Arriving at his own house, Gorb ran towards the room in a panic. He saw some female healers sitting beside his wife and trying to make some potions for the general's wife.
“Tabib, what's up?” Gorb asked non-relaxedly.
“As the general saw, the disease became very severe. In fact, the last few months the disease has subsided. However, after he heard the news that you have heard, yes so ...” The Physician did not continue his words, because he knew that if he spoke wrongly, the general would play a hand.
Because it is common knowledge about the nature of General Gorb who is notoriously loud and likes to play hands. In fact, not a few people whose bones were fractured due to incorrectly talking to Gorb. That was why Gorb was the most ruthless general in the empire.
However, the emperor was very fond of Gorb, the cruelty of which made the emperor convinced that Gorb was a real general.
“What is no other way to make him aware.” Ask Gorb in a high tone.
“There is no other way, this disease can only heal by itself without any cure. However, if it is too severe, then the worst possibility ..” One of the healers sighed before continuing his words, because he was really scared when he spoke wrongly, “Well worst possible, your wife's life will not be saved.” Answer with doubt.
Gorb gritted his teeth, he walked up to the healer who had just spoken. Gorb's feelings also could not calm down, so he was emotional to hear that.
“Wait, no general.” Another healer.
“Six days away, the golden lotus flower that only blooms once in five years will appear on the top of Apiluc mountain. It is said that the lotus flower is an antidote to all kinds of diseases or poisons.” With a quiver, he sighed as he had managed to save another healer leaves Gorb's abomination.
As soon as Gorb stopped his steps, he calmed down enough after the other healers spoke. But, enough serenity did not make Gorb lose his dreadful look.
“Golden Lotus at the top of Apiluc mountain blooms in five more days?” Ask Gorb in a high tone, “I hope you don't lie about what you said.”
“No, I'm not lying.” The physician who had just said that his body trembled violently.
“The company grew up in the Nuvoleon empire. Of course the empire would not remain silent. I'll beg the emperor to help me.” Gorb muttered as he exited his wife's room in a hurry.
As a general who is considered like the emperor's favorite child. Of course Gorb was convinced that his request would be fulfilled, which he asked to lead an army. And the army he used to snatch the lotus flower from the hands of Nuvoleon.
It did not matter whether it would trigger a great war between two emperors. But Gorb doesn't care. What he cared about was the safety of his wife which was far more important.

“We will arrive when?” Ask Zeno to Hole.
Currently the three of them were in a state of sitting on the horse carriage that some time ago Zeno ordered.
“Becok morning, however the whole empire on this continent is vast.” Evidently.
“And you want to walk? Are you crazy?” Zeno raised his eyebrows.
“Not a problem for me. For you guys, it's not a problem, is it?” Answer Hole with a small smile.
Zeno only shook his head, it was not a problem to walk to another empire. Even he had once done such, in the continent of the Five countries. And it's really tiring, after all if there's a horse-drawn carriage why walk?
Suddenly, the horse carriage they were occupying stopped. Zeno became confused as to what had happened. Shortly after wanting to be sure, Zeno heard a scream that seemed to be right where the coachman was.
“Master what happened?” Turse asked curiously, he also got out of the horse carriage to find out what happened.
“We're under attack!” Shouted Zeno.
“Master in back!” Shouted Turse anyway.
Zeno turned around after hearing Turse's scream. He saw a person in assassin clothes was slashing a sword with light on his sword.
Feeling in danger, Zeno moved as fast as lightning to avoid it. In addition, Turse also took out an arrow and shot at someone who was about to attack Zeno.
Unfortunately, the arrow was broken by the sword that the Assassin had. Thus, Turse had not managed to poison him at all.
Hole that was still inside the carriage, he immediately jumped up and attacked the Assassin. Simultaneously, the Assassin extended his hand and aimed towards the Hole like he wanted to attack something.
“Explosion light!”
“Hole fool!” With a flash motion, Zeno instantly carried away the Hole before a burst of light appeared and destroyed Hole's body. Hole was indeed saved, but the explosion managed to make the horse carriage they were riding destroyed. It was fortunate that Turse had managed to avoid it fast in time.
Suddenly, several Assassins appeared and surrounded the three of them. Thus, the three of them turned their backs and prepared to attack the Assassins.
“I will release you, as long as you give up all the treasures you have.” Said one of them.
“So you guys are a bandit?” Zeno spat before continuing his words, “If you can, just try.”
“It seems they are a criminal group. Fifteen and five years ago, they were the ones who managed to snatch the golden lotus from Nuvoleon.” Hole explained.
“Is that?” Zeno raised his eyebrows, then he bathed something, “It seems, there will be some parties. And this is very troublesome.”
“Glow motion!”
In one blink of an eye, one of the Assassins was already in front of Zeno while shaking off the Ice Sword. Zeno realized that the movement of light was indeed very fast, not even particles managed to exceed the speed of light.
Fortunately, Zeno had the element of lightning, which was about the same speed as the speed of light. Because literally, lightning also contains a flash that is light. However, its destructive power was more terrifying than lightning.
It can be said, the light element is more terrible than the lightning and fire elements when combined. No wonder why the light element is called the strongest element.
Zeno repelled the sword attack of the person who had attacked him quickly.
However, the other Assassins also darted quickly to attack Turse as well as Hole.
Zeno gritted his teeth, it seemed like he had no chance to protect Turse as well as Hole.
But, suddenly he was like being inside a dome of light that was very blinding to the eyes. In fact, Zeno had to cover his eyes using one of his arms, because the other arm he used to hold the sword holding the Assassin's sword before him earlier.
“Explosion light dome!”
