Towards the Unbeatable

Act 171: Until

After a while they rode in the end they found the end of the vast empty land of the former rocks.

There was a rather large archway attached after they came out of the area, and at the top of the gate it was written 'Rock Valley' which seemed to be the name of this place, and also on the side near the gate was a wooden board that was quite sturdy but not too big, it seems that it was an information board about this area.

Kibo looked closely at the information board, although in the end he had to narrow his eyes because the writing on the brown wooden board was rather small, supposedly the maker of this information board makes this wooden board a little bigger because the information conveyed impressed a lot.

The small writings on the brown wood board are an explanation of this place called 'Rock Valley', ranging from origins to scattered myths.

It seems that the Kibo allegations were true, it was also reinforced by the information from the board, he said, that indeed this Rock Valley area can appear sharp rocks at night and gradually disappear when sunlight shines on the place.

Even written there are some victims who have had accidents there ranging from minor injuries to death just because of the stone field, and again the cause of those who died is very sad, very sad, starting from falling on the sharp rocks, and most lose balance when crossing the area until finally back at the first point earlier.

And also mentioned there at the end of the explanation there is a red letter that is written rather large than other writings, reads 'Dangerous Area'.

Kibo itself strongly agrees about the dangerous area and again the reality is like that, it is also seen that there are no residents around the area, because it seemed like they wanted to stay away from this dangerous area.

Kibo and the rest of his entourage finally returned to the gas to immediately leave this area, now in front of them, there is a fairly smooth descent of the path and a few turns on the road, roughly they had to go through about ten rice fields scattered there, he said, after they had gone through it all at the end of the road there was a city gate that was quite large and it was definitely a city near the western kingdom that they had been heading to.

They quickly as possible, while looking around the area in the green rice fields, there were no farmers there or residents who were walking around, he said, the situation here seems quiet but still a peaceful natural atmosphere remains at this time.

In the end they arrived at the city gate, quite large but not as big as the royal central city usually, usually the state representatives would be on duty here, he said, and you could say the Alliance Fight's organization will meet with the representatives of the western royal country here.

There was one large-bodied guard there clad in armor complete with a spear in his right hand staring intently and suspiciously at the entourage of curly men and the many big men there.

Without trying to ask anything the gatekeeper looked indifferent about the existence of this crowd, it was possible that at this moment he did not want to pay much attention.

Kibo immediately got off his horse and rushed to the gatekeeper in armor, Kibo could not see anything but his eyes because this guard was wearing full armor on his entire body.

He was standing right in front of the guard, his size was almost the same as the big men in his group, there might be a difference of a few centimeters.

"Good morning Lord Guard, I would like to ask if this is a city near the western kingdom?"

The guard's forward-looking eyes slightly shifted downwards with the intention of seeing who the interlocutor was, and it seemed that he was a little lazy to respond.

"Sorry, here is Boston City, I don't know which city near the western kingdom you mean" replied the large guard in full armor, his voice was a little heavy and seemed to just twist on the helmet or head covering he was wearing.

Kibo is now confused how to ask correctly, because he only knows about the competition he will participate is near the western kingdom, and, wouldn't it be better to just ask about the competition to the city guards?

"Sir, forgive me once again for interrupting the time, we are planning to enter the fighting competition, do you know about it?"

"Oh, do you mean the fighting competition 'Remain the Fighting Competition in Boston City! With a hundred gold coins!' gift!' scattered in the brochures?"

"ah! Yes, you're right, Mr. Guard, do you know anything about the competition?"

Kibo finally remembered that when he saw the scattered flyer he did not look at the city where the competition was held, instead saw a small inscription under the City of Boston, which read 'near the western kingdom' so in the end his perception shifted slightly by mentioning 'near the western kingdom' and not 'held in Boston City'.

The big guard sighed and then started talking again, it seemed that to talk a lot while wearing an iron headscarf required extra energy.

"Truely, what you mean is the Boston City Competition, this is a special event because it is attended by two people from the holy knight, who are, thor the Holy Defense and Arthur the Holy Sword ...."

"W-what?"

Kibo was amazed when he heard the competition was attended by the famous holy knight from the western kingdom, the most disinclined figure of the entire western kingdom and who were the people with the best abilities.

Kibo did not expect this at all, could he not be careful in reading the brochure? Was something missing while reading it?

"But I know whoever will participate in this competition must come before nine o'clock in the morning ...."

"Then isn't the time still there? B-can you open the gate so we can pass to enter the competition?"

The Boston City gatekeeper glanced at the sidelines of the gate bars, he looked at the large clock in the city center, his vision was quite sharp because he could see that far. Then he turned his head back to answer the question of this Kinky Man.

"Hhhh .. now it's 09.01 you're too late ...."

"?!"

"W-what? Just over a minute? Can't it still be covered?"

"Rules are made so that all can obey them well, and I think in the rules not all there is leeway." The guard started talking to explain.

"You mean?" Kibo is increasingly curious about what is meant by the big man of the gate guard of Boston City.

"Regulations are rules, there will be consequences if you violate or disobey, in which case you can no longer participate in the fighting competition held in this city ...."

"W-what?"
