The Traitor: Relic War
Chp. 22 Headed To the Kingdom of Nipotia For Side Duty

Night Day /Terrilla Kingdom

The Arthur Workspace

"Ekhem... This is the time for Zen warriors..." Arthur cleared his throat and pulled a piece of paper from his desk.

"It looks like you've heard about what happened at the academy well... Then it's good because there's something I want to ask you..." Zen Reply.

"Well, I've heard about it more or less than Elize, and from what she says you'll be their next target..."

"It's also if they can..." Zen walked over to the Bookcase Direction at the edge of the room then grabbed a small book from there.

"So what do you want to ask..."

"About prince Regurd... How do you explain it..." Zen said that without looking at Arthur who glanced at him and just continued to read a book that was in his grasp.

"This is a question I want to avoid..."

"Then you didn't tell Elize about the person who confessed to her sister?"

"Well, in order to prevent Elize's reckless behavior, I delayed telling her... But I'm sure sooner or later she'll find out about her brother, too.." Arthur sighed then put the paper he had taken back to the table.

"So you admit that he's your son and the older brother of Elize and Luna?" Zen averted his gaze from the book and looked at Arthur's anxious face.

"That's the fact"

"Well I won't demand you to explain the details either because I'm sure it's a family matter heavy enough to explain to an outsider like me..."

"Thank you for your understanding... What I want to ask you is about the person who betrayed the academy... Do you know who it is?"

"If I said you know... What are you gonna do... Arrest him continuing to interrogate?" Zen closed the book he read then put it back on the previous shelf.

"What else will I do?"

"Stupid... You will only endanger everyone in the academy and also in this kingdom..."

"Why do you say that..."

"Well, that's what's gonna happen if you do what you said... You're just going to provoke the movement of your son's rebel organization..."

"Then what to do... Do you want me to just sit back and do nothing..." Arthur slightly shouted while hitting the table nearby.

"I guess that's what I want you to do..." Zen's casual reply, his eyeballs playing as if rethinking what he had planned.

"Because they made me their next target then I'm sure they won't do anything before catching me and of course for that long they will focus on continuing to catch me... That's why I need you to get Elize and some fighters to keep an eye on Haley Slien as long as I go look for Regurd's whereabouts as well as all his organizations..." Connect her

"Don't tell me you suspect Haley Slien is a traitor at the academy..."

"Well, because it's a fact... But tell them not to do anything but watch over him... Because if they do anything suspicious I'm afraid Haley Slien will wake up..."

"I understand... But do you know where Regurd's organization is?"

"So far I can only conclude that their organization lies outside the kingdom..."

"Where can you deduce something so unconvincing..."

"Stop that... Only instinct as the traitor may be..." Zen shrugged his shoulders slightly while throwing away the face.

"I'll entrust this to you... But we must not linger long to solve this problem... In less than three months the Relic War will occur... The fighters as well as all members of the government should not be fixated on this matter... Because we all have to be ready for the second Relic War... Not to mention there's still a Uccisore to deal with..."

"You take it easy, old man Arthur... While investigating about the rebel organization... I will also be an eye in the kingdom of Nipotia..."

"Are you sure you can do it..."

"I'll solve this problem quickly... It may be a month at most until the matter is completely resolved..."

"All right, I'm giving it to you... Please resolve this matter as soon as possible..."

"May I ask you one more thing?"

"Please..."

"I heard that Yurina Oliver has enchantment magic... Actually how valuable is such magic?, Isn't it just a strengthening magic only?, Even during the Physical Test he took a long time..."

"That's because Rina hasn't been able to use her Magic to the fullest... His body would not be able to provide greater reinforcement than the capacity of his own body's strength..."

"So you mean enchantment magic will be very powerful depending on who the owner is..."

"The explanation from you is very difficult to digest... Isn't that obvious because they kidnapped Yurina Oliver for her magic..."

"That's not what it means..."

"So?"

"My point is. Because Rina can't bring out the full potential of Enchantment magic due to her weak body... They want to take the magic and move it to the right person..."

"What taking someone's magic is possible..."

"I don't know... That's just my estimate..."

"But somehow I think that's a reasonable explanation now..." Zen thought while holding his chin.

"I think the same... It would be extremely dangerous for this kingdom if they could truly bring out the full potential of Enchantment magic... Especially if they use it to join the kingdom of Nipotia in the Relic war later..."

"Well, I can see how hard you are at a time like this..."

"You understand the looks of it..."

"More or less... Well for now don't worry too much about this... I'll take care of it as I can..."

"Are you sure you don't need help..."

"No need, I don't want to carry a burden at a time like this..."

"Alright I understand, you don't have to worry about Elize, I won't tell her about this..." Arthur approached Zen then patted him on the shoulder.

"Well please, 'cause if he finds out he's gonna act rash again..." Reversing his body, Zen opened the tightly shut door and then stepped outside the room.

"I'm leaving tonight, too, so I want to bring some supplies..." Zen said before the door had not closed completely.

"Well, you can ask my personal servant to prepare it..." Arthur replies, then the door closes.

"Your Zen master is done" called out a voice from the side where Nania was standing while leaning against the wall.

"Well, I guess that's how it is... Thank you for waiting..." Zen Reply.

"No problem, Mr. Zen... Then please follow me..."

"Where?"

"Taking Supplies... Didn't you just ask your highness for that..."

"Ah okay... Thank you"

Night Day / Nipotia Kingdom

From the roof of the two-story building a shadow appeared by itself, and from the increasingly widened shadow a Zen figure appeared while carrying a small book in his hands, he wore an ash-grey robe without a head covering and only looked like a blanket that was in a circle around the neck.

"Wuahh seems like the atmosphere of the night here is very crowded compared to those in the Kingdom of Terarria..." He was amazed as he combed the scenery of the road below with his eyes.

"That's a good thing my magic is very easy to use at night... Otherwise I'll have to pass through that gate by morning..." The Ucaonya glanced to the right where there was a gate with an iron door guarded by several guards with a sinister stature.

After several glances back and forth, Zen walked to the edge of the building and jumped down into a small alley that was there.

"Hupp..." His small sigh then turned to his right and left side making sure no one saw him jump down.

And after feeling safe Zen again walked out the alley and began to blend in among the crowd of people who passed by.

His goal for now was to find a place to rest where he would continue his mission tomorrow morning to be more effective.

The bright lights of the street seem to make the atmosphere more crowded and also fun at the same time, very different from the Kingdom of Terarria which some of the city streets there is no lighting, but there is no lighting, making a crime can happen at any time.

Zen whose eyes continuously glanced where finally fixated on something in front of him, A moment after a small smile he walked a little quickly to catch up with the 13-year-old boy in front of him.

"All thieves... You're caught..." He said while holding the arm of the boy who now began to try to run into one of the alleys while carrying some fruit that he stored in his shirt.
