185. The True Story

“Where did you get that spear?” reynal's tone changed slightly, making Abraham realize the direction of the young man before him.

“From a friend” Abraham tried to lure Reynal further, he deliberately to make his answer sound original.

“A friend? Who is he?”

Reynal remembers that the spear was none other than the one he sold to an imperial nobleman named Daniel. He bought it so expensive at auction last year, Reynal would not believe Daniel would give it to a friend.

“Why are you so curious? What is your relationship with this spear?” Abrahamic sarcasm.

“Obviously I have a relationship with this spear, someone once bought it at the Martial Academy very expensively, it is only natural that I will ask that to mister.” Abraham nodded in understanding, he then looked at Reynal for a moment as if searching for the truth from his face.

“Alright I will tell you, My friend who gave this spear is named Daniel.” He said with a smile, he continued his story while looking at the sky with a difficult feeling to express.

Abraham began to recount the beginning of his getting the Sea Dragon spear, eight months ago when the first rebellion occurred in great magnitude.

“At that time I was still an elite member of the White Lotus guild. Edgar's chairman, along with the vice guild chief, Yondai, attempted to help the Humanie empire repel the rebels from the western part of the empire. A large army of hundreds of elite members of the White Lotus guild were sent to assist in the plan. I was among the hundreds of elite troops to finally meet with the imperial army of Humanie led by the third prince and several nobles including Daniel."

Initially the decision of the chairman Edgar to send elite guild members was strongly opposed by the other guild officials because at that time the White Lotus guild was still in the development stage of large-scale. But Edgar preferred to give his best friend great support and assistance, the third prince.

Back in the battle situation, I was assigned to help with the division where Daniel's army was. Because the power I had the highest among the troops there made Daniel raise me to be his representative, from that moment on my contact with him began to be familiar and close.

But from there our compactness began to be felt because it often uses combined attacks to finish off enemies. So the joint attack of the two of us at that time became very famous both on the enemy and the rebels we faced as well as the imperial troops and the White Lotus guild.

Yet right on the thirteenth day of the battle, something we did not want to happen. Forces led by the third prince along with Edgar's chairman came under attack from various sides.

This made the formation of the entire army chaotic, the rebels then separated us into several small groups which made it easier for them to slaughter the troops from the White Lotus guild and the empire.

At that time I was with Daniel in the same group, at first we were both able to control the situation but the number of enemies that made the spirit of Daniel weakened.

He then pulled out a very beautiful spear weapon. Daniel told me that the spear would be his last weapon against the rebels. Daniel's words made me understand his point a little. I tried to keep encouraging him but in fact Daniel's words came true.

We managed to survive and survive the siege of the enemy but Daniel suffered many injuries and he had run out of energy and blood during the fight. Just the next morning when the new day had come, Daniel breathed his last. He left me a letter to receive his heirloom weapon as a sign of friendship from him.

Since then I have always used this spear in every fight. Because we both have promised to fight together for the rest of our lives.” Abraham closed his story with a sad smile and a drop of tears that he did not have time to wipe or he did intend to deliberately drop it.

Reynal bowed lethargic, not knowing the true sense of loss felt by Abraham but surely Reynal felt a deep sadness in Abraham when he told it.

“It seems like the other newcomers have enjoyed their adventures in the world of Soun, unlike me who keeps training in order to be strong in order to get back to the real world soon. I just realized that some of them have earned their second lives here.” Reynal murmured
