The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Hot News #157

After spending the trip for one day, Altezza with his friends finally arrived in Beladon City right in the afternoon, the place where they would look for a boat ride to be able to sail back to the Middle Continent. When he arrived in the city, there were many groups of adventurers who passed by filling the sidewalk which was very crowded.

"I'll try to find out about a ride that could take us back to the Middle Continent." Aaron immediately took the initiative to go looking for information regarding some of the sailing ships that made it possible to take them away to the Central Continent.

"Okay, careful! We meet again at this point" Eugene said, pointing to the crossroads directly in front of the port's entrance as a gathering or reunion point for Aaron.

Aaron then goes into the harbor area, while Eugene, Alaia, and Altezza decide to go for a snack. A long journey that is quite tiring of course, plus supplies that have been thinning. Buying some snacks including food that can be stored is the best option.

Walk through the city, among the density of community activity. Altezza and his two friends began to visit one by one the stalls and shops to find and buy good food in the city. But when walking past the newsstands, Altezza's steps were successfully made to a halt by one of the top news topics on offer.

"You go first, I want to read the newspapers here for a while" Altezza told his two friends.

"Good! Don't get lost, yeah ...!" sahut Alaia, looking back, smiled, and waved her one hand.

The black-haired man decided to read some of the newspapers that were there, along with some pedestrians who happened to also pass by. The kiosk was very crowded, even Altezza had to be willing to be a little jostling to be able to read and find out what news was hot.

"The darkness has come!! The darkness has come!!"

A stall guard man loudly and loudly called for one of the hot news while lifting one of the newspaper sheets containing articles about it.

"Central Europe is in an emergency!! The great war against the Devil Nation has begun!! Will the repetition of history happen???" said the kiosk keeper, while making buying and selling transactions to many buyers who want to buy his newspaper.

Altezza fell silent right in front of the stall, and read one of the sheets of the newspaper plastered there. His attention was stolen by a large newspaper article that read, "The Kingdom of Zephyra together with the Kingdom of Victoria and the Kingdom of Lagarde was engaged in a great battle with the Dark Forces who managed to invade the Land of Zephyra. But the waves of troops from the three kingdoms had fallen when the first battle took place in the Pearl Territory, and by force the region had to fall into the hands of the Dark Forces."

Silent and fixated, Altezza was completely rendered silent after reading one of the articles written on the paper, before then his body was forced to be displaced by many people who wanted to buy newspapers at the stall.

At the same time, the roar of the cavalry's footsteps rang out, those who numbered more than tens of them passing through the streets right in front of Altezza, made the man then look towards the entrance of the harbor which was already filled with a lot of soldiers from the Kingdom of Neverley. Altezza decided to step up, returning to the starting point or meeting point determined by his friends.

"They were so crowded, it seemed that they were about to sail to the Middle Continent. What's going on, yeah ...?" muttered Aaron, suddenly standing next to the Altezza with a look towards the docks in the harbor.

In addition to sailing ships carrying goods and civilian passengers. Piers at the port are also seen filled with a lot of large warships belonging to the Kingdom of Neverley, seen from the sail of the ships depicting the logo of the Kingdom of Neverley is the sun.

"Have we got the ship?" altezza asked, turning his head and looking at Aaron next to him.

Aaron nodded, "we can depart just as the sun sinks."

"The sun is sinking, yes ...?" altezza murmured with his gaze inclined downward, and both arms folded over his chest. He looked very agitated, unable to calm down and patient.

"Is there a problem?" asked Aaron, turned his head and looked at Altezza with a strange and curious look.

Altezza shook his head and replied, "ti-no," doubtfully, "i hope ..," he continued in a whispered tone unheard by Aaron, and turned his face slightly in the opposite direction as he muttered.

"Look, isn't that a noble ship?" cetus Aaron, pointing towards one of the docks. On the dock there is a luxury gold-plated ship filled with many warriors.

"The ship belongs to Neverley Palace," said Altezza, looking flat expressionless at the sight of the luxury ship - an expression very much in comparison to Aaron who seemed amazed.

"Did the princess get on that ship?" asked Aaron, turned his head and looked at Altezza.

"Maybe" Altezza's short answer, turned his head and smiled faintly then.
