The Black Ice Dragon Legend
chapter 22 instructions
On a cold night, a crescent moon hung in the sky, uncountable stars scattered across the night sky, as well as transparent clouds drifting through it.
In an old building filled with bushes and vines, some people were whispering. They were 5 people, two people from outside and three people from inside. Both from the outside and inside all wear all-black clothes with a cloth that covers his face. His movements are very suspicious.
One from the outside took out a wooden box with some decorations around it. He handed it to one of the insiders whispering, “you should be able to take care of it, otherwise, I will not give it any more.”
The guy accepted it, Then replied, “hehehe, you take it easy, we have experience in this for several years, most likely to qualify very small.”
“Alright, If so I have to go.” After saying that, two people from outside walked away.
The man carrying the box saw the two men leave. Then when it was not visible, both of his eyes twinkled looking at the box in his hand.
The two slightly fat men behind him knew what his partner was going to do, they quickly looked at each other and nodded.
When the man wanted to open the box, one of the fat men behind him patted his shoulder, then said, “bos, we have to split everything evenly.” The man turned to his other colleague. “right, ‘kan?”
“Iya boss, we have to split it.”
“Huh. You think this is the wage you give? Look at this.” The man then opened the wooden box and showed the contents to the two greases.
A dim expression instantly adorned the two fat man's faces. They thought it was his pay, it turned out to be an additional list of tasks. Drowning one of them said, “then where's the pay, boss?”
“I don't know either, but for sure we will get a lot of money. Heheh.” The man stroked his chin while imagining some much money he would receive after this.
“then why is the boss happy with the box?”
“Stupid! With this box, we can get more money, and if that happens, then we will be rich. Hahaha!”
Seeing his boss happy, the fat man was also happy. He happily said, “you're right boss, I can live happily after this. Eat a lot, sleep all day. Huh, I can't wait to feel it.”
“But.... when will we get it?” asked the other fat man, who made his boss and one colleague speechless a thousand languages.
After being silent for a while, they finally replied limply. “I don't know.”

“simo, do you want to ask me out?” tanya Namila while walking beside simo. They went towards the snow mountain town square with a purpose of not knowing what.
Namila suspects that Simo asked her out because the town square is very beautiful and romantic when night falls. There will be several lights lined up to decorate the town square. Some people sit enjoying the moon and most of those who visit are teenagers who are intoxicated in love.
“Can be in say so.” Simon answered without looking.
“really? But do you know what a date is?”
There was a sense of wonder and disbelief in what simo said, because namila knew simo came from a remote village where all the inhabitants had little knowledge of it. Namila also knows that even though Simo has learned, she definitely does not know what dating is.
“that's some kind of visit?”
Apparently true, simo does not know what a date is. Hearing that, namila resentfully said, “not. It was kind of a special event for couples.”
“pair?” simo frowned, like he didn't know what a couple was. And that's how it happened. Simo does like Namila, but he does not know if they are a couple.
“already, we focus on walking.” Namila closed the conversation in annoyance and walked faster.
When they arrived there, Namila immediately took simo to take a walk to enjoy the beautiful square, they visited flower gardens, green trees, fountains and more. Fortunately, the atmosphere was quiet, so they could spend time together without any distractions.
Simo actually wanted to say something, but seeing the excited namila invite him, he undoes his intentions.
While sitting somewhere, Simo was finally able to say the very thing he wanted to say. Simo said there were some clues as to the whereabouts of the ivander and Kenzo, although he was not sure yet, he wanted to check the place he was suspicious of. According to what he had obtained, several times it was seen people going there with suspicious gestures.
“where did you get it?” Namila asked.
“I told some people to do an investigation. He said that only the building was suspicious. Can you help me?”
“Of course, but since when did you do that investigation?”
“a long time ago, but only this time I got a hint. Maybe because it's too remote and too far away. Did you know about that abandoned building on the edge of that forest?”
“it's a creepy place. Formerly, it was a factory set up by the citizens of the snow mountain town. The residents set up it to produce wood to meet the needs of the city at that time. However, as time went on, the wood was not used much, as a result of which the price of wood was low, and caused residents to choose to leave it. For since when is it closed I don't know.”
Namila took a breath and continued, “I found it when I left home. When I found it, I was amazed and amazed by the beautiful building with its beautiful bushes and vines. What I remember most, was that beautiful white flower. Do you want to take me there?”
“maybe.” Simon replied hesitantly.
“Do not lie yes, if you lie I will not forgive him.”
After that, they continued their journey through the park again, but not to go deeper, but to go home. Although it was the shortest and unpleasant date, namila felt happy, especially if the square was very quiet visitors, it made her happier.
On the way home they talk about some things about his past and an accidental meeting. They also talked about how strong the enemy they would be fighting later on when it started the test. Although Simo had prepared everything, he was still worried about it, moreover he did not know anything about the students in the academy.
Upon arriving home, Aoba was already sitting in the hall with a sharp gaze towards simo. Simo quickly approached him and saluted. Although Aoba looks angry at simo, simo knows it is the gaze that his grandfather always gives when testing him.
The gaze has been given several times to simo to train his mentality, so it is not easy to bluff. Aoba knew, mental strength was one of the keys to victory against a powerful enemy, especially if his enemy had strength many times higher than him.
If you meet a stronger enemy, aoba hope simo is not afraid after feeling his strength, instead, he tries to be calm and find a way out. If fighting it is not possible, then running and negotiating is the right thing to do.
Aoba sighed, then drank his drink.
Now Aoba's face is wrinkled and his hair is also gray inedible age. Aoba predicted that he would soon die. But before that, he wanted to train simo as well as he could.
“what is Grandpa okay?” hearing Aoba sigh, Simo became worried about his grandfather's health. Even though he knew his grandfather was strong and had a cultivation that was not low, he knew that grandfather's body was a Human body that could be sick at any time, moreover, his Grandfather was old.
Aoba shook his head slowly, then said, “ Grandpa has sent a spy to investigate the case of your friend's disappearance. Grandfather also investigated the man's residence, and he did participate in the kidnapping, but we can't kill him now.”
“why can that be?”
“if that person is killed, the person behind it all will become vigilant. If that happens most likely we can't find them both.”
“kakek's right. What will we do next?”
“after doing the investigation, grandfather has not been able to confirm whether it is the place or not. But, regardless of all that, we should be able to go in and investigate it ourselves. You take it easy, Grandpa will send someone else to do it, but if you want you can do it yourself.”
Simo was silent for a moment, then replied, “I will think about it.”
After that brief conversation, Simo went to his bed
