Chapter 222: Undying Loyalty (Part-4) (1/2)
Walking out of the royal palace nobody dared to stop them and went towards the stable to pick up a horse to ride.
Caretaker of the stable was a bald old man who politely greeted Antonio and Ava and curiosity glimpsed at Kai before taking his eyes away.
Kai didn't mind and smiled.
Sometime later, he brought out personal horses of the siblings which they mostly used to travel short distances.
Antonio and Ava got up on their horses and looked at Kai who just stood there as she reached out for her. But Kai politely rejected.
”I am good with walking my two feets instead of riding the horses.”
”Are you sure? I will take too much time and will lose the whole point of us riding the horse to drop you, if you walk on foot.”
While Kai was busy removing his black leather hoses and folding long sleeves of his pants and smiled at him,”Don't worry about that. I can move faster than these horses and may even reach there faster.”
Antonio and Ava didn't believe Kai and tried to convince him but before they could speak Kai was already gone with their hair dancing in the air.
Leaving them shocked.
After regaining his tyrannical body of peak magic King. There was no way he was going to miss the opportunity of using it again even if it's only for a few hours.
Kai knows it may have been rude of him to leave them behind but he knew that the conversation will go on if he has stayed behind.
It didn't even take him ten minutes before he got out of the royal residential area and casually walked towards the temple but for others he was a gust of wind passing by, unseen by naked eyes of people.
'This feeling is really great. Completely different from the feeling of enhancing the strength of my legs using magic to run.'
The surrounding was full of people doing their daily works. Carrying bags in the hand full of vegetables, others were opening and cleaning the front of their shops to get ready for business.
No one was aware that yesterday large amounts of mana bombs were found throughout the capital as the investigation was carried out secretly and carefully not to notify the terrorist and create panic among the people.
Kai had already read the notice that he had been caught by the guards on charges of theft which is a minor crime but it still affected Evaron reputation as a tour guide and on reaching never the temple.
He can already hear the woman's gossip and rumours about him but he ignores them.
All things will be clarified later by the guards on Altonio command.
Ten minutes later, he finally reached his destination.
[The old temple]
The temple didn't have any door with its entrance wide open all the time. Thick thorny vines were growing on the outer stone wall, reaching the roof with its roots cracking up the wall digging deep inside with tall grass surrounding the entrance of the temple and stepping inside.
The inside of the temple was no good, roofs had big holes from where sunlight was coming inside with shattered glass windows.
On the floor of the temple and the wall vines were intanging each other with colour flowers blooming throughout the temple.
Kai remembered that Evaron has tried many times to get rid of these vines but nothing seems to work.
Kai put a little strength in his feet and tried to press the vines but to his astonishment it didn't receive any damage and looked at the wood crafted god idol at the middle of the temple.
The idol was that of a tall man with thick hairs with a gentle smile with its right side covered in a mask and it's body covered by rag like clothes with both of its hands missing and its chest and legs cracked and covered in vines.
Some words were carved below the idol stand which no one can read till this date.
Looking at the idol Kai got a familiar feeling like he had seen him somewhere.
Slowing a lot of memories flowed into his head. These memories were of Vali as he closed his eyes and calmed his mind to digest them.
After Vali and Sunaya had reconnected with the origin system. If he requires their memories they flow into his mind.
A word resonated in his mind looking at the idol as he spoke out.
”Ludura.”
Ancient God of nature, knowledge and deception.
One of the great god of order factions during the dark ages.
