Chapter 492: Bringing the Boy to Varadis

Right as I put the boy to sleep, the others finally arrive. Seems like they meet each other on the way here.

And as expected, they were shocked to see the armless boy, and me who lost an arm. Good thing the three arms have now been frozen by Shirley.

As for my wound, I used Blobby to wrap tightly around it. It’s very painful, but I can endure it. at least for a few more minutes.

“Kayla, heal the boy first! And then, we will go to Varadis to reattach his arms and my arm. The boy will be a good material for research,” I said.

“Ah! Okay!” Kayla said.

It might be a bit difficult to reattach the boy’s right arm since he has healed it on his own. And that might cause his left which hasn’t been healed to be longer than his right after I reattach them. But that doesn’t matter as long as the boy is alive.

As for me, although I can sew back my left arm on my own, doing it in Varadis might be better since they have experts over there. Maybe I’ll call Sophie to help.

.....

“Sonia, tell Sophie that I will get her to reattach my arm,” I said.

“What about the surgeon in Varadis? You’re not going to ask them to reattach your arm?” Kayla asked me.

“They will be busy with the boy. And I feel better if Sophie is the one to do it. As for you, I will need your healing after the surgery. I will be conscious during the whole operation as well so I can instruct you and Sophie. As for the others, if you want to hear how powerful the boy is, you can ask Shirley. She watched us fight the whole time. I’ll be back later to finish the request I took to the guild and to report everything I heard in the underground meeting room to Lynn and Claudia,” I said.

“There’s an underground meeting room? Hmm... it’s true! There’s a big room underneath us!” Angela said. Since she is an expert level in her four elements, she can sense the ground under her.

“That’s right. You, Sara, and Celestine can go check on the underground meeting room. It’s connected to the sewer underneath the capital. Since you three have good sense of your earth element, it’s best if you three can check it out first. There are no dangerous monsters, so it’s fine. But it smells bad. That’s why Sara’s air magic is important. Well, I’ll be going now. Kayla, let’s go!”

I opened a portal to Victoria’s location in Varadis. Seems like we forgot to tell everyone here that we’re coming as they didn’t expect it at all.

“Oh, Roy! You come to visit? Wait, what happened!? How did you lose your arm!? And why is that kid has no arms!?” Victoria who greeted me while discussing something with Marie and some other people in Varadis, including the king, old man Henry, were shocked to see me like this.

I entered the portal with the boy on my back, and my own frozen arm in my intact right arm. As for the boy’s arms, Kayla is carrying them.

“I met the artificial master level mage, this mohawk kid. The only way I can defeat him without killing him is this way. He might be good for researching something for you guys. Now, while Sophie, Kayla, and I will perform surgery on me to reattach my arm, the surgeons from Varadis will operate on the boy... later. I think it’s best to keep him armless for now. Well, the surgeons can watch my operation. As for the boy, Kayla will heal his left arm. This way, the boy’s arm length will be the same. Hopefully. Though they will be shorter than before, at least he’s still in his growth period. If he can still grow. For now, myself comes first,” I said.

With that, everyone readied themselves for my operation. Victoria will help becoming our medical tools as well. And Marie will watch us out of curiosity.

The surgery was done well. It took less than one hour. Which is good enough.

Sophie, Kayla, and the others are doing exactly as I instructed. I know that the doctors here have learned on how to reattach separated limbs from my medical knowledge, but I don’t know how many people they have operate. Maybe zero. That’s why I instruct them to do it.

After my surgery is done, Kayla healed me again completely. I tested my strength in my left arm, and it’s as good as it was before. Surgery was done perfectly.

“Now, about the boy. The reason I cut off his arms is because his body is strong enough to rip the collar apart. If he wakes up, his kicking strength should be powerful enough to kill anyone in one kick. But it’s difficult for him to remove the collar this way. I think binding his leg with magic from expert level mage should be good enough to stop him. Kayla, use your earth magic to bind his legs,” I said to Kayla.

“There’s no soil here. I might end up destroying this building,” Kayla said.

“Oh, right. Here’s your soil,” I said as I opened a portal to the outside.

Kayla, collected the soil with her wand and use them to bind the boy’s legs. This way, the boy won’t be able to escape. Even if he’s strong, he’s not strong enough to remove the bind of an expert level mage with force.

“I think it’s okay to reattach his arms now as long as you bind his arms as well,” I said.

And so, with my instruction, only the surgeons from Varadis performed the surgery to reattach the boy’s limbs. By the way, old man Henry is one of the surgeons. He’s in fact one of the best doctors in this country. Is that the requirement to be the king? I don’t think that’s all.

The boy’s surgery was done well as well. We just need to see if he can move them. though that would be scary, so at least we will do it later.

“Now, what to do with the boy?” I asked.

“I have some ideas. But for now, inhuman as it is, I will try as many things as possible to at least make sure the brainwashed artificial master level mages to not be able to fight us,” Marie said.

“Yes. I also have some ideas as well. Good thing you brought the kid. There’s something different I want to try on them that won’t be effective to adult. Roy, aren’t you busy? You should go back soon,” Victoria said.

“You’re right. Sophie, Kayla, what will you do?” I asked the two.

“We’ll return with you,” Sophie replied, and Kayla nodded.

“Okay. If the boy proves to be too strong and can somehow escape Kayla’s binding, contact me right away. See you later,” I said as I used portal to go back to near the capital of Consenza.

As for Sophie, I returned her to where she was before. Back at the inn taking care of the children. Since Lina was there as well, I can take Sophie with me.

“I’ll go back to the sewer and return back to the capital through there. What about you?” I asked Kayla.

“I’ll go meet up with Jewel. We took a request together,” Kayla said.

“Okay. See you later,” I Said as I leave.

I entered the underground meeting room again through the door I entered before, and traced back to the capital. Since I entered with permission from the guards who watched the sewer, it will be suspicious if I come out and return to the capital from somewhere else.

I returned to the capital and greeted the guards before going to the hunter guild.

“Here’s the subjugation proofs. Rat’s tails. There are more than thirty. There really is no one else taking the quest, huh?” I said to the receptionist.

“Not only the sewer rats are weak. The sewer is smelly as well. That’s why no one wants to go there. But why are you not smelly?” the receptionist asked.

“I’m an air mage. The bad smell is from the air in the sewer. Since I can protect myself with Air Barrier, I won’t get the bad smell. Unless I swam in the sewer, which I did not do,” I said jokingly.

“I see. Air mages can do that, huh? I heard that there’s an awesome air mage from Tatrama who will participate in the tournament. I think from now on, the people will know how important air mages are,” the receptionist said.

She’s good. She’s smart enough to realize that. In the future, I think she could be a good guild leader.

“Though in the end, I still came from the sewer. I need to take a bath first. Can I get the reward now?” I asked.

“Oh, right. Here’s your reward. There are some bonuses because you subjugated more than the what’s needed. Thank you for completing the job.”

After that, I find an inn with a bath. I don’t want to sleep while being wrapped by tentacles anymore.

After taking a bath, I reported what I found to Lynn and Claudia. Celestine and Sara were there too as they have finished exploring the sewer.

With the map I gave her previously, Lynn will order the guards to increase the security in the sewer. I think there won’t be anymore sewer rats request on the guild for a while.
