Chapter 370: To the Monsters World to Train
"What!? You"re leaving already!?"
I was saying my farewell to the people I know that I"m going to leave for a while, or maybe a long time. It will be difficult for me to return immediately if there"s an emergency. That"s why I need to say good bye.
But that was me. I"m the one who asked if the other party is leaving already. Not that they are the one asking me.
"Yeah. We have enough resource and we need more experience for the newbies. Thanks to you, most of our troupe members are excellent people. They might be an agent, but they sure can perform well. I"m sorry to inform you about this when you really wanted to be our clown. But don"t worry. You can return anytime you want!" Thomas said.
That"s right. I"m talking with Thomas.
His circus troupe has been revived, with all new members. Most of them are agents who will travel with the circus.
Thomas just told me that his circus troupe will tour around the continent to the other kingdoms as well. I thought it would be a little further in the future, but I guess he was that capable in rebuilding the circus.
I really wanted to join the tour though…
"Well, it can"t be helped if you"re busy. Don"t worry. I"ll make sure that our audience will enjoy the show. Although our clowns are not as good as you alone, they are still capable of making people laugh," Thomas said.
"But I really wanted to join you…"
"Then you need to destroy the cult as fast as possible. Only then, you can freely do whatever you want without thinking of the consequences," Kayla said.
Kayla and the others were here as well. We are in a huge tent for the circus. They are cleaning up after their performance last night and will leave on a tour tomorrow.
"His majesty told me that as soon as I"m confident with our performers, I should take them on a world tour. The agents will be useful to spy other places while their main job will be to perform. Once we found something suspicious, we will tell his majesty about it, and his majesty will decide if we need to call you or not. I hope we don"t need your help so you can concentrate on getting stronger," Thomas said.
As a thanks for helping him reviving the troupe, Thomas and some other performers show us some performance that I never seen or did before. I applauded while still pouting because I can"t join them.
Let"s see… who is that that I missed? I have told Kron who is training somewhere, Oleg back in Melk, and even Hill. And then some other people I know. I guess next is people from other countries. Let"s start with Consenza since Celestine is still there.
As for Kayla and the others, they returned back to our home after watching the circus performance. Well, it"s not like I need to bring them with me to other countries.
When I meet Celestine, she was in the imperial castle with Lynn and Claudia. They are thinking carefully of anyone who are good enough to join the tournament. And Celestine will represent Consenza under different alias because we don"t want anyone to know that she"s the former leader of a faction in the cult.
…she just needs to hide her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and everything will be fine.
There are some capable people whom she has taught personally to get stronger. But I doubt I will get the chance to enjoy the match.
Next was Arturo. I said goodbye to Harold, Fabio, and those who are in Bernard"s mansion.
As for Francesco, he returns back to the city he"s in charge of with Carmen to protect him.
They have spared the fake Dominic"s life for a while and asked him about all the cult members in Francesco"s city. And Carmen are there to kill them.
As long as Carmen wasn"t surrounded, she should be fine. and in case anything happened, she can contact me before I left. I told Sonia to give her that message.
Lastly is Varadis. I choose this place last because I need to give old man my notes about future medical knowledge and so he can ask me about it before I leave. He was not as busy anymore since his children are now getting along, and none of them are thinking of joining the cult. At least that"s what he told me. I"ll just trust his decision.
I returned back to Tatrama, and this time I"m going to the capital. Veronica was still there, but since everything has calmed down, she wanted to return back to Ca.s.sau. As for Candy, she was still busy even though Wendy is here to help.
I went directly to Albert"s location and say that I"m leaving to the Monsters World.
"When will you be back?" Albert asked.
"Hopefully once I have my third monster," I said.
"I hope that"s the case. Please return before the tournament began. We will delay the tournament as much as possible," Albert said.
Now it"s time to go back to Ca.s.sau and play with Daniel until he"s satisfied. I brought Lana from the capital as well since she"s still a secret and Marie will be busier.
"Spot, are you coming with me to the Monsters World?" I asked Spot as I enjoyed the night view on his back. The kids enjoyed the sight as well, but they went to sleep soon after.
"I"ll go. It"s been a long time since I was there," he said.
"Then, I guess it will be the four of us. You, Victoria, me, and Sheila who is already there. The four of us will fight a lot of monsters. Prepare yourself."
"I am always ready to fight. When will we leave?" Spot asked.
"In two days. Tomorrow will be a rest day," I said.
"Then I"ll go to my children tomorrow to tell them I"m leaving," Spot said.
We returned back to our home and carried the kids to their room. Shirley and Angela are still here.
"I"ll take you back to the capital tomorrow," I said to Shirley.
"Okay," Shirley replied simply.
I went to sleep, and the next day, I tried to rest but Daniel asked me to play with him. I guess when you have kids, you will never really get a rest day.
I transported Shirley and Angela to the capital before going to bed. And the next day, as soon as we finished our breakfast, I went to the Monsters World. Directly to the Werewolf Settlement.
We have tried to get Sonia come to this world with the help of Lina, and it was possible to shorten the time for her to get here. Though she will need my help to return back to our world quickly as well.
"Roy, where are we going?" Spot asked excitedly as he"s looking at his home world.
"We won"t ride you. We will go on foot without any real destination. Our goal is to fight strong monsters so we can get stronger. You can go back to your home if you miss your family, Spot," I said.
"I won"t. And I don"t even remember where they are. This place is somewhere I have never been to," Spot said.
"Well, if you see something familiar, you can tell me. Let"s go!"
The four of us, run toward a forest next to the settlement.
There are many monsters there, but Shelia and I can defeat them easily.
"Oh, Shelia, you"ve grown stronger and faster now!" I praised Shelia.
"Thank you! When you didn"t need me in your world, I spent my time hunting strong monster," Shelia said.
"Sorry. The monsters in our world is much weaker, so if I want you to get stronger, you can only fight the monsters here. And you can tell me if you want to visit our world. I"ll summon you even if you only want to play with the others," I said.
So far, the monsters we encountered are not strong enough for us to struggle. I need even stronger opponents to grow.
I think I"m a bit different to other summoners like Lina. She could easily increase her level just by letting Sunny keep defeating monsters. But for me, back then, I need to defeat a Giant Salamander to increase my level. Other than the number of monsters I needed to have Victoria and Shelia defeat, I also need to defeat a really powerful monster as well.
"This place is not good! Let"s go deeper to the forest!" I shouted.
"Okay!"
It was just me, with a Serpent around my waist, and Victosword on my hand, running alongside Shelia who transformed into a Werewolf, running deep into the forest in search of strong monsters.
We are running side by side in search of a powerful monsters. And when we found one that looks like strong, we decide who will fight it and who will clear the monsters nearby while the other is fighting it.
…I don"t think it"s enough for me to grow stronger. I need to find even stronger monsters. Where should I go now?
