Rebirth Of Abium 68 Chapter 68: Viper

This time, Aliza was deeply scared out of her wits. Just a few moments ago, they were talking to her with respect, but now she felt like she was a sheep in lion's den.

Think Aliza, think! Even if I run, I knew these bandits would outmatch my speed and capture me. I can also feel the malicious intent which hidden within Keith's words.

What can I do in this situation? Aliza frowned as she noticed Rudie was looking at her with his disgusting gaze.

d.a.m.n, I shouldn't have come with them. Aliza bits her lips and quickly took out a scroll from her backpack.

Thank the lord of the dead that I took this scroll earlier and put it in my backpack.

Rip!

Next instant, she ripped the scroll, without hesitation and threw a low tier magic crystal towards the magic circle that formed under her feet.

"F**K! That Necromancer even gave her a spell scroll. Attack! No! Quick, capture her!" Keith bellowed in anger while dashed forward at a quick speed. But his hand only managed to grab the empty air. Aliza's figure disappeared completely from the place, leaving all those bandits with a dumbfounded expression.

"Boss, what to do now? If Lord Murius knew about this, he would definitely come for our heads." Rudie said in a scared tone. The scene of that necromancer turned a human into skeletons that appeared in front of his mind.

"Don't worry about that, Necromancer. I already gave the full information to Drake pirates. They must be already on their way to recapture that tower." Keith said with a grin while gave a sharp look towards the area where Aliza stood before.

"She won't be able to escape far away in this forest. Everyone, move in separate directions and search for her." He clicked his tongue and walked towards a southern direction while other pirates moved on to different paths.

…

Meanwhile, Aliza stood there with a half-dazed expression at the foothills of a small unknown mountain. Dense woods and chirping sound made her heartbeat to race faster. The chilling wind also caused her to breathe harder, and soon she dashed towards the west.

I think I'm around two kilometers far away from that group.' She secretly thanked that necromancer for giving few materials to her before their departure. It's been almost two years after Murius came to meet her and saved her from her grandparents and church.

Well, I won't even call them my family members now. They are murderers who killed my mom in front of my eyes. Only thinking about them make her eyes to become colder, and soon, she cast those thoughts away and walked ahead towards the west.

I don't know any clues about my dad nor about the background of lord Murius. At least they are not unreasonably like those light church members.

In this fearful world, the only person who helped her was that necromancer. She also knew why those lights b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were after her mother because her Aliza's father was a necromancer.

There are many questions and answers I need to ask my dad. Why is lord Murius helping me? She thought countless times but didn't have any courage to ask that to him due to his cold att.i.tude. But she knew her father was not a human, and that's the reason Light church was chasing after him.

"USELESS FOOLS!" An enraging sound came from the deep belly of that forest made her body tremble a little.

'Holy lord of the dead! It's Keith.' She covered her mouth in panic and ran faster without turning back while avoiding a slithering snake's attack from the branch of the birch tree. Her heart pounded faster in panic, and she felt fear towards those l.u.s.tful beasts.

But before she could move a few meters away, a shadowy figure chased after her with fast speed and smacked her on the nape.

"Boss, I caught her!" A familiar voice came behind her and knew it was that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Rudie. Soon, her head became fuzzy, and slowly, darkness enveloped her eyes.

Thud!

She fell unconscious while other bandits soon came arrived with a bright expression on their faces.

"Boss, shall-" Rudie started to speak with a goofy smile but couldn't finish his words.

Slap!

"Do you know the value of this girl?" Keith glared at Rudie. He knew what the thoughts running inside these morons' minds and sighed were.

"Value?" Another bandit asked curiously.

"Don't you found something off about her. Why would that Necromancer was so concerned and overprotective to her?" Keith asked the fools who already looked at that girl with l.u.s.tful gazes.

"Isn't it because she is pretty?" Rudie still rubbing his chins and replied with a foolish grin.

"No, I already checked about her past," Keith said while shaking his head.

"What is it, boss?" Rudie asked curiously.

"She is wanted by Light church." After taking a deep breath, Keith's repled. Everyone's including Rudie's expression became dumbstruck.

"B-Boss, L-Light church?! are you sure?" Rudie's face instantly went death pale as he asked in a stutter. Meanwhile, other bandits backed away two steps away from Aliza and stared at her nervously.

"Yes, we are going to get money from her bounty." Keith clicked his tongue and spoke with a solemn tone.

"Rudie, pick her up. We are going to the pirate town."

Keith said as he continued to walk towards the southern direction while the other eight bandits followed after him. Without any other choice, Rudie picked her up and followed them behind with half a swollen face.

"Come faster. We are going to meet the Captain of the Drake pirates and will sell her to them." Without turning back, Keith shouted towards Rudie and moved forward.

"How much is her bounty, boss? What is our share?" A lean bandit named Edsel asked curiously.

"Original bounty on her head is 5000 white golds so we can get at least ten percent," Keith responded made other bandits' expression to drop.

"Why shouldn't we directly give her to the light church and get the bounty by ourselves, boss?" When hearing that answer from Rudie, Keith almost lost his temper.

"Fool, don't you know all of our faces are already on every adventurer's guild's wanted list? If we went outside this territory, we would be the first one to be surrounded and thrown into the dungeon."

"Ah! I almost forgot about that boss." Rudie scratched his head and peeked at Aliza, who was already on his shoulder.

"Let's go. We must go to reach the town before the nightfall." Keith said while slas.h.i.+ng his sword towards a lone goblin while others followed him with smiles on their faces.

…

Meanwhile, Abium's carriage moved towards the eastern direction without any obstruction. There was only farmland that appeared on the pa.s.sage, and sometimes they met few adventures and peddlers carriages. But because of the n.o.ble symbol carved on the carriage door, hardly some merchants or adventurers visited their carriage to chat.

As they moved closer towards the east, the temperature also began to fall rapidly. The reason for that was because the mountain range which separating Alastall territory the kingdom. It's due to the Frozen mountain range, and it plays a significant role in influencing the climate of the Peral kingdom and part of Wadel kingdom.

By their high alt.i.tude, length, and direction, they effectively intercept the summer monsoons coming from the southern sea and Devil sea and cause precipitation in the form of rainfall to Alastall territory, and Peral Kingdom's eastern territories.

Also, there were multiple rivers emerged from this mountain range. But only two flown through the Alastall woodlands while other rivers directly enter Wadel kingdom in the northeast side.

As he was thinking about these, the group finally reached a local town under the royal family's control. They stayed there for a day, and Abium continued to do his experiment. And this time, he didn't make any mistakes that made others sighed in relief.

After Abium successfully managed to create those magic array circles, he thought of moving towards the next step.

The next step is to Create a magic rune circle. His expression turned serious.

I have to construct a spell model inside that array circle using magic stone. Hmm, in the book Mage Ubius explained, it will be easier to construct a spell model in magic array circles than one's mind. With an understanding nod, Abium started to create spell models.

Unlike before, Abium didn't cause any explosions. His experience in constructing spell mode made his job easier.

By the end of the 6th-day travel, he finally managed to construct a zero tier red orb spell model inside that small magic array in the scroll while the group was moving on the carriage.

Spark!

The light flickered in those rune letters, and the magic stone completely absorbed into that spell model. Next instant, that spell model printed on that scroll. Because of those rune letters and magic array circle, the scroll starting to emit light glow which made others' eyes to captivate.

I need more practice to create magic rune circles.

He thought while pus.h.i.+ng the curtain a little to see outside. 'Hmm? I think we arrived near to Aldgate town.' His gaze sharpened.

"Orson, Stop the carriage at the next town."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone gave him a puzzled look, but he shrugged his shoulders.

That town name was Aldgate. It was under Duke Adhemar's control, and it would only take five to six hours to reach there from their current location. During the past few days, travel, they came across many cities and villages on the way, but Abium told coachman not to stop anywhere. But suddenly, now Abium ordered the coachman to stop at the next town made others raise their eyebrows.

One mile away from Abium's carriage, multiple figures gazed towards their direction and followed behind. All of them wore a black hood and wholly covered their faces with black masks.

"Shall we make our move?" Hewet asked.

"Not in duke's territory. Let's prepare a warm welcome for him near to his land." Watson shook his head firmly and replied.

"What about that mage you mentioned earlier?" Hewet's eyes narrowed. Although they were ordered by count Tibal to accompany Watson, still this guy had been hiding more information from him made little annoy inside.

"lord Murius said he would send his men and Bilet to deal with this Elf, so don't worry." Hewet cold snorted at Watson's reply and sighed helplessly. He didn't trust that unknown mage at all.

"Let's go!"

Soon, they were stealthily starting to follow that carriage while maintaining some distance.

That day noon, a luxurious carriage arrived in front of the Aldgate town northern entrance. With a simple glance, gatekeepers understood it belongs to a n.o.ble's carriage and opened the wooden gate hastily with a loud screech. The red bird symbolized carriage entered inside and moved towards the residential area where most of the inns were located.

"Go to Indra's inn." Abium's cold voice from the carriage made the Coachman nodded in nervousness, and he quickly brought that carriage towards an old inn. At the entrance of that, Indra's Inn was a bow placed that made Helena furrow her eyebrows.

"Kid! Is this the place we are going to stay? Why it looks so old, or should I say dirty?" Kuran complained of dissatisfaction.

"Do you want Red spiced wine or the best Inn?" Abium responded with a question that made Kuran eyes wide.

"Of course, Red spiced wine." Kuran's eyes soon glittered, and he quickly dashed ahead. Meanwhile, Camilla pouted then followed after Kuran. Well, after she stayed in the baron's mansion for the last few days, she almost acts like a spoiled brat. Meanwhile, Sara covered her face and followed behind her sister.

One by one, everyone walked inside that Inn and soon saw a girl with forest green hair greeted them with a warm smile.

Leeta. Instantly Abium identified that girl and gave her a warm smile. She had emerald green eyes, heart-shaped face, olive skin, shadow nose bridge, and short eyebrows.

"Book five separate rooms for one day." Abium quickly paid two gold coins to her and stood there with some hesitation. Soon, Leeta noticed his hesitation and asked in a soft tone.

"Is there anything else you would like, sir?" Abium glanced around his surroundings then confirmed no one around then spoke.

"I want to meet Mr.Viper."

At first, Leeta nodded, then abruptly, her expression froze. There was a sudden panic that appeared on her face, which caused Abium's group members to bewilderment.

"S-Sir I-I d-don't know what you are talking about?" She stuttered in panic and backed away from the counter table. As Abium was about to say something, he felt a slight pain from his neck and saw a cold blade. The tip of that blade made a small wound on his neck and causing a few drops of blood to drop on the floor.

Shw.a.n.g! Shw.a.n.g! Shw.a.n.g!…

Helena and others instantly unsheathed their weapons and stared at the pitch-black dark hole that appeared near to Abium's neck with wide eyes.

The next moment, including Abium, everyone felt darkness surrounded the whole hall, leaving no trace of light behind. Although Abium was a little nervous inside, he kept his poker face and stared at the s.h.i.+ning blade in the darkness.

"Why do you want to meet that cold-blooded killer, kid? Don't think I won't kill you just because you are a n.o.ble. Now tell me?" A calm yet chilling atmosphere appeared all over their surroundings made everyone s.h.i.+ver a little, then came a deep voice.

Soon, the darkness faded, leaving a single human-like shadow behind. Slowly it formed into a middle-aged man with long gray hair and scarlet lizard-like eyes. He wore a blue overcoat, which fell from his shoulder to halfway down his legs and large black boots. He had a round face, same olive skin like his daughter, and few wrinkles appeared on his face. Like a snake, his simple glance towards others sent s.h.i.+ver down to their spines.

'Viper!' A smile appeared on Abium's face.
