The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
Silent City

The next day, after they came out of the inn. Israhi and the others, of course including Altair and Mira immediately left for another place using the train they rented. But.. compared to the word 'Hire' may be more appropriate if you say Mira bought it with Altair money and the same price as when renting it.

Because Mira has absolutely no intention of returning it after use. After all the owner is the boss of the person who attacked them yesterday at the restaurant. A smooth and easy revenge.

" Teacher... You stole this train today. And tomorrow, your face will be plastered all over the city as a wanted thief" Altair said after hearing the plan with a flat face.

While Mira who was sitting in front with Yi just laughed hearing that, "Gyahahaha... Let's just say this is their compensation for us. His mistake was to let his men carelessly "he said casually.

But as she was not the only one who liked it, "I agree. "even Yi who was controlling the horse said so.

Altair doesn't believe this, he's a bunch with two guys who have the mind of a thief. Plus he was speechless anymore as one of them was the teacher who had taught him all along.

But Remilia then said, "By the way, Altair." making Altair who heard his name called also turn to him. " ...About that mask last night, where did you get that?" ask him to Altair.

Altair who heard her was puzzled as to why she was curious, but she also did not need to lie to him.

" It's a relic of my friend, he died 5 years ago, he gave it to me as a memento. If it is not wrong he also said that the mask is the legacy of his teacher." replied Altair.

Making Remilia who heard him nod in understanding, but Altair was still curious about it. " Is there something wrong with the mask? Know him? " ask Altair to them.

Which was later confirmed by Aksa, "Yeah, we've met the owner of the mask before. And seeing him exterminate a lot of monsters all by himself, he's really really great" he said.

" really? " Altair was enthusiastic to hear that.

" Of course, he even earned a very cool nickname. "

" Nickname??"

Altair was more curious about it, when then Israhi mediated. " He was given the nickname 'The Believing Lord' "he said briefly.

Altair was amazed by that, and his nickname made sense. Because he can control the wind as he pleases. Listening to the story of the greatness of Milya made Altair so eager to see how she fought more than before, it was a pity that she was gone. Thank goodness she is not suffering anymore.

By the way, from earlier on he did not listen to Israhi and the others called Milya by her name. He's confused by that...

" Is he just called by his nickname, why not use his name??" ask Altair.

" Because he never told anyone what his name was. If anyone had met her, she would have been called Miss Beliung or Miss mask only "answered Yi who had listened to their story earlier.

" Oh..." Altair only ria ria heard that, a moment later he smiled happily because he was the only one who knew what his name was.

And Remilia caught that strange attitude, "Why? You know what his name is?" tanyanya.

" Hehe... It seems so. "Antair replied to him.

" Seriously?! Know it? Let's tell us what his name is." Hearing that makes Aksa so excited again.

" no. It's a secret "but Altair isn't that easy to tell.

" Any, come on..." Even Aksa who was so excited was very curious as to what his friend's name was.

Quite a long time passed in the middle of their conversation, not felt then they arrived at another city on the road they went through. But the city is very strange... It's a quiet place, too quiet if you want to be more specific.

" The village is very quiet" said Altair, peering out, there was no one on the street.

" yeah.. Though the city is usually crowded with people, because it became a center of trade between the Lost kingdom and the star kingdom. "sahut Israhi who made Altair turn to him.

" How do you want to? Are we just going through? Or ask the people around?" ask her later.

While Israhi who heard that only looked at him silently, Altair looked like she could read his thoughts at this moment. He did think to stop for a moment because he had an acquaintance there.

But Altair who heard him just laughed, he replied. " No, I can only read the aura. You're worried about this town, aren't you??"

Israhi could not deny it, then she turned to her other friends. No one would mind if he really wanted to stop, they would follow him.

So as can be guessed, Israhi decided for them to pause in the city. He led them to the place where his acquaintance was, and stopped there. They stopped at a pretty big house in town.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

Israhi knocked on the door of the house, and soon someone opened the door for them...

" ah. Israhi, long time no see. "greet that man who is the master of this house.

" Yes, long time no see, Aron. I want to know what happened here, "said Israhi also frankly.

" Oh, so is it. All right, everybody get in. We better talk about everything inside before anyone shows up, " said Aron then let them in while looking around.

After entering there, Israhi decided to talk alone with her acquaintance. So the others went to wait in the guest room, while Israhi went with her acquaintances to her room.

They immediately sat down and talked seriously about the condition that occurred in the city at this time...

" So what happened??" israhi started their conversation.

Aron seemed unsure whether to say it or not, but in the end he decided to say it.

" In fact, since a while ago, this city was suddenly attacked by monsters. And until now it still continues "he said directly to his core.

Of course Israhi who heard him was quite surprised by that, when it felt like only a few months ago he came to this city. But suddenly... monster attack??

" Say more detail" said Israhi also more serious.

" Yes, as I said. At the same time as the monsters arrived, there was also a group of strange people who said that we had to make offerings. We don't know who it is, and all requests for help we send are always denied. In the end all we could do was shut up and avoid. The current condition of the city is severely paralyzed, there is no activity whatsoever and no income whatsoever. The people who survive are increasingly worried about this sustainable condition." explained Aron at length.

Hearing that made Israhi more serious, he felt that something was wrong with the group in question. Their motives and goals are also unclear, what offering should be made until it has to do something like this??

Meanwhile in the guest room, Altair is currently showing the gift he got five years ago from Mirion to Aksa.

" Wow, cool. You are so great to be able to get this precious gift." said Aksa while looking at the bow carefully.

" yes, right? I've always wanted to try it, but I don't really know how to shoot. All this time I've only focused on practicing the spear and sword. If you have time.... Are you going to teach me??" pinta Altair with eyes sparkling with hope.

Seeing Altair acting like that, it felt really dazzling. Even Aksa felt like that, "Goodness, fine. I can't refuse her if you're this funny." she replied as she closed her eyes.

While on the other hand, they could only smile speechlessly hearing his extremely exaggerated like that. But Altair wins are funny in their eyes at least for now.

Then Remilia realized Israhi's arrival, "How were you talking, what happened? " the question is very curious.

Hearing her ask like that also made the others look at Israhi curiously, while Israhi was seen sighing for a moment.

He then looked at them seriously, "The city is in a prolonged situation because of the monsters that keep coming. "said Israhi who made his other friends jerked in shock.
