Highest Place

Ch 2: Village in the Middle of the Death Desert, Bag 2

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Hearing this cry, Rudy who was currently still sitting cross-legged in his meditation was startled! He immediately jumped back so that the mini tent was dragged along with him, and then wrapped his entire body lying on the sand. He rolled around and around, so Rudy currently looked like a pack of trash that was being blown by the wind.

Rudy continued to roll right and left, trying to let go of himself.

Inara who was shocked, because when she woke up she found herself in a state of clothing, now even laughs loosely because she saw the incident that had been experienced by Rudy.

"Xixixixixixixi . .. fufufufufu . Sorry, sorry, I just unconsciously shouted xixixixixix"(Inara)

Inara laughed mocking Rudy who was in trouble, then Rudy who had managed to pull out his head tried to avenge Inara's ridicule.

"Basic Boy! Sorry I didn't do anything before. And don't imitate my laugh, ok? Mmmmmmm"(Rudy)

"Fufufufufufufufufu". fufufufu.

"Hmmmmm. Well never mind, anyway I'm not interested in fighting with the Little Girl either? Xixixixixixixixi manyin eat first there, hushhhhh"(Rudy)

"Huuuuuuu, yes, I was a child! Hemmmmmm"(Interra)

"Fufufu, um, yes, are you okay now? How are you feeling at the moment? sorry, all this happened because of my negligence"(Rudy)

"Emmmmm. well, thank you. I'm already okay, eh? Have we crossed over?"(Nautical)

After finding out that they were currently in an area like a forest, Inara asked Rudy.

"Emmm, well somehow I made it through the ice storm. Do you not feel any difference here and where we lived before?"(Rudy)

"Well, I think my breath's a little congested here? Hmmmm?"(Nautical)

Inara, who was only wrapped in a blanket, stood up, then she took a walk to see the forest area around her.

At this moment Inara also felt that her movements felt a bit heavy.

Rudy asked because indeed he had known about this before, which was why he kept asking about Inara's current state.

He was worried that Inara would find it difficult to adapt to the environment in which they are now.

Well, maybe because the aura of Mana energy here was much thicker, it caused the air here to feel heavier when compared to the previous World Center Area.

That was what had limited the movements of the two of them at this moment.

So, the two of them had to adjust to the change immediately.

Resume...

Rudy, who had escaped from the collision of the mini tent, was now sitting leaning under a tree.

At this time he was looking at Inara who was still busy touring.

And because there was something strange, Rudy spoke.

"Ehem, hey Inara? Before going around, at least put on your clothes first? Ahem, don't add to the tough life of a nice guy like me this, ok? Ehemm."(Rudy)

Knowing that Inara was not wearing anything, Rudy told her to put on her clothes immediately.

Well, Rudy who now no longer feels anxious. He could think normally now. And Rudy fantasized a little because he knew Inara, who is currently only wrapped in a blanket, ahem.

"eeeeee? Well, sorry! I'll be wearing my clothes soon"(Inara)

Hearing Rudy's words, Inara who was a bit embarrassed immediately rushed to pick up her backpack and disappeared behind the trees.

"Sek' sek' sek' sek" (illustration of changing clothes)

After putting her clothes back on, Inara walked towards Rudy who was currently still under the tree. Rudy was still sitting leaning back with his eyes closed as if he was asleep, then?

"Puk puk puk puk"

Rudy heard the sound of steps approaching him, he opened his eyes and saw Inara who was already near him at this time.

"Ehem, well, no need to think about it? Will I be responsible?"(Rudy)

Rudy immediately said something a little strange to Inara, but the clever Inara immediately knew the meaning of Rudy's words.

Then Inara replied to Rudy.

"Emmm . . Yeah, thanks for keeping me"(Inara)

"That's my obligation. Hemmm, yes, I will release my psychic form to see the settlement in the middle of this Oasis for a while. You just eat first and keep my body here?"(Rudy)

"Yes.."((Nautical)

After saying those ambiguous words, Rudy sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate and focus his consciousness.

Right now, Rudy seemed to have let go of his psychic form.

While Inara who was nearby still slightly blushed after hearing the words that had been spoken by Rudy just now.

Then Inara emboldened herself, she brought her face closer to Rudy's face and kissed Rudy's unconscious right cheek.

Still a little blushed, Inara again sat under the tree as well while eating the canned food they had brought before.

Then from a distance?

Rudy, who is just a psychic form, clearly saw the scene performed by Inara!

Then he muttered?

"Based on a fucking body! Enjoy such pleasure alone. Hemmmmm, motherfucker!"(The Psychic Rudy)

Rudy was upset because his first cheek kiss, had been snatched by a figure who was his own body.

Then while still complaining, Rudy's Psychic Form flew over to continue his current spying activities.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Elsewhere?

In a large enough room about 30 people were gathered in front of an Altar.

It seemed like they were all praying to the 2 Gods they trusted.

Well, on the Altar there are two statues that stand upright, with a large bell hanging on the pole in the middle of the two statues.

Lt then?

A young man who was about the same age as Inara, broke the silence in this place. He asked the Old Man who seemed to be the Leader of them.

"Cyral Head? Why else would we survive in this arid desert? The rest of the people have also long abandoned us. But why should we continue to pray to the heavens while the God or Messenger from Heaven never appears again here? Maybe they're leaving us now? Tribal Chief?"(Youth)

After hearing a statement more akin to that complaint, the Old Man glanced over and slightly sighed heavily.

"Heeemmmm, guarding this place has been the duty of our tribe since tens of thousands of years ago. Can't we ignore this task? This is the task that the Gods have given to our Tribe"(Chief of the Tribe)

Hearing the reply from the Old Man The young man continued his words in a slightly loud tone!

"Grandfather! Until when else do we have to survive in the middle of this arid desert! It's been over 2000 years, God didn't come to bring his Messenger from Heaven, right? mere."((Youth)

"That's enough! Please get out of here, now!"(Chieftain)

After being interrupted and told to go out by the Old Man who was his grandfather, the Young man's complaint stopped. He left the altar room.

Well, this settlement in the middle of the desert is the residence of a tribe that has been assigned as guards by the Gods since ancient times.

Since the evacuation process carried out by the Humans and Elves from this side of the world, since tens of thousands of years ago this tribe has been assigned by one of the Gods to guard this area.

But because 10,000 years ago the connecting tunnel was closed, the evacuation process of the Humans and Elves was stopped.

But about 5000 years after the tunnel was closed, another God Figure came to this City.

Well, it's a fragment of the psychic form of the god Ildraiz.

It was his first arrival. It was at the time when the God Ildraiz delivered the Chosen One from the central world the other side of this world.

Since then this tribe has been given a new task by the God Ildraiz, which is to help the Envoy who came from the center of the world overcome the problem of the Manacube tunnel link.

The area that used to be a Temporary Stopover City, before humans and fairies crossed over to the central part of the world, changed its function to become the first residence city for the Heaven's Envoy before they did their job.

Resume...

But now this place has become a barren wasteland!

The once vast forest and the great city have been slowly lost and covered by desert sands for a thousand years.

People who used to be residents here have also gradually left this area without life, they go to other places that are more worthy to continue their lives.

In this continuously narrowed Oasis area, there were only about 200 inhabitants left!

They are all the remains of tribe members who still survive and continue to maintain this long forgotten place.

Well, even though they all have to live in distress every day.

Here they could only rely on this little remaining Oasis to sustain their daily survival.

But all the remaining members of the tribe are still surviving, due to the noble task that their tribe has received from the 2 figures of Gods since ancient times. And they also believe that one day the figure of God Ildraiz will come back to this place, bring a Messenger from Heaven and help them as in the glory days of this tribe in the past.

I don't know what kind of story the Chosen Emissaries had brought, before Rudy.

What great things have they done in the past. Though they were only assigned to overcome the ManaCube problem that was likely to explode.

Well, what happened at that time, only the people on the other side of the world know.

Resume...

What is clear is that this tribe of guards has been living in agony for a very long time in the middle of this arid desert.

Indeed sometimes some groups of men from the tribe members also went to the area outside the desert, they went to buy food supplies and other useful equipment.

Well, it is done to complete the needs of their daily lives here. Because most of the remaining members of their tribe are only children and women, so they are always difficult to live a normal life in the middle of an arid desert like this.

Well, that's part of the story about this tribe in living their difficult lives.

Because the function of this place is deliberately kept secret since ancient times, people from this world do not know about the true existence of this city.

But as time passed, there have been many stories that have spread about this place.

The possibility was told by the residents who had left this desert area first. And this is why this vast desert area is better known as the Death Desert until now. Even the ManaBeasts and Demons were reluctant to stay in this area.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Info, since long ago the central area of the world has been called heaven by humans and fairies at that time.

It was only natural that if they called the central area a paradise, because their central area could live in peace without needing to be frightened by the attacks of the Demons and ManaBeast as it happened on the side of this world.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Continue the main story...

Rudy who is only a psychic form is currently walking to observe the state of the settlement and the residents here. He saw that there were old houses made of stone and some parts of the ruins that had been destroyed.

The debris was scattered and scattered in the area around Oasis, most of the ruins of the building have also sunk its part buried by the desert sand.

After seeing all that, Rudy also commented full of complaints.

"Hmmm. It's definitely an undeserved place, right? How can they raise children well in areas like this, hemm?"(Rudy's thoughts)

Rudy was a little concerned after seeing the miserable state of life of the people here. Then he heard something that made him a little surprised!

"Eh? They also speak the same common language as I do? Hemmmm, it seems like a common language is an official language that humans have been using since ancient times, yes. Good then, hemm?"(Rudy's thoughts)

Because Rudy is just a psychic form, so between him talking and thinking it makes no difference now.

Resume.

After knowing that the language used here is the same, and there is also no dangerous or strange thing about the population here, Rudy also intends to return to where Inara is currently.

Rudy also flew low above the dilapidated settlement, he glanced down a little when passing an old building that is quite large, the building stands firmly in the middle of the residential area, the settlement area, it did look a bit flashy when compared to other situations in this area, but Rudy did not care much and continued his flight.

Lt then?

"Teng' . . . ' . . . ' . . . ' . . . ' . . . Teng' ...?"

The sound of loud bells echoed throughout the Oasis area at this time.

In a large hall where the place of the God's sacrificial altar and the great bell were located. The Old Man who was the leader of this tribe slightly gasped and trembled!

He doubted what was happening right now, then he looked at the other tribe members who were currently feeling the same way as him.

Because according to the descending notes of their tribe, the large bell that sits on the Altar has not sounded once for more than 2000 years.

After witnessing such an amazing and historic event, the old man immediately prostrated himself!

It then made other tribe members who saw the old man's behavior, feel confused about what happened to their current Chief.

At this moment the Old Man was completely moved, since he had only heard about these stories from his grandfather who was also the chief of the previous generation.

Indeed the story of the Great Bell has been passed down by the Chieftain of the previous generation to the Chief of the Tribe of the next generation, and it continues until now.

According to the records and stories that have been passed down the generations, the big bell is a magical artifact that will automatically move if the figure of a God is near it.

It is also inscribed on another ancient record from 5000 years ago, before the figure of the Messenger from heaven came to this world, there will be a figure of a God who comes first to this Altar to convey his order. The arrival of the figure of the God will be marked by the tolling of a large bell that is on the altar of the offering 7 times.

but strangely at this time the big bell only tolled as much as 6 times. In his 7th move, the Great Bell failed to sound and thereafter there was also no order from the Gods as recorded in the ancient records.

Indeed the current events are slightly different from what the chief had known. Well, the knowledge he had gained as the Chieftain of this tribe, it was also the same as the Chieftain of the other generations before him.

But the old man did not think too much about the slight difference, as he was currently feeling very happy!

While still prostrating, the Old Man looked up at the bell above the Altar with tears of gratitude on his old face.

Then he screamed emotionally.

"Mhhh . . . This is a sign of the coming of the gods! The gods have not forgotten our tribe! Praise be to the God of Heaven"(Chief of the Tribe)

"Cyral Head? The Chieftain? What exactly happened?"(Guards)

Seeing his Sukunya Chief was currently shouting while crying, a burly man who was about 30 years old asked the Chief. The man did not know the details that were going on right now.

But without giving the man an explanation, the Chieftain immediately gave the order to him.

"Quickly gather all the remaining members of our tribe here! All of them! The gods have come . . . The gods have come to us.."((.Chieftain)

After the guard heard the astounding words from the Chief, he immediately ran the settlement to inform all the remaining members of the tribe about this incident.

This caused a stir among all the remaining tribe members at this time, they all immediately went to the large building where the offering altar was located.

All the men and women who were parents, children, young men, they had all gathered in a large hall where the altar of offering was located.

They all sat down with wisdom and listened to the words of their Chief who was currently standing at the front while explaining everything.

After listening to the words of the Chieftain, they all began to be busy preparing for the celebration ceremony for the arrival of the God they had worshipped since long ago, they were also preparing to welcome the arrival of a Messenger from heaven. At this time they all rejoice because the long wait of their tribe will finally be paid.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

But now Rudy who does not know about the ongoing events in the settlement.

Now he had returned to his physical body and then he explained all the things he had witnessed in the settlement to Inara, after that explanation they both decided that this afternoon they would enter the dilapidated residential area.

Rudy and Inara did not know what kind of incident they would experience there later in the afternoon.

The plan is now that they will both find a source of water to clean their bodies, then have lunch and a new afternoon they will leave for the dilapidated settlement.

Seriate...

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

description of the novel:

The huge bell was a magical artifact usually used to measure the psychic energy capacity possessed by the Gods.

Well, that means this bell only resonates with psychic power energy.

But how much psychic energy is needed to move and ring this bell even for 1 time?

And an additional note: psychic power is one of the other forms of Mana change, but psychic power is generally only possessed by the Gods and their messengers, as well as all the creatures that live in the sky.
