Towards the Unbeatable

Act 161: Is There Hope? (2)

Kibo had asked the father a question, now he was waiting for an answer from him.

An answer that would determine what their journey would be like to enter the competition near the western kingdom, would all the travel be in vain or would it bear fruit?

Kibo's concern was about the timing of the competition, very urgent, the set time there were two days left from now

Even if you have been using the full speed of the horse for a day will not be enough to pursue a place that is not close, their horses were not robots that could carry them endlessly to where the competition was held.

"In fact to reach near the center of the western kingdom there are several roads that can be taken, but there is one road that is the fastest among other roads ...." The parents began to explain of course.

"Fastest road?! Really true?" Kibo began to be enthusiastic, his hopes began to rise and he hoped that the explanation from the Fathers could meet his expectations.

"Yes, among the many paths, I will explain two of them."

"The first road is of course the main road, gentlemen will be able to reach near the center of the western kingdom but must first cross the hilly, uphill and downhill areas are quite a lot," said the Father.

"Humped?"

Kibo isn't sure if this is the fastest way? That is, if indeed the road uphill and down sharply, of course, the two things will slow their movement. Which means the chances of them being late are getting bigger.

"Then ...."

"Well, what about the second road?" asked Kibo, he hoped this time the second road path was no worse than the first road he had heard.

"The second path is the path that passes through the forest, but the road is rocky and difficult to pass ...."

"No, that second line I'm talking about has a shorter mileage, so you guys can go faster near the center of the western royal city."

"Because the second road can be called a shortcut to near the center of the western kingdom," said the father.

When Kibo heard something like this, he was very happy that he had hope that they could enter the competition near the western kingdom.

Kibo smiled a sign of his feeling calmer, he did not need to be afraid anymore to think 'do not have time to enter the competition' obviously he would definitely choose the second path that has been said by the father.

"Then—"

Not until Kibo finished his words, the father immediately resumed his explanation suddenly.

"However, I advise not to take the second path, sir." I don't know why Kibo's feelings are getting so bad right now.

There was no other choice for Kibo than to ask why the father had said such a thing, why should his slowly rising expectations be shaken again? What else is going to happen?

"What's wrong, sir?" Kibo doubted his current expectations, his sharp premonition now stirring negative thoughts into his thinking.

The father will again explain the truncated explanation, from which Kibo noticed it seems that this father was a strong man from the time he spoke to him, from the time he had spoken to him, he behaved as usual without feeling excessive fear especially to avoid them, even though he knew that he had the same bad experience as others.

"Because on the second track it ...."
