Chapter 24: Aram the Master Sage
“It should be somewhere around here,” Philippo said to his friends, squinting at the extremely small numbers on a wooden plank nailed onto a barn’s door, where the house number was, by law, supposed to be written. “Yeah, this is it. Master Aram should be inside this barn.”
The barn was positioned in front of a large farm with a large pond, vast rice fields, horse stables, and cowsheds.
“Good day, Master Aram! It’s me, Philippo, your apprentice!” Philippo shouted.
There was no reply. “Master Aram, are you in there? Hello? Anyone home?” Still no response.
“He might be working in the fields,” Rhina suggested.
“This isn’t good. It’s already getting dark!” Ishida said anxious

“Time to get up, Ishida,” a voice said to Ishida in the middle of the night. “Get dressed and come with me. I have something— or rather— someone important to take you to. I will be waiting for you outside.”The door to the cabin was then shut with a soft creak.Ishida sat up, rubbed his eyes, and stared at the curtains. He could see the shadow of a person standing outside, cast by the silvery pale light of the moon.After buttoning on a fur coat and rubbing some water on his eyes, Ishida headed outside. As soon as he opened the door, he could feel the cold night air biting on h
Lost City at Sea Chapter 26: Twelve Piletan Bombers Over the Sea
Now, let us wind back the hands of the clock to the afternoon of the day before, when Karlos Monte, lieutenant of the Medietan Land Army and commander of the Medietan 33rd Battalion was having a conversation with a messenger on the deck of an old troopship on which five hundred soldiers under Lieutenant Monte’s command had embarked. The lieutenant had received a direct order from Emperor Derisus the Third to send his forces to Medietapolis as reinforcements because the Piletans were about to attack the capital city. Lieutenant Trento, a good friend of Lieutenant Monte’s, was also ordered to travel to Medietapolis. Lieutenant Monte was about halfway to Medietapolis when the messenger, who had escaped from Medietapolis on a scout plane before crashing into the ocean and being rescued by the troopship.
Lost City at Sea Chapter 27: Storming the Beaches
While a group of soldiers helped Lieutenant Monte onto a landing craft, the burning troopship began to sink. But by then, all the landing craft were in the water.“Behold, the tide is rising! We will be able to land much closer to shore than I had expected. Listen carefully to my orders,” the lieutenant said to his men.“Fifty men will scale that cliff and attack that enemy cannon while another fifty men will cover their assault from the bottom of the cliff. You are to capture the cannon, causing as little damage to it as possible, and use it to support our landings.“The rest of you will storm the beach with me. At the same time, another force of five hundred men under Lieutenant Trento will join our attack from the northeast. We will

As Lieutenant Monte and his men approached the enemy trenches, the lieutenant received a call on his walkie-talkie. “Hello, this is Karlos Monte of the Medietan Land Army. Who is speaking to me?” “Hello, sir. I am the agent that you have hired to follow Paxis Pontellius to Del Cealus. I am currently standing in front of the city of New Ajens, waiting for your orders,” “You’ve arrived at Del Cealus? Good! What took you so long to call me?” “I am deeply sorry, sir. I didn’t count on being attacked by Piletan ace pilots who were also searching for Del Cealus. My slow plane was hit dozens of times, and I was afraid I wouldn’t make it. But then, a miracle happened. A storm cloud appeared out of nowhere and wreaked havoc on the

“How much longer do you have to keep flying in circles like this, Henrique? We’re running dangerously low on fuel,” Roberto yelled at his brother, who was driving their biplane. “All the other pilots are running low on gas, too,” he added. “We’ve been flying for almost twenty-four hours now!” “Can’t you see that I’m trying to concentrate? I remember these crescent-shaped islands. We were flying near them when I was hit in the face by that nasty beret. That means we have been flying in circles for some time now. If it weren’t for that child, we wouldn’t have to be doing this!” Henrique retorted. “It’s hopeless. We’re going to have to land and refuel to be able to continue searching for that flying donkey,” “How
Lost City at Sea Chapter 30: Takao's Plan
When Takao heard Zenoch fire the missiles, he immediately realized the danger he was in. He had tested some prototype guided missiles before, and thus, he knew exactly what it sounded like when they were fired.Takao turned around and saw that all four missiles were coming his way. The second-best pilot in all of Piletus should know better than to fire all four of his missiles at once? Zenoch must have gone raving mad, he thought. His rage and desire to punish me are blinding him.Having fired the missiles, Zenoch turned his plane around and headed away from Takao as to not be in range of Takao’s bullets.He knew that the

Around the time Zenoch and the Renaldo Brothers arrived at Del Cealus, Ishida and his friends were departing Master Aram’s farm for King Rexius’ palace.“Why can’t I go too? Grandma Nina said that I’m a big boy now,” Jameck whined.“Mrs. Sakai will take good care of you,” Master Aram told the boy. “You’re too young to come along— the mountains are very dangerous. Even a master sage like me injured myself several times while going over them. Falling rocks, avalanches, and snowstorms aren’t hard to find on those mountains. The best for you is to stay here.”“What makes you want to go with us?” Ishida asked.

The three travelers waited until everyone was done moving before getting onto the train. Rhina sat down next to an elderly lady whose head was covered by a shawl. Ishida and Master Aram remained standing and let the other passengers take their seats.“Hello there,” the old lady said to Rhina. “Would you like to have some cookies?”The lady handed a small chocolate chip cookie to Rhina. “If you like it, I’ll give you another one.”“Thank you.” Rhina smiled. She took the cookie and bit into it. “Amazing! Did you make this yourself?”The lady nodded happily. “Here, gi
