ARYA MAHESA
Cars and Roads
The horse-drawn carriages were speeding along the road between the Golden Lion Mountains and Basaka City. That was because the road connecting the largest city and the former center of the Golden Lion Sect had already been hardened.
On their way they had passed through several villages that were quite crowded. It is very different from the usual road through Arya before.
Seeing how Arya always looks out, it tickles Rantoba's curiosity.
"Young Master, have you never seen a path like this before?"
Arya and the three girls who were with her, boarded the same train as Rantoba.
Behind, they already knew that Edward was following. Everyone knows what Edward will do to Drey when he gets to Basaka.
"Yes. I just saw her for the first time." Arya answered honestly.
But Arya's answer, according to Rantoba is not in harmony with the way she dresses. According to him, Arya has certainly been out of Swarna kingdom before.
Now, Rantoba believes that Arya is not actually from this land. If not from the city of Barus or major cities in the northern Mainland, at least Arya came from the City of Malka. The Western mainland of Swarna kingdom.
"Huh, you must be kidding me. Those words of yours are completely incompatible with the way you dress!"
Arya turned around and turned to Rantoba. A split second, there was a sigh of fear that Rantoba felt as Arya looked at him.
"I don't care about the road, all I care about is how many people you hire to make the road like this."
"On that, I don't know. I think it's pretty much. But that way, ordinary residents can get jobs and earn income in addition to farming."
Arya nodded. "Good if so. Are you paying them well enough?"
Rantoba did not like the way Adya asked. "Young Master. I don't know who you are. Honestly, I don't really care either. But, from the way you speak, it's as if you're not a citizen of Swarna's kingdom."
Arya shook her head, "How should the people of Swarna ask? Or, you really don't allow people to ask questions?"
"Haha! Very amusing. How someone who cooperated with Oldenbar did not know of this. All roads in the Eastern Land, built by the government in cooperation with Oldenbar. If, you want to know, why don't you just ask Edward if he's paying all the workers well."
Arya responded to this with a slanted smile."So, the kingdom needed Oldenbar to build its own land. That what you mean?"
"Ecci ... About that, I... "
Aryan's question was not able to be answered by Rantoba. His job does not cover this. However, Arya's words made her think a lot.
"Mr Rantoba. You're not from this Land, so you certainly don't care about the people here, do you? And I guess, your king does too!"
Hearing that, Rantoba's eyes instantly sharpened. "Miss, watch your words. I've given you face so far not to let you talk as you please. The insult to the King is a grave crime." Remember Rantoba to Luna.
"I'm not insulting. But you guys, the royal side has made us and Young Master work for something we shouldn't be doing!"
"You mean?!"
"Yes. We had to destroy an Oldenbar branch on our way to Basaka."
Rantoba's eyes widened. "You destroyed the Oldenbar branch? It can't be!"
Rantoba is at a loss for words. What the people in front of him were saying right now, was not as completely wrong. However, destroying the Oldenbar guild branch opens up a reliable story just like that. Rantoba knows how the power of Oldenbar, even if it's just a branch.
"You guys destroyed the Oldenbar guild and ended up cooperating with them? How do I trust your words?"
"Haha! As we thought." Luna turned around laughing at Rantoba. "You really don't know how the Oldenbar guild works."
Rantoba's skin flushed. His little heart did not accept being humiliated like this. When he wants to say something. Suddenly Arya made a sound.
"That's Mr. Rantoba. From the beginning we wanted to go to Basaka. However, it turned out that our trip wasn't as smooth as we expected!"
The change of topic again intrigued Rantoba. "So, you're actually going to Basaka? What's your business going there?"
"I want to talk to whoever's in charge over there!"
Rantoba. "Imresponsible? You mean, King Darmuraji?"
Arya nodded and her als slightly raised. "So, that's his name?"
Rantoba only realized that Arya did not know who the King in Basaka was now. Even from the way Arya spoke, it was as if the young man did not care about Darmuraji's standing.
"Mr Rantoba. Maybe you accidentally missed something." Bai Hua, who had been silent since then, spoke up.
Ever since first seeing her in the Oldenbar palace, there was little to disturb Bai Hua's mind when he saw Rantoba's movements.
The warrior was indeed surprised when they entered the Oldenbar palace. But, when Rantoba looked at him for the first time, Bai Hua found the swordsman's eyes slightly larger.
"Mr Rantoba, you seem to know our friend. Am I right?" ask Luna.
"Huh? What do you mean, Miss?"
"Aren't you supposed to have met my grandfather in Basaka?"
Rantoba's eyes widened. He had expected this before. However, seeing the confidence and atmosphere that became no longer under his control, made him forget about it.
"You?! That girl!" Did not ask, but Rantoba could already know right away. "You are Elder Bai's grandson!"
Bai Hua nodded. "Don't my grandfather tell you that something has made me unable to come with him to Basaka?"
Bai Hua had never met Rantoba before. However, he is somehow convinced that Rantoba actually knew him. It was impossible for someone who had a standing like Rantoba, not knowing the arrival of He and Bai Fan to this Mainland.
"Why didn't you say it in the first place?!" Rantoba.
"So, you think I should say in front of Edward that I'm the grandson of someone you sent to look for an heirloom more powerful than the nine weapons of world heritage?"
Bai Hua's question did not require an answer at all. In fact, Rantoba directly glanced left and right to make sure that no one heard Bai Hua's words. However, he just remembered that now they were on the train.
"Alright, now I understand the direction of this conversation. We should continue when we have met the King, when we are in Basaka later." Rantoba Disconnect.
