The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 141

“Hahaha..... I told you already. Lausius was not dead. He is still alive, he is currently still a mystery to me.”

Elius stood in front of his throne. That happiness made Elius forget everything. Lausius, he was a blessing that could not be taken for granted. Meanwhile, Nekabudzer seems to remain authoritative. Folding one of his hands behind him, he turned his back on Elius.

No matter the colleague was happy, Nekabudzer remained wise behind his bad intentions.

Uli, downcast. He still did not dare to look at his master. Uli was a little awkward if he was near those two people.

“You must not be pleased first Elius. Even to this day, none of us can catch him. He is very agile, different from other Lausius.”

“Hahaha... Nekabudzer still thinks of humbling me. If it wasn't because I didn't understand it less, how could he possibly escape the hands of the strongest man in this land. The kid was too dreamy.”

“You're still cocky Elius,” ledek Nekabudzer. “You forgot, he is currently still a hunt for many people. Your enemy is not one, but many. You don't forget the most important part in the big battle later.”

“You just calm down. I will never forget those who want to compete with me.”

Elius knew about this. However, to him, that young Lausius should still belong to him. He felt superior among all the strongest people in this land of prosperity.

According to Elius, no one can defeat him. However, he had once been beaten back by a demon god. That's the exception, Elius is just trying to give up. He was satisfied to win, so losing once was not Maslaah for him.

“You worry too much about me. Let's see if the young Lausius is within my grasp. So I assure you, all the inhabitants of this land of heaven are subject to me. I'll make sure it happens. One more step, I will become the strongest knight in Saranjana city. Hahaha.”

Nekabudzer shook his head, Elius' ambition was too far off. Like grabbing a needle in a haystack. It was as if he was looking for God, but it would not work. Its essence to achieve success, not balanced with a good strategy. He was always rash, Nekabudzer at all times became his reminder.

“Uli,” Ogre Elius. Now Elius's petty face, start to act. “Go to the lake of death. I want you to get word out about Lausius there.”

“Master. Maxs..... Sud Tuan?”

Uli hesitated a bit, as Elius said coldly to him. Moreover, the order could not be denied, Uli was afraid to refute it.

“I want you there. I want you to get the answer to the boy's whereabouts. This time, you don't disappoint me.”

“Master, I...”.

“You have not thanked me, for freeing you from the clutches of that voracious Gondola. Better, you understand this.”

Oh, unfortunately for Uli. He knew, thanks to him earlier he could escape from the savage Gondola meal. In fact, Uli had nothing to do with any of this. He who ruled Uli to the Gondola, Uli should not have to thank him.

“Good Sir. I'll execute Lord Agung's orders.”

“Good. You are truly a loyal servant.”

Inevitably, Uli must obey the will of Elius. Although heavy heart, but there is no choice for Uli. He could only do this, the rest had not dared Uli to refute him.

Elius smiled as if he were slanted, wry as the most sour fruit. Uli was gone, and it felt lucky for Elius to have such a loyal following as that woman.

“You are very manipulative,” Nekabudzer said offending—when Uli was no longer at Elius's great altar. “You've always ruled him all you want. Is this how you treated her all this time.”

Elius smiled with a faint smile.

“That's how I make use of chess pieces.”

“Until when will you use it?”

“Entah,” reply Elius relaxed. Both his shoulders were raised, indicating he had not yet confirmed when Elius would release Uli. “If I have reached my destination. I'll make sure he's free. But for now not. I still need him. Until everything becomes reality.”

“Ckck.... You've been using him for years. You really are a heartless demon.”

Elius doesn't care. He just wants to do something that he thinks is right— without waiting for others to judge him. Nekabudzer was right, he was a heartless demon. As long as he had not gathered the soul of the young Lausius, Elius would not stop.

For him, all his goals must be achieved. At any rate, even if he had to sacrifice his soul even though—Elius was willing to do it.

“You don't have to teach about right and wrong. We are the same, need him.”

Elius looked at the sky outside. The bright atmosphere will not change his will. Nekabudzer noticed the look on his face, he remained on this grand ambition.

“You won't stop if you don't get that Lausius. I hope, this is the best way,” murmured Elius quietly.

Sean arrives at a kanebo, painted white. Around the kanebo, there was a towering building.

Then, there was a golden building, forming a fortress. There's a river underneath. Little lifeboat, there too. Everything's gold, Sean no wonder.

Sean knew this news. The golden tributary of Mosapus, Sean has now reached the lungs of the center of civilization in this city.

“But, by the way. Why is this place so quiet. There are no guards or guards around here. Where'd they. And..... Residents, why is there no one here. Where are they all?”

Now Sean's astonished. Because, Sean did not see any people who passed by in this magnificent building. The building that Sean has been through, Sean examined and Sean value the meaning of the artwork from the masterpiece here. As if the path had been destined to its destination.

The residents, or whoever it is who often go back and forth. Sean didn't find it. Strange, of course. There were only a few soldiers that Sean saw, that was all. After that, Sean no longer saw anyone, except Ligong.

“It is impossible if a place as beautiful as this paradise, no inhabitants. Feels weird. What's possible, if they don't live here. Or indeed basically, this place has no residents at all?”

I don't know, Sean doesn't know why this happened.

Sean glanced here and there, looking for anyone he could meet. But—esnil.

“What is possible, because this foggy cloud— makes people invisible. Or, indeed I have not seen anyone here since.”

I don't know, Sean was confused. Sean has given up. Sean was on the doorstep to the top of the building. The highest palace, among all the buildings covered by clouds.

There, the floor is shiny gold. Then, a slight cloud covered the highest peak of the tower. And Sean is sure, the big palace steps dozens of it. It was the highest peak of the building that stood in this sky.

I don't know how many times Sean was amazed, Sean forgot. Stupid Sean, this enthusiastic he wanted to praise the best architectural masterpiece he had ever seen. Admired in this place, Sean admits he is satisfied to see it. The maestro who made such a powerful masterpiece like this, was definitely not an indiscriminate person.

When Sean wants to go to the top of the gold-plated palace. Luxury is starting to feel.

Pillars of support, standing firmly on the right and left side of the stairs. There were many birds of heaven passing over the golden dome, there was also a huge statue standing as if welcoming anyone who came. Then, along the stairs, on the red carpet.

Stretching from top to bottom, Sean felt like a great guest. Leaving his legs, Sean did not mind if he had to be caught by the soldiers who were on guard. Sean seemed to forget himself if he had seen the world like this fairyland.

When he got up there, the gold-carved door leaf suddenly opened. Oh, Sean was scared. But, thankfully. There's nobody there. Sean scrunched his forehead.

“Hei. Are we being welcomed to go inside?”

†††††

Jessica felt her heart beat was about to explode. The girl was like being interrogated, but not to make herself scared half to death.

Cold sweat has emerged from behind the pores. Occasionally Jessica glanced at the grand master in front of her.

“Is he the owner of a place this grand?” mumbling Jessica slowly.

Crypto and Gordon seemed to dare not look at the old man. Men with clothes, which Jessica guessed was very expensive. From the cotton, there was a gold embroidery on the edge of the seams of his clothes.

He's not wearing a crown, just a hair-binding nut. Her flesh enveloped the head, the white color matched the appearance of the old man.

And, Jessica knows.  His name is Shutanhamun. Lord Shutanhamun, he was previously told by Crypto and Gordon before entering this gilded palace.

While inside the palace was magnificent and beautiful, all sparkling. Just this time Jessica saw there was a place that was unrivalled in terms of architecture.

The fire Phoenix bird became the epitome of heaven. Jessica saw it, there was a carving of the bird on the palace wall of the great Lord Shutanhamun.

And, Jessica asked a few times. “Am I dead. Am I in heaven?”

The question was made to Gordon and Crypto before entering this place. But baby, the truth is, he's not dead. Jessica was in an unusual place.

“Eh..... Did you come here looking for your friend who disappeared?”

“Did he ask me?”

Jessica has been down since. He followed the Crypto and Gordon styles, bowed obediently. The old man in front of Jessica had not asked them to raise their heads, so why was Jessica bowed obediently.

Hearing the old man's words, Jessica knew, she must have told him.

“True Lord great. I'm looking for my friend, Eed,” Jessica replied lowering her voice.

And this was her first time for Jessica, saying meekly. Previously, he had always said in a somewhat cold tone.

The old man sitting on his throne, smiled sweetly. A little girl, she had only seen him for the first time since thousands of years ago.

This old man remembered, he had a daughter. It seemed, Shutanhamun wanted to go back to that time when he saw Jessica.

“Bring the boy here. It's time he met his friend.”

This old man reigned—to the bodyguards standing along the altar carpeted in red.

Soldiers, they look dashing. With a hat made of iron, then there was a spear in hand. Jessica once argued that they were ancient Roman soldiers. Very similar, really. Jessica felt that they were soldiers.

“Nak. Did you come here just looking for your friend?”

Back, the wise old man before Jessica asked. Jessica nodded immediately.

“True Lord great. She's the reason I can get into this place.”

“Alright then. You'll get it in a minute.”

†††††

Jessica looked back, when there was a loud bang. The sound of many feet walking towards them.

“Jessica!”

“Eed!”

Jessica sumringah happy. From behind him, the face he had missed the most all this time now appeared before him.

“You...”.

Jessica hugged Edward, not knowing. That happy feeling is now rising. Unbelieving, Eed is in front of him now.

“You.... You're okay, aren't you?” ask Jessica.

Edward nodded, full of haru. “I'm fine. You alone?”

“Sure I'm fine. I'm here looking for you.”

Edward looked at all the details of Jessica's body, he couldn't believe he could meet his friend here.

Right, it's Jessica. In contrast, now Jessica is looking at Edward's entire body.

“You..... Are you really Eed?” ask Jessica again. He made sure correctly who the charming teenage boy before him was.

Eed looks different, wearing clothes.... Made of iron. Eed is like, a knight. Jessica barely recognized him, she was very different from Eed whom Jessica had once known.

“True. I'm eed.” Edward nodded, it was nice to meet Jessica here. “But, by the way. Where's Sean? Why don't I see it with you and..... Who are they?”

Edward widened his gaze, looking at the people around Jessica. Crypto and Gordon, he's never seen one. Edward was curious about the charming man and the big-bodied man.

They came with Jessica. During his stay in this place, Eed never saw the trunk of his second nose.

“Crypto and Gordon. They were Sean's bodyguards before. But, I lost Sean while going out of the desert belonging to the snake woman,” explained Jessica.

“You mean...... Medusa?” guess Edward.

“Who else?”
