"Finally, I can." After the Festival the village chief came up to me and gave me a scroll that became access to unlock the Summon Skill.
"0/1 Monster?" Miho who was beside me was a little confused by the CD caption on the Summon Skill.
I was also quite curious so I opened the description of Skill Summon's explanation.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=<>\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Summon : Player can summon Monsters and make them a loyal partner under any circumstances.
When a dead Monster will appear CD before the Monster can be called back, the summoning time after death for each Monster varies according to the Rank possessed by the Monster.
The number of Monsters that can be in Summon will increase along with the increase in Skills.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"So that the number of Monsters that can be summoned is limited and now I can only summon one monster," I said after closing the explanation of the Summon skill.
This skill turned out to have a different basis than other skills.
After that Miho and I went around the island from Killika, we walked west where there were many NPCs playing or sunbathing.
We walked until my eyes were fixed in a direction that was a stone statue in the shape of a Tiger that was standing gallantly.
This stone statue is quite striking although it does not have a large size, maybe only about 1 meter to the width and height of 1.5 meters.
"Remain?" A moment of sound came from behind us, it was one of the residents on Killika island.
"Yes," I said briefly, then we shook hands.
"You likey? I mean this statue," said the young man who had the name Tidus.
"This statue is one of the heirlooms on this island. That said, this statue was made long before the pirates came to colonize the island of Killika." Tidus explains the history of the statue and then prays to the statue.
I looked at the statue up close as well, as my eyes fell on the writing below.
My breath stopped while reading the writing below this statue.
"In-this, right...." I said that in disbelief.
"Ah, that writing. It's the ancient writing of Killika's ancestor, I don't know what's on that stone, but it clearly shows a message." Tidus held my shoulder as I continued to look at the writing in silence.
"You okay?"
"Ah, i-yes... I'm fine."
"This was written by someone in the past. But, now no one on this island can read that writing." After saying that Tidus was summoned by some people, it seemed like it was his friend.
He waved his hand and after that left with the people calling him.
Meanwhile, I silently thought of something, I looked at Miho and changed the settings of my Mic to private.
"Miho, use private too" I said to Miho who a moment later did as I said.
"Yes," I said briefly, and for a moment I stopped my words, for I still could not believe what I found.
"Here is written something, how, well...." I then explained the contents of the writing on the statue.
"Byakko, God of the Western wind. As I write this time may have rolled far, I do not know what I left behind will be useful but I am sure, you. You are the chosen one." That is what is written on this stone.
"You are the chosen one, yes," Miho said, touching the inscription.
"I can't read the meaning of this writing at all." Miho looked at me curiously.
"Actually what race did you choose Rudeus?" Tanya Miho was serious.
After that I explained this race I chose by chance to Miho.
"The High Human? You choose a race that even until now no one has been able to get a job with that race," said Miho surprised by the race I choose.
I think this is natural, the High Human race does have advantages in learning all skills, though, however, players will be difficult in improving skills and even jobs available for the High Human race are only one and still no one knows it.
"Miho, put that aside," I said as I stared at this statue.
"Byakko, you know what I mean, right?"
"Yes, there are still 3 other statues on this island." Miho turned out to be as I thought.
Byakko is one of the Gods of Legend or mythology from Japan. It is written in history that the world is protected by the gods who guard the gates of the sky which are likened to Dragons (Seiryu), Fire Birds (Suzaku), Turtles (Genbu), and White Tigers (Byakko).
After that I and Miho walked towards the
East of the island there are not too many residents or players passing by, the bushes grow creeping over our path.
Gradually we were traversing the thickets, it was quite difficult but we were lucky enough to remember the island of Killika there were no monsters or wild animals that could harm us.
A moment after entering deep enough we saw a thicket covering something big, a, we removed the shrubbery and clearly saw a statue that was slightly larger than the Byakko statue in the west.
One of the animals in the legend.
"Eastern guardian god, Seiryu," I muttered after clearly seeing the statue before me.
Meanwhile, Miho who was beside me looked at the statue in awe, then he saw me, "Rudeus."
"Yes." Yeah." I then looked into the ancient writing written below.
"Seiryu, the Eastern Wind God. But every power has a great responsibility, I hope you don't lose it and fall into greed like them." I was quite amazed by the meaning of this writing.
"I see, I see," Miho seemed to find something from the intent of the second writing.
"This is a message, we have found 2 and now there are still 2 others on this island." It makes sense, I feel like what I said with Miho was true.
If this is a message so what does it mean that 'every power has a great responsibility.'
And who did he mean by falling into that greed.
All these puzzles revolved around my head, after which Miho and I went to the next place, I don't know what was in the next message that I was obviously impatient.
I feel like we found something big, something that Neverland Country has long forgotten.
And at that time we both did not realize that we had turned the wheel that opened up to a wider world than we knew.
TBC.
