Skeleton Systems

48.in the wake of the attack

after walking out of the Xanders treatment tent then started walking towards the place where Nias tent was to talk to him for a while.

after walking past the other tents a while later the xanders were right in front of the tent owned by Nias, then he began to walk closer to the tent as expected Xanders was prevented by the two guards who were standing guard in front of the tent Nias.

the two guards began to cross his long spear and looked at his ferocious face while saying

"wait! what's the need here? if you are not interested, you are prohibited from entering the tent belonging to the great lord and also to enter the tent of the great master you need a permit from-".

while the guard was still explaining his talk, the xanders cut the conversation and handed the license he got from Emily to the guard.

"this".he said by thrusting his hand straight at the guard by holding a white letter.

"huh?". said the guard with a confused face and received the letter and began reading it, but.

"sorry if you can wait for a while, actually I can't read, hehe so this letter I will give directly to the great master". he said with a smiling face and scratched his head that was not itchy.

"yes, no problem". she replied with a flat face.

in the kingdom of Barsoom as well as from other kingdoms, most of the common people or ordinary people almost all the population except the nobles or the royal family. they cannot read or write because the price of a book or a book is very expensive there, so the common people most of them prefer to work as royal soldiers or paid guards.

(for those who do not know the guards who are paid for their work like the two guards, they work as guards who guard a noble and a merchant with an average salary, arguably exceeding ordinary work because the work is sometimes also threatening their lives)

and for the nobility and the royal family, most of them have been taught by their families since childhood, namely through hiring a private teacher or studying at a royal academy, the reason was simple because if one of their families could not read or write it could tarnish the good name of their noble family.

back to story~

after the two of them heard the xanders say one of them started talking to him again in a more polite tone.

"sorry sir, can you name your name first.

xanders nodded his head and said

"Anders". he answered briefly.

after that one of the guards began to enter Nias' tent, after a few minutes one of the guards began to come out and immediately told Xanders to enter, because the great master was waiting for him.

xanders then nodded his head and walked into the tent, after entering the tent.in the tent there was a spacious and neat room, and, there xanders looked at a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties who was sitting reading and flipping through a paper or letter on his desk.

that person he who is none other than Nias a great merchant of the kingdom of Barsoom, is, after someone entered his tent, Nias stopped flipping through the paper on his desk and began to look at the person entering his room.

Nias then stood up from his chair and offered xanders to sit down and said

"long time no see Mr. Anders. emm.. like not yes we just did not meet last time last day before there was an attack right? haha".he said with a laugh

xanders nodded his head in response to the offer and he began to walk forward to the chair in front of the table, then he began to slowly pull his chair back and sit there, then he began to pull back, Nias did too, after which xanders said.

"as you said Mr. Nias, we did not meet again after you passed out in your chariot".

Nias who heard the words of the xanders began to chuckle a little and was embarrassed because he remembered himself who had suddenly fainted on his horse carriage, his own, Nias did not know it because he fainted because of the actions of one of the subordinates of xanders.

"hehe Please don't tell anyone Mr. Anders, it's a shame". Nias said as she scratched her non-itchy head after which Nias began to look at the xanders with a serious face.

"sir Anders straight to the point, what purpose did you come here for.

xanders then began to sigh to her and said

"huh, I'm here just to make sure.do you know who the people who attacked you earlier.

Nias just shook his head and answered the xanders question

"i don't know it either, but I'm like he's seen those guys, too, the clothes that people wore were black and usually those clothes were only used by the assassin from the organization called Blackhat.

but that's just my own thinking, but if it's true it means the Blackhat organization has already started to move to hunt down other major traders including me.

xanders then nodded his head and his hands began to hold his chin while thinking

"as is true, but why would they attack a great merchant? what exactly is the purpose? damn the insects huh". said xanders in his heart

after thinking about it but still not knowing the intentions of those people in black, the xanders started to open his conversation and said

Nias then began to smile at Xanders himself and began to speak

"as you may think, Lord Anders, we as great merchants have always given full support to the kingdom such as providing a supply of food and weapons to the kingdom.

and they Blackhat organization must have known it so they will soon kill us the great merchants who they must have planned to destroy the great foundation of Barsoom kingdom first". answer Nias at length

xanders heard Nias' words and nodded his head occasionally.

"as it is yes, so the great merchants are very important to a kingdom, interesting".

xanders and Nias, they both ended up talking for a very long time about the workings and system of a kingdom.

...

while in the place of an old building, in an underground.

there is a spacious room and a little there is lighting can be quite dark, dark, in the middle of the room there was a long table and a chair that lined and faced each other following the length of the table it was commonly used for meetings by the supreme command of the Blackhat organization.

the highest command in the Blackhat organization has a higher position than other positions except the higher-ups of the Blackhat organization so it can be said that the Supreme Command has a superior that is the top of the organization and the higher-ups of the organization have a superior that is the leader of the organization.

and right on the table it looks there are about three people who are occupying their seats each, respectively,

the atmosphere there felt heavy and quiet

then one of the three supreme commandos began to break the silence by starting to open the conversation.

"so what was the plan before?". he said in a heavy tone.

then one of the supreme commandos began to answer

"yes yes yes the previous plan failed, said the people who managed to survive the previous plan, all of them who were killed were slaughtered to the ground by a monster".

then the other supreme commando replied

"cheek, that might just be the reason of those useless people to save themselves!".

"that is impossible, because the assassin belonging to the organization will never escape from the mission and always successfully complete the mission even though it is very difficult at all".

"really, it is true that what the assassins said was true that the Nias great merchant nurturing a powerful monster must be troublesome.

"then leave that duty to me, I will kill all those rich people!". replied someone in a high tone.

"no!, the three of us are going to attack the great merchant simultaneously, to prepare for his worst possibility we will need the help of the higher-ups of the organization.

"agree, agree I agree". replied from someone in a relaxed tone

"what! don't joke I'm enough myself!". replied someone in a high tone

"hush! follow the rules of the organization do not be rash, at that time there was already one of the higher-ups of the organization who died from someone who was very strong, so follow the rules first.

"clean, boring!". replied from someone with a high tone.

then a heavy-pitched person started to stand up from his chair and said out loud

"alright! we will begin carrying out his plan seven days from now.

"yes!" say someone with a high tone

"okay okay". said someone in a relaxed tone

"good" said their subordinates in unison.
