Chapter 635: The President of Rygis

With her flight magic and her enhanced physical strength thanks to reaching master level, Emilia dashed back to the city. She ignores the entrance and just flies above the wall and through the window of a building where she was guarding before. The place that Roy assumed to be the office of the one in charge of Rygis.

“Emilia? What’s wrong? You seem to be in a hurry.”

The one inside the office room where Emilia entered asked her. She is the president of Rygis, Yuria. She looks much older than Emilia, but she is actually younger. Her magic level is not that good as she only reached intermediate level. But her political skill is good enough to make all the people in Rygis to vote for her during the presidential election.

“Yuria, we have outsiders trying to come to Rygis,” Emilia reported to her as she gave Yuria the letter written by Patricia. It’s a message from Patricia about Roy and the others.

“Oh, really? There hasn’t been any guests coming for years. Is it finally the time for our country to be open to the world?” Yuria said as she opened the letter and started to read it. But the more she read it, the more stern her expression changed. Not because of the guests. But because of the report written by Patricia about what she learned from Roy and the others. The fact that there’s a war against a cult that worshiped an Evil God and try to destroy the world.

“Is this real?” Yuria asked Emilia.

“At least that’s what they told us,” Emilia replied.

.....

“So, a group of circus troupe is traveling all over the continent to spread happiness because there’s a war. And Patricia said that soon, a messenger from Tatrama kingdom or maybe another country which will ask for our cooperation to fight this cult. Do you think they want to get you and your grandmother because you two are master level mages?” Yuria asked.

“I don’t think so. Grandma said that they don’t know that we are master level mages until we met. Though I can’t tell if that’s the truth or not. But one thing for sure is that they are already stronger than us even if our level is higher,” Emilia said.

“Wait! You mean that a master level mage like you can lose?” Yuria was shocked hearing that.

“It’s not that I can lose. It’s that I already lost. I asked for a match with someone among them who was hired by the circus to be their guard since she’s friend with them. She was just an expert level mage, but not a normal one. They said that there’s a tournament between the four major power in the continent, and she came out as the winner. Hence she was crowned as the strongest in the continent. And I lost against her without even able to give her a scratch,” Emilia said.

Her tone is telling Yuria the mood she’s in. She’s depressed because of her defeat against a stranger from the outside world that was dubbed as the strongest mage.

“...I thought that a master level mage is undefeated. But the outside world is scarier than I thought. Maybe it’s wrong for me to try and make this country open to the world,” Yuria said.

“No, Yuria. You’re wrong. If we stay locked here forever, we will never know the danger that we’re facing. And if what they said about the cult wanting to destroy the world is true, that means we will also be their target. Knowing how dangerous the outside world is much better than not knowing how we will die,” Emilia said.

“I see... So, you’re agree to let that circus group to enter this city?” Yuria asked.

“I didn’t say that. That’s a separate matter. And it’s for you to decide. Roy, the one who represent the circus, said that if they can’t get a permission, they will leave. But they are just a circus group. They can’t tell the outside kingdom to not send messenger to this country. I’ll leave the decision to you. We decided to trust you as our leader,” Emilia said.

“Hmm... I think it’s good. They can also be our introduction to the outside world. We can allow them to perform here with a condition that they will inform us of what’s going on in the outside world. We will discuss it more later with the representative of the circus later when we meet. But since most of the citizens still feel unsafe, we can only let them borrow the land outside of the city. Though they are allowed to enter. I’ll write a letter to the circus so you can deliver it,” Yuria said.

Yuria then grabbed a paper and a pen to write her response. Emilia then waited for Yuria to finish her letter.

“...So, do you know what a circus is?” Emilia asked.

“You don’t know? That’s why you should read more books. There are some books about them in the library. You can go there and read them if you like,” Yuria said.

“Me? Reading? I’ll pass. They will come here anyway. I can watch them later,” Emilia said.

“Sigh... It’s just some people doing tricks. There’s nothing interesting about it. We have magic so why do we need to watch people do some tricks? Magic is more interesting, right? Here’s the letter. Send it to the circus,” Yuria said.

“Alright. I’ll be leaving then,” Emilia flew from the window to go to where Roy and the others are.

“Sigh... come here!”

In the empty room, Yuria shouted to call for someone. And from behind the wall, someone come.

She is someone covered in black cloak. But everyone there knows her as the president’s personal guard. Unlike Emilia and Patricia who are responsible for the whole city, this one is only responsible for Yuria’s life.

“You heard that? Seems like our True God is being called as the Evil God in outside world. What do you think?” Yuria asked the woman.

Unknown to Emilia and Patricia, Yuria and her personal guard are actually closely related to the cult. They keep it as secret from the master level mages.

As for Patricia and Emilia, they can sense Yuria’s guard. But they can’t hear what the president and her guard are talking about. So, once Emilia left, the two can freely talk about anything. Including about the cult.

“I don’t know. I don’t have any news coming from the outside for a while. Maybe what they’re saying is true. And they have killed many members who should be coming here as messengers,” the woman in black said.

“I see... Then we must continue pretending that we know nothing of the cult,” Yuria said.

“But this is going to be troublesome. I helped you to be the president because you want to change the country. And you said that you will find a way to get those two monsters to join the cult. But you were unable to do that until now. Even more, that person who is called as the strongest in the continent can defeat that monster. Easily. We should have persuade them to join us sooner,” the woman in black said.

“I know. My plan is going well. And they will be easily persuaded in a year or two since my plan is working. But because we know nothing of the outside world, we were too late to act. But if someone with the strength of an expert level can defeat a master level mage, don’t you think that those two will be useless in the end?” Yuria asked.

“There’s no way a master level mage will be useless. Bringing them to join us will raise my status more in the cult. Even if it’s just one. Whatever the case, we must hide the truth from everyone. Good thing it’s just the circus. If it’s the messenger from another kingdom, we will be in trouble. We can think of our next plan after the circus group is gone. But for now, let’s act like usual,” the woman in black said.

“Okay. Go and tell the others to stay low and don’t act suspicious. I will try to get information from that circus group as much as possible. Then, we will know of the cult situation outside Rygis,” Yuria said.

The woman in black then leaves the office to inform the other cult members staying in the city. And Yuria stared at the window toward the direction Emilia is flying.

“...I hope I did the right thing,” Yuria said in low voice.

Other than the people related to the cult, no one knows that the cult has infected the country. And even their president is related.

And without them knowing anything, our protagonist, Roy, has heard everything.

While Emilia is delivering the letter to Roy, Yuria is storming her brain to figure out what to do. And the woman in black is informing the other members of the cult hiding there to stay low.

And none of them know that in the letter that Emilia delivered to Yuria, Roy has attached a very small Blobby that can’t be detected by the two master level mages. It’s very small, and Roy used his Aura to try to cover its presence from the master level mages.

Inside that Blobby, there’s a device that can transfer the sound it heard to a device connected to Roy’s ear. Which is covered with air magic so only he can hear.

Roy who heard what Yuria and the woman in Black smiled after hearing everything.
