The Journey of the Strongest Ruler
CHAPTER 68

"Sister, how can you move so fast?" Noya asked curiously.

"I have the Wind element, the same as Sister Vienna. It's just that Sister Vienna hasn't been able to use it" Whana replied casually.

"I have the Wind element? That right? How do you know that? Can you help me use it? Is learning hard enough?" Vienna was shocked and immediately attacked Whana with a quick question.

Both Whana, Noya, Moni and Mori were stunned to stare at Vienna who uttered various sentences endlessly and without any word errors.

"Did your tongue not sprain saying so many words in one breath?" Noya asked in surprise.

"Huh. Brother, don't listen to him! Can you help me?" Vienna snorted at Noya and immediately hugged Whana's right arm.

Whana had yet to reply, an aura of Qi Refinement that felt instantly filled their area.

Bam

A muffled voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"He broke through to Qi Refinement." exclaimed Mori.

"Yes, he maximized his potential against the bear. You will get the same thing if you maximize your own potential." Whana explains to spark the spirits of her cousins.

Diman opened his eyes and looked towards Whana.

"Sister, thank you. If you don't tell me, I won't break through today." Diman told Whana sincerely.

"Come, let's continue south! It'll be late in the afternoon." Whana said to all her cousins.

In the afternoon, Whana and her group arrive at the edge of a certain cliff. Whana immediately remembered that it was at the bottom of the cliff that she found a soul tree.

"In front of us there is a very deep abyss. We rest at the base." Whana said casually.

"Sister, how do we get to the bottom? Moreover it is so deep?! Is it harmless at the base?" Vienna asked in surprise at Whana's invitation.

Whana instantly activated the wind wings and floated as high as 5 meters above them, "I'll take you in turns."

From above, the ravine looked pitch-black but when it had reached the bottom, everything seemed normal. They entered the gowa on the cliff wall that Whana had previously made.

"Sister, have you been to this place before?" Moni asked curiously because she felt that Whana was very familiar with the place she saw.

Whana nodded her head in response while smiling.

---- City District of Nabrajem -----

Almost 10 days into the trip, 2 giant birds appeared above the district town of Nabrajem.

"That's the royal bird, did something happen?" a snack vendor exclaimed to see a giant bird passing over it.

"Maybe there's something. It is rare for a royal to town our district." replied the other merchant.

The giant bird descended slowly right in front of the gate of the District Chief's residence.

"We are the royal envoy of Liba and would like to meet the District chief to convey the King's orders." The messenger commander spoke to the gatekeeper while showing the golden token in the middle of which was the purple-colored royal emblem of the Liba.

Looking at the token the envoy commander showed, the gatekeeper immediately kneeled down with one leg saluting. Immediately bring the royal envoy's entourage to the District chairman hall.

"District Chief, let's talk casually. This is also what the king told me." said the commander of the envoy.

The District Chief was stunned for a moment, because usually when he heard the king's word then the position must remain on his knees as an act of accepting the king's orders. But the district chief finally followed the messenger commander's remarks.

"The king has delivered 3 orders that the first, starting this year the district of Nabrajem will pay 50% tax than before for 100 years" the commander of the envoy said according to the king's order.

Hearing this, the district chief was overjoyed. He really did not think that the kingdom was actually paying attention to the territory he led.

"Secondly, the city of Ragane will be exempt from taxes for 100 years starting from this year." the envoy commander continued.

The District Chief was stunned, and asked in his heart, 'does all this have something to do with the city of Ragane?'

"Third, the value of your allowance as district chairman will be equal to the district supervisory officials which means it increased 2-fold starting this year" the commander added.

The heart of the district chief grew more and more flowery - his flowers and face were smiling brightly.

"Is there anything to ask?" seeing the cheerful and confused face of the district chief, the envoy commander immediately asked.

"Do all these gifts have anything to do with the city of Ragane, commander?" Asked the district chief curiously.

"Yes, but I don't have the right to tell you why. My job is to deliver and execute the king's orders." replied the commander.

"I will not linger long and immediately carry out the next order." added the commander who immediately stood up from his seat.

The envoy commander and his entourage immediately set off towards the city of Ragane.

"What happened in the city of Ragane until my district received a reward of this magnitude? Looks like I should investigate it and start paying attention to this city." murmured the district chief.

---- Forest of Death ------

During these few days, Whana accompanied her cousins to train on the outskirts of the Deathly Forest border. Everyone had already started to feel the benefits of this short training.

"Sister, thank you for taking us in this training. If it wasn't for you. We won't have this incredible increase." Noya said as she cut up the flesh of a savage beast to roast.

"Noya is right, if it wasn't for you other than a breakthrough I wouldn't be able to sense the Wind element." Vienna also thanked him.

"Do I have elements too?" Mori, Moni, Noya and Diman suddenly asked in unison as if they had arranged the time to work together.

"Eh? Why the same?" Moni smiled awkwardly and embarrassedly - embarrassed. Finally everyone laughed out loud - bahak.

"Sir Moni also has light elements, but after the 9th level can only be felt. Brother Mori has the same fire element as Brother Noya. Kak Diman has the element of land. But for the three of you to be able to sense when you are already at the High Qi Refinement Stage, at least the early 8th level." Answer Whana explained.

"Sister, how do you know all this?" Ask the astonished Diman.

"I don't know. I can only feel it from your breath. I hope that you will not say anything to others either about this element that you possess or this ability of mine." Whana asked with a solemn expression.

"Yes, I get it. It could cause disaster for our families if it gets scattered." Diman immediately understood what Whana meant.

"Yes, I agree too. The strength of our family is far from being able to meet greedy people or groups." Mori continued Diman's statement.

Everyone nodded seriously to keep it a secret.
