Chapter 11 - the sun has warmed the city

With the dawn of this morning...

Shocking news spread across the Kingdom of Matalia and the southern part of the Central Continent by the international newspaper Star. 

Star is considered the most important newspaper in the world.

It was established 2,000 years ago by the first emperor of the High Zelda Empire to counter rumors of the Great Chen Empire from the Eastern Continent.

Since then, the power of Star newspaper has spread around the world to such an extent that the High Zelda Empire can no longer control it.

This morning, the Star newspaper published an article about a local event in the south of the Central Continent.

Although the article was a simple news item, it gained widespread attention due to the intervention of one of the nine great powers, the Holy Church of the Central Continent.

The article read as follows 

"""

 Three individuals had killed the Redpig, one of the Seven Lords of the largest organization in the Kingdom of Matalia. Black Fingers

An unidentified man, an A-rank hunter, and a 64th-rank holy knight, Solia, from the Holy Church. 

The Black Fingers organization attempted to request an official explanation from the Holy Church, and the Kingdom of Matalia did the same. 

However, the response from the Holy Church was strange.

It stated that it was prepared to send one of its 16 heresy investigators to investigate the case, which forced both the Black Fingers organization and the Kingdom of Matalia to back down and not provoke the Holy Church any further.

After that morning, the Kingdom of Matalia gave all rights and authority to the Holy Knight Sulia to investigate the case and crimes of the RedPig, on the condition that she hand over the prisoners to the Matalia court. 

All of the RedPig's strongholds, gambling houses, brothels, slave trade, illegal real estate production factories, and hallucinogenic drugs were wiped out, and the criminals were handed over to the Matalia court.

All of the RedPig's possessions were confiscated, sold, and given to the needy in the city of Jolan. 

The Holy Knight Sulia was promoted from rank 64 to rank 59 by an order of the Great Holy Knight 9, one of the 12 Great Holy Knights. 

A monetary reward of 25,000 sel was offered to both Hunter Bulkan and Karsa, but they both refused it.

One was confused by the RedPig's words about his daughter, and the other believed that what he had done was his duty.

In a well-known criminal bar... 

Karsa was sitting with Nuna eating breakfast, and Nuna seemed very happy with the delicious food she was eating, as her two red cheeks were full of rich food. 

 Karsa frowned and said, "Nuna, stop eating like that, you'll choke yourself." 

Nona pounded her chest to get the food down. 

"Baaah... You have to eat quickly or others will come and eat your food and steal it. I was stolen from a lot in the past... "

Look, Nona, at the ground with a sad face. 

"I was even beaten sometimes for no reason... It hurts, don't they know that? The beating... It really hurts... They should have just taken my food instead of beating me too..."

Nona looked at Karsa with tears in her eyes. 

"But Nona must keep smiling, right? That way, Nona can be a nice girl...?"

Karsa put her hand on Nona's head, hugged her to her chest, and said "Yes, Nona, you did well. A good person is someone who always smiles... But now you can eat at your leisure. No one will touch a hair on your head, so just eat at your leisure". 

Nona cried even more after that gentle touch and kind words from Karasa, words she had never heard in her life. 

Half an hour later, Karsa and Nona went to a branch of the Holy Church in the city of Jolan to meet Sulia. 

The church branch in the city of Jolan is a local branch under the administration of the Holy writer, one of the church's sacred writers, and under the military administration of the Holy knight 59 Sulia. 

 

The branch was a huge building for the city, with long white columns carved with gray decorations and a white wooden gate with 12 stars, each star in a specific color. 

 Nona was amazed by the church, which combined majesty and luxury.

Nona's mouth was open and her saliva was flowing. 

"Wow! What is this place? I've never seen it before. Was it hidden by magic?" 

Sulia appeared from the door and replied to Nona with a smile. 

"Haha, do you like it, Nona? You can stay here if you want. I'll feed you."

Nona excitedly replies, "Wow! Really? Nona wants to be a knight like you. Is that possible?" 

Sulia smiles as she lifts Nona up into the sky. 

"Of course, Nona. With your talent, you might even become a general."

Nona's eyes sparkled. 

"Really?!"

Sulia nodded her head, confirming her previous statement. 

Karsa spoke with his usual serious expression. 

"Can you do me a favor, Sulia?" "

Sulia put Nona down on the ground, who immediately ran after a butterfly. 

Sulia: "Yes, of course. You have already done a great service to the people of this city." 

Karsa: "I want you to take care of Nona and train her in sword fighting, if possible." 

Sulia smiled and laughed a little. "Haha, of course, Mr. Karsa. You don't need to say that. I was already planning to take care of Nona... By saying that, you mean you're leaving, right? ... May I be a little rude and ask where you plan to go, Mr. Karsa?"

Karsa sighed a little and looked up at the sky, then looked back down at the ground and said, 

"I'm looking for my daughter. I left my expatriate just to look for her."

Sulia was shocked by Karsa's words and thought to herself, "Is Mr. Karsa's daughter missing? Wait, did he say 'my expatriate'? .... I shouldn't ask any more questions about this. It seems... that worry has weighed heavily on Karsa's eyes." 

Sulia smiled brightly. 

"Good luck, Karasa. I hope you find your daughter." 

Karsa looked at Nona and called her over. 

Nona ran over with childlike enthusiasm. 

"Yes, Uncle Soldier!." 

Karsa smiled for the first time in a long time while talking to someone.

"I'm leaving, Nona. Take good care of yourself and eat plenty of food.... Nona, you are stronger than anyone I have ever met in my life, so train hard to become a great knight and protect me when you grow up... Promise me that." 

Nona's eyes filled with tears and overflowed at Karsa's words. Wiping the tears from her eyes, she said, 

"Yes! Just wait for me. I will become a great knight that even dragon kings and demon kings will fear." 

 That was the farewell of the child Nona, who later truly became a great knight. She led the kingdom of Matalia to a greater and brighter future, and she also knew that she was the knight whose strength was recognized by Karasa, son of Numan. 

As Karasa left the city limits of Jolan, he found himself facing vast green plains, towering mountains, and dense forests, while distant clouds covered the blue sky. 

 Bulcan was dressed in black leather armor and carried a green sword that did not seem to belong to the Central Continent at all, and also... 

He seemed to have overcome his sadness. He waited for Karasa at the gate 

with a kind smile. "You haven't forgotten, right? Destroy the organization before the end of the month." 

Karasa smiled and replied lovingly, "Yes... I haven't forgotten that."

 On the border between the kingdom of Matalia and the coastal kingdom of Rubana, which lies east of Matalia, 

Lunan and PigPig had heard the news from the Star newspaper.

 Despite PigPig's sadness, his deceased father's will had convinced him to turn his back on his past and move on to something new.

PigPig decided to follow his father's will and be like his mother, who was nicknamed "the generous angel" in the city of Jolan. 

PigPig sat on a rock watching the sunset in front of him, while Lunan stood to his right. 

PigPig with smile and tear s "My father was good but ... he was not a father , i was good son to him but ... not to evryone , but my mother .. my mother ...she was truly... a mother to evryone ." 

And this was the beginning of the man who later became known as the Angel of Goodness and raised the kingdom of Robana from a corrupt state to a state that represented goodness and generosity on the continent.
