The Adventure of the Light-Bearer

CH. 25 - High Mage's Inheritance

"Awaru Levin!" ramon shouted while hitting a wooden stick into Levin's head and making a loud 'Tokk' sound. Levin woke up and held his clenched hand up.

"Can you wake me up in a more humane way old man?" he shouted, his left hand stroking his head.

"I was yelling, but you didn't wake up. It seems you are so exhausted that you sleep like a sloth hypnotized by a lottery man" Ramon said with a laugh.

Levin's eyes then looked out, the stone door that was closed yesterday was now open, the door was attached to the wall next to it and there was a shining rune letter above it, this magic place made him unable to think logically.

The light of the dawn sun shone on the place. The sound of crickets is replaced by the sound of roosters replying to each other. A cold wind pierced into Levin's thin little body, piercing through his red clothes due to the blood spatter at the headquarters of the trolls yesterday.

Ramon stepped onto the table and sat down. "So" he said, looking at Levin, who was hugging him in the cold. "Now I will tell you the fate of your sister and sister. Your sister Wander now lives with your sister Ally. They were brought by the prince of Wimara named Baron to his kingdom. You know, I told him to kidnap you in that slave prison because he's your brother Ally's life partner. I read Akemon's book here, and found a book that learned about divination magic. I studied it and foretold that my son Ally would have the soul mate of the son of the king of Wimara, the Baron. I told him that fate, and used it to bring you to me. It wasn't hard to make her believe my prophecy, she had an open mind and a clean heart. He was also a strong and agile warrior, having once defeated ten adults in a sword war during training, I know the ins and outs of that person. So now, you don't have to worry about your brother and sister, because now they're in the right hands. Focus on saving the world, one or two people are not very important compared to all living things on this planet" said Ramon, Levin cut it off before he would continue to talk.

"Then they live happily. They are not restrained by evil rules anymore, they will not be tortured and starve again, they have their bodies for themselves now. Now I'm happy" Levin said with a shivering smile. Then Ramon also smiled, he observed Levin's body shaking in the cold, he then looked at his clothes which looked very pitiful.

"I don't know what happened to you, my son. But it looks like you've slaughtered so many creatures that you're covered in these blood. But keep your story to yourself, I'll bring you old Akemon's clothes" said Ramon walking towards his room. He returned and brought a pair of clothes and an iron armor that looked still shiny without any scratches or rust. Levin backed away in shock.

"This is Akemon's clothing. I don't know why these clothes are still intact and good after all these years of being left behind, all I know is that these clothes don't contain any magic, it might have been made by a professional dressmaker specifically for a great magician like Akemon" Ramon said as he flipped through the clothes observing him. Levin cut the conversation.

"Does the witch's clothes really look like that? The clothes were more like noble clothes, I had seen such a type of clothing when prince Lomar checked the port at Crescabes back then. You know, I'd be the center of attention if I wore that shirt." Levin complained, Ramon shook his head sadly.

"But you'll be the center of attention too if you come out dressed like that. Come on Sagmorat, don't be like a whining baby when his parents put clothes on him. That shirt will be covered in armor anyway, right? Look at this iron, Mythril! You won't be able to find it even if you go to the far end of the continent" Ramon said, shaking off the clothes and armor. Levin looked left-right.

"You want me to change my clothes here now? Is there no place that gives me a little privacy?" levin asked, Ramon pointed out.

"There was nobody on the beach. Take a shower and change your clothes. You don't have much free time before noon, so take your time and come back to me before you leave" Ramon said as he walked into his room, Levin held him back.

"Wait on! I need you to tell me some other things. You said that the seven crystal pieces were in the tomb of the demon defeated by the god Calemia. But I only saw a tomb, and only encountered one demon spirit in the tomb. Where are the other tombs? Did you know that?" levin asked, Ramon frowned.

"The tomb here is just a symbolism for a place to rest, Levin. The tombs of the demons were the crystals themselves, their spirits resting there. I don't know why the god Calemia put him in different places, maybe you'll find out later after you get those crystals, which I obviously don't know much about. Is there anything else you want to ask?" ramon asked, Levin nodded.

"Yes, I want you to teleport my friend Clea whom I told you about yesterday. He is now in a tavern in a village I don't know his name. All I know is the lake of Dalas, the village is located nearby. You can do that, right?" pinta Levin, Ramon for a second, then shook his head.

"It will take some time before finding his energy with my ESP. Is he a boy or a girl?" Levin answered. "Woman" he said, Ramon raised his eyebrows.

"Oh yeah? You're... Staying in a room with that woman at a tavern? You dare to be young?" ramon said with a mischievous smile, Levin waved his hand and shook his head.

"Based on parents, his job is talking about people's business, shoo shoo! go there!" levin said annoyed, he stood up and stretched his body, while Ramon grinned his teeth mocking and went into his room with the bow, looking at the sneaky faces at a glance, he was thinking of something the smell of fish. Levin ignored him and went out.

The place was located on top of the mountain, so Levin had to try to get down first to go to the beach. He looked down, there were no stairs there, only a steep descent, it took him a while to come down safely. Levin then put on the armor temporarily in order not to be too hard to get down, he put his clothes on his shoulders and went down carefully.

His hands fumbled at the rock on his edge. His head is still traumatized to the heights of yesterday's troll incident. He then managed to come down and step on the grass with his shoes. He took a breath while closing his eyes, his body refreshed. He then ran forward towards the shore, he undressed and plunged into the sea.

His body shuddered in coldness as he submerged himself in that calm sea. He was shivering, his teeth were colliding, he should have been bathing in the river rather than in the cold sea, but what could be done, he didn't know where the nearest river was.

Levin sat naked drowning himself in the sea whose waves were not too heavy. His eyes looked at the vast and distant sea in front of him. He looked towards the moon that was still visible that morning with his slightly narrow green eyes.

"A.. Oh, my God" said someone behind Levin. Levin was shocked by the sound and looked back quickly. He looked at Clea, lying down holding her head. Clea then looked towards Levin who was bathing in the sea, fortunately his body was covered with sea water. While Levin screamed panic.

"Hey you! Don't look! Pe.. Go to the forest for a minute!" levin shouted while swinging his hands away Clea. Clea looked at Levin's clothes lying around and realized that Levin was naked.

"Ke.. Why am I here? Where'sme? You kidnapped me, didn't you? And.. Why are you naked at sea this early? Don't-don't.." Clea's face then turned red, she clenched her hands and wildly looked for a stone. Levin was panicking, he was shaking his two stairs forward.

"Ti.. Nah! It's a long female story, come on, let's go first, I'll explain!" levin shouted, while Clea raised and threw the mythril armor at Levin in annoyance.

"Fuck you Ramon! Why did you teleport him here? You old man smells of fish! Cursed are you ungodly old man!" levin shouted annoyedly in his heart. He then brought the armor Clea threw and put it upside down, he put his foot into the hole he was supposed to wear for his hand, while underneath it was hollow.

Levin had no other choice but to run towards his clothes with only the armor covered. He ran like a crab, both of his hands holding the armor so as not to sag and both of his supine legs swinging crazily to the left right. Clea who was frowning looking for things to throw and then panicked to see Levin who ran towards him silly like that, she put her hands on cheeks shouting and went towards the forest.

"Damn it, what do you think I'm going to do?" levin said in a hurry to put on his clothes.
