The Rising Of The Mage

Chapter 33

"Yes, if that is the case, I understand it too, but are you seriously willing to keep watch here. They haven't been back one day, no intention of picking up." Lociting.

"For that I sent a password, maybe soon he will arrive," said Lokiteng as his eyes saw if there was a messenger back.

Away from that that grassland, his faint eyes caught a black silhouette. Slowly but surely the silhouette showed its form. He came with a go-ahead.

When it approached Lokiteng immediately attacked, "how? What did you get from that place? How are they doing?" tanyanya.

"Oi, ask slowly. You don't see how he is, he's breathing. So hold your curiosity until she calms down. You get him a drink." said Lokiting while ordering one to take a drink.

He took the water and drank, like a man who had just passed through the desert. After he took a sip of water in the glass and his breathing was in order, then he conveyed the information obtained.

"The group has been slaughtered" he said and immediately made those who heard him shocked. Lokiteng even stood up while ambushing, "what do you mean that? How could they possibly be slaughtered by that horde?"

the cipher trembled as he accepted the raid, "i'm not lying, that's the reality. This is the evidence I found!" he said while handing over a necklace.

Seeing the necklace that became a sign of his group membership, making Lokiteng and Lokiting ride apitam. Soon Lokiteng swore.

"Bad! They've trampled on the bodies of my men. Until whenever I'll remember this, carelessness has made me lose a valuable member" he said.

Lokiting immediately stepped forward, his hand patting his sidekick's shoulder.

"Pacify yourself, I'm emotional too. It's our fault, they've obeyed all our orders. In the end, our hands have led them to death" he said withholding emotions.

"I also know that, for now we have to devise a plan. How do I destroy that horde!" Lokiteng.

"You're right, we have to deal with this with a cool head. Thanks for the information you gave me, now rest." Said Lokiteng while telling the telik sandi to rest.

The other men now prepared their horses, for Lokiteng told them to return.

"At least this mission was successful, even though the price paid was twenty lives of our friend. Soon we'll go back to the base and make a tomb for them" he said.

"Well," they answered in unison.

After that Lokiteng jumped on the horse, followed by other members. With a single blow the horse drove, their goal was to return.

"What do you think they want from the inscription?" tanya Lokiting tried to change the mood of Lokiteng who was still gloomy because of the loss of members.

"Come, since I don't have the [Reading] and [Learning] Skills, so don't understand the inscription on the Inscription. Rumors are circulating, you must have both skills at Beginner level 9 just to understand a little of the writing." replied Lokiteng.

It turned out that the effort made by Lokiting was not in vain, the mood of his best friend began to improve. He even explained the details of what he was asking.

"It is said that both skills are needed at the Intermidate level to learn the letters of Pallawa. Then to understand Sanskrit script, one must have both skills at the Advance level. And you know, that stage is very difficult to achieve, only those in the [Scholarship] or [Sage] class are able to read it." explained Lokiteng.

Hearing that explanation Lokiting chuckled, he did not expect to understand the script of the gods required a high level skill.

"What is called generosity, gives us language but to learn it is so difficult. Do the gods really want to help us?" said Lokiting a little upset.

"Why are you so unhappy?" ask Lokiteng.

"It should be, if they want to give us a language to communicate. There is no need to have a requirement to understand it, let it be understandable to us even though our Reading and Learning skills are at the Beginner level. This should instead be at the Intermediate level for the Pallawa script and the Advance level for the Sanskrit script. Doesn't that mean they make it harder not easier" said Lokiting.

This time Lokiteng laughed at the words of his best friend. He found his best friend laughing, as he conveyed what was in his head. Lokiting asked.

"Why are you laughing at my perception?"

Lokiteng immediately replied, "i also had such thoughts first. Why are the gods so unfair, giving something must be conditional. But I've realized it the last few years. If the grace of a god is so easy to obtain, then many of us will underestimate. It is precisely a condition to obtain it, making us appreciate the gifts of the gods."

Hearing the long explanation of his best friend Lokiting's head throbbing, he did not understand what Lokiteng was trying to convey.

"Can you explain it in a simple way, your friend still does not know. How does the love of God work?" He asked politely, as if pleading with the teacher.

"Take it easy is an increase in the level of the Adventurers. To rise from that level is very difficult, there are some conditions that must be met. However, it was not in vain because after you level up. Your attitude and your confidence increase, it will make you appreciate the level you have achieved, right?" lokiteng tried to explain.

"Yes too, now I understand it a little bit. But still, what good was it trying to get the gods to give such trouble?" Lociting Response.

"Of course there is, the condition is used as a benchmark for the gods. If the person who wants to possess that knowledge fulfills all his requirements, then it will automatically be his. For example, not far away, our Skill only needs some conditions to have it, not." replied Lokiteng.

"Oh I understand now, so that means that the terms are only a means of the gods. In order for the knowledge given by them, not to be used carelessly, is it?" clear Lociting.

"In the end, I'm still too far away to understand how the gods love us. What is clear is that they have a very broad way, as much as the breath of creatures in this world" said Lokiteng ended the discussion.

"You're right, the gods are sometimes hard to guess. Sometimes good is bad, depending on how we react." response Lociting.

They were swept away in the discussion, while his men were wailing. For not understanding at all, with what they both discussed.

One thing they could catch, the sadness experienced by their leader, Lokiteng, was gone.
