The Seven Deadly Child
Capitals
(One day later. Ice Lotus City, Glaire Empire Capital)
"Wahhh…!!! The gate is this big?" Said Arthur. Seraya opened her mouth wide when she saw the grandeur of the capital's gate.
Like the capital of a great empire, the gate of Ice Lotus City was extremely majestic, this gate was connected to a stone fortress that surrounded the entire city, a huge rank and breadth the size of the Ice Lotus City, one could not even see the corner ends of this stone fortress.
At present, in front of the gate, there is a long queue of visitors who will enter the capital, these visitors are on average a group of traders, complete with their respective trading trains.
"The queue is long too!" Arthur cried then, having satisfied looking at the gate.
"Basic hick! Isn't that obvious! This is the capital!" Grunts Aria, starting to not bear to hear Arthur's babble.
"Hmm. You're why you always sucks! Is it your hobby to pout at others! You weird girl!" Arthur's snorting back.
"Keep what if I like to sneer? You don't like it? Do you think I care?" Reply Aria quickly.
"I'm a fool! I won't marry you tomorrow either! I just feel sorry for the man who's gonna be your husband!" Answer Arthur.
"You…!! Whatdidyou say! Try repeating again?" Aria began to appear emotional.
"You deaf or what? I said, I feel sorry for your future husband!" Said Arthur, in a rather loud tone.
"You….!!" Aria was about to reply to Arthur's words, but Arthur quickly added another sentence.
"Oh.. If I'm not mistaken, I've heard about you wanting Boss to marry you!" Arthur said, looking at Theo who seemed busy in the distance, asking for information about the whereabouts of House Braveheart.
"You know, I doubt it will happen! No man can stand your attitude! Even though the Boss of his person looks indifferent, still, he complains a lot about your attitude, right?"
"And I can tell you, Boss is quite a charming person, with a handsome face and all his talents, it would be easy for any woman to fall for him."
"Just wait, one day, there will definitely be a young girl who looks no less beautiful than you! But he has a much better attitude! When that time comes, let's see if the boss will still choose you!" Arthur said, now looks glancing towards Aria with a sharp glare full of meaning.
"You. "Aria, who heard Arthur's words, could not continue the sentence. He's looking at Theo now. A moment later it started looking down, seemingly thinking of something.
'Hahaha. feel that! I can finally silence your fucking mouth!' Arthur muttered inwardly, looking at Aria with a triumphant gaze.
A short while later, Theo who had finished searching for information, returned to meet his group.
"I've found the location of your entourage! They had reached the capital a few days ago, and were now staying at one of the large inns in the middle of the capital." Theo.
"Ohh. nice! Let's get in line to enter the capital! I can't wait to see the inside of the city!" Arthur said enthusiastically.
While Aria, still silently pensive, continued to stare at the ground beneath her feet, the surrounding air seemed very gloomy.
"What's wrong with you?" Theo asked when he saw Aria's strange attitude.
"It's nothing." Aria replied briefly, a little shocked when Theo asked her.
"Hmmm.. yasuda! Just let me and Arthur get in line, you don't look well!" Theo said, then started to hold onto Aria's forehead, trying to check her body temperature.
Feeling Theo holding her forehead, Aria returned a little shocked. "What are you doing? Get rid of your hands!" Dengus Aria's. He grabbed Theo's hand, then walked away.
"Boss…! Forget about that witch! We better get in line!" Arthur said, with a cheerful tone, his mood seemed to be very good.
"Ohh.." Seeing that, Theo who felt there was a drastic change in attitude between these two people, before and upon his return from seeking information, immediately felt a little suspicious.
"What did you do to him?" Ask Arthur. Frowning.
"What did I do? What's wrong?" Arthur asked, with a plain expression.
"Hmmm...forget it!" Theo said briefly, choosing not to bother taking care of this. He then started walking to take the queue.
While Arthur, now looking back with a triumphant cheerful expression, looked at Aria who still looked gloomy. Then immediately followed Theo took a queue.
***
(Middle of the capital, Gaia Inn)
Gaia Inn was the largest inn in Ice Lotus City, this inn was one of the assets belonging to the Gaia Son Pavilion. One of the two famous Neutral Knight Group. They were a rival organization of the Dark Guild.
Unlike the Dark Guild that specialized in terms of assassins as well as the black market, the Gaia Son Pavilion was an organization that put more emphasis on open trade, and that was more of an open trade, they had lodging and also trading towns in almost all of Gaia Land. Making their influence in Gaia Land, not inferior to the Dark Guild.
In addition, they also specialized in terms of providing mercenaries, who would usually be in the hire of people to become their protective bodyguards.
This was one of the reasons why the Dark Guild and Gaia Son Pavilion were in such a fierce competition. The specialization of each of the two organizations, inevitably causes these two organizations to often clash with each other. Because not infrequently, the assassination target of the Dark Guild, would have mercenaries hired from the Gaia Son Pavilion.
Right now, in front of the Gaia Inn, Theo's group that had just arrived, looked to be entering the inn.
"Wow…! Really big! So is this place an inn? or restaurant?" Arthur said, again stunned by the new things in front of him.
Unlike the previous, now there is no scorn from Aria who usually will immediately talk about Arthur with the word hick once he began to be stunned by new things.
Aria still looks gloomy face, looks in a bad mood, lazy to do anything. He is often self-conscious, like he is thinking about something and is overwhelmed by something.
"Gaia Inn is indeed an inn that is made into one with a restaurant!" Answer Theo. Started explaining. Ignoring Aria's strange attitude.
"The bottom three floors are restaurants! While the other 3 floors above are lodging!"
"Each floor in every restaurant and inn, also has a different class, the first floor is a general class, the second floor is an upper class, and the third floor is a special class."
"And as the name suggests, each class will have a better food menu and lodging facilities for each higher floor!" Theo said, closing the explanation.
He knew all this information because he got a brochure about the Gaia Inn, from the guard he had previously questioned, to get information about the whereabouts of the House Braveheart troupe.
In addition to Gaia Inn, Theo also did not forget to ask the whereabouts of the headquarters of the Dark Guild, and from that, Theo got a complete information brochure about the location of the Dark Guild headquarters, referred to as Nameless Market. A large Bar that is also a black market provider. In order to fulfill the mandate of Alejandro, he planned to visit the place in the next few days.
"Boss…! How can your knowledge be so broad? Isn't this also your first time coming to the capital?" Arthur asked with admiration.
"Hahhaha.it's easy! You'll just give a little bribe to the gatekeepers!" Theo said with a laugh.
The principle of the world does not change anywhere, as well as who is strong, who is powerful, this also applies to who has the resources, he will get everything.
