The hero is back(II)
DLR - 36
_____________________________
[So Sariel, what's your plan now...like in this world, except for finding the other transmigrator that is.]
Sariel sighed as he thought about it. Now that he thought about it again...he truly didn't know why he was reincarnated in this world or what his purpose is.
'Hm...I guess, for now, I'll try to settle down in Riveer' he communicated telepathically.
[And then?...]
'Since power is important in this world I guess I'll have to find a way to enter the soul monarch level of strength' he replied.
[That's great!. The system store is open for you anytime. You haven't used your points from last time you saved Riveer] Michael urged.
'Shut up, you're just trying to make me use my points..., they are very hard to acquire.' his lips twitched a little.
[Hehe..]
Micheal giggled and it made Sariel angry more.
Soon he started hearing murmuring and people talking and he wondered what happened.
He noticed that they were looking at the gates and took his gaze there. Sariel smiled as he saw what they were looking at...or precisely, who.
A slightly old man with a crown on his head was walking with hurried steps towards the gate from inside the kingdom.
"Ohhhh, Dear boy. How have you been?"
The king grasped both of Sariel's hands with a big smile on his face, making the people who were around burst out with noise as they all discussed.
"What?. Maybe he wasn't lying"
"Yeah...we could already see that he was strong from making the guards look like they were about to die"
"He could really be the princess's fiance, he has the looks also"
"And the king seems to have some relationship with him"
.....
"I've been good king Ceaser" Sariel smiled at the man that was slightly shorter than him.
"You're even looking more handsome than before!" the king complimented.
"And you are even more dashing" he told the white haired king.
The king had normal brown eyes, his hair had turned grey already as he is turning old.
"Ah, this old man is nowhere near you in terms of looks."
They spoke cheerfully.
The guards were all dumbfounded as they stared at the two that were talking like brothers.
The people started mumbling and talking as some of them recognised him but they weren't sure.
"He can't be!, the frost overlord?"
"Yes, he looks exactly like the statue except for his hair length"
"Are you sure of what you're saying?"
"No I'm not but it sure looks like the king knows him very well"
"That's true"
The group looked at the king and the strange man suspiciously as if trying to hear what they were saying.
...
"What are you all staring at, get back to work!"
"Yes your highness!" the guards answered as they began inspecting the people that were in the line again.
"Come on boy, we've awaited you return for years now. Let's go in" the king smiled as he led Sariel into the kingdom.
The king was really a wise king, roping in a powerful person to be his ally. Riveer was known for their ruling sense also.
...
Entering the kingdom, they walked along the streets, seeing many merchants that were walking about.
"Good day your highness!"
As they walked everyone that saw them greeted the king while wondering who was the handsome man with him.
Sariel was admiring the visible changes in the kingdom. The buildings were made in some silver like material and that all looked sturdy.
There were few houses that Sariel saw and the rest were all shops, restaurants and other merchants buildings.
The way the streets were flooded with people made Sariel wonder what was even going on in the first place.
He turned to the king and asked, "Is there something special happening?"
"Huh?...oh yes. We are hosting a merchant carnival where we will sell all our excess goods and more"
"I'm surprised you noticed. You seem like the kind of person that isn't interested in this kind of stuff."
"Oh, really!" Sariel answered, quite surprised at the king's statement.
'Maybe because of my behavior the first time' he thought.
Sariel normally will stay quiet about anything happening around him unless it concerns him.
The king smiled as he was somewhat happy that Sariel was now conscious of his surroundings.
_..._
After a while, they finally reached the castle. It was a tall building that had some medieval vibe to it. The roofs were made out of a strange blue material that Sariel is just seeing for the first time. The castle itself was made with silver bricks that he has also never seen.
'Everything in this world is just new to me' he thought as he followed the king into the palace.
"Oh, and also...Fevinir has been very disturbing since you left"
"Fevinir?!" he was shocked as he heard the name.
'Great another thing I forgot...my friend, or as this world calls it 'my familiar' '
"How's she been doing?" he asked.
"Sigh... it's very hard to control her, but we still hold our ground. I'm sure she will behave once she sees you" the king sighed in relief as the kingdom will be safer.
He would've thrown the familiar into the forest, but... because Sariel wanted them to protect it.
The king promised Sariel that he will take care of the creature when it was little, but as it grew up, it got more and more aggressive and dangerous.
'Thank goodness he came, I would've had no other choice than to exterminate it'
Yet another burden has been lifted off his shoulders.
....
They walked into the castle and passed a grand hallway. The floors were made with a material looking like tiles but Sariel knew that they were not tiles as they had a glittering effect that made them look beautiful.
Entering the a long balcony where a battle was taking place.
"Let me take you to see your familiar before we go upstairs" the king said as they heard a banging sound coming from the back of the castle.
The king walked quickly, making Sariel to struggle to keep up.
Reaching the back, they saw a wide open space. There was sand on the floor and on the other side there was another building.
"AHHHH" he looked at the middle and saw a man flying outwards and a few other gather around a huge creature.
"Oh my God. Is that Fevinir?" he asked in shock.
