The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 225 - Peringrer Town- Part Two-

"We will arrive in a couple of hours, Alfonso"

"Mmm…okay"

Alfonso rubbed his eyes, he had just woke up, a gloomy scenario greet him.

"Woah, it's not like Wasteland Valley, but it's pretty close" Though Alfonso.

"No wonder people call this place, the town of rain" Murmured Alfonso.

"My lord, you can see the town from here" Shouted Hygeia.

"It's looks quite impressive, not as good as Arcadia, but still… it's quite the view" Said Alfonso.

"Yeah, Peringrer it's the oldest town of all the north, when I say the oldest I mean it's that, in all the history of Leitol, it hadn't change its name nor their status" Said Hygeia.

"Good, it since that you are also going to the classes of history" Said Alfonso.

"I… they were free… so…" Said Hygeia with embarrassment.

"I am quite happy that you go actually, I thought that not a lot of adults liked to go to class" Said Alfonso.

"That's quite true, the night turn is emptier than the morning one, however, since teacher Pythagoras began teaching, the number of people attending the class has increased" Said Hygeia.

"Oh? Little Pit is teaching?" Asked Alfonso.

"Yes, since a couple of weeks ago… however, I don't know maybe I am a bit paranoiac, however, it seems that Little Pit has… something… I don't know how to describe it, however, it makes you want to learn more from him, at the same time, you believe what he said as it was the absolute true, this only happens when he is teaching math" Said Hygeia.

"Really?"

"Like I said, maybe I am just being paranoiac… ah! There was also one more thing…" Said Hygeia while looking at Alfonso curiously,

"What… what is it?" Asked Alfonso.

"Little Pit, well, when he is stressed, he do this gesture that his majesty does, you know… rubbing your eyebrows" Said Hygeia.

"…" Alfonso was speechless.

...........

"Here we are, is Peringrer town!" Said Hygeia.

"So, this is Peringrer" Said Alfonso.

Peringrer was an interesting town, talking about the infrastructure of course, the roof of the houses were made in such a way that the water would slide from it and end in the gutters.

That's right, Peringrer had a gutter system that let the water end up when its needed and don't affect the roads inside the town.

"Quite advanced" Though Alfonso.

In front of them was a huge entrance and, by each side, was a guard.

This wasn't the first time that Alfonso has encounter this, after all, passing Arcadia and Tulip town, Alfonso had to do a check out.

"Halt! Was your purpose in coming here?" Said the guard.

"Hello, we came from Wasteland Valley, I am here to negotiate with the lord about commerce routes" Said Alfonso.

"And who maybe you be, that you believe you had the authority to see the lord?" Said another guard.

"I am the current lord of Wasteland Valley" Said Alfonso.

"Ho? You are the lord?" Said the guard without changing his expression.

Of course, the identity of 'Lord of Wasteland Valley' didn't mean anything at all , according to everyone knowledge Wasteland Valley was a godforsaken land.

"It will take you some time to meet the lord, if he wants to see you, that's it" Said the guard.

"Okay" Answered Alfonso.

He could feel the air of superiority that the guard emanated, even his expression was like that, in short words, they were looking down on Alfonso.

Did Alfonso care?

Not in the slightest.

Alfonso was about to enter when the guard stopped him once again.

"1 gold, each" Said the guard.

"Overcharging?" Though Alfonso.

He took out seven gold coins without saying anything.

The guard smiled and let them end.

Alfonso and company entered and everything ended there.

"Watch your back tonight"

A cold and sinister voice entered into the guard ears.

He shivered and turned back, he felt a pair of eyes looking at him.

However, he couldn't see anything.

"Did I just imagine that?" Though the guard.

Alfonso parked the carriage in a nearby farm and pay people to watch for it.

"Well, this is awkward" Though Alfonso.

Because it rained a lot, the roads inside the city were always wet, and, because he used a cane, he almost fell down.

""Let me help you""

Nobody knew who talked first , however, When Alfonso turned around, he saw 6 pair of hands offering their Help.

Alfonso was touched…

But, no for long…

In Artemis's case.

"Artemis, I remember saying, 'help me walk'" Said Alfonso with frustration.

"That's what I am doing" Said Artemis.

"CARRYING ME LIKE A PRINCESS ITS NOT HELPING ME WALK!" Said Alfonso.

"It's more efficient this way, don't worry, you are very light" Said Artemis with confidence.

""How manly"" Everyone though the same.

In Io's case.

"Io…" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

"Don't say, my lord, ughh" Said Io with a shadow on her head.

Alfonso looked down and saw Io, who was laughing with a bitter smile.

"She is too short" Said Artemis.

"Short"

"Short"

"Short"

"Short"

The word was like an arrow, piercing Io's chest.

In Aphrodite's case.

"I thought I said, help ME to walk" Said Alfonso with anger.

"I am helping you though" Said Aphrodite with a smile(?).

"HOW IS ME CARRYING YOU LIKE A PRINCESS HELPING ME!?" Said Alfonso.

"Is helping you"

"Your self-esteem, that's it" Said Aphrodite.

Alfonso's mouth twitched, he let go of Aphrodite.

"Ahh!"

In Hygeia's case.

"Sorry, my lord, my hands cant touch anything that is medicine material" Said Hygeia's with case.

In Dionysius's case.

"…"

Dionysius looked at Alfonso and then, he sat down at a corner side by side with Io.

"Too short" Though Alfonso.

In the end, the one who had to help Alfonso was Demeter,

The seven of them walked in the town, searching for a place to sleep.

Eventually, they arrived at an inn and they separated three rooms.

"Ok, now that we have everything, let's split, I have to go to see the lord here, Artemis, please accompany me" Said Alfonso.

"I understand" Said Artemis.

"I will go seek people who wants to go to my hometown" Said Hygeia.

"Go with Dionysius, he will protect you" Said Artemis.

"Okay~" Said Dionysius.

"I want to explore this town~" Said Aphrodite.

Alfonso looked at Aphrodite with worry on his mind.

"Io, go with her, prevent her for getting into trouble" Said Alfonso.

"As my lord wishes" Said Io.

"And you" Said Alfonso while looking at Aphrodite.

"Please, I won't ask you to do anything, just don't get in trouble, okay!?" Said Alfonso.

"…" Aphrodite was speechless.

"I will go to sleep, I haven't slept well since we left Wasteland Valley" Said Demeter.

"Got it" Said Alfonso.

The seven of them when on their way, doing their own things.

Alfonso, with Artemis's support, this time, of course, Artemis support Alfonso with her arm, when to the manor of the lord of Peringrer, Salir Peringrer.

"This town, is pretty liver" Said Alfonso.

"Depends on which town are you comparing this town with, is you compare it with Wasteland Valley, of course if is, however, if you compared it with Athena, then, this town is as death as a corpse" Said Artemis.

"Agree" Said Alfonso.

The two of them walked through the marked, when they saw a huge crow surrounding something.

"What's with the commotion?" Murmured Alfonso.

"Wait, listen" Said Artemis.

Alfonso closed his eyes and sounds began to enter his ear.

"Someone is singing…" Though Alfonso.

He and Artemis walked forward and saw a young man with a guitar singing while playing with the guitar.

"It's a minstrel" Said Alfonso.

The young man played really well, his voice wasn't something too awesome, however, the lyrics and the melody were spectacular.

The lyrics told a history, a history of a hero who ascended from the commoners and defeated the evil with the help of his enchanted sword and his bravery.

A very common topic, however, the melody make it very pleasant to the ears.

Alfonso was absorbed by the song and he closed his eyes to enjoy it.

A few minutes passed and the man finish his song.

A round of cheers from the crow, Artemis and Alfonso included, sounded in all the market.
