Magical Adventure Book

[Chapter 48-1] Tell Me!

Accompanied by Woofy next to me who stepped in with no intention - as he was still sleepy - and Shege perched on the shoulder, I walked slowly dragging a step, towards the palace exit. Continues to pass through the threshold, while bowing his head adorned with wrinkles on the forehead.

Honestly, I'm burdened with a lot of thoughts. About one last remark Artapatu had about riding the animals of the container haswa-who forgot, nor did I get to ask Princess Asaru-and especially about the strange behavior of the princess.

Goddamnit! Had there been a Zacky-who nicknamed himself the expert on female feelings-he would have given a lot of guesses about it. Well, although I'm sure, almost ninety-nine percent of it is wrong, but at least I don't have to think about it alone, right?

Ah, speaking of Zacky, I remembered Sam's friend who had not been seen since. Kord the Brave.

I could ask him about riding it. Reassuring what Artapatu said, even from testing with Princess Asaru was enough to prove.

My eyes skirted the crowd around the campfire. At the party that began to subside, I did not find a figure of fat and sounding potluck. Nor in the tents that stood lined up with several fighters chatting in front of him. I don't know where he is.

"Hey, hero!" The owner of that carefree and heavy voice suddenly hit me on the back.

I was shocked at once in pain. Look and find Mog smiling widely there.

Damn, just be surprised!

"I've been looking for you, Hero. The fighters are asking you because they suddenly disappeared in the middle of the party. Hey, I'm guessing you've been having fun with Princess Asaru, huh?" goda Mog's. Sneering width.

Hearing that instantly my face instantly heated up. "Eh, no. .. that was .. Yes, we just chatted normally."

Mog laughed at my stammering explanation. She seems to be able to tease me. I thought about telling Shege, who was now perched on his head, to peck at him to stop laughing.

"Yes already, young man. How about we go back to the party. There is still plenty of food and drink to be consumed. No fun if there's no you. The Hero of the Kingdom Capitor."

For a glance I glanced in another direction, which I had not been able to check.

"Sorry, Mr. Mog. It doesn't seem to be able to. Right now I'm looking for Kord to ask you something important."

"Kord yes. I saw him just now. He went to the back of the palace after finishing making a barricade fence." The muscular man pointed with his thumb past his broad shoulder.

I developed a smile because I unexpectedly got a useful clue. "Thank you for the information, Mr. Mog."

"No need to hesitate, Hero!" he said, accompanying my departure.

Without looking back, I ran small all the way to the back of the palace, where the stables, barn, and some other storage buildings were located.

At first glance I spread a look. Not one bit I found a fat figure there. If anyone could tell me.

"Your woof!" woofy Salak. Drawing my attention to him.

The brown-haired little dog momentarily sniffed the ground. Barking while looking at me, before running towards the palace stables.

Understand that he asked me to follow him. But for what?

Once again he barked before entering the stables. Want to not, I followed him. There is no point in keeping quiet.

The room with the wooden rooms, where the horses were kept, was silent without its inhabitants. Silent and dark. At least until I see an orange glow in one of the rooms. At his door, Woffy stood up.

I approached with slow steps. I watched the tall figure be there. Bewildered the question, how could Woofy know what I was looking for without telling him directly? It's magical!

"What are you doing here, Kord?" I looked up from the chest-high horse stall door.

Kord, who from the beginning sat pensively on a haystack, sat empty, the light of a lantern in front, was shocked when he heard my call. He looked up while breathing heavily. His eyes widened with his mouth forming a large "O" letter, which spouted cold steam.

"Damn you! I thought it was a ghost or something. Just be surprised!"

"Your own fault is here." I ducked to avoid throwing straw from him. "What are you doing here? Not interested in following the party ahead?"

Kord shook weakly.

"ridiculous. How could they possibly party so, while soon we would have to face death? They should have thought, how to survive the lizard monsters and evil witches who became its leader, when the war tomorrow goes on."

In his pair of eyes flanked by two puffed cheeks, pooled clear teardrops. I opened the door and sat down next to him. Silently for a moment looked at the static flame before, from the small lanterns bouncing against the wooden walls.

"Kord," he called me, "they're not ridiculous. However, I believe the party was held so that I could momentarily forget the fear that would come soon. Preparation was all done as best as possible. Just wait until dawn."

"But ... but ... but .. well, at least they can think together, who knows if they can come up with an idea to win this war."

"What kind of idea? We are outnumbered and outnumbered. It can only depend on the strength of the two of them." I looked at Woofy who was rolling Shege in his arms. Fall asleep.

"So .. are we going to die?" He cupped his face with both hands. Crying as much.

I patted and grabbed Kord's stocky shoulder. Trying to strengthen. Understand that he is very scared.

"Relax, buddy. We'll do everything we can to keep the lizards from eating your fatty savory meat."

Kord turned his head with glaring eyes that were still streaming with tears. "Damn you! I'm freaked out and you're hurting me!"

I laughed at his reaction. Rewarding a vexed punch on the shoulder.

"Quiet, Dude. Before leaving, Artapatu gave me a secret weapon. I'm sure I can help us in the fight later"

"Huh? What secret weapon?"

I developed a wide smile that kept being stared at with sparkling eyes by Kord. Not that I meant lingering for the sake of the drama's effects, but honestly I was confused as to what to say. Gaia stone given by Artapatu, I do not know how to use it.

Ah, I should have remembered asking Artapatu for his manual book.

"Hey, tell me what weapon is that?" insist Kord.

"This weapon is top secret, pal. That's why I can't tell you," I replied.

"Damn it! Then why do you want to tell me!?"

"Forget it, you'll see for yourself. Now there's something more important for me to ask you."

Kord's expression instantly changed drastically. His mouth was wide open, with his forehead wrinkled a lot. Maybe he was upset that his curiosity was unanswered, but also interested in the important question I said.

"Then what do you want to ask?"

"Well, look. When we left the cave on Shege and Woofy, what did you feel?"

"Huh? Meanin? Yes horrified, shivering from the cold, and dizzy. It's hardly any different from when we were carried away flying in the castle."

I patted him on the shoulder with both hands. "Not feeling warm and calm?" I asked without letting go of a smile.

"Yes, no. Hey, what does that question mean?"

"Just calm down, you'll know." Soon I move. Woofy and Shege. No matter if Kord is trying to spill emotions, because the question is again not answered.

But yeah, that's it. He won't understand either. After all, now I get one thought, which I currently have to test immediately. About Woofy and Shege.
