*At Wimpffen house*
"What the fuck did you say? That trash kid awaken his power and you told me that he is more powerful than 6 experts? UNACCEPTABLE!!" said Frey Wimpffen. Frey Wimpffen is the head of the Wimpffen family and he is his father Steve Wimpffen. Frey Wimpffen has a wife named Brittany Wimpffen. Brittany Wimpffen was a noble who hailed from Crasselvard Family. The Crasselvard Family is a family that has a greatest mana among other extended families and has very strong combined magic and the main magic of the Crasselvard Family is water magic. So, that Crasselvard easily makes combinations with wind magic and combine both of the magic could be produce Ice Magic which is the ice magic very strong and very dominates than other extended family and other families acknowledge the abilities of Crasselvard Family. The Wimpffen Family has very dominant magic and The Wimpffen Family is one of the Seven Great Families and the main magic of the Wimpffen Family are Lightning Magic and Fire Magic. The Wimpffen Family has three son, the oldest son named Simon Wimpffen, the second son named Paul Wimpffen and the third son named Steve Wimpffen. Simon Wimpffen turned to 25 years old while Paul Wimpffen is 23 years old. Among the three of them, Simon Wimpffen is indeed the most talented than the others but, Paul Wimpffen is no less great because Paul is genius child so, he can learn any types of magic. It's just that Paul is not so interested in strong power that Frey Wimpffen or their father paid less attention to him than Simon Wimpffen. When Simon and Paul heard that Steve awakened his power and his power is different from the Wimpffen Family, it makes Simon careless about Steve and underestimate that his power will not be stronger than him. However, for Paul who listened to Steve's awakened, Paul was delighted to hear it and interested to see how strong Steve is now. So, Paul decided to visit the place where Steve stayed and ask how he was doing recently. Paul asked permission from his father to go for a couple days and Paul didn't tell him where he was going so, Paul quickly cleared up the things that he wanted to bring and went straight to where Steve was stayed at Silvermount. Paul knew Steve's whereabouts because long before Steve was at Silvermount, Paul was the one who secretly kept Steve from a distance but, when Steve was in danger, he couldn't act easily because Paul didn't want Steve to rely on the strength of his brother. Therefore, Paul let it go when Steve wanted to be killed by three assasins and Paul was not expected that Jack would come to save him so, Paul was relieved that his little brother still alive than seeing his little brother gotten killed by three assasins. Paul immediately left his residence and left the Ezurenth Kingdom. The Kingdom of Ezurenth is located in the middle of a hexagonal city where in the north is called the City of Oasis, in the northeast there is a city called the City of Garmeuse Archipelago, in the southeast there is a city called City of Fulginiae, in the southwest there is a kingdom called the Kingdom of Tarvisium, in the northwest there is a kingdom called the Kingdom Akreorus. These six provinces all have systems originating from the Ezurenth Kingdom. The Ezurenth Kingdom was a famous for its prosperity because of large numbers of noble who invested their money to buy a position in the kingdom and strengthen in terms of trade, both trade within its kingdom and trade sent out of the other kingdom. The Wimpffen Family also had an important position in the Ezurenth Kingdom so, it could easily influence the current ruling king named Issac Bissonnette. Issac Bissonnette who ordered three assasins to kill Steve at the will of Steve's father, Frey Wimpffen. The Ezurenth Kingdom also has a level of position who spread over several regions and the order in a kingdom from the highest to the lowest are King - Duke - Marquis - Count - Viscount - Baron and Issac Bissonnette is the king who rule the six government in Ezurenth Kingdom. These five governments have the names: Duke Charles Holme ruled in the Tarvisium Kingdom, Marquis Adriaan Appelo ruled in the Akreorus Kingdom, Count Victoria Lindsey ruled in Oasis City, Viscount Issac Gates ruled in Germeuse Archipelago, and Baron Curtis Bauer ruled in Fulginiae. They all believe that they are all messengers of the gods to create splendor and prosperity for the people - his people even for those who oppose and betray the messengers of the gods then they will be sentenced to death. However, King Issac Bissonnette was not a king who had a firm stand, King Issac was easily controlled by Frey Wimpffen and whatever Frey Wimpffen said, King Issac easily obeyed to Frey Wimpffen. Frey Wimpffen's position is as an adviser who is always with King Issac in any situation because that is what makes the government ranks in the Ezurenth Kingdom began to dislike Frey Wimpffen's arbitrary attitude towards his people and his government ranks like Frey Wimpffen is the King of the Ezurenth Kingdom. Even the government of the Ezurenth Kingdom strongly believed that Frey Wimpffen had bad intentions against King Issac so, that King Issac obeyed Frey Wimpffen's words and that was Frey Wimpffen's plan to seize the throne and position to make Frey Wimpffen become king of the Ezurenth Kingdom.
The journey from Ezurenth Kingdom to Silvermount City took four to five days to reach Silvermount City and along the way Paul Wimpffen was traveling alone and using only his horse. On the way Paul Wimpffen met a middle-aged man who was lying on the ground and his goods were being looted by three bandits. This man did not want to give his money and he did not want his belongings to be damaged by them so this man asked Paul to help him. Paul was touched when he saw the middle-aged man and immediately got off his horse to help the man and ordered the three bandits to stop his actions. However, these three bandits did not want to listen to what Paul was saying and loudly told Paul to go away and stay away from what the three bandits were doing. One of the bandits threatens Paul if he doesn't want to leave then these three bandits will kill Paul after that, they will also kill the man. Hearing that Paul could not just be silent, Paul also gave a warning to the three bandits if one of them touched the man, Paul would not hesitate to kill them all. Hearing the threat given by Paul, the three of them could not hold back their laughter so they laughed out loud and they did not think that the threat given by Paul made one of them die suddenly which made them both suddenly silent and see their friend. who died with blood all over his face. The two bandits were surprised to see him and again saw Paul who was just silent as if he had not done anything. Seeing Paul who was standing and still in that place made them both scared so they both prefer to run away from him and leave the things and money that he took from the man. Paul also gave money and merchandise that was placed on the ground and the man thanked Paul. Paul asked the man's destination and the man replied that his purpose was to go to Silvermount City where Paul also wanted to go to the city. Paul also volunteered to help him and became a bodyguard for a while to reach the city that the two of them were aiming for. Along the way, the man told me that when his son awakened his strength, his son took on a quest so that he could not come home for a long time. Therefore, this man went to Silvermount City to meet his son who lived there for some time because it had been a week since his son had not given him any news, which made this man worry about his son. At first Paul didn't want to speed up his speed to get to Silvermount City but when Paul listened to the man's story, Paul immediately ordered the man to speed up his pace so that the two of them could get to Silvermount City and the man could find out where his son was. Paul also asked for his son's name so Paul could also help find him and the man gave his son's name. His son's name was Victor Odland and the man introduced himself, Hugo Odland. Hugo explained that he only carried the name of the Odland Family just in case he was no longer part of the Odland Family because Hugo insisted on marrying a woman who was not of a noble origin. Hugo understood the rule of nobles that he had to marry a noble as well and if he did not comply, Hugo would have his name removed from the Odland Family and expelled from his residence. Because of that, Hugo's fate has changed, which was once a noble, now has to trade in antiques and Hugo hopes that his son, Victor, can have a better life than his father. Paul, who listened to Hugo's story, was touched and understood the decision Hugo had made, because Paul gave Hugo an encouragement not to think negatively about his son. Paul also promises to help find Victor until Victor can meet his father. Hugo was very grateful to Paul, but Hugo could not pay for the services Paul had done so far, so Paul did not ask for a reward from Hugo because Paul sincerely helped him in any way. Paul also used telepathy to his bodyguard who was in Silvermount City to guard Steve and when the telepathy reached his bodyguard, Paul immediately gave a new quest to find a man named Victor. Paul also asked what Victor used, hair color, skin color to Hugo and Hugo answered the question asked by Paul and Paul immediately told the bodyguard the characteristics Hugo had just told him. Paul's bodyguard understood and immediately carried out the quest that Paul had just given, but before he left, he duplicated himself in two to keep Steve from a distance, then he went to find Victor. The sun was starting to set and the sky was getting dark, so Paul and Hugo looked for a place close to a lake or river to rest there. Paul immediately went to the forest to look for wild animals to hunt while Hugo looked for wood and twigs to make a fire around the lake and make a tent for a place to rest. Paul came back with his prey and immediately cooked on a big fire. After they both ate until they were full, they fell asleep. The next day they both continued their journey and it took another day to get to Silvermount City. The two of them sped up their pace so that they could arrive at a faster pace later tonight. Along the way, Hugo begins to feel a bad feeling and asks Paul to go even faster so that Paul has no other choice but to comply with his request. Paul also accelerates his pace and suddenly Paul's bodyguard telepathically informs him that Victor is not found in Silvermount City and makes Paul surprised to hear it. Based on the quests he's done, it should be Victor's quests around Silvermount City. If Victor had to go out of Silvermount City, then the farthest Victor could go was the countryside in the southern area of Silvermount City. However, neither the Silvermount City nor the southern countryside could find any Victor living there. Paul's bodyguard had asked the people who were in Silvermount City about Victor who lived there but, none of them knew Victor so that was what made Paul very surprised to hear him and immediately ordered his bodyguards to wait for Paul's arrival to Silvermount City.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Late in the evening, Paul arrives in Silvermount City and decides to stay at the nearest inn. After Paul rented a room for him and a room for Hugo, Paul's bodyguard came to Paul's room and explained in more detail about the disappearance of Victor who was in Silvermount City. Previously, Paul's bodyguard also told me about his younger brother, Steve, who was doing an assignment outside Silvermount City and would return the next day. Because of that, Paul's bodyguard also advised Paul to meet him and jointly look for Victor in that way, Steve will also gain experience in fighting, strategy, and making decisions in fast time. Paul also agreed with what his bodyguard suggested and intended to wait for his younger brother the next day, then Paul told his bodyguard to end his task today and rest. The next day, I arrived in Silvermount City and was about to tell the bartender the success of my quest because he had promised that if I made it back in two days, I would get one week of free food. I immediately rushed to where the bartender was but before I went to my lodging where the bartender was, I saw my brother Paul who was right in front of me and he smiled at me and greeted me. So far, my brother Paul and I have never had a problem. Instead, the two of us have always gotten along since I was little. However, everything changed when Paul found out that I had no manna in my body and everyone said that I was a handicapped child so my father was very ashamed to have a child like me, even His Majesty wanted to kill me and if it wasn't for Jack who saved me, then I died a few days ago. Because of that I tried to ignore my brother's greeting and continued on my way. Paul who saw me kept walking past him tried to approach me but, I didn't care about him and I kept walking towards my lodging. Paul also apologized to me for what he had done before because he could not help and he was not strong enough to help me but, he was happy when he heard that I had awakened my strength and he came to Silvermount City to meet me and try to improve the relationship between his brother and big brother. I, who did not want to be consumed by what he said, chose to ignore it and still walked towards my lodging. After I got to my lodging, I met the bartender and greeted him and told him that his quest was too easy for me. My brother who was following me was shocked when he saw the crescent moon tattoo on the bartender's arm and immediately asked what he wanted from his brother and gave him a warning not to approach him and even use it as a tool. The bartender could only laugh with amusement at Paul's words and I cut them off and reminded the bartender of the promise we talked about earlier. The bartender complied and gave me free food for one week. After he gave me a special dish, he also gave a special meal to my brother and my brother didn't want to eat it because he thought that the food for him had been poisoned. I also scolded my brother and told me that this bartender had saved me all this time and he was the one who provided a place to live for me and he also gave me a valuable experience so that I could learn how the real fight was. I don't understand why my brother hates the bartender so much, but what is clear is that I don't care if my brother wants to try to kill him, then I'm the one who will fight my brother. Paul listened to what I said to him and started to cool down his emotions and choose to yield to me. However, Paul could not take it for granted and he began to tell me about the beginning of the crescent moon. The bartender really appreciated Paul's courage to speak about it in front of him and the bartender seemed to allow Paul to tell the origin of the crescent moon tattoo.
