Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 103: XIV Familiar Faces (First Part)

One week later. Elijah and the squad leader named Zigan left the small camp on the monolith. Traveling south where Polaris City was located. Between the small camp and the city despite being close. They were separated by several dozen kilometers and numerous villages and farms.

During the previous week. The first thing Elijah noticed that he was not bounded by spell and incantations anymore. Now he could directly control his energy to turn into several different forms. Like his newest attack, Void Arrows. A technique he created forming a arrow with his pure energy and then infusing with his Void Law giving birth to a invisible arrow that could deplete 100% of the target's energy, vitality or spiritual force once hit by this arrow, but only if the target is one realm weaker than the user or the loss of energy will be much lower.

While they traveled bellow three huge suns. Elijah was nearly fainting because of the heat. So he had to use his vitality to cover and protect his body just like Zigan was doing.

Arriving a few meters away from the small Kine Village. Elijah and Zigan noticed dozen strong looking men wearing a black armor with a mark in the form of a blood dragon surrounding the village.

Seeing Elijah's gaze, Zigan murmured in a low voice to him.

"Don't do anything rash, those people are a mercenary group. The Blood Dragon Tribe. Because some villages are so far away from the village that it has an extremely harsh atmosphere and pressure making very hard to cultivate and they do not receive the Polaris's protection. So there were hundreds of this mercenary or bandit groups that would extort the villager in exchange for protection. The blood dragon tribe is one of the strongest in here the south of the B-ranked region. Not even the city guards would dare mess with them." Zigan seemed a little afraid of these mercenary groups as he knew they were connected to someone from the high echelon of Polaris city.

As for Elijah, he could not help himself from raising his brows in surprise while noticing there was something going on between these Bandit groups and the management of this Polaris City.

So the further away one was from the city, the unlucky one was. Having to pay taxes to those groups that could rob or kill them at any time.

"There are six thousand people living here. Making this village one of the smaller ones. The larges ones have up to one million people living there. I'm going to have a talk with the village chief, you can walk around the village in the meanwhile." Zigan said. Waking to the courtyard of a british looking manor There were currently five middle aged man and woman chatting within the manor with pale faces and skinny bodies because of hunger. Zigan waked over to a middle aged woman who was the tallest of everyone there and went to talk with her.

At the same time, all the villagers had gathered in the middle of village waiting for the Blood Dragon tribe to collect the taxes. There was not a single person who would dare to not pay the taxes because if they were to not pay the taxes to the Blood Dragon tribe, they would directly kill them.

In the middle of all those people, there was a young couple walking to the crowd while chatting.

"Little Lu, I had so much difficult to find you and make you remember me and now we are stuck in this damn village having to live under the banner of those bandits and paying their taxes." Keith said, felling helpless before sighing.

The Keith here was the same Keith Elijah met back then and the girl was precisely Luna, the girl Elijah saved when traveling to Valhalla Academy. After leaving Galdirth, Keith traveled across the continent until he discovered that his loved one he thought he could let go was living at Valhalla Academy. Reaching there, he knew that she had drink the potion he gave her to erase her memories and was taken away by two servants of his family that pretended to be her parents and that she was from a humble birth.

Now they were together and for some reason living in Peuh Star. "Keith, don't worry. Now that we are together, I do not care about what type of life I'm living as long as I have you." Luna walked to his back and said with a gentle voice on his ear.

After so many years, Luna was much more mature than before, despite having simple face features. Her body was slender and had perfect curves for a fourteen year girl. Her hair was cut short and her hands were full of calluses from having to work on the field.

Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Eh? Keith and... Luna?" hearing the voice, they turned their head around to have a look at the source of the voice.

They saw a elegant and handsome youth, probably in his twenties. a short light brown hair, delicate face features and his bright and profound grey eyes.

They immediately recognized who he was. Felling astonishment, they exclaimed in unison.

"Elijah!"
