Chapter 6: Ron
The good thing was that there was no shortage of other people also on foot so he didn\'t seem out of place.
Those people had different destinations.
When there was a four-way intersection, everyone also divided into different directions.
Aldric was heading towards Spring Hill.
When he entered one of the roads, there happened to be a wide but shallow river on the side of the road, full of stones so the river looked clear.
He could see small fish in the river.
Sometimes there were people fishing, relaxing under a large tree that shielded them from the sunlight.
"I think I need to try something first."
Aldric thought of something, it was about using Swallowed Sky.
He could feel that Swallowed Sky\'s suction power was something he could control.
That was what he wanted to try, he wanted to control its power to the point that he could make his target just unable to leave but not be sucked into the black hole.
"That fish!"
He pointed his hand at a fish that was standing still.
Suddenly, a not-so-large black hole appeared behind the fish.
It was also something that could be adjusted, depending on what size he wanted it to be and it could appear quite far away from him as long as it was within his power range.
The fish, realizing there was danger behind it, immediately swam forward.
However, the suction power of the black hole instantly pulled at it, making it move backwards even as it continued to swim forward.
"Mm..."
Aldric reduced the suction power of the black hole to prevent the fish from being pulled into it.
When he increased his focus, it finally worked.
The fish stopped moving but not because it was stationary, but because of the balance between its swimming speed and the black hole\'s suction force.
"At this rate, it won\'t be hard to catch the Queen Bee!"
Aldric smiled with satisfaction, confident that this mission would succeed in his hands.
He continued on his way again, quickening his pace so that it looked like he was running.
After about 30 minutes, Aldric finally saw a green hill that was quite high.
It gave off a serene vibe with the wind coming from it relentlessly while the grasses flew in the direction of the wind.
Sometimes there were deer feeding, looking bigger than deer on earth.
From the moment he saw the hill, Aldric immediately saw a large villa beside it, surrounded by a high wall with an open gate.
Even from afar, he could see swarm after swarm of bees flying over the villa.
"Is it over there!" His eyes then saw a small cottage surrounded by an iron fence so small that even mosquitoes would have trouble getting in, let alone bees. It not only protected the cottage from the sides, but also from above, even below.
Aldric walked towards the cottage, which looked devoid of people from afar.
However, when he arrived nearby, he saw an old man inside the cottage, lying on a cloth swing with his legs crossed, seemingly asleep.
"Sir!" Aldric called out to him from outside, unable to knock on the cottage door due to the distance between the iron fence and the cottage.
Unfortunately, he was not awakened by his call, looking like he was actually fast asleep.
He searched for ideas to wake him up and finally decided to simply shake the iron fence.
Unexpectedly, the force he used turned out to be more than he expected.
The iron fence was shaken and it then shook the cottage, resulting in the old man falling off his swing.
"Ahhhh..." He instantly screamed, holding his back with a bad expression.
His eyes quickly fell on Aldric.
"Brat, what are you doing?" he asked in an angry tone.
"I\'m here because I received a mission from the Golden Lion Guild to get rid of the Queen Bee in your villa," Aldric replied while showing the token he was carrying.
Ron narrowed his eyes when he saw the token, his emotions slightly lessened.
He forcefully stood up.
"I thought no more would come after so many failures. Son, are you sure you can get rid of that Queen Bee? She\'s fast and protected by her colony," he said as he walked over to him.
"I\'ve come to try and I might just succeed," Aldric replied.
"Hmph!" Ron seemed unconvinced.
He eyed him up and down and looked like he wanted to shake his head.
However, instead of shaking his head, he waved his hand.
"Then go, I\'ll wait and see," he said.
"Okay!" Aldric nodded.
The old man probably thought he was saying nonsense, there was no point in continuing to talk to him. He just needed to prove his words.
Quickly, he walked towards the large villa while Ron watched him with narrowed eyes.
"This boy didn\'t even bring a protective suit. Does he want to die?" He wondered before returning to his swing.
Death was the risk of this mission, he wasn\'t responsible, so he didn\'t care.
Aldric quickly arrived in front of the gate where he could see the entire villa clearly.
It had two floors with a size of about 70×80, made of golden stone.
What was interesting was the large number of beehives hanging on the walls of the villa, occasionally dripping gold-colored honey.
With that number of beehives, who knows how many liters of honey could be collected.
That was a lot of money.
Aldric had not been disturbed by the bees yet, but he could sense their vigilance.
If there was any suspicious movement from him, they would surely attack him immediately.
\'It\'s strange that such a large swarm of bees would live in a villa, what exactly do they want?\'
Aldric wondered, knowing there must be something to the reason the bees were staying here.
