Chapter 437 - 437: Trouble in Estel part 4

[In Estel's Orphanage]

[Liyana point of view]

After the fake first prince were subdue by the old hero Mr Filvisar and his trusty ghost butler Mr Claude, we try to apprehend them, and right at that moment, a strange silver barrier was erected all across Estel, causing those four Doppelganger of the first prince to disappear entirely. As if they were attracted to the barrier, or rather, like school going children rushing back home to their home

Panic ensure, and Sir Crow, Ray, Mile and I decided to go to the orphanage first and foremost, bringing along with us the corpse of Sir Ceanu Reaves, where

"I'll preserve the corpse first" [Filvisar]

"Please... Do so..." [Crow]

"Let me help with it" [Claude]

While those two are trying to preserve the corpse, Ray are busy trying to get a phone call for those adventures outside. He try calling Mr Jacks, his parents Mr Borg and Mrs Lin as well as their figurative uncle and aunt figure Mr Syah and Mrs Mimi. He even try to call Lily and Kadeus outside, but to no avail

As for me and Mile, we try our best to distract the ever curious younger group, as they sense something bad will happen. Not only that, we don't want them to see Sir Ceanu Reaves corpse, at least not on such condition. It will be a nightmare inducing for them, and as such, we gather them around Mahsuri, which has not moved an inch from her usual favourite spot. Be it the younger boys trying to drag her by force, or the younger girls trying to apply makeup to her, she didn't move. Even the sudden appearance of the silver barrier did not bother her one bit. Mile and I can tell she knew what happen outside, just that she couldn't bother dealing with "small" issue like this

(I guess it's better than her not being here, at least with her around we all feel safe) [Liyana]

She's literally the strongest one among all of us, even stronger than the SS rank adventure, The Saga Khamishah from Malsia

"Right. Please excuse us" [Vampire Guard A]

The Vampire Guard, confirm that the phone call he make to his friend inside the country is still functioning. Mile also did the same, able to call the Valkyrie Juniors that are still inside Estel but unable to call her captain nor the one outside of Estel

"So, what should we do?" [Vampire Guard B]

"For now, can you guys confirm the situation with King Estel? I will try to gather any information with fellow adventures that are still available inside of Estel. Ex guild master Ram should already take some of action" [Ray]

"Then I'll do the same with any remaining Valkyrie" [Mile]

"Then I'll be the relaying point. Please, tell me anything new" [Liyana]

"Usually it will be Princess Diana the one that we will relay all the information, but given how you're close to her and always there to help her, then we will trust you with it" [Vampire Guard A]

That's good and encouraging to hear. Just as they are all about to head out

"Call from our master, Charlotte" [Serpie]

"I barely receive the signal" [Housey]

"It will be disconnected, so we better boost your signal instead!" [Calypso Tree]

The three Fortress Defense Magic Core of the Orphanage claim that they receive a signal from Charlotte, who are now currently inside the mountain dungeon alpha, a place with no coverage. Still, geographically speaking, it make sense

They display Charlotte static blurry video images and her voice that are now being amplified by neutral magic. The signal feels like it will be disconnected anytime soon, so all of us focuses our attention to not miss out anything

"That's good, any updates on Estel?" [Charlotte]

"I detected some sort of barrier that try to prevent any outsider from..." [Serpie]

And true enough, the line disconnected before Serpie can finish it sentences. We try calling back through Serpie multiple times, but to no avail

"Liyana, can you try again? In the mean time, all of us will first gather the necessary information" [Ray]

"I will! Be careful!" [Liyana]

And thus, they went out, and not too long afterward, Sir Crow did the same, as he went toward some potential noble houses that may know what's going on. It's highly unlikely, since I'm sure the first prince will only tell a few handful powerful noble, but it's worth trying

(For now...) "Serpie, Housey and Calypso Tree, may I ask you something?" [Liyana]

"""Yes???""" [Serpie, Housey, Calypso Tree]

First, I ask Calypso Tree to gather around any fairies that's inside Estel. While there aren't many fairies as compared to their natural habitat in the forest dungeon, having even a small number of them around should be useful. While I am only acquaintance with Farhah, I'm glad Calypso Tree agree to relay my message to the fairies, and that massage is simple, help the other gather around any information

As for Serpie

"You're not as strong as Master Charlotte nor Ash, but... It's worth the try" [Serpie]

"I am well aware of that, but thank you for trusting me" [Liyana]

If Serpie can get Charlotte just now, than we should simply try again and again, but again, there's zero result. Think... Think... How can I get through them...

(But does it really need to be them?) [Liyana]

They're all busy, I'm sure they'll face difficulty in Mountain dungeon, and as such

"Can you connect me with the adventure just outside the Rock and Sea dungeon?" [Liyana]

"I'll try" [Serpie]

Again, the result is nill, but

"Can you create any golem from the connected portal stone inside the Rock and Sea dungeon?" [Liyana]

"Just barely" [Serpie]

"What can you create?" [Liyana]

"Some low level golem. The barrier prevent me from creating anything powerful outside of Estel" [Serpie]

"I see. That's plenty, for communication at least. Please, can you create a water slime golem just outside the Rock and Sea dungeon" [Liyana]

"I will" [Serpie]

Now, let see if we get any results
