Chapter 119 Mysterious Grey Robed Man
The sewer Arthur dragged himself in wasn’t the most pleasing place, but the giants could not reach him there, which was good.
He wanted to look for a place to rest and recover from his injuries, so that he could leave, but using what passage? The only way out he knew had been blocked, so what other places he could use?
With that thought in mind, Arthur explored the sewer with steady steps. It was strange to be in a place like that. A sewer that looked a lot like the ones from his world. The rest of the city was the same.
“Could an entire city transmigrate to his world? Or did this world reach a similar level of technology before?”
There were lots of questions Arthur had no answer for, so the only thing he could do was keep and try to find a way out.
The sewer had murky water in the middle that Arthur wouldn’t dare touch it, and two platforms for him to walk in. He noticed small poops, which should belong to small animals, like rats.
“I hope there aren’t more beasts trying to kill me down here.”
Even from down there, Arthur could still hear the giants walking through the streets, looking for him, but as he walked further and further, the sounds stopped.
He had to make a few steps to rest, so it took him a long time to walk that distance, but it was worth it..
Arthur saw another ladder, and without options, he climbed it. It was a struggle for his injured self, but a ladder wouldn’t win against him. He pushed the sewer entrance to a side and went out.
The moment he walked out, Arthur saw it. Bodies were all over the place.
Bodies of dragons and giants. They were all dead, yet their bodies were still preserved. Seeing all those dead dragons made Arthur’s heart ache, and he had a feeling inside. A feeling of revenge.
He looked to all sides and noticed that the place did not have many buildings. Only a vast building that looked like a palace.
Once inside, the first thing that came into view was an immense wall with drawings and a story written in a lost language. Arthur couldn’t understand the language, but the images were clear as the day.
“This place… is a city built by the gods?”
Someone appeared from behind. An old-man wearing a gray robe.
“You aren’t supposed to be in here yet. Leave!”
The old man waved his hand, and a seal shot towards Arthur at an astonishing speed. In an instant, Arthur was not there anymore but in the entrance, where the rope was.
Everything happened so fast that Arthur was still in a daze.
“What is this?”
Near the magical pouch that always hanged on his waist, there was another one, but with a shiny color. Arthur used his consciousness to look inside it and was astonished.
There were lots of gold coins, weapons, and strange artifacts he had never seen. Two things inside that pouch caught his attention. A blue stone, and an orange one. Arthur did not know what they did, but a feeling inside of him was telling him that these were treasures.
Arthur put all of that aside, and flew, leaving the place. The youths he had met before were still in the entrance with worrying faces. They couldn’t leave without a treasure for their tribe, or else they would be expelled.
“Akhur! What… happened?”
Akhur, a strong celestial, had wounds all over his body, and his bones were broken. He was in a pitiful state.
“Turns out there wasn’t only one of that giant, but at least 30. After a tough battle, I’m here.”
He grabbed two weapons from his newly gained magical pouch, and a strange artifact that was basically a mirror.
“Here, take this. I found inside that place, so it should have value.”
“Thank you so much, Akhur. Would you mind coming with us to the tribe?”
Arthur smiled and followed them to their tribe. The speed of Arthur’s regeneration was so great that before they reached the tribe, he was all healed.
The youths saw his cuts closing, and his bones restoring, and that shocked them. A healing speed is visible. For them, only higher beings could have something like that, and all the doubts they had about Akhur vanished.
After walking for 2 hours, they reached the tribe. The warriors that watched everything from the surrounding towers saw the group of youths coming, and they instantly knew who they were.
But what about that strange man near them? And was he floating? The warriors quickly spread the word to everyone inside the tribe and waited for them to reach the gate.
“It is Nosh.”
Nosh was the grandson of Mohe, and also the son of the tribe’s current leader.
“Nosh, who is that young man near you?”
The warrior pointed at Arthur, who was floating and looking at others as if they were ants.
“This is Akhur. We met him down in the ruins. He saved us!”
“What?”
Akhur was a known name, but most people thought it was just a rumor and a legend. The warrior let all of them enter, and Arthur was sent directly to the leader’s house to have a talk, along with Nosh.
All the tribe members had strange gazes when watching that youth. He could fly, and they could feel the potent power hidden beneath those robes.
Arthur passed through the tribe until he reached a bigger house. Nosh went in first, and Arthur followed close behind.
They went to one room of that house, which had a table and 8 chairs. A bearded man was sitting there.
“Nosh, my son. I’m happy everything went well. Now, tell me, who is this stranger you brought to our tribe?”
“Father, this is Akhur. Akhur, this is my father, Tyee.”
“Akhur? The same celestial being my father went looking for?”
“Exactly, father. He also knows Mohe.”
“What? Tell me more about it.”
