It had been more than five minutes of Reinar down the river, he finally found the source of the drought experienced by the city of Touloun. A pile of thousands of stones dammed the stream, and faintly Reinar still felt the demonic aura left in its place.
“From the rest of the aura left behind, I don't need to find out who did.” Said Reinar.
[In the vicinity of this place I did not discover the existence of demons. It is likely that the perpetrator who dammed the river was a demon that the lord had conquered.]
“The devil is a crafty creature, chances are there are of those who managed to escape.” Said Reinar.
Not wanting to waste much time, Reinar began to crush the stones that blocked the flow of the river. Reinar created hundreds of fireballs the size of a human head, and he aimed his fireball at the pile of rocks that he was targeting.
It took thirty minutes to smash through the entire rock, and Reinar had to willingly lose fifty percent of his MP.
As soon as the pile of rocks that had dammed the river was destroyed, the water rushing towards the stream that passed through the city of Touloun. Reinar's curved lips formed a smile upon seeing the success of his efforts.
Seeing the water that had flowed normally, instead of directly returning to the city of Touloun, Reinar went around ensuring the safety of the river flow.
“They seem to have deliberately dammed the flow of the river to lure humans to come to this place. Once the humans come, they will be caught and made food by the demons.” The muttered Reinar who had just realized the purpose of the demons dammed the flow of the river.
“The whole river flow is safe, it is time to come back and surprise them.” Reinar grinned widely, and at full speed he shot towards the city of Touloun.
...*****...
At the same time, there has been tension at the residence of the Mayor of Touloun City.
Hugo, Xavier, and Jeny, those who were messengers of the Arkana Empire. In the name of the Empire, they wanted to occupy the city of Touloun and replace the newly elected Mayor.
“This is strange, why the city that he said will soon collapse but is doing massive development.” Said Jeny who was in the Mayor's residence.
After leaving Reinar, the three of them went straight to the city of Touloun and came to the Mayor's residence.
“Master, the Mayor is not currently in place. Kindly for gentlemen to wait patiently.” Said the city security guard who was in charge of guarding the Mayor's residence.
The three of them were silent while staring at each other. “We are messengers of the Arkana Empire. Without the presence of the mayor even though we will still do what is our duty.” Hugo said with a serious face.
“Master, what do you mean?.” Asked the soldier with an annoyed look towards Hugo.
“This is none of your business.” Hugo said so calmly.
“I hope the gentlemen do not do anything before the presence of the Mayor.”
Hugo was impatient, he stood up and grabbed the neck of the soldier in front of him, and threw the soldier until he hit the wall. “This city from this second is under my control in the name of the Arkana Empire. Let's just say your Mayor is dead, and I'm the Mayor of this starting Hugo paused his words as he felt someone touch his shoulder.
The few guard soldiers who saw who the figure behind Hugo was, they immediately knelt down and lowered their heads. The actions of the guard soldiers actually make Xavier and Jeny because they feel they are being respected, without them knowing there is another figure behind them.
“I'm still alive, why should I be considered dead?.” Said the figure behind Hugo who instantly disperse what Xavier and Jeny were feeling.
The figure behind Hugo fell silent, then he pulled his hand that was touching Hugo's back.
“Do you want to kill me?. Didn't you guys almost die before I helped you?. Is this a reply to your helper?.” Said the figure behind Hugo so calmly.
Feeling that he recognized the voice behind him, Hugo immediately turned the body that his two friends followed.
“Re Reinar!.” The words in unison Hugo and his two friends with both eyes bulging wide looked towards Reinar, the figure that had originally stood behind Hugo.
“I am indeed Reinar, but I am also the mayor of this city, and sorry to have made such an important envoy as you are waiting for my presence.” Said Reinar with a cynical smile that was so demeaning to his interlocutor.
The bodies of Hugo, Xavier and Jeny instantly trembled as soon as they knew the figure of the Mayor they wanted to get rid of.
“Since the beginning I told the three of you to just go back to your Empire, but you guys insisted on coming, and even wanted to forcibly take my post. Just so you know, this city will not submit to your Empire, and you know that it is not the rule of this continent?.” Reinar paused his words and stared alternately at the three people who were in front of him.
“A Kingdom or Empire, they are prohibited from attacking a city that is not affiliated with a Kingdom or Empire. If it still insists on attacking, then that Kingdom or Empire will become the enemy of all the forces in this continent.”
Hugo and the others fell silent. They did not expect that anyone would know about the rule in the city of Touloun, one of such a remote city.
“Who exactly is this Reinar?.” Hugo said to his heart.
Hugo felt that Reinar's facial lines, as well as Xavier and Jeny's, felt that Reinar's face was not foreign, and felt quite familiar.
“Wait first!. Reinar, isn't that the name of the second Prince, lest?.” Hugo looked at Reinar, and his gaze met Reinar's blue eyes which he knew for a moment the truth that was only in his mind.
“Pa Pa Prince...” Hugo immediately fell to his knees in front of Reinar.
Reinar suddenly gripped and pulled on Hugo's clothes. “Do not go on what you want to say.” Reinar said softly, but Hugo could still hear.
Hugo nodded, but his body trembled more and more to find the reality before his eyes.
The second prince was never considered to be of existence by the Emperor, but anyone knew of the figure of the Empress who always stood behind the second Prince. Who in the Arkana Empire does not know if the figure of the Empress is more feared than the figure of the Emperor.
“Brother, why are you kneeling and silent being treated like that by the lowly Mayor of a city in the middle of nowhere?.” Xavier said blatantly insulting Reinar's figure.
“Xavier better you shut up!.” Snap Hugo.
“Brother Hugo, why are you yelling at me?.” Asked Xavier who was feeling annoyed after Hugo snapped at him.
“You should have known before asking.” Said Hugo who was still kneeling in front of Reinar.
Feeling something strange with Hugo after staring at Reinar, Xavier and Jeny began to observe Reinar from toe to head. Then when they looked Reinar in the eye, they immediately knew what Hugo was saying, and they immediately knelt down.
Reinar was calm seeing the three people in front of him kneel down. Even now he is the center of attention of all the security personnel of the Mayor's residence.
“Better you guys leave this city soon, and never dare you come again!.” Reinar said firmly.
“Prince, we will leave soon.” Hugo replied to Reinar.
“Go, and I hope you keep my whereabouts a secret from your Emperor.” Reinar.
Hugo, Xavier and Jeny nodded. “Then we will go now.” Hugo said and immediately he and his two friends left just like that.
“If only they knew that I was not their real Prince, maybe they would not obey me.” Reinar said inwardly while looking at the three people who were walking further and further away.
The security guards who were guarding the Mayor's residence, they did not hear the conversation of Reinar and Hugo's group. For the time being, Reinar's identity has still not been revealed.
“You call all the nobles, and have them gather in the meeting hall!. Something I want to discuss with them.” Finished giving Reinar orders to go to his room to just clean up.
[Master still has a chance of calling a subordinate. Doesn't the master want to call him?]
Lilia's voice sounded in Reinar's mind.
“About what kind of subordinates will I call?.” Ask Reinar.
[As usual, no one knows what kind of subordinate the master will call.]
“I do need someone to accompany me in this city, so let's call a subordinate.”
[Call a subordinate.]
Unlike the previous summoning, this time it appeared not only a circular portal, but a portal with a large golden door.
When the door opened, out came the figure of a mature woman who was very beautiful, charming and so graceful. On the woman's back was a wing and in her right hand a spear.
“Rhea saluted mister.” the figure that made Reinar amazed was now kneeling in front of him.
Reinar receives Rhea's respect, and at the same time she uses her appraisal skills to see Rhea's identity.
[Name] : [Rhea]
[Good] : [ ? ]
[Ras] : [Angel of Heaven]
[Level] : [ ? ]
[The master level is still too low to see Rhea's level.]
“Angel sky, even I am still too weak to see his level status. Oi... Oi... Oi... How strong is he?.”
