As soon as Anon looked at the machine, he used his skill…
[Demonic Eyes.]
[Name: Movement Sensing Trigger.]
[Origin: Unknown]
[Description: This magical artifact can sense any movement in its surrounding environment, and once any suspicious movement is captured, it will immediately send a signal back to its receiving end. Mostly used in auto-opening doors.]
‘Interesting…’ Anon thought as he sat down to observe the machine from a closer distance.
It looked like a small box made out of wood, on its top, it had a very small diamond-like magic crystal, and on the sides, 4 golden pistons that were working at a very fast speed, without making any noise.
The box had three small umbrella-like objects on its three sides.
Anon gently grabbed the small magic crystal on its top and removed it very carefully. As soon as he removed the magic crystal, the box stopped working.
“This thing is made with very good knowledge of engineering…. I wonder, who made this?” Anon spoke as he observed the movement-sensing trigger carefully without touching it.
“The dwarfs…” Faith spoke from behind.
“Hmm…?” Anon looked at Faith with a confused expression.
“Here… look at this corner. This is the same sigil of the Dwarves. They built this, and, to be honest, I knew they made it, because no one else in this world can make things like this,” Faith spoke as she pointed towards the upper left corner of the box.
Anon immediately noticed that Faith was right; it was the same sigil that he saw on the missile.
“How do you know if it’s a real sigil? I mean, someone could’ve copied it and painted it here to start a war between you guys?” Anon asked.
“Here… use this,” Faith spoke as she gave a small metal stick to Anon.
“What is this?” Anon asked.
“Hold this stick above the sigil…” Faith spoke.
“Okay…” Anon did as he was told and started hovering the metal stick over the Dwarf sigil.
Suddenly, the sigil started glowing bright red in color.
“Okay… is that the sign that it’s real?” Anon asked.
“Yes, it’s drawn with a very rare paint that glows in different colors every time you hover this stick over it,” Faith answered.
“You mean if I hover it… once again-” Anon spoke as he hovered the stick over the sigil once again, and this time it glowed purple in color.
“Yep, it will change color,” Faith spoke.
“Woah… this is some kick-ass technology,” Anon spoke as he stood up and returned the stick to Faith.
“So, what now? Should we inform this to the Queen?” Faith asked.
“Well… I can’t say for sure. If this were to be a fraud and you guys started war with the dwarfs again, it would be chaos. I suggest you guys go and talk with their leaders in peace first, and-” Before Anon could conclude his conversation, he sensed things coming towards them from the sky.
Anon immediately summoned his sword and looked back at the sky. Suddenly, he noticed big birds flying in the sky with elven knights riding on their backs.
“Don’t worry, they are here to rescue us. The path of land is not safe anymore; we have to go through the air,” Faith spoke.
“Good…” Anon spoke as he took out a cigar from his inventory and lit it up.
“Where are you going?” Faith asked as she observed Anon going toward the other direction.
“To get that box and search for the source of these missiles,” Anon replied.
“I will come with you,” Faith spoke.
“As you wish…” Anon spoke as he picked up the movement trigger box from the ground and threw it inside his inventory.
Swish
The birds landed on the ground, and the knights immediately stepped down.
“Where is the Queen?” A knight asked Faith with a neutral expression.
“In the carriage…” Faith spoke as she pointed toward Fiona’s carriage.
The knights immediately stepped forward and surrounded the carriage at once.
The knight captain opened the gate slowly.
“My greetings, Your Grace… we are here to save you. Please come with me.” The knight commander immediately bowed down and greeted Fiona.
“Oh my god, Andrew… you are here, thank God. Let’s just go. I want to go back to my castle as soon as possible,” Fiona spoke as she slowly walked out of the carriage and started walking toward one of the giant birds.
Faith walked up to Anon with an annoyed face.
“What happened?” Anon asked.
“Well, that guy took all the credit again. I saved her so many times from assassination, but every time… he would come with his team and take all of our credit. But this time, I don’t mind it… since you are the real credit holder this time, it goes to you this time, Mr. Jule. You brought her back from the dead, and he can’t take that away from you,” Faith spoke as her annoyed face expression turned into a smiling one.
Suddenly Anon noticed a knight from Andrew’s team coming toward him.
“Sir, Andrew has ordered both of you to return to the kingdom; he wants to interrogate both of you,” the knight spoke with a tone filled with attitude.
“Let’s go…” Faith spoke as she turned to look at Anon.
“You go; I have some work to complete,” Anon spoke as he took a puff from his cigar and started walking toward the other direction.
“Oi, don’t you understand? Our captain has ordered both of you to return to the kingdom,” the knight shouted from behind.
“Yeah, Yeah… Forget it now,” Anon spoke as he continued to walk toward the other direction.
‘I would’ve stopped him from doing this, but if I stopped him today, he will never stop talking like that. That’s why I will just stand here and enjoy the show…’ Faith thought as she observed anger appearing on the knight’s face.
“You, son of a bitch… come back here,” the knight shouted as he started walking toward Anon with a furious expression.
“Oh, that one is going to cost him one or two bones at least,” Faith spoke as she looked at the knight carefully.
As soon as the knight reached near Anon, he grabbed his hand and tried to stop him forcefully.
“Didn’t you listen, what I-” Before the knight could’ve said anything else, he saw a punch coming directly at his face with incredible force.
Crack
Thud
“Oh, Shit…” Faith spoke as she looked at the knight with a very shocked expression.
As soon as Anon’s punch hit his face, his neck broke, and he died right there.𝐨𝘃𝗹.
