Alpha: The Elemental Guide
Chapter 13: His presence....
"Hey, why do so many people here sleep on the side of the road? It's so dirty here."
"You don't know that? you're not from this country?"
"No. Why why?"
"All travelers or people who are not from this country should have permission to stay here. Wait for....Don't don't you enter this country without permission!?"
"Izin's? ahhhh..I mean the extortion of the money huh? lunatics! just getting permission to enter this country is very expensive!"
"Then how did you get in here!?"
"Hey-hey don't be surprised. Slow down dong.."
"Ahhhh, sorry."
"Certainly break through. You think this look of me is showing me a fortune?"
"That means you're a criminal.What's the matter with my life?"
"Ehhhmm?"
"Forget it. Enjoy that meat."

They also arrived at Rid's grandmother's orphanage, as usual Iven distributed the bread of his work to Rid's grandmother. Grandma Rid saw an unusual sight.
"Thank you so much, Iven. Sorry for bothering me every day. Son Iven does not need to give this precious thing every day. Just save it for Iven, don't think about grandma."
"What is Grandma talking about? Iven gave this because Iven wanted to, especially Iven couldn't let grandma starve that."
"Thank you, Iven. May the elemental guide bless you."
"May the elemental guide bless you again."
"By the way, who's that girl behind my Iven boy? Has Grandma Iven found a lover?"
"Bu-not nek" Iven's cheeks looked slightly flushed.
"Truly grandma, a guy like him isn't my type." Dea replied with an innocent one while eating her meat. Iven who heard that felt a little gloomy. At least Iven thought he was a pretty handsome guy in his area.
"Is that how it is? please help me take care of this Iven boy."
Dea simply replied with a nod.
"Hey Dea!! be polite with Grandma Rid."
"It's okay, Iven, it's been a while since grandma has seen someone as attractive as her. And this girl is a good boy"
"If grandma doesn't mind, that's it. Grandma I said yes."
"Yes, be careful on the road."
After meeting Rid's grandmother, Iven and Dea continue on their way to Iven's house. When I got home, Iven told Dea to take a bath first. Since then, Iven has smelled an unpleasant odor from Dea's body. Maybe Dea hasn't had a bath in days.
"Go take a shower there. Your body odor is unbearable."
"Ohhhhh, but don't take a peek."
"Ten-of course stupid! And don't waste that water, clean water here is expensive."
Iven went on to develop his master's gift tool. This time Iven tried something different than before. Try with different materials. This material is a very expensive material. Even to get this material, Iven needed to save for months. Iven hopes the material can function as expected. However, as before, the experiment did not get satisfactory results. Material failed to function properly. The oven needs to find another material.
"Ahhhh shit! here again! the results of saving me are futile."
"Such cheap material will work, right?" Dea who had just taken a shower, appeared behind Iven.
"Owjwhjwwjwj! just be surprised!"
"I'm sorry hehehe."
"Wait..Cheap material you say? This material is very expensive to know! it took months to buy this material!"
"Before I came here, this material is very easy to find. Even that material is far more valuable." Dea while pointing at the material used by Iven first.
"That's right! according to the merchant, this material was extremely hard to find! even all over the country!"
"Well, if you don't believe it already."
"Which area are you referring to?"
"Watah village, and not wrong in the arul mountains."
"Watah village....."
In that moment, Iven was aware of one thing about 2 criminals who came from the village of Watah. People who have seen both criminals mention their characteristics. The person mentioned one of the criminals is a man who wears a farmer's hat, wearing clothes typical of the land of lightning, he said, and bring a sword and a girl who wears a coat that covers her back who also carries a sword. It is not clear what evil they do, but they have been labeled as criminals since 5 years.
"Farmers' hats, back coats, swords, and the village of Watah?"
"....."
Iven, aware that the girl in front of him is one of the criminals, immediately took a knife nearby and pointed it at Dea. Iven did it as a form of martial arts.
"Don't come any closer!" The frightened oven told the girl to stay away from him.
"this again? is it true that no one in the world accepts me anymore?" Dea spoke to herself.
"Did you save me that was because of a certain intent!? are you going to kill me here!?"
"No, you don't have anything for me to rob."
"No means anything, it just so happens that someone will kill you then, of course as a human I saved you back then."
"Is it really like that? You're not gonna attack me or rob me?"
"Of course it's stupid, and put the knife down. That's dangerous."
Slowly, Iven lowered the knife. Iven with cold sweat is trying to look calm. Even though Iven knew that he could not trust Dea in the least. Just a little careless is the same as a life lost.
At that moment, the voice of the girl's cry for help came back. The attention of the two men was distracted by this.
"Hey why is that girl screaming like that?"
"Certainly kidnapped, the greats like us are used to this."
Dea immediately answered the scream. Wear all the equipment and go straight away.
"Where are you going!?"
"Of course to help the girl! don't you have the slightest sense of humanity!?"
"Of course I have! but it's free!"
"We haven't had much time. Just follow me. You can decide everything later!"
"Ba-good."
.
.
.
.
"Please! Help me!" The girl repeatedly asked for help.
"Are you not stupid? no one cares about the people."
The girl still asked for help.
"He didn't listen to us, bro."
"Whispering times! just tie his mouth, bro."
Of course, the girl also revolted when tied up.
"Silence slightly! we don't want your selling price to go down because it's hurt."
.
.
At that moment, suddenly one of the kidnappers bounced away due to an attack. The kidnapper next to him was shocked and saw a man who attacked his friend wearing a peasant hat and carrying a sword and a man behind him. Quickly the kidnapper took a swing, and summoned a wind salamander. He also with a glance saw his partner had already fainted from the attack.
"Who are you!? how dare to attack my bro so casually!"
"Do you want what that girl is?"
"Of course it's for sale! there's a potential buyer who's offering a pretty high price for a young virgin."
"Who is the buyer?"
"What did I tell you!" He ordered the salamander to attack.
Dea quickly evaded the salamander's attack and counterattacked the salamander with fists that had been coated with water. The salamander died instantly.
"Elemental water? Hahaha it looks like I'm going to be rich!"
The kidnapper again issued his salamander, this time he issued about 10 of the same salamanders. All his strength was used because he felt that if he defeated him, he would be rich. And the salamander looks like it's emitting acid.
"Feel this!!"
The kidnapper told his salamander to spout acid on the target. Because it is made of wind, the speed of the salamander bursts increases significantly. It could be said that the friction in the air can be ignored.
Realizing the bug could be fatal, Dea quickly used the buff on herself. By coating the elemental on the user's body, the user's body will get a certain buff.
One, two, three, four attacks avoided. But the longer the salamander attacks the faster. Dea becomes a difficulty for the attack. Even Dea was hit by the attack and made the clothes around his hips damaged.
"Just give up! it will all be in vain!"
Hearing those words, Dea smiled slightly, and said to herself...
"Could have?ehehhe..."
Dea is seen taking his sword, and it is seen that his sword is covered with water like water enveloping Dea's body.
"A-pa!!!??"
Dea slashed the entire salamander very quickly. Make everything die instantly. Then Dea with a buff at her feet, quickly came to the kidnapper and hit him hard. Making the kidnapper fly and hit a wall far enough away.
"Gfm...."
"I repeat once again, who is the prospective buyer?" Dea asked with a sinister smile.
