Chapter 640

Chapter 640: She’s Victoria’s Fan

I can’t believe that we got the chance to interrogate the President of Rygis so quickly. Good thing Emilia asked Angela to spar. That woman in black must have wanted to see if Emilia really lost against an expert level mage or not.

As for Emilia, I hope she can get stronger by learning from Angela. And she will hopefully join our cause.

Well, I don’t know if she can learn anything from Angela. Angela is a terrible teacher. But if Emilia can learn by watching Angela, or she can improve with her own instinct like Angela, I don’t need to worry about it. Though once Patricia and Emilia joined our cause, I can just let Kayla be the one teaching them. And they will grow even stronger even without improving their magic level. Or they could even improve their other element which still hasn’t reached master level or even expert level yet.

Anyway, I’m left here in the President’s office to wait when that woman in black willl return. Along with my three familiars who are here so the expert level mages outside will still detect that there are still four people here.

“So, what are we doing?” Graham asked me after I summoned him here.

“Nothing. Sorry, but you must only act that there’s someone here. I don’t need you to do anything, so you can sit on the sofa. But you mustn’t use magic or do anything suspicious. Though you can sleep if you want to,” I said.

Shelia who heard that she can’t do anything, instantly curled up on the floor to sleep. While Graham just looked around the office with no real intention. Though I told him to avoid the windows or we will be seen from the outside.

.....

“So, what do we do?” Victoria asked.

“What else? This is the President’s office. Let’s see if there’s anything we can get. Any important document or something,” I said.

“Then I will look at the bookshelves,” Victoria said as she walked to the bookshelf where I put the listening device at.

“I will enter the secret passage behind the wall where that woman in black is hiding,” I said.

“Is there anything interesting there?” Victoria asked.

“From my experience, the guard of an influential people who protect them from the shadow, is the most suspicious and have something they hide from other people. And this one is a member of the cult, so I don’t want to miss a single thing,” I said.

The experience I talked about was the guard that protected Albert from the shadow. Candy’s teacher who taught her to be an agent. And he has unhealthy affection toward Marie, the queen whom he should protect.

Maybe this one has weird things with her as well. She has a lot of books inside the passage where she was hiding.

And as I used Divine Vision to check every single books, I see several books that seem to be used many times. There’s no dust, and some of the pages are crumpled. And there’s also sketchbooks where that woman seem to draw for her hobby. And when I looked at those books, I turned around and leave the secret passage. There’s no need for me to continue checking this place.

“Oh, Roy. You’re back already? That was quick. What did you find?” Victoria asked.

“...that woman in black is your fan. And she seem to have interest in drawing,” I said.

“Really!? I’m thinking of adapting my novel to a comicbook. Or should I say graphic novel? If she’s not a member of the cult, I would like to hire her. Well, I’ll go and check that place then,” Victoria said as she has an obvious delighted expression pasted on her face.

Adaptation? Does she mean there will be pictures from her novel? The stories she wrote? Where some of the characters are actually based on me? I’ll burn them all when I have the chance.

Then, I checked the books on the bookshelves in the president’s office. And I also look for important documents. But it seems like this place is not where the important documents are stored. But since there are no master level mage in this place anymore, I can use Divine Vision easily and look for where they store the important documents. Though it’s not like I can go there. But at least I know where to go if I need to.

The woman in black hasn’t returned when Sonia appears and told me that I can bring them all back here. That’s too fast. But at least they have done discussing the important matter. Though I don’t know what that is.

For now, I’ll open up the portal. But before that, the guide outside the room called out to the president if there’s anything she wants from her.

I used air barrier to lock the sound from leaving. But I can still make it so the sound from outside the barrier to get in. I feel like it won’t be long before my air magic can reach expert level.

I used the President’s voice to say that we’re fine. Though the guide outside is a bit suspicious. Maybe they are using password in case the President is suspicious of something. I need to get the President back quickly.

I unsummoned Shelia and Graham, and after I entered the secret passage to tell Victoria to quickly return and fixed everything back to its place, I opened a portal and brought Shirley, Patricia, and President Yuria back.

Patricia is no longer restrained. And Yuria seem to have refreshed her mind after the discussion. She must have bear a heavy burden after knowing that the cult she is cooperating with is a dangerous group with the intention to destroy the world. Now that she has spoken with someone about her problem, she seems to be free of her burden.

“Is it done?” I asked.

“Yes. They’re with us,” Shirley said.

“That fast? I’ll hear everything later. It’s good that we have the cooperation of a leader of a country and a master level mage. So, what do we do with the other master level mage?” I asked.

“For now, we will keep it as secret from her. And from everyone as well,” Patricia replied.

“There are too many members of the cult hiding in this country. If we capture just a few of them, the rest will either escape or fight back. And many civilians will be the victims. That’s why we will keep it as secret for now. Has the person outside the door asked if there’s something wrong in this room?” President Yuria asked.

“Yes. Twice. One after I transported you all to Albert’s location, and another right before I transported you back here,” I said.

“Oh, if I don’t give the right reply, they will think that something happened to me. I’ll speak to her now,” President Yuria said as she opened the door to te outside.

“She has told us about the password that she needs to say when everything is under control. And it’s not a lie,” Shirley said.

President Yuria then spoke to the person waiting outside. And she said, “Everything is okay. We’re just having fun.”

I guess that’s the password. When I looked at Shirley, she nodded.

I was right that the president needs to say the right word when asked. Good thing I didn’t try too hard in pretending.

For now, the woman outside is convinced that nothing is wrong. And when the President returns, I used my magic to block the sound from escaping again.

“Well, I’d like to hear about what you were talking about. But I can ask Shirley later about it. For now, while this room is soundproofed by my magic, and Yuria’s guard is not here yet, let’s discuss what we should do next,” I said.

“You won’t call me President Yuria anymore?” Yuria asked.

“No. Unless we’re in the presence of someone else. You have met Albert. The king of Tatrama. But Albert and the other three kings of the major countries in this continent know what I can do. And I have more power since I can tell them what to do. Since you’re just a President of a small country, I won’t act politely anymore unless needed,” I said.

“So I was right that you are the strongest,” Patricia said.

“Yes I am. At the moment, in our whole alliance, I’m the strongest. But I still don’t know if the Evil God is stronger than me or not,” I said.

After that, we chatted a bit of what to do after this. But it doesn’t last long since I can see that the woman in black is returning here.

“She’s coming back. Let’s stop the discussion here. Yuria, give me the card I gave you yesterday,” I asked Yuria for the card I gave her the previous day.

She gave it to me in confusion. And when I grabbed the card, the Blobby decoration behind the card moved. I grabbed a few grain of sand and put them on the card. And they are covered by the Blobby.

“Keep this card with you at all time. This way, I can open a portal to your location. And if you think it’s safe, you can tap the card so you can summon a ghost to be your messenger,” I said.

She wasn’t surprised to hear that we used a ghost as our messenger. That’s because she must have witnessed it before when Albert called Sonia to send a message to me.

The woman in black then returned to her duty as a guard while she has bitter expression on her face. I guess she must have witnessed how Angela beat Emilia.

We talked a bit more, and then I told her to watch the circus tonight before I left.

With this, we have the cooperation of two of the most important people in this country. It’s going smooth so far. I hope there won’t be any problem during our stay here.
