The 5 Elemental Lord
You want to die when
The next day, Zeno and Turse, both of them had already woken up and had risen from their slumber. They were a little exhausted because last night, taking care of the five corpses and removing the traces of the fight was not a very easy thing. Moreover, Zeno and Turse also had to investigate around the inn, were there any eyewitnesses or not?
The thing is, Zeno knew if any eyewitnesses saw him, then his dealings would be with the general of Lumenius Empire. Because what Zeno heard, the leader of the group last night was the son of the imperial general.
Fortunately, after a few minutes of Zeno investigating, he did not find any witnesses. So, they are both quite sure, that the murder they did was quite safe.
"You don't want to go downstairs for breakfast? See something outside the room." Zeno asked Turse, this morning he simply rang indicating that he was really hungry. In addition, he was also curious about the corpse he had taken care of last night.
Turse simply nodded without giving a word. He was also curious about the group that was bothering him last night. Has the body been taken care of or not? The problem was, Zeno placed the pile of corpses in front of someone else's inn room. So, the corpse will certainly be very striking and can be seen clearly by people passing by.
Finally they both opened the door of the inn room to get out. However, just like what Zeno thought, that the conditions outside the room were really crowded.
Zeno had guessed, surely the crowd was caused by the corpse he killed. But he and Turse deliberately put on shocked faces, as if they knew nothing either.
Zeno eventually chose to leave rather than have to deal with the corpses. After all, he was also more interested in filling his stomach.
"Stop right there!"
However, just as Zeno and Turse were about to leave, one called out to him suspiciously. This made the people around him also look at Zeno and Turse.
Without a sense of panic, Zeno stopped and turned around, he did not show such a frightened expression as if what he was doing was about to unfold. Likewise with Turse, he seemed to be acting ignorant about events like this.
"Aren't you the one from the continent of the Five Countries yesterday? Also inhabit a room on this floor?" The person raised his eyebrows and walked over to Zeno.
"Of course, what's up, sir?" Ask Zeno.
"The general's son's body laughed unnaturally in front of the other room. However, it was foolish for the eater to place the corpse he killed on his doorstep. Moreover, some of the other sneakers also had no suspicions, as they had been here for a long time. While the body was there after you were here." The person explained with a serious look at Zeno.
Hearing this, Zeno frowned and replied, "I'm sorry. But don't you yourself know that I come from the continent of the Five countries that you said the continent is filled with weak elementalists? So there's no way the general's son you're talking about died in my hands."
"It makes sense too. But, what if the perpetrator is really you?" The person pressed his head forward as if he wanted to scare Zeno and admit to his actions.
Zeno was not afraid though, he pushed the man boldly. "You guys are really weird. Maybe people like you should have the principle that acts of kindness must be completed by people like you, and if it's a bad act, you'll throw it at someone who's not from you. It's weird when you accuse me of killing someone. Maybe if I told you that I was doing like a hero and saving someone, you wouldn't believe me." Zeno's face was so sour, he was still so exasperated by what the people from this continent were doing.
People finally believed what Zeno said. The problem is, the general's son is not weak, so to be killed by someone weaker than the general's son is very impossible. In fact, many people argue that someone like Zeno can actually be finished off by the general's son so easily.
Zeno and Turse actually went from the crowd and got off the floor to enjoy breakfast. In addition, he also needed information, where the Nuvoleon empire was located. The thing was, they had to actually go and search for that golden lotus quickly.
Zeno and Turse sat down at one table after they ordered a few servings of food. However, the calm suddenly appeared after a teenager of Zeno's age approached him.
"Can I sit next to you?" Ask the person kindly.
Turse was actually really distracted, but he was waiting for Zeno's reaction whether he allowed it or not?
"Please." Zeno replied kindly.
Turse sighed in disappointment, but no matter what, he would have to agree with what Zeno decided.
"You two are really great, killing the general's son easily. And what I saw last night, you didn't use the light element to match it." The teenager said softly, so that no one heard him but Zeno.
Zeno's mouth immediately shrieked downward, he didn't expect that there was someone who knew what he was doing last night. Of course, Zeno did not stay silent and touched the person's nape.
Likewise with Turse, she who heard what the teenager beside her said, she frowned and looked so cynically. In addition, he created an arrow whose tip was attached to the teenager's stomach.
"You want to die when and under what circumstances? We're at your service." Zeno said softly, so that no one saw him.
The teenager only smiled and closed his eyes as if he was not afraid of Zeno's words. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "Let go of me. If you kill me right now, you'll be more suspect as the general's son-in-law. Besides, if in two minutes you don't take your hand off my nape, I'm gonna yell that you're a killer."
"Hey, you know what? I have a poison that can kill you slowly. So we don't have to worry as we're going to let go this time." Said Turse who was increasingly pushing the arrows he was holding.
"Slowly? So it has a pause, so I can report you guys easily."
"You're really sneaky." Zeno did not panic, instead he smiled widely before continuing his words. "What do I need to do so you can keep your mouth shut?"
"Just be calm, I won't report to the empire, if you two are prepared to forge a deal or agreement with me." The man replied so softly.
Hearing this, Zeno and Turse raised their eyebrows. They were quite doubtful as to what the teenagers who were between the two of them would say. But for the sake of Zeno and Turse's safety, they end up nodding at each other.
"Say, what kind of deal is that?"
