Chapter 704: A Group of Girls Venturing Outside

For the next wave, I think I’ll get the werewolves and the vampires to come again probably one day after the transportation schedule for the cult members to enter or leave this world. I can’t get them to raid this place too many times. That will be too suspicious.

And maybe at the day for the summoners to transport people, there will be more people leaving this place. But at least we have the time and the location where they will be transporting people from on Earth. Albert and the other kings will send their people to investigate it during the next transportation schedule.

And the transportation after that will be our target. I will make my big move in this world, while Albert and the others will have their people to capture the people who have just returned from this world.

I had Kayla and the others to prepare for that time as well. I might not ask them to come here, but they will be useful in those places helping the agents.

I won’t use portal to help them. They will move on their own or ask the help of Spot and Ray whom I brought back to Earth. Ray has been enjoying his life in Monsters World playing together with the unicorns and pegasus he met.

Maybe Ray is the king of all horse-type monsters. Does that mean I can ask unicorn and pegasus to be our ride? I’ll try it later after this mission is over.

What I know is that many people are considering to leave this world during the next portal session. Even the girls who are staffs at the inns or restaurants in the middle area were so desperate. They were willing to do anything to any man who can bought them away from this place.

.....

Sorry that I’m not sorry. The monsters will attack again. They are parts of my plan. Though maybe it’s best to start spreading the rumor to other girls in the middle area.

“You can inform other girls now. But make sure that you are careful about it. And don’t tell anyone that I’m the one who will bring them all back to Earth,” I said to the girls at the inn I’m staying at.

This inn is totally empty other than us. There’s no more customers coming. Even people who were targeting women because they think that it’s easy to get women at this time, never come. Other than that guy whom I brought to the vampires so they can drunk his blood.

During the day, there are more people going outside to tame more monsters. Even the fire mage I met before who said that he doesn’t want to work every day started to go out every day.

Thinking that I might be suspicious if I stay the whole time, I also started leaving the base from the gate. I just say that I’m going to meet up with my tamer teammate outside the base when I’m actually on my own.

Though after I left, I return back to the base by jumping over the wall and do my own investigation in secret. And I return back to the base from the gate after two days.

By that time, the rumors have spread to almost all the Community of Victims. That’s what I decided to call those unfortunate girls who were forced to go through all of this just because their parents were with the cult, and they lack the talent or resources to be powerful mages.

“Oh, what were you doing with the money you received here? If you have been here for so long, you should be able to return on your own, right?” I asked the inn owner.

“No, it’s impossible. They only let us leave if someone bought us. If not, no matter how much money we have, we will be locked here forever,” she replied.

“What about giving those money so a man can buy you. I guess that’s impossible,” I said after thinking about what I just said.

“That’s right. Those men will just grab the money and leave. And they might even steal the money and run away before the guard arrive. Even if the guard come and stop those thieves, the guard will keep the money for themselves,” she replied.

Well, that’s how these people are. Why is the cult members have no moral?

“Well, that sucks. Anyway, is there any women who are not part of the Community of Victims and just want to get money or loyal to the cult?” I asked again.

“Community of Victims? Is that what you call us?” the inn owner asked.

“Is there anything wrong about it though?”

“Sigh... fine. Yes, there are some people who are loyal to the cult or they stay here for some reason. But we in what you call as the community can’t trust them no matter what. So we never chat with them unless it’s for something important. And they live somewhere in the center and mostly entertain people there. So it’s rare to meet them,” she said.

Though there’s at least one female master level mage here. I don’t know if there are others, but at least there’s one of them.

I saw her during that time when Arin led the vampires for their second raid here. Although other master level mages are focusing on the monsters even when they didn’t do anything, that woman noticed that I was looking at her. But I quickly turned my head so she couldn’t find me.

As for what element she has, I don’t know. She didn’t make any action even when the werewolves were attacking.

Over the last few days of investigation, I also see some other women who are too different than the women in the Community of Victims. Like they are way too confident to stay in this place.

And today, after staying one night in the base after I returned from the gate normally, when I was leaving the gate and given a black coin, there’s a group of women working together. They are leaving at the same time as I am.

“Hey, you! Stop right there!”

When I was about to leave to the forest away from those girls, one of them suddenly called me.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Where are you going all alone?!”

“To the forest. My teammate is there waiting for me,” I said.

I have prepared my answer in case of a situation like this. I can just say that I have a teammate who prefer to live outside rather than in the base.

I know why they are curious about me. One of the girls were saying in whisper that I’m too suspicious because I didn’t react at all when I’m near them.

Sorry about that. I have always been surrounded by beauties. Also, unlike normal people, I don’t need to turn my head to look at them.

“Why is your teammate move alone?” she asked me again.

“He’s afraid of another raid so he chose to stay near the nest of weak monsters. That way, he is confident to defeat them all. And no tamers interested in taming those monsters. Also, if there are any strong monsters like the vampires or werewolves, those weak monsters will escape. And that will be his alarm to relocate,” I said.

Thanks to my good brain and Victoria’s help in writing stories, we prepared this scenario. There’s no teammate and there’s no weak monsters’ nest.

“I see. That’s all I want to ask. You can leave now.”

Since I can’t fly in front of other people, I just walk leisurely. And that’s when I hear something dangerous.

“You think that guy was not interested in us girls? That’s wrong. For some reason, he is watching us even though his eyes weren’t turning our way. Even now, he can still see us. I can feel he’s staring at me.”

A master level mage! There’s a master level mage among them who noticed my gaze! That’s dangerous!

She’s not the woman whom I saw before. The master level mage one. She’s someone I just met today.

Without making any extravagant move, I pretend that I keep stealing glances at the girls. To make them think that she’s right.

“See? He’s glancing at us. It’s not like he’s not interested. He’s just smart. Smart enough to know that there’s a group of girls who dare to venture out of this place like them. He must be thinking that we’re quite strong. That’s why unlike other men, he won’t approach us carelessly. Let’s forget about him. There’s no man in this place good enough for any of us,” she said as she led her group.

Just like Celestine, she’s transporting her group by moving the ground under them. So she’s a master level earth mage.

I was so close to death. Maybe if I didn’t turn my head once in a while after hearing her speak, she will be suspicious why she can still feel my stare when I’m not looking. That was close.

But those girls, they are worth investigating. At least just the earth mage.

Since they’re outside, I can easily follow them. Though I need to fly, to be invisible, and the control to make sure that a master level mage won’t be able to sense me easily.
