Finding the Sacred Tree

Finding the Sacred Tree
The adventure begins part 5



When I entered the house, I was surprised because there were so many swords hanging on the wall. In addition to swords there were also shields, spears, and other war equipment.


"Wow, there's a lot of guns here. What's all this for?"


"Oh. Usually this weapon I sell to the kingdom."


"Oh.not complicated yeah, have to go back and forth. Why don't you stay in the kingdom. It's safer than monster attacks and it also saves you time selling your stuff."


"I live here because of my father. He loves living in the wild. He said it's quieter and more peaceful out here. If in the kingdom it is noisy and a lot of neighbors who often talk about our family. When it comes to monster attacks, it never happens here. Because around the neighborhood of this house, has been given a variety of deadly traps. So if there are monsters or people who are not known to enter the neighborhood of this house. They must have died immediately."


"Oh that, but how come we didn't get his trap?"


"Yes because you came in with me. So it's not a thing."


"Oh that..."


While we were busy talking, Rika was busy herself looking for a good weapon. He saw the sharpness, the heaviness of the sword, the straightness. Anyway he corrected the sword in great detail and detail so that the sword he was carrying was fitting for him and not flawed.


"May I choose this sword?" Rika suddenly spoke, while we were still talking.


Raj and I see Rika and Raj answering her questions.


"Could you, please. But it cost 2 silver coins."


"Do you have to pay?" I was surprised because I thought it would be free.


"Yes that. Kamj thought I'd give the sword away for free."


"Okay, I'll take these two swords. So how much is it." Rika showed a medium-sized sword as well as a sword that looked like a needle.


"Hmm.all that costs 5 silver coins."


"It's really expensive."


I said so because those 5 silver coins were the equivalent of 50 bronze coins. While 1 bronze coin you can buy 1 Bread.


Rika took out a kind of pouch and opened it. Once opened it turns out that in the bag contains a lot of gold coins.


I saw him was surprised and wondered, where did he get that many gold coins.1 gold coin is equivalent to 20 silver coins and in the bag there are about hundreds of gold coins.


"This is enough." Rika threw 1 gold coin.


"Wow this is actually mostly." Raj catch.


"It's okay. That's for the map, guys."


"Oh okay.thank you then." Raj keeps the gold coins in his pocket.


"So where's the map."


"Oh yes. Wait a minute, it's in my dad's room."


Raj immediately went to the second floor. When Raj left, Rika went back to look at the sword and there I approached Rika to ask for the gold coins.


"Hey Rika, where did you get that many coins?"


"Come, I won't divulge it nor will I ask for it."


"Well, I get from Tapoc every month. Tapoc every month must always give 10 gold coins to grandfather. Well... I usually take 2 gold coins to save myself."


"Wait, so you corrupted grandpa's money."


"not corruption. More precisely if I am saving for the future. After all, that much coin will surely run out for life and also for grandfather gambling."


"You're right too. I agree with your decision."


"Easy. Now get away from me. I want to see this beautiful work alone." He swung his hand as if to throw me away.


"Alright, alright. I'll see the armor there." I also went closer to the armor that looked so cool and dashing.


Not only did I step, Rika suddenly held my hand and stopped my steps.


"What else is it? Just tell me to go, now stop, what do you want?"


I turned around and when I turned around, Rika looked at my face for quite a while and it made me slightly blush in embarrassment. He brought his face before me. Getting closer and closer. Her lips were right in front of my lips as if she wanted to kiss me.


[What is this? Is he going to kiss me?] I said in my heart.


But then he stopped and gave me the sword.


"Here's a sword for you and bring me this black book, I'm tired of carrying it on." Rika gave it to me and then just left without any guilt.


There I was still petrified and not moving at all.


"This is why you shouldn't expect high, because when you climb too high and you fall, it hurts so bad." I turned around and walked back disappointedly to where the cool armor was.


When I saw the cool armor, my mood returned again and did not care about the previous events. Shortly after that came the sound of footsteps heading down and it must have been Raj. So there we did not care about it and still focused on looking at the weapons there.


When that step was near and behind me right. I turned around and wanted to ask about the map.


"How Raj. The map is, right?" When turning around the body. I was so surprised. Right behind me it was Raj. But only his head. While the head is being held by someone and that person is a cricket.


He is not currently wearing a mask. So I could see him smiling very widely. When he smiled I saw there were a lot of insects crawling on his face that made me feel amused at him.


"Hello young man, how are you?" The cricket greeted me politely.


Even if he greeted me politely. I won't say it back. So I immediately pulled out the sword Rika gave me and immediately wanted to slash it. But the crickets turned out to be very agile, he immediately jumped back before I slashed at him.


"What are you doing here, motherfucker!?"


Rika is still unaware of the existence of the Crickets. But when I screamed he immediately turned around and realized there was a cricket holding his head Raj. Without a second thought he also directly took out his needle sword and pointed it at the Cricket.


"Why are you here? And what have you done to Raj? huh!" Rika asked who looked angry.


"What am I doing here? What am I doing here, huh?" He held his chin with an expression like a forgotten person, yet I knew he was pretending.


"Oh.iya.I remember now. There was a fierce person from our organization, telling me to take the black book you took." He said that casually like an innocent child.


"Well, give me that black book." After saying that, suddenly from all directions appeared his men who were ready from earlier and also his insects who came up from the floor of the house.
