The Tale Of A - Raziel
The Unexpected Help
The next day, Raziel who fainted due to incarnate into the figure of the Devil Ra also woke up in a wooden house. Slowly, Raziel got off the bed, took his two swords and put them on his back and walked while watching the house.
"where am I"?? hers...
From the kitchen, Raziel smelled spices and saw a faint smoke coming from the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, Raziel saw the figure of Thang stirring the potion that was being boiled in a barrel.
"Ssssshhhhiiinnnggg.." Raziel pulled out his sword.
"Have it saved. Sit down first" Thang said.
Hearing this, Raziel sheathed his sword and walked up to Thang.
"You're helping me"? ask Raziel
"Not really." replied Thang
"Why should? am I not your opponent"? ask Raziel again
"Sit down first. I'll tell you later" Thang said
Feeling no threat from Thang, Raziel sat in the living room, the wooden house.
"It's a drink first. This tea helps restore your energy" Thang said as he poured tea
"Hmmm" that's just Raziel's reaction
"Last night, my men informed me that the Han family had been killed. Then I rushed there" said Thang
"Certainly"? ask Raziel
"In front of Jeremy's fence, I saw you pass out. Then I brought you here"
"Why? am I not your enemy? you are Jeremy's man" Raziel asked
"Actually, I'm already sultry with Jeremy." replied Thang
"Wait first. Something is bothering me" Raziel said
"What's that"?
"I once received a contract in the Cyber city. As a result of my target's greed, the city is now beset by poverty and hunger. Many children are starving. But, when I received the contract to kill Jeremy, why did this city look so prosperous? inversely with the Cyber City"? ask Raziel.
"Hmmm so. In fact, the Han family business was among the profitable ones. Only, they monopolize the trading world in this city. Including the sale of weapons and drugs. Anyone who was not subject to the rules of the Han family would receive his reward. Of course this is bad for traders, but good for robbers. Traders can only sell below the standard price. The robbers can buy as they please. But behind that, the tax system in this city does not exist. This is what makes the residents of this city a little quiet" ....
Upon hearing Han's explanation, Raziel then understood why the city of Pearl was inversely proportional to the city of Cyber.
"Then why are you helping me"? ask Raziel again
"40 years I've been under the control of the Han family. In fact, to build my wooden house alone, I had to pay 50 thousand pieces of gold. Not to mention, a lot of the dirty work I've done. This is against my heart. I just want to live in peace, and sell tea. But the Han family never allowed me to stop. I really want to fight, but I know my abilities. Rather than me dying silly, I'd rather contend with this reality. Until you finally come and tear down the Han family line. That's why I thank you" Thang said
"Hmmm... It turned out that way" Raziel replied again.
"By the way about your spear that I destroyed"? ask Raziel
"Forget it. With the spear destroyed, it means that I am no longer a fighter. I'll focus on my teahouse" replied Thang.
While drinking tea, they also told me about the condition of Pearl city.

Aztec City, El's Inn
"Cccciiiiittttt" a car tire rang in front of the lobby at the entrance of El's inn
"Dad, what do you want"? lidya said she saw her father get out of the car
While walking in, Edward then met Lidya who seemed to approach him
"Dad, what's wrong? didn't I send you the lodging report last night? is something wrong?" ask Lidya
"Oh no. Everything is complete" Edward replied
"What's going on dad"? ask Lidya again
"Have he come back" asked Edward
Lidya shook her head.
"It's been 1 day. What the hell's going on? has he failed?" ask Edward in your heart.
"Let's go with dad for tea. There's something I want to tell you" Edward said.
"Let's get a little more dad" Lidya replied
They also sat at the minibar table of El's inn a little far from the corner of the minibar.
"Lidya How. You know, ever since he arrived, and since your kidnapping yesterday, dad, always been a little bit of a fret. I can't sleep in peace" Edward said
"Continue?" ask Lidya
"Dad's planning on leaving you to Raziel. Let him take care of you. I'm sure, besides him, I don't have to worry about your safety" Edward said
"Eh...eh... What the fuck is dad?? who's watching dad"? ask Lidya
"It's okay. I can take care of myself. I'm more worried about you Lidya" Edward said
Lidya's face looked a little happy but doubtful. Because before his father conveyed this, Lidya had already offered himself to Raziel.
"It's up to dad. But does Raziel want to accept me dad"? ask Lidya
"if you don't have to think about it. I'll talk to him" Edward said.
____________
Pearl City, Thang House
"All right, I'm going home. Thank you for your help" Raziel told Thang.
"Wait a minute" said Thang
Thang held onto Raziel's left hand, and immediately, the "X" sign across Raziel's left hand emitted smoke.
At once Raziel cried out in pain "Aaaarrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh"
"Serist as I thought" Thang said
"What are you doing" Raziel said angrily
"Just calm down, it's just a rejection reaction from the sign on your hand. All right I'll explain. In my body there is a flow of Chi-Yin. We narrowed down, my body aura white. While the aura of the mark on your left hand is Yang. Black aura. When I tried to channel my aura into the sign, the sign refused. Including this sword of yours" Thang said as he pointed towards Zanka
"It has nothing to do with me. I just reminded you. Don't let the Devil's side rule over you, and join your sword curse. If that happens, you will lose yourself forever" Thang said
"Where do you know that cursed sword"?
"I don't know. I just feel it. Such a powerful dark aura enveloped your sword" Thang replied.
"All right, thanks for your advice. I'll remember it. Then I have to leave immediately" Raziel said
"This. Bring it. Make it on the street" Thang handed over a box of food and tea to Raziel
"Thank you" Raziel said as she exited Thang's house
"Your burden is very heavy young people" Thang said in his heart
Raziel went and walked back to the Aztec city...
"Ahhhh. It's a long drive home" Raziel said....
In the middle of his journey, Raziel rested in a large tree in a forest. He opened Thang's gift box, and saw rice rolls and tea. Raziel ate it and drank tea.
"I didn't think my opponent would help me. Good parents" he said.
After resting, Raziel resumed his journey.
_____________
A few hours later, though,
"Ahhhh it was late in the afternoon and finally arrived"
Raziel said as soon as he saw the inscription "Welcome to Aztec City". Raziel set foot into Edward's house.
When Edward Raziel's house hit the bell. Edward came out and found Raziel standing at the door.
"Oh, you're back. Come on in" said Edward
They both went into Edward's house.
"Let's sit. Tea?" said Edward
"No need" Raziel replied.
"Jeremy" huh"?
"Leave name. Including Han, his father"
"so yeah. Well, I'm going to pass this information on to the giver" Edward said
Raziel just nodded.
"Then wait here. I want to show you something" Edward said
Edward rushed to his room, and picked up a brown envelope. In the corner of the brown envelope, there was a circular pattern forming a snake.
While carrying the envelope, Edward approached Raziel and handed him the envelope.
"What is this" asked Raziel.
"Open it" replied Edward
Raziel opened the envelope and read it.
"Blood Contract"
A blood contract is a special contract between an intermediary and its executor. The intermediary will order something to the executor and in exchange, the intermediary must hand over something valuable to the executor. The executor had no choice but to accept it.
"What do you mean by this"? raziel
"Through that contract, I want you to take Lidya with you. Ever since I went back to being an intermediary, I've always worried about her safety. For that, I want you to take care of him"
Hearing Edward's explanation, and the Blood Contract in his hands, Raziel could not resist.
"Are you sure of your decision"? raziel asked Edward
"I'm very confident, and very confident, that you are able to protect and look after Lidya" Edward replied.
"Alright then" Raziel said.
Then, Raziel took his sword and scratched a little into his finger. The little scratches spit out blood. Raziel then put the blood on the contract.
"I fulfilled this contract" Raziel said
"And I'll take care of Lidya with my life" he continued
Edward smiled and said
"Thank you"
"Then I go back to El's inn first" Raziel said
"You want me to drive" asked Edward.
"don't need. I'm just gonna walk"
Raziel leaves Edward's house and walks to El's inn.
Arriving at El's inn, Lidya saw Raziel entering through the lobby door was surprised.
"Loh, tumben through the door. All this time through the balcony"? lidya
Raziel just smiled.
"How's your new costume? comfortable right"? ask Lidya again.
"Lumayan." said Raziel
A little annoyance on Lidya's face...
"Maybe I'll tell Lidya about the contract later" Raziel said.
"I went to the room first" Raziel told Lidya.
"Your turn" Lidya replied a little annoyed.
Raziel went to her room.
