The Conqueror's Journey
chapter 17 Continuous effort

As the days continued, which led him to search for them, he decided to find someone who could save his son. Although selfish, but he could not waste any more time, he was worried that his daughter could not be saved anymore. Even if he failed to find them parents, he would take responsibility for everything after finishing this whole thing.

Now he had already reached the western imperial border and headed towards the northern purple empire.

He walked while sneaking into the people who were about to leave, but the guard so closely watching everyone passing by made it difficult to deal with him.

“Open your cape!” squeak guards.

“lord I have a disease...”

“no excuses! Quickly open” cut it.

Daniel did not open it, he held the sword hilt in his robe and was getting ready to laugh, he realized he could not dodge this gatekeeper. Although he might be chased, it was better than his identity being exposed.

“fast open.” It makes Daniel more alert.

The guard is seen beginning to reach for his robe but before touching it, a long glint is seen cutting through the two guards.

The guard fell down and blood flowed profusely.

Everyone who saw him was shocked and shouted hysterically and unconsciously Daniel was no longer there.

...****...

“I have to quickly find food.” Daniel jumped from one tree to another. Its speed is as fast as light, a layman may not realize that it is human,

Although the speed was very fast, Daniel only ran as he could, the reason why he had not used it before was because the enemy would know it

He knew his enemies were many in the western empire, a miracle he was not in the know while there.

He kept running away occasionally turning his face back.

The purple empire was the smallest empire among the others. His territory was heavily filled with dense forests making the atmosphere of the purple empire feel cool and this was good luck for Daniel, he was able to find food and hide there until the situation was safe, he said,

The forest in the purple empire had a bit of a ferocious beast which made it safe to visit.

Evening came, Daniel decided to look for food around, he jumped like an ape. After 10 minutes he heard the sound of a huge waterfall.

“Finally.” The echo went along to the waterfall.

When he arrived at the edge of the waterfall, he immediately dived looking for fish.

After a few minutes of searching, Daniel emerged from the water. “Ahhh.” His echo was happy, he was heading towards the outskirts. In his left hand there are several fish, in his right hand there is a sword that is used to slash the fish that are found.

The fish carried there were only neat incision wounds but it hit his vital organs, only the tip of his sword only scratched the body of the fish.

Daniel is an expert in using swords and swords as well as being his mainstay weapon for fighting so it is no wonder he can do that so well.

Daniel put the fish on the edge of the waterfall decorated with clean white rocks, then he looked for firewood around.

Then he blames fire with the natural energy he has, natural energy is energy related to nature including the elements in it, so he easily turns on the fire.

Then burn the fish.

Although fire was extremely dangerous in the forest as it could attract the surrounding beasts close in, daniel was a general so if not a human he could easily avoid it.

After eating he immediately left, not because he was excited, but afraid that the enemy was looking and approaching.

Daniel continued to jump around quickly, even his speed exceeding earlier. Throughout his journey he did not see any ferocious beasts or anything like that made the journey better and smoother.

2 Hours from a distance he heard the sound of people on the move with joy and from far away he saw the twinkling lights, he concluded that it was a night market, a party or something like that.

He did not continue his journey. He spread his gaze around, after making sure everything was safe he headed straight for one of the tree branches, instantly breaking down his body and falling asleep, he fell asleep,

The sword is still held tightly, this is one way to guard Daniel if there is an enemy approaching,

...****...

The birds told each other, making Daniel wake up refreshed in the morning. At first he stretched his body, made sure all his belongings were safe, he jumped down.

Daniel took out the crystal and drained the energy but there seemed to be no encouraging reaction.

He took a breath and put it in again, then walked closer to where the night market or something was like last night.

There was nothing more he could hear, though,

The simple houses lined up looking at each other over a street made of grass-cleaned earth, making Daniel wonder why the night was so crowded and why the day was so quiet, only visible leaves are flying.

Daniel walked carefully while looking at the houses that looked so deserted.

He continued walking until he arrived at the border of the village, and arrived at the village next to him that was so densely populated in sight.

Daniel was a little surprised by the village next door, but he could not think about it now,

Daniel only walked, until his gaze was fixed on the clothes shop not far from him, he was about to go there, but given that he had no money made him reluctant and went back on his way.

Clothing for him now is very important to disguise his identity, he thinks it's better to wear other clothes than this shirt. Although it can disguise identity, but this also adds to the suspicion of people.

Daniel continued to walk until he reached the border with the forest immediately ran quickly jumping from branch to branch with cunning.

Perhaps this was all he could now do until he found the person he was looking for.

At noon he decided to rest and change his hair color which was originally white to black and re-open his son's book, for some reason he always opened it despite feeling angry, resentful of the contents of the book.

...****...

To the next day I was brought to visit a market that was so crowded with residents' activities. I certainly wouldn't be surprised anymore, considering I've been to this market even once when I was a kid.

I spread my gaze towards the merchants who seemed always enthusiastic about promoting their merchandise, making me remember the first time I saw it. I asked my father how they could make such a graceful and attention-grabbing sound.

“they used to do it and practice like you did when you were a child, the first time you learned to walk, you did the exercise many times even though the results fell more than usual, he said, but you keep doing it until it works.” Dad was silent for a moment to catch his breath. “and let everyone stay that way maybe everything they dreamed would be achieved.”

Is there anything that makes you say that? From his voice I could hear a deep message being conveyed, but I did not understand and could only nod.

“A long time ago yes we did not walk the road.” He turned his face to look at me.

Without thinking I answered him directly. “iya, I am really happy to be with dad again, by the way how is dad at war?” my question always worries me. Although I always throw it deep in my memory and somehow the question comes out on its own.

“sorry, did you worry?” He said with a sad face.

I'm sorry to ask that question.

“no, dad doesn't make me Kahwatir.” I answered with a smile, even though I lied.

My father looked at me sharply and looked back to the front.

Can I make sure he knows what I think. “you how things are in the palace?”

“I, I'm very happy.” I lied again.

“oh, yes, how is aunt yu?”

I was a little surprised by this father's question, instead of containing a shock substance substance, but, I was at a loss as to how to answer it, aunt Yu disappeared without a trace, news.

“bibi yu is returning home father village, because there is a family ceremony.” I lied the end.

I smiled and tried to hide my lies.

“ohh.” His words are unaware.
