Chapter 5
It's already the last day of our departure. After what happened yesterday, the uncle then thought me much about ships, like the one where we are standing is above the crew's cabin, Fo'c'sle. The 3 mast that this ship has are, Mizzen, the smallest one, located at the back of the Main mast, which is the tallest and center mast, and Foremast, the 2nd tallest and stationed in front of the main mast. And also the bowstrip tip is called Jibboon, it helps in gaining speed in a ship. And there's a lot more, the sails names and usage, even the deck parts and the ships part below, there were a lot to the point that I give up
"Hahahahaha don't worry lad, you will get the hang of it. When I was young, I just smack my head in the ship's mast using [Bash Dash] just to remember everything. You might try that, it might work"
"No thanks, I'm good. I still need my head, thank you"
Both of us just laugh of such conversation. It was such a hassle to handle something like this, shipping and its part, for a man like me, so it's much better to let an expert to do it instead of me.
We also made a bet for who could catch a much higher rank fish, and guess what? I lost 30 silver for 3 catch, which lead me to 20 big silver coins, and 15 silver coins left. He still thought me how to fish though
"Don't let the fish be railed, but rather, let the rail be fished"
He said, which is still, something I don't get
"To fish them, is to make the fish, fish not fished"
And another advice of whatever does it mean. After such, in the early morning of the 3rd day, the uncle vanish, living no trace behind, not even his name or what he was called, he just disappeared into nothingness, which is somewhat disappointing.
.....
After the ship we are boarding reach the port, we then descended and started procuring some horse to be rented. Renting a horse till the kingdom would cost 1 big silver coin to 2 big silver coins. You might be asking, how do the stable take back the rented horse? Its simple, like a guild association, stable has also has another stable located in the kingdom. You just need to show the [Renting Pass], and they will give you 20 silver coins back, if the horse is well and fine. You will pay additional 1 big silver coin if its lost, and 2 big silver coins when the horse is dead, quite a system.
After we have rented a horse, only 2, which will cost 1 or 2 big silver coins each, as I don't have enough money. We still need to find an inn for a couple of days, or more for us to stay, if the quest the kingdom asked will take longer before completion. And as it will take 4 days to reach the kingdom from the port, we still have enough time to earn money, but it's much better to save and expect the worst
"Let's go!"
"Tsk"
As Sheryl clicked her tongue to Natsumi's energetic call, because right now, as we have 2 horses only, one of them will ride with me, and Natsumi just won the bet, rock, paper and scissor. We then started heading to the kingdom.
....
"Natsumi shoot its head, while Sheryl will take its minion. I wil try to finish it off, after it lost its balance"
"Okay!"
"On it!"
As both then responded to my call. Right now, before suffer or evening, we started hunting some monsters, for food and money, and now, we are battling a {Tusk Devil Worm}. A two-legged worm with 2 huge Boar tusks on its giant spiral mouth side. it has 3 minions accompanying it, a {Devil Worm}, a small size {Tusk Devil Worm}, without a tusk. A {Devil Worm} is a peak silver rank monster, while {Tusk Devil Worm} is an early gold rank monster.
Natsumi took a shot on the {Tusk Devil Worm's} head, with a [Sparrow Shot] and [Swift Shot] combine using [Meld]. While Sheryl used [Concealment], [Swift Feet], and [Abyssal Dagger], as she took down the {Devil Worms} one by one, with an assistance of Natsumi's [Gales Embrace]+[Sparrow Shot]+[Curve Shot], as she targetted the {Devil Worms} legs. While I on the other hand, focus on the {Tusk Devil Worm} itself
"Engulfed them, [Transmission Magic] [Ember]"
"[Flame Glaive: Fier Aprins]"
"[Flame Breath]"
I then swung my sword in a horizontal manner, as I used the sword that my aunt gave me. The blazing flame output is much stronger and ragging than before. The weapon of Sheryl and Natsumi were also made a drastic change. Sheryl's blade became sharper, while Natsumi's shot had more power that before. Our team is really getting stronger now.
The {Tusk Devil Worm} then casted [Sandstorm] to escape, and [Sand Impale] to counter my attack, but I then flip myself up as I dodge its ground attack. I then changed my sword to spear
"Engulfed it, [Transmission Magic] [Jack]"
"Summon it, [Cast-Transfer] [Rune Sphere]"
"[Flame Blanzet: Os lancea]"
As I took hold the spear that I summoned from a magic circle, I then griply hold its middle. As I was above the [Sandstorm], I then focus my eyesight to the monster below me,
"[Flare Gale]"
Like I was throwing, I then shot off a straight fire beam, and fired directly at the [Sandstorm] center
GRAAA!!
The monster then screamed in agony
Thud!
Then stumbled down with a loud fall
GAA!!
KRAA!!
The 3 minions then cried and stumble down, and lose their life, as both Sheryl and Natsumi, didn't miss a shot and oppurtunity as they continuedly attacking them, coordinatingly. After the [Sandstorm] lose its effect, it then showcased the defeated {Tusk Devil Worm}, with a huge hole drilled at its side.
After we have defeated them, we then started dismantling them one by one. We took the 2 huge tusks of {Tusk Devil Worm}, its legs, and some of its internal organ for alchemy use, or something. We also took the organs of the {Devil Worm} and both of its legs. We then move forward right after
.....
The south region is a region of desert, with only sand, soil and rock, but that only applies to the west, the east has still forest and woods. But whether it's on the east or west, the empire holds reign in all of the south regions.
It was almost at night as we are heading to the [Kingdom of Entel]. We already confronted with 4 {Tusk Devil Demons} - with 3 {Devil Worms} accompanying each - but all of them were inedible. Thankfully, we still have our ratios back in the city, so we still have our meal for this evening, and for tomorrow morning.
"Dinner is ready~"
Like a cute wife, Sheryl called us as she prepared our dinner, it's a [Tinola] (note: chicken stew in Tagalog). She used the {Crooster} meat she brought 4 days ago, and then casted [Preservation] so that it won't rot, which will take 2 weeks until the food that was casted with [Preservation], start rotting.
She cooked it as she melted the butter first to produce oil, then added the meat and fry it. As it produced a bit of golden-brown color on its skin, she then added water and Ginger-berry, and let it boiled. She was then cutting some vegetables, while waiting for a couple of minutes for the meat to be soften, some Custard Marrow (note: chayote), Carica Papaya, and Capsicum Annum (note: chili pepper). After the meat was quite soft, she then added the cutted vegetables and some salt, she then took a taste on it, before putting the lid back.
After a couple more, the dish was served. It's a townsfolk special dish, located north-east of our city, quite a lovely town. After we have eaten our meal, I then proceed on checking our equipment from our bag, after that, we then went straight to our tent that Natsumi built, and took a rest.
...
After we have took our breakfast that Sheryl cooked, a [Roosted-Crooster with Mushroom Sauce], by impaling the {Crooster's} meat in a stick, and roost it in a flame, she then made the mushroom sauce separately. After that, we then continued our journey.
.....
The east part of the south might still have some forest and deep woods, but some part still covered in sand. During our journey, we then encoutered another monster, a {Giant Sand Boar}. A 5 meters tall, and 3 meters width Boar, covered in light yellowish-brown skin, like a sand. With its 2 meters long tusk, and thick armored head, this guy is an early gold rank monster. Slashing, dicing, and piercing doen't work on this monster
"There are 3 of them, this will be tough one"
"Tsk, for all monsters we could fight, it's really have to be this one?"
Sheryl asked, as {Giant Sand Boar} can't be damage by sword, daggers, axe, bow, and spear. And as Sheryl was a dagger user, pretty much she can't do anything in this battle.
Right now, it's our 2nd day, as we started our journey to the [Kingdom of Entel], a place where elves once reside, was now taken hold of the empire, [Empire of Gruvarbetares].
The ones who asked for help, was none other than the [Kingdom of Entel], which is located in the east of the south region. As we are about to head there, down the path that we are passing, was blocked by a group of monster. We could turn around, and find some alternate route, but that would only extend our venture. The passageway of the path, both side of its side, was blocked by mountains (note: a defile pass, but wider), so the center will be the only route we could take
"This is annoying"
Said Sheryl, as she frowned and look in front as the 3 {Giant Sand Boars} that blocked our way. I can't blame her, as she just lost her means of fighting. She might help us by throwing some needles for distractions, but those are limited, as she only has 8. So for this battle, it will only be me and Natsumi, but
"Use [Shadow Duplication], and try luring them one by one. Taking them all in one would only end of us getting stomp, so try taking one of them out of the group as much as possible. Be sure they are further from the group, at least a distance where their scream of plea can't be heard"
I said, Sheryl then made a "oh darling~" face, as I told her that she wasn't useless, she truly isn't anyway, she just can't fight, but that doesn't mean she can't assist us. The skill she will use was the skill {Bulan} used during our fight. Sheryl was able to learn that skill thanks to the [Orb Skill], to be precise, a [Monster Orb Skill].
[Orb Skill], just like its name implies, an orb with a skill on it, it's like [Magic Scroll] in a sense. The orb can be obtained to anything that had skill, bestowed or created, that includes humans, but it's considered illegal, for an [Orb Skill] from humans, and there's already an organization handling such vile act, but we aren't talking about that now.
While [Monster Orb Skill], is a specific skill orb from a monster, followed by [Item Orb Skill], [Human Orb Skill], [Bestowed Orb Skill], [Beast Orb Skill], [Enchanted Orb Skill], and [Self-Created Orb Skill], and some more.
To have an [Orb Skill], you just need to use [Transfer Ore]. [Transfer Ore] is an ore found on the west, it can transfer the said skill on an [Orb Holder], which is crafted with an ocean deep blue jewel, with a darkish bluish-light at the center, found in the north-east ocean. This orb could be placed to a weapon for it to have skill, like the sword aunt made for me, I'm still not using it yet though. And each [Orb Skill], has a certain drop rate.
After I told Sheryl her role, she then used [Concealment] and [Swift Feet], and dashed forward
"Natsumi, try to distract the other 2 while Sheryl will lure the other one. We can't have them following and getting their guard up, and don't shoot them"
"Okay!"
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
She answered and went off, and tried finding a spot for her to take aim, while I have the tasked to kill them, as I have the firepower to do so
(Natsumi's POV)
As the {Giant Sand Boar} had piercing resistance, so my bow is completely useless, for now. Darling only asked me to distract the other 2, while that flat-loli will take care of luring the other one
"So, how should I do this?"
As I was pounding to how should I distract the 2 {Giant Sand Boar}
"Hmm….. She quite fast"
As that flat-loli already used her double, to lure one of the {Giant Sand Boar}s away from the group. She then moved herself (real), and went behind the lured boar. As she can't slash the boar, she could only make sure that it won't look back. I then took an arrow from my quiver, and aimed at the 2nd boar
"[Swift Shot]"
And then fired the arrow from my quiver, just a couple of distance away from the 2 Boars, but easy enough for them to notice. As I fired the arrow to the spot I aimed, the 2 Boars didn't faze nor notice it, so I took another arrow, and aimed again. This time I need to make sure to shot it close, not that close that they will be alerted, neither far for them not to, just enough distance for them to be curious. I then fired the arrow from my bow, as I found a perfect spot
"[Swift Shot]"
And shot at the place where the 2nd boar could notice
Grunt?
{Giant Sand Boar} grunts, in a low voice. It then moved closer to the arrow I just shot. It then stomp its big foot, and slowly close the distance between my arrow and itself
Snort Snort Snort
The Boar then tried to smell the arrow in front of itself, curious as to what is it. I then shot another arrow, just a distance away from the 1st
Grunt?
It then went over as I fired another arrow, just like the saying about carrot and stick. After I fired the 3rd arrow, and the 2nd {Giant Sand Boar} went further from the group
Squel?
The 1st boar then noticed something amiss, as the 2nd boar slowly went further from it. It then followed the 2nd boar behind, slowly went away from the spot they were on.
"Curiosity kills the cat ha"
(Sheryl's POV)
"[Shadow Duplication]"
After I set my 1st target, I then proceed to the plan we agreed on. Right now, I can't damage this fatass even how much I try, it could only be hurt by blunt attack, thanks to its sand like skin that covered its body, so my daggers can't slash it
"Argh!"
I could only groan in irritation. After casting [Shadow Duplication], I then use my double as a bait, while I lurk behind its back, making sure that the other Boar wouldn't follow it. To lure this guy, I used a dead rotten body of a bird monster, which is carried by my double. Slowly, I let the rotten dead body be spotted by the 3rd Boar, as I made my double to bend down, as to not be noticed by it
Snort Snort Snort
As it was alone and a bit further from the group, I then used that opportunity to the target it. As it smelled the rotten flesh odor, it then turns its giant stupid head towards my double's direction. The route we are about to take has an hourglass shape, so I just need to lure the boar at the west side, and Natsumi would do the same. With that, I then proceed.
As it noticed the food in front, slowly, the Boar went over, stomping its big foot forward. As it was a bit closer to the spot that I pick, and as I was sure that the other Boar didn't notices it dissappearance, it was time for darling to move.
(Creeper's POV)
After Sheryl lured the 3rd Boar to the direction where I was hiding, it was time for me to sleep this big fatty at once, but before I could do so
Guaah!
The Boar out of nowhere halted, and cried as it faced my direction
"Shit!"
It spotted me.
"They can smell me this far?"
The Boar then pawed its hooves to the ground below it, shakes its head before lowering it, then dashed forward. It was charging at me using [Boar Charge] (note: they knew the skill thanks to those adventurers who log it). As it was able to found my location, I then went out from the spot I hid, and jump out
"Engulfed it, [Transmission Magic] [Ember]"
I then touch my clothes, a smoldering flame then envelop me, and change its aura to a transparent light red armor
"[Flame Glad]"
I then channel again my magic to my knuckles, and surround it with my flame, [Flame Knuckles]. After that, I then change it to much stronger one
"[Flame Gauntlet]"
As I walked forward, I then clench my fist griply, and transfer my flame from my shoulder to my fist
"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"
As the Boar is almost near me, I then bend over and waited. As it was just a meter away from me
"Burst, [Amun Rukh]"
I then used one of my strongest blunt attacks. A straight flare punch then burst, and collided with the Boar's head
Bam!
"Ugh"
I groaned as I was pushed back, after the collition of my fist and the Boar's charge. The Boar's charge was much powerful than I anticipated, but I was still able to push it, a bit. After it shakes it head, it then stared again at me, pawed its hooves to the ground again, and dash
I then hurriedly dodge it. I need to rethink my strategy. A head on battle against it will only result on me, losing, for now, so it's better to find another way to kill this guy. As I decided to dodge its attack
Bang!
It made a loud bang as it hits its head on the ground wall
"....."
I was in deep thought on how to kill this guy. As I was pounding, the Boar then look at me again and charge, this time, I didn't dodge yet, as I waited. I need to try any possible trick that I might thought. After it got closer, I then leap from my right, and dodge the Boar's charge. After that, I then used my right foot to stop myself, stomp my left foot forward, and extend my fist into the Boar's belly
"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"
"Burst, [Magma Burst]"
And made a straight fire punch at its belly
Squel!!
The Boar cried. The impact was great, but the damage wasn't, as I wasn't able to leave a scratch on it. As I retreated back, I was in thought, right now I was testing the hardnest of this monster. The head was tough and hard to penetrate, while its belly could repel attacks, but only a bare minimum.
After I made sure which part should I target, I then went over back to my hiding spot, where I told Sheryl to wait. The {Giant Sand Boar} then stared at me as I vanish. It then shakes it giant head, made a loud snorting noises, pawed its hooves on the ground angerly. It then irritatedly charge towards my direction. I then came out, bend over, griply clech my fist and waited, waited for the Boar to come. As it almost reaches me, just bit of distance from me
"Gotcha"
I then jump out, and rushingly dash myself at the Boar's left side. The Boar made a puzzled look at its eyes widen in surprise, shocked that there were two of us, the one in front of it, and the one at its side.
After I went and hid myself, I asked Sheryl to use her [Shadow Duplication] on me. I then used my double as bait, while I wait for it to get closer to my double's direction for an ambush. I made sure I'm a bit distance, so that it won't get wary and only focus to my double
"Burst, [Amun Rukh]"
An accomolated fire magic that I stored at my right, as I clench my fist, hits the Boar's belly
SQUEEELLLL!!
It then groaned, so loud that its voice echoed
"Fuck"
I exclaimed, as I made a stupid mistake
Thud!
As the boars body hits the ground
GRROOWWWLL!!
Then a loud cry resound the mountain pass. The 2 Boars that were being distracted by Natsumi, was then rushed at our place. Loud stomp and clopping noises came, as they dashed themselves forward
"Darling"
As Sheryl look and asked me. I then pat her head and walked. Right now, there are two of us, my double and me. As Sheryl isn't yet proffecient in using [Shadow Duplication], my double could only last for 20 to 25 seconds only, and we already wasted a couple of it with the 1st Boar.
We then both used [Flame Boost], dashed ourselves forward, towards the 1st rushing Boar, and clenched each other's fist. I then stomp my left foot while my double used his right. We then stretch our arms and hit the Boar's thick armor head, synchronously
"Burst, [Amun Rukh]"
CRRACCKK!
SNAP!
The Boar's skull then made a loud cracked, and snapped its neck, and bended itself as it flip, and went over behind us
Thud!!
And fell down. We didn't stop as we dash ourselves forward, towards the 2nd rushing Boar. We then split up. I took the left while my double took the right. We then curved as we are already at the Boar's belly side, then dashed ourselves, stretch our clenched fist, stomp our foot, and strike the Boar's belly in sync
"Burst, [Magma Burst]"
SQUUEEELLL!!
It then cried, and let out its last tearful groan and died. After we have cleared the obstacle in our path, Natsumi then jump, and rushed towards my double's side
"....."
She then stared, quite a bit of time towards my double. She was gazing at him so deep that she only need to get closer to lick my double, as her eyes was so fixed and locked
"Awww~"
As she dejectedly pouted after my double disappear. She then look towards Sheryl, and rushed herself
"Come here"
And forcibly drag Sheryl futher from me
"Hey!"
As Sheryl objectively object Natsumi's grip, but Natsumi didn't stop and didn't cared. After they were a bit far away, both of them then started whispering to each other, silently discussing something which I felt curious about. Then afterwards, both giggled, and look at me lustfully and mischeviously
"Now what?"
I asked myself
...
It was now our 4th day in the south region, as we travel towards the [Kingdom of Entel]. During our 3rd day, we only have a peaceful journey. We didn't face nor encountered any monsters in our way, which gave us an opportunity to not delay our venture a bit. Sheryl keeps practicing her skill, [Shadow Duplication], everytime we settled down and rest.
And even after she cooked our meal, she was eagerly trying to master it, and wanted to extend its time even more, while Natsumi keeps encouraging her, which made these two, suspicious, but I completely ignore it, as it was there private matter. They will tell me when they want tell me, so for now, I leave these two for whatever they are up to, probably.
As it was already our last day in the wilderness, we then went fishing. In the south region, the region of desert, there are quite a few streams of water that are still streaming. There are some ponds and lakes, but most of them are dried up, which makes the situation in the south, grim. But as they are based of the world largest mining region, they started importing products from different city and country. From poultry farm to fishery, essential goods and accessories, and acquiring water was then been easy, when the empire invented pipes and waterway, as they connect from the ocean to the empire, and used filtration process, to filter out the ocean water to be drinkable. That is why the south is also referred as, [The Tinker's Empire].
We were able to locate a good fishing spot, just north of the kingdom, a lake. After we have secured a good spot and our location, we then built our tent. Sheryl then went over and started preparing our meal, as it was almost lunch. Natsumi took care of the firewood and tent, while I went directly to the lake, as I hold the rod that I just made. I only used a good sturdy stick I found in the area, and some thin string
It has been a couple of minutes since I started fishing, but even a copper rank Fish didn't took my bait, but I still waited though as fishing is all about patience.
.....
A couple more came. I was already taking a bit of nap, as I placed the rod between my legs, and leaned it to my left knee. I then crossed my arms, and closed my eyes. I also had a thin stick that I placed in my mouth, and then just add a straw hat, I would look like a wandering Samurai. Sheryl already called me twice for lunch, which I keep declining. After another couple more minutes passed
"Oh"
As for almost an hour or more passed, I just got my first prey. I then waited for a bit before I tried railing the fish up. I waited a bit until it tried dragging my rod into the deep. Afterwards
"Engulfed it, [Transmission Magic] [Ember]"
A blazing flame then envelop the fishing rod I made
"[Flare Pole]"
Thanks to that uncle teaching me the basic of fishing, I was able to equip myself another weapon, but I could only use this for fishing, for now. I then hold the rod's bottom with my left, and its middle with my right, and put all my strength to it
"Boost me, [Flame Boost]"
For easy fishing I used [Flame Boost], then pulled the fishing rod diagonally to my right
"Grip it, [Flare Lock]"
Splash!
The sound of the water came as the fish that my pole pulled showed. A long skinny horned Fish, with red eyes, coated in grayish-blue skin, a {Long Horned-Skinny Fish}, an early silver rank monster was my first caught
"Wait, red eyes?"
I asked. I then took a closer look to the fish I caught
"Jackpot!"
I exclaimed, as my first fish was a {Red-Eyes Long Horned-Skinny Fish}, a much stronger Fish than the {Long Horned-Skinny Fish}, with black eyes. A mid silver rank fish. I then continued fishing. As I was waiting for my next fish, I was fallen once again to the beauty in front of me.
The winds that breeze the vicinity, the trees that danced as the wind blows, the calm stream of water that flows from the river, each splashes that the water makes, the chirpping of the bird in the area, and the whispers of the insect in the surrounding was relaxing, soothing, and calming. It was peaceful. I then took a deep breathe, and let out a sigh of relief, and smiled to this beautiful view in front of me.
....
After 3 hours of fishing, I was able to caught 3 {Long Horned-Skinny Fish}, 2 {Red-Eyes Long Horned-Skinny Fish}, 3 mid copper rank {Bubbly Fish}, 4 early copper rank {Stream Fish}, and 1 early iron rank {Dizzy Fish}. It was a good catch for me
Grrroooowwwwlll~
I was so engross to fishing that I forgot to eat
"Better get back or else those 2.... "
I then hurriedly pack all the fish I have caught, and went directly to our camp site
.....
"Do you know what time is it? Lunch just passed by, but you still didn't eat! The 2 of us waited, but did you come? No! If it's time for you to eat, eat!"
"Sorry"
I sat down like a child as I was being scolded by Sheryl. She's cute if she's angry though
"You know we are worried, right? Please don't make us worry"
Natsumi spoke as she brushed my cheeks with her left hand, and pinched it, ouch, she was angry too
"Sigh, for this time only, we let you go, but you are only allowed to fish before or after meal, no DURING! Got it?!"
I then nodded, as Sheryl made a loud sigh, and placed her hands on her waist. Natsumi then gave me a kiss
"Do remember that, okay?"
As she looked at me like how Isabelle look at me, scary. That girl is really a bad influence. After I have taken my meal, quite secured and locked in ofcourse, we then continued our journey.
...
"Oh~ it's huge"
Sheryl spoke in amazement, as she placed her right hand on his forehead, and her left hand on my thigh. It was almost evening as we arrived to the kingdom, well not yet, but we are about to. We can already see the kingdom in a distance.
Sheryl was in front of me as we ride together. She was small so it's much better this way. She and Natsumi agreed to exchange who will ride together with me during our journey. Natsumi took the 1st and 3rd day, while Sheryl has the 2nd and 4th day, but Natsumi still pouts as she watch us.
"!!"
As we were just a bit of distance away from the kingdom, I was taken aback as out of nowhere, Sheryl just placed her big butt to my crotch, as she sandwich it between her two thicc buttocks, even Natsumi was surprised to Sheryl's action
"?!"
Another sudden assault then camed, as Sheryl leaned her body to mine, and wiggled her big ample butt. She then looked at me as I look below at her. She then smiled, mischievously. I already got her message, so I close our distance and kissed her. I gave her a deep kissed, while I was driving our horse. After we intertwined our tongue, I then detached our lips and whispered on her
"Just wait till we find a good inn"
And took a peck on her nape, she then replied as she giggled and smiled
"Hey! That's unfair! I want a kiss too!"
As Natsumi complaied, and hurriedly close the distance between her and me, just close enough that our horses wouldn't hit each other. I then chuckled before giving her a deep kissed.
.....
"State your purpose in coming to this kingdom"
The guard asked. It was almost evening as we arrived to the kingdom. We were then greeted by a huge thick iron door, with a huge wall surrounding the kingdom. Knights were stationed atop of the wall, and the one who asked us, was behind the wall at the gate's left, inside the wall to be exact
'There might be a passage there'
I thought. I then give the letter we recieved from the kingdom, and the letter that my uncle wanted to give to the king himself. They took the letter as we placed it inside a rectangular hole.
After a couple of minutes, the huge door then opened. 12 people clad in armor then came out, stood as they strengthen their posture, and greeted us as they bow. A man then came in front, with 3 men following behind him.
He then went to us, and halted not far away, nor close to us, but a distance just enough for us two to talk. He then strengthen his posture, puffed his chest, and closely close his legs. He then placed his left arm behind him, and his right hand on his chest in a horizontal manner
"We welcome you to the [Kingdom of Entel] travellers. The king is anticipating your arrival. I am the [Kingdom's Guard Leader], Elen, greets you and welcome you to our kingdom"
The man then stated his name before us, as he welcome us to the [Kingdom of Entel]
