Chapter 653: Our New Additions
We chatted with the two spirits about the outside world. And Patricia is also listening despite the fact that she has heard of it several times before.
It’s because Patricia lived her whole life in an isolated country. Rygis is the only thing she knows. As for the spirits, they were even more isolated because they never left the gale mountain. That’s why we’re talking about the outside world with them.
Good thing Wendy is here. She’s a teacher. Her explanation is easier to understand.
...What about me? I’m a professor. A lecturer.
Well, it was Wendy who taught me at school first. So It’s natural that her explanation is easier to understand than mine.
“So, are you sure that you still want to come with us? After all, if you do, your lives might be at risk. Not only because of the cult. But also because there are other greedy humans who might be targeting you,” I asked the two spirits with concern.
I really want to get them to join us. But since they’re acting like kids, I can only think of them as children. That’s why instead of forcing them to come, or told them the benefit in joining us like how I asked Arin and the vampire group to join us, it’s best to be straightforward with Breezy and Airy.
.....
Hearing what I said, the two spirits have scared expression on their face. It’s easy to tell what they’re thinking.
I guess they won’t join us, huh? Well, they can just stay here. We can come here whenever we want with portal.
“You don’t need to come if you’re afraid. You can continue staying in this place. You have been staying here for three thousand years without anything happening so it should be fine for you to stay,” I said.
“But Roy, what about the cult? Rygis was so close in falling into their hand. And maybe some of them have informed the outside world about the existence of this mountain. Thanks to us, the cult didn’t make any big move at the moment. But they should have known about this place already since many cult members were already here even before we make the existence of the cult public. Sooner or later, they would come here. And... Breezy and Airy will end up facing them. I wish you gave them better names...” Shirley said.
Of course those names suit them. They are wind and air spirits after all.
“You’re right. I guess this place is dangerous as well. But since we can come here whenever we want, it should be fine. We can just get someone to stay here with them,” I said.
I guess they won’t join us now that we told them they’re in danger outside.
“But it’s fine if they’re with you, right? You already have so much monsters with you. You shouldn’t have any problems with these two. At least even us who are expert level mages have difficulties finding them when they are not in their material form. And if you’re with Airy, you can continue become stronger,” Kron suggested.
Hmm... that’s a good idea. But that means the spirits can only go wherever I want. Or I can just easily bring them to Monsters’ Village and get other monsters to get along with them.
“Then that’s it! We will stick with Roy! It’s simple!” Breezy said.
“Yeah. At least other than some people from the cult, there’s no one who is stronger than him if what he said is right. It will be safer to stick with him. Though that Monster’s Village seems scary so please don’t let us go there on our own. We’ll obey you so let us stick with you,” Airy said.
“Yeah! If it’s you, you can protect us, right!?” Breezy asked.
Well, I can. If I can’t, I can just transport them using portal to somewhere safe. They want to go meet Andro, right? I can bring them to meet him.
“I can protect you. But this is war I’m talking about so I’m not 100% sure,” I said.
“You’re an air mage. Just by staying with you, you can get improvement in your air magic. And my brother can stay with you or someone else with wind element. He loves moving around a lot,” Airy said.
That’s the problem. I know Airy can stay with me. As for Breezy, he moves around a lot.
“Are you two okay with being separated?” I asked.
“We’re fine with it. Though for Breezy, I don’t think he can be separated from me for too long. But if he can just open up with someone else, I think he will be fine,” Airy said.
Hearing that, I looked at Kron. For someone who loves to move around a lot, it’s best for him to stick with someone with the same interest. Though one moves around to play, and the other moves around to get stronger. But if Breezy can think of getting stronger as something enjoyable, that would be great. Kron is also a good person and easily socialize with other people. Even now, he’s already best friend with Fabio. The current king of Arturo.
“Then, If he wants to, Breezy con go with Kron over there. He’s a wind mage and he loves moving around a lot. He has traveled to many locations on his own,” I said.
“Really? That’s cool! Kron, can I come with you?” Breezy asked Kron.
“Sure. I don’t mind having a companion with me,” Kron said.
“I guess that settled it. Airy will stay with me and Breezy will stay with Kron. As for this place, it’s fine to leave, right?” I asked the spirits.
“I wonder about that too. What if the magic stones’ production lessened because Breezy is gone,” Patricia thought.
“Don’t worry. It’s just because I’m here for so long that the hurricane won’t stop. Because of us staying here for so long, the concentration of wind and air is strong enough to last for hundreds of year even if we leave. So this place is still a good place to cultivate,” Breezy said.
“Okay, that’s good. Also, although I said that you can stay with us, there will be a time when we need to cultivate so we will come back here either way. You can choose to stay with me or go with another air mage,” I said to Airy.
“I’ll stay with you. When you’re cultivating, I can just rest. I don’t mind not moving around,” Airy said.
“For me, I’ll go with someone else with wind element! If all of them are cultivating, I’ll just stay with Roy since I can be with my sister!” Breezy said.
Well, that’s settled. Next we will introduce these two to everyone.
“Then, I’ll introduce these two to the others. As for you... I guess all of you will be staying here for a while then,” I said after seeing that non of the people here wanted to leave.
“Yeah. I want to cultivate here for a while,” Shirley said. Veronica, Wendy, and Kron agreed with her.
“I also want to see how strong the other wind mages here is. Can I ask any of you for a spar?” Patricia asked.
“Then I’ll spar with you. Though that’s only if you don’t mind sparring with a man. I’ve heard of the culture and tradition of this country before so if you don’t want to, I won’t force you to do it,” Kron said.
“I don’t mind. Participating in the war means that I can’t freely decide whom I want to fight. And I’m different from other women in Rygis. After all, I had a husband and my daughter also married a good husband. Though my granddaughter turned rebellious toward me,” Patricia said.
“Okay then. Let’s fight!”
Well, before I get involved in their fight, let’s leave.
I opened a portal to the circus with Breezy and Airy sitting on my right shoulder. And on my left shoulder is Victoria. I’m truly being surrounded by monsters.
Burnes and the others accepted easily. I guess the fact that they were afraid of me worked well in convincing them. And I need to get their approval because at least we will continue our tour with Airy by my side.
After that, I returned to Cassau and get the others to come there. Other than the kings. I’ll visit them later. And Sara who is busy acting as a messenger and meet Yuria. Though I can just barge in to them right away, but I won’t do that.
At least I want Sara to get to know Airy. Maybe it will be better if Airy stays with Sara instead during the war.
Kayla and the others accepted it easily. Especially Angela who gets along with Breezy rather quickly. Though the only complain they have is my naming sense. I’m sorry, okay.
Finally, I’m introducing them to the kings. At least if the spirits get along with the four kings, plus one president if Yuria to be added, they can gain protection as long as we’re within their territory.
And now, the first thing I will show about the world to the spirits is something important. It’s the circus performance.
Just like the kids they are, they enjoyed it so much that they can’t wait to see our next show.
And a few days later, we are ready to move out of Rygis and continue our tour.
