章 45: Human King, Xargon Odin

According to the guild envoys, it would take roughly about 3 weeks for them to reach Azurion City. So in the meantime, Prime and the others are just chilling and enjoying their time on the skyship.

"Damn, this is awesome and what a beautiful view, especially looking down from up high the sky," said Prime in amaze.

Looking down from the skyship, Prime could see the beautiful Nature landscape below him. Such as the mountains, the lakes, the trees, flowers and so on. Of course, they were some white clouds too around him, and sometimes he could even see birds flying by next to him while he's on the skyship.

All in all, it was an enjoyable experience for Prime as he really enjoyed looking at the sceneries from up high.

Besides that, the skyship isn't as simple as everyone thinks, because the skyship looks more like a cruise rather than a normal skyship use for transportation. Meaning that, the skyship has rooms for everyone to stay in and even a high-class restaurant for people to eat their buffet.

Of course, the design of the skyship is not modern looking, but rather it looks more like those in ancient times or from a fantasy book.

Once Prime had enough enjoying the beautiful view below him, he then heads back to the room that was assigned to him.

At the moment, he wasn't alone in his room, but rather Nara was there as well sharing the same room with him. The time right now is 4 PM, and it has been 7 hours since they left Tedora island to Azurion City.

Prime had been quite curious about Nara's identity lately because first, her level is a bit too high to be someone ordinary. Second, the fact that she was getting pursued by Buro's group, proves that she must have a very powerful background, thus Prime was interested to know.

"Isn't it time for you to tell me who you really are?" said Prime.

"What do you mean?" said Nara while pretending to be innocent.

"Hmm, so you still don't trust me huh? Even though I had helped you twice so far,"

"This guy... Just what is his motive really?" Nara thought to herself.

It's not that Nara doesn't trust Prime, but it's just that he's too mysterious to her and she doesn't feel comfortable about it. Because firstly, her Appraisal power didn't work on him, and secondly she can't seem to know what Prime is thinking and what is he even up to by helping her.

Plus, she also has the feeling that Prime is way stronger than what many people perceived him to be. However, she wasn't sure if Prime is stronger than her or not because if he's indeed stronger than her, then she wouldn't feel comfortable as she prefers to be the one in control.

Looking at her expression, Prime could tell that she still doesn't trust him and even had doubts. However, Prime doesn't blame her for thinking like this because after all, he and her are not very close to begin with. So is only natural that she doesn't trust him completely.

"I know what you're thinking, but fear not, I'm not your enemy nor I want anything from you in return. I only asked you this because I was just curious that's all,"

"Of course, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, so don't force yourself,"

"Well, although I still don't get why you are helping me, but regardlessly, I still owe you twice and I guess there's no harm for me to tell you who I am. However, you must promise me to not tell anyone about this okay?" said Nara with a serious look on her face.

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word," said Prime assuredly.

"Hmm, I'm not sure why she suddenly looks so serious, but I guess it must've been very important to her," Prime thought to himself.

Initially, Nara didn't want to tell Prime about her identity as she still doesn't know him well. But regardlessly, Prime is still her savior since he did indeed saved her twice. Although Nara still doesn't know what is Prime's intention, but she's still grateful for his help.

Plus who knows she might even be dead by now if it's not because Prime had helped her twice. So in a way, she owes Prime for saving her life and even if he wanted to take her life, she wouldn't complain.

With that said, Nara then began telling Prime everything starting from the beginning till to the end. Once she's done telling her story, Prime then said:

"I see, so it's like this,"

"Yeah, it's very complicated. But you get the idea of it," said Nara with a sad voice, especially since she's worried about how her father is doing.

Deep down in Prime's heart, he doesn't mind going to the RedStar Kingdom to help her if he happens to be on the way, or he has to do his quest there. But if the quest doesn't tell him to go there, then he wouldn't waste his time helping her.

Although he's someone that only help others if there's a benefit, but that's not completely true all the time. Because depending on his mood, sometimes he may even help others without expecting anything in return. But for the most part, he wouldn't help without benefiting anything.

One week later...

In Azurion City inside the royal palace throne room, a guard came rushing in through the throne's door with sweat on his face.

"Your majesty! Your majesty! Bad news! The 5 Dragon Royal Knights from the RedStar Kingdom wants to see you now! Also, they said that you can't refuse as it is an urgent matter," said the guard while breathing heavily.

"What?!" said Xargon Odin, the King of BlueStar Kingdom.

At the moment, Xargon is having a meeting with the 5 guild masters from the top 5 guilds. But now that someone from the RedStar Kingdom came, so he can't refuse. Plus, it's not just anyone from the RedStar Kingdom, but a Royal Knight, and the word "Royal" Knight," mean it has something to do with the royal family of RedStar Kingdom.

Of course, even the 5 guild masters were shocked as well to hear that the Royal Knights from the RedStar Kingdom are here. Also, since the Crimson Tiger Guild is one of the top 5 guilds, therefore Terasia was there as well in the royal throne room.

"Xargon-sama, your order please!" said the guard urgently.

"Of course let them in now!" said Xargon without hesitation while sweating a bit worriedly.

Although Xargon Odin is a powerful Human King, but in front of a Dragon King, he's nothing but a child. Since after all, the human race is the weakest race out of all the races out there in this world, so that's why Xargon has to be careful not to offend other races from other kingdoms.

It is unknown how many races exist in this world, but one thing everyone knows is that out of all the races out there, the strongest one is the Demon and the Dragon race. These are the two "Apex" races that sit at the top of the food chain for who knows how many millennium years, and none can do anything about it.

Since they are the only two Apex races, so there are always conflicts between them as they are trying to rule one another. In fact, 10 millennium years ago, there was a great war between the Demon and the Dragon race, but the result was nobody won, it was a tie.

Although it was a tie, but both sides suffered great damaged and many of their people had died because of the great war. In the end, they decided to sign a peace treaty as they had enough of losing too many people and resources, thus they wanted peace.

However, peace don't last forever because lately, the Demon race is getting stronger and the Dragon race is worried. For the last 10 millenniums, these two races have more or less equal in power, but now not anymore. Thus it's about time that the Demon race will start another war again.

Eventually, the 5 Royal Knights from the RedStar Kingdom entered the royal palace and is now in the throne room meeting with the King. Of course, the 5 guild masters were there as well as they were curious to know what's the 5 Royal Knights are here for.

"Sorry to disturb you, your majesty. But this is an urgent matter and we need your help now, so I hope that you can help us," said one of the 5 Royal Knights while doing a palm hold fist as a way to show his respect.

"Hmm, what is this urgent matter you are talking about?" said Xargon curiously.

With that said, the Royal Knight leader then explained and told Xargon that they need help regarding Nara's disappearance. Since Xargon is the King of BlueStar Kingdom, so they believe that relying on Xargon will be quicker rather than they alone searching for the entire kingdom just to find Nara.

Of course, Xargon didn't refuse and gladly said that he will help them. So without delay, Xargon ordered his men to search for Nara right away. As for the 5 guild masters, they too help out as well and sent their people to look for Nara.

"Thank you for your help King Xargon. If that's the case, then we will not bother you any longer," said the Royal Knight leader respectfully and after that, he and his subordinates then left and continue their search on Nara again.

Two weeks later...

Finally, Prime and Nara could see something ahead of them, and it looks like they've arrived at the outskirt of Azurion City.

"Hohoho! We're almost there everyone! Just a little bit more before we reach our destination," said the skyship Captain happily as he was trying to hype everyone.
