In a palace located far between the forest, more precisely this palace was located in a corner of the world a place very far from life, there was not even another living creature around the palace.
Currently in the main hall of the palace, a man with short golden hair was sitting on his throne while observing the chessboard that was in front of him.
This man was sitting alone next to the chessboard, there was only a servant who was an old man with hair that had already turned white, based on his face, he was about 50 years old and above.
Although the man in front of him was playing chess alone, the servant did not consider him a freak at all, he just stood quietly behind him respectfully.
Not long after, the door of this room opened and the figure of a female servant with long red hair appeared in this room.
He walked without hesitation in front of the man who was playing chess alone, even though he was a servant but his actions and manner of walking looked very disrespectful which was far different from the servant.
Rather than a servant, this newly arrived woman looked more like a soldier.
He stood in front of the man playing chess before saying "Master Torei, the result of the meeting of the Master of the Labyrinth is known, sir, Urmur and the other Labyrinth Lords had already decided to attack the gods who were besieging Fran's Labyrinth".
"Is that so? The information is not wrong, is it, Halra?" said Torei, the man who plays chess alone.
Halra who was the red-haired female servant replied without hesitation "This information I got directly from the trustworthy spies, which I could trust, besides these spies don't know each other so it's impossible for them to work together to give me false information. Just in case, I've also confirmed it myself".
Torei nodded, she moved the king in the white pawn towards the group of black pawns that formed a siege on the chessboard. Then Torei moved the group of black pawns to take down this white pawn king, Torei shook her head "Urmur is dead, he jumped towards the trap the gods had prepared. It seems that Urmur was too old and had too good a character, so he failed".
Halra was not surprised by Torei's words, even she strongly believed in the truth because Torei in the past had many times known the results of a war before the war began, so it's very likely that Urmur must have died according to Torei's words.
"Sir, do we have to act to help Urmur? After all, only he had been most likely to defeat the gods" Halra asked carefully.
Torei shook her head "No need, Urmur's life and death have absolutely nothing to do with me. When this Urmur dies then a new Urmur must appear to fight the gods, although we also plan to kill the gods but it is not yet time for us to move".
"Are we still waiting for the person you mentioned first?", asked Halra again.
Torei nodded without hesitation "In this world no one can defeat the gods, not even me. But there is 1 person who has the possibility to defeat him, my task is just to wait until the figure arrives and help him win. As long as that person never shows up, then I won't move either".
Halra asked hesitantly "Then why didn't you tell me the name of the person you were waiting for? I might be able to find it using the spies I've been spreading around the world".
"There is no need to look for it" Torei said without hesitation "When he is strong enough then I will definitely listen to his name".
Halra suddenly recalled something "If talking about a new strong person, I heard that there is a new star among the Master of the Labyrinth. Although he was not yet strong enough now, his strength increased at an extremely frightening speed. From rank 9, he could become rank 4 in just about a year".
"Very great" said Torei who lay on his throne indifferently, according to him a new star simply could not attract his attention.
"The boy's name-Wait, he's a skull so it's weird enough to call him a kid. If it's not wrong, it's Foj, right! His name is Fjor, Fjor, I remember! The name of the new Labyrinth Master was Fjorten Elos!", said Halra shouting with pleasure because she could remember the name of Elos that she had forgotten before.
Halra does not remember the name Elos of Awa because she is the same as Torei, a new star cannot attract her attention which makes Halra not remember the name of Elos too much.
But Torei who had previously been lying on her throne immediately jumped up, she who had looked disinterested now had a very panicked and surprised face.
Torei held onto Halra's shoulder and looked at her carefully "Halra, say! Say the boy's name again!".
Halra was a little surprised because she had not seen Torei so excited for a long time, the last time Torei was most excited was when they faced the god dubbed as the 2nd strongest, Luri. Although they could not win back then, but they were able to escape alive from the hands of Luri who had already displayed their strength.
"His name is Fjorten Elos, I believe it is the name of the new Master of the Labyrinth" said Halra doubtfully as she was afraid to speak wrongly in front of Torei who was her master.
"Fjorten Elos's? No doubt, that's his name. Yet are their names just coincidentally the same or is this new Labyrinth Master really the person I am looking for?", Torei muttered in thought.
Halra couldn't help but ask again "Master, is there a problem? Could this Fjorten Elos be a-".
Before Halra could finish her words, Torei had already said firmly "Halra, prepare everything needed for our journey, this time I will go to observe the battlefield of Urmur's death directly. I'm not sure if this new Master Labyrinth is really the Fjorten I'm looking for, but it never hurts to see".
Although still feeling confused, Halra still accepted the task given by Torei "I understand sir, I will let our best guards to prepare".
After that Halra left the room as quickly as possible to do her job.
When Halra left, Torei stared at the old servant who had always been silent behind her "Uncle of Tyre, I will hand over this fortress to you, as long as I'm gone then you have complete control of this fortress and guard it".
The old servant named Tyre bowed respectfully "Don't worry sir, as long as I'm alive then I won't let anyone destroy this fortress".
Torei nodded, a smile appearing on her face "Finally, we'll see if this Fjorten Elos is really the person I've been waiting for all this time or their name just happens to be the same!".
