I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

After playing around, Angus and his little family leave the room and find a magnificent scene through the window.

"Angus.. Look… Look… There's a big triangle!!" said Anna while pointing at the Redmore city on the horizon.

"Pyramid?!" commented Angus.

Everyone could find a massive tall pyramid through the carriage's window from far away. They could also see a few high-rise ziggurat-like buildings behind the tall wall. All these buildings and the towering wall is made of stone combined with a red-colored accent.

"Pyramid? What's that?" asked Anna back.

"Ohh… It's those triangle shaped buildings. It seems we are faster than we thought." replied Angus back.

They sit nearby on the nearby couch and wait for the carriage to arrive at the Redmore.

The situation is quite awkward since everyone is silent and not talking to each other. Angus still didn't like the Altras' elder, who forced the true crafter and smashed her pride. On the other hand, Elder Tedar also didn't want to create more problems.

As long as Angus is still with Mira and Darren, the Nirvas must endure and avoid creating trouble with the other party. Tedar knows just Darren alone is enough to decimate the whole Nirvas. The Ancestor Vampire is not called Darren the thousand army for nothing.

The situation would become tenser if not for Anna, who is humming happily and looking outside. Compared to others, she is more like a tourist arriving at a new place.

At this moment, Mira comes out of her room while still lying on her flying pillow and reading her storybook.

"Ahh… Mira!! Look, there are a lot of big triangles!!" called Anna to her best friend.

The taciturn silver-haired girl replied with a nod as usual after glancing at the pyramid on the horizon. Then, Anna kept dragging her friend to look at the surrounding scenery. Outside Redmore city, they could see vast, beautiful agricultural land.

The land is filled with many kinds of vegetation for consumption. Most of the vegetation is Red Padi. Red Padi is the main staple food in Nirvas. It looks like a big red bean and tastes sweet, but it produces a greasy texture inside the mouth.

Most people didn't like this greasy texture and chose to not eat it. On the other hand, it is the most delicious staple good for the Altras race.

Some of the little girl's remarks about the scenery gain Elder Tedar' proud smile until Anna suddenly suggests Mira burn the whole area. Fortunately, Mira refuses her by shaking her head and lazily lying on her flying pillow.

A moment later, they arrive at the Redmore city gate. Like before, they pass through the city gate without trouble.

Because it is the high season and the Nirvas are still in the middle of the festival week, the Redmore is very crowded, with more people coming from outside.

Maroon Eternity isn't just an important festival but also one of the times when a big family gathers or people go on vacation. Despite having some gruesome and nasty parts, it is still a festival that most of the Altras enjoy.

Since the road is too packed with people, Angus' group decided to walk and move slowly with the carriage. This way, they could also explore the Nirvas capital city. As they already see from a distance, Redmore is filled with different buildings.

Most of them are made of stone and have a pyramid or ziggurat shape. The building itself does not match the current snow weather. Most of their stony buildings are designed for a hot climate. On the contrary, Nirvas has four seasons like most of the kingdoms.

Still, no Altras is bothering with the cold, snowy weather as the weather has little effect on their body.

After walking for a while, they arrive at the Heart embassy. As one of the nearby big kingdoms, Heart Kingdom got permission to build an embassy inside the Redmore.

Entering the embassy, the Heart knights immediately bow and welcome Angus' group. In contrast, Tedar and his group are forced to wait outside.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Phineas Glowspark and I am the current head ambassador at Nirvas. The Crown Prince already informed us about your arrival." greeted a fat man wearing expensive noble clothes.

"Welcome to Nirvas and Redmore city. We are already preparing the accommodation for everyone." added Phineas with a business smile.

The Duchess didn't reply and glanced at Phineas for a moment.

Seeing the Phineas didn't change his expression at all, "Sure. Good work. Make sure you give Master Mira and Master Darren the best accommodation." said the Duchess while sending everyone away.

Angus and the others didn't stay idle and followed Anna. The little gluttony ran off with Mira after sniffing something delicious a moment ago.

"Anyway, where is my nephew?" asked the Duchess.

"The Crown Prince is still meeting with the Nirvas' elder." replied Phineas.

"They still have not finished?! Is there a problem?" asked Duchess Amberblaze.

"No. It's just that the Nirvas' elders are too busy these days. Most of it is because of the Maroon Eternity festival. We barely had time to get an opportunity to meet with the Nirvas' elders. Today we should be able to conclude the meeting if nothing is going wrong." explained Phineas.

Seeing Phineas' same business smile and straightforward explanation, 'This guy is quite competent despite his fake business smile. Why is he sent to this remote place as the head ambassador?' thought Aunt Extalia.

Then, Aunt Extalia asks a few more things about the negotiation, the meeting, and Nirvas's life. On the other hand, Angus and others stay in the garden. Not far from them, Anna eats mountain-sized food while Jayna tends to the little gluttony.

Using this free time, Angus begins to refine his chi. It's been a while since he refined his chi, as he couldn't be distracted by others and needed a very safe environment. Angus' action immediately attracts Anna, Mira, and Darren.

Darren could feel a subtle dangerous feeling from Angus. Even Mira frowns at the young man meditating not far from them. Before they could do anything, Anna appeared in front of Angus, having an unusually severe cold expression.

Her pitch-black eyes even look more menacing than before. It is like she will devour and kill anything close to her. She even ignores the mountain food nearby. Mira glances at Anna's unusual action for a moment before returning to read her story.

"M-Master…" said Darren.

Before Darren could speak more, "Darren." called Mira with a cold tone.

Understanding his master's intention, Darren immediately sighs while shaking his head and glancing at Angus for a moment.

'This energy is dangerous and pure. It seems he keeps producing this unknown energy. What a bizarre phenomenon. He is truly an anomaly.' thought Darren.

On the other hand, Jayna didn't say anything and sat near Angus, waiting for him to come out from his chi refining. She knows chi refining is an arduous and meticulous task. Angus already told her some basic knowledge about it, which was utterly mind-blowing for her.

Even if she has perfect mana control, she will not dare to do chi refining. Only monstrous people like Angus, who has perfect control over their bodies and high adaptability mind, could do refining chi for hours.

Despite the life-threatening risk, Jayna didn't stop her boyfriend from refining chi. She could feel they would be exposed to danger ever since they arrived at the Redmore capital city. Be it her Fire Phoenix's instinct or her combat intuition, it keeps alarming her.

This feeling is also felt by Angus and Aunt Extalia. Angus even finds a few strong combatants in the capital city having the same feeling. He sees these few strong combatants' restless behaviors while walking to the embassy.

This reinforces their idea that something terrible will happen to Redmore city. They don't know when this bad thing will happen, but they need all the strength they can use to avoid any unwanted accident.

Meanwhile, an Altras woman wearing a lab coat observes dimly glowing blood inside the special glass tube. The woman looked focused while writing something in her notebook.

"Teacher, you are back." asked another person from the laboratory's door.

Nabe didn't reply and glanced at the only person who claimed to be her student. The person has a small stature, red skin, and an innocent childish face.

"Ehh.. What is that?! I could feel a very powerful aura from it. Is that another one of the teacher's dangerous experiments?" asked the child-like Altras.

However, Nabe still does not reply and glares at the other person.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Why don't you say anything?" asked the child-like Altras while slowly approaching Nabe.

During this moment, Nabe has a frown expression and gives a smirking smile. *Piiippp* *BLLLARR* Instantly, the whole area near the child-like Altras is covered with light and a massive explosion occurs.

Despite the intense explosion, the whole room and its equipment remain intact. The only thing that is gone is the child-like Altras who is nowhere to be found. Seeing the child-like Altras gone, Nabe returned to her dragon-blood research.

At the same time, a piece of charred meat suddenly appeared not far from Nabe's underground laboratory. The meat wriggled for a moment before turning into fully grown Altras.

"Huff.. Huff… Fuck, it hurt!! What the hell is wrong with her? Why did she suddenly want to kill me?!!" cursed the Altras.
