Warrior Terminator

Magic Crystal Necklace

Large Magellanic Cloud City is a large city located in the middle of the Earth Country, the city also has the most dense population because the area is not adjacent to the Darkotry area. Even though it is still not as beautiful as the Milky Way City which is the capital and as luxurious as Andromeda City which is inhabited by many nobles and honorable families, but it is precisely the city that can most be called the center of life in the Land of Earth.

The city was filled with many immigrants who only stopped or had settled there. Its economy is the largest when compared to other cities or villages. There are many markets that are not just centered in one place. Merchants from various regions have often been found in this city to offer their merchandise that is not found in other regions. It can be said that without bothering to find a source of livelihood, it is precisely the means of satisfying the needs of the people who come to the city.

Not only the reason to get a large number of buyers that make a group of traders stop in the city, but also to promote their area to be equally crowded. It is not without reason. Because if their area is quiet and not many residents then their area is prone to attack by the ramplites. In addition to the economic mission of the trade group it also brings other tasks.

That made Alpha and Ursa difficult to find the Little Girl's trading entourage. They went around the markets, looking around in crowded places, also asked the locals, but not immediately they found a group of traders who said not too big. Their features are too common. Many people give information but not the sought after ones are found.

“We didn't find it..” Alpha is tired. “And I'm hungry.”

“How about we take a short break and find some food?” Ursa asked the Little Girl, but she was not noticed because the girl's eyes were roaming in the crowd. Ursa smiled gently. ‘She must be very anxious with her parents,’ she thought.

“Ah! That's them!”

Suddenly the girl pointed at a number of people who were enjoying dinner at a table outside a tavern. He hurried over quickly, shouting his parents' call.

“Ayaaah! Ibuuuu!”

“Larissa!” His mother hugged the baby very tightly. Her crying immediately broke. “You congratulations, Larissa! You're alive!”

Different from his wife, the father looks calmer. He looked around. “You're alone, Larissa. Where's the Guardian?”

Larissa looked down with a face of a nelangsa. He nodded while biting his lips. Both parents who understand only grieve to get the answer.

“Then... how did you get here?” ask father.

Larissa looked back, impatiently asking Alpha and Ursa to approach using her hand gestures. Of course that came not only them, but also Kraz and Diphda. Larissa wanted to proudly say that the two young Guardians had helped her but she abandoned the intention when she realized Kraz and Diphda were not far from them.

Aware of the situation Alpha and Ursa use the code to tell who they are. Both of them touched the dagger that was at the waist when introducing themselves.

“Alpha, Mr and Mrs. I'm so happy, um... Larissa can finally get together with you guys again,” he said politely while bowing his body.

“And I'm Ursa. We'll make sure your little princess isn't hurt. But it is a pity that we were late to find him so that we could not save the bodyguards that were with him. The fighter died in his duty. We buried him under a tree on the way here.” Ursa paid similar respects.

Larissa's father patted Alpha-Ursa on the shoulder with two gentle pats. He gave a wide smile and a nod after glancing at where their hands were. He has understood the code that says they are the Guardian. He hugged them suddenly.

“Thank you! Thank you so much for saving my only daughter!” he said it out loud, deliberately to be heard by many people. “I must return the favor! Eat with us! You too, Master and Miss Warrior!” talk to Kraz-Diphda.

Kraz nodded to the invitation. “Uncle, I heard from your daughter that you are a merchant entourage, but I did not see your merchandise, did something bad happen to you?”

Larissa's father nodded weakly. “Not wrong, Sir. We were robbed on our way. Our trade ludes. The horses were forced to sell for travel expenses, pay taxes, eat, and treat our sick members,” he replied, which of course was a lie. Merchant troupe is only a made-up disguise Larissa. That's why they don't find them in the markets.

“Ah, but don't think about it, in the previous city we quite benefited. It was not deprived because it was hidden safely in the pockets. Let's.. let's.we should celebrate by eating in return for my gratitude for the glory you saved my daughter, Larissa,”.

The uncle pulls Kraz and Diphda, sitting them at the table next to the entourage. “Servant! Come and serve these soldiers. Give them what they ask for. I paid.”

“Good, Mr.” The servant answered obediently.

Larissa's father went back to Alpha-Ursa. “You did not bury our guards? Please, tell me how he died. Sit with me,” the door.

“O-oh, yes.. alright.”

“Hey, you too, come here. Your partner's dead. Don't you want to hear of his death?” The uncle pulled a young man from his entourage.

“True. Please tell me,” replied the man.

The four of them sat at another table, right from Kraz-Diphda's table and behind the uncle's desk. Initially Alpha and Ursa actually told the details of how they met Larissa and what the condition of the corpse was like. But after being convinced Kraz and Diphda were no longer too meticulous to notice the four of them their conversation changed.

“I've heard your names. From Youis,” said the Old Man in a small voice.

“Youis?!” Alpha looked surprised. “Uncle, so you met him?”

“We met him not long ago. He told us where we should go,” replied the man called Uncle. He told me he was also a Guardian. He was guarding the group with one other Guardian and two village security guards.

“Youis. I've known him since he was a kid, he used to be a pretty boy, but now he's very reliable. I know you guys are also Guardians,” he said as he glanced at Alpha's dagger, “but why be with Earth Country warriors?”

“We were left behind in the village during the attack that day and it was the soldiers who found us. In the hope of knowing the truth of the attack we were taken prisoner for five years,” Ursa replied.

“Lest? That means you guys didn't evacuate?”

Alpha and Ursa's face turned bright hearing the sentence. Ursa also asked full of relief, “Function.... so all residents are safe?”

The man shook his head. “Not really. We were displaced, but we were scattered all over and many were unknown, some might even be in the Darkotry area. But each troupe has Guardians and warriors who protect and guide them to their destination.”

“What destination do you mean?” ask Alpha.

“A secret place in the north. That place is a safe gathering point for us. Mr. Nereid found it, saying it was the best place and its existence was very hidden. Away from the reach of ramplite and residents of Earthland.”

“At the moment the whole Guardian is looking for residents. You too, immediately escape from their surveillance and join forces to regroup the residents of Mayall Village,” urged the Guardian.

Alpha's face turned sad. He showed the seal that was on his neck without any glaring movement. “This is a special seal that binds me with them. I can't escape.”

“And I can't leave him alone,” Ursa continued.

The uncle and Guardian nodded in understanding. They just breathe disappointed. They cannot change that easily.

“But don't get discouraged, we will still help the village as much as we can. Please tell us what we can do,” pinta Alpha pleads.

“Are you locked up in custody?”

Ursa shook her head in response.

“Good. Then you can help by telling the villagers to go to our destination, which is north of Cigar City, about 18 kilometers to the eleven o'clock of the city,” said the Guardian.

“But how can we mark the villagers? They're all undercover, right?” ask Ursa critically.

The Uncle frowned. “Loh, do you guys not have that necklace?”

“Callung?” ask Alpha and Ursa together, a sign they do not know about the necklace in question.

“Yes. The necklace was distributed to the entire population shortly before evacuating the village. A magic crystal necklace.”

“Crystal tube...magic?”

Alpha and Ursa looked at each other, and then shook their heads together. The young man with a little mane of aqua color was slightly leaning his body. “We don't know anything, Uncle. Explain about the necklace,” the door with a slow whisper.

The uncle reached out behind his clothes, he took out a necklace with a clear crystal pendulum. The crystal pendulum was not neatly shaped, the edges were still rough, but not sharp enough to injure the wearer. “This is a magic crystal necklace. It looks like an ordinary crystal, but this crystal will emit a faint light if it resonates with other crystal necklaces. With this we can find each other.”

Alpha's eyes widen. “That's great?”

“Uncle... is the source of the crystal in our village? I never knew it at all,” Ursa said.

“Only the village officials and the Guardians know about it before.”

“Guardians? We are Guardian candidates, but do not know the slightest bit about this crystal necklace. Mr. Regor didn't say anything,” Ursa continued.

“Only the official Guardian notified will it.” The Guardian man interrupted. “You said you were prisoners, then how did you get that dagger?”

“Joa gave it to us,” Alpha revealed. “Somehow did he know that we were at the military headquarters of the capital. He came to us and told us a little bit of information.”

“Ah, so... Joa, huh? I've met him twice. She's a great girl. In these five years the development is very rapid,” praise the Guardian unmitigated. He even smiled proudly. But it wasn't long. “We have two used magic crystal necklaces from the dead entourage members, wear them and use them to help our village.”

Alpha and Ursa received the necklace given by the Guardian man in confusion. Because he gave it openly through the table, when what they are talking about at this time should be a secret.

“If questioned by them answer that this is a safety talisman that we give as a sign of gratitude for bringing Larissa back,” said the man. “Because you are with the soldiers then I rely on you to keep them away from the residents you meet. Can?”

“Can or not remain we will try. We are the Guardian of Mayall Village. We will pay for five years of our slack period,” replied Alpha steady.

“Well, after you finish eating soon back.” Message from Uncle.

Not lingering, Alpha and Ursa immediately finished the dish that was on their table. After finishing and exchanging their light conversation with Diphda and Kraz, they rush back to the military headquarters in the city.

“Your conversation with them looks serious in the middle of earlier,” sergeant Diphda suddenly.

“Oh. That's because we were talking about the Milky Way city when they found out we were from there. We both don't want to look bad, especially until you hear us, because we're just making up stories in the capital because we don't know much either. We are serious for thinking lies.” Alpha smoothly told his lie.

“Wow.” Only words spoken flatly are Diphda's response.

“Don't do it, Ms. Diphda, however, we do not want to embarrass ourselves. Saying that we have never been out of the area before does not make us cool, even though we wear warrior uniforms,” added Alpha peppered the lie.

“Heh, very funny, even though only prisoners in warrior uniforms who just came out of custody.” Kraz mocks. He was met with a look of annoyance from Alpha. “You boasted of Milky Way despite the originals from a remote village.”

“Hahaha.” Laughter Ursa flat. “We're not as dumb as it opens our identity freely, Mr. Kraz. After all, their treatment of us would be different if they knew we were from that traitorous village. Cleverly assessing the situation is also the wisdom of a person.”

“Oh-ho. As always, Ursa can always say good words,” said Kraz amazed.

“So... what gifts do you get from them?” diphda asked as he glanced at the magic crystal necklace hanging from Alpha's neck.

Alpha first responded with a big smile, but replied in a slightly flat tone, “Only a common talisman necklace. Ursa can also. A~ah. Isn't that right, Ursa?”

“Do not whine. Getting this necklace from them has also been luck,” reply Ursa relaxed. ‘Yeah, of course very profitable. Because this magic crystal necklace will be of great help to us,’ Ursa added in heart.
