The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 112's

"The prince fled, Goddess!" said a soldier. Come hastily and rest before Goddess Pharos. He reported this incident to Pharos.

"What about the girl?" ask Goddess Pharos.

"They are not in place either. Gordon's missing, too. It seems like he left with the prince," he replied.

With a flick of his hand, Dewi Pharos asked the soldier who reported it to him to leave. Then Goddess Pharos glanced at Crypto.

"I will look for it now" said Crypto who understood the glance Dewi Pharos.

"No need—" said Dewi Pharos.

"I mean Goddess?"

"You'll find it on the hill of Pharos. Are they still in the palace?"

"That means they're not far?"

"Yes" answered Dewi Pharos. "The young prince was indeed difficult to manage. His will to disobey me is simply unbearable. Lausius is selfish."

Seeing Dewi Pharos shaking his head, Crypto was tired of thinking about Sean. Really that kid is hard to manage and stubborn, even he doesn't care about himself.

Crypto is worried about Sean, especially if Sean is desperate to leave the Pharos valley in a state of bare chest. Outside of the eternal snowfall valley, there would be no legend that the Pharos valley was not snowed. This place always snows at any time, it could be cold to death Sean if still on his ego.

Crypto recall. He forgot to leave the clothes for Sean. Not intending to argue with Sean, he thought leaving Sean could make the boy reflect back on his stubbornness. Crypto did not expect, Sean really did an unexpected action.

"That stubborn child will be troublesome!" gumam Crypto is slow.

The road settles, taking Sean to a door—maybe the exit. Although managed to avoid the soldiers who went back and forth in the hallway of the palace of the Pharos valley, but leaving the palace of Pharos is not an easy matter.

The fear of being caught because he wanted to run away, made Sean's body nervous. Moreover, the light in his body did not want to disappear. But luckily, the light in his body was not messing up. Or Sean will end up in a dark room with Ligong.

The light dimmed after the annoyance Sean wanted to eliminate the shining mark was subsiding. Sean did not really think about how to eliminate the light even though Sean had felt overwhelmed. Miraculously, by itself, the light attached to it in Sean's birthmark slowly dimmed.

Sean is at the big door. Sean felt the surface of the door, and what Sean felt was a stone. That means not all of these places are made of steel and gold. That is, stone also becomes the material of this tightly closed door.

When Sean tried to open the door hook. How hard Sean pulled and pushed the door, still not open.

"I think the security in this place is very tight. To the extent that the door leaf is difficult to open." Jessica muttered softly in the midst of busyness Sean opened the door.

"There's definitely...... There must be a way to open the door. Just like when we came in. It must have a special code to open it." Sean watched the door made of stone.

There are usually surprises. Could it be that the door was jutting out? Or inside? Sean tried to guess, if the door is usually in the form of folding. Ancient people have known modern technology although not as sophisticated as in the era that Sean faced.

Sean thought, looking for an idea to get out of that place. The stone door was dark, there was no illumination. Sean looked around, oh—Sean found it!

"I found it" Sean said as he looked around. Near the door, there was a pedal. Sean pulled the Knot-like pedal of the plane, and....... SRUK...... The stone door opened upwards.

"Wow!! You're a real genius, Sean," said Jessica.

Sean snorted, rubbing a thumb on his nose. "Can I count on it now?"

"Very well!" sahut Gordon's. He clutched Sean's shoulder tightly, then became the first one to come out.

"You besides being handsome, your genius can't be doubted" Jessica said in praise. The girl was shy cat, while dealing with Sean.

"The way to open the door is very easy. You don't have to come up with the whole idea to find that door. Just glance around, then..... You can find him!!" said Sean who was expert in opening the door.

"Kids!! You intend to leave this valley or you still want to be inside!" scold Gordon from the outside.

Sean nodded. "Let me say goodbye to this place of hell!" sean from within.

Sean pinched his mouth. Like saying something, maybe magic or strange spells. Sean only boasted, he did not understand how to learn the strange ritual. Maybe his mouth cursed this place. Only Sean knew what he was saying without that voice.

When he finished what he said.

Sean caught up with Gordon and Jessica who were already standing waiting for him outside. Ligong, the big black tiger was not ceaselessly stuck to Sean's body.

The weather outside was the same as in the valley before as they fell in the thick piles of snow. The thick snow still covered the ground was even still descending from the sky.

"Sean, aren't you wearing any clothes? Don't you feel cold!" Jessica noticed. He realized that his friend was no longer wearing a breastplate. Sean's entire upper body was exposed, making Jessica tempted. Really, in a state of bare-chested, Sean is very charming.

"I don't feel cold" replied Sean. "I can survive without clothes at this time. Just so we can leave this hell place."

"Oh, this... I don't even know why" Sean replied. "And, this is Ligong. My new friend."

"Li—ligong?"

Sean nodded. "I got it in that dark room. Not bad, she's cute when she's my new friend."

Jessica gaped, to be honest, she was inexhaustible. Sean always makes new friends at unusual times. "You're sure he'll be your new friend?"

"He's submissive. Much tighter than the cat you keep at home!" sean replied relaxed.

"But, Sean. You see! He's so creepy!" jessica said again. He was afraid when the creature looked at him like he did not like, even growling as if angry.

"Ah, stop. Forgetit. We're leaving now, or a blizzard is about to hit." Sean switched, passing away leaving the door open wide.

Actually, Jessica was a little doubtful about Sean. The mark on his glowing body, he was strong in resisting the coldness of the snow. Being able to fight in difficult situations, all of that made Jessica wonder. Is Sean the kid he knows or..... Sean is not a teenager who has been friends with him. It could be, Sean who is in front of Jessica is another Sean, not Sean who is usually introverted. Jessica thought, that's what she faced when she saw Sean's strangeness.

Jessica pinched her skin, making sure she wasn't dreaming. "real. But why is Sean always weird? That mark. Colour. Where'd he get it?"

"Don't stick around there, son, if you don't want to be locked up in that little room anymore." The gordon, a few metres away, rebuked the bewildered Jessica. The girl had not yet moved from her original place.

After walking for a few meters, Jessica hesitated at Sean, bringing her mouth up to ask. "Seans. Since when did you get that glowing sign?"

Sean looked. "Why are you suddenly asking like that?"

"I just want to know??"

Hmphc..... Sean tried to remember. In his memory, the mark had been there since he was a child. That kind of birthmark was never Sean horrendous. "Since birth this sign has been there. Just a regular glowing birthmark. Nothing special."

"Are you sure that's a regular birthmark?"

"Sure," Sean replied. "Maybe this is an effect because I once touched a glowing butterfly in the forest...... Do you remember that shining forest? It's probably where I got it." Sean explained in detail. He remembered, the last time it was how he felt. Perhaps, because it had touched a butterfly at night that day, which made its birthmark luminous.

Hearing Sean's story, Jessica glanced at the black Godam man. And, yeah. Gordon just shrugged his shoulders, a sign that he didn't understand anything about the question from the girl's glance.

Jessica is worried. He was afraid that the shining birthmark on Sean's body was a disaster.

****

Walking all night, taking those footsteps to a hill, at the end of a valley. They entered the forest—which borders the snowy place.

"We stopped at the big tree there. Really, I'm tired!" jessica who was holding back pain in her knee. His feet were heavy because they walked all night.

"Do you need to be on papah?" Sean offers services. He prepared his back for Jessica. A signal that Sean is going to carry her.

"No need," Jessica replied. "I can still walk. Even if my legs feel like they're getting pulled out."

"You sure?"

Jessica nodded, then again forced her way up the hillside.

Sean saw the girl already walking somewhat limped over the thick snow.

Gordon walked back to Jessica. His body felt almost frozen all night across this falling snow. He had time to pat Sean on the shoulder, maybe encouraging Sean to continue the journey.

Ligong, the black tiger who had left Pharos' palace, stroked his head on Sean's back. It seems Ligong is on par with Gordon, wanting Sean to continue on the road.

Sean looked at the black tiger's face, then said. "You tired too?"

Ligong kept stroking his head on Sean's back. Maybe he hinted that he was tired, just like Sean said.

"All right!! All righty!! We continue the journey upwards. You can rest later" said Sean, who understands Ligong sign language.

When he arrived at the top of the hill, Sean had imagined he would want to rest for a while. Moreover, the sun somewhat warms in the cold snow. Surely the fatigue of the night can be lost if lying under the tree.

When it was at the top of the hill, Sean was suddenly surprised. Crypto and a few soldiers were already in front of them.

"You!" shouts Sean. "When did you get here?" tanyanya.

Jessica and Gordon shrugged, they also did not know that Crypto was in front of them.

"So soon he arrived before me." Sean mumbled slowly. Mind wondering? How could Crypto have arrived on the hill faster than him.
