Lito heard Luna's request about the artifact made by Truth and himself being damaged and wanted to ask Lito for advice. After knowing the situation, Lito wanted to see the condition of the damaged artifact to find out the cause. Then Luna led Lito to Truth's laboratory.
When they arrived, Luna opened the door to the truth lab and let Lito enter first then herself. Lito greeted Truth and checked her condition. Truth saw Lito and immediately bowed to Lito.
"There's no need to bow like that Truth, I'm just here as a friend." Lito said softly with a smile.
"But you are a king so I have to submit," Truth said firmly, very stubbornly.
"No need to go that far, I don't like being seen as a highly respected ruler." Lito denied humbly.
"You are the king and I am just a follower so it is only natural for a servant to respect his master." Truth explained with a straight face.
"Never mind, what's more important now is that you're not hurt, right?" Lito asked worriedly while holding Truth's hand.
Truth was surprised when Lito held her hand gently and her cheeks turned red. Luna saw it too with surprise and a jealous look at Truth which was so sharp to her. Lito checked Truth's body to see if there were any injuries or not and he didn't find any injuries.
"Good thing there are no injuries at all," Lito said happily.
"Thank you so much for worrying about me, Lito," Truth replied shyly.
"You're welcome, we're colleagues so we help each other," Lito replied with a smile.
"Okay, enough small talk, we gathered for the broken artifact, right, so we better finish it now." Luna said, slightly annoyed with her arms folded under her chest.
"Ah... Sorry Luna, then where is the artifact?" Lito asked, looking a little scared.
Luna and Truth direct Lito to the artifact they made that is already broken on Truth's work desk. The artifact looks badly damaged and almost shapeless. Lito holds the artifact and looks at it.
"Hmm... an electrical artifact, huh? This can't really be made to produce great energy for every town." Lito explained while analyzing the damaged artifact.
"Then, what do we do now? I think this artifact could be the main force to light up the entire city." Truth asked with a confused expression .
"If it's about this, there should be an alternative way to become a substitute source for distributing electricity," Lito suggested.
"Alternative way?" Luna asked with a confused expression.
"There are various sources of energy that are greater than the artifacts that we have encountered and have also made," Lito explained.
"For example?" Truth asked.
"source of magic elements, guess what magic elements are there?" Lito asked Luna and Truth.
"Magic elements consist of 6, namely Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, and Dark." Luna answered.
"And each element has its own advantages and disadvantages," Truth continued from Luna's explanation.
"You're right, but they have similarities between the six elements." Lito replied with a smile.
"Similarities?" asked Luna.
Lito nodded and began to say, "Their powers are balanced with each other, because the six of them have no limits at all."
They were both shocked and began to understand what Lito meant by using the unlimited natural energy as a source of energy to produce strong power to light up a royal city. They felt enlightened by Lito's words which made them more devoted to Lito as his Guardian. Even though they had been told about it, they were still confused about how to utilize this unlimited energy source.
"But how do we harness this energy source?" Truth asked.
"It's simple, first we look for a location to install the energy box machine, second we connect it to an unlimited energy source, and finally install magic cables throughout the kingdom." Lito explained.
"Hmm... But we have to know first what energy source we will use?" Luna asked with her index finger and thumb to her chin.
"If it's about that, we already have a source close to this kingdom, maybe I have a map of Eden, Truth?" Lito replied.
Truth then gave a map of the vast kingdom of Eden. Lito pointed to 2 points on the map, namely rivers and mountains. Lito then explained to Luna and Truth that we will use water and wind power as Eden's unlimited energy sources.
"Why did you choose these two places, Lito?" asked Luna.
"First, from these 2 points, it is a place that is very close to the kingdom, second because the source is right because thanks to Yune's expedition a week ago." Lito explained.
"Did Yune find anything during her expedition?" Luna asked with a serious expression.
"Her said during the expedition, she found several footprints and animal carcasses from large predator attacks, but Yune took measures to anticipate if an apex predator was roaming around, namely by putting up walls and guard posts there." Lito explained to Luna.
"Apex predator! Near the royal city area?! What don't tell me." Luna was surprised with a worried expression
"Yes, there was a change in the monsters' habits that caused the monsters to move to areas that were not their territory, this is called Crossing Path." explaine Lito.
Luna and Truth could only remain silent after hearing Lito's explanation just now. After that they agreed with Lito's plan, then the three of them cleaned up Truth's laboratory room and Lito called a carpenter to fix the laboratory furniture. When night approached, Lito returns to her bedroom and removed the artifacts necklace, ring and bracelet. Lito then lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling of his room.
"Alternative Energy... I feel like I'm just talking nonsense to both of them." Lito said with a sigh.
"But I hope there will be a miracle for tomorrow's plan." Lito continued and started to close his eyes to sleep.
The next day Lito, Luna, and Truth are wearing their normal clothes and their respective artifacts to be ready to walk to the place marked on the map. But when passing through the market area there was a commotion which is very chaotic. Lito, Luna and Truth approached the commotion and saw three thugs from the Orc race attacking the merchant husband and wife of the wood elf race and the water spirit. Lito tried to approach them and tried to ask what happened.
"Excuse me, what happened?" Lito asked.
"Huh? What do you want punk?" asked one of the Orc thugs back.
"I just want to know what this commotion is all about," Lito replied with cold sweat.
"Huh? You're just a lowly human who wants to know other people's business, get out of here!" The orc thug said firmly.
"Um but..." Lito's words were cut off because he was pushed by one of the orc thugs and fell.
Luna and Truth started to get furious while clenching their fists after seeing the Orc thugs hurt Lito but Lito raised his hand to stop them both and stood up again. "Wow you guys are strong but your strength should be used for good things, not to hurt other city residents." Lito sarcastically told the Orc thugs.
"How dare you little and weak human! "Take this!" shouted the Orc thug wanting to punch Lito.
Lito saw that and closed his eyes to get ready to receive the punch to his face. But suddenly there was a hot aura and quickly caught the Orc thug's face and slammed his head to the ground until the road cracked. Lito then opened his eyes and saw a woman with short fire hair, orange eyes, wearing red armor and then emitting a small fire from her mouth, she was one of Eden's Guardians named Nia, the fire spirit with the nickname Eden's punisher.
"Anyone who tries to hurt my savior and my sun, you will be punished until you turn to ashes!" Nia shouted in great anger.
