Junta & Wizarding World
#42 Old Tower
Under the bright shining sun, there was a lizard carriage speeding by, the carriage was not too big, but not too small either, the train at first glance looks like a large wagon with a roof pulled by 2 large lizards, who sit in front as a coachman there are 2 women who look almost the same age, he said, both of them wore a kind of large cloth that covered all parts of their bodies except of course their heads, the large cloth they wore was generally called a robe and they wore robes of different colors, he said, one was wearing a black robe and one was wearing a dark green robe.
The black-robed woman had short blonde hair on her shoulders, her red eyes were focused on the road in front of her, and his hand clasped tightly onto the rope that seemed to be in control of the lizards, on the other hand, the green-robed lady sitting beside him observed the woman with her purple eyes, his purple hair that was as long as his back was blown by the wind that was strong enough to make his hair a little messy, none other than the two of them were Zonya and Alicia.
And of course what's in the car is a blue-haired figure with a brown robe that he always uses, for a male-sized blue hair may be quite long, like, especially the hair on the front that covered her right blue eyes, and the one sitting next to the man was a red-haired woman with a brown robe as well, his red eyes stared focused at the book he was reading, of course Junta knew what book Kou was reading, it was the book they had borrowed from Professor Barley, since this journey began, Kou seemed very focused on reading the book, Junta actually did not want his sister to push herself too much, but seeing Kou who was focused like this also made Junta not want to bother him.
After not knowing what to do with Kou, Junta turned his gaze towards the large wooden box set around him, actually this carriage was quite spacious if only for the four of them, but for the four of them, but thanks to the big wooden boxes that are here that finally make this train a little narrow.
“Hei Zonya, do you have to bring this much stuff?”
“Junta, how many times have you asked me like that?”
“Because this train is getting a little cramped with the boxes you're carrying, don't you think this is too much?”
“Junta, we will go to the kingdom of elves, and we will pass through 2 kingdoms namely the kingdom of Slyn and Varka, I just don't want to miss this opportunity to sell the items I can get during this trip on”
“Since when did you become a trader?”
“Hey, it never hurts to buy stuff somewhere and take it and sell it somewhere else, after all we have a train and we will pay a visit to various places on our journey, he said, elf kingdom is a faraway kingdom of Junta, there is no harm right we take advantage of this trip to get more money”
“What I am concerned about is the number of boxes here that make this car a little narrow”
“How else, these are all interesting items at a price I can't ignore”
“Su-Here is Junta, I think Zonya has a point.”
Alicia said that in a tone like a person who did not know what to say.
“O-Oh yeah, Junta, by the way why are you chasing this guy? Elf kingdom is a faraway kingdom, why bother to that kingdom just for the sake of this person?”
“That's because I need to meet with Alicia, maybe she has some information that I want to have”
“It looks like he has very valuable information..”.
“Sure, but there is a possibility that he is a dangerous person, when things get out of control, Zonya, I am counting on you to look after Alicia”
His zone that had focused on the street in front of him began to turn his head slightly back to look at the Junta.
“Dangerous? I hope you don't interfere in The Fingers Junta” affairs
Zonya said that with a serious tone and look.
“Relax, I don't interfere in The Fingers”'s affairs
“I hope you tell me the truth”
Zonya said that while turning her head back to look at the street in front of her.
“Oh yes Junta”
Zonya turned her head slightly back while saying that.
“By the way from where did you get that medicine back then?”
“Medicine?”
“That time, when we were dealing with a big spider, if not wrong that time you were running a request from someone”
Junta tries to remember the medicine Zonya meant, and what Junta can remember is the useless expensive medicine he bought while going to Polski village to execute Queen Rana's request.
“Oh, the drug, what's up?”
“Where did you get it?”
“I got it from a trader in the capital”
“Mother city?”
“What's the problem?”
“Hmmmm”
His zone turned his head back to look at the street in front of him.
“The medicine should be expensive and not easy to find, even the Association did not have much, so I was just curious where did you get the medicine”
“I don't know where the merchant is, so don't ask me”
“Uh.. Actually I've been wanting to say this for a long time.”
“What do you want to say Alicia? Even though I am class 5 but you don't need to feel bad, just think of me as your friend, I also prefer it like it”
”Zonya and Junta look pretty close.. How long have you known each other?”
“Uh... Which junta do you remember?”
“Of course not, why should I remember such a thing?”
“Hmm I can't remember clearly Alicia, but I'm sure it's been a while, why?”
“Ah is fine... I'm just still surprised how a class 0 like Junta can be a class 5 friend like you Zonya”
“Hmmm, I don't know how I should answer that, but I have no problem being friends with Junta even though he's class 0, right Junta?”
“Ya so”
“Wait a minute, what the fuck with your tone that is like resigned it”
After riding the lizard carriage for quite a while, the sky began to turn orange, signaling the night was about to arrive, after knowing their time was not much, Zonya immediately looked around her, looking around her, and he saw a kind of tall tower not far from their position.
After arriving at the tower, it turned out that the tower was a round-shaped tower, the tower was quite tall and looked like it had been abandoned for quite a long time, anyone would have thought that if they saw how the stone walls of the tower were overgrown by vines that were long enough, not to mention that the stone walls of the tower looked very dull and fragile, The junta, doubtful about the tower's power, knocked on the wall to ensure the old building would not collapse while sleeping inside.
“I didn't know there was a tower here”
Alicia said that while looking up to see how tall this tower was.
“It looks like this is the tower that used to be used to keep an eye on this area”
“Observing?”
“If I don't remember wrongly, it used to be an area close to the border of the kingdom, many monsters are active around here, so Ratu Rana set up this tower to keep an eye on the environment around”
“Be-So yes.. This tower is quite great because it can still stand until today”
“That's how, I just hope this tower won't collapse when we sleep”
Zonya tried to open the entrance to the tower, but it didn't seem to open.
“Hm? Is the door jammed?”
Zonya tried again to open the door, but it showed no sign of opening, after tired of trying to open it, Zonya took something out from under her cloak and did something to the door, Junta, Kou and Alicia could not see it because they were behind her now, Zonya, it didn't take long for Zonya to make a sound like something open.
“That door is locked?”
The junta that had been standing quietly beside Kou began to speak up.
Zonya said that while opening the old wooden door.
After going inside, Junta and Kou took a look around them, to be honest there was nothing there, only a few stone floors between those floors had already started to break down and other than the broken floors there were also stairs leading to the top floor, besides, there was nothing.
“I think we can spend the night here”
Zonya said that while walking out of the tower.
“A-Ah, I'll help Zonya bring the goods”
And after saying that Alicia went to follow her Zonya out of the tower, leaving Junta and Kou both inside the tower.
“Kakak”
“So you feel it too?”
Kou nodded signaling a yes answer.
“I'm not sure if he is a monster or not, but obviously we are not alone in this tower, I feel there is an air of something else even though the air is very weak”
”More when we entered earlier, I could not smell the scent of dust at all, it was very strange for an old tower that had long since been left not to have the scent of it”
“Oh, since Big Brother said that I think there is a point, then what should we do now?”
Right after Kou said that, Zonya and Alicia went inside while carrying the wooden box they took from the carriage, they placed it on the floor before finally opening it.
“Zonya”
Junta walked over while calling Zonya.
“What's up?”
“It seems we are not alone”
Dengan cepat Zonya memasukkan tangannya ke dalam jubah.
“Where?”
Kou and Junta stared at the stairs simultaneously then Junta said.
“It looks like it's on the top floor”
After Junta said that, Kou said.
“I hope nothing dangerous is locked here”
“Alright, we will check it, not funny at all if we are attacked while we are sleeping”
And so Zonya, Junta, Kou and Alicia went to investigate the tower, because the tower had a few windows, so the tower was a little dark, fortunately the sun had not fully set so the Junta could still see despite the slight distress.
After finishing climbing the stairs, the first thing the Junta saw was 3 wooden doors, not far from their position there was also another staircase leading to the top, and, His zone beckoned them to split up and open each door at the same time, after which Zonya gave her a cue, they opened the door at the same time and found that all the rooms were empty.
Kou who felt a bit of weirdness stepped into the room he just opened, of course the Junta that was nearby immediately followed Kou inside.
“What's Kou?”
Not minding his sister's question, Kou focused on looking around the surrounding, the room was actually a simple room that only contained 3 bookshelves, it was a simple room, the number of books on the shelf can also be counted with one hand, after looking at the three bookshelves, Junta finally understood what made Kou enter this room.
The bookshelves were too clean for something long abandoned, no cobwebs or thick dust, it was a little dirty but considering how long this tower had been abandoned, of course it is clean.
“It looks like we are not the first to come to this tower after this tower was abandoned somehow for how long”
Kou said that while taking the book that was in front of him.
“Even this book is also not too dirty.”
“Is it possible for Ratu Rana's warriors to come here to pick up something?”
Junta said it took a walk towards his sister.
“I doubt if they still left any valuable items after deciding to leave this tower”
“Whether they did decide to leave this tower or they had no other choice, we do not have enough historical knowledge to think about this, he said, why don't we go upstairs and see what we can find?”
Kou looked at the book he was holding before finally putting it back into the shelf, after putting the book back into place, Junta and Kou walked out of the room where Zonya and Alicia were waiting for them.
After that they walked up the stairs to the next floor, after arriving at the next floor, the Junta only saw there were 1 wooden door on that floor, and in not far from their position, the Junta only saw there were 1 wooden door on that floor, and in not far from their position, there was another staircase leading up, Zonya immediately gave a signal to Junta and Kou to get ready, understand what they should do, and get ready, Junta and Kou quickly but quietly pressed their bodies against the wall to the left of the door, then Zonya and Alicia followed in their steps gluing their bodies to the wall on the right side of the door, after seeing the Junta giving a nod of the head, The zone that looks ready to fight also opens the door and immediately moves his body to stand right in front of the door with a pose ready to attack.
But it turns out that the room is also empty, this time the room contains several large jugs and several wooden boxes that are the same size as the wooden box owned by Zonya, which is a wooden box, after Junta and Kou went inside, Kou immediately saw the contents of those large jugs, and of course inside the jug there was only a cobweb, there's nothing else in there.
“What room is this”
Alicia said that while opening some wooden boxes that were there.
“I don't know, maybe it's a room to store things, Junta, Kou, are you sure you guys feel there's someone else here?”
“I'm very sure Zonya”
“Then let's go to the next floor, remain careful and vigilant”
After Zonya said that, they moved towards the next floor.
After going through several floors that only contained an empty room with useless items that looked very old, Junta, Kou, Zonya and Alicia finally reached the 10th floor, the floor that seemed to be the top floor in this tower, there were no more stairs visible leading to the other floors, there was only a simple staircase made of rope attached to the wall, if Junta climbed up the rope ladder, he would encounter a wooden plank that seemed to be the door to the top of the tower.
On this 10th floor, there were only 1 door, because the previous floors only contained empty rooms, then there was definitely something behind that door, His zone quickly signaled the Junta to get ready in its position, just like before, they pressed their bodies towards the wall that was beside that door, after all was ready, he said, His zone opened the wooden door and it turned out that it did not want to open.
Realizing that their position must have been discovered, Junta prepared with the sword that he always carried on his plate, Kou who was behind Junta was also prepared to attack directly to help his brother, after Zonya managed to unlock the door, Zonya quickly opened the wooden door and of course quickly stood in front of the door to prepare to attack.
In that dark room, the Junta could see that there was someone there, even though relying only on sunlight as illumination was actually not very helpful, the Junta knew that the figure was a woman, the woman used a kind of plain cloth that looks damaged, the cloth only covers her body from shoulder to knee, which shows her hands and feet affected by cuts and punctures, not only that, Junta also saw his hands and feet in the chain which made Junta sure that he was some kind of prisoner, plus the floor in the room was dominated by a kind of red liquid that was unmistakably blood.
Zonya who saw this situation immediately put her foot into the room, but not until her foot moved, Junta stopped Zonya, and, then the Junta took the broken stone from the broken floor and threw it slowly into the room, and nothing happened, after feeling that the room had no traps, no traps, Zonya and Alicia immediately ran towards the figure.
“Hei! Can you hear me?!”
His zone shook the female figure slowly, but the female figure only closed her eyes, after not receiving a response from her, Zonya quickly placed her hand on the woman's neck.
“The pulse is weak, Kou can you use healing magic?”
Kou who had been standing at the door with the Junta finally walked towards the female figure after receiving permission from the Junta, after that Kou held the hand of the female figure and then Kou's body glowed green dimly.
The junta who wanted to observe closer started walking from the entrance towards the female figure.
“I-This.”
Kou looked at the wounds on the woman's body with a surprised look.
“What's Kou?”
“Ti-No.. It's just it looks like this will take” time
It seemed like Kou was having trouble healing this woman's wounds, which to the Junta was something rare, indeed, Kou's strength in this condition is not as strong as Kou's condition when using his Full Potential, he said, but still Kou's ability in this condition was more than enough if only to heal wounds like this, but the fact Kou was having trouble made Junta wonder, what really happened to this woman?
