the golden hummingbird part 2
cp23
"With this medal I stand before you, not as the young lord but as the lord's representative, my words are the lord's words, my will is the lord's will, I hope you understand that" John spoke with authority leaving no margin in his words.
The two leaders recognized the medal from miles away and knew very well about its importance, as well as what it represents, they did not consider that it was fake, the medal radiated an aura discernible to sonar, that was not all John's attitude when speaking to them made them uncomfortable adding Felícia to the equation that radiated danger, they found themselves between a hard place and a rock.
After going through the pros and cons, Kassandra and the barbarian one had a tacit understanding, John represents the lord's will, Felicia had the power to annihilate their regions with just a thought, with this combination of authority and power, the two leaders could no longer hide information.
With the lord's authority, John could make any decision, and with Felicia's power backing him, who would dare disobey? When the two realized this, they thanked the goddess for not disrespecting John for being a child, otherwise the consequences would have been dire.
" Young Lord, Barbara understands the young lord's words, as such I am willing to offer all my sincerity" Barbara spoke in her harsh voice
" Young Lord, I, Kassandra, am willing to cooperate." Kassandra spoke with even more respect.
"Young lord, the Barbara Bo tribe wishes to make an agreement with the young lord, my tribe has been loyal to the lord for several generations of warriors" Barbara was speaking when he was interrupted.
" Young Lord, the Water Clan would like to make a deal as well," Kassandra spoke as she looked at Barbara with hostility.
By this time, Kassandra and Barbara knew that pulling John to their side was the most effective way to end the war between them in their favor, with just one word from John one side would be annihilated in a moment.
Kassandra and Barbara one, the two used their sonars to send a message outside the tent, Isa and John didn't notice anything, but Felicia noticed, she decided to ignore it after the two didn't show any hostility
"Matriarch of the clan and chief of the tribe, can you tell me the reason for this war?" John asked blankly.
Barbara one, looked at Kassandra with hostility and said "Young Lord, a while ago a statement was released from the capital through the Mercenary Guild, the statement mentioned a golden Hummingbird.
"Golden hummingbird?" John asked
" Young Lord, the Golden Hummingbird is an extremely rare bird in the kingdom. It possesses a spatial elemental core when grown. The Hummingbird can fly through space, covering great distances in just a moment. Due to its nature, the Golden Hummingbird appears randomly and no one can predict its location," Barbara explained in her rough voice.
" The announcement in the Mercenaries Guild said that a lord of the kingdom would give up one of his recommendation spots to the Institute if someone had a Golden Hummingbird on hand." When the word Institute was spoken, a sparkle flashed in Barbara's eyes and in Kassandra 's .
"And how is all this related?" John asked confused.
"Due to the great luck of the Barbara Bo tribe , Chief Barbara Three in his adventures located a golden Hummingbird.
Felicia, who had been impassive the whole time, leaned back in her chair and began to listen to what the barbarian was saying.
" The Golden Hummingbird was newly hatched, even so the Bo barbarian tribe would not be able to capture a Golden Hummingbird without the help of at least three primary mages, due to past corrections the council of the three barbarian chiefs decided to ask for help from the Water Clan, thanks to the help of the three mages of the Water Clan, the Golden Hummingbird was successfully captured" Barbara threw a newly had look at the matriarch of the Water Clan.
"Unfortunately, the water clan was not content with the reward that the Bo Barbara tribe had prepared beforehand, instead they had their eye on the golden Hummingbird, which is why we came to this war and as a consequence the supply of meat and fish was interrupted at the same time.
John couldn't quite grasp the situation; he apparently underestimated the importance of the institute, or perhaps the importance of a golden hummingbird. The golden hummingbird was something that would cause a war between two regions, but that wasn't yet clear to him; he sensed something was off.
"If the young lord is willing to make a deal with the Bo barbarian tribe , I, Barbara, one... " Before he could even finish his words, Barbara one was interrupted.
"Young Lord, the Water Clan is willing to offer the Hummingbird if the Young Lord agrees..." Kassandra was also interrupted before finishing her words.
"You can stop there.
From the direction of the conversation, John already knew what the two leaders were trying to achieve, he didn't want to be involved in the plot of two regional leaders.
"Where's the golden hummingbird?" John asked with uncertain interest.
Barbara looked at Kassandra , everyone's eyes, Isa, John and Felicia who was impassive stared at Kassandra , being looked at like that by a superior being, Kassandra 's body trembled, she clapped her hands and someone entered the tent with a cage covered with a green cloth.
With a movement of Felicia's hands, the cage that was being held by the hands of a woman from the water clan, flew straight into Felicia's hands, she removed the green cloth revealing a golden bird the size of a baby's fist, the golden hummingbird, it looked like a bird that John already knew, if the Golden Hummingbird was not all golden and did not have spatial properties John would even think it was a hummingbird a very well known bird on earth.
The two leaders saw the cage in Felicia's hands with some hidden desire in their eyes, but neither of the leaders dared to do or say anything, they simply looked at what was worth fighting for being ripped from their hands.
"I'll take this, since you can't protect it, anyway you wouldn't be able to cross a territory with such a treasure in your hands" Felicia said with a sparkle in her eyes, after a while she continued saying. "If you want any compensation, talk to him." She said pointing her finger at John.
John didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had nothing in his possession that could replace a treasure that had driven two regions to war, the two leaders looked at John with hopeful eyes.

City of Ngola , chapter of the Ngola kingdom .
The capital of the kingdom was not only the most beautiful city and opponent of the entire kingdom, the most influential people, renowned nobles and powerful families, of course there was a special district for the lords of the territory, as expected the Venhorst family also has a luxurious mansion, in the capital only the three great families and the royal family were allowed to build a castle.
Venhorst Mansion.
On the porch of the mansion, an old man who appeared to be seventy years old was sitting in a chair with a backrest reading a book. If John were there, he would hug this old man and call him grandmother. This old man looked seventy percent like Fernando.
A man came walking up to the old man and said, "Hello, Dad." The old man didn't take his eyes off the book. He said as he read, "Oh, Fernando, are you here? How was the meeting?"
Fernando took the seat for himself and sighed, he said with a regretful voice "Our enemies, the Blood Moon Kingdom, launched an attack on the northwest of the kingdom and because of that the entry into the institutions was anticipated.
Old Francis, Fernando's father, didn't seem surprised to hear this news; it seemed he had already expected it. He put down his book and said, "How long do we have until admission to the institute?"
The royal decree declared that in six months the Kassange Institute and the Institute of the Promised Land will receive new students at the same time," Fernando said. "Which institute do you intend to send Junior to? In my opinion, it would be better if he went to the Kassange Institute ," Francis said. "I think so too," Fernando said, sighing and continuing, "But he will go to the Promised Land.
"Why in the promised land if Kassange is the best choice?" Francis asked.
"Five of the teachers belong to the Evans family, even the principal has an intrinsic connection with the Evans family," Fernando said.
"So my beautiful daughter-in-law's hope of having her children reunited and caring for each other will have to wait a little longer," Francis said with a bitter smile.
"I will visit Albert tomorrow, to perform Junior's ritual as soon as possible," Fernando said.
"Son , are you sure involving Albert is a good idea?" Francis asked.
Fernando nodded.
