Randolph traced the city's streets. According to one of the city's soldiers, it took three days to get to the town of Sedes Sapia from the location where he was standing now.
"Hmm... how do I get there in an hour?" Randolph complained.
The royal soldier looked panicked. It seemed he knew how but it was hard to tell Randolph.
"It seems you look troubled, young man," suddenly heard a voice right behind Randolph.
A man in his early 40s who wears a suit complete with a long navy robe. A man with dark brown hair in a low-fade style. His oval face with thick eyebrows, a sharp nose like a penguin's beak, blue eyes, and a sharp chin line add to his handsomeness.
Randolph was slightly stunned when he saw the man's physique.
He turned his gaze to one of the buildings in the city.
"Ahh...I just wanted to know how to quickly move from one city to another without getting myself soaked with my sweat"
The man laughed heartily, "Hahahaha.... Are you a foreigner? It seems you feel very foreign here. If you are a mercenary or a noble, you can follow me. If you are neither of them, then you must surrender yourself to travel for about three days"
"Yes, I'm a mercenary," Randolph replied curtly.
The man gave a code to Randolph to follow the man. Before long, they arrived at a temple-like building. In the temple, there is a priest and two guards who look very different from other royal soldiers.
"What is this place?" asked Randolph who was very amazed by the beauty of the temple.
"This shrine is called the Hall of Kindness. The place where all the residents of the Alamove give their thanks to the Seraphs who supposedly protect the residents of the Alamove"
The man pointed to a building with a height of 3 meters in the form of a monument with a portal in the middle.
"If you are a mercenary or a noble, you can use the portal to transport you to all corners of the Alamove without wasting time. However, this teleportation can't carry a lot of stuff or a lot of people. Looks like you're being chased by time, you can do it now"
The man pushed Randolph's body slightly and directed himself to approach the teleportation device. When Randolph was standing right on top of the device, the man again gave him advice.
"State your destination"
"Sedes Sapia," As Randolph said the city, a white light enveloped his entire body.
After he blinked a few times, Randolph was already in a different temple.
"Ah, I forgot to thank that person and asked who's his name"
Randolph didn't take long to make his way to Eve's tavern. Arriving there, the state of the tavern is like before.
The moment Randolph entered the tavern, many people were staring at him. Not cynically, but proudly.
[Why are they looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?]
In fact, people felt admiration for Randolph. A sixteen years old boy can defeat an Orc that is equivalent to a warrior of rank A and above.
"It seems that everything is back to normal," shouted Randolph to Bonar. He tried not to pay attention to the eyes of the people in the tavern.
"Hahaha, that's how it is. You seem to be fine after the fight," replied Bonar, looking even more excited than usual. He came out of the bar and put his arm around
Bonar led Randolph to the room where the boy was resting.
"Change your clothes immediately. After that, you need to go to Miss Eve's office, upstairs," added Bonar.
Randolph entered his room. There he found a new outfit, a Unique uniform with military-style, complete with boots.
He saw a piece of paper that was right above the uniform.
[Wear this outfit when you will meet His Majesty the King. If you need your other equipment, they have already been transferred back to your inventory, meet me right in my office after you change your clothes, Regards, Eva]
Randolph murmured and tilted his head," Ugh, it seems like I can't help but have to do this formality"
He soon left his bedroom and headed to Eve's office.
"Knock..."
"Come in, the door is unlocked"
Inside the room, Eve was seen sitting behind her desk and reading a document, when she saw Randolph she began speaking, "Looks like you're ready. Then we'll meet the king."
Randolph stuttered a little when Eve said that.
"W...what... do you mean, Miss Eve? Meeting His Majesty here?"
Eve returned Randolph's gaze, the words from Randolph who standing in front of her made her laugh aloud.
"Hahaha..."
Eve got up from her chair. She approached Randolph who was still confused about Eve's intentions.
"Definitely not, we will still meet His Majesty the King in the palace"
Eve took something from her trouser pocket. It was a brown scroll, she tore the scroll.
"Teleport Scroll <Activated>, transfer to Alamove Palace"
Randolph and Eve arrive at the most sacred place in the kingdom, the Alamove Palace.
"Is that another teleportation tool? so we can teleport using that object and also we can teleport from the Hall of Kindness too," Randolph commented.
Eve looked at the boy in surprise, "What do you mean? We can only teleport using this scroll"
This time, it was Randolph who was dumbfounded by the woman's answer.
*****
Both of them arrived at the throne room where the meeting would take place. Many senates, nobles to high-ranking mercenaries were present in the room.
In the room, there were even a few faces familiar to Randolph who also bowed their bodies and heads while facing the King.
These people were the ones who were deemed accomplished enough in securing the Alamove kingdom.
"Guild Master of Sedes Sapia come to pay my respect to His Majesty"
Randolph followed Eve's movements to bowing his body and his head in front of His Majesty.
"No need to be so formal Eve, Is the boy beside you the one who managed to defeat the orcs in the noble houses and find those slaves too?," Alleerie Shone said.
"That's right, Your Majesty," Eve replied.
Randolph kept his head and face down even when he was called by The King.
"Well, without further ado, I will give the reward to those of you who have participated in defeating the Demons and freeing the slaves"
"Ding"
"Congratulations, you have successfully completed the quest given directly by His Majesty the King"
"You get 20,000 gold"
"You have leveled up five times"
"You managed to increase your soldier rank by five levels"
"You have successfully obtained the special title of His Majesty the King of the Alamove, the Alamove Protector's"
[Alamove Protector's title, You have been recognized as a Protector of Alamove Kingdom, Hp +100, Speed +1.1, Attack Speed +50, Casting Speed +50]
