749 Sunglasses is a Prince
Several angels then come to the stage and healed everyone. Including Jewel.
It was a fine match. Even though it was clear for me that Jewel would win, Sunglasses did his best and received everyone’s recognition.
He’s someone we need in battle. By letting him take command, we might be able to reduce casualties and defeat more opponents. He could be a great commander.
The question is whether he can only lead a small group of people, or lead an entire army.
And with phone in his hand, or even using Sonia as messenger, he can relay order instantly. And the army doesn’t need to wait until someone come to relay his message.
Still, he needs more experience. Let’s give him a chance to fight in the next battle. He can act as the commander.
If he shows great capabilities as the commander, then that would be amazing.
Jewel and Sunglasses returned back to the audience seat. I praised Jewel for er victory, while Sunglasses walked to his king and apologized for his loss.
“I’m sorry, brother. I lost even though we outnumbered her,” Sunglasses said.
.....
“Don’t worry. It was great that you can make a team from a group of strangers. And they are monsters at that. And it was a good show. Now we know how vast the difference of our experiences and strength are. While we only focused on our own territory, they have fought against the cult everywhere. I guess this is a good time to announce it to everyone. You don’t mind if we do this, right?” the king asked Sunglasses.
“Yes. I have no problem with it.”
What is it? Everyone here can hear them clearly.
It seems like Sunglasses is a prince. He’s the brother of the king. And the king has prepared to announce something. But Sunglasses seem to reject that idea until now.
His other guards, the woman who is the queen and another person, also agree with something that they are talking about.
Meanwhile, I tried to remember the king’s name and his kingdom.
If I’m not wrong, his name is King Gunther from Panthero Kingdom. Small kingdom near Varadis.
From the discussion, and also the introduction in the documents that everyone received, Panthero was a victim of the cult.
The cult tried to subdue the kingdom and even block them from asking for help from their neighbor, Varadis. They succeeded.
But the mages that the cult sent were weak. Just some expert level mages and most of them were advanced level or below.
After years of battle, famine, poverty, and many deaths, Varadis finally started to check on other kingdom. That’s when they noticed that there’s a blockade stopping them from entering.
Under William’s order, advised by old man Henry, Varadis entered Panthero’s territory without permission. And they finally noticed the situation.
It was during the time that I was staying in Monsters World so I missed it. Though the cult members were only at expert level at most. So with Julia’s help, they helped Panthero to end the war.
Unfortunately, many people had died. And there were too many things to do.
Varadis promised them to give them help while also informing Panthero about things that happening outside of Panthero.
They conclude that the cult was trying to take control of Panthero as a way to invade Varadis before trying to invade other countries. And Panthero agreed with the alliance there.
But seeing from the interaction between Sunglasses and his brother the king, it seems like they have other ideas.
Though if it’s about strengthening our alliance, that would be great. Not only Sunglasses. But the king’s wife, and the other guard, are also at expert level. I guess that’s why after so long, their kingdom can still survive under the cult’s invasion.
Then that king, Gunther, asked for everyone’s attention. Except for the monsters who just don’t care. They even started the next fight by themselves since it seems like it’s going to take a while until we finished with Gunther’s announcement.
Oh, wow! I have memorized his name! As for Sunglasses, I still don’t know his name yet though.
“Excuse me, I’d like to announce something. It has been in our mind for a while. But now, we have agreed on it. King Henry, I’d like to give you my kingdom. It would be best for the citizens if they are under you,” Gunther said.
Oh, that’s it? He’s going to give up his kingdom to old man Henry?
There’s a heated argument with other kings. Saying things like being irresponsible or calling him coward. But seems like it’s not just him and the people he brought who agree. Other important people in his kingdom also feel the same.
“I’m sure it won’t be any worse than it currently is. I can’t promise the citizens to give them food and shelter after so many battles. But if the kingdom is gone, and it’s under Varadis’ control, I’m sure that the citizens can prosper. At least much better than it currently is. I rather have that than give them empty promise.
“And since Varadis have fought against that cult much better than we have, the citizens will feel safer as well. We have thought it through. And we agreed. But we also need to be sure that the alliance have enough strength to fight. That’s why I wanted Rudy, our strongest mage, to test your strength. Fighting against the disciple of the strongest person here is a sure way to confirm the alliance’s strength. And with Roy able to use portal everywhere, he can send people as soon as possible during emergency.”
Oh, they have think it through. Well, it’s also up to old man Henry to decide.
I don’t think that’s a discussion to have in this place. So I let the two sides from Varadis and Panthero to discuss it back in Arturo. Fabio and Toni joined as mediator.
While we still here because there are still matches to see.
At least at this time, the other kings already understood what Gunther was talking about. I guess they’re all kings who think deeply about their citizens. That’s nice if it’s true.
For now, everyone enjoyed the match. Wendy fights. Candy fights. Another bodyguard fights.
And then when Patricia wanted to Derek, I got a call from old man Henry. Their discussion is over.
And I only realized that the phone can reach the moon. Or Monsters World.
“Damn, I forgot to test it! But I guess it’s okay now. Marie, the phone can reach the moon. I don’t think we will have a problem contacting anyone,” I said before I grabbed old man Henry and everyone back to Monsters World.
The decision was Panthero will be under Varadis. But old man Henry decided that Gunther will be a noble of Varadis and given that territory.
With that, old man Henry received three powerful mages. One of them is Sunglasses.
I know his name is Rudy, but I like calling him Sunglasses.
“Hey, I know you’re blind and use air magic to check your surrounding. But I have a question. Is there a time when you remove your sunglasses?” I asked.
“Hmm? Usually, it’s just when I want to wash my face or when I sleep. Other time, never,” he said.
“Then I will call you Sunglasses from now on. I have terrible memory so you have to put up with it,” I said.
“...Do I have the right to refuse?” Sunglasses asked me back.
“Ask Mustache,” I replied while pointing at Mustache.
By the way, Sunglasses will participate in more fight from now on. While the other two expert level mages from Panthero, will focus more on protecting the kingdom. So they will be busy with the entire Varadis and not just Panthero anymore.
“Sunglasses, you can continue watching the match and gauge everyone’s strength. With your leadership you’ve shown us before, I have high hopes in you. It will help you grow stronger as well just by watching,” I said.
He then watched the match as I told him to. Especially now. Patricia fighting against Derek. Both of them are master level wind mages.
Both of them are old. But it doesn’t matter. Master level mage have longer lifespan than average person after all. And they are perfectly fit to fight.
“Sunglasses, what else can you do with your air element?” I asked.
“Nothing much. Just for breathing and detect movement. I just somehow got it to expert level while improving my ice element,” he said.
If he’s just cultivating but somehow get stronger, there might be another air spirit at where he’s cultivating. Maybe if we have two air spirits at the same place, our cultivation speed will get faster.
“Alright, listen to me. I’m a professor in a university teaching air elements. Watch this. I’m making Air Barrier. The two people fighting are master level wind mages. Their wind are strong enough to destroy everything and kill everyone here. But even though I’m just an expert level air mage, I still can protect myself and everyone behind me by using Air Barrier. I’ll teach you more about air magic. Including various type of gases. Air element is seen as useless, but if you use it well, it can be used for crowd control. I can also teach you about magic control. It will help you with your ice element as well. Sit, watch, and learn.”
The fight started. And I just teach Sunglasses about air element.
It’s great that he’s a quick learner. He’s even eager to use what he learned and wanted to fight again.
