《The Strongest Weapon Of The Strongest Duo》Chapter 12: Reward
Advertisement
Catching his breath, Edgar finally reach the waiting room with all participants excitedly talking about the incoming next round, while some were already planning on what tactics they would use.
Remembering his errand, Edgar finds the two, Zhowen and Xialin, playing with the twins.
"Hey, Zhowen and Xialin, come with me for a while.."
"Where are we going, Sir?"
Seeing the serious yet anticipated expression on Edgar's face, the two was sure that it would be important.
"Just somewhere."
With the vague answer, the two children didn't bother to ask anymore, since they also knew that Edgar might not tell even if they ask, and just obediently follow, reaching the place where God and the 12 Saints sat.
"Greetings to the Great God!"
The two children were actually surprised to see their parents, glaring at them, before greeting the Great God. They didn't expect that the announcer would bring them here. Anxiety starts to eat them, thinking that they had done something terrible.
A handsome middle-aged man, the Great God has white hair and gives off a feeling of righteous aura.
"Great God, did you call us, the mere child of your Saint, here?"
Being taught by their parents how to greet the Great God, Xialin and Zhowen bow down, not daring to look at that face.
"Hahaha... You two were not just 'mere'. And Yes, I indeed call the two of you to be here."
"May we... have the guts to ask... the reason why the Great God ask us to be here?"
As Xialin was still trembling, Zhowen try to speak with Great God, comforting Xialin.
"I only want to ask the both of you about something."
"Can you please give us the honor to tell us what is it that the Great God wants to ask?"
"Haha... I only want to know where did you get the information about the token?"
"Oh, how... how can the Great God say that it came from both of us? We're still only a child, Great God. You overpraised us."
Zhowen and Xialin were surprised to know how the Great God know about the token and unexpectedly look at Edgar, who avoid their inquiring gaze.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing how these two children in front of him lied to him, instead of getting angry, he just felt like laughing, as the two were indeed quite smart.

The four Saints, the parents of the two, actually got worried when they heard the lie, but seeing how the Great God laugh, the four sighed in relief.
"Hey, Xialin, just tell the truth. We already know that it came from both of you. Edgar heard the two of you."
"Hahaha, I didn't know that you're child is good at answering."
"Even myself don't know why they become like this."
"Oh, so you already know it, Great God. We're sorry for lying. Please... forgive us."
Embarrassed, the two children felt like they already want to go back to the waiting room to hide.
"It's okay. Just tell me where did you get it."
As the Great God become serious, the two children also know that they can't deny it now or else their parents might be placed in danger. Taking the green book, The Origin of The World, Xialin gives it to the Great God.
"We just get it from an old book called The Origin of The World."
"Xialin, do you always carry books?"
Xialin's mother, Greylin, was actually surprised to sense numerous books in her daughter's bag. She can't help but feel embarrassed.
"No, mother. Zhowen carries it for me."
Zhowen, who was a little self-conscious, felt embarrassed, especially the way the Saints look at him. His mother, Frosty, smiled making him want to hide.
"What a gentleman."
A tall yet skinny saint, Peter, said, making Zhowen go red.
"Hahaha."
The four parents just went with the flow and laughed, as no words came to mind.
As the Saints were still immersed in their laughter, the Great God opened the book and immediately read all of its contents.
"Why can't I see about the token in this book?"
"Because you need to combine all the small details to arrive at that conclusion."
"So, can you tell us the part in which you get the information?"
As Zhowen accept the book, he began to search for the page that hold the information they used in their explanation. After a while, with Xialin's help, the two find the pages they were found, 30, 39, 45, and 60, before pointing each particular sentence as they show it towards God and Saints.
"According to all the travelers who travel around the entire world, the world can be said to be round or in circle shape as it has no endpoint."

"The energy in the surroundings can be considered as the roots of the world as they were the one who supports and gives life to all the living things inside the world."
"The Earth can be considered the kidney of the world as it was the one who filters the energy and makes it consumable while Heaven was the one who can be considered as the skin, as it was the one who protects the world from the outside and entraps the world."
"The Heaven and Earth Source were the ones who give birth to the energy of the surrounding."
After Zhowen showed all the details, all the Saints and even God were shocked and astonished by the wisdom that the two possess.
"What an intelligent child!"
"Thanks."
"Of course, after all, he's my child. Hahaha!"
"It really makes sense. Here, I will give this to both of you as a reward."
God was really pleased with the answer that Zhowen and Xialin gave him, thus making him grab something from the void, splitting it into two, and out of nowhere, two tyrannical and imposing weapons land on the hands of both children, as his gift.
A mighty and majestic sword, that was as long and big as Zhowen himself, fell on the latter's hand.
Made from lord-level silver metal, the sword contains the powers equaled to Lord Level Weapon.
The frame of the sword was like a long fence with a hollow in the center, having a mysterious crystal embedded in it, thus making the entire sword exudes a frightening aura.
Covered by an unknown flexible blue tire graven with a small figure sitting on the clouds, the hilt of the sword looks refined.
The hilt of the sword was covered by some unknown flexible blue rubber with a cloud shape and a small figure graven on it.
Fascinated by the sword, Zhowen slowly grabs it, getting an electric shock that rushes towards his whole body.
Even though it was long and heavy, for him, it was just like lifting a feather. He was really satisfied with the sword as his face was filled with excitement and joy.
On the other hand, an elegant and refined dagger fell toward Xialin
Having the same length of her arms, the dagger can't be considered short. Slightly curved and made from lord-level silver metal, the frame of her dagger became interesting as it also holds an equivalent power to any Lord Level weapon, just like the sword.
Blooming lotus under the moon, floating on a clear pond was plastered on its hilt, making Xialin bewitched to hold it.
Getting the same shock as Zhowen, she held the dagger as if part of her body.
"The weapons that I gave both of you were Lord-level Weapons. I hope that you will use it wisely. It was the reward for your explanation about this mysterious print."
God felt satisfied seeing those happy faces of his receiver.
"Thank you, Great God. We will use it wisely and treasure it dearly."
"Great God, there's only one thing I, this mere child, want to ask? Do we need to bring this weapon into this state?"
"Hahaha, you can shrink it."
"How can we shrink it, Great God?"
Xialin was also troubled, since they can't just bring their weapon, as big as this, to the waiting room.
"Just envelop your weapon with your own energy, then make it into any shape you like."
"Oh, thank you for your graciousness, Great God."
The 12 Saints just watch the two silently. They can't help but smile, especially the proud parents.
As the two cover their own weapon with energy, the two began to imagine a shape they want their weapon to take form.
Zhowen imagines the shape of a flexible belt while Xialin imagines a shape of a bracelet.
A moment later, the long sword slowly became a flexible belt, just fitted for his waist, making him more handsome. On the other hand, the refined dagger slowly became a bracelet, exactly locking her wrist, complementing her porcelain skin.
Grateful, the two once again thanked the Great God, before going back towards the waiting room with Edgar's guide, as second rounds were about to begin.
As they leave, 12 Saints and God immersed themselves in talk, talking about the wisdom and knowledge the two children possess.
"Only The Talented One Can Get A True Reward!"

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Sustaining the King's Life
On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid. ** 1-2 chapters a day (GMT+8) ** (The artwork belongs to me.

Chronicles of Rathia - The Era of Blood
Welcome to the Chronicles of Rathia. Contained within is a trilogy of stories which are all set in different time periods and with different characters. Each story has its own era from The Era of Blood, The Era of Magic and The Era of Demons. Read along the first in the series which is The Era of Blood where magic is still in an infant stage and where swords can dominate the battle field. In The Era of Blood, you follow along the first main character who had his memories wiped clean except for the most basic things in life. It is up to him to find out how to get his memories back and why they are gone. (If you don't like the story layout or characters, I suggest either just reading through or wait till the next one in the series is being released. With how it's set up, you can enjoy any of the three in the trilogy but of course reading in order will help give a better understanding of the world.) (Side authors note - I'm currently reworking the first several chapters as they are lacklustre to myself since they were originally a draft and not concrete at first. This note will stay here until all the chapters I wanted to fix up are done.)
