The 5 Elemental Lord
Hole back
“Zen wake! It's morning.”
Zeno raised his eyes slowly as he fell asleep leaning against a tree, and beside him was Turse whose head was on Zeno's own shoulders. Indeed, after they had managed to kill Hans and Marut, they decided to take a break, at least sleep to replenish their strength. After all, it had been almost two days that he had not fallen asleep.
“Hole?” He wasn't too shocked at the moment that woke him up was Hole. Even so, he did not know, since when did Hole come? And why did he find himself? That was what made Zeno astonished. Moreover, he did not expect that Hole would come after he talked about it last night.
It was also morning, marking the turn of the day to the next time. Zeno recalled, that the golden lotus flower will bloom at the turn of the day tonight. Of course he was so impatient when he got the flowers to give to his mother. And ... yes, inevitably he had to lie to an insignificant person in his life who had now suddenly appeared to wake him up.
“Well right, I think you've run in the deal. But who would have thought that you were here. I'm so grateful to you.” Hole lowered his head, before he had bad time to think that Zeno would run, but who would have thought that Zeno was still on this mountain.
“Haha yes, I will not run away from the deal. It's for your mom anyway, right? I know how sad a child is when the mother is sick.” Zeno spoke while trying to stand up, but he first woke up Turse who was leaning on his shoulder.
Turse finally woke up, yet he was a little surprised when Hole was before him. Though he hoped that Hole was dead at that time because Atsuba who dropped it. But who would have thought, that Hole looked still healthy which made Turse a little bit of a bad look at him.
Besides, he was also as heralded as Zeno. How could he find her? Though this mountain looks so broad, which is missing from the group will be very difficult to return.
“Kiba, do you know the coming of Hole?” Zeno asked Kiba, and no one heard him.
Kiba replied, “I knew last night, but I didn't wake you up because Hole isn't something to look out for.”
“You're right too.”
It is natural that Kiba knows who comes to his master, because the instinct of a wild beast like Kiba is very large, even with sleep though, his sense of smell still works so well.
“By the way, where have you been?” Turse pretended to be concerned for Hole as some days were not with themselves. In fact, Turse really hated him.
“You are how, of course looking for you for two days.”
In two days, of course it was really quick to search for Zeno and Turse on this Apiluc mountain. Moreover, Zeno did not know that Hole did something that went to Ampera. If Zeno knew, he might have been even more surprised, because it was really very fast. However, Zeno and Turse chose not to ask more, what he did was believe that Hole might very well have found itself.
They finally left to go to the top. To see, what happened to the war last night, who won the fight between the three sides? What is certain is that Zeno is very sure that the winner is lord ten, although he does not know whether the army of lord ten is still intact or not?
“So all this time you've only been an observer?” Ask Hole curiously.
“Of course.” Zeno lied, “After all I must have trouble fighting three parties at once.”
“Three parties?” Hole was surprised, he did not expect that there would be another party meddling in the fight of both sides to obtain the golden lotus flower. Unlike what he had expected, this year there would be some parties who would seize the lotus flower, even the empire of Nuvoleon also seemed so serious in seizing the lotus flower. Butwhy? Will this be a sign, or will it be the last flower that will grow to make Nuvoleon look serious? That's what makes Hole dizzy.
However, he did not care much, he felt very lucky to have Zen and also Turse who they thought were strong. How not, General Gorb's only son they killed without any fear from their hearts. However, Hole did not seem to know exactly what the veiled intent of Zeno was, and vice versa.
“Yeah, if not mistaken, the new party is a soldier wearing Lumenlus Empire.” clothes Zeno touched his forehead, trying to compare whether the soldier's clothes were the same as the Lumenlus warrior's clothes he had seen when he arrived there. And of course it was the same, which made Zeno convinced that the new party was the Lumenlus Empire's side.
The thing that made him think, indeed why did the Lumenlus party also want to seize the golden lotus flower? Wouldn't that be the same as would make Nuvoleon will not stay silent, especially this time Nuvoleon really seriously want to get the flower. Zeno really could not guess the mindset of that empire. Because they should have realized that the emperor was the second strongest emperor after Danze.
As well as Hole, he wondered, why would the Lumenlus party want to snatch the lotus flower anyway? Moreover, this was an inappropriate time, because Hole knew that the king's favorite general's son had died, of course involving the grieving general Gorb was impossible.
“Lantas, what's your next plan?” Hole asked again.
“I?” Zeno pointed to himself with a smile, “You should make the next plan, because you are the one who is determined to get the flower.”
Hearing that, Turse was a little annoyed with Zeno. It should be the master who makes the plan without handing it over to others. But how else, Turse just kept quiet with a slightly disappointed heart.
Zeno actually knew about it, Turse would be disappointed if he submitted the next plan to Turse. However, Zeno had a veiled intention in which he wanted to know what Hole was planning, and made Hole unsuspecting if Zeno also hunted the golden lotus.
Suddenly, Zeno paused for a moment after some distance they had walked, crouching down to touch the weaving that contained the tracks of a beast, like the legs of a wolf. However, the trail stopped just below Zeno's feet as if the animal disappeared and gave no more traces.
“Zeno, what are you doing? Come!” Exciting Hole.
Zeno nodded, he immediately stood up and walked back and also heard what Hole was doing next.
