Chapter 984: Plan for the Vampire King
Chapter 984: Plan for the Vampire King
Today, after a long time, I went on a date with Kayla. We decided to go to the capital of Arturo for it.
Though during our date, we encountered Fabio who is on his job. Walking around the street to check if there’s anything wrong with it.
Now, we might be friends. But it’s not something that I can just show to the people here who don’t know about me. So I tried my best to avoid him.
But he’s a master level mage now. So he already noticed that I was watching him from afar. He just looked at my direction before ignored me completely.
"Seems like he’s busy after returning," Kayla said.
"Not really. He had a few days break after returning. During that time, Harold took care of his duty. Now that he’s a master level mage, he won’t get tired easily. And he also has Toni with him. He should be fine," I said.
In fact, I think Fabio has it easier than other kings. Not only the previous king, his own father, will help him, he has Toni as well.
While old man Henry has to take care of most things on his own despite already appointed someone to be the crown prince. Though he seems to enjoy doing it. He wanted to be a master level mage because he could be the king for a much longer time.
Then there’s Albert. I think the only person he can rely on in politic is the Prime Minister and Randy. Though they are good, they are nowhere as smart as Tony.
As for Lynn, everything was taken care of by Claudia. She rarely appears on public.
That’s what I heard about the four big countries. The rest, they are smaller in size. So I don’t think they are busier than these four. Though that’s just from my viewpoint. I know nothing about being a leader of a country. Just one village with simple-minded monsters is enough for me.
"What about the other master level mages?" Kayla asked.
"After they returned, they were given some time for vacation. Meeting with their friends and family before they took another mission. Though now that they are stronger than the kings, they got much better treatment. Most of them either decided to stay in their hometown or move with their entire family to a designated location for them to protect," I said.
"I see. Despite their strength, they still decided to fight the cult. But what about after the war?" Kayla asked.
"That will depend on the kings. Or maybe me. As long as I’m alive, they will know that they are no match against me and won’t do anything bad. Though I don’t think that’s the case. After all, everyone who entered the Spirit Mountain has been tested their loyalty by Albert and the centaurs. I’m sure it will be fine," I said.
I know what she’s worrying about. Since there are more master level mages, if they decided to go rogue, there’s no king who can defend themselves. Other than Fabio probably.
Even if that’s the case, I still think it will be fine. Because all the kings have people they trust the most to be by their side.
Albert has Shirley, Randy, and Mustache. Though Shirley and Randy won’t stay with Albert all the time, Mustache will. And their loyalty is not to be questioned.
Lynn has Celestine. There might be other people, but I will just say those I know.
Old man Henry has Julia. And Fabio himself is a master level mage. With his mother who has also become a master level mage, there’s no need to worry about them.
Instead of a date, Kayla just asked me about everything she was curious of. So I had to answer everything to her truthfully so she can rest easy.
And just like that, our date is over. And I went to the Monsters World on my own to see how everyone was doing.
"We tried to cooperate with several monsters. Not all of them have good compatibility with us. Though some monsters were good enough to be in another group. We will continue deciding who will come with us for a few weeks. Until then, we will just go around this area. Or maybe we will just camp for several days while traveling before returning back to the village. We won’t leave this village at the same time. We will leave once we think that we have enough chemistry with the monsters," one of the agents said. Seems like they arranged him to be the one to meet me whenever I come here.
Well, that’s good. Because I already have problem remembering one person’s name. If I had to remember everyone’s name, that would be difficult. And they already knew that.
"I see. If you have any trouble that needs my help, you can contact me. Also, you don’t have to come to me when I’m around since I can see you from afar. I don’t really get why everyone thinks that they need to give reports to me," I said.
"Understood. I will tell the others then."
I just want to see. Not hear. For the reports, I have decided that anything not related to medicine or the cult, I’m not smart enough to handle them. They can give their reports to someone else. I will just see if they are doing well or not.
After checking if everyone is fine, I returned back to Cassau. I’m only here to see if there’s any group that have left. I just need to see if they’re in the village or not.
After that, whether they decide to return to the village whenever they want or camp outside, it’s up to them. The village will accept them anytime.
It’s night. And since I have nothing to do, I went to bed right away after taking a bath.
I was sleeping soundly. But suddenly, someone entered from the window. It was Arin and Victoria who had just left to look for the trace of the Vampire King last night.
Good thing I didn’t sleep with anyone tonight. Or they will be spooked when these two suddenly entered the room.
"I found where that Vampire King is staying. And yes, he’s a Vampire King and not a Queen like me," Arin said.
"And why didn’t Victoria inform me via telepathy?" I asked.
"We haven’t met the Vampire King yet. We just found his whereabouts. Including about a few dozens of vampires. It’s a force enough to destroy a city without a single master level mage. So I want you to ask Albert of what to do next," Victoria said.
Albert said to leave it to me. But if they have that many vampires with them, then I guess it’s best to ask Albert about it.
And so, I called Albert in the middle of the night. And he picked it up soon after.
"Lots of vampires found. What should we do?" I asked Albert.
"There’s a chance that they are someone’s familiar. But if they’re not, then if possible, I want to recruit them. It was Arin who found the Vampire King’s trace, right? Then they should have found Arin’s trace in Cassau as well. Since the cult should have known that we have a group of vampires, if these vampires are in contact with the cult, then they must be thinking that Cassau is suspicious. Try to interrogate the vampires first with the help of the centaurs. And do it far from the city if possible," Albert said before he hang up.
So that’s the plan. Capture as many of them as possible and interrogate them. If even one of them is someone’s familiar or someone’s tamed monster, then we can just kill them. It would be too late since they would have contacted their master about our location anyway.
But if they’re all wild monsters, we will try to recruit them. And the enemy is a Vampire King. Even if he has the same status as Arin, I’m sure that Arin is much stronger than him.
I guess it’s good then. Because Arin is also part succubus. She can just charm the Vampire King and all the male vampires. Then we can use them however we want.
"Arin, what do you think of charming a Vampire King and his subordinates?" I asked.
"You know that I don’t really like to rely on that anymore, right? But if it’s for something important like this, then I will do it. We’ll see if they work for someone or not," Arin said.
"Alright. When you’re ready, gather the other vampires and tell me when you’re about to leave. I won’t join you guys facing them. I’ll just watch from afar," I said.
"I’ll talk to them first then. If it doesn’t work, then I will charm them. We will go tomorrow after midnight," Arin said.
"Okay. Then I will go back to sleep," I said.
I guess I have found what I’m going to do next. Recruiting more vampires.
Now, let’s go back to sleep.
