Chapter 1169: Party Preparation
I’m an S-rank hunter now. But there’s nothing changed at all. Other than the fact that the guild can no longer mess with me and my clan.
It has been two weeks since then. And I just traveled all over the continent moving from one city to another and completing difficult quests.
And from what Penny said to me, there were not as many ridiculous requests as before. So the guild has been trying to mess with me since before.
Penny said that whenever we got some ridiculous requests such as attending a party or something, we will just sent a Princess or a Queen to go. So even those who wanted to say that my clan is under someone, they can’t.
After I got S-rank, I bet those people from the guild no longer dare to mess with my clan anymore. There were no such requests like that. Though I think it’s fine. Because we will be able to show those people how great my clan is.
Though none of the members of my clan actually complained. I guess they managed to take care of those stupid requests.
There’s still a week left until the banquet. And I don’t know what else to do so I keep completing difficult requests from any guild in any city I haven’t been to before.
We also had some more discussion with the Kings. It’s to investigate the other continent. Because there’s a high possibility of the cult hiding there.
Once all preparation is done, then we will surely be going there to check. Of course with my portal, we will be able to return whenever we want.
But we will wait. Because we want to build more submarine first before we go to another continent.
Going there by flying might be too suspicious if the other continent has been completely under the control of the cult. And by ship with a lot of people, if the cult hasn’t taken over the continent, even ordinary people will think that they are being invaded.
So we will wait until the submarine is done. Then we can send people from underwater without being noticed by anyone.
At least that’s the plan.
It will take a lot of effort to build the submarine. The Blacksmith who is staying over in the Monsters World even said that it’s difficult even if a master level mage build it. But he’s not giving up. So he’s still there.
And I still have nothing to do. So I spend my time aimlessly whenever I’m not taking requests or training. And it’s finally the day of the banquet. And we’re doing it in the mansion of a noble in charge of Cassau.
I thought it was Sara who was in charge of Cassau before. But I guess she really stopped being a noble and returned as an agent and a professor again.
Anyway, the current lord of Cassau is just another agent. He quit after reaching master level and fought a few battles. And he built a new family.
But he knew that there’s still a battle ongoing. So whenever we need him, he will be ready. Though since he officially quit being an agent, he will prioritize his family first.
There are also many other agents and soldiers who have officially quit being soldiers. They’re all master level mages. And the King of their country rewarded them with status, position, or something else. In exchange, they will continue protecting the kingdom.
Though the soldiers who continue fighting are still many. In fact, their number is increasing. I guess there are more soldiers now since we haven’t fought in quite a while.
Many people realized that many tragedies around them happened because of the cult. We don’t keep that as secret. So people can learn about them.
Then those people got angry and decided to be soldiers. Albert or the centaurs learned their true desire and intention then I brought them to the Spirit Mountain so they can reach master level. That’s how we got a lot of loyal soldiers.
Even if they retired or quit, their loyalty is still there. Maybe it’s not for the kingdom. Or maybe instead of loyalty, it’s just anger toward the cult. But that’s fine as long as they can be trusted.
Anyway, the party will happen in the mansion of the Lord of Cassau. A former agent. Though he might actually work more as a lord instead of an agent. But he seems happy with it so I’m fine with it.
He might be busy but he can still meet with his family. He also got a newborn baby a few months ago. And with so many agents here because I made this city my base, he didn’t have to work too much I guess.
And now I’m in his mansion to let him brief me about the plan that he heard from Albert. His family members already know who I am. And I’m kind of sorry to them since the cult will probably attack Cassau since I’m here.
"Those who don’t know will think that it’s rude for the star of the party to come late. Even later than the Kings who will also attend. But it will also show them how powerful you are compared to the others. So if any of them still dare to do anything to you, we will be suspicious of them. Perhaps they are members of the cult," the Lord of Cassau said.
In a party, usually, the one who came late is the one with the highest position. So if I am the last to arrive, people will think I’m crazy. But if the Kings allowed it, they will be afraid of me instead.
The news of this party has spread all over the continent. And a lot of nobles from other countries will be here without knowing that their King will also attend.
This will also be where I will show them the power of portals. The true power of a summoner. Then after this, I will start teaching about summoning magic.
With this, summoning magic will be popular. Though it’s not like anyone can choose what element they want to awaken.
"What about the Kings? Will they come with my portal during the event?" I asked.
"You will bring them here before the party. They will attend it when the time comes. As for the how of your strength including your portal, there will be a time for that. You will show everyone your Monsters Kingdom," he said.
"And the pandas will spread love," I said.
"And the pandas will... wait, no. You don’t have to bring the pandas. But I think it will be fine. Though with the pandas, you won’t be seen as threatening," he said.
Oh, right. Pandas are too cute. That won’t be threatening.
"Do my monsters need to wear dresses?" I asked.
"...I think those who have human features can wear the proper costumes," he said.
They don’t like it wearing clothes that are too tight. But who am I? I’m a rich man with clothing factory. Making my monsters clothes that they can wear and move around with comfortably won’t be hard.
...For my workers. Not me. I know nothing about making clothes.
For the dragons, Crab People, and some other who can’t wear normal clothes, I think making them wear a necktie will be enough.
...Maybe I shouldn’t do that. This is my party, the monsters can wear whatever they want.
Before I forget, I should contact the vampires. They are moving around looking for jewelries. My party will be a good place for them to show off what they found. And there should be many other people showing off their wealth. They can watch other people showing their wealth.
...But I might be the richest one attending the party. Though I hate showing off my wealth. I’d rather show off my strength.
"Is there anything else I need to know?" I asked.
"His Majesty told me to say to you that you must not pick a fight with anyone first. He repeated it to me over and over," he said.
Just what kind of person does he think I am? I never picked a fight. People just picked a fight with me. If there’s no one picking a fight with me, I won’t fight. Unless they are members of the cult.
"I won’t get in a fight all the time. Anything else?" I asked.
"After you open a portal to your kingdom, you can get the centaurs to spread all over the place to listen to what everyone is talking. Then if there’s anyone suspicious, the centaurs can tell us. I think that’s all," he said.
"Then I’ll take my leave. I think the vampires will want to wear new dresses even if the other monsters don’t want to. I need to tell them about this party," I said.
By the way, I also invited the higher ups of the guild to come after I finished completing the quests and reached S-rank. I wonder if they will come or not.
