breath and sat beside Daniel. “ together, what made you sleep on the side of the road?” ask while looking at Daniel.

“I previously searched for children who were one girl and another boy, did grandfather see it?” Daniel's face was pale.

The grandfather again chuckled. “ I did not see it, I came from outside.”

“Eh, sorry, I didn't know.” Disruptions were seen on Daniel's face.

“ It's okay, alright grandpa go first.” Said then rushed away, already a few meters running he stopped. “ hope you find him.” Without turning around and continuing the journey.

“ hope.” Said slowly.

He took another breath and rushed off looking near the capital. Although it was very dangerous, he had to do it, this time he would do it as hard as he had, would not waste even a chance, for him this was the solution to the problem he caused in the past, he said, but that made him confused as to why everyone with him was leaving!

He scoured the suburban area, asking everyone he met, but they all gave absurd answers or just said no idea, leaving Daniel a little disappointed, but what the power was, he can only do that for now.

While searching, he also checked every place he visited to look for that person.

He searched for her for days, but he did not find her. In his mind he was really messed up, angry and upset, he was also scolding himself.

“ what should I do.” His echo while walking around and spreading his gaze.

People passed by him, but they did not see Daniel, was this a coincidence?

This incident was really strange for him, usually people would look at it with astonished gazes, but the people here seemed to act like they could.

Daniel continued to travel while asking everyone who did not seem busy.

“ Old did you see the kids?”

The master shook his head.

He continued again.

“ Old what do you see girls with boys?”

“ I don't see it.”

Daniel took a deep breath and continued.

The sun was setting but he had not found it. While searching, he decided to visit the inn and inquire about the people who were there.

1 Hour passed by and Daniel was already in front of the inn. The inn was not very high and had 2 floors, enough to rest.

Daniel spread his gaze to see the deserted terrace. He walked in.

“ do you see little kids dressed in tatters?” ask Daniel to the innkeeper.

“ No sir.” Speaks kindly.

Daniel went out and saw nothing inside and did not book a room, so he decided to sleep outside, not because he wanted to, but he had no money.

“Why does everyone say no?” he nodded while looking for a place to rest. He was a little surprised that every town must have children, but why was it that everyone he asked no one saw and also he had not seen a single child, strange.
