The next morning, as soon as Sky and the others got enough rest, they continue their journey. In case if anyone had forgotten where were them heading to, they are heading to a small village far away where a pair of Enomoto siblings are living at. This time, there is no big ostacle and they reached the said village in about seven hours. However, the destination they reached is a bit different from what the tournament's head organiser described, instead of a small village, it's more like a small town.
"I guess things do change a lot after all these years." said Sky with a shrug. "Reasonable, but I would rather hope that we got the wrong place." said Chris, with a frown. "Ah... True. With such a drastic changes, it will be even harder to find those siblings, furthermore, we can't even guarantee if they still live in this place or not. But anyway, let's just try asking the town people if they know anything about the Enomoto siblings or not." said Sky. Chris nodded, agreeing with Sky's suggestion.
And so, except for Hoshe who is looking after the aircraft, all of them started finding information on the Enomoto siblings from the town people. And with doubt, things don't go very well, none of the town people know about the siblings. "Ah... Seriously, I really wished that Lex is here with us. His land memory magic would be quite helpful." said Sky after countless of attempts with no results. "Stop complaining, it's not going to help with our progress here." said Chris, dissing Sky as he gets irritated by the fruitless attempts as well.
"Are you looking for those two weirdos? They live at the other side of that tallest mountain over there. On the mountain side." said a man to Seito. "Weirdos?" Seito asked, rather confused. "Yeah, they are very weird and very seldom come to the town. In case you are trying to pay them a visit, I advise you to give up on that thought." said the man. The conversation of Seito and the man successfully drawn Sky and others attention.
"Why?" Seito continue to ask."Well, let's just say that they don't like visitors. That's all the information I can give you. Farewell." said the man before walked away as Sky and the others approaches them.
"Ah... I hope my ears just tricked me, but did he just said that the Enomoto siblings lived at the other side of that tallest mountain? On the mountain side?" Sky asked, refused to accept what he just heard. "Well, I heard that too, so it has nothing to do with your ears." said Chris. "I guess I will just summon Seiryu again. I am not going to climb all the way up of that mountain. "Me neither, but I believe with such a height and stiffness, even with the help of Seiryu, we can't avoid some climbing." said Chris, doesn't sound very enthusiastic about the mountain climbing.
"Ah... Haha... I guess it's not bad to have some extra physical training once in a while... Haha... Ha..." said Sky with a bitter laughter...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so, with no further delay, Sky summoned Seiryu again. With the help from the blue dragon, they reached the other side of the tallest mountain in less than ten minutes. After a brief observation, there is indeed an average sized door on a rather steep area of the mountainside, just as Chris predicted, there is totally no landing point for Seiryu, not only for Seiryu, there is totally no spot for them to stand at all, it's basically just like a door that randomly placed on a tall wall for some art exhibition. The nearest standing point is a two meters wide stone platform located at ten metres above the door.
"Ah... I definitely don't want to climb down vertically for a whole ten metres. Can't we just use float or fly magic to get over there?" said Seito, who actually seldom rants. "Well, I doubt about it. Usually it's not a hard task for Seiryu to get nearer to the targeted spot for easier drop off, but this time,he chose not to getting too near to that door. I guess there is indeed something unusual with those two siblings." said Sky. "I agree with Sky." said Chris as he took out a small crystal bird that started to flutter its wings as Chris activated it with his own magic force. Then, Chris released the bird, letting it fly directly towards the door, however, before it even flies out a meter away from Seiryu, it stopped moving and crushed heavily onto the ground that is hundred metres away from their spot.
"There we have it, a powerful magic block and repulsive barrier." said Chris with a shrug.
"Seito, I guess you can't escape this extra training after all." said Sky, in a teasing tone.
"Let's fly up to that platform I guess." said Chris, ignoring the childish behaviour of Sky.
With that command from Chris, Seiryu started flying up towards the platform ten metres above them. However, just before Seiryu could drop everyone off to the platform, he spotted two people on the platform, a man and a lady, they seem to be waiting for their arrival.
Alerted by that sight, Seiryu is about to retreat, but he felt a gentle and firm tap from Chris that reassuring him to continue with his original route. And so, Seiryu stopped in mid air, about a meter about the platform since he is too huge to land on it, and let everyone dropped off on that platform before turning back into a silver chain accessories hanged on Sky's pocket...
