"this…"
Cassio stared at the token in his hand for a while, before finally looking at Theo.
"Young man, follow me!"
***
(Underground floor, Nameless Market)
Cassio takes Theo and Arthur into Nameless Market. Nameless Market itself, although it looks just like a small Bar on the outside, it turns out to have a lot of secret underground space.
Unlike the Gaia Inn which is built majestically towered up, Nameless Market is built through the ground, the bottom of this building is spacious.
After passing through a narrow winding hallway, where only a candlelight or a medium-sized torch became the source of illumination, Theo's group finally came to the front of a door that seemed to be the end of this long hallway.
"You two, wait here for a second!" Cassio said, and without waiting for an answer from Theo or Arthur, he stepped into the room leaving both of them.
"Boss, this place is too gloomy! It makes me very uncomfortable!" Arthur said breaking the silence, after a while of waiting in silence.
"For the size of a person who has the attribute of darkness, you are too timid of a dark and narrow place!" Answer Theo.
"What does this have to do with my dark attribute?" Answer Arthur.
"Of course there is! People with dark attributes should love a place like this!" Answer Theo.
"Hmmm.. boss, I also have the fire attribute! A crowded place with festive conditions is more fun!"
"Broken Dual Element Seed is weird!" Dengus.
As Arthur was about to respond again, the door before him suddenly opened. However, coming out from behind the door was not Cassio, but a gloomy-looking old man, he was wearing a shabby, pale-faced black shirt with the glare of my eyes.
"Guests, please come in!" Said the man.
Theo who is actually also uncomfortable with the conditions of the surrounding environment, which has a lot of strange suspicious hallways, so that he can not find his own way out just in case something unexpected happens, it quickly followed the instructions of this old man to enter the room in front of him. He wanted to settle matters in this place as soon as possible.
"Welcome!"
As soon as Theo entered the room, a hoarse voice immediately greeted him. The room behind this simple door itself turned out to have a very large size, although the atmosphere still seemed gloomy like the other rooms around the hallway that had passed Theo, but the room was still very spacious, but at least this place has a rather sufficient illumination.
A simple torch line was attached to each pillar that supported the room. Under each pillar that numbered in the tens, also stood the figures of old men who looked almost the same as the old man who had invited Theo in.
While the hoarse voice that greeted Theo when entering the room, came from an old woman who was currently standing on a podium right in the middle of the room.
Next to the old woman, Theo could see the figure of Santiago, the young man he had previously seen when he was at the exit of the Merak hills. He was currently seen sitting on a throne flanked by the old lady and Cassio.
"Include yourself! And explain why our Lord token can be in your hands!" Said the old woman again, when Theo was right not far in front of him.
"My name is Theodoric Alknight, of the House of Alknight! And next to me is Arthur Wild, of the House of Wildbear."
"The token was given to me by senior Alejandro himself! A moment before he breathed his last breath!"
Theo, who immediately wanted to finish his business, unceremoniously began to introduce himself and answer questions.
Meanwhile, along with the completion of Theo answering the question, the atmosphere of the room that was previously silent and gloomy, immediately became noisier.
"Babies…! What do you mean by words? Explain it correctly!" Shouted one of the old men at the very front pillar.
"Well…! Don't talk so recklessly! There's no way Lord Alejandro has been…"
"Boss…!"
Seeing that, Arthur now looked anxious. After all these people were high-class Knights, if they really attacked, then there was no way out for the two other than death.
Theo himself currently still seemed calm, from the reaction of the surrounding people, he could surmise that everyone here was part of the faction most loyal to Alejandro.
Alejandro's words that said Cassio would arrange the rest after Theo gave the token turned out to be no figment.
Therefore, under the pressure of the aura and the stern gaze of everyone in the room, Theo without any doubt began to step forward, intending to explain what was really happening.
"If you're not mistaken, you're Santiago, the son of senior Alejandro?" Theo said, greeting Santiago.
Hearing him, Santiago did not reply, only giving a brief nod. Seeing that, Theo only replied with a simple smile, seeming not to mind Santiago's attitude.
"I met your father by accident when he got lost in the hills of Merak. At that time, he was being surrounded by dozens of high-class Knights led by a man named Beladro!" Theo said, starting to explain.
Hearing the name Beladro called, the expression of everyone in the room instantly turned ugly. Dots of disgust also began to appear within the eyes of each of these people.
And without waiting for any response from Santiago or the people around him, Theo succinctly and quickly continued the rest of the story. It ends by taking out the Hell Orb, then throwing it at Santiago.
"With this, I assume I have finished conveying the message senior Alejandro gave me! So I beg you to resign!" Theo said, closing his explanation then starting to turn around.
"Wait a minute!"
But before Theo could take any steps, one of the old men in the room stopped him.
"Young master! We can't just let this kid go! He's too suspicious!" Said the old man who stopped Theo's steps to Santiago.
Santiago himself did not give any response, he only still looked at the Hell Orb in his hands with a contentious look. Seemed to be contemplating something.
Seeing no answer from Santiago, the old man looked back at Theo.
"Young man! You can't leave this place!"
"Senior, I'm sorry, I can't do it, there's still a lot of work to do!" Answer Theo. Then without caring anymore, began to step his legs.
"If I say shut up! Then you should shut up!" Jerked this old man, starting to give off an aura of darkness to suppress Theo.
Sensing the aura of darkness beginning to suppress him, Theo quickly released the same aura of darkness. While Arthur, seeing Theo's distress, restrains the old man's dark elements, unleashes his dark aura, helping Theo to survive.
"Hmmm... You also have an aura of darkness? Moreover, your dark aura looks unusual! It's also good for a young Knight like you!"
"But it's still 100 years faster for you to fight me!" Suck up the old man.
A moment later a strange tattoo began to appear, along with the appearance of this tattoo, the pressure of the dark aura belonging to the old man increased many times. This makes Theo and Arthur who are under pressure begin to have trouble holding him back.
"Trying to play darkness with me who is the 17th elder of the Dark Guild? How funny!"
However, as soon as the elder finished his words. An aura of darkness that was no less powerful spread out from the bodies of Theo and Arthur. Also accompanied by the appearance of the pentagram tattoo adorned each of them.
The aura Theo and Arthur gave off continued to grow stronger over time, beginning to make everyone in the room feel the pressure.
"What's this?" Said the 17th Elder. Started to put on a horrified expression.
He is closest to Theo and Arthur. Now it was under intense backlash from the dark aura they were emitting.
Amidst the silent atmosphere of this sudden turn of events, Theo began to turn around, looking at the old man before him with a sharp gaze, then instead of looking at Santiago who now also seemed to look back at him.
"Before, when I received the message from senior Alejandro, I just wanted to help fulfill his last wish. There is absolutely no intention of asking for any return!"
"However, look now? Not only ungrateful, you even wanted to make me a prisoner?"
"What kind of empty muzzle is this?"
"Senior Alejandro told me that his Black family is a family that knows how to return the favor!"
"Are those words just a figment of the thumb?" Theo snorted coldly, his sharp gaze straight at Santiago's eyes.
