Several days had passed, including crossing the Star Country. Just like before, they will always stop by to just take a shower and eat and then go back on their way.
Furby as a horse that has more weight does not mind at all. Because, in fact Ryura knew how to take care of her even though it was very rare to make a sound. At least, that's enough for Furby.
Reychu and Rayan endlessly praised the natural beauty plastered before their eyes along the way. From the looks of it, the Spring Continent lives up to its name. The facts confirm that the land of this country is very fertile. Nothing grows well there.
Specialized Rayan. Several times he tried to persuade others to stop their journey for a moment just so that he could have a chance to find herbs that might grow more there. Seeing the many plants growing in this fertile land made Rayan drool because she was tempted to browse them all and find some plants that she could not get in the Southern Continent.
But unfortunately, Duan Xi refused the request straightforwardly without a second thought. The reason is quite reasonable. In reality, they were currently rushing on their way to the Sky Kingdom for the week-long festival held by the Great Emperor of this Southeast Empire. Which means, they do not have much time to stop at any place.
Moreover, Duan Xi did not have a private residence in this empire. His true residence was in the Northern Empire, so that was also the other reason he had rejected Rayan's wishes. They had to rent an inn upon arrival in the Sky country, so their time really could not be bothered anymore.
Rayan who understood that could only sigh in defeat and chose to make a schedule with Ruobin, that they would leave after the festival was over.
Ruobin did not refuse of course. If Ruobin says. "What's not for you, Rayan!" his tone was flirtatious as he said that.
While Reychu, since from the capital of the Wind Nation he continued to complain about his poor sleeping posture. He will reveal all his complaints about his sick body everywhere. It sounded noisy, but no one intended to serve it. Enough to know that it would be a waste, because basically Reychu's mouth is too bucket and it's not entirely because he really feels pain in his body. More so, because it's so hard to be quiet.
The evidence says from his reaction that he can relax easily as if he is very healthy. Even he could still joke with some sellers he met just for a discount. Of course, with Chi-chi trailing behind him without even turning away.
The rabbit demon liked him so much that he was so loyal.
Not felt, now they had arrived also in one of the cities before the capital of the Moon Country.
On previous trips, Furby had little to say about where she lived with her other relatives in the hidden parts of the Moon Country. It could be said that, the Moon Horse was the legendary horse of the Moon Country. The horse is an icon of the country. Also, the horse that became the identity of the Moon Country itself.
But, something happened. Certain people who were not from the Moon Country discovered their existence. Some of them thirst for power began to target the Moon Horse to be a pet. Unfortunately, as a horse that has its own way of thinking choose to save themselves by escaping as far as they can.
The news of the hunt quickly spread until the people who intended to hunt them began to grow. So, gradually the existence of the Moon Horse is no longer known.
The Moon Kingdom Emperor was furious once he knew that. He ordered his troops to arrest those who dared to steal his country's property and let them take their sins with torture before being executed.
Not only the search for the hunters, the Emperor also lowered the order to rediscover his country's treasure - the Moon Horse - in order to be returned to where he came from.
Not many know because this order includes a secret royal decree, some of the Moon Horses have been returned to their original places and the rest are still in search including Furby. But Furby doesn't know that.
Especially since the incident, the Emperor and his powerful men built protective walls throughout the region where the Moon Horse was located so that they were always protected. The wall manipulates the eye of the beholder, not only that the protective wall becomes visible. That must be very strong. From the outside they will only see the edge of a high and sharp cliff, to be able to enter it also requires the necessary spells in order to penetrate the protective wall.
However, the guard continues to run for the sake of security and comfort together.
Also in Shuwen City. One of the cities before the capital of the Moon Country.
When they got there, it was late afternoon. But, the crowd was inevitable just as they had encountered in the cities or villages before.
Pretty lively and magnificent. Lanterns and lanterns have been hanging even though they have not been lit. But that alone clearly shows the city's dedication to celebrating the upcoming war festival.
3Ry and his entourage agreed earlier that for tonight they would stay at one of the inns in the city. Their bodies that feel crumbling due to sleep crammed in the train car in a sitting position need relaxation. All of them intend to soak in a hot spring not far from the inn.
Just like what Duan Xi said and was justified by Ruobin. Both of them have been travelers, of course they know more.
Because the beautiful environment and rich in natural resources make it not difficult to find what is sought. For example, a natural hot spring in the corner of Shuwen city.
Brugh!
"Haaaaah... Legacy... This is true!" chirps Reychu after slamming his body into the bed in the room he currently occupies. Instantly he felt a looseness in the muscles of his body that tightened earlier.
The loyal Chi-chi beside him, smiles happily at him and moves up to lie down next to Reychu.
"Really! Tired of having to sleep like before. This is my first time. But, being with Chu-chu I don't feel any objection at all." Chi-chi said with all her sweet talk.
"Ulululu's... See who adores me so much?! I know how much I mean to you. Don't hesitate to praise me next time. I know I'm great." Proud of myself so easily.
"Yes, the greatest Chu-chu...!" pekiknya happy. Reychu laughed.
In the next room...
"Akhs... This is amazing. Haaah... For the first time I tortured my body like this." Duan Xi lamented as soon as her body touched the bed. He wriggled several times looking for a comfortable position after previously forcing his small body to sleep sitting on the train.
It was really uncomfortable for an old man like him.
He felt he needed to be rewarded for his patience in accepting all of that.
But something flashed through his eyes. It became sharp and hateful. "Huh! If it wasn't for that bet... I've had fun now while enjoying the festival celebrations later. It's all because of him! He is the cause of my suffering today. See later! I'll make sure I win that bet! That ugly disciple will lose at the hands of my outstanding disciple. Huh!" his anger is still there every time he is reminded of his enemy who always feels he is more above him just because he has many students while he does not.
Not wanting to burden his mind with the unimportant, Duan Xi chose to rest only his body and mind.
Shifted to the next room.
Nodding to agree with Ruobin's words. "certain. I'll call you, but for now I really want to sleep. My sleep patterns have been very poor these days. It was not good for my beauty." she said as she covered her face with both hands, the expression shown looking cute without being made up with lips raised.
"Haha... Sure did! All right, I'll leave you here. My room is next door. You just come and call me." explained Ruobin again who is now only embraced by Rayan did not forget her tired smile.
Randomized the top of Rayan's head for a while before finally leaving the inn room that Rayan occupied.
All of them occupy their comfort. But don't forget another pair.
That is, the horse and the rider.
Don't know what that expressionless girl is made of. Once you arrive and leave the train to a trustworthy person. The two of them went across several paths to somewhere.
It took an hour at the speed of the Moon Horse and it took 3 hours at the speed of an ordinary horse. When it is for pedestrians, it will take half a day to get there.
Where else if not the entrance where the Moon Horse lives.
Arriving there, Furby was quite surprised when he got even a towering cliff wall. But, a moment later he could feel that it was not really a cliff but a protective wall.
"It seems, our existence is still guarded and protected by the royal family." Furby telepathically looked up at how high the cliff wall looked after being manipulated.
Besides the height, the wall was also strong.
Ryura also stared at the cliff, tracing it with his gaze from end to end. No one can guess what he has in mind. Then, he jumped down from Furby's back and walked forward to want to touch the protective wall.
Ryura thinks the trick is great. He can feel it. This protective wall that resembled a cliff wall looked so real. When his hand touched the cliff wall, he could feel the dense texture of the ground along with the rest of the roots and rocks that really looked like real cliffs.
Without removing his palm from that protective wall, Ryura silently looked at him. I don't know what he's doing.
Furby could only see all of that. In fact, his strength wasn't big enough to be able to break through that protective wall. Furby could sense that this wall was made by some powerful and powerful people from the Moon Country. Thus, even though Furby was a legendary Moon Horse, it did not mean that he was able to do everything without any flaws.
Only, what he saw next was quite shocking to him.
A wave of ripples seemed to appear out of the place where Ryura's palm was. The ripple was similar to a water ripple when something fell into it.
Sontak Furby widened her eyes in disbelief. How can I believe it, when he alone cannot enter with his power that can be said to be stronger than Ryura. Then, what about Ryura himself?!
"Ryurais...! What the hell are you doing?! How can.." the sentence was interrupted so powerless to continue. Furby was too surprised. Ryura did not respond to the shock of the horse behind him at the moment.
When Ryura felt it was right, without removing his touch the other hand was stretched out toward Furby as a signal for the horse to approach and he could reach.
Still confused, Furby approaches as Ryura wishes.
As soon as the other hand was coiled around Furby's neck. The horse's body felt something flowing shaking every cell in its body starting from the tip of its muzzle and radiating throughout the body until it ended up in its tail and then vanished, spontaneously staring at Ryura by his side who did not care at all for what he was feeling.
While being led by Ryura, slowly the two began to step forward and penetrate the protective wall. Furby was even more shocked made so that he could not speak and just follow the steps of his human friend alone.
Before long, the two disappeared leaving behind a sturdy high cliff wall like before, as if no one had ever come to him.
Somewhere, a man was standing facing an open window. The buildings look small out there. Apparently, the man was in a tall building.
A wide back of a tall body figure wrapped in a black hooded robe covering his head was visible from behind. There was not the slightest gap to be able to see his face. His left hand held the same black sword sheath but had beautiful intricate carvings there and it also looked shiny, while his right hand was placed backwards as a noble behaved.
Drr...
Suddenly a tremor was felt from the sword he had. He stroked the sword as the tremors had disappeared without changing his position looking out the window, then a gentle, thin smile formed on his lips.
"He's close..."
Those three words he mumbled with all his heart. Without anyone knowing what it means.
