The Last Incarnation Of The Land Of Arden
Zack [Finished]

The Shinrin Kingdom, had five major Guilds that were under the supervision of Verza. Verza is the Shinrin Chief of Security or can be called a confidant of Shinrin King Agleer Linus.

The five Guilds consisted of: Knights and Soldiers Guild captained by Agleer Baal, Shinrin Investigator Guild captained by Ren ve Marsyal, Research Guild captained by Clye Jafar, and, The Security and Society Guild was captained by Silviam Beal, and the Demon Eradication Guild was captained by Klyezt Nel.

The Demon Eradication Guild used to be the Guild that occupied the first position, but due to the incident of attacking the magic wolves, the Demon Eradication Guild and the Investigating Guild that the Society had so strongly trusted, had lost their stars in its heyday.

However, the Investigating Guild managed to rise up and the Demon Eradicating Guild became a mockery of society in their indiscretions of cracking down against Devils and in protecting its own members who often returned home in lifeless circumstances.

The research guild had a mutual symbiotic relationship with the Demon Eradication Guild as well as the investigator Guild. Research Guilds, heavily relied on the Demon Eradication Guild. This, happened because, the research Guild gave the task to the investigating guild to investigate the location that needed to be researched and find a way for the Devil Nation to be difficult to enter into the Shinrin.

After the investigation period and get a guess if the place investigated there are traces of Satan, The Investigating Guild transferred the case to the Demon Eradication Guild to find out whether or not a Devil existed in the research and investigation area.

After making the intrusion, the demon eradication Guild reported the results to the Investigating Guild and the Research Guild for evaluation.

The results of the evaluation will find a conclusion. From the results of the conclusion can be drawn an outline by the Demon Eradication Guild to find the next location of the Devil and to strengthen their strategy in attacking the weak points of the demons.

Then, the relationship of the Demon eradication Guild was very bad with the Shinrin Security and Community Guild. This happened because the Shinrin Security and Society Guild had a different view to the Demon Eradication Guild. According to them, the Demon Eradication Guild deeply did not love lives and would do anything to their success. Whether it's destroying the Shinrin or killing the citizens with excuses as bait.

****************

Zack goes to Shinrin Security and Community Headquarters. He asked for a letter signed by Razel to enter the Security and Community Headquarters with the bottom line of the search for places and people disguised as demons.

The letter was rejected outright by Viam (Captain of the Security and Community Guild).

"Don't use this letter as your alibi to gain our trust. We trust the Research Guilds who are already experienced in seeing which ones are stealthy and which ones are human. When compared to cardboard, your letter has no price" Viam told Zack.

Zack immediately squeezed out the letter which was a stamp of Shinrin emblem and his Guild emblem.

"You'll regret knowing that my words are the truth" Zack left the base.

Zack immediately moved to Research Headquarters. He showed the letter to one of the research members in white and clean-looking uniforms. The appearance was very different from the Demon Eradication headquarters.

Zack follows one of the members of the Research Guild who takes him to the captain of the headquarters.

Zack's eyes surrounded every place he passed. The marble floors, the walls covered with clean white paint and the stairs made of iron were very different from the Demon Eradication Headquarters which was like living in a warehouse.

"It would be appropriate if Arthur said that the base for the eradication of demons is more suitable to be called a cage than a house" In fact, Arthur never said this.

The captain's room of the research headquarters is made of aluminum in the middle of which there is thick glass. Perhaps it could be estimated if the door was worth 4 gold coins. The door of the captain's room of the Demon Eradication Headquarters was only made of wood which had now started to porous.

Zack wants to curse.

"Captain, you have a guest from the Demon Eradication Headquarters" said the person who eradicated Zack.

"Who?" Jafar asked while looking out the door.

"Zack" replied Zack while showing Razel's license.

"Have him take a shower first" Jafar said as he sat down.

"Anj"

"I'm kidding. Come in" said Jafar.

"Jank!" Zack immediately cursed and entered into Jafar's private room.

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

Zack and Jafar started talking. Zack points out two objects left behind by the two demons.

Jafar began to research him with his magic. The two objects, hovering right in front of Zack and issuing circular magic inscriptions on the two objects.

"This is real. What family did you say this was from?" Jafar looked at each of the two objects with his magic.

"Alba" replied Zack.

"Alba?" Jafar asked as he raised one of his eyebrows and looked at Zack with a questioning look.

"Yes, they are servants of the Alba family. From their clothing model, I don't think the Alba clan is from an ordinary family. It would be illogical if they were from outside Shinrin" Zack replied.

"Can you explain in detail what your reasons are? I'll take notes and I'll send them to Marsyal as soon as possible" Jafar started taking out his notebook.

Jafar stopped writing. He remembered something about the mission Marsyal was carrying out for today for the next four days.

"Wait a minute" Jafar tapped on his wooden desk to think.

"Lowly, this has to do with the mission for the Demon Eradication Guild 8 more days. Well then, we'll wait for news from Marsyal. In the meantime, is there anything you want to say?" Ask Jafar.

Zack took out a small box from his bag and opened the small box. The contents inside the small box were the leftovers of fried rice. Jafar's face changed drastically. From the look of Jafar looks like saying ‘don't joke’.

“I'm not kidding. Try to eat this, this is from a store that I suspect" Zack said to reassure Jafar.

Jafar tried the taste of the food. It tastes good and Jafar is very familiar with the taste because he always ordered food from that place since the establishment of the place about Five weeks ago.

“This is food from a store near the Investigation Headquarters? It tastes good like this. I don't agree if you're charging him. Or maybe this is your reason for asking me out?” Jafar was joking.

Zack's face looked serious. “Najis if I date you. In this world, there are still attractive women" said Zack as he closed the small box of rice.

“Already Zack, don't be like that. I know that you hate Devils and Demons so much. But, do not let your bad thoughts rule you. The owner of the shop was old and he also lived alone. His wife and four children died from the incident six years ago. You remind me of that incident that killed your girlfriend? Lucy" Jafar stood up and patted Zack's back slowly.

DEGH!

Zack widened his eyes. He looked into Jafar's eyes.

“Tasks are tasks. Never put down your feelings or past incidents with your work. I never regretted Luci's death. He died to protect Shinrin. So, focus on the problem I reported today. Don't try to switch topicq!” Zack's assertion to Jafar.

Jafar looked at Zack with a pitying look. “I know that you still blame yourself for not being able to protect him" Jafar sat back in his chair.

Zack is the only person who disappeared during the incident six years ago. He is suddenly attacked by a mysterious cloaked figure and dumps Zack with his teleport magic into the forest. Until making Zack can not use his magic.

Zack was one of the people hit hard in the incident.

Jafar again wrote all of Zack's allegations to the owner of the store and everyone who had eaten at the place. Zack, too, asked Jafar to research Issac before he cut his contract with Issac. Zack does this to find out the truth about Issac. And Zack lied about an irrevocable contract.

Zack still let Nel and Liebe. He wanted all Guild members to be aware by themselves.

Zack returned to base in a bad mood. Arthur saw Zack who rarely expressed himself like that. He came to Zack before he left tomorrow. Arthur's heart felt like it would be left far away by the people around him.

“KAK ZACK!” Arthur immediately greeted Zack while giving Zack a chocolate candy.

Zack looked at the grimacing Arthur while rubbing his nape. “What's up? Tumben gave me candy?” Ask Zack while bagging the chocolate candy.

“That's sis, thank you for driving me back home” replied Arthur grimacing and nodding.

“Oh, sure. You welcome. When are you leaving?” Ask Zack who has seen the horse-drawn carriage behind Arthur.

“Later after dinner. He said the trip would take 8 hours. Tomorrow too, I must prepare to apologize to the Aosora higher-ups and will continue to apologize to all of Aosora's people for the three days there. Then, tomorrow the rapture ceremony will begin. This week will be a long week. May I live all of this strong” said Arthur who is still clueless.

Zack felt sorry for Arthur. He knew that Arthur was being fooled by the people around him.

“No Shinrin and no Aosora are the same" Zack told Arthur.

“Eh?” Arthur was shocked to hear Zack's words. He doesn't understand what it means.

“Why do you have to apologize to everyone Arthur? Your family's death case alone is closed unilaterally like this. Aren't you trying to accept your rights too?” Ask Arthur.

Arthur looked at the clear sky. “The case, closed by Uncle Barron who is now the temporary king of Aosora. This, too, could be supported by the kingdom of Meganstria as Aosora's sidekick. What would Shinrin do like that? The land of Shinrin used by Aosora was not Shinrin's right to rule it anymore. If Shinrin comes to the set up, there will be a conflict that will happen” Arthur said.

“I'm only a fraction of the ink that's on the paper. I can disappear at any time if the author loses his ink. New ink cannot match old ink. At least, on that piece of paper, there are still memories of me being created" continued Arthur.

“I'll make them remember me. If I'm not around, at least they can recognize my differences with other differences" Arthur smiled faintly at Zack and looked at the horse carriage.

Zack grabbed Arthur by the head and rubbed him.

“Be a great king. One day, you should be able to make people receive justice both rights and obligations equally. Your road must be long Arthur. If you become a great person later, don't forget us. Especially don't forget about Razel's deputy who fought for you to take shelter under the roof of the Demon Eradication. Yes" Zack told Arthur.

Arthur saw Zack, “Kak Zack, you look a lot like Brother Bram. It seems, you two will be friends in line. Brother Zack, if Kak Bram meets you should want to see him ya!” Arthur patted Zack on the back.

“Hahaha, it would be an honor for me” Zack said happily.
