Chapter 57: Aswad 4 of 15 “To Act” (Part 04)
Siska was speechless, looking confused as to what to answer. Seeing this, Nanra pulled on Odo's robe to make the young man turn his head. In a soft voice the girl said, “Mbak Siska and the teachers here are all purists, you see. They do not work and focus on serving ...”
“Ah ..”.
Odo momentarily fell silent, looked back at Siska and slightly breathed heavily. He understood the life patterns of puritans who tended to rely on funds from donations or government budgets. Most religious places are like that, it is natural in the scope of society.
“If the job you mean is to make money, we don't do it. For us it is forbidden ...” Siska weaves the fingers in front of the chest, then with great sincerity explains, “However, we often receive requests to heal the diseases or wounds of hunters. From that, we usually get an equivalent reply ...”
Odo smiled faintly upon hearing that, scratching his own left cheek and in his mind said, “Ukhti, oh ukhti .... Very diligent with the teachings ...”
“Hiiiik ...” The sound of thunder suddenly rang out from the sky, making the nun look down in surprise and make a sound like a horse whose tail was pulled. Aware of letting out a humiliating voice in front of Odo, Siska's face immediately turned red and immediately turned away.
“Can I ask you one more thing? The level of recovery magic used in this place what magic? If possible, just name it ...”
“E-Eng? Recovery magic ...? The most expert recovery magic user is Pastor Andreass, he can use special Druid magic, Blood Potion.”
Odo was at a glance surprised there was a city priest who could use such unique magic. Druids themselves are one of the castes of magic users who focus on the field of recovery and healing diseases, they tend to rely more on herbs and natural ingredients in practice, also called advanced degrees from a healer. Of all the abilities of people who reach the Druid caste, there are times when there are unique cases where their blood can turn into a medicine because they too often taste the herb when concocting Potions or drugs. That was what the Blood Potion meant, their blood could serve as an efficacious recovery potion.
Odo did not think too deeply about it, because basically his body also had similar characteristics like Blood Potion after receiving some Holy Tree seeds from Reyah. Staring at Siska's friendly, the young man again asked, “If Mbak Siska himself, what magic does Mbak Siska master the most?”
“Eng, I am not too recovery magician, my skills tend to be destructive light magic,” replied the woman with a little embarrassment. Destructive light magic is the same as divine magic for combat, in other words it can be classified into Cleric who is a puritan who fights on the front lines during war.
At a glance the atmosphere turned silent, there was only the sound of rain and rumbling heard. Trying not to discuss it because it felt less important, Odo immediately said, “Then, I go first .... There are things I have to do.”
“Eh? But ...” Siska was a little surprised, she stopped braiding her fingers and asked, “Now it is raining heavily. Not log in first?”
“No need, I remember there was an important need.”
“A-I also, I go first, Sister Siska,” Nanra continued.
Hearing that, Odo held the shoulder arm of the girl's clothes and pulled it out. Facing the boy to Siska, the young man with black hair said, “You stay here, there learn!”
“E-Eh? Odo ..” Nanra turned her head, her face paled and looked very reluctant to stay. In a soft voice he said, “I'm coming, yes. If I stay, I will be scolded.”
“Eng, I have my own needs. Inviting you will feel awkward later. You're here.”
Odo pushed Nanra closer to Siska, then picked up the sack of leaves he had placed on the floor and stepped out of the terrace of the Main Church. He stood under the heavy rain, but as the grains of water would fall onto the young man's body, an invisible protector brushed off all the falling water. It was like a dome-shaped air wall, faintly visible in the rain.
For a moment Siska and Nanra were surprised to see this, what Odo used was magic they had never seen before. But immediately understood this because the young man was the son of one of the best Magicians in Felixia Kingdom, Siska immediately focused on Nanra and said, “Nanra ..., let's go in.”
“Ta-But, I should also ..”
“A!Yo! Ma! Suk!”
“Ba-Well ...”

In the torrential rain, at one of the crossroads a blonde woman walked over with an anxious expression. He did not care about the rain that fell, nor his clothes that were wet and dirty from the mud. Accompanied by the black-brown woman who followed him behind, the Light Witch continued to walk from one street to another looking for Odo Luke.
Recalling what her son did last night, Mavis grew anxious and in her mind began to cry out in dismay. Bad shadows flashed in his head, making him even more limp and his footsteps began to slow down.
“Mistress, we'd better go back first .... If it is like this, you can get sick,” said Fiola while walking to follow the blonde woman.
“I won't be back before I find him! We've wasted a lot of time getting caught in the crowd at the dean of the store, it could be that Odo is now putting his life at risk again ...”
“Most not .... We wear umbrellas or something.”
“It will only slow down!” Mavis stopped her footsteps, faced the annoyed Fiola and snapped, “Are you actually trying to help me find him or not? You do realize that his existence suddenly disappeared, ‘kan? You can't even detect it anymore with the Inner Eye! Something must have happened to him!”
“Te-Remain course .... If Madam looks for it this way, it will only make you sick.”
“I don't care, my son's origin—!”
Mavis' words came to a halt, her face quickly beaming as she looked at the young man walking in the rain towards the business district. Seeing the change in expression, Fiola looked back and immediately put on an annoyed face when he saw Odo Luke walking leisurely carrying a sack in the rain.
Regardless of Fiola, the blonde-haired lady immediately ran towards her son and called out, “Odo! My son ...!”
Hearing the voice that called out to him, Odo turned his head and was a little surprised because he did not feel the air of his mother's existence. Mavis with haru continued to run, although slowly because she was wearing a long dress and the road was muddled. But as she was about to hug her son, she hit an invisible wall nearby.
Seeing that Fiola held his laughter back desperately, whereas Odo himself stared at the puzzled why the two of them could exist in such a place. Just realizing that the invisible northern wall he had installed could block the air of existence, the young man slightly turned his gaze away guiltily.

Ordoxi Nigrum, on the first floor of the shop building, all the members of the company gathered, except Arca and his two men who were having affairs in place of trade union people. In a room with crystal lighting, the atmosphere was heavy because of the annoyed gaze of a woman sitting on one of her desk tables.
After slipping and falling in a muddy puddle, Mavis Luke carried Odo back to the spot to clean his body. The clothes that the blonde woman was wearing now belonged to Isla who had just been bought, because indeed she did not bring any other clothes to change. However, it was not this that made him look upset.
Seeing Odo acting mediocre and giving directions to the people of the place, Mavis felt like an overprotective fool to her own son. While holding a cup of warm herbal tea, he stared intently at his son who was sitting at a different table.
Failing almost the same fate as her master, Fiola also changed her outfit to a plain brown dress borrowed from one of Odo's men. He held a glass filled with warm herbal tea, staring at the exasperated young man with black hair who always made the act.
“In addition to the Sculpture and the two Butlers, everything has finished your business, ‘kan?” ask Odo to those who stand before him. Unlike Mavis and Fiola, he does not need to change clothes thanks to invisible air protection that he wears when walking in the rain even though the back looks a little wet.
“Hmm, more or less everything is done, Mr. Nigrum,” Totto replied representing his family members.
Looking towards Matthew, the young man in black hair asked again, “What is my request as well? Everything already picked up?”
“It ...” Matthew hesitated to answer, he looked up a little and said, “For all the weapons I have taken in that place and are now in the attic, but for tents and such.”.
“Ah, the space is not there, yes?”
“Hmm ...” The blonde youth looked back at Odo, then anxiously replied, “I didn't pick it up and it's still in the woods.”
“I don't think it matters ...”
Odo briefly fell silent, holding his chin and thinking of a few other things. Closing his eyes for a moment and concluding in his mind, he picked up the sack containing the foliage he was looking for in the forest and placed it on the table. Opening the binder and showing its contents, the young man took one of its leaves.
With a shrewd look, the young man began to form the green teak leaves into a face. Showing that to Elulu and the women, he asked, “Can you make something like this? I want to make these leaves for the container sale later.”
They did know that the teak leaf container that Odo made was often used by traders of smoked fish, but that does not mean they can make it, but that does not mean they can make it, especially with the shape of the hermit that was on the palm of the young man's hand. Seling gazing at each other, Elulu and the Demi-human family were at a loss as to what to answer. They were a little afraid to say no after seeing the number of leaves Odo had gathered in the sack.
“Do not put on a face like that.” Odo smiled slightly thinly. He put the teak leaf container on the table, then took off his robe and folded it neatly to put it on his lap. While taking teak leaves again, he again made a container and said, “If you can't, you guys just learn. There is no harm in trying new things, after all this is easy, kok.”
Though doubts fill Elulu, Ritta, Mattari, and Isla's minds, they decide to try and sit down at the same table as Odo. Each of them took one teak leaf, watching closely as the young man made another container and trying to imitate. One to five of their experiments failed and the leaves were torn, but at the sixth experiment Elulu first succeeded.
In the next experiment, Isla succeeded, then continued to try and try until they all succeeded. It does not take up to an hour, all women who try to challenge the new thing master the manufacture of the simple container, even Sittara who is still a child can start making the container even though it is still not neat. It looks easy, but not entirely easy because it takes a passion to start new things.
When they were able to make it themselves without example, Odo moved from the place and gave his seat to little Sittara because he was standing. Breathing in slightly fretfully, he glanced towards Mavis who for an hour more kept staring intently at him.
“Don't get angry keep like that dong, Mommy ..”
Hearing that Elulu and the people who were making the teak container gasped, their hands came to a halt and their perception regained the existence of the Light Witch figure. Matthew, who was sitting at a different table and drinking herbal tea, choked, sweated and slowly turned his head. Totto who was sitting with the former bandit also trembled, glancing at the small without daring to turn his head.
“Be-He is really that famous Lady Mavis, huh?” ask Matthew.
“Hmm?” Odo looked at the Heterochromia-eyed man, then asked back, “I guess you guys already know that?”
“Indeed, hell ...” Matthew looked away, puzzled and in his mind wondering why such an important person was looking at his own son so upset.
Mavis again raised her glass, drank the cold herbal tea and said, “You are very familiar with them yes, My son.”
“Eng?” Odo stared, smiled slightly and replied, “Of course familiar, they have earned enough of my trust. Otherwise, where might I hire them.”
Mavis gritted her teeth, placed her glass hard on the table and looked up at her face. As if he had paid attention to it, the young man returned to wearing his robe and said, “Ah, is Mother cold? It was raining, anyway.”
The atmosphere became silent, the words seemed to douse the fire with gasoline. Fiola immediately stared in annoyance, wanting to immediately get up and reprimand the young man with black hair. But strangely, Mavis instead fell silent and looked at the astonishment of her son.
Feeling the atmosphere in the room, the blonde woman did feel that the place that Odo had built up was not a bad thing. It feels warm, full of trust in each other and alive. Seeing his son who had felt more talkative than when he was in the Mansion, a little envy appeared in the mind of the beautiful woman.
With a soft-sounding voice to most people, Mavis looked at her heart and asked, “What did you do?”
“So morning I went to the forest looking for leaves, then continued to install security in this city and some preparations,” replied Odo Luke lightly.
“What ... does it have to do with last night?”
