Chapter 101 - Xelin

After the tremendous explosion transpired in the working station, it was followed up by the keen sound that scattered all over the place.

With its force and sound, it was enough to penetrate the thick wall. Aside from that, the soil splashes above them and it shook the whole place in just the blink of an eye.

Behind the wall, the craftsmen have widened their eyes but not because they were scared in that explosion, it was because they were amazed at how strong that invention was made by this outsider.

What the--

What was that?!

Don't tell me that's the item we are working on?

These were the only words they could say out of their mouth. At the same time, they were looking at the man who had a broad smile on his face.

"Remained in your position! Its force and sharpness are enough to kill you, worst-case scenario puncture to your skull." He warned them at once as he was certain with it.

Furthermore, the explosion they made caught the attention of all the villagers in the Arzotoc village. Why? Just because the explosion created massive aftershocks which made them stumble their footings and drop sort things to the ground.

Guards and even Arisu immediately headed to the working station just to figure out the origin of the explosion.

"I knew it! That kind of power comes from Riku's invention!" Arisu stood up out of her luxurious chair, after that, she turned her gaze at the guards. "Quick! Get the horses we are going to Riku's place."

The seven guards left at once. While her father was looking at her with his clueless eyes. "What's going on, Arisu? The Rattin Kindom is already attacking our beloved village?" He asked her in a weak tone.

He pushed himself into a seated up position, trying to use all of his strength just to continue his job in this village which was to protect the villager since he was the King.

However, Arisu gently assisted him back to his bed while explaining what was exactly going on in their village. "Calm down, father. Riku has said that you should stay in your bed. Also, that i is not coming from the Rattin Kindom, it came from Riku's invention." She said politely, at the same time, she was happy that she didn't make the wrong decision to trust this man.

"Is that so?" His eyes were softened, yet he was persistent to see that success. "Still, I want to see what's going on in my village."

She gently stroked the white hair of his father, calming him down since Riku warned her King Luke should not exhaust himself. "Please, father, don't be stubborn. You stay in your room regaining your strength once you're good I promise that I'm not going to stop whenever you want to go." 

At this point, he couldn't do anything as he didn't want to refuse the request of his lovely daughter. "Okay, I'll stay here. But keep your promise."

She cheerfully nodded her head, then hugged him tightly. "Of course, father, I never broke my premises." She was rubbing her face on his father's chest but someone interrupted when the guards came back and knocked on the door.

"Lady Arisu, the horses are waiting for you at the entrance." That was the deep polite voice of the guard.

"I'm coming, just wait for me there." She responded with a mild voice and took a glance at his father. "I have to go, eat your food, and listen to what they tell you, okay?"

His father agreed, "Yeah, yeah, go ahead and update me once you come back." He replied, then waited for Arisu to exit the door before adding these words. "You're like your mother."

On the other hand, the explosion in the explosion was passed off just the thick golden dust that was flying through the air. When they noticed it, the craftsmen walked towards the area where they could see the man who had a white blanket that wrapped throughout his body.

The downside here was, some of the equipment they were using was destroyed. But Riku's cares? They can get a replacement and continued their job here.

"Sir Riku, this is your invention?" Alberto said slowly, even though he witnessed with his own eyes, still, he was having a hard time believing in it.

Why they were acting like this? It was because they thought the only thing that could do a tremendous explosion was the people who had possessed high magical power. In their minds, how the natural resources could do a such thing? Where it can surpass all the things that magic can do. Remember, this broken world was undeveloped by swords, magic, and monster.

He was looking at Albero with his eyes lively eyes, although it was too obvious he shook his head at him. "No, this is our invention since I'm not going to achieve this result without your help."

Five of them were shocked by his response, never thinking Riku would give them big credit for this wonderful invention.

Thank you, Sir Riku!

Your words it's like a lovely song that entering my ears!

Let us help you until the end! All of us wanted to know more about your invention since we are that is not only the invention inside your head right now!

The craftsmen were going too excited their head intervened to their celebration, knowing that each time was valuable. "Get back to work! Kill the fire that scattered all over the place and replace our equipment!" He took a glance at Alberto and added. "Alberto calls the other craftsmen that would help us, this is not the type of job that the five of us could do it instantly." He ordered in a serious tone.

Well, Riku was impressed how Conrad understood the situation even without informing him. "That's good, Conrad. I'm glad that you call the others, and I know they can easily learn about it since all the craftsmen here are very skilled workers." He responded nonchalantly while looking at the deep hole created by the landmine.

"I'm happy that you are appreciated our work here. Also, I'm the head of the Craftsmen so I must the one who ordered them around, at the same time, by looking at them, I can say that they are happy working with you, believing they would learn new something coming from you." He explained, then mildly bowed his head to show his respect. "I gotta go, Sir Riku. There's a lot of jobs we have to finish, and I know you are a very busy person each second to you is valuable."

After he spits these words, Conrad left the area while the man in his behind seemed to have an idea as heard that statement.

While walking back to the place where the other gunpowders were located, he was started to murmur. "Learn something from me? What does mean? Do they believe I can make new inventions by just using the gunpowder-?"

He paused for a second as the image gun went to his mind. With this weapon, they can increase the firepower in mid-range combat, at the same time, since the people here weren't aware of the gun so no one could predict what would happen to them when they were hit by the bullet.

But the problem here was, the Rattin Kindom would approach their village in no time. Yes, he can make guns with his current materials, however, that wasn't enough to occupy all the guards in the Arzotoc village. Aside from that, the gun can't learn in just one day as they needed to train how they were going to aim and control their arms with its given strong impact. 

Still, he had a broad smile on his face. "Well, I'm going to make one of it or two just for the protection and it would have a big benefit when I have an expedition." He murmured to himself, then entered the room, continuing to create the gun powder.

On the other part of the world, where the strong monsters and mystical occurrence happened. There were a thousand people wearing green robes was passing in the green forest.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Above them, a man with red spiky hair had an eye patch on his left eye, and an x mark scar on his left face was swiftly going down out of the tree. After he checked how far the Arzotoc village was from their current location.

He landed on the place where was the blond man wearing a white cape that had the logo R with the sword. First, he knelt on the curvy surface to show his respect. "Sir Xelin, I can't still see the Arzotoc village from afar. I think we have to travel 4 or 5 days before we reached that area."

Xelin that had aggressive red eyes looked at him with a serious expression.. "That's fine, Vole, we are not in hurry. The result is the same, all of them are going to die hahaha!"
