'Ha , 'Ha one of the mercenary struggled through the snow as he ran into a random direction , hoping to escape from the enemy onslaught. Puff , the man feet got caught on something that made him fall down. Turning his vision around , he saw that it was Six , one of their accomplices that ran away at the same times as him. Six had a big single scratch on his neck and seeing that the blood froze, it must of meant the predator killed him a while ago. Relief , the mercenary was still scared as he stood up and ran onto a soft wall. As he slowly turns around , he saw a big leopard wearing a black mask. "AHH-" With a quick death , Sasha flew back to the two young girls and upon arrival , Sasha caught a weird sound that she never heard before. "What's wrong Sasha?" Luru looked at the big leopard's nervous movement. "I hear a weird sound.. and it's going toward your parents." The little girl was alarmed as she asked Sasha to bring her there.
"Please! With your help I am sure they can somehow escape easier and I still have one offense magic scroll with me." Knowing that she could escape through the sky , Sasha was easily convinced and brought the two young girls along. "I am sorry sister Lili for bringing you to some place dangerous.. I don't feel right leaving you all alone." Lili shook her head and smiled at her with teary eyes. Some humans.. are good ..
Naire good sense of hearing also picked up something approaching them , with a hand sign , Lati slowly nodded and prepared for an incoming attack. Is it those wild beast..? ZZZZZZZ , a black shadow flew through the blizzard and slid above the snow as it stopped sideways. The stopped in mid air as the black window slid back to the rear , revealing the young man in his uniform. "Nodus you are back just in times!" Naire walked toward the commander with his arms open , ready for a hug but Nodus just walked past him and went toward Lati.
Boo not cute, Naire pouted and followed behind him. "Nodus , looks like you are unhurt." With a nod , Nodus stood beside Lati as he stared at the 4 elves and with a flick of his hand , a black device appeared and scanned them. "17 % Ancient race , descendant of fairies." Without any other interest toward the elves , Nodus just stood there as Lati waved toward her husband. "Naire , could you get Luru and Lili?" Before the husband could even reply , Sasha who ran normally through the storm quickly arrived at the bloody scene.
"Lili!" The elves quickly recover from their fright when a big white leopard arrived. Luru sat on Sasha as Lili quickly jumped down clumsily and ran toward her friends with tears in her face. Her friends thanked Lili and the couple while Luru and Sasha hurriedly ran to the young man. "Now now.. You don't need to thank us , they were criminals and we did it because it was like a humanity duty." Lati was trying to convince them to stop kneeling down while bowing. "Amy.. where is Sel and Su?" Upon realizing that everyone was gathered here and with the third carriage missing , Lili was alarmed as she thought of the worst scenario. "T..they sacrifice them along with the third carriage..." When they wild beast attacked , the red mage ordered them to throw in some baits so that they can flee from the pack of wild beast so that they can find a place for shelter before the storm get any worst during nightfall.
Lili cried in the blue woman's arm as Lati tries to pacify her. Luru climbed the carriage and slowly made her way beside Nodus. "Thank you.. If it wasn't for Sasha , we would of had hard times finding these evil people." Nodus simply looked at her and pat her head. "Mhmm , why are they all wearing collar?" Luru had her eyes closed as she savor the moment while Lati , who heard Nodus question quickly came up with an idea. "Ah , I almost forgot.. Nodus , could you remove these collar for them??" Since the young man knew magic craft , he could most likely understand these slave collar inscription better than anyone here. Hearing the legendary name of Mr Nodus , the master magic crafter , Lili swept her tears and looked toward Luru. When her view landed on Nodus , Lili was puzzled as she subconscious walked toward the young man. So..so beautiful.. Before she could arrive in front of the young man , Nodus pulled out his device from the watch and shot toward the elves. "Inscription Algorithm found.. Level - 0 - Defective...Inscription Broken." With the arrow on the *d* Nodus wasn't interested in a low tier inscription as he vaporized the wooden collar on their necks.
"H..how is this possible!" The male elf was shocked while the 3 elves were celebrating. "Were free! Thank you so much Mr Nodus!" The group of elves bowed slightly as they stood beside the couple while Lili woke up from gaze."Ah! I am sorry , you must be Mr Nodus, I heard so much about you... I am Lili , pleased to meet you!" Lili was a little bit tense while Nodus switched his vision to her. With a wave hand motion , Nodus indicated for Lili to come closer and when Lili was right infront of the young man. Nodus slightly levitated and held the elf cheeks with two hands."Uohh Mhhsr Nosdddu??" The young man did not reply as he twist her head around to study her more closely and after looking underneath her right ear , he found a little crescent moon birth mark. "Mhmm , you look like them and you also have the mark." Said the young man as he released the elf and walked backward.
"49 % Ancient race , descendant of moon fairies."
What is a moon fairy doing on the ground , could it be this planet also has floating world around?... While Nodus ponder , Lati gathered everyone and suggest to return back to their carriage. Looking at the young man for his permission , Nodus simply nodded and hoped on his bike. "Um... Could I come with you ?" The little girl was standing beside his bike while everyone else was already on Sasha. "Let's race Sasha." The young man nodded and the girl happily climbed onto the bike like he did. "Hold on tightly." With the glass shield covered the bike , Nodus quickly bolted forth with the waver while Luru hurriedly and held her arms around his waist. Sasha also ran toward the same direction , racing her young master toward the base as she misses the cub.
Ali was carrying a plate out of the room and laid them onto the hidden table that was in between the seats. "Don't worry Mimi , you can just stay in bed , I am sure they will return soon." The young beautiful elf nodded and sat up while remaining underneath the blanket while Shishi was sleeping beside her. " T-Thank you so much Ali.." The brown little girl happily ran back and sat on the same bed as her. " Mhmm Mimi is my friend now so no need to thank me! Could you tell me more about the kingdom?" Ali and Mimi were the same ages , 15 and they birthdays were just a week apart. Knowing that Mimi was the same age but has as much knowledge as Luru , Ali easily became her friend as she inquire some storytelling. ZZzzzz , Hearing the weird sound , Ali stood up bed and ran toward the main room , lifting up the window beside the seat , she spotted her friend and Nodus getting down a weird black thing. "Ah , they are here! Luru , Nodus!!" Ali quickly ran and slid the door open as she waved at them.
Luru ran back and held her friend as she inquire about the shorter version of Lili while Shishi jumped on Nodus shoulder and rested his head on his silky hair. " Mhmm she woke up a while ago and I even fed her hmmp!" With a proud expression , Ali dragged her friend to the room to meet Mimi. "Bu one , standby butler mode and prepare a better design to upgrade this carriage." The bike transformed into the robust butler as it stood beside the entrance of the carriage as his eyes flashed.
"Im glad you recovered! Your sister and friends are fine , they are going to be here soon." Nodus heard the little girl voice and hearing that she is the sister of the moon elf , he curiously walked into the room.
As the young man stood infront of the girls , Mimi quickly began to inspect Nodus without any hint of fear and smiled at him . What a cute person! "H-hello! My name is Mimi , pleased to meet you..." Without replying , Nodus just flicked his device and scanned her. "79 % Ancient race , descendant of moon fairies , potential sealed." "uhmm" Seeing Nodus odd action , Ali quickly stood in front of the bed. " Ah this is Nodus! The one who made this warm carriage!" Oooh! Her eyes sparkled as she felt in love with this soft bed. So it's that human boy.. Upon realizing that Nodus was a boy , she was puzzled as to why she did not felt any fear toward a human of the opposite gender. Maybe because he is pretty and cute . The young elf nodded by herself and suddenly the girls heard a knock from the outside.
It's done. "Every one , leave the carriage." Ali and Mimi looked at the young man with a confused expression while Luru figured out why he ask them to leave. "Mhmm , It's because of your friends , Nodus simply wants to make the carriage bigger in order to fit more people, right?" Seeing the young man nod , they happily ran outside with him leaving last.
"Requires only 1% of purified energy? Agree." Bu one sent him the blue print into his watch and looking at the change and low requirements , the young man quickly agreed without any hesitation. I know what kind of business I should do now. Detaching the horses , Bu one shot a laser at the carriage from his eyes and as the laser touched the carriage. The carriage suddenly became green , filled with squares perfectly aligned like a graph paper. The front shape slowly extended sideways while the back side ceiling increased in height and finally , the middle part stretched longer. After a quick 30 seconds , the laser from the android faded away as the carriage slowly reverted to it's original black color.
Seeing the change , the 2 little girls stared at Bu one while Ali was admiring the glass on the front of the carriage. "This is my..Spirit artifact form." The butler changed into a formal greeting stance with one palm on the stomach while the other was on his tight. " Greeting miss , I am Bu One , commander Nodus's servant." Said the robust butler in a manly voice. Before the girl could ask any question , Nodus ordered the butler to show them around as he did not want to bother doing it when the rest arrive later on. "The door is still the same but with a lock on the inside.." The main room height remains the same while the door had a manual lock from the inside , the main room went from 2 rubber seats to 8 , a pair of two faced together with a hidden table on the wall as usual while the other pair of seat is right behind it. Both side of the wall were identical with 4 glass windows now that could be covered by a wooden plank that slides down.
Going through the same front door , the driving room has now 2 single seats while the far front has a big 2 seats with the steering wheel on the right side , the front wooden panel is now replaced by a big windshield with the ceiling being convertible into a sun roof by simply pushing the wooden ceiling upward. The tall back room which had 1 big bed on each side now has 4 additional big beds hanging above each other , making it a triple bunk bed with wooden ladders going up , each bed now has a small window on their walls with a wooden plank cover. The furnace box was now inside the carriage at the very far end of the room and the most noticeable change was the window on the ceiling. While the hall in between the main and back section of the carriage has a door that led to a walk in storage room.
