Chapter 697: We Got a New Spy

Albert has finished talking with the girls I brought. And they were all asleep in the guest room in the palace because all tension is gone. They felt that they are finally free and their fatigue from all the events happening to them make them tired. They fell asleep as soon as Candy brought them to the guest room.

Now, only Albert, Mustache, Kayla, and I stayed behind in Albert’s office. Candy and Wendy are away to do something else.

“From being a prostitute into a king’s guests just in a few hours. Look how much they have changed,” I said.

“Yeah. It’s good that you brought them here. They don’t know much, but the information about the cult that I can get from them about that place are still important. We keep talking about the cult like every one of them are combatant. There are also normal people who joined the cult. And those girls, most of them, are children of those normal people. They are with the cult but they are too useless. They didn’t even get the explosive devices installed in their mouth. They are most likely be still alive and oblivious about the fact that their children are prostitutes,” Albert said.

If we look more carefully, there would even be some of the cult believer even in the capital. But they can’t do anything because they can’t contact any main members of the cult now thanks to Albert.

“But they are still with the cult. As long as they are already an adult, I don’t mind killing them. Though if they are children, I will think about it,” I said.

“Don’t kill children if possible. Don’t even think about it as well if possible. We’re going to investigate about places where those normal people who joined the cult are and help those children if possible. I’m assigning Wendy for this job and will ask Veronica’s help because she suffered similar fate to those girls,” Albert said.

.....

Yeah. If Veronica is less talented than other kids, and didn’t grow up to have big butt, she might end up being used by the cult like those girls. Though I don’t know if being used for her butt is lucky or not.

“Probably, the place they need to investigate will be the same as the place that Randy is investigating. So they might be able to help each other. I have contacted Randy about it as well to investigate,” Albert said.

“Okay. Is there anything else?” I asked.

“Only that you will need to return back to that world with that woman who is willing to be our spy. Return to the inn you rested before and she will tell the others there about us. They will contact other girls to prepare to leave that world. As for the time, I heard that you’re here for that. Tell me what you found,” Albert said.

And I gave him the paper with the schedule of the portal transportation is written. The time and the location.

“Hmm... this is good. Not only it was written about where they will perform the portal opening, they also wrote down when it’s going to happen. So they do it every week, huh. I guess you should finish your mission by next week after they close the portal at the very least if you want it done quickly,” Albert said.

“Also, it wasn’t written but they opened portal every night to bring in supplies. And there are some people that I think could be useful if I capture them, but I can’t bring them here,” I said.

“Can’t bring them here? Why?” Albert asked.

I thought about those three summoners before I tell Albert about them.

“Those three are being heavily guarded. Unlike most summoners who come and go and have at least one master level mage with them, even if I didn’t check it myself, they should have at least five or more master level mages protecting them. Seems like they are far too important even though they are just there, sleeping and eating without doing anything important. My guess is that in case of emergency, they will use their portal to leave and report to their higher ups right away. In that case, do you know what it means?” I asked Albert.

Albert becomes quiet and started thinking of what I had just said to him.

“Then it’s high likely that those summoners have set somewhere in this world as their transfer point. And during emergency situation, they will use portal and transport to that place which are most likely related to the higher ups of the cult. And probably even the Evil God himself. That’s why if we transport them to this world, they will lose their transfer point because it will be reset to where we brought them to. Unless they have their familiar in those place,” Albert said.

“Right. That’s why I think it will take a while. Especially since there might be more master level mages in that place than I expected. And so, I need to think of a way to capture those three summoners and block their magic before they can report to someone. Also, the best time to act is after the cult finished with taking care of their supplies in that world and return to this world. Because once we stopped those three summoners, the cult will only realize what happen the next day when they bring the next supplies,” I said.

We only have at most 24 hours before the cult realized that their base in Monsters World is destroyed. We need to be able to capture all those three summoners quickly before killing all the master level mages.

Those summoners will be our clue toward their higher ups and possibly to where the Evil God is.

I told Albert about everything that I learned about the cult’s base in Monsters World. But there’s another thing I want to learn. And Albert also realizes what we need to do first.

“The raid. What about the vampires’ raid? Did those summoners left during the raid?” Albert asked.

“That’s what I want to know as well. I didn’t get any information about it. But at least last night, they are working normally. The supply and the transport of the people were still working normally. Even then, it didn’t take much for their master level mages to stop the vampires. I guess those summoners won’t leave unless it’s life-threatening for them,” I said.

“So we can still do the raid. How about you check the vampires and ask them if they want to raid that place again? Then you can see if those summoners will leave or not,” Albert suggested.

And then Kayla added something.

“We can get Arin’s group to help raid the base. They are more careful than those vampires and stronger as well. There are even ten Vampire Dukes with them. It will be safer if we send them. Though they still need to be careful. Once they raid the base, Roy can see the situation in the place where those three summoners gather and check their reaction,” Kayla suggested.

Yeah. Using Arin and the vampires should be better than having to trust those charmed vampires. But we need to be careful wit them getting tamed.

“I’ll ask Arin about it. And I found a good place yesterday. Somewhere where it should be fine for me to open a portal and return back to that base. I can go there directly without anyone noticing,” I said.

It was near the inn I rested. Where the girls I brought over were working

The inn I rested is near the edge of the base. And it’s also cheap while other inn have better service and everything. The food, although every place have similar food, the closer they are to the center, the better quality of the ingredient they have. So more people chose to stay near the center while those at the edge are mostly for those who lack money and only there for the drink, which should be the same everywhere.

And those who lack money and couldn’t even stay at an inn, they prefer to rest at the road near the gate. Or maybe even camp out and only return when they gained fortune. Taming a lot of monsters I mean.

So the place I’m talking is safe. And it’s not close enough for expert level mage who should be wealthy enough to stay.

If I can get the inn-owner to cooperate with me, I can easily open a portal to a private room instead. But that would be when I get her cooperation.

“Seems like you have a lot to do. I think we are done here. You can leave. I’ll contact the other kings about this,” Albert said.

“Okay. Should I bring Veronica here first?” I asked.

“Yes please.”

I opened a portal to Cassau, and then informed Veronica about it. Although she’s introverted and prefer to stay indoor and read books, she agreed with the plan to look for where normal people who joined the cult is gathering. That’s not surprising.

I transported Veronica back to the capital and see the girls have woke up. So I brought them to my clothing store.

“This is where you will work from today. I’m planning to open more branches in other kingdom, so if you work well and the manager recognize you, you can get promoted and be the manager in other branch I will open. As for you, you will return with me to Monsters World. You already know what you’re going to do, right?” I asked the woman who will be our spy.

“Yes. I will convince the others to leave. But when will we be able to leave from that place?” she asked.

“We don’t know the time yet. There are many things we need to learn first. Though I will go there alone later tonight. Just get some rest and prepare yourself. I will probably bring you there after a few days. Just get ready as soon as the ghost informed you about it.”
