Chapter 790 - 790 No Master Level Mages

790 No Master Level Mages

Time to go investigate the other island! Yay!

No, not ‘Yay’. I have been doing investigating and fighting for a while already. I’m bored.

But I have no choice. I’m the only one who can do it. Because the people we are going to fight have many master level mages with them. If it’s other people, they will get found out right away. And I’m the only one who won’t get caught. At least not yet.

“Sigh... Spot, are you ready?” I asked.

“I wish the fight will start today. I want to go into action quickly,” Spot said.

I guess he’s bored as well. He’s just flying around and uses his camouflage skill so there’s no fight happening at all.

In the previous island, we met an earth spirit. And depend on the result of the fight, we can get the earth spirit to join us. Or at least we can use that island for earth mage to cultivate since the earth spirit won’t move if the island is not destroyed.

What about the next island? I hope we can find a spirit who will join us. But there’s no strong fire or ice in the next island. So I don’t think we will find any fire spirit or ice spirit. Though it’s still an island. Close to the ocean. So maybe a water spirit can be found.

We already have an air spirit and a wind spirit. An earth spirit also promised to help us. If we can get at least fire spirit and water spirit, then we would have four common elemental spirits. Which will help us a lot.

.....

Though there’s one person with all four common elements. So I guess she will be the one getting the most of it if we can get them.

And if we can get lightning spirit as well, that would be great. Though I don’t know whether healing spirit, summoning spirit, or tamer spirit exists. I doubt they were.

I opened a portal to the second island to investigate. It’s the other island without the castle. And this one has more people than monsters.

“Hmm? Hmm.... huh?”

I looked around from above with Divine Vision to check the island. Similar to other cities related to the cult, the people are farming, fishing, and hunting. But I see something weird.

“What’s wrong, Roy? This island seem to surprise you,” Victoria asked.

“Yeah. All the monsters here are for breeding purpose and for food. They are not for fighting purpose. Well, it’s just a part of the area I checked. So let’s see other area before making an assumption,” I said.

Riding on Spot in the sky, I checked other area. And I see other breeding ranch for monsters and some animals. Those monsters are big but they are not hostile to people. Some sort of bison monster. Just one of them is big enough to fill the stomach of a small village. But they breed a lot of them.

Although the population of humans is bigger than those bisons, I doubt there will be any lack of meat for them. And not just them. It’s also enough to supply an entire country. Not a big one. But it’s still a lot.

And in the island with the castle, I also see some breeding ranches. So maybe there are still other places in this world where they breed monsters for food.

Anyway, let’s focus on this island first.

Those bisons look so tame. Even if they are not hostile, they are way too tame. Which mean that there’s a tamer.

The Dragon Kings told me that there’s other monsters who got captured. But they are not here. So my guess is that they are in the island with the castle, or they were transported to other location.

And from the look of it, everyone here looks weak.

As usual, there are no children. But almost every single person here has explosive devices in their mouth.

Although that once the cult decided that their believers are loyal, they won’t ask them to have explosive device in their mouth. But I guess I was wrong.

Only a few people doesn’t have explosive device in their mouth. But I don’t think that they are master level mages.

When I tried to look at them directly at their faces, they didn’t sense it. No reaction at all. Which means that they are truly not master level mages.

“...Everyone here hasn’t reached master level yet. Seems like this is where they gather the people who are not likely to reach master level but still loyal to the cult. Many of them are old people. None of them look young. And those without the explosive devices look so old,” I said.

“Isn’t that good? That means we can get those without experience to fight here. We recently gained a lot of allies. Most of them joined because the cult was involved in an attack to their territory. But some never been attacked at all. If these people are weak, then it’s a good idea to let our new members to fight here while the others are busy with other islands,” Victoria suggested.

I also thought the same. I guess since this island is the farthest from the continent, they think that it’s safe here.

Wait, using that logic, it means that there are many other islands far from the continent where the cult is hiding. Maybe the reason Timmy didn’t sensed the Evil King was because the Evil King is not in the continent at all.

Well, I don’t know about that. I can only kill people and let the others find out where the Evil King is. I’ll just patiently killing the cult members I found.

“For now, I think it’s safe to put some agents in this island. Though I just hope that no one in this island will be suspicious of them. I’ll discuss it with the others after I finish checking this island,” I said.

The city works normally. Everyone is busy. And after a few hours of watching, I know that everyone here always go to the church. At least once today. Though those who I didn’t see at the church were probably have been there before I came to this island.

If everyone has been to the church, then it’s possible that everyone knew each other. And the villages nearby only have some people. So it’s obvious when outsiders enter the village.

I guess it will still be difficult to infiltrate this island. But at least it’s not impossible since there are no master level mages.

Maybe if it’s just a village, it’s possible since they almost never go to the city other than for trading purpose.

We can just get someone in the middle of the road, asked to enter a village when the villagers finished trading with the city and on the way home. That way, it won’t be too suspicious. The villagers will just think that it’s another citizen who wanted to live a quiet life.

Maybe we can ask an older agent to do it. It will be more believable if he just said that his children moved to the main island or something because of their potential. The villagers will most likely believe it.

Well, I will suggest it to the others. They will be the one doing it after all. And since this is close to Varadis, I guess it will be Varadis who will send an agent.

I looked at some villagers, and they also have explosive devices in their mouth. So maybe we will put some fake explosive device inside the agent’s mouth before sending them.

After looking around for a bit more, I think I had enough.

“Yup. No one in this island noticed me. I think it’s time to go home,” I said.

“You’re not checking the castle island right away?” Victoria asked.

“I’ll do that next time. Investigating this island make me too relaxed since we don’t have to worry about getting discovered. If I let down my guard in the last island, I will be discovered and that will be bad. Let’s... wait, I see a portal is opening,” I said.

I looked inside the portal, which is inside a building in the city, and it’s not connected to place I’ve been to. Not any of the three islands here. So it seems like the portal is connected to Monsters World since I see a lot of monsters there.

Someone entered the portal and talked to someone there waiting for him. Then the man leaves through the portal and the guy he’s talking to is going somewhere else to meet someone and relay a message.

“I think I just found the man in charge of this island,” I said.

“What did you see?”

“He’s writing about something like recruitment offer so the people who want to leave can leave. I guess that’s how the cult is getting some people to join them. Some of the opening is doing missionary job to spread the influence of the cult in secret.”

We have moved closer to the man in charge of this island. Since he’s not a master level mage, he didn’t notice us at all. And I’m close enough to see what he’s writing.

Well, I’ll tell it to the others. I think it’s time to go home.
