Chapter 204: Entering Monsters World
Two weeks has pa.s.sed since I returned from the capital. I think I"m ready to scout the Monsters World now.
I practiced a lot and I managed to have more steps for my Air Steps. Just like I thought, being able to take several steps for running and leaping are different. Now I can take seven steps mid-air, and when I leaped forward, I can roughly reach 1 km in distance. Much better than if I"m running.
My portal is very useful. I can go back and forth to the capital easily. Some Blobbies Albert sent has arrived to their destination, and I have greeted those in Melk and Mellian. As for other cities, I don"t know anyone there.
And when I travelled to Melk with portal, Ms. Wendy was just preparing to call Sonia to inform us about our graduation.
"Roy. You, Kayla, and Angela can visit the school anytime you want to receive your graduation degree. It took a while but you can finally graduate." Ms. Wendy said.
"What about Ms. Wendy? Are you going to continue being a teacher?"
I asked Ms. Wendy if she will stay as a teacher or not. With her strength and knowledge, she can choose any job she wants. Though I think she will stay as the kingdom"s secret agent while performing any kind of job.
"I will continue my teaching job. Although it won"t probably be in Melk. I have told Candy about this before that I wanted to be a teacher after everything is over. Though I doubt it will be over soon. So, I wanted to be a spy who play as a teacher. Or maybe professor if I"m to be a.s.signed to teach higher education. That"s why I"m curious about what Javier taught you. I"ll wait patiently for the training camp so quickly get a monster already."
That"s what Ms. Wendy told me when I visited her.
As for Oleg"s case:
"When the training camp is ready, contact me right away. I"ll bring several people I trust with me. And can I bring my wife as well?"
"Sure. The queen enjoys talking with other girls. And as a fellow wife, they have something in common." I replied.
"My wife is one month pregnant. She"s quite afraid of what to expect during pregnancy. Having other mothers with her would be great. She doesn"t have much friends in Melk."
"Really? Congrats on being a father!" I congratulated Oleg.
"Thanks. Is it okay to bring so many people?" Oleg asked.
"Don"t worry. Albert will be there to tell everyone to keep the training camp as secret. Those who lie will be killed. As for me, I"ll try to see if there are anyone with HGB in their mouth. No traitor will survive the training camp."
"…I"m having second thought of getting my wife there hearing you say killing so lightly."
That"s what happened when I visited Oleg.
As for Hill and Kron who is visiting Mellian:
"Training camp!? I"ll join!" Kron agreed to join right away.
"This portal is really useful. I"ll be sure to treat this Blobby as our child. You are free to visit whenever you want."
I got a chill hearing that from Hill.
"I"ll be sure to visit more often!" That"s what Victoria said.
As for me, "I won"t come back! We will only contact each other using Sonia! I"ll only open the portal when it"s important!"
And then I left quickly.
Then today, it"s finally the day when I will scout the Monsters World for a while. I"ll just go there for a few hours, then go back. I have no plan in looking for a monster to make a contract with today.
I have sent Victoria yesterday to find a safe location for me to enter. She told me to open up a portal 12 hour after I sent her. There might be difference in time between the two worlds, is what she said.
It will be the time soon for me to open the portal. I made sure that I filled my belly before I go and take some supply. I also left a Blobby in my room so I can open a portal there where I put all my belonging.
When summoners open up a portal to Monsters World, the location the portal will appear is random. Unless their contracted monster is there. If the contracted monster is in Monsters World, summoners can make a portal to where their monster is located. And it"s safer that way as well.
But when summoners open up a portal from that world to this world, they will automatically open a portal right to where they were before entered the portal. Unless they also have a contracted monster in this world as well.
I should be able to do it as long as Victoria can sense a connection to Blobby in my room. And even now, if I"m focusing my connection with Victoria, I can sense her even when she"s in different world. And for the last few hours, she doesn"t move from her spot. She must be in a safe place then.
Finally, it"s time. Since everyone is curious about the Monsters World and want to take a peek, I will open the portal in the first floor instead of my own room.
Everyone already waiting for me to open a portal. Now that I"m ready, complete with my new armguards and shin guards, I opened a portal in front of everyone.
The oval shaped portal appears in front of me. I can alter how big the portal will be, but since it consumes more mana and I will be the only one entering it, the portal is just big enough for me alone to enter.
When everyone saw the Monsters World, everyone is silent because there"s one thing come to mind after seeing what"s in front of us. And Angela is the one who breaks the silence.
"That… is that a dragon"s corpse?"
"Yes. Though it"s just a skeleton now."
The one who answered is Victoria from the other side.
"What the h.e.l.l happened?" This time I"m the one asking Victoria.
"Who knows? But seeing skeleton of dragon or any other powerful monsters are common in this world. I choose this location because when we"re near the proximity of this skeleton, no weak monsters dare to go nearby, which makes this place safe." Victoria replied.
Well, I can"t just stand there and watch. I have to go before I"m out of mana. I need to save it so I can return home. Although I am bringing some Mana Potions, I can"t waste my mana just to watch a skeleton of a dragon.
"Well then, I"ll be going. Be back in few hours." I entered the portal and as soon as I"m in the Monsters World, I closed the portal.
I didn"t notice it before because the appearance of the dragon"s skeleton is too shocking, but it seems that it"s night at the moment in Monsters World. Just like Victoria said.
"Victoria, where should we go now?" I asked.
"Wherever you want. We"re just here to experience what this world is like, right? Just go anywhere you want and fight the monsters here."
"Then can you show me the way to where we could find Pear-y Fruit? Javier told you where it"s located, right?"
"I know where to go. Although Javier told me about where I could find them, I used to explore this area before you summoned me. I didn"t understand why I would go exploring, but now after hearing from Javier I understand that it was everyone"s idea to go exploring. And by everyone, I mean Javier, me, and other consciousness inside Blobby."
"How many consciousness were there?" I asked.
"I don"t know. I forget."
"I see. Don"t mind it."
"Of course I mind! Don"t you see that we are the perfect partner? A slime who loss her memory and a man wit terrible memory. We"re such a perfect couple!" Victoria said proudly.
"And you"re proud of that!?"
Even when she"s the closest person to me, I still have difficulty understanding her.
"Roy, the location of where we can find the Pear-y Fruit is over there. It"s quite far, so I suggest you to use your Air Steps." Victoria pointed her finger to where I can find the fruits, and then she transformed into a sword.
It"s not that I want to use sword, but sword is the most all-rounder weapon I can use. And I expect that we will encounter a lot of monsters here, so it"s a preparation for battle.
"I won"t use Air Steps for now. I"ll save my mana in case of emergency. For now, I can use my Divine Vision to see and evade monsters."
"Alright. Whatever you want."
I run to the direction Victoria pointed. Even with my Divine Vision, I can"t see the Pear-y Fruits yet. They must be quite far. Just like Victoria said.
But I still choose to run on land while evading monsters. Safety is always number one!
If they are monsters I see for the first time, I would change direction and evade them. But if they are monsters like wolves or goblins, I can defeat them easily. Although they are stronger than the same monsters in my world, they are still considered weak here.
I hope I can at least grab one fruit for Lina. Then I"ll help her looking for her second monster once she leveled up.
