Widely contagious

Mizeya: - Tell us a little about yourself, if you've joined us.

Sinaka had almost fallen asleep when a barrage of questions came from the boy riding next to him.

Sinaka: - I wouldn't like to talk to you, I'd rather talk to the wife of my future children.

Mizeya: - You heard Aika, your husband wants you.

Aika: - What do you want from me? Not my husband.

Mizeya: - Ask about his big plan before we get there.

Sinaka: - I can hear you.

Mizeya: - Then you could answer.

How can he be older than me? When he behaves so incomprehensible and childish, but at least he knows a safer way through the forest, I don't even know what kind of creatures or persons live there.

Sinaka: - Well, what do you want to know about me so much?

Mizeya: - Tell us your purpose and why you are helping us.

Sinaka: - I only offered my help because of Miss Aika and my goal is to become the strongest adventurer in the whole world!

Mizeya: - So you are already an adventurer?

Sinaka: - Not just any kind, a class C, but wait, I'll show you.

He took out a black card from his pocket, which served as proof that he was indeed a true adventurer.

Sinaka: - Be amazed and stare, look at this.

He slips his card into my hand.

[User]: Sinaka Lane

[Age]: 15

[Race]: Human

[Adventurer rank]: C

[Weapon]: Sword

[Special]: None

[Aura rank]: Low knight

Huh!? How can his Aura be so high? Still, how much he fought, even though my Aura is only at a Tower level, even though I still have my dream sword, but maybe he has it too.

Mizeya: - How can you have such a high Aura at such an age?

Sinaka: - Are you surprised? I'm amazing, I know.

But it's annoying, why can't you just simply answer my questions?

Mizeya: - If you're already so strong, why didn't you join the army?

Sinaka: - You're joking right now? I don't follow anyone and I don't fight for a person who means nothing to me.

Mizeya: - It's good to be independent.

Aika: - You see?

Mizeya: - I see it too.

Sinaka: - We have reached the kingdom.

Sky-high gates surrounded, in the middle of which was the huge castle that dominated the entire kingdom.

Getting off the horse, I tried to help Aika a little, by guiding her in some way.

Mizeya: - That would be Syronida's kingdom, you see?

The princess was looking completely elsewhere, her attention was rather distracted by something else.

Aika: - Stop calling me your wife all the time, it's annoying.

Sinaka: - My heart will always be yours and my first wife's.

Mizeya: - Aika!

Aika: - I know this is Syronida's kingdom, but where else is there such a big castle? My crazy bodyguard.

The boy comes to me and grabs my shoulder.

Sinaka: - You got this, but keep your head up, it will be even worse.

Mizeya: - You already know that.

We started towards the gate, where there were at least 6 guards.

Mizeya: - Good day, would you let us through?

Guard: - Only if we saw your emblem.

Mizeya and Sinaka take out their emblems, each resident of Syronida gets one, to somewhat filter those entering the kingdom.

All three main kingdoms have emblems, while Syronides has a feather crossed with two daggers, Tirinia has a black raven standing on a tree branch and the last Perenis has an eagle holding a skull in its talons.

Aikan doesn't have one, I forgot.

I quickly walk over to Aika and whisper something in her ear.

Mizeya: - I'll be very fast, put your hands back, and then your palms face the sky.

Sinaka: - It's here too, can I go in now?

Guard: Go.

Now it's Mizeya.

Guard: - Show your emblem.

Mizeya: - There you go.

I showed my emblem, and then with a very quick but precise movement when I put it back in my pocket, I threw it into Aika's hand, which flew perfectly into her hand, which she held at the back so that the guards wouldn't see it.

Guard: - Now the lady is next.

She holds out her hand and shows the emblem.

Aika: - It's here.

Guard: - They can go in.

Now all three of us are inside the scene of the kingdom.

Mizeya: - While we're here, let's take a look around.

Sinaka: - Let's eat something.

A very strong stomach rumble interrupted the conversation.

Mizeya: - Aika?

Aika: - A girl can't be hungry? We have barely eaten anything since we set out.

We made our way through the market, then ended up at a food seller, where we successfully managed to purchase food.

"Telepathic Communication"

Mizeya: - Faina.

Faina: - What can I help you with?

Mizeya: - How do you know?

Faina: - I already know you, you're probably not interested because of me, but rather for my help.

Mizeya: - There is nothing to do, you know me well, I need your help.

Faina: - In what?

Mizeya: - Find a way within the kingdom that will take us to the forest heat with a thousand faces.

Faina: - It won't be that easy, this place is quite big.

Mizeya: - How long will it be?

Faina: - 1-2 days approximately.

Mizeya: - Then leave as soon as possible.

Faina: - Tch.

Avoiding being seen, Faina suppressed every drop of her Soul Aura and cloaked her presence so that they wouldn't even accidentally notice her.

Aika: - Then where to next?

Mizeya: - Let's find a place to stay and then ask around the people here.

Aika: - What do you want to know from the people here?

Mizeya: - I'm just interested in the current situation of my home.

Sinaka: - Then just leave it to me, I'm pretty good at getting information.

Mizeya: - Then I leave this task to Aika's husband.

Aika: - Whose husband? You just want to.

We started looking for the place leading to the accommodation, but this market hall is quite big, so it would be better to ask someone about it, so I went to a vegetable seller.

Mizeya: - I'm glad, could you help us?

Seller: - It depends on what.

Mizeya: - Where can we stay?

I go to the seller and whisper in his ear.

Mizeya: - We are simple people, something cheap if you could say so.

The seller winked at him.

Seller: - Then you have to go to the Petal Inn next to the Ascending Pagoda.

Mizeya: - Where can we find the Ascending Pagoda?

Seller: - Where you are now, go East, then go about 5 kilometers and turn left at the nearest hall, you will find a huge building consisting of towers.

Mizeya: - Thank you for your help, goodbye!

So we set off to the huge tower building next to which our accommodation is located, but we stumble upon a strange stranger who successfully pushes me up.

Mizeya: - Hey, can't you see with your eyes?

Stranger: - Water, water, water, water.

He has a hunched back and compared to his huge stature, it's quite difficult for him to walk, although I don't think he's very smart, since he left us there without a word.

I walk over to the stranger, but suddenly he kicks me, which made me lose my balance and fall back again.

Sinaka: - Don't fall so many times.

Mizeya: - Thanks for the help, but what was wrong with this guy?

Aika: - He must not like your face or he hates bodyguards.

I got up from the ground and we continued east.

Mizeya: - You are a great help, do you know that?

Sinaka: - Other times too.

Tell Mizeya with a huge grin.

We've been walking for a while now, but I think we've arrived as I can already see the door to the huge building.

Mizeya: - If everything is true, then we will be next to him.

Sinaka: - Be careful!

A dead person may not have fallen on Mizeya's head, who had just fallen from the Ascending Pagoda, but as they looked around, they saw more than just one dead person.

Mizeya: - How many dead, what happened?

Unexpectedly, a man came to us, who presumably, and by looking at him could tell that he was dying.

Touching the princess's back, the stranger hears a loud and annoying shout from a woman's mouth.

Aika: - Whaaaaaaaah.

Mizeya: - What is Aika? It's just one person.

Confused princess.

Aika: - Shut up.

Sinaka: - Did something happen to my love?

Aika: - You better keep quiet.

I went to the dying man so that I could at least fulfill his last wish.

Mizeya: - What can I help you with? You can ask anything.

Man: - Water, water.

The man's mouth was completely dry, his eyes were bloodshot and his skin was completely discolored, it was pure black and green as if he had fallen victim to some kind of poisoning, but as I can see quite successfully, looking at the many dead.

I took out a bottle filled with water, which I raised to the man's mouth and slowly began to drink, but it didn't last long, already in the first minute, the water just flowed onto the ground, and he died.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see a man armed with a sword walking by, crouching and examining the ground.

I go to the man.

Mizeya: - I'm sorry, but what happened here?

Man: - You don't know? It has been almost 2 weeks since a deadly disease ruled this kingdom.
