Chapter 246: chapter 246- Arriving In The City

"..."

"..."

"... Heh~ As expected from the goddess of forgiveness, You forgive people so easily, my one question is, who sent them here? It is your brother, Apollo?"

Taufik asked, and Hebe, who heard this, was silent for a moment before sighing.

"... Yes, it's indeed him, you know, he can be a little naughty sometimes"

"..."

"... Is there any more questions you wanted to ask?"

"No, it's all, alright, I'll forgive them this time, you can take them now"

Said Taufik who then sheathed his katana again.

"You better go right now, before I change my mind" He continued.

"I'll take that offer, Thank you, O~ You Who Defy Fate"

Said Hebe, who then healed her children's wounds. When Alexiares and Anicetus' wounds healed, they immediately stood up and looked at Taufik with hostile gazes, but when their mother, Hebe looked at them, they both immediately turned their gazes away from Taufik.

"... What? Do you guys wanna go again? Come!"

Said Taufik while grinning at Alexiares and Anicetus.

"... Y- YOU!"

"What?"

"...

*Tsk!*

"

Facing Taufik's provocation, Anicetus could only click his tongue while turning his face away.

"... Then, we will take our leave, Thank you for your understanding, o~ you who defy fate"

"..."

Taufik didn't answer anything, just watched Hebe, Alexiares, and Anicetus walk towards the rift.

However, before Hebe could enter the Rift, she turned around to look at Taufik.

"... A little warning for you, oh you who defy fate, Be careful, almost all twelve major gods of Olympus hold enmity towards you, and plan to erase your existence, you better prepare yourself for the worst"

"... I already know that, and is it okay for you to tell me that?"

"It's okay because it is me, after all, I'm just a mere servant of the Gods. That's all I want to say, the rest is up to you how you deal with it, and then I'll take my leave"

Said Hebe, who, without further ado, immediately stepped into the crack with her two children.

After Hebe, Alexiares, and Anicetus were no longer visible and the crack closed again, Taufik closed his eyes and sighed.

"

*Sigh*

It looks like this trip won't be as smooth as I thought"

Said Taufik who then called Lembuswana and Aksara to come closer to him.

"...

*Sigh*

As I thought, there be always a problem when I was with you"

"It's not my fault if a problem keeps coming to me, I can't do anything about that"

"No matter how you look at it, it's your fault"

"... Whatever, Aksa, come here"

Said Taufik who then took Aksara into his arms.

After that, the three of them returned to go to their destination.

------------

When they arrived at the outskirts of the city, Taufik immediately landed not far from the city gate.

Their actions certainly attracted the attention of people around the gate, after all, it wasn't every day they could see people flying.

Even though magic has become commonplace in this era, the magic that Taufik performs is still an anomaly.

But Taufik didn't care about that and continued walking towards the gate.

Even though it wasn't because of Taufik's magic, Taufik himself was enough to attract a lot of attention, and just by the clothes he was wearing, people already knew that Taufik was a nobleman, and just by his looks, people's attention was still directed at Taufik, especially young girls, women and even old people, there were even some men who also blushed when they saw Taufik.

From what was seen, many people were based in front of the gate queuing to enter the city, but when they saw Taufik, they all made way for him, as if they couldn't stand having to stand with Taufik behind them.

Taufik happily passed through the path that was opened for him.

"... E- Excuse me, Sir, Please state your identity and what is your purpose for entering the city?"

Asked one of the gatekeepers who felt nervous about Taufik's presence.

"... Should I?"

"Y- Yes, Sir, it's the procedure, Everyone has to do it if they want to enter the city"

"Even me?"

Taufik asked while spreading his hands as if to show who he was.

"... Y- Yes, Sir"

"

*Sigh*

My identity is a bit sensitive to mention. Can't I just pass without revealing my identity?"

Hearing this, the guard showed a troubled face, before he said.

"... Wait, sir, I'll go ask my superior"

"Thank you, I'll wait"

After that, the Guard entered the gate, to go meet his superior, then the fellow guard took over because there were still many people who wanted to enter the city.

"... Papa~ why are these people looking at us like that?"

Aksara asked while looking at the line of people who wanted to enter the city who were looking at them.

"Get used to it, Aksa, Because with our appearance, attracting attention is unavoidable"

"... I understand, Papa"

After that, as Taufik had said, Aksara thought about the way people looked at them; after a while, finally, the guard came back, but with someone following him.

"... Sir, this person here is my superior, Sir Ignus"

Said the guard who introduced the superior to Taufik, and Taufik greeted him with a nod.

"... I have heard about your situation from my subordinates; for now, please follow me; there are too many eyes here," Said Sir Ignus.

"... Alright, please lead the way"

After that, Sir Agnus specifically led Taufik and the others into the city.

------------

Sir Angus led Taufik to a room in which there was a simple table and chairs made of wood, but on the table, there was a kind of crystal ball.

"Sir, this is a magic crystal that can detect lies and bad intentions, I will ask you some questions, please place your hand on this crystal"

Said Sir Ignus, and without saying anything, Taufik immediately placed his hand on the crystal.

"Before that, I have to make you promise that you will not do any tricks to manipulate the results displayed by this crystal, do you promise?"

Sir Ignus asked with his eyes fixed on the crystal ball.

"I promise"

Taufik answered, and Sir Ignus saw that the crystal did not show any reaction, seeing this, Sir Ignus then looked at Taufik.

"Alright, then, I will start with a simple question"

"Please"

"Is the child you are holding yours?"

"Yes"

Said Taufik, and the crystal showed no reaction, seeing this, Sir Ignus nodded his head.

"What about that thing on your shoulder?"

"... My pet"

Taufik replied and once again, the crystal showed no reaction.

"...So far nothing is wrong, so the next question is, are you really a noble?"

"Am I"

"... From another kingdom?"

"Yes"

"... Is there any special reason why you can't tell me your name?"

"Yes"

"Do you have bad intentions towards this city and kingdom?"

"No"

Taufik replied to Sir Ignus's questions one by one, and the crystal showed no reaction at all; seeing this, Sir Ignus' face looked a little calmer.

"... Okay, last question, what is your purpose in entering this city?"

"I want to meet someone in this city"

"Hm~ Has the person ever been involved in any crime or anything like that?"

"I don't think so, even from what I've heard the man has helped the City through the crisis"

Hearing this, Sir Ignus looked at the Crystal, and it showed no reaction.

"... Can you name the person?"

"I'm sorry, but that's also personal information, so I can't reveal it"

"I see, Do you have any other goals besides the previous one?"

"I did...

Said Taufik who then looked towards Aksara.

... I want to take my child to see the outside world, and broaden his view of the world"

Taufik replied, and like before, the Crystal did not show any reaction, seeing this, Sir Ignus closed his eyes and then let out a sigh of relief before saying.

"Alright sir, so far, I haven't found anything wrong with you, the Q&A session is over, you can take your hands off the crystal now"

"So~ Does that mean we can enter the city now?"

"Yes sir, come, I will show you the way"

Said Sir Ignus, and then he led Taufik out of the room.

When they arrived outside, Sir Ignus was given something by his subordinates.

"Sir, this is your ID card. Since you are not a citizen of this city, you must report every five days if you wish to continue your stay in this city. If you wish to leave this city, simply give this ID card to the gatekeeper on duty. I remind you that even if your test shows nothing wrong, you must still obey the rules of this city" Said Sir Ignus while giving the ID card to Taufik.

Taufik took the ID card and looked at it for a moment before looking back at Sir Ignus.

"Thank you, Sir Ignus, if it's not too much trouble, may I ask you something?"

"Sure, Just ask your question, sir"

Sir Ignus said, and Taufik started asking his own questions.
