Chapter 949: Bringing the First Group to the Spirit Mountain
Chapter 949: Bringing the First Group to the Spirit Mountain
The day has come for me to bring the first group of mages to the Spirit Mountain. So the first thing I did was to get everyone together first.
Since everyone has decided that even with how much I am connected to Tatrama, I will continue to be neutral and not side with Tatrama until the cult is completely destroyed, they decided that it’s best if we just gather in Tatrama whenever we have a meeting from now on. And it will be easier since we don’t have to get the servants of other countres to clean up the place all of a sudden like they usually did.
Though Albert complained that in the end, it will be his servants who will be busy. Though if the place we will hold a meeting clean all the time, there won’t be any problem at all. They just have to serve more food.
Anyway, I brought all the kings and everyone who will be brought to the Spirit Mountain together in Tatrama. I have more than enough mana to transport them all even though I haven’t fully recovered my mana.
"Is this everyone?" Albert asked.
There are roughly two hundred people here. It’s not much considering that when combined, we have the force of hundreds of thousands people.
But it’s not unexpected either. After all, our strongest force will be in the first group to go to the Spirit Mountain. Which will make our defense significantly decreased.
From this group, I can see Kayla, Jewel, Candy, Wendy, Shirley, Sara, Kron, Oleg, Randy, Sunglasses, Julia, Carmen, Celestine, Veronica, and even Mustache will come. The most surprising one was Fabio because he’s a king himself.
"Don’t worry about Arturo. While mother and I will try our best to improve and become stronger, Toni and father will help with taking care of the kingdom’s matter. They agreed to do it. Though father was a bit reluctant to return to the throne albeit only temporary. As for Luna, I’ll ask you to please take care of her in Cassau," Fabio said.
It has been confirmed that my position is that of a babysitter. I guess that’s because they trusted me way too much.
I thought that Carmen had no desire to join the battle. But I guess she learned that even if she had no desire to join the battle, the battle can come her way whether she wanted it or not. So she needed to grow stronger.
"I will also leave, Your Highness. Even though I have assigned some trusted people to guard His Majesty, please make sure that His Majesty will stay safe, Your Highness," Mustache said.
Ever since he learned that I’m Albert’s half-brother who share the same father, he started calling me ’Your Highness’ because of it. It’s not bad to be called that so I didn’t mind it.
"I will also have my own training, so I don’t think I will have the time for that," I said.
"You? What kind of training is it?" Albert asked me.
"Not something like staying in the Spirit Mountain for a long time. Probably just a bit of sparring with the monsters. I won’t be too busy so if anyone needs me, they can call me. Just for something important," I said.
I also have something I need to ask my maid. But I won’t tell them. Lina is free to do what she wants. And I won’t shamelessly ask her to get these people to use Lina to help them.
But that will be after this.
Well, not really after this. I will return back to Melk first before returning to Cassau.
Though I already went to Cassau before. To bring Oleg’s family to my place and get Jewel and the others here.
"I guess you need to get used to that hand. But be careful. If you’re too used in using that as your hand, you might feel weird when your hand regenerated in the future," old man Henry said.
He’s also someone who wanted to reach master level so he can rule his kingdom for a long time. But that’s his goal. And not to become stronger.
Since that’s the case, he won’t go to the Spirit Mountain anytime soon. At least he won’t until several more groups have reached master level and he can rest easy with William in charge when he leave later. But now, it’s not the time for him to move yet.
Celestine and Veronica will also be going. Even though they only have one element each and they have reached master level in the element they can use, they still hoped to get stronger just a bit more.
I knew that Celestine wanted to be stronger. But Veronica? That introvert who prefer to read book over other things?
Well, maybe she’s like Carmen who thinks that getting stronger is important. Though it’s good that They are willing to get stronger.
At least it’s good to know that those two were willing to return first if there’s an emergency.
Others who have reached master level in one of their elements like Kayla, Kron, Wendy, and Shirley also wanted to go so they can get their other elements to reach master level as well.
But what I really want to see the most is Jewel reaching master level in her lightning element. She could be our strongest force only after Angela if Angela could reach master level in her four elements. We called it multielement now.
I experienced it myself how strong a master level lightning mage was. Not from a weak master level mage with lack experience who only focused on getting stronger. But from the Archbishop.
And that lightning of his was able to burn my severed right hand into ashes in less than a second. If it’s a master level fire mage, even when they are using their strongest fire, it will take them a few seconds until my hand will be burnt to ashes. Not that I have tried it. But I have seen it used to burn someone into ashes.
I’m sure that her lightning, combined with everything she has learned from me about magic control form the future, or from the past knowledge she learned from the past Aura users who were also powerful mages, she will be stronger than the Archbishop.
It’s a shame that Sophie who was also a lightning mage didn’t want to join. But it’s fine because her role is not less important than those who will fight.
"Well, if everyone is ready, then I’ll bring you all to the Spirit Mountain," I said.
Though I needed to bring the kings back to their own country first so I can take my time staying in the Spirit Mountain before doing my own thing.
"That’s a lot of people you bring. But don’t worry, we have enough space in this mountain for everyone to breakthrough," the Spirit King said
I checked the mountain and I can see Angela is currently cultivating next to several fire spirits. She’s so focused that she didn’t even care about us coming here even though I’m sure that she can sense us.
I then introduced the Spirit King to the people who had never met him before I told them that they are free to do anything they want here as long as they don’t bother with the spirits. I also brought enough food for them all to last for a week. And next week, I will bring more supply for them.
"Seems like you went through a lot in just a few days. Can I see?" the Spirit King asked as he looked at my fake right hand. I guess he can tell that this is Victoria. And he asked if he’s allowed to see my memory of the past few days.
It’s fine. It’s a cheap price for his cooperation.
"Hmm... do you want me to read the memory of that Archbishop?" the Spirit King asked.
"Will you do that though? I thought that you don’t like to read any random people’s memory. You just love to read the memory of those who were climbing this mountain to see what drive them to climb. Am I right?"
"You’re right. I just asked to see if you remember it or not," the Spirit King said.
That was close. It’s a really bad idea for him to ask someone who forgot a lot of things. Though isn’t it his fault that my memory became terrible? A brain damage due to transplanting my brain from the future to my body in the past? It’s all his fault. But I can’t blame him because it was him from the future. Not the present.
...To hell with it! I’ll just blame it on him. Though I can’t say it out loud if I want his cooperation
"It’s good that you remember it. I don’t want to be used for things I didn’t agree with. Even if you ask me politely, I still won’t like it," he said.
"Then don’t test me. You do know that I have bad memory, right? Maybe I will really forget about it one day. Anyway, your cooperation here is already a lot to us. Also, I made sure that everyone here will agree when you come to them and ask them if you can read their memories. I made it as the requirement for them to be here. This way, even you won’t get bored, right?" I said.
"That’s good. Though I don’t think there will be anyone whose memory is more interesting than yours," the Spirit King said.
Though I wonder why the treatment if it’s us and if it’s the Archbishop is different. It’s just reading memory.
Still, it was scary as well. The reason he helped us was because he read my memory. What if he read the memory of the Archbishop? And what if for some reason he agreed with the cause of the cult because of it?
I guess it was really the best idea to not let him read the memory of any members of the cult.
After I finished with everything there, I returned back to Melk. Now, my own training started.
