V01 CH 06 :

At certain road to Valor Village, a wooden carriage can be seen from afar. In it a man wearing a long robe covering his body from neck to his knee.

On his right chest can be seen a symbol with white golden cross color and a rising sun behind it. It was an official symbol of high priest from cathedral city.

He is reading a book with a leather as it cover. every time he flips the paper, he scarth his head because he can't read it.

Well, not because he can't read but because the content of the book are written in an ancient language that no one can read it anymore.

So, why he carries that book knowing he can't read it? That because the book itself are the copies of the holy book that written by Divine Hero himself 100 years ago. Just by carried it can give a pleasant feeling to his carrier. It`s also having a power to repel a bad aura from someone or evil spirit. So for a priest, having this book is a must.

“Sigh, Valor village is the seventh village that I will visit today. Hopely, the one that we are looking for are there or else, pope will mad at me again.”

The high priests sigh continuously while remembering the scene that he has through last night.

----- Falshback -----

That night, when the pope convoy is on the way to Regilia Kingdom, suddenly, the original book who only pope allow to holds now shining brightly. He then shouts at driver to stop the carriage then he get out and put his two knees on the dirt.

The knight and all priests who witness that scene immediately rush toward the pope who suddently kneeling and praying, wondering what just happen.

Soon after, he suddenly gets up. He raises his two hands, then constantly jumping around with a bright smile on his face then laughing. All the people who witness this scene are tittle their head.

“He comes. He finally comes. To think I still alive to witness his form, what a great news. Hahahahaha.” The pope shout joyously without caring the confuse gaze of all people there.

Pope then suddenly fix his posture. He then patted all dirt on his knees, then fix his gaze toward a certain priest.

“Simon, I have an important mission for you, can I count this mission to you?”

The joyous smile on pope face just now are nowhere to be seen. Now pope uses his serious face and a bit of light aura leaking from his body. Everyone gets tense when they see the miracle in their own very eyes.

“As you wish our pope. I shall carry your mission and by god, I will definitely complete it.”

“Good, then I want you go toward the west, visit all the nearby village you can visit till you arrive at Regilia Kingdom. I want you to find a certain someone and bring him to me.”

“How shall I know this man who you are seeking pope?”

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

“You shall know him when you see him. Your book will show the way and it will shine brightly when near that person.”

“As you wish pope, I shall carry this mission till I completed it.”

Pope relaxing his face once again after hearing Simon answer. After bidding him bye, the pope and his follower continue their journey and take North road, it`s the shortest road to the Regilia Kingdom while Simon goes to West road, the longest route to Regilia Kingdom.

----- One Night After ----

It`s morning now, Simon then continues his mission to find the man who pope looking for. He has confidence that he definitely finds this person. So, with a smile on his face, Simon then goes to the first village just near his camp location.

At first village, he search the person with a care and smile brightly, gives anyone who see his smile also smile back.

At second village, he also smiles brightly and the villager who sees his smile also smile him back.

At forth village, his smile now nowhere to be seen. He just looks around without care hr get looked by a villager.

At the sixth village, no smile can be seen on his face and he continuously sighs on the way back.

----- Present -----

Now he on the way to Valor village, it`s the last village locate near Regilia Kingdom. Honestly, he doesn't know if he will find this guy there, so with a long sigh, he closes his book then laying his head on carriage chair.

“Sigh, it`s already afternoon, huh. Guess I will have to set camp soon, then go to Valor village tomorrow.”

With that said, he closes his eyes while thinking a good reason when he facing pope tomorrow.

----- Scene Change -----

“And, behold, I just take the coin right out of Marina ears.”

All the kids who watch my magic performance, clapping their hands. With a small village without electricity like this, just performance a small magic trick already gives a bright smile toward kids here.

After I healed the villager with their back pain, Marlow said he will back right away and ask me if I want to come to his house with him.

For me, to visit a countryside village like this are rare, so I just said that I want to see the scenery here before going home.

Then, when I'm sight seeing, I saw Anna sitting alone on top up wood log. She just sits there, watching her friend playing on the field with a boredom expression on her face.

So I Approaching her and cheer her up with simple magic trick and somehow, i beable to make her smile again. The other kids that notice my magic trick getting hooked by it and approach me to watch it from up close, then after one trick, he demand me to do it again. 

Without me knowing, now I have 9 kids as an audience for my magic trick.

“Alright, for my next magic, I will make this handkerchief vanish on my hand grip. You shall not blink because you will miss the miracle.” Soon as I said that, all the kids fix their gaze to my right hand, their eyes shining for expecting something outrageous to happen.

Then, with a devious smile, I open my hand and the kids surprise because the handkerchief that suppose to be on my hand now gone.

Of course, the handkerchief is not really gone, it`s just hidden behind my thumb. But because I only show them my front hand, its give the illusion that the handkerchief really gone.

“Then, summoning handkerchief back again, I need one person to help me. Do we have a volunteer?”

“Me me, pick me please.”

“No, pick me, pick me.”

“Sir priest, pick me please”

All the 9 kids raise their hand to volunteer them self. They probably just want to watch my trick from up close. Hahaha, what an innocent kid.

“Alright, then phill, come here.”

I chose Phill, then I place my right hand near his ear, then pull out the handkerchief that I hid on my thumb earlear.

All the kids clap their hands again. After that, I keep performance simple magic trick and without realizing it, it`s already noon, so I bid them farewell then head back to Marlow house.

It was fun, playing magic trick and give them a small entertainment. At least, no one bored with my magic trick, so I really feel happy right now.

“Hey you, please wait, i need to talk to you.”

I heard a man's voice from my side. When i looked at the source of that voice, a man can be seen wearing a same robe as me.

Though he wears a blue light color robe while I wear aqua blue color robe. I also can see a small symbol on his right chest too.

He's roughly taking breath with a face full of excitement and, is it just me or the book that he carried in his right hand, are somehow glowing?

Just who is this guy?
