Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player



After the exciting conversation with Duke Frugold, Xisrith carefully watched every move and expression of the influential member of the royal court. The gleam of interest in the Duke's eyes made it clear that he was seriously considering Xisrith's words about his people and the possibility of having a land protected by them in Vrikhodour.

Duke Frugold raised an eyebrow in a gesture of curiosity and genuine interest, showing that he was fully engaged in the conversation. He rose elegantly from his seat and approached Xisrith with calculated steps. His keen eyes roved over every detail of her face and posture.

"You descendants possess unique abilities and extraordinary potential," Duke Frugold said in a grave tone, addressing Xisrith directly. His voice was filled with respect and consideration. "Protecting Vrikhodour could benefit both sides in many ways, but it would also bring responsibilities and challenges."

Xisrith remained silent, feeling the gravity of the Duke's words. She knew he was right and understood the importance of taking on such responsibilities. The Duke paused for a moment, letting his words reverberate in the room as he considered the possibilities.

"If you desire protected land and official recognition, we must consider these demands," Duke Frugold continued, a hint of mystery in his voice. It was obvious that he was aware of the implications and complexities involved. "Vrikhodour needs strong allies in these turbulent times. Shadows are rising and bonds of lasting trust must be maintained."

Duke Frugold turned his gaze to Kaizen and Xisrith, showing a slight tilt of his head as a sign of respect. His countenance expressed firm resolve and an understanding of the stakes involved.

"I will speak to the king about what has been discussed here today. I promise that his words will not be in vain," Duke Frugold said with conviction. "If there is a way to achieve peace and mutual cooperation, we will do our best to establish such an alliance. Of course, since the situation of the Descragons is urgent, I will speak with him today. You can stay at one of our houses to rest, and tomorrow I will come personally to bring you the answer.

Kaizen and Xisrith felt a mixture of hope and gratitude upon hearing Duke Frugold's words. The presence and support of an influential member of the royal court was essential to the success of their mission. The Duke's positive response lit a spark of hope within them and fueled their determination.

"Thank you for your consideration, Duke Frugold," Xisrith replied with a respectful tone in his voice. "We are glad to hear that you are willing to work together to achieve a better future for both parties."

The member of the royal family nodded, his expression showing a mixture of seriousness and determination. He understood the importance of building a lasting and harmonious partnership.

"May this be a fruitful partnership for all of us," Duke Frugold said, his voice filled with optimism. "The wisdom and power of the Descragons is vital to our kingdom. I promise that your requests will be carefully considered and discussed with the royal court. I recognize the importance of building a harmonious and equal society.

With Duke Frugold's promise, Kaizen and Xisrith were led by Valerius, one of the kingdom's representatives, to a beautiful home in the heart of the city. The imposing building featured ornate stone walls and large windows that offered a panoramic view of a bustling square filled with restaurants and cafes.

As they entered the house, a feeling of comfort and coziness enveloped them. The elegant, well-maintained furniture created a warm, sophisticated ambiance. A crackling fireplace in the center of the main room warmed the room, emitting a soft light and creating a pleasant atmosphere. The representative of the kingdom, Valerius, whose bearing and mannerisms reflected his elevated position, greeted them with a warm smile and offered them comfortable seats. As a sign of welcome, he poured them a glass of local wine, the enticing aroma and refined taste of which completed the experience.

Though the hospitality of the house was pleasant, Kaizen and Xisrith soon felt a sense of anxiety. They were eager to explore the unknown lands, to feel the pulse of adventure coursing through their veins before Duke Frugold's long-awaited visit. After a few minutes of rest and pleasant conversation, they made a joint decision.

As they left the house, they were once again immersed in the lively atmosphere of Vrikhodour.

As they made their way through the streets, Kaizen and Xisrith admired the city where players of different races, classes, and kingdoms congregated. The sound of excited voices and laughter filled the air, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

"Let's go down to the docking port. Down there, we might find a wilderness area to farm a bit," Kaizen said.

"Go down? What do you mean?" Xisrith looked confused.

Kaizen was a little surprised to hear this question, but he smiled and explained:

"It's better that you see for yourself than that I talk."

When they arrived at the airship docking port, Xisrith finally realized that the city they had been walking in all this time was actually a flying island.

When they reached the docking port, Xisrith marveled at the scene before her eyes. An imposing structure stretched out before them, a series of moorings supporting the giant airships. The huge floating ships were safely moored, swaying slightly in the air as if ready to take off at a moment's notice.

Movement in the harbor was frenetic, with crews busy loading supplies, preparing the ships, and performing maintenance on the giant balloons that propelled the airships. Shouts of orders and the metallic sound of chains and gears mingled in the air, creating an industrial symphony.

Xisrith marveled at the complexity and ingenuity of the docking system. Thick, shiny metal chains connected the ships to anchor points strategically placed on the platform. Flexible and strong cables, woven with magical cloth, kept the airships stable and secure.

The docking port was a stunning vision of engineering, where the harmony of technology and magic merged to create a magnificent structure. The soft, bright lights that illuminated the area added a touch of charm and mystery to the environment.
