Capítulo 28: Tear of Oizys

The environment got quiet in an instance. His entrance made a difference. Now both the paladin and Theodore came forward to face them again with new confidence. After reuniting with Sylph, Catherine was also able to use high tier magic now. "Huh! That's your strength? Killing a newbie! Why not face off with me!" A giant looking thug came forward. "He's the one whom we were tailing before getting caught up in their trap." Catherine cursed as she glanced at him. Vivian was covering their exit if anything went south. "That explains how two of you got kidnapped," Aeneas replied with a slight smile on his face. "Ha ha ha ha, who would have thought you of all people would get kidnapped. Ahh, the pfff. This is going to be the best memory so far." He suddenly burst into laughter. Looking at his laugh, both girls got angry, so angry one could see flames fuming from them. "You have chosen your death I see, let this one finish…" Catherine said with a forced smile. Suddenly one of the thugs pounced on Aeneas shouting, "Don't you dare lose your attention." His actions were different, refined, and fast. In a single leap, he was right next to Aeneas leaving him no choice but to step back a step. Even Aeneas was pressured under his slash that meant he was no ordinary thug. Others moved in after his intervention as well. Just when all were to collide, a drunk guy walked in shouting, "Shut up! I can't enjoy my drink because of your loads." Everyone was looking at him aloof. "Or what?" The guy who pounced on asked him with a raised sword. "Hya!"He glared at him and then suddenly the next moment he was standing next. He pulled his collar and pulled him down to his height, "You don't want to mess with me, punk!." At the height, he could see him clearly. That thug suddenly jumped back and started shivering, "No way! You are from Lamorra's Killer fraction. Damn you. A bloody paladin knight!" Listening to his reply they all started to shake. 'Damn aren't they some mindless killers? What is one of them doing here? Wait I heard that he's been here for a while. Let's just leave, I don't wanna end up dead at the hands of soldiers.' They started murmuring. "Huh! I can't hear you clearly?" He shouted again. "Tchk, Remember, we'll have our revenge one day." That giant thug warned him with his shaking hands before leaving the tower along with others. "Lamorra, Lamorra, wait…! That's the one! Hey there!" Aeneas seemed to remember something. "Huh!" That guy replied with a drunk look. "Ever heard of the name Nuae?" His question startled that drunk man. "Shh! Follow me." He replied after thinking a while. "Hey! Are you sure it's safe? We just walked out of one problem here. I don't want to get involved in another." Theodore asked. "One? There is still one problem Theo! Who is this girl?" Vivian angrily asked and added, "And where were you? Why was Aeneas beaten up?" To her questions, Theodore felt a slight pain in his forehead. "For now, let's follow him or we'll lose whatever clue we have." Catherine pointed toward that drunk man's fading figure. Seeing this they all ran to catch up with him.

After walking for a while they came to a dead-end of one of the streets. "Not again!" Vivian and Catherine complained in sync. Everyone thought that they were again lured into some trap. But then suddenly, that guy jumped on Aeneas saying, "How the hell does you that name. I spent years ensuring that name gets forgotten. Did the emperor send you to kill me or what? Answer me!" He asked Aeneas with tears in his eyes. "Why would you spend years changing Nuae's identity? And no, no one sent us." Aeneas replied with a bit serious tone. "Ohh why means? I am the infamous Nuae, the sacred swordsman, the hope of people, hero oh hero, call me anything that suits." Listening to this everyone's expression went pale. "no no no no, Nuae is a girl, right? You aren't that? Stop with your bullshit and tell us where is she!" Aeneas grabbed his collar and asked in anger. "Funny! I told you I am Nuae. Even I hate the fact that my name is of some girl. See this crest, it's not something you get, it's what I earned through my work." He replied Aeneas while pointing towards the crest on his coat. Looking at the crest Vivian replied with awe, "It surely is Lamorra's crest, but seems different. Why is there a crow on your crest?" She asked him out of curiosity. But instead of him, Aeneas replied, "Because that's the crest of Killer Fraction of the forces of Lamorra kingdom." He put him down. "So you really are Nuae! We need some safe place to talk, but it's about demons and stuff." Theodore said so looking at Nuae. "Demons! Finally, some worthy bugs to kill!" He replied and continued, "Then let's get to that tavern then." "Are you mad? There will be many people there. Only stupid ones would consider going to such crowded places." Vivian complained to which Nuae replied with a laugh, "Missy, it's the only place where no one gives a shit about anyone. No one will eavesdrop or interfere. Everyone is unknown to anyone there. That's Noore's tavern for you." Saying this he pushed on a brick in the wall and suddenly a flash of light covered everyone's sight. In a flash, they were sucked into the wall and thrown out inside the tavern. "What? You thought it'd be just like any other ordinary taverns?" Nuae laughed it off. After they entered everyone was looking at the surroundings suspiciously, "Hey! Aren't taverns supposed to be loud and dirty and chaotic? How come this place is so quiet and clean?" Theodore asked after hesitating a bit. To his question Nuae pointed towards women at the corner of the tavern, who was holding a guy to his collar and giving him a thrashing, "You come again with no money and shout like a baby chicken, I'm gonna skin you and feed you to the wild boars in the back whom I'll serve to every table you shouted. Now get the hell out of here." Hearing this all of the people felt a chill. "That's Noore, and no one messes with her. Let's get this way." Saying this he led the way towards a cabin. "Hey, Noore! Got some guests. Will ya come and see if they are treated well." To his shout, she replied with a shout, "Piss off!" And entered the kitchen, closing the doors with a loud bang! "Now, no one will interfere with us here. What is it that you want to talk about?" Naue asked to which Theodore replied, "We are looking for a dungeon in Northern territory, someplace where we can find something similar to this." Saying this he pulled out the first shard he received from Eleanor. "No way I'm gonna help you with that! It is a bloody shard and not any normal one to that. This is 'Tear of Oizys!"
