The screen was split into two sides. The left side showed the map of the kingdom while the right one was blank white.“Since we have wasted around 15 minutes explaining the answers and giving you time to rest, we will immediately start the second round as soon as my the instructions are done. So make sure you listen closely because I will not repeat it.”The participants braced themselves and focused.“The second round will be held inside the castle walls, right here. You will be given time to finish it until before sunset. That means the second the sun hits the horizon, the time is up. You will have to partner up in this round with another participant. So there will be fifty people against fifty people, and I’m sure you can already guess how many people will make it to the next round.“This round still revolves around puzzles,” that earned complaining noises in the background, but the MC continued, “But you have your partner

As Darrion took the last Rumble cookie, he tried wrecking his brain for the first and the second part of the puzzle."Three is your answer, oh but you only need two. Maybe it means that they are the answer?" Darrion asked.Jai sipped on his tea, "Because they're twins?"Darrion nodded, "Exactly. Either that, or we have to at least solve two puzzles before we can be considered passing the round."Jai put down his cup and looked at the street. "That is not entirely impossible. But I think we have to solve this in correlation of every line. What's the rest of the line sounds?"Darrion swallowed before putting up his fingers, counting, "Three is your answer, oh but you only need two. It goes very simple even hatchlings like it too. What am I?"Jai hummed, "They sound quite correlated with each other. But why do I feel something is missing? I just don't know what.""Hatc

*Author’s note: A humble apology for the misstypings in the previous chapter. Life has been quite busy and we are trying to catch up with our update schedule, so there were few bogeys breaching our walls. But we will try better for future updates. Salam. - There was a slight tension in the air—an uncomfortable one. They had to convince Julio to get their answer to the puzzle, because his relationship with Darrion had to convince him somehow to help. Or at least, he hoped the man would help. Jai tried convincing, “In a good side, we are able to promote your shoes by bringing yours to the checking table.” Julio gave another hum and turned to him. His expression was painted with doubt, “I don’t know. Giving away my shoes like that doesn’t sit well with me.” Darrion looked at Jai, wanting to discuss whether they should change stores, bu

"They are those who have not solve the first puzzle, but are determined to finish it right away no matter what method they use." Jai was thinking what Diggle meant by that. He did not feel anything wrong with that sentence. The last phrase though, sounded similar to saying that there was egoistical or selfish emotion involved. "I'm feeling something from the last sentence. Do you remember when Mr. Diggle said, 'no matter what method they use'? It was like, it's saying that, they will do anything to win. But they dismiss the consequences that might come up," Darrion said, doubtfully. The blonde was still not used to think hard over things like this, but he was determined to try. "Yes, I'm thinking the same. It involves selfishness, and we had seen that happened a couple times in the first round," Jai responded. He put the show box down on the porch. "It's clear as day that those people were visibly vi

Wind blew gently passed the buildings and the people below. The sun was setting, and it painted the sky with a soft hue of orange, pink, and purple.Bubbles of light gathered in strings were set in between post lamps in the streets of Aeronvein Castle. Stands for festival were also decorated with lights and other lighting decorations to attract more customers.The streets were very crowded, and seemed to be more crowded than in the day. There were more stands selling small goods and snacks. Some people were also performing on the streets. They were dancing, performing fighting styles, element controlling... Some were also doing stand up and making people laugh. All of them entertaining passerby, children, and stand workers alike.In contrary to day time that was very crowded, the Grand Square was not that crowded during night time. People were bustling on the streets rather than the square, since there were more stands now to look at.
