744 The Greatest Invention
The discussion continued to the 4th day. I have been taking everyone to Arturo and back four days in a row. But it wasn’t as bad as that time in Monsters World where I have to open a portal for hundreds of people, fight, then open more portals, and more fighting, in just one day without much rest.
By the way, in the destroyed cult’s base in Monsters World, I heard from Shelia that someone was just returning back after taming hundreds of strong monsters. But the werewolves were much stronger than them all. And Shelia killed the master level mage who was also a tamer.
That means we’re right to have them stay there. There might be more coming, so it’s a good thing that the werewolves stayed behind.
I also opened a portal to that place every two days and gave everyone food and new information from this side. Just to make the agents who stayed behind to not feel bored.
I also checked other places like the villages we raided and the lawless country. I brought some agents back so they can report it to us directly in the meeting. While the rest will return on their own.
That’s right. Just walk on your own. Or maybe fly.
It has been a while since the discussion began, but Sonia still hasn’t told us where the she had been. Is it another lawless country? Or maybe some sort of country that we have no idea of its existence about? Or maybe both? Or maybe neither?
But the only reason we haven’t talked about it must be because we’re still safe. The cult is probably still hasn’t prepared anything to attack anyone yet thanks to the destroyed base.
They must be thinking that it’s because of some powerful monsters. And those monsters are there waiting for more of them to come. They didn’t connect the monsters to us on Earth because they still have no idea that our summoners can use portal as well.
.....
So there’s a high possibility that they will attack Monsters World first. Going to the destroyed base, and see all werewolves that seem strong and trying to tame them.
But we have proven them that our werewolves are stronger than their master level mages. we have defeated several of them. So they will have to send more master level mages if they want to get the werewolves.
But is it worth it to fight the werewolves and tame them?
I don’t know. But the cult must have know by this time that conquering Monsters World is not easy. And they’re going to destroy both this world and Monsters World in the future. So they will probably develop their strength first.
Possibly, they will get as many master level mage first before they start doing anything. But I could be wrong.
We’re currently talking about what each agents in the villages I raided before found. Some of them seem to be useful.
The kings that recently joined still have a lot of questions. But Fabio, Albert, and the others who have been with me for so long, answered all the questions patiently.
“So, there are multiple people in the cult that are called Archbishop. And the one who wears a mask seem to be the big boss of the Archbishops who appointed those fake Archbishops just for shows. There are various theories about why he did that. But the most likely one is that each fake Archbishop is leading a group who made their own beliefs. Just like the factions that Veronica and Celestine lead before. And in case those group of people cause some trouble, the soldiers will fight them and they will think that we will stop after we think that the Archbishop is the highest position and they are not related to other factions.”
Fabio summarized everything that we have found and discussed today.
That seem likely. This way, if a faction act like the good guy, once another faction acted like the bad guy, the good guy faction won’t be suspected even though they should be on the same side. So there only be one faction that will fight us.
But isn’t it already too late by this time to think about that? Maybe they have done so for a long time already. And we just found out about it.
But I guess the cult didn’t expect that we would found out about it very soon. And they might not know it yet.
Hmm... but several of the Archbishop has been captured and killed. So they will obviously know about it soon. I guess we just have to keep our eyes open to any incoming attack.
The discussion then continued to Sonia. And we started introducing Sonia to everyone.
This is a ghost. Ghost can teleport. Ghost relay messages. Ghost is very great!
Is what I will say if I’m the one introducing Sonia to everyone. But I’ll just let the king do it.
In the Blobbies that were given to the kings at first, there’s a small amount of Sonia’s soil which will allow her to teleport to their location.
This means that Sonia will get even busier. Maybe I shouldn’t have killed her harem right away when I first met her. They could be a great help to her.
But I also never thought that Sonia will be used this way. And I have never heard of her making a complaint about how busy she is. I guess she can still handle it.
“I will try my best to relay messages as fast as possible, but it would be difficult if I have several people contacting me at once. But I might not be needed as much anymore thanks to Marie’s invention,” Sonia said.
Wait, what? A new invention? Is that why she brought along those things when I brought them over?
When I brought them to Arturo, Marie asked me to also bring her inventions. It’s looks like black hand mirror with a lot of mechanism inside it.
“Huhu... It’s finally here! The era of phone is here!”
All of a sudden, Victoria shouted.
We haven’t told them all that Victoria came from another world. But she’s acting weird now.
So, those black mirrors are phones, huh? The thing that made Victoria so happy.
Marie showed the phones and demonstrate it in front of everyone.
“I made this thing called a phone. In which you can call or even send a text message to another person whom you have registered in your phone,” Marie said as she demonstrate it.
Then she played with the so-called phone. The mirror suddenly turn bright. But there’s no more mirror. In fact, there’s something that is called screen by Marie.
Then she touched her phone, and after a while, she puts her phone on her cheek. With one side close to her ear and the other side close to her mouth.
Soon after, a weird sound was heard. It’s ringing over and over again. And the source is from Albert’s pocket. Of which there’s another phone stored there.
Then Albert took out his phone, touched it, and do the same thing as Marie putting the phone on his cheek.
“Marie? Yes, we’re connected.”
Okay. By this time, even Angela who lacked interest in the meeting and mostly just sleep or secretly cast small magic to train her magic control, is extremely interested with the invention called the phone.
This way, we don’t have to use Sonia for relaying message anymore. And Sonia can focus on spying on the enemy while being invisible. That would be great.
Though everyone will still have Sonia’s Soil with them just in case they are in an emergency situation and can’t reach their phone for some reason.
“We can use it not just for calling other people who have phone. But also to send messages.”
This time, Marie wrote a simple text and showed what the text is to everyone. It’s just a simple greeting.
Then she tapped her finger on the phone and Albert’s phone is ringing again. This time, it stopped after one ring.
Albert then showed the message on his phone to everyone. He gave his phone to Mustache who walked around and showed the screen to everyone. And the message is the same that Marie sent.
“This is amazing! What a great invention! King Albert, your wife is a genius!”
There’s also a Black Slime with me who acted so proudly. She’s not the one being praised though.
“I actually able to made this for a while already. I just need to make sure that each phone will only be able to be used by the owner and not anyone else. Now, each of the representative here will be given one phone. And I will give them to other people who have been in the alliance for a long time already. I couldn’t create more since the material is rare. You just need to use it like how you use magic item. Imbue your Mana into it. The first time you do it, the phone will be activated and it will register you as the owner. And no one other than you can use it. As for making a phone call and sending messages, you need to have other people’s magic who have phone as well to register their contact. You just need to have the two phones touching each other while the owners are sending Mana into their phones at the same time,”
Marie then gave us instruction on how to use it.
This is great. But can this thing work to connect this world and Monsters World? If so, this thing is way too amazing.
But it means that Marie’s life will be in even more danger if the enemy knows that she’s the only one who can create phone. Well, Mustache will protect her. And even Lana is as strong as regular expert level mage now. In normal case.
When she’s angry or her emotion is provoked, she might be as strong as master level mage.
This also means that those twins whose mother have the same problem as Marie did during her pregnancy, will have one of the kids be exceptionally powerful when they are young.
With how the treatment is already known, there might be more powerful babies in the future.
Still, having twins is already rare as it is. And having the same symptom as Marie did is even rarer. So I hope it won’t be a trouble in the future.
Anyway, phone is great! Phone is amazing! I want ten of them! Maybe more!
