Chapter 5 - The birth of a new star

I lay down on a large bed, after Maria had shown me all around the house, I noticed a few interesting things. 

The first one is The picture of The first king of Henneson with Zyphero, and base on what Maria had told me. She said. 

"Master Zyphero was like a brother to King Henneson. They were the reason why Argarnas was founded."

"And if I remember correctly, He said that, It was King Henneson's ideal that he wanted to built a country where everyone and every races can live together under one roof and coexist with each other, He wanted his country to be a utopia society."

"At first, Master Zyphero was kind off against his ideal by saying, It's impossible to make Humans, Beast, and Demi's to live together due to their arrogant and self-pride but, King Henneson didn't give up."

"He said to him, There's nothing impossible in this massive world that we live in, It's only impossible when we set our goal and not fulfill it."

"And those words somehow manage to change Master Zyphero's whole perspective about King Henneson's ideal. Thus, making him changing his mind and he decided to help King Henneson on his ideal about creating this utopia society."

"10 years later, The first city of Argarnas was born, The city of Irilium."

"Master Zyphero even told me that, The process of building Irilium was a really hard task for both him and King Henneson, And both of them almost battled against each other due to King Henneson's lack of experience in political game."

"He got tricked by the second king of the lizard beast, He told King Henneson that he promised him that he would do business with his kingdom but, In the end, His city was raided, his citizen wee kidnapped, and everything was burned down to the ground."

"And that lack of experience made Master Zyphero enraged so much that, He went to the lizard kingdom and slaughtered nearly every lizard beastfolks before he decided to destroyed its whole kingdom and reduced into nothing but ruins..."

"And because of Master Zyphero's action, It made King Henneson mad, And both of them had an argument where they would kill each other. But, It was then resolved later because of a little catfolk."

"At that point, I didn't remember much on what she said that had both Master Zyphero and King Henneson stopped their fight and made an oath, That they will not be against each other again and will continue to work together."

"And fast forward to current day, The once small kingdom now turn into a total power house where everyone are living with each other peacefully."

After hearing the story of Zyphero And King Henneson, I was in awe on how much of enthusiast they were when making such an impossible feat and turning it into a reality. This just show how much of King Henneson was to Zyphero. He was truly like a brother in arm to him.

And for as the second thing that I took an interest is, This house personal blacksmith but, It's not like any like other blacksmith. Sir Fernarl, A demi-lion. His appearance may be short but, He got a fierce face that fills with both determination and passion. 

At first, He may seem to be intimidating to me, But when I strike a conversation with him, I noticed that he's probably one of the most friendliest member of this house, just like Maria. Despite both of their appearance that looks pretty much intimidating...

But, one thing I found interesting about is that, He was taught to be a blacksmith by Zyphero too. He told me that.

He was once an orphan and a trouble maker around the city. He often bumped into people who are carrying their stuffs and even stealing people's food and money. He was basically a pain to dealt with back then.

And not for long, one day as he's running around and creating chaos, He suddenly bumped into Zyphero. At that time, He didn't who Zyphero really is and even saying things like.

"Hey! Watch where you're going nimwit!"

He said that is the most regrettable thing he had even said in his life, especially to Zyphero himself, and you guessed it, Zyphero grabs Sir fernarl then throws him high up into the air and crashing into a river. And the worst part is that, He can't swim at that time so when he was thrown into the river, It nearly drowned him but, he was quite lucky that a log was floating near him.

Then from that day on, He set his target on Zyphero. Although, He never succeed in pranking him nor even made him lost his mind. He just kept getting tossed into the river over and over again. Eventually, He learned how to swim. After he had been thrown into the same river so many times. 

But, his determination on pranking Zyphero didn't stop. He even got to the point of causing trouble in the palace but in the end, He still getting his ass thrown into the river again...

And because of his determination, When he swam back to the shore, There he met Zyphero landing him a hand. 

At first, He was confused on why is he helping him but, he set his thoughts aside and grabs his hand and goes back up.

And there, Zyphero ask him

"Why do you keep on doing things when you know you're gonna fail again and again?'

That question from him made Sir Fernarl a bit stunned. At first he didn't how to answer his question and just looked at Zyphero in his eyes, and eventually he gave him his answer.

"Why do I keep doing things when I know that I'm gonna fail... Well It's because quitting your goal that you've set in your mind mid way is not something that you could do easily."

"Once you set your goal, you'll find a way to achieve it, no matter what, no matter how many times I'm gonna fail. I'll get up again and again until I achieve it!"

And upon hearing such determination from Sir Fernarl. Zyphero just smiled at him and unexpectedly, Sir Fernarl kicked him on his nut sacks successfully. But, He also told me that, Zyphero only letting him because he didn't to break his determination spirit inside of him and he eventually let his guard down.

From that day on, Zyphero took him in and took care of him. He even taught him how to wield any sort of weapons and he eventually taught him how to craft weapons, enchant it with rune magic, and even taught creating armors that could withstand extreme attack from powerful enemies.

He basically taught everything about the necessary things about a blacksmith. He then made Sir Fernarl his own personal blacksmith room for him. He said told me that, This is the most valuable gift he had received in his entire life. 

Now for the last and most interesting thing, That I've seen so far around this house, Is...

"H-Hey... M-Maria..."

"Is that..."

"A DAMN MECH??????"

I was in shocked upon seeing a gigantic mech, hidden inside a base, and by going there. We had to use a sort of teleportational device, which is also hidden inside in one of the room in the house.

The process of opening the door that leads to the mech was complex. But, Maria had access to the room by a small card chip, Which was given by Seelie.

She also told me that, This whole secret room and base were built by Seelie. She also said to me that, Only Seelie and her had the access to these rooms.

Now back to the mech thing... 

Maria let's out a soft giggle after seeing my reaction when seeing a gigantic mech sitting in the base.

"H-Hold on... You mean..."

"Seelie built... This thing... ALL BY HERSELF??"

"Hehe, Yep!"

I look around the base and to my surprise, There were a lot of more mech but, all of them are incomplete. 

It was hard to believe that, only one person was capable of building such thing? And not to mention, She's also the guild's strategist, engineer and DOCTOR???

Upon hearing such revelation about Seelie, I was at complete loss for words before we continue to look around the place even more, until i came across room, that are stocked with ancient magic artifacts.

And just as i was about to enter the room.

"Just where are you going into?"

Seelie appeared out of nowhere and walks up to me with the same fierceful look in her eyes.

"Oh uh... I was just..."

"Going into the room without my permission?"

I look down on the floor and not dare to make any eye contact with her.

Seelie look down at me before she lets out a sigh and pinched her forehead.

"Maria... Didn't i say not to bring anyone into my base?"

"Ahhh... My apologies for breaking your promise but, It is safe to say that, Oudom is trustworthy enough to be in here."

"besides, I'm sure that he would keep the secret about this hidden base."

Seelie glaring at Maria intensely before she letting out another sigh and turn away.

"Just... kick him out of my lab already..."

"Mhm! Alright then!"

Maria then took my hand and walks to the direction of the teleportational device and returned back.

"Alright then, I guess that's much is everything around the house."

"Oh right! I almost forgot Master Zyphero's request."

"Well then, Oudom. Why don't you go and stay in your new room for now?"

"Oh okay."

With that, Maria walks off to the kitchen and leaving me on that hallways...

Now, I'm in my new room, surprisingly, the room is pretty big and is well equipped with luxurious furniture. 

Not for long, I get off from the bed and walk up to the window to view the scenery outside of the house, There i can see the city of Irilium far away from here with a large forest being surrounded around house.

And just as i was enjoying the peaceful scenery, The same system notification pops up with the same quest.
