Chapter 761 New Volcano Eruption
With the help of Angus' Fire Binding, the other guards secure the high-grade spy. They also contact the nearby extermination squad base nearby according to the procedure.
The rise of Miasma Antidote sales attracted many significant forces in the world. These forces interest in the Miasma Antidote secret ingredient. However, it is not easy to crack or find the main ingredient from the antidote.
Unless they have Godly ancient power like [Analyze] and vast amounts of herbology knowledge, no one could find the Miasma Antidote secret. Otherwise, this potion will be found and created a long time ago.
The Firuman world may have a middle-aged state in terms of civilization growth. However, their technology development is not backward, especially in research. Some nations are even more advanced than Angus' previous postmodern Earth in this field.
If one has a great mind and enough resources, anyone could create an excellent research facility comparable to a futuristic laboratory from Angus' past life. Yet, none of them find or make Miasma Antidote after all these years.
This shows how hard it is to crack or find suitable ingredients with the proper handling methods. Even for Angus, he will never be able to make it if he didn't have Archmage Bern's unfinished formula.
As a result, Elephant grass, the main ingredient, is a very important secret. As long as no one knows the secret of the primary ingredient information, the Heart Kingdom can monopolize the Miasma Antidote.
When Angus revealed this secret ingredient to King Leon, they immediately thought of many ways to conceal it while still having enough supply.
One of their methods is ordering all the high nobles to build a farm facility while planting various medicinal herb plants. King Leon is also not stingy in funding all these farm facilities. This method will confuse all the spies and researchers from other forces and nations.
Still, it didn't stop the spies from checking each of these farm facilities. Hence, some extermination squad standby near the facilities as many spies lurk around. Any suspicious character will even be dragged and interrogated by them.
These actions seem ruthless. However, King Leon is not called a cold-blooded king for nothing. When everyone heard it was the order of His Majesty, no one dared to comment on it.
While the guards nearby apprehend the spies, Angus fixes the management and working procedure. He didn't want any more spies lurking around, at least not in his farm facility.
At this moment, they suddenly feel a tremble in the entire area. Without hesitation, Angus immediately uses [Great Mana Echolocation] and is surprised at what he finds.
He could perceive many ferocious animals and low-grade beasts running toward their location. However, the earthquake is not coming from these animal hordes. It is coming from the sudden appearance of a volcano near them.
*BOOOM* At this moment, everyone could hear a loud explosion and black cloudy smoke from far away. Through his long perception, Angus could notice the sudden emergence of a volcano that erupted and shot dozens of flaming rocks.
Magically, he finds all these flaming rocks only hit in the animal horde's direction. *Growl* *Growl* A series of dying and burning animals could be heard up to Angus' location.
"What just happened?" asked all the guards worriedly.
Among the series of animal cries, a loud deep voice could be heard.
"Groowlll.... Gemini!!"
At this moment, the twin Gemini is sitting on the nearby tree branch leisurely.
"Ooppp... It missed." said Gemin.
"Shoot again." said Gemis from the side.
*BOOOM* *BOOOM* As if hearing their wish, the newly emerged volcano shot a few more flaming boulders and hit the animal horde again.
Then, all the animals fall down from inside the cracked ground as it is trying to swallow them alive. During this time, two twin girls look at the disaster with creepy smiles.
"It's done!!" said Gemin.
"And buried!!" said Gemis.
After saying these short words, the two girls stay silent while looking at the burning and cracked ground.
"Are you two okay?" A voice was heard from behind them.
"Ahh... Stone face!!" exclaimed the twin Gemini while jumping into King Leon's shoulder.
When Gemini sneaks away with Angus, he also already notices them. In fact, he decides to bring them back silently before they cause a bigger mess. However, he didn't expect to find such an incident.
King Leon didn't refuse the twin Gemini's close interaction and solemnly looked at the disaster before him.
"That's another star spirit, right?" asked King Leon.
"Yup. It is Sisi." said Gemis.
"Isn't it Gigi?" retorted Gemin from the side.
Before the twin Gemini could argue again as usual, "Is it alright? They seem to be trying to contact you and I think this is not the first time you've done this." asked King Leon with a worried tone.
"It's boring to go back. We have so much fun here." said Gemin.
"Yup, Super bored. Here we could play with a lot of people." said Gemis.
Despite hearing this, King Leon somehow could feel the twin girls' unrest.
"*Sigh* Then, how about we play together?" asked King Leon.
"Really?!" exclaimed Gemis excitedly.
"Can we play together?" asked Gemin excitedly.
"Sure. So, what did you want to play?" asked King Leon.
"Tagging game!! You are it!!" replied the twin Gemini together before tapping King Leon and jumping from his shoulder.
Seeing this, King Leon immediately pursues them. Same as before, the twin Gemini manipulates the surroundings to obstruct King Leon while running around.
While King Leon and the twin Gemini are 'busy' playing tag, Angus and the other guards arrive at the location to investigate this strange phenomenon.
"Weird... There is not a trace of mana used in this place. Also, this ground crack and the volcano seems naturally formed." said Angus while inspecting the area.
As the distance is close to the city, Angus decides to handle this matter carefully. He didn't want a hidden danger near his hometown and his family.
"Anna, how is it?" asked Angus towards Anna, who was playing with a burning stick nearby.
"Ehh?? How is what?" asked Anna back.
"What did you think about this sudden volcano eruption?" asked Angus.
"Emm... It is just grass getting roasted. Why should Anna care about disgusting grass? Hmph!! Anna doesn't understand why Daddy should care about grass?" complained Anna.
Hearing this, Angus decides to stop asking Anna. He knows he couldn't rely on her superb insight and instinct to find a clue.
Just as he wanted to inspect the new volcano, "Hmm... Where is Gemini? Did Gemini play without Anna again?" grumbled Anna.
Hearing this, Angus immediately stopped and finally understood that these sudden disasters happened because of Gemini. Despite Gemini's prank and many mischievous acts, they could truly manipulate things without leaving any trace of mana.
Therefore, it is unsurprising for them to suddenly create a new volcano like it is naturally formed. However, Angus also couldn't just locate this twin mischievous star spirit.
Unless Gemini decides to reveal themself, Angus will never be able to perceive them even if they are beside him. He will never expect Unless Gemini decides to reveal themself, Angus will never be able to perceive them even if they are beside him. He will never expect the twin star spirit and King Leon is playing tag hidden under everyone's eyes.
After concluding it is the work of twin Gemini, Angus and the others decide to return to the Victory Mansion. Now, he begins to worry about his visit to Roundel City.
Just by visiting his home, he is already experiencing many things in less than a day. He couldn't imagine what kind of problem and mess he would face if he visited Roundel City.
Meanwhile, King Leon and the twin Gemini finally stopped playing after King Leon pursued them for who knows how long. Unlike before, King Leon is not the only one covered in dirt and mess. The twin Gemini is also covered in mud while hugging King Leon on the ground.
"*Giggle* Stone Face cheating!!" said Gemis.
"Yup, Cheating!!" exclaimed Gemin from the side.
King Leon said nothing but hugging the twin girl with a dirty body and covering the twin girls more in the dirt. During the game, King Leon couldn't catch the twin Gemini for the whole game. However, he still could take revenge on them when they approached him.
To his surprise, the twin Gemini didn't dodge his messy hand and let him cover them with dirt. Through this gesture, he knows his bond with Gemini is stronger. He knows he could never control Gemini. As a king, King Leon also couldn't always stay with them.
This is also why he lets them mess around his office, even his paperwork. However, he is also reluctant to let them go back. As the legend said, when the twin Gemini was near him, Fortune kept coming to him and the Heart Kingdom.
For the prosperity of his beloved kingdom, he didn't mind the twin Gemini's mischievous act. Still, it didn't mean he didn't feel guilty about these twin star spirits.
"Thank you. I promise this kingdom will always be your warm home." said King Leon while stroking the twin small girls gently.
If someone sees this scene, everyone will be surprised as the cold-hearted King Leon has this kind of side, like an excellent fatherly figure.
"Home, " said the twin Gemini, burying their face into King Leon's arm.
