X-Loves: From Another World
Chapter 44: Kampung Haman

“What? Azazel and his four Elders have already appeared?”

“True once, sir. The first elder, Ika, appeared in North Bacan and we were defeated. And now we are about to go to Lhokseumawe to defeat the second Elder, Zui,”.

“Huff. Why didn't the Sacred Library Guards Meratus say anything, huh? What could she not forget?”

“What? You know the Sacred Library Guard?”

Anna and Dwi are surprised to hear it, another case with Aldy who already knows what he means.

“The head of this secret village already knows about it, this village is protected by the Sacred Library Guard as well,” Aldy said.

“Oh, so..”

For information, the Sacred Library Guard had the right to appoint one person to have the same authority as himself, accessing the sacred library. Usually this is done on someone who has a close kinship with him, as Pearl did to Aldy Heraldy, although there are some requirements in particular.

But it seemed that in this case, the Sacred Meratus Library Guard appointed others to have the same authority. Not too surprising actually if it can happen, this is a secret village hidden in the middle of the Borneo forest. His existence was untouched by any map in this Tierra Hyuma, only in the sacred library alone. There might be a contract of agreement between the Sacred Meratus Library Guard and the Village Chief in order to be able to connect with each other.

Solaris had not yet risen in the eastern horizon, but the three of them had already woken up to prepare for their departure to Lhokseumawe.

“Hmm... If Azazel has appeared, it means that the world is really in serious danger,” said the village head while sipping his coffee.

“True once, sir. But we're not just gonna give up. It has become imperative for us to save the planet,” Anna said.

The village chief smiled at her, amazed by the blonde girl's spirit.

“Ah, you are indeed very excited, young lady. Perhaps this is what the ancient record of Tidore tells us about the people who would save the planet from Azazel. And I believe that you are the chosen ones,”

The morning wind gently blew behind them. And not long after, two villagers entered the room.

“Pak Village Chief, His kite we have fixed,”

“Ah, have you? Alright. You check first, afraid there is still something broken,” said the village chief to the three.

They also immediately approached Layang which had been repaired by the villagers. The vehicle appeared to be parked in front of the village chief's house.

“Wah, this is great,” praise Aldy.

The result did not disappoint. It appeared that the part of the wing that was torn off had been covered back and coated by a much stronger material. The broken glass has also been repaired. Its Lay Paint has also been updated to be more sleek. The villagers were quite skilled in repairing the machine, especially they did have sufficient equipment. The village chief had kept his promise to the three of them.

Finally after preparing a number of small items, the three of them also say goodbye to the village head and the residents. Not to forget they also thanked them for helping them repair the flying vehicle.

“Thank you for helping us capture Kyant and stop this terror problem,” said the village chief.

“Hehe.. It is precisely we who should be grateful for repairing our vehicles. Now we can continue the journey to Lhokseumawe,” Anna said.

“By the way, forgive me for not being able to provide more help than this. I can only pray and hope, hopefully you can win the fight,” continued the village chief.

“Thank you for your prayer. We promise we will defeat him in the fight and save the planet,” Dwi replied.

Kite Engine on. The vehicle's wings are wide. Shortly after, the magic vehicle flew into space, leaving the secret village. Villagers wave, hoping the three can save the planet. Less than a minute they flew, the existence of the village had already disappeared without a trace.

…

Nearly an hour later they flew west, over the tip of Borneo and now in the middle of the vast ocean. Only a few more nautical miles they will find the islands before finally entering the Siak Region on the island of Sumatra.

“Ah... Still a long way huh?” moaning Anna while looking down Layang. Only the deep blue sea below is visible that Solaris has not fully illuminated.

“A minute until now. Later we will find something interesting,” replied Aldy.

It did not feel Solaris had also risen in the eastern horizon. If they were on land near the settlement, it may now be heard that chickens crowed from all directions. Anna was getting saturated, especially the drowsiness that still attacked her because she could not sleep well yesterday. But it paid off after Aldy showed them interesting views.

“Hey, you guys must love that. Look,” exclaimed the white-haired man.

They have reached the other island, Sumatra. More precisely they have arrived at Aldy Heraldy's hometown, Siak. Just below them there is a fairly large city with typical Malay architecture. Also seen in the north, a magnificent yellow building adorns the scenery. Aldy said that the building was a palace, and it happened that the palace was almost similar to Siak Sri Inderapura Palace in the real world where Anna and Dwi came from.

“Keren,” praise Dwi.

Not only focusing on the architecture of the city, the activities of the people below also attract their attention. It seems that people are passing through the streets of the city, some are exercising, trading, and practicing magic. Several yellow sailboats are also seen anchored at the dock. Many Layangs are also seen flying here and there to their destination. This city is really very lively.

“Ahh. I'm sure you're happy to have such a beautiful hometown, Kak Aldy,” Anna muttered, but the Da class president didn't think so.

“Not really,”

“What? This place is very crowded and beautiful. Why can't you stay here?” Anna was surprised to hear that.

“I do not live in the city, but in the interior of the forest quite far from here,”

“What? Forest?”

Aldy turned his steering wheel north, then continued his words again.

“Tia and I live in a small house in the middle of the forest. We lived without any parents accompanying us. As a big brother, of course I have to fight harder to support our small family,”

“Kak Aldy..”

“I was forced to work as a wood finder and sell it to a nearby village. There's no other way than that to survive. Because of our condition like this, at first I had almost given up on seeking knowledge. But Tia, my sister kept encouraging me. He was really excited to learn. And finally, we decided to move to the eastern region of the archipelago,” continued the man.

“Hmm.. So your decision to move to Jailolo was..” Dwi was about to say, but Aldy cut it.

“Iya. To study, to seek knowledge, and to encourage the girl,”

They both listened silently to her story. It turns out that Aldy Heraldy, a senior student of Jailolo National Magic Academy, has a disadvantaged background. But he managed to prove that he was able to rise up to this size. Anna was amazed at her struggle.

“Sister Aldy, you're really great. With your struggles like this, you've managed to prove your worth to everyone. Very cool. Pearl must be proud to have a sister like you,” praise Anna.

Aldy can't say much about hearing that. He could only smile thinly while remembering his past. The small praise spoken by Anna warmed his heart, turning it into a pride.

“Thank you,”

The Siak region they had passed, and now the three entered the Deli Region. Just one more territory before they reached Lhokseumawe, Pasai Region, and met the Second Elder.
