Chapter 675: Picking up All the Country Leaders
Two weeks after I sent Randy to Monsters World for him to train and gain experience, and it’s time for the meeting between kings. Yuria and Patricia will be introduced there. There’s also the issue of whether spirits can be tamed or not, and also about old man Henry’s successor.
“I’m so nervous. This is the first time since our country opened up and we will finally meet other kings.”
That’s what Yuria keep saying to herself ever since I arrive here.
It’s obvious that I will be the one in charge of picking everyone and bring them to the meeting spot. And the meeting spot this time is in Varadis since we’re talking about old man Henry’s successor.
“I think you’re fine. There’s no need to overthink it. But is it fine for your country? Your title as president is something that anyone can get as long as they receive people’s recognition, right? You might be able to meet us now, but in the future, when you are no longer the president, what will happen?” Shirley asked.
“Oh, that’s easy. And it’s something I also learned from Victoria as well. Thanks to the TV. We will broadcast any information about the country. Not only about the result of our meeting with other countries, but also the situation in other cities so everyone is up-to-date with the recent issues. If someone wants to be the president in the future, watching TV and learning from the news is important. There’s also newspaper as well, so it will be fine,” Yuria said.
“I see. That way, your country might be more advanced than ours. I think that’s something good,” Shirley said.
.....
From time to time, Yuria would ask me to lend her Victoria for a bit. I guess this is the reason why.
Still, that’s amazing. This way, even if the president is changing, they will know what happened previously. If it’s a king, only a few people would know what happen. But this country lets everyone knows about it.
“Yeah. Just last week, the people learned about the truth of the Evil God Cult. Using media such as TV will make it easier for normal people to relate to the situation in their surrounding. And newspaper will help as well, but watching the news from TV is easier since people can do other things while watching,” Victoria said proudly.
Why is she so proud? Whatever.
And Victoria said that there’s a set time when the TVs will be turned on. And if there are no news, the one inside the screen will just say that everything is okay. There’s no need to spread fake news.
But using this method means that it’s easier to spread lies and fake news. So for now, the president herself needs to make sure the news to be spread are all have been confirmed to be the truth. And she still need to keep confidential information from the people as well. She will do all that alone until she can get someone to do it.
“About that, I will bring some people that will help me. they will also follow me to the meeting along with Patricia. Is that okay?” Yuria asked.
“That’s okay. The others also will bring some people. Though the meeting is still a secret. So make sure that they can really be trusted and can keep a secret. We can’t let the cult know that we have someone who can freely use portal,” Shirley said.
Yeah. My portal is... no. Everything about me is a secret weapon to use against the cult.
After Yuria and everyone from Rygis is ready, I opened a portal and brought them to a waiting room in the castle in Varadis. And I opened another portal to greet Albert next.
“You’ve brought President Yuria already? That means Shirley is there, right?” Albert asked me.
“Yeah. She said that she’s going to meet Julia before the meeting start. So, who will you take along with you?” I asked.
“The usual. Marie and Miguel. Shirley is already there. And in this occasion, I’ll bring Hector as well. Though once the meeting is over, I want you to get Hector back here right away,” Albert said.
Now, who is Hector again? Is this guy the Prime Minister? Maybe.
Hmm... playing with the kings all the time make me forget even the Prime Minister.
Whatever. I just need to interact with Albert for Tatrama.
Next is Arturo. And I need to bring Fabio, Toni, Bernard, and even Luna, Carmen, and Harold. Kron and Breezy are there as well so I will bring them. I also need to introduce the spirit siblings to everyone.
After that, it’s Consenza. It’s the usual Lynn, Claudia, and Celestine’s group.
And after I brought the representative from Consenza to Varadis, I no longer need to open a portal anymore. I just walked inside the castle casually while all the servants and guards there already know who I am. They respected me and some of them were afraid of me. Some even told me that their beloved friends or family were saved from a disease because of my knowledge.
Wait, how did they know that I’m the one spreading those knowledge? Did old man Henry spread them?
But if it’s just a rumor of me being a doctor that was spread, I guess that’s fine.
Imagine this. I became a famous doctor and surgeon. And I never thought that the Evil God that I’m thinking of killing everyday to be sick. So one of the cult members seek for my help to cure the Evil God. And when I meet him, I will slash Victosword around his neck and kill him.
And that’s it. The story is over.
That would be great for me. But life is not as easy as that. Even with my knowledge and skill, if there are any doctors among the cult, they can learn it easily. After all, I’m not even the best doctor in my past life. Anyone can learn about it in a few years if I don’t speed things up.
Even more if it’s the cult. They won’t care about how much sacrifice they need to make even the littlest progress.
If there’s a doctor in the cult, they will cruelly use humans as experiment to find a cure if the Evil God is sick. So my wish to kill him easily won’t be granted.
I finally enter the king’s office where old man Henry is waiting. And beside him is a man older than me. he seems to be in his thirties. He must be the one who will succeed old man Henry as the king.
“I’m here! Old man, everyone has arrive now. They’re entering the meeting room right now. You’re the last one,” I said right away as soon as I enter his office. And I saw old man Henry’s normal expression as if it’s something that he has experienced many times, and also a shocked expression of his son who never thought that I would be someone like this.
“...This guy is the amazing surgeon father talked about? He’s so rude,” the man said in disgust. If I’m a monkey I would throw my feces at his face.
...That’s just me insulting myself, right?
“Don’t be like that. It’s good that we’re at war with the cult right now. If not, he is just a dangerous person. If we leave him be, who knows what we will do. But now that we know him well, as long as we continue as his friends, he won’t cause any problem. Just know that if not for the cult, he is the most dangerous person in the world. Picking a fight against him can only mean losing everything. But we know what he wants. As long as we help him destroy the cult and promise him peaceful life after that, he won’t cause any trouble,” old man Henry explained.
“Really? If father says so,” the man said. But I don’t think he believed old man Henry so easily.
“Is this the guy who will succeed you? Don’t you think he’s so rude?”
This time I asked old man Henry if his attitude is okay for a king.
“You both are rude. Don’t worry. There’s a reason I picked him. The only thing he needs right now is experience. As long as he has gained experience, I’m sure he could be a decent king. And I won’t retire right away. I will just give him most of my job while I supervise him,” old man Henry said.
A decent king? Not a good or a great one? I guess I shouldn’t expect much from this guy then.
“Sure. If that’s what you want. Let’s go. And you, future king. This will be your first time experiencing portal. Get used to it since you will see it many times in the future,” I said.
All the country leaders are already in the meeting room together with the people they brought. Other than them are my friends. Kayla, Angela, Candy, Jewel, Sophie, and the others.
It’s to show to the new king and to the president who has just become our new friend that these people are someone they should never make a mess with if they don’t want to fight me.
“Oh, beautiful lady over there! It must be fate that we meet! I’m the soon-to-be king of Varadis. And I claim you to be the queen of Varadis!”
...The next king of Varadis just grabbed Sophie’s hand and as he confessed. He just makes me into his enemy. Let’s kill him and pick a better person to be the next king.
