Chapter 1042: Myrth: 12

(Unedited)

…

It was the middle of the night and two bright moons are above the sky like silver orbs that shine upon the land below.

The two moons are called Mela and Jun.

They are named after the gods that protect the land in times of darkness.

Mela is the smaller moon while Jun is the bigger one. These two are husband and wife and are hailed as gods by the people since ancient times.

At this time, Xin Ja is currently internalizing the things that he has learned today. He has been recording the lesson that his teacher is teaching him. Although he understands everything, he still could not help but review everything in his mind.

It was his first-ever class and it has made him feel happy.

He was a bit restless in bed as his mind is busy with a lot of things.

Ever since he got interested in learning about science, his curiosity has been piqued. But he would not dare ask his teacher about the things that he is learning from his unique vision.

This is because it is his biggest secret.

He did not know how other people would react if they knew that he has something like this. They might call him crazy, or that he is possessed by evil spirits. And so it would make his life worse than ever. He did not want any attention towards him as he has already been used to not interact with others.

As the night drifted on, Xin Ja felt himself getting a bit sleepy.

Suddenly, he was jolted to awakening when he noticed something flashing before his eyes.

'Warning! Warning! Traces of hallucinogen and anesthetic substance are found in the body…'

'Warning! Warning! Traces of hallucinogen and anesthetic substance are found in the body…'

Those glaring words woke Xin Ja from his stupor. Upon seeing those words, he was a bit confused. And did not know what it means.

But then, he could feel that there is something wrong with his body. And yet he did not know what it is.

"Hallucinogen? Anesthetic? What are those?" he thought.

But he suddenly found his consciousness slowly fading until everything went black.

…

Xin Ja did not know what just happened to him. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself inside a dark room. He could not see anything around him.

When he wanted to move, he discovered that his hands are bound behind him.

"Where… Where am I?" he muttered as he tried to get a clear view of the place he is in.

Suddenly, when he tried moving his hands, he could feel the heaviness of the object wrapping around his hands.

The cold feeling from that object made him realized that he is actually bound by some kind of metal.

It did not take long before his vision slowly adapted to the darkness. And soon, he could tell that he is inside a small room with a small window. The window is covered with bars of iron which looks really sturdy.

He slowly got up and noticed that he is actually lying on a bunch of straws which acts as his bed.

"What kind of place is this?" he thought.

"Oh… Papa? Papa… Where are you?" Xin Ja called as his eyes darted in the four corners of the room.

Tears began to pour out of his eyes as he feels anxiety and nervousness. His breathing began to shorten as he feels his heart beating so fast that it's suffocating.

Xin Ja began crying but no one could hear his plea. He tried shouting and calling, but no one answered.

At this time, he has already given up. He knew that something happened while they were sleeping. He suddenly remembered when he was sleeping he saw some kind of warning from his unique vision.

He navigates through the control and then searches for the words, hallucinogen, and anesthetic. He read the meaning of the words his expression changes.

He knew that those substances are the things that knocked him out last night. From that, he already understands that he and his father were plotted upon.

His regret is just that he did not activate the runes in the house. If only he was able to activate the runes, then he would not be in this situation right now.

Xin Ja at this time felt a strange feeling of anger towards himself. This is because he is now worried about his father.

"Did they hurt Papa?" he muttered as tears once again slid down his cheek.

"No… I must not give up… I can't wait for others to save me. Although I wanted papa to help me, yet I could not always rely on him…" he thought.

Xin Ja closes his eyes and checked the condition of his body. He discovered that his Ki has not been expended.

Then he tried to use his strength to break away from the metal bracer cuffs. But it was to no avail.

"How can I escape?" he thought.

At this time, another bout of helplessness filled his heart and he became gloomy once again.

"No… wait there is a way…" he thought.

"But… I have not learned enough yet…"

He then closes his eyes and decided to spend some time learning the rest of the lessons from his unique vision.

…

A banging sound woke Xin Ja up from his learning. When he opens his eyes he discovered that it was already morning.

"Wake up!" someone shouted.

When Xin Ja saw a bulky man standing by the door, he immediately crawl to the side of the wall as far away from the man as possible. His body even began shaking in fear.

"Che… What a cowardly lad… Anyway, we can't let you die yet before getting some answers from your father… so you have to be feed. Troublesome…" the guy said with a sneer on his face.

His large stature made Xin Ja feel really scared, plus the sword hanging on his waist made the man looks more imposing.

As Xin Ja shifted his eyes to the small wooden plate on the ground and the so-called food on it, it made him frown a bit.

But he dare not come closer to the guy.

"Coward…" the guy snarled as he stood up after putting the plate of watery food on the ground.

He closes the wooden door and then locked it.

Xin Ja heard his footsteps getting farther and farther. And this made him heave a sigh of relief.

He did not want to touch the plate of watery food on the ground. He just looks around and could not see the small room that's made of large blackened rocks.

Last night, he did not check the room as he was really afraid and kept on crying for his father. However, now that he got his wit once again, he began to explore the small room.

There is nothing to explore as it only has four corners, cold and damp walls, and a rough floor with some traces of blood on them.

He is actually very scared right now, but he has decided to be brave for his father's sake.

"No, I must continue… learning." He muttered as he once again closes his eyes.

When he would feel hungry, he would just try to absorb the chaotic Ki in the air and he could somewhat feel full.

And so he spends the rest of the morning, in that state while learning from his unique vision.

…

Unknown to him, when his teacher, Old Wang came this morning, he discovered that his student is missing.

He then quickly checked the surroundings and found several fainted figures inside the storage shack beside the hut.

Upon seeing those masked figures, Old Wang was immediately angered and was about to beat those people up when he feel that the storage shack feel strange.

When he noticed that there is actually a rune formation inside the shack. Old Wang showed a hint of surprise and upon looking at those black-cloaked people, he sneered.

After checking the shack, he decided not to deactivate the runes, and let those people suffer inside the storage shack.

Those people have been trapped in that place for many hours already and he could tell that they have been suffering from the effect of the runes.

He glared at those people, closes the shack's door, and left the small courtyard.

He knew that his student was kidnapped and he not help but feel enraged.

Old Wang walks in the direction of the town's hall with a calm stride. He knew that if he panics, he would not be able to save his student. He needs to calm down and think of a way to rescue that child and his father.

At this time, he feels a bit regretful.

"I should have taken the father and son to my home… That way, the child would have a conducive place for learning…" he muttered to himself while shaking his head.

"Sigh… It's no use regretting now… it already happened. I have to save the child first, and then let them stay with me… That's right… That would be for the best." Old Wang has already decided in his heart.

It was seldom that he could find someone as talented as the boy.. If he did not do his best to teach him, then he does not deserve to be called by the lad his teacher.
