Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 24: New Year could be another new beginning (Part 02)
|Author POV|
The day has changed, and so has the new day at the beginning of the year. Inside his room, Odo Luke was still busy writing official letters. The time needed is more than he expected, writing a letter with words that can captivate each party of the intended agency is not as easy as the child thought black hair.
“Akh, dizziness also turned out to make a letter like gini ...”
Finished writing the last letter he needed, Odo put down the pen and closed the mangsi container. Putting all of that into the drawer, he took up the stack of finished written letters and put them into the Dimension Bracelet. Taking off the dirty shirt full of ink stains, Odo threw it on the bed.
He walked to the closet and took another outfit. “Ah, no need to take a shower,” her mind while wearing the white shirt she took. The reason Odo does not shower is not only lazy, but also because of the cold winter that still lasts until the next three or four months at the beginning of the year.
Stretching his legs and hands, the boy smoothed his black hair with his hands. Taking out the fire magic crystal from the Dimensional Bracelet, it absorbed its contents until the magic crystal was shattered into ashes. That method was sort of taking supplements for Odo, performing the absorption of vitality to cultivate the Magic Core gradually without having to always do meditation.
After picking up the dirty shirt from the bed, the boy walked out of the room and intended to head to the back room to put it into the laundry pile. But just coming out of the room, in front of the door stood Julia who had looked neat in her uniform. The servant girl put on a friendly smile, looking at Odo with clear intention to block the tertiary from the look in her eyes.
The silver-haired cat girl moved both of her cat ears as Odo put on a reluctant gaze. “Good morning, Sir. Where to go early in the morning, huh?” he said, bowing a little respectfully. The woman's smile was clearly another point, Odo realized that and made her put on a lazy face.
“Eng ..., to the back. Want to put this,” said the boy while showing dirty clothes in his hands. “If Ms Julia ..., what do you want this early in the morning? This ... only four o'clock .. still dawn,” he continued while handing dirty clothes to Julia.
“Yes, I expected you to wake up at dawn like this, Mind told me,” Julia said as she received the dirty clothes, then smiled and looked as if hiding her anger.
It was frightening to Odo, that tertiary smile made the child's instincts slightly stiffen. Sighing lightly, the black hairdresser started walking in the hallway while saying, “Then, come on! We go to the back room first, it's out the way ..”
“Walk out?”
Julai looked confused hearing that. But when he thought back to those words, the cat girl understood what the child meant to go for a walk. With a light smile, Julia followed Odo to go put the dirty clothes in her hands.
At that time Julia forgot to look at her master's room and make sure what else the boy was doing all night. Right in Odo's room there was actually nothing strange, except for a few sheets of parchment paper with magic circles and magic structures that could be said to be very complicated. It was the result of research that Odo interspersed with during the making of the official letter overnight.
.

.
Finished putting dirty clothes in the back room to be washed by Imania on duty that day, Julia and Odo went to the front yard. Walking past the side porch, for a moment the boy stopped his footsteps and turned back.
Julia who followed also halted her footsteps, surprised the bulging child gave an unusual sharp look. “A-What's up, Mr Odo? Why are you suddenly staring like that,” he said with a little panic. Odo's gaze was like that of a ferocious monster stalking its prey, feeling sharp and deep.
“Why does Sister Julia follow me? If Ma'am Julia wants to limit me, I can be angry for a long time, loh .... Time to stay ...” Odo looked away and stopped the words, his gaze as if he was in trouble and in a hurry.
“What's up, Mr Odo?”
“The time is very limited,” said the boy while staring at Julia. “Did Sister Julia hear of the Queen's death?” ask the boy, sighing a little.
“Ya ..., I know it from Fiola.” Julia looked down, put on a slightly moody face and said, “It is unfortunate that she died at such a young age .... Queen Dalia is a very nice person, I did not expect her to leave so soon.”
Odo momentarily fell silent when he heard Julia say that with a sad face. A person who died in the age range of more than forty years could indeed be said to die young, understanding that there was little that made the child curious. “What is Ma'am Julia close to Queen?” asked Odo while throwing a sharp look.
“Not really .... I only spoke to him a few times when Mr. Dart and Mrs Mavis were still in the Royal Family Palace of Felixia.”
“Ah, so that's the reason for Dad and Mom's retirement letter from the Capital, yes,” Odo's mind when he heard that.
Turning back to the front, the boy said, “The Queen's death could result in the political balance of the Kingdom of Felixia faltering. Although this country already has the Prince and Princess as the heir to the Throne, but the conflict must have occurred because the Princess is still not old enough ..” Odo walked back, as did Julia who followed him.
“You mean the political strife that might occur as King Gaiel would have been King a few decades ago? If not wrong, because the most powerful candidate is King Gaiel so no one protested. But ...”
“At the back there is a hot dispute,” Odo continued.
Julia nodded. True as the black hairdo said, white on black is indeed no information that clearly shows the dispute and battle. But in the economic movement and the dissemination of relations between the nobles, there was clearly a dispute.
Restrictions on the sale of basic goods, forced increase in prices for parties that do not comply with the coalition, and various other things were done to bring each other down in the eyes of the royal government overseer held by the Archbishop who is now centered on his supervision in the City of Miquator.
“Terus you want what? Not if according to the custom of the Kingdom, the Princess will be the next Queen when her age is ready. Moreover, now King Gaiel still occupies the throne,” Julia said as she sped up her footsteps and walked beside Odo.
“Absolutely anyone who agrees on that? Isn't this country's supreme power in the Queen's hands? When the Queen is gone, automatically the authority of the King obtained from the Queen will collapse. It could result in the nobles starting to rush to get the Princess ..., because with that surely their family would definitely become the next King if they could marry her.”
Julia's footsteps came to a halt when she heard that, her face widened to look at Odo. Realizing the girl was surprised, the black hairdresser came to a halt while asking, “What's the matter?”
“Do-don't ... You want to marry the Princess?!”
Odo felt serious regret waiting for Julia's reply, the boy's gaze turned flat and looked unconcerned. “Malas is doing such a shitty thing .... I'm still a kid, Julia .... After all, if I want to get married I want to be with the person I love .... Not because of dirty things like politics.”
The boy put his foot back forward. Julia who briefly saw Odo's expression was surprised, the child actually showed a face dissatisfied with something and also a sense of annoyance.
Returning to follow the boy, Julia asked, “Now where do you want to go? Don't tell me that going to the Capital and doing something to prevent a possible dispute within the national sphere?”
“Of course not, I want to go to the coastal city. Ah, the official name of Mylta City, yes ..”
Julia's mouth was momentarily shut until her lips came in upon hearing that, an uneasy feeling began to feel in her mind. When he reached the front yard, Odo's footsteps stopped and he turned to look at the cat girl. Staring sharply under the snowflakes that were slowly falling, the boy asked, “You are coming?”
“Eh, can?” Face lifted, the cat girl's mouth slightly opened with a cheerful expression that was clearly visible on her.
“Of course .... But, first change clothes first. If I came to town carrying Madam Julia in a maid outfit like that, it would definitely attract the attention of the people there.”
Julia's face immediately beamed, she really did not expect the black haired child would become more open to her like that. Rotating once with the right foot as a pedestal, the silvery-haired cat girl said, “Wait for me, yes! Mr. Odo, I want to go back first and come back in the best clothes ...”
“Ah ..., is Ma'am Julia listening to me? Later can attract attention ..., just wear the usual. Shirt or something ..., no need to be magnificent ...”
“Eeeh!?” Julia's face immediately looked disappointed, her ears were limp and her tail was agitated. “That's your mah who often wear the shirt continues, I don't have a shirt. Clothes other than the waiter uniform that I have is only a type of dress or blouse,” he continued while staring.
“Ah, whatever .... Hurry up, I told you that time is limited, Ms. Julia.”
“Ya, yes!” said the girl cheerfully. Looking at Julia's level of behavior, Odo really does not believe that the woman is more than half a century old. “Padahat older than Father and Mother, but Ma'am Julia's attitude still ..” Odo's mind while a little sigh.
As Julia went inside the Mansion to change her clothes, Odo walked towards the park bench and sat down limply. His body shivered slightly as he felt the coldness of the bench. Closing his eyes for a moment, the boy briefly thought back to his plan. In his mind he did not want to do such troublesome things, but he himself realized that all of it must be done in order to survive and protect what he has now.
“Everything feels troublesome, I want to stay in the library and read as much books or sleep ...”
Despite complaining like that in his mind, Odo always did something different to what he wanted. Whether it was going on an expedition or what it was going to do now, the boy did not really want from the bottom of his heart to do all those things.
Not long after, Julia's carefree voice sounded, “Sorry long wait, Young Master!” Odo opened his eyes, glancing flatly at the source of the voice.
The silver-haired woman wore a dark red blouse that had lace on the part of her arms that expanded, and around her neck. In subordinates, he wore long underpants until his knees were tied with a short skirt of the same color as the top.
At first glance Odo was stunned when he saw the appearance of a different Julia, he again realized that the silver hair woman was indeed very beautiful. Because Odo had been with her for a long time, she had forgotten that Julia was indeed very alluring more than she understood.
Slightly inhaling and closing his eyes, the boy muttered, “Delete.”
“Hmm, did you say anything, Mr Odo? Hows it? Are there any comments on my appearance?” Julia turned around, showing off her appearance from the front and back. His tail was curved, forming a question mark when he saw that Odo was just putting on a flat gaze.
“Hmm, hmm, I guess .. passable.”
That doesn't sound like a compliment at all. Without saying anything, the boy got up from the seat and dried his pants wet from melting snow with temperature-regulating magic. Turning with a flat gaze, Odo began walking towards the main gate without giving any other comment on Julia's appearance.
“I'll run, don't miss, yes .... Ma'am Julia can also run with clothes like that, ‘kan?”
“EEh? Run? Not using the car?” tanya confused the woman until her eyebrows twitched.
“Ah .... I thought it would be like this ..”
Odo walked up to Julia, then looked at the woman lazily up close. Holding the cat girl's right hand, she began to increase her magic pressure and activated lightning attribute magic.
“Halilintar .., it is part of the world component, cloud-covered weather. Myself and his body are part of the world, our bodies leave to the lightning that merges with the sky. Save us by his will ...”
From Odo flows lightning into Julia's body. Blue lightning enveloped them quickly, shining brightly and melting the snow that fell towards them. Feeling the warmth of the lightning, a glimpse of Julia's face blushed as her body was wrapped in Odo's magic.
“It's a speed-up magic, should Ma'am Julia be able to run as fast as me .... Well, it's easier to use thrower magic, anyway. But ..., I haven't been able to share that magic continuously ...”
“Switch hurling? Split?” Julia was completely confused, such a field of magic was really not her forte.
“Already, let's go .... Don't be left behind, yeah .... The distance of this magic connection can be divided only about 50 meters ...”
Odo turned around, then warmed up with a slight jump. “Come, Sister Julia.” Without saying any more, he immediately ran extremely fast with his body covered in blue lightning. Still confused, in the end Julia ran after the child.
At that moment, the cat girl only realized how great the magic that Odo shared with her was. The acceleration of lightning is not only physical, but the mind also seems to accelerate when enveloped in magic. The reason it can happen is because the electrons flowing in the body stimulate the body's cells and sensors, which also makes the magic can be shared with others.
“He-Great .... Magic like this is amazing. Why could Mr. Odo use this complex magic ..”.
While running after Odo from behind at high speed and through the existing footpaths, Julia really did not feel tired or anything like that. Even he felt his legs were very light and his mind was working very quickly following the performance of the body which was also increasing.
After running for a few minutes through the path route, they decided to enter the forest and hills because of the demand of Odo who wanted to speed up the journey. It did not take more than an hour from the Mansion, they finally arrived near the Coastal City which should take up to two hours more if the trip using Drake. They stopped a few meters away from the desolate entrance gate and the lightning that enveloped the body disappeared.
Odo reached into the pocket of his trousers, then took out a letter made of paper with a royal government stamp. Opening it at a glance, the boy made sure there was nothing wrong with what was on the paper.
“Young Master ..., the?” julia asked when she saw Odo checking the letter.
“Oh, this is a letter .... What else is it?”
“Why .... can there be an official stamp .... government? Don't say ..., you ..”
“Hmm, I made it.”
“Pe-Fraud! You could be punished if you do that, you know!”
Putting the index finger in front of the mouth, Odo said, “If it is not caught, it is not a crime. That's common logic, Miss Julia.”
“Eeeeeh?!”
“Eat us plotters, yes. Sister Julia also has to interfere, yes.”
“Eeeeeeeeeeh?!” The cat girl's face was completely twisted.
Afterwards, using the letter and pretending to be an envoy from Luke's territory government, they entered through the main gate of Mylta City. The guards who saw the official stamp could not prevent them, and indeed among the guards there were those who had known Julia because the woman was basically famous in the area around the Mansion.
There was actually no reason for Odo to pretend like that to be able to enter, basically, he was also famous for the news about the Dragon Killer and himself who was the son of a Marquess who controlled the region was already spread. The reason Odo used the letter to pretend to be a government envoy of the Kingdom of Felixia was only to ascertain whether the other letters were stamped or not.
Entering the port city, the white landscape and the frozen artificial lake near the hall greeted them. All that was not much different when the last time Odo came to the place, just look thicker blunt snow-snow on the road and roof of the building because last night snow fell quite heavy.
“Gentleman where you really going? If not wrong, there is also news that Mr. Odo often stopped by this city. What are you doing here?” ask the cat girl as she moves her tail. He looked agitated, his right hand clasped tightly to the left hand and his eyes glanced right-left.
Odo's footsteps came to a halt, turned around and stared flat at Julia. “Why is Sister Julia so nervous? Want to be slaughtered or what?” ask Odo flat.
“Eh? Sembe—! Not that! .... It's just that I'm not good at walking in a city like this.”
“Not Ma'am Julia often shopping weekly for kitchen affairs?”
“It ...” Julia looked away, then said, “I leave it to Minda.”
Odo stared flatly hearing that. “Indeed, Sister Julia's .... Now it is still cold, but Mbak even skimpy clothes like that ...” Odo turned around, then began to walk again on the snow-capped stone path. Feet with leather sandal pads while on foot singleness imprint clear because the snow melts, the temperature emanated from the child seemed to get rid of the cold that attacked him.
“If it's about my clothes, I don't think it's a problem. I have installed heating magic like the one installed on the coat of Young Master.” The girl followed. Odo just glanced flatly hearing that, he was not surprised because indeed Julia had very high fire element attribute control.
“Why that time when falling into the lake do not just use that magic,” Odo's mind while glancing back at a glance. He did not mind such a thing, his mind was full of what to do now.
Walking no more than fifteen minutes inside the city, they finally arrived in front of the Inkara Orphanage. Standing outside the fence of the Gothic architecture building, Julia's face looks like familiar with the place. His eyes were slightly wide open, like being wide with a place that turned out to be his footsteps.
“What Does Sister Julia know this place?”
“Hmm, know .... This ....”
“Then, let's go in ...”
Odo opened the wooden gate, then stepped into the courtyard. Julia had hesitated to come in, but in the end she still stepped following the boy even though in her mind she felt unsettled. Odo knocked on the wooden door of the orphanage, and not long did someone from inside answer, “Ya, briefly ...!” Julia slightly gasped at the sound.
The door of the orphanage opened, Julia's eyes immediately crossed with Siska who opened the door. The cat girl quickly looked away, as if reluctant to stare because of the guilt in her mind.
Odo realizes Julia's passion, but he doesn't care much about it. Odo knew what was going on between Siska and Julia, it was a matter of disagreement between the two men while following the selection of the Shieal Branch Family appointment held by the Luke Family.
“Yes, if only Sister Julia had not been recommended by Father, it would have been Sister Siska who is now Shieal at the Mansion .... The level of competence ..., higher than Ms. Julia, anyway.”
Odo sighed a little while imagining that the one who nurtured him was Siska if the thing he was thinking about happened. Staring at the blonde-haired nun, Odo asked, “What is Siska's sister now free?” The pale-skinned woman slightly flinched, immediately looking at Odo.
“Ya ..., relax, really. Last night the new year ceremony at the main place of worship was finished ...” The smile that appeared on Siska's face looks forced, the annoyed glare really fleeting he gave Julia.
“If others, are they inside?” asked Odo regardless of the unfriendly situation between the two people.
“Eh ..., oh .... If the children .., they are still sleeping in the room. It is still very early morning .., Mr. Odo ..”
Hearing that, the hairdresser realized that Siska was still wearing her white pajamas with a brown ribbon around her neck. Looking back, the child was only really aware that the outside still looks quite dark. The child's visual perception had changed slightly since he had absorbed the Black Dragon Magic Core, the difference between dark and light for Odo was slightly different to most people.
The atmosphere became silent as Odo stopped talking, Siska's gaze sharpened again and clearly pointed at Julia. Gaining such a gaze, the cat girl could only fall silent and bow her gaze guiltily.
What happened between them was not something Odo could camp or lerai. Pulling slowly the waist of Julia's skirt, Odo asked, “Mbak ..., no need to feel guilty. Opportunity obtained is not something that can be regretted, even though it is from stepping on the expectations of others. If Mbak Julia feels sorry to be Shieal, then it's the same as Ma'am Julia does not appreciate the decision Father recommended Mbak Julia ..”.
Julia and Siska were shocked to hear these words. “A-Do Mr Odo know the problems that exist between us ...?” ask Julia.
“Ya .., I know. In the archive there is data on the test results of Ms. Julia and Ms. Siska .... After all, Ms. Julia had told me that she still had a little regret not being able to be chosen as Shieal ..”
“It ... because I need you both, this place and this city ...”
The look on the boy was deep, sharp and heavy. His blue eyes seemed to look far ahead, looking at a scene that only he could see alone.
“Then, let's go in first .... Talking at the door like this is not good. Ma'am Siska, can we come in, right?”
“Ya ..., of course. Mr. Odo can go inside, kok ..”
It was as if she would not let Julia in. But not caring about it, Odo took the cat girl beside him and stepped inside to have a conversation.
.
.
.
Sitting in the dining room that was also used to receive guests from the orphanage building, the atmosphere between them still clearly felt sharp and inhospitable. Sisik continued to stare unhappily at Julia who was sitting across the table, while Odo who was sitting next to the cat girl could not do anything to break the tension that existed between them.
Sighing slightly, the black hairdresser pressed the Dimension Storage bracelet in his right arm, then shifted the structure of the space to access the other storage space. Pressing the rune on the surface of the bracelet, a stack of parchment paper came out from the storage dimension and Odo placed it onto the table.
Seeing that Julia was completely wide-eyed, the cat girl had only seen Odo for the first time using such high-level dimensional magic. “Tu-Tuan ..., that ..., the magic tool was a storage dimension artifact?” ask Julia to panic.
“Hmm, indeed. I created and developed it ..”
“AA! Ka-Then ..., why also you ask the cart to transport the goods during the expedition .... If there is it ...”
Odo stopped looking at Julia, he threw a glance at the corner of the room and sighed slightly. “I don't trust you completely, so I don't use this bracelet,” Odo said. At a glance the boy's eyes glanced towards Siska across the wooden table.
The atmosphere inside the room with classical Gothic architecture became silent, the cold wind that entered through the sidelines of the black brick wall until it sounded. Odo took a deep breath and again sighed, staring flatly at Julia who looked a little struck when he heard she was not trusted by her own master.
“That I don't believe is another Shieal, I believe in Julia. That's why I brought you here ...”
“Why don't you trust us? Though ... we ..”
“I know Sister Julia and the others are very loyal to Mom and Dad .... But, that loyalty is only for them, not for me...” Odo began to sort through the parchment paper pile on the table, then split it into three different piles. “If I use dimensional magic like this, Ms Julia will definitely tell Mom, right?” continue the child.
“Of course .., he would be happy if Mr. Odo could already use such high-level magic!” julia said with passion.
Odo stopped his hand, glancing flatly at the words of the cat girl. “I've guessed ..., Sister Julia doesn't understand,” said Odo while again sorting parchment paper on the table.
“Ke ... napa indeed ..?” Does Mr Odo not want Mrs Mavis happy?”
“Mbak Julia knows ..., Mother is actually afraid of me .... She was afraid of her own child who was very deviant and did not look like these children ..”
Julia and Siska were surprised to hear that. Slightly different from what Siska felt that she really did not expect Odo's words, Julia was vaguely aware of why the black-haired child felt that way.
“Since childhood Mr. Odo has never been close to Madam .., even he has only suckled once .... What because it ... Mr. ..”
The cat girl's gaze was full of pity, glazed, and she began to understand why Odo had a slightly different and distorted nature when compared to a child her age. Julia quickly got up from the wooden chair, then hugged the black haired child from the side.
“What's up, Sister Julia? I'm tracking—“
“Sorry ..., I cannot understand Mr .... Though I am the person closest to you, but ..”
Odo slightly glanced at Siska, the nun's gaze felt even sharper when he saw her hugged Julia. As the cat girl released a hug, immediately Odo pressed down on the Dimensional Bracelet and took out a fire attribute magic crystal that emitted a bright red light.
Glacial up! The crystal Odo put on the table. Seeing what he put out, Siska and Julia were once again shocked. They both knew what it was, the bright light and the powerful magic radiance told them very clearly.
Siska stood up and bowed her body to the table, observing the magic crystal up close without daring to touch it. “I-It ... Best Quality Crystals!! No more storms .... Why did Mr Odo take this out?” he said with a trembling tone.
“Young Master ..., actually what you want to do .... If there's something like this, it's not the expedition ..”.
“Not necessary?” connect Odo. The boy stared flatly at the cat girl standing beside him. “What does Sister Julia know what is the most expensive in the world?” asked Odo with a flat look.
“.... Life, life is the most precious. Do you not value life ...., whether it is your own life or the lives of others? Why you should do the expedition when you already have this .... If this crystal is sold in Miquator City, we can be sure all the debt of this region ..”.
Odo briefly closed his eyes, digesting the answer Julia gave. Returning to open his eyes and stare, the sluggishly seated child said, “ Him is also precious, but it is not the most even .... The most expensive in the world is trust, more than anything ...”
“Trust ...?”
“Yes, trust. Sister Julia and Ms Siska have also been bitterly experienced events that make you understand that trust is very expensive, right? The past ..., and the hope for the future ... Relationships, relationships ..., and what will be gained from it ...”
The words really made Julia shut up and made Siska a little down contemplated. What Odo says is true, belief is what gives meaning and value to something. Julia gets the trust of Dart Luke, which is why she can become Shieal despite losing in terms of competence from Siska. In contrast to her, Siska could not get what she wanted because of her lack of trust.
Not only that, but the economic system and social order also come from trust. Both of them are aware of this reason, the king will not become a king without the trust of the people even though he becomes a legitimate descendant. Coin money will not be a medium of exchange if the public does not approve and trust the coin as a medium of exchange.
“Trust gives value to something.”
Reaffirmed, Julia immediately sat back for and lowered her head with a strange feeling in mind. He began to understand the real reason for the expedition, Julia understood that it was only to check the loyalty level of the Shieal.
“Mr Odo, there is actually any interest in what you come here?” ask Siska.
“I just want to ask Ms. Siska to take me to meet the Mayor of this place. I ... would like to see Baron Argo Mylta and ask him a few things...”
Odo placed his right palm on the table, then smiled knots at Siska. In the eyes of the boy felt a burning fire full of enthusiasm that he did not show from earlier, full of ambition and clear goals.
“Whatever ... what do you want after meeting Mr Mylta?” ask Siska.
“I want to make a private trading venture in this city ...”
Sisik and Julia were once again taken aback by the words of the black hairdresser. Everything Odo did became increasingly clear, what he had said about investment, magic crystals at the very high price that exist now, he said, and some other preparations the boy did for what he said.
“But before that ..., I want Sister Siska to do this magic crystal assessment. About ..., what is the price?” the black-haired boy asked as he raised the red magic crystal that was more than one fist in size. When Odo handed her to the blonde across the table, he hesitated to take it.
“Nothing ..., just take it.”
“Hmmm, why did you ask me to do this crystal assessment? Not ....”
“Mbak Julia can't do the magic crystal assessment, and I don't want to ask Ms. Xua Lin. I explained it earlier, didn't I?” said Odo firmly.
Siska took the crystal. “Weight .... Probably about three to four kilograms ...,” the mind of the blonde woman. Starting to close his eyes, he poured Mana into the crystal to measure the level of magic density. The red crystal glowed brighter, then dimmed back.
“So, about what it is worth ...”
“Eng ..., Mr. Odo .... Actually you got this crystal out of nowhere .... The content is very ...”
“So, how much is it worth?” tanya Odo.
“.... That ..., maybe ... one gram is up to 500 Rupl more .... And also, with a weight like this ...”
Siska's face paled slightly imagining how expensive the crystal she was holding was. Hearing the assessment of the blonde woman, Julia who was sitting next to Odo also paled her face. Unlike them, Odo simply put on a flat face and took out another crystal from the Dimensional Bracelet.
“Haaakh ...!!”
“AKH ...!”
Siska and Julia's breath was congested to see another magic crystal Odo released. Its size was indeed no larger than the magic crystal Siska was holding right now, but it could clearly be expected that the crystal was also of the Best Quality.
“Tu-Master Odo! How many you have .... Moreover, where can you get rare crystals like this!?” ask Julia to panic.
“From land acquisition in Astral World ..”
“Pem—“
“World Ast—“
They were really scared to hear that. Although they did not understand what was really happening there, but they knew that the Astral World was indeed rich in the Best Quality magic crystals because the dimension was full of mystical power. Basically a magic crystal is a form of Ether crystallization, fossilizing along with natural processes and forming a natural magic crystal. This method is different from the formation of what the monsters or magic animals have.
“After doing this assessment, I also want to ask for some other things on Mbak Siska,” said Odo casually.
“Eeeeeh?! There's more?” Siska really looked anxious hearing that.
“I want Mbak Siska to introduce me to the blacksmiths in this city .... I want to do some experiments, therefore I need someone to make the medium.”
“Ya ..., I do have a blacksmith acquaintance .... But it's winter now, you know. Most blacksmiths close because of the existing cold temperature definitely affects the quality of forging results ..”
“Let's just relax, I'll order later when the snow has stopped falling in spring or summer .... Now the important thing I know first ..”
“Ya ..”.
“And one more.”
“Still there?!” Siska really looks panicked.
“I want to know the local handyman and trader in this city ...”
“Eh ..., if that I have no acquaintance. I am a puritan, a merchant and a handyman tend to be close to money or something, so be it...”
“Ya already, I'll find it myself .... For now, please estimate the value of that crystal and help me take care of these letters ...”
“Hmm, what is that letter, Mr Odo?” ask Julia.
“Letter for cooperation and others ...”
“Don't tell me it's for ..”
“Ya, to create a relationship and open a sales route .... Of course by utilizing my authority as someone who has a strong connection with the government.”
“Li ... slick ...”.
