Chapter 554

Chapter 554: The Children Have Grown

I slept the whole day after that. And when I woke up, it’s already noon.

I look outside to see that everything changed. That’s when I realized that I’m not in Consenza anymore. I’m back home in Cassau. And no one here knows that there was a war happening in Consenza. Though I can see a huge screen in the square. It must have shown the final match between Angela and Shirley. And I can see so many people are talking. Most likely about the final.

Though after the final is over, the broadcast was stopped because there’s a war. That’s why no one here talked about it.

My body is stiff after sleeping. I guess I overexert my body too much. I have fought the enemies for days, with only little rest. Although I had a good rest sleeping on Victoria who turned herself as a bed, I couldn’t fully recover since it’s still in the middle of the battle.

But now, because I know the battle is over, I slept well. Though I still feel a little tired. Maybe I’ll get another rest before I start my journey in finding magical weapons.

But before that, I still have many things to do.

I need to travel all over the place to transport multiple people. From Jewel and the others who were still outside, unless they have returned back to the capital since she said she will move this morning, and transport Albert and old man Henry to their home. But I guess that’s for later.

.....

There’s a new king in Arturo. King Fabio. And I will probably get him to Consenza along with Harold and some others so they can greet the other kings.

This battle is over, but the cult still exist. And I need to be a taxi. At least that’s what Victoria calls me when I transport people to another location.

I will be busy, though I don’t think I will be as busy as before since I don’t have to fight for a while. It’s just me transporting people.

Well, now that I’m awake, I’ll ask Sonia where should I go first.

After I called her, it took a few seconds until she appears in front of me. I guess she’s busy.

“What is it?” Sonia asked.

“I’m up now. Ask the others what should I do. Also, where is Jewel and the others at the moment?” I asked.

“They will soon reach the capital of Consenza. I don’t think you will need to transport them with your portal anymore. I’ll ask Albert what your job will be. Though since you will just be transporting people, it should be fine for you to do it later. If that’s all, I will be leaving. I’ll return back to give you a job from Albert or the others,” Sonia said.

She has been extremely busy flying and teleporting all over the place. She’s the busiest ghost in the world.

When I ask if it was tiring for her to go all over the place, she said that she wasn’t tired at all. After all, she has been stuck in this house in Cassau for over a thousand years. And only when she met me that she can move to another place. Well, just the place where the soil from this land is spread.

And after she trained in Monsters World, she gained ability to move further than where we put the soil from this land is. And she could even grab and lift small object.

And now, with a few grains of sand that she carries every day, she can go anywhere she wants. Though she’s still willing to busy herself up with a job as a messenger.

And five minutes later, Sonia returns.

“...I thought you just said that it’s fine to do it later. How come you return so soon?” I asked.

“It’s best if we hurry it up. That’s what Toni said.”

Toni, huh? The one who helped Harold and Fabio to retrieve their kingdom back from the cult from behind the scene. With how much of a genius he is, I guess it’s natural for not only Sonia, but other kings to follow his instructions.

He’s a very capable man. That’s what I heard from the others at least since I’m not directly involved in their fight to regain their kingdom. But if all the kings said that, that means he’s just that capable.

The only reason I didn’t hear his name in my past life must be because Arturo Kingdom has fallen so much at that time. It was great that we could have someone as capable as him on our side this time.

“Where should I go first?” I asked Sonia.

“You should go to Arturo first to get Fabio and the others. And then, bring them to Consenza. The kings will have a meeting on what to do next,” Sonia said.

“In Consenza? What about that city in the center of the continent? Wasn’t that place used to be where they have a meeting?” I asked.

“After Harold and the others took over that city from the cult, the right of that territory belong to Arturo. That place couldn’t be called neutral anymore. That’s why now that other than those from Arturo, the rest of the kings are in Consenza. It’s best to gather there,” Sonia replied.

“Tell them to get ready. I’ll go get Victoria. She’s playing with the children right now,” I said as I rose from the Blobbybed.

Victoria is playing with Daniel and the others along with Sophie. Lina is with them as well. So, I left my room to greet them.

“Roy! You’re up!”

The one who said that was Daniel. I think he has grown a lot ever since I picked him up. And for some reason, he has a book about strategy in his hand. Where did he get that book from?

“Daniel got that book from Albert. He said that he wants to be a smart man like Toni and help a lot of people,” Sophie said.

“Wait, so am I the only one who doesn’t know Toni’s achievements at all?”

“Seems that way. Even Daniel was informed,” Victoria said.

Well, at least that mean Daniel prefer to fight behind the scene than fighting the enemies directly. I should be glad for his decision.

“By the way, you should hear about Hannah’s achievement. She has now reached advanced level and she even defeated an expert level mage who was blending in with the civilians in the evacuation center!” Victoria said proudly.

Sigh... it’s too late for one of the children. Wait, let’s make it two.

Seems like it’s impossible to destroy the cult so fast that the children won’t have any chance to be involved in our war. Not only Hannah has reached advanced level and killed an enemy, even the very young Lana almost killed multiple enemies.

It’s just impossible to destroy the enemies too soon. And Hannah herself seems to be very proud. She’s with her mother, Penny, right now. Talking about something.

What about Penny? What does she feels when she sees her daughter killing an enemy? Scared? Or proud?

At least right now, she seems happy chatting with her daughter.

Destroying the cult so the children can grow up in a peaceful world is something that I wish could happen. But it has been a few years since I returned back in time, and even though we have killed so many cult members, there’s no sign of the Evil God at all.

Maybe it’s just me thinking too much. The children would all grow up in the future and can make a decision by themselves. Even Daniel has decided to be smarter. Whether they would fight the cult or not is their own choice. And I can only support their decisions.

Hmm... but I’m still afraid to have children of my own. Maybe I’ll wait a little longer for that.

After talking for a bit, I opened a portal to Arturo. This time, there’s no need to wear Victoriarmor at all. I greeted Fabio, Toni, Harold, Luna, and some other people who were right in front of the portal. They were all prepared to go. Though one person seem to be missing.

“Where’s Kron?” I asked.

“Well... during the cleanup of the cult members in the cult, we discovered a new dungeon. And now that the cleanup is over, Kron happily entered the dungeon by himself trying to conquer it. He said that we don’t really need him anymore now that the battle is over. And he will return to Cassau once he’s done with doing what he wants,” Fabio replied.

...That guy is too free. While I’m here thinking of the future, that guy just do whatever he wants.

Maybe I should learn something from him and be a little more relaxed.

“Is mom there already?” Luna asked me.

“I don’t know. They seem to be returning from the battlefield this morning, so she should be there anytime soon,” I replied.

“Wait, you mean you left my wife on the battlefield as you return home on your own? Is that how you treat a queen?” Harold complained.

“Shut up! I’m tired, okay? And now, I will opening portals all over the continent. I should have received some payment from transporting you guys. Let’s just leave already!”

I opened a portal from Arturo, to Albert’s location in Consenza. The kings then will be busy with a meeting and the aftermath of the war. While I return the soldiers back to their country.

Next is the Evil God, Archbishop, and the master level mages. What a pain...
