The Dragon Soul Forging

118. Passed

Riding the horse together, Budi and Raya headed for the exit of the city.

Raya did not dare to speak for fear Budi was angry with her due to the events that had just happened.

Until Budi started a conversation with the girl who was piggybacking behind him.

“You know if I won't take others' opinions of me seriously right?.”

Raya was shocked when she heard that. He recalled the events in the past where the world was still so peaceful without monsters.

Living in a village where many people live. Budi who is only a loner is often the subject of gossip from neighbors.

He was considered too suspicious because he never socialized. But despite the many bad rumors about him, Budi never took it seriously.

The young man only regarded all the words of the villagers as the last wind.

“So Brother Budi is not angry with me?.”

Raya remembers Budi's anger when in front of the Teapot Legion Guild headquarters.

“It was just acting.”

“Acting?.”

“Yes, at least once I want to let the people of the city know who I am.”

Budi found it too difficult if everyone continued to look at him lowly. He thinks it will only cause a lot of trouble.

“This is all because of Liliana who wants to keep the identity of her sister secret.”

True, why not many people who recognize Budi is the act of Liliana who does not want if everyone knows the source of weapons, potions and magic items in the city of Sawi.

But Budi did not think that the effect would be so far that many residents did not even know the existence of his Asongan store.

“I feel Yuki also took part in this conspiracy.”

Budi was worried that later both Yuki and Liliana finally decided to prevent ordinary citizens from going inside the wall where the shop was located.

If that happens, it will have a bad impact on your business.

Keep thinking about what the mayor and his business partners are planning. But all his worries disappeared after feeling Raya's hand embrace him from behind.

Budi could feel the chest of the girl pressing on his back as Raya tightened her embrace.

Pushrank is getting closer to the outer wall. Raya was surprised to see the tombok stretched wide as if without end.

“So that's what you made yesterday?.”

Raya asked so curiously.

“Ya, there you go.”

But I answered so briefly.

Although already know if the ability of Budi does not make sense, but Raya still felt very amazed when he saw what the young man could create.

Make a wall tens of meters high with a width of up to five hundred square kilometers in one night.

Something could only be done if one managed to collect seven dragon balls or ask on the magic lamp inhabited by the jinn.

But like Bondowoso who assisted the army of supernatural creatures when building a thousand temples, Budi also get help when building the big wall of the city of Sawi.

But not the help of supernatural beings but robot machines.

Seeing that no one was talking about the wall in the city, Raya concluded that the residents were still not aware of the existence of the wall.

“City residents will definitely be in an uproar after realizing that the entire city has been surrounded by walls that appear suddenly overnight.” said Raya.

“Surely it will happen, but Yuki and Liliana have already thought of a way to explain to the public.”

As public figures, the two girls could easily influence the people of Sawi city.

They can easily change something that cannot be in the minds of citizens into something commonplace.

“Yuki and Liliana will tell residents if the one who erected the wall is Rango.”

“Rango?.”

Raya is curious about what the two friends will plan on the identity of the second Budi.

Rango is very mysterious. He first appeared while confronting Genk the Daki who wanted to destroy the city of Sawi.

Then the emergence of the second Rango is during the first event of the system where he became the winner.

It was this victory that made him so famous.

They finally arrived in front of the entrance gate of the city. Budi and Raya were silent in front of the gate when the surveillance cameras noticed her.

The city gate would not open if one did not have the permission of the Mayor. The Kingdom that was the leader of the Teapot Legion Guild certainly had that permission.

While Budi does not need permission there once because he is the one who makes the gate as well as the master of artificial intelligence that controls the city gate.

[Izin left town confirmed]

As soon as Omega's voice was heard in the microphone, the thud began to open. A small tremor was felt as the huge gate began to move.

As soon as the gate opened, Budi immediately spurred his horse to leave the city. But he was surprised where in front of the gate there were already three cars waiting.

“Militer?.” Budi said when he saw two military trucks behind the SUV.

“I heard from Yuki if today there will be a Board member from us Toge who came to visit.”

Budi nodded small hearing the reply from Raya. He thought maybe the Council members came to the city of Sawi to apologize for yesterday's commotion because of the actions of the military forces.

Everyone from the group stared at the two who were starting to get closer. Until a man with a black finish and a red tie got out of the SUV followed by several men in military uniforms.

“.....”

Budi looked at one of the soldiers who came out of the car, two felt like they had seen the soldier before.

The military soldier also looked at Budi with an unpleasant look, it told Budi if he had met him before.

‘But I can't remember when.’

As long as Budi tried to recall when he had met the soldier, the man in black clothes started to approach him.

His smile looks friendly, very typical of a politician.

“I am very flattered because Miss Raya herself welcomed my arrival.” said Erik.

“Hah?.”

Raya had absolutely no idea what Erik was talking about.

Erik thought that the leader of the Teapot Legion Guild had come to the gate in order to welcome him.

“I think you misunderstood the situation.” said Raya.

But what really happened was Raya just wanted to get out of the city and she did not know that she would meet with Erik's entourage.

Realizing his mistake made Erik so embarrassed, but as an experienced politician Erik certainly had a thick facial skin.

“Oh, so it seems. It is quite understandable because of my sudden arrival that you did not get any news from the mayor, even though you should have been informed of my arrival.”.

Erik continued to speak so proudly.

“...But it doesn't matter because a young girl like her would often make mistakes.”.

Raya stared intently at Erik as soon as she mentioned about Yuki.

Erik felt hatred start to grow from Raya's gaze so he immediately shifted the focus of his conversation.

“This must be because of fate that has brought us together, so now can you take me to the mayor's office?.”

The smile never escaped Erik's face, the smile full of self-cherishing, the 27-year-old knew it was so narcissistic.

Raya and Budi just stared at each other. Erik, who was convinced that his invitation would be accepted, immediately allowed Raya to get off the horse and come with him back to the city by car.

But Raya's reply really made Erik very surprised.

“Sorry, someone is waiting for me.” said Raya who then asked Budi to immediately spur the two.

Erik was speechless with a stiff face after hearing that, his smile disappeared and turned into a face of disbelief.

“Emm. Alright you will definitely meet an important person so reject my very unattractive invitation.”.

No matter what Erik would say, Budi immediately pulled the Pushrank harness so that the horse immediately galloped out of the city gate.

Erik's hands clenched as he saw them leaving him just like that, the military soldiers clearly saw Erik's Anger begin to grow.

But Erik can control himself because he's a member of the Council.

“What a commoner without ethics.” he said while tidying up his hair.

[Attention the gate will be closed soon]

The announcement from the gate was heard to make Erik and his members immediately return to the car and enter the city.
