Chapter 609: What To Do Next

“So, does anyone knows what happened with the cult? Is there any place that have been attacked or is still under suspicions? Any new reports?”

“Not yet. But there are still many places we are currently investigating.”

“Same with Consenza. The cult hasn’t make any movement so far.”

“Varadis is also still at peace at the moment. Though I have finally prepared three candidates who will succeed my throne.”

“Three? Well, at least that’s better than nothing. I hope you can find a good successor for the future of Varadis Kingdom.”

At the moment, the four kings are having a meeting and talk about anything suspicious around them. But there are none and the world is seem to be at peace at the moment.

But we know that it’s just momentary peace because the cult is still exist. Until we can destroy everything related to the cult, peace will never come.

.....

All the kingdoms in this continent has been attacked by the cult. Though in this discussion, I was a bit confused since these four are talking about other kingdoms that actually exist in this continent other than Tatrama, Consenza, Varadis, and Arturo.

They are smaller kingdom in comparison to any of the big four. I’m curious why none of these four kings wanted to conquer any of those small kingdoms. But I guess that’s fine. They know politics more than I do. If they think that it’s better for those smaller kingdoms to be independent, there must be some difficult things that they are considering.

If I ask, they will probably answer it honestly. But I will end up getting too tired from listening to politics. If only it was something about getting stronger, making allies, foods, or anything related to medical knowledge, I won’t get bored.

Still, it was very annoying to have a meeting. Or more like it was annoying how I have no choice but to participate in a meeting. I have to stay here listening to everyone’s report and not doing anything.

They won’t serve a meal during meeting, and won’t let me do some training while waiting because they can distract the kings from the meeting. At least until it’s over.

And it was weird seeing how they were shouting Spot or Ray’s name last night to watch who will be the winner. Then they suddenly changed into serious mood for today’s meeting.

Of course they are supporting the one they placed their bet on. And the result was Albert and Lynn’s happiness because Ray won, and Fabio and old man Henry’s depression because they bet quite a lot of money on Spot. At least those money come from their own pocket and not the money for the kingdom.

And after their momentary happiness or sadness, they return quickly to serious mood as they talk about everything they find out about the cult. Though we didn’t find anything at all, they are still serious talking about it.

“Roy, what do you think? Where do you think the cult will attack next?” Albert asked me.

“Well, somewhere we expected the least. It could even happen in the capital. And next time, they should be really send their strongest members. Maybe even some master level mages if they have some to spare. I don’t know how much they know about the existence of an Aura user. But they must have prepared a lot to fight against me in some way,” I said.

“Yeah. It will be bad if the enemy prepares their strongest members to fight you alone,” Lynn said.

“No. It could be our advantage as well. If the cult is preparing their most to fight against me, you can just take care of everything else. They will be much weaker in other areas since they will be focused on me. Even if they bring several master level mages at once, I can handle them on my own. And even if I can’t, I can just summon Shelia, Graham, or Ray, or even ask Angela, Kayla, or the others in my clan to help me. You just need to focus on your own troop,” I suggested.

“I see! While you’re fighting the main force of the cult, we can clear the rest. That’s a good plan!” Lynn said excitedly. But the others are still acting normal and just smile seeing her reaction. It means that among the four kings, only Lynn doesn’t think of that plan.

Though I was rather surprised that Fabio expected it. I guess that’s to be expected when he has someone amazing as his assistant. Or rather, I hope his assistant, Toni, won’t overwork himself.

When I asked Fabio about that, he replied by saying that Toni had a lot of vacation actually. After Arturo has been recovered by Fabio and Harold, and they have taken care of the most important matter in their kingdom, Toni took a long vacation while I was training with the ancient Aura users. And he just finished his vacation recently, returning with a lot of ideas. And one of his ideas is actually what I proposed. Making the enemy main force focus on me while the others will fight the rest.

Well, I think it’s fine if it’s Lynn. Because she has Claudia with her. Although compared to Toni her achievement is not that big, she is smart and still a big help for Consenza.

“The only thing we can do now is just wait and see it seems. We have no choice but to keep on being defensive because we don’t know when and where the cult will attack,” old man Henry said.

“About that. I’m thinking of traveling around the continent and see if I can find something. And while I’m traveling, I will once in a while show myself wearing full armor to solve simple cases like bandits or monsters subjugation without taking quests from the guild. If the rumor about a living armor saving people is spread all over the place, the cult will make a move if they know about Aura user. They will think that the living armor is an Aura user and they will make their move soon,” I said.

Actually, instead of traveling to look for the cult, I just wanted to travel around the continent and have some relaxing trip. I’ll just open a portal somewhere and bring everyone with me for the vacation. That’s my real goal.

“So you want to make the cult more aware of you, huh? I think that’s a good plan. And while you’re traveling, you can also investigate the cult by yourself. We just need to keep exchanging reports until we find clues of where the Evil God is located. Once we do, we will use everything we have to kill him and then destroy all the remaining members of the cult so the cult will cease to exist,” Albert said.

“Okay. But how will you travel all over the continent? Are you going to pretend that you’re a hunter?” Fabio asked.

“Huh? Did you forget already? I am a circus clown. I can travel with Thomas’ circus troupe. During my training with the ancient Aura users, the circus troupe took a break at the same time, right? And it’s about time that the circus to perform again. And why not a tour around the continent? I’ll talk to Thomas about this. You just need to give permission for the circus to perform in your kingdom,” I said.

I haven’t forgotten that I’m a circus clown. The legendary Clarence the Clown.

It has been a while since I last performed. But now, I have grown stronger and faster. There are more tricks I can do.

“...Being a circus clown is fine. As long as you won’t forget about your goal to destroy the cult,” Albert said.

“I won’t forget. I will travel as a clown with destroying the cult as my main objective, so I can fully become a clown in the future,” I said.

“A clown? Not a doctor?” old man Henry asked.

“Doctor Clown! I have given all my medical knowledge to Sophie and other doctors. Not just knowledge from the future, but also knowledge from the past that I learned from the ancient Aura users. I don’t need to be a doctor anymore. But if there’s a surgery that no other doctors can do because of the difficulty, I will do it,” I said.

As an Aura Master, the movement of my finger has become much faster and much more precise. Even the surgery that I couldn’t perform in the past because I’m just a single doctor in a village without any help from other doctors, I can do it now alone. And the surviving chance of the patient is also much higher if I’m the one performing the surgery. But I don’t want to continue being a doctor. I have enjoyed being a clown much more than being a doctor.

...Well, it’s mainly because of some annoying patients who would complain and deny the result of my diagnosis. I have experienced a lot of that in my past life even though I’m just a doctor in a small clinic in a countryside.

I feel like if I have to experience that again now that I have become stronger, I will end up killing the patients instead of healing them. That’s a big no for a doctor.

That’s why being a clown is the best. Though if there’s a difficult surgery that only I can perform, I will probably do it depend on the situation.

Soon after, the meeting is over and I return the kings back to their own country. And I talked to Thomas about a tour. He was happy that I will join the tour and he will prepare everything for the tour.

Well, I don’t need it though. Even if I forgot to bring something, I can just open a portal and “POOF!” I have it.

This time, I will join the tour from start to finish. Hopefully.
