Geck, tok, tok.
The sound of a wooden door knocked by Namila.
A middle-aged man wearing a jacket opened the door. His face looked lazy despite the strong whiskers. On his head was a conical hat. His skin looked white, there was barely any blood flowing.
Seeing two teenagers who did not look cold, certainly made him surprised and astonished. The temperature in this area is very cold, even he has not been able to adapt for many years. In addition, the colder the day and the lack of sunlight adds to the difficulty of living.
The man's judgment was so missed, namila and simo were cold, it was just that they didn't seem like it.
Moreover, those who were dressed strangely also attracted him. It's a pity that he won't ask that. Instead he said, “go, I don't accept guests here.” His tone was obviously lazy.
Before the man shut the door, Namila stopped him, then said, “lord, let us rest for a while to restore the condition of our bodies. We no longer know where to go. Everything drove us away like animals.” The tone is a little cold.
The man looked at simo and namila from top to bottom. Of course because they were strange and had him expelled from other places, he did the same.
But he began to think, if he was like that, and no one helped him, wouldn't that be so bad?
“well, just one day.”
“Good sir.” Answer namila cheerfully.
...****************...
“where are you from?” ask the man who is sitting in the chair. Not far from him was a still burning fireplace. His voice clashed with the sound of a burning fire.
Around him were ancient bookshelves, it seemed like he liked to read. When simo and namila entered, they could not help but be amazed at the sight of the books. This was the first time they had seen such a large bookshelf inside the house. Their eyes were looking for something that interested them. Of course the smell of the book was no less to make them interested.
They are not like the books they always see in the library. Books are like ancient and unique books.
After introducing themselves, simo and namila were given to warm themselves near the fireplace. The man noticed simo and namila were cold when talking for longer.
They sat with their knees hugged. Although simo was a fire user, he preferred not to use it because it would drain his energy, hence he hugged his knees tightly and approached himself Some time near the fireplace.
The sword that simo carried had to be released to be confiscated because the man might be afraid simo will be all kinds. This is considered reasonable, because everyone will do it just in case. Therefore, he gave sincerely, but on condition that he would take it back after he decided he would leave.
The man with his lazy face accepted it.
“we are from empire snow mountain.” Answer namila.
Hearing that, the man kept silent, thought about the name and searched for it. Before, he had forgotten to ask the area where they came from.
“it looks like a far away place. Can you tell me about that place?” now his face still looked lazy, but his tone was a bit excited to sound.
Namila also told me everything about where she lived. This girl was so excited to tell me everything. His face and tone were very excited. He told from the climate, places to visit, the state of the population, and the government system also did not forget he told me.
Simo and the man were excited to hear that, this was especially the case for the man who had never heard of the place.he looked extremely excited from behind that lazy, white face.
“it looks like the place you were born is indeed amazing.” The man said as he walked, and approached the bookshelf near his chair.
Simo and Namila's faces followed the man's direction. The man picked up the thick book, he blew the dust off, then sat back down.
This man seems to suspect Simo and Namila are lost, but they are actually in Azka's dreamland.
Simo and Namila looked confused by the man in front of them. In addition, they are also confused by the existence of residents here who like not knowing below themselves are in the Azka dreamland.
After a while browsing through the book, the man raised his face. “oh, yes, my name is Pietro, just call uncle Pietro.” He then returned to the page without waiting for the answer of simo and namila.
Seeing that Pietro was serious about his book, Simo took his time to look around again. He is still interested in this house. Although it has two floors and is made of wood, simo is very interested in it, for him this house is unique and has its own art.
Since there was no work, namila patted simo on the shoulder, then whispered, “simo, how long will we be here?”
“we will go in tomorrow day only. Did you forget to say? After that, we will devise a plan to kill him. Although he might know all the things that happened here, he would not be able to possibly read minds, and things that were not said, so, I will use a technique to do it.”
Namila nodded. “quickly think, I can't stand cold temperatures like this. But, by the way why are you cold, even though the fire controller?”
“i don't use it. Although the fire will make my body hotter, the energy spent is very much. I do not want if Azka will appear suddenly when I have no more power.”
“So, you suggested it?”
Simo nodded.
When they finished talking, Pietro suddenly closed his book. He then looked towards simo and namila with a probing gaze.
Realizing they are in such a face, they try to stay calm and look mediocre. Although they knew Pietro was not a strong man, they could not conclude it too early. Because, there may be hidden forces in his body or there are other forces that are not simo and namila feel.
After observing for a while, Pietro sighed, then said, “do not haphazardly call it.”
“meaning uncle, Azka?”
Suddenly a sharp look led to namila. He quickly apologized and slightly lowered his head.
Looking at Pietro's expression like that, it came up regarding some conjecture in simo's mind. He quickly asked, “what does uncle know?”
Pietro let out a long sigh, he then went to the bookshelf again saying, “certainly, who does not know him.” Pietro searched for books. “dia is the ruler here and one of the most forbidden people to call her. And you guys certainly know about that right?”
Simo and Namila start speculating about it.
“Read book...”
Before finally finishing his words, the sound of the door on the knock interjected.
“Uncle, let me just.” Namila.
“all right, don't take long. And just say you're my adopted son.”
Namila nodded.
When he opened the door, a girl fell straight ahead. He wears a thick jacket with a hat that covers his hair.
