The 5 Elemental Lord
Threats (3)
Zeno released them carefully. At the very least, Zeno must have noticed that they have suspicious movements which makes Zeno have to attack him or not? The problem, even though it had been poisoned, did not rule out the possibility that they would attack Zeno and force Turse to remove the antidote once again.
Fortunately, it was far from what he was thinking, the two people still shuddered in fear with glares as they looked exhausted. Such a bad day for them, feeling the cruelty of someone made them want to repeat the time and not want to be part of lord ten. How else, everything is too late, what they do must also be accounted for.
Their legs were suddenly also paralyzed and not strong enough to stand when they saw Zeno's cold, scary-looking gaze. Seen a gaze with an assassin who was so bloodthirsty. The proof, they see, that Zeno actually smiled when killing his partner.
“Before, I want to know your name.” Zeno crouched down and said before their eyes.
“Marrut. Haha yes my name is Marut.” Said one of the people with deep wounds on his chest.
Zeno immediately recalled, Marut, of course, a name that is quite easy to remember and also physical characteristics as well. Half-black even in the dark Zeno could still see it, as well as a small mole over the lips that made the person so easily recognizable.
His gaze was changed by looking at someone who was beside him, maybe this person looks not too flashy with the same physical as humans in general. Perhaps only armed with the shape of a face, Zeno could remember it so well. And of course the name, a few seconds had passed and Zeno was still waiting for the person to say what his name was.
“Hans. You can call me Hans.” Replied the person with a trembling body as it looked at Zeno's eyes.
Zeno smiled happily, at least he no longer needed to drain his energy to find out what their names were. Because Zeno also knew exactly, that criminal groups from any region, they would not tell their names. It would make it harder for the empire to search for those who had become fugitives.
He also stood up from his squat, turned around and put on a cross-sectional posture by glancing at them slightly. “You remember what I ordered?” Zeno asked that.
Hans and Marut, both of them nodded in fear while wiping their sweat off. Blood as well as sweat, the two fluids also soaked their clothes that they looked disgusting to either Zeno or Turse.
“Good.” He then walked away leaving the two of them, followed by Turse who also left while glancing at them a little.
On the sidelines, Turse said in a slightly high tone so that they would all listen so well, “Don't think that when you report to lord ten, then lord ten will heal you. Because of the poison I made myself, then the cure was only on me. Maybe you can recover, but don't dream of getting a golden lotus flower.”
Turse's voice grew louder which indicated that he had gone away from Hans and Marut. The two of them actually heaved a sigh of relief from being given a chance at life that was very different from the eight of his colleagues. What they need to do is go and obey what Zeno said, because they also want to get the antidote to be able to live more.
“It's been a cold day which indicates it's really late. No, rather it's been the last third of the night or it's been in the early hours. In less than two days the flower blooms, both sides have also issued their actions to secure this mountain. And I also did not forget, less than twenty more days before the poison peaked. Absolutely not expecting, that it will be as difficult as this.” Zeno said softly, his face so showing that he was so impatient to get the golden lotus flower.
Even so, Turse glanced at Zeno and heard what Zeno was muttering. It looks so sad for a boy like Zeno to know that his mother is in a critical state. Turse didn't know, had it been since they were here that Zeno could ease his grief? At least Turse still knows a little what it's like to see a mother who is as sick as Zeno's mother.
“Master, what will we do?” Ask Turse.
“I'll make plans so earnestly. After all, Hole's plan has gone awry, I don't know where she is either.” Zeno paused for a moment followed by Turse who was curious about Turse's plans.
“Kiba, make sure no one is around.” Zeno's orders.
“Faith. No one around from such a close distance that they could hear the plans of mr.” Replied Kiba who was inside Zeno's body while trying to smell the human smell around.
“Good.” Zeno nodded while thinking about the plan himself.
“Most likely, the battle will be fought on the northern path of Mount Apiluc, with the lord of the ten already separating the forces of Nuvoleon. Then, lord ten will become calmer, I mean he will be off guard knowing that we are dead, so that he will become more focused on facing off against the side of Nuvoleon. That way, we just let the fight between them.”
“And of course we will attack the winning side, of course when they have won, then they will feel no other threat or really very off guard. So easy to finish them off.” Zeno explained his plan, “It is also possible that Hole will return, but I will try to keep him from getting the flowers.”
“The battle will also occur for one full day, so it will be the rest of one day before the flower blooms. And the second fight will happen that is without an army, like the emperor Nuvoleon will send one of the strongest men to intervene, or the lord of ten who will intervene if the party will lose.” Zeno set his breath before continuing his words, “Even when the flowers have been picked, which surely there will be some parties who have not confessed to losing.”
Zeno took a breath before continuing his words, “According to you, which side will win?” Zeno asked Turse.
“In my opinion, the one who will win the battle is a criminal group. Although they had separated some of the troops belonging to Nuvoleon, but no leader could strengthen an army.” Turse replied while touching his chin.
Hearing this, Zeno did something that Turse had not expected. Which one, Zeno stroked Turse's head while saying softly, “Has this friend of mine sided with the enemy? Of course the one who will win is the other party which is me.” Then he took off Turse's hair caress while leaving.
