The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 158: The Little Things That Come While Drizzling

Cold air in the morning envelops the atmosphere. The sound asleep Ren was awakened by the gurgling sound of water descending from the sky. The warmth that comes from the mattress and a makeshift blanket can provide a sense of comfort so that he is reluctant to leave.

Even so Ren still forced himself not to be a lazy person; he immediately got up from his bed and put on casual clothes for everyday life.

After fully dressed, Ren went down from the second floor where his room was to the first floor of the inn. There, he had been greeted by an unusual, and slightly strange sight.

Nivania was seen eating breakfast, she was accompanied by the innkeeper who sat at a table with her. There was nothing strange about breakfast, but the expressions of the two of them gave an indication that there had been a serious problem.

As someone who was always plagued by problems, be it small problems or big problems, Ren did not want to interfere with their affairs, he said, therefore he walked as usual and sat down at one of the tables as if he knew nothing.

The sound of rain water still sounded quite heavy, making the air and atmosphere feel cold and warm at the same time. Those who said in a soft tone would not be able to be heard by others, so Ren raised his voice a little when he said to the innkeeper.

"Ehm, can I have one glass of warm drink?"

The innkeeper seemed jolted, he then gave a nod as a sign of understanding before finally going to the kitchen to prepare the order requested by Ren.

Now all that was left in the room was Nivania and Ren, they didn't talk to each other but paid attention to each other. Nivania realized she had been paying attention to others for a long time, she immediately turned her eyes away and continued her breakfast.

Meanwhile, Ren turned his eyes towards the outside of the window. Look closely at droplets after drops of falling water. The rain that makes a distinctive sound can make him sleep in the daydream so that he does not realize that a few minutes have passed.

Then not long after, the innkeeper came with a glass of still hot drink. He then gave Ren a glass of the drink with a listless smile.

"Don't hesitate to call me when you need something, Young Man."

The innkeeper left after a little talk, he again sat down before Nivania as he chuckled. The two of them then talked to each other in a low tone so that their conversation was confidential.

But it was useless because there was no one else in the room but the three of them. Keeping the topic of conversation from Ren could be said to be a futile thing because he was able to hear everything.

As a result, all the talks of those who do not want to be known by others can certainly be known by Ren very easily. It feels like Ren has committed a fraud because he seems to be able to do everything when in reality it is not like that.

The atmosphere between the innkeeper and Nivania felt quite heavy. Especially the expression of the innkeeper who was dominated by worry and confusion.

The innkeeper let out a lethargic sigh as he said, "I'm getting more and more unsettled."

Nivania finished eating breakfast. After tidying the tableware to the side of the table, he also ascertained the source of the innkeeper's worries.

"Regard Vinri?" ask Nvania.

The innkeeper looked towards the door while replying to Nivania's question.

"Yes, where is that kid? Never had he wandered around for two days like this. Usually, the longest he goes out is one day, and not even one day."

Nivania was pensively confused. Let alone him as a stranger who does not know Vinri well, even the innkeeper who looks close to Vinri does not know where Vinri is, Vinri, therefore he only acts as a listener who gives little advice or enter.

"Maybe he went to his friend?" nvania terka.

For a girl of Vinri's age, going out to play with a friend is commonplace, and is the most plausible reason why she disappeared other than to go back to see her family. However, the innkeeper shook his head slowly as if rejecting Nivania's conjecture.

"It's impossible, I know almost all of his activities every day. I never saw him go out with a friend his age. He also told me that he was an orphan, he had no friends, and considered me as the only person closest to him."

Hearing that, Nivania instantly fell silent. He does not want to draw bad conclusions, or make baseless prejudices, until Vinri's whereabouts can be found he can only hope that Vinri is okay.

"Mhm, has Madam noticed anything strange with Vinri lately?"

The innkeeper was stunned as he tried to recall all the moves from Vinri over the past few days. As a result, the innkeeper remembered that for the last two days before Vinri disappeared, Vinri had always been pale-faced.

"Ah yes. Four days ago, after returning from the market to buy supplies of groceries, Vinri was acting a little strangely. His face looked very pale and lethargic, like he was experiencing a fear that he was trying to hide. At that time, I thought he had a fever or something, never thinking anything strange other than that."

Nivania immediately woke up after hearing the innkeeper's explanation. He thinks that Vinri's condition may be under threat at this time, so he changes his plans and intends to search for him immediately.

"Maybe it! Could Vinri be involved in a problem but reluctant to tell others? Then, we must find him immediately!"

Nivania immediately ran to the second floor of the inn. That he did so quickly, even the innkeeper had not yet responded to his decision.

Ren who heard and watched all of their conversations yawned from boredom. According to him, what Vinri experienced was only a small problem, the worst possibility was nothing more than an ordinary kidnapping, nothing special.

Ren then leaned back while slightly looking up. His eyes looked at the ceiling of the room, and his mind wandered here and there.

"But ... problems will never disappear from the world, huh?" muttered Ren slowly.

At that time Nivania came down from the second floor wearing fairly complete fighting equipment. Different from most women in the world, Nivania seems to be in the camp of women who are fast and agile, both in work and the process of dressing up.

Everything was evident from the time it took for Nivania to change fixtures. Not only changing the clothes worn into light armor, but even facial makeup did not forget to apply.

It made Ren wonder at heart, did Nivania really want to fight, or follow some kind of beauty party?

The innkeeper immediately confronted Nivania, he knew very well what Nivania was going to do. Their feelings were the same, which was worrying about Vinri who was likely in serious trouble. However, he felt bad about having to leave everything to people he had not known for a long time, especially this matter was high-risk.

"Son, don't be rash! If something really bad happens to Vinri, shouldn't we ask more experienced people for help?"

Nivania shook her head saying, "No, if we ask others for help will anyone guarantee that Vinri is still safe at that time? Who can we ask for help? Let the lady think carefully. Vinri, he has to make sure he's safe!"

DRETTA ....

The swipe sound caught the attention of Nivania and the innkeeper. They saw that Ren got up from his seat and approached them both with tired eyes.

For various reasons, Nivan was silent. He looked down with puzzled eyes because in fact, he did not know where to begin the Vinri search in this vast city.

"Don't know?"

Nivania spontaneously shook her head slowly.

"I don't know where to start, but there's gonna be some kind of clue."

Ren stared doubtfully, then he walked towards the inn door and opened the door. The cold wind that blew was instantly felt by the three of them, and the scene from outside the room that was drenched in rain was seen by them.

"Hmm .. quite heavy rain. Are you sure you want to look for him under these circumstances?"

Despite asking, Ren had actually expected the answer Nivania would give. This charge was taken based on the fact that Nivania's nature was quite stubborn and upheld the value of kindness.

"I will do it anyway" Nivania replied earnestly.

So far Nivania's answer is still as expected. It's just, Ren doesn't know the reason behind Nvania being helpful to people. Was he doing it because of some other intention, or was it purely because he wanted to do good?

Ren asked again, "Why are you so adamant? Not necessarily the woman is in a life-threatening condition, right?"

Reason that makes sense, and also does not make sense at the same time. However, Vinri's situation is still unclear, and this is an important factor that can be considered not to make rash decisions, he said, but on a different side there are indications of where Vinri might be in danger, and no one will know until when he will survive.

"Indeed, but I can't calm down before conditions are confirmed."

Ren was quite satisfied to hear the recognition of Nivania who was still firm in its stance. There is no such thing as true goodness, but there is nothing wrong with goodness itself.

"Already, Son. It's too dangerous for you to look for him alone. Wait for me to ask for help, only then do we look for him together, huh?" the owner of the inn in the middle of the conversation.

But unbeknownst to them, Ren has embarked on a quest for Vinri in his own way. In a matter of seconds, he had discovered where Vinri's whereabouts turned Vinri in a shovel in an underground warehouse with a very weak body condition.

"Unfortunately, we don't seem to have enough time for that" Ren told the two of them.

The two stared confusedly then asked together, "What does that mean?"

Instead of replying to their questions directly, Ren yawned while stretching out his hands as if warming up.

"A very short holiday. It seems, peace is not on my side?"

Ren's entire body glowed, the impact of the abundant mana began to show a reaction to the control done by him. Where it began to dance around, surrounding its body in a certain beautiful pattern.

Nivania who knew magic power well was amazed by the sight. But as expected, Nivania could not guess what kind of magic Ren would use with that much mana.

While the innkeeper, he did not know either the magic power and which one was the main key to its formation, only he remained staring in awe at the beautiful and astonishing flickering of light throughout Ren's body.

"What are you gonna do, Ren?" Nivania looked a little anxious when she asked.

Ren glanced a little and gave an answer, "Just help you a little."

It was at once that a small, semi-transparent green magic circle appeared under Ren's feet. While the magic circle is in the room, but the resulting impact occurs outdoors, namely the sky of Aulzania City which is cloudy and raining.

A concentrated wind appeared among the overcast clouds, further solidifying and solidifying until it finally reached its highest concentration level and exploded. Produces a powerful wind wave over the sky that causes a cloud of cloudy clouds and rain to fall quickly.

Almost all people in the city of Aulzania are aware of this sudden phenomenon, and some of them think that this is a rare natural phenomenon, but there are also some people who know that this phenomenon is caused by someone's magic.

As a person who included understanding magic, Nivania finally understood why Ren said "Slightly help you" and it turned out that this was the result; the rain had stopped which meant making it easier for her to do the search.

"Thank you, it helped me a lot" Nivania said as she walked out of the inn.

Ren who opened his eyes shortly after releasing the unregistered magic immediately stopped Nivania's steps by holding her shoulders slowly.

"Wait, I'm not done yet."

Sontak Nivania let go of her shoulder, and turned towards Ren with a curious and astonished expression.

"Ren, I don't have much time. What else?"

Ren then pulled out a copy of the map from the city of Aulzania. At some point south of the city, in a small building he made a red circle and handed the map to Nivania.

"Go there, you'll find a clue. Remember to be careful."

Ren's words left Nivania and the innkeeper a little confused about how to find out that there was some kind of clue. However, driven by time, Nivania did not care much about it and just nodded and ran away.

"Son, letting women go into danger alone, are you sure?" asked the innkeeper very worried.

Instead, Ren who was asked about it only replied with a slightly cold remark, "No problem. Instead I wonder, why the closest person to the woman was silent, why did she not immediately ask for help as she said earlier?"

The innkeeper looked surprised, he then nodded and immediately ran outside the inn in a hurry.

"Son! I'll leave the inn to you for a minute!" he screamed from a distance.

Ren only sighed, then went to his room to change clothes and get ready to head to the royal palace.
