Chapter 193: Infiltration... Success! (1/2)
Soon, the bright light covering their vision dissipated, revealing a huge spacious hall with a huge circular runic formation that spans twenty meters in diameter and has ten pillars around it with Magic Crystals on top. The runic formation emits a bluish light—similar to the runic formation in one of the rooms in Karakoa.
The hall was closed with concrete, where it's ceiling is curved—resembling the insides of a Cathedral but with equally wide sides. At the same time, the pillars and walls that reinforced the whole building had an intricate design carved on them.
Everyone can't help but gasp in amazement. They were mesmerized by the simple but elegant design of the Tarala Kingdom's teleportation platform. Add up the bluish light emitted by the Magic Crystals and Runic Formation, it was truly a sight to behold.
However, before they could even take as many 'vision shots' as they can, two guards approached them—fully equipped with armor, a shield, and a sword made out of steel. Then, they unsheathed their swords—prepared to attack everyone any second, and said, ”This is the domain of King Sakazar Tarala! Identify yourselves, else, face the power of the mighty Tarala Kingdom!”
In reaction, Everyone's hands landed on the top of the handles of their swords, and they were ready to draw them any second. Fortunately, at this moment, Pedro raised his left hand—commanding everyone else to relax and to stand down. Then, he took out the badge that Meerak Axutar gave him beforehand and raised it with his right hand for the two fully armored guards from the Tarala Kingdom to see.
”We mean no harm brave soldiers!” Pedro said, ”I am Aron Death, the Captain of the Karakoa Fleet from the Bearth Human Organization. I personally come to this Kingdom to request an audience to your King! I have some important matters to discuss with him as soon as possible!”
”Bearth Human Organization?” One of the two guards uttered in confusion. Then, he glanced to the other guard, and asked, ”Then, why do you have a village chief's badge? And from what village is that badge from?”
Pedro can't help but scratch the back of his head. Then, he forced out a smile and said, ”The village chief of Axutar Village is a good friend of mine. So, he gave me his badge after learning that I am heading towards this Kingdom.”
”Axutar Village…” One of the guards pondered for a few seconds before glancing towards Pedro, saying, ”The village on the other side of Baliu Mountain?”
Pedro simply nodded in response. However, the two guards were still not a hundred percent convinced that Pedro was from Bearth Human Organization. Thus, the two guards nodded to each other in response.
One of them went back to the hallway that led to the entrance of the teleportation hall. While one of them remained on guard—hindering everyone from going out of the said teleportation hall.
The guard gripped his sword tightly with his perception activated at its maximum limit. This way, he would be able to hold of everyone and stop them from going out of the teleportation hall.
”Forgive me, young sir! But there are rules we need to follow regarding this matter. My brother called our Head to verify your claims. I hope that all of you could wait peacefully until they return.” One of the guards of the teleportation hall explained to everyone.
”Okay.” Pedro simply nodded with a smirked towards the remaining guard. Then, after a few seconds, his demeanor changed into a calm and cold, and said, ”I'll be considerate. I would give you a chance. But… If they did not arrive before night falls, then… I could only head to the Royal Palace by force.”
The guard could not help but force out a smile in response. He knew that he might be stronger than Pedro and everyone else if he was to fight them one by one. However, it would become a different issue if he would go against everyone else at the same time.
Fortunately, before anyone could say another word, two men were running from the entrance of the teleportation hall. Their metal armors made a clashing sound that echoed throughout the enclosed space. At the same time, someone was grumbling—seemingly scolding someone, that echoed in that place.
”What the hell are you two doing?!” The voice of a man scolded. ”If the King knew about this incident, we would all be punished! Do you understand?!”
”Ehh? Sire Klader, what if those people were just fakes?”
”What the fuck are you saying? Do you badly want to face our ancestors already?! Remember this Sorzon, no person—not even the most cunning humans, would dare claim that they are from the Bearth Human Organization… if they were not really part of it! That organization is built with the strongest humans all over the world. And if they wanted to… or if they deemed needed to be done, a single fleet from them would be enough to graze our Kingdom to the ground. That is the reason why no one dares to go against them. So… We must welcome them as best as we can, and not provoke them at any cost!”
At this moment, two figures of men appeared from the hallway. One of them was the same guard that approached Pedro earlier, while the other man wore no helm—exposing his handsome European looking face and his short black hair.
