The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Ch. 132 ~ Surprising

Night had passed into the morning, Ren who felt that he had enough rest had woken up from his sleep. When she opened her eyes, Ren was unaware of the existence of the people there because her gaze was fixed on the ceiling of the throne room.

But when the consciousness of the mind began to be restored, then Ren realized the existence of those who were asleep in their respective positions. None were absent, they were all in the throne room, sound asleep.

For a moment Ren's mind fell silent because this atmosphere was very unexpected, but he immediately started to think back and make a question in his heart.

"What are they doing here?"

Rusava and Raytsa were kneeling with their eyes closed, which meant that they were both asleep while kneeling without moving.

Moving to the left, Ren saw Kina sleeping on Rakuza's thigh leaning against the wall while asleep.

Ren then moved his eyes to the right where Arystina and Nirlayn were sleeping while leaning against each other.

Lastly, Ren's attention is drawn to the figures of Avrogan and Indacrus sleeping right in front of the door facing each other as if they were guard statues.

Seeing those who are sound asleep makes Ren feel unbearable, then he controls where so that the atmosphere feels suitable by regulating the air temperature so that they can sleep with a more comfortable atmosphere than now.

After that there was nothing that could be done except to wait for all of them to wake up and listen to their wishes one by one.

"Ah, after this I want to open up the treasure room to see what's inside."

Ren waited and continued to wait until the day did not feel back into the afternoon. He found out that the magic given had too much impact to make them fall asleep very soundly.

Although with a heavy heart, Ren had no other choice but to undo his magic that changed the atmosphere as before.

Time wasted forcing Ren to snap a finger and smooth the sound frequency and send out the smoothed frequency with the intention of waking them all up.

They opened their eyes in turns, and finally fell silent because they were surprised by the yellow sunlight that the day had entered the afternoon.

Ren himself was curious enough about what they wanted to say so that without wasting any more time, he asked, "What are your decisions?"

They turned their eyes to the figure of Ren who was above the throne. Realizing that they were in a less than appropriate position, they began to line up neatly and kneel beside Rusava and Raytsa.

When all was in the ready position, Ren pointed his index finger to point at Rakuza who was in the leftmost row.

"What's your decision, Rakuza?"

Rakuza raised her head, and expressed her decision honestly. "Sir, I will still follow you according to my previous promise." (Racuza)

Ren nods to Rakuza, because as it is known that Rakuza does have an appointment with him. Rakuza also came from the earth so he could not possibly dispute the truth.

After expressing the decision, Rakuza glanced at Kina who was certainly realized by Kina herself. Rakuza seemed to be insisting that Kina immediately say something, and Ren realized that.

"Eh? S-I'll also follow you, um ... Mister? Your Honor?" (China)

Ren was pensive and thought that he actually had no reason to appoint Kina as a subordinate, but since it was a decision that Kina made herself then she would not reject him.

Once again Ren nodded, and gave a little advice by saying, "Don't be too nervous, you can call me by any name as long as it doesn't insult me."

Ren's gaze now turned to Rusava who began to speak with his head lowered and stared at the floor.

"Yesterday I was a little disappointed, Your Majesty. But that disappointment was instantly gone when I remembered that you were the one who raised us both." (Generic)

"Yes, it's true that you used to be a human being. But right now, you are a Blood Devil who has given us another chance. If you believe in destiny, then I'm sure that your destiny is not that simple until it can be said to be a coincidence." (Raytsa)

At the words of the two of them, Ren's serious expression slightly loosened and went back to being ordinary. A long sigh could be heard as proof that he was relieved for a while.

However, there is one thing Ren needs to do to avoid future disasters, which is to ensure their decision once again.

"Rusava, Raytsa ...."

Ren called the two of them and continued his words.

"Are you talking like this because of a contract bound between me and you? If that's the case, you better be honest and I'll release the contract."

Rusava and Raytsa stared haru at Ren, then they both shook their heads in earnest.

"No, no, no, this is indeed the decision of both of us, Your Majesty," Rusava said firmly.

"Don't underestimate my loyalty, Your Majesty. I'm just following people who deserve to be followed." (Raytsa)

"Well, all right."

After all, Ren was quite surprised when the two of them forgave his lies quite easily. It was quite strange because Ren's lie was quite severe and difficult to forgive. However since this was a satisfactory result, Ren would accept it with great pleasure.

Ren then rushed over to turn his attention to the remaining subordinates. This he did so that the relief and pleasure that is now felt does not leak anywhere.

And there came a time when Ren had to ask the one last person he was worried about would be very disappointed.

"Talk honestly, Arystina."

Arystina raised her head, unexpectedly smiling calmly as if being happy by something.

"However the truth is, you will still be "Your Majesty" in my heart." (Arystina)

Hearing that, everyone including Ren himself stared in surprise at Arystina. Did anyone expect such words to come out of Arystina's mouth? There aren't.

"Ehm, it's not good to be too blatant, Arystina." Nirlayn whispered and stared at Arystina using the corner of her eyes.

The situation began to lead to a strange atmosphere and not wearing. To that end, Ren decided to immediately resume the initial topic where he would ask the three remaining people.

"Nirlayn?"

The one who had known all of this first, and the one who was the first to become Ren's subordinate, was Nirlayn. It is hard to say that Nirlayn will make a decision that is beyond expectations.

"No doubt about it, Ren-sama. I'll act as usual, and try to be useful to you."

Ren's response was quite ordinary with his cold and calm expression. Maybe this looks like differentiating in terms of treatment but it's not actually the case.

Ren had expected with a 90% chance that Nirlayn would still follow him. Many reasons support this possibility but it would be too long if explained.

The sun began to change color again, from the initially yellow sign of the afternoon to reddish yellow sign of the day going into the night. That was a good reason for Ren not to waste any more time.

"What about you, Avrogan? Indacrus?"

"Ah, as long as you're strong and not someone bad, we'll both keep following you because betrayal will make us die, right Indacrus?"(Avrogan)

"Talk as if you don't want to serve the Master any longer. But well, it's true we'll both still serve you, sir."

Hearing their words one by one made Ren's heart filled with the joy and serenity he had hoped for. With this, Ren did not have to lose such valuable subordinates like all of them.

Unknowingly, Ren rested his head on the throne and covered part of his head with his palm. Then, Ren began to laugh freely as if all the weight was lifted off his shoulders.

"Hahaha, thank you."

Did Ren ever thank you? He himself does not remember. One thing is certain that this pure gratitude arises from the depths of his heart without the slightest lie.

"Do you want anything?"

Ren promised in his heart, as long as he was able, and they asked for something that did not harm, then whatever it was would be given by him.

But it seems that Ren's words are not conveyed well. This is evidenced by their attitude that looks a little confused and silent noiseless, except for one person who immediately understands his words.

"If it may be Your Highness, I would like to take the research of magic more seriously. I will constantly develop the magic of your creation in the hope that someday I can achieve my greatest hope."

Raytsa has developed Ren's Message Magic very well. He researched and created a new effect where Message Magic was able to store voice commands so that they could then be relayed to the recipient.

With this new effect, sending a message and a command will become easier for the recipient to understand.

There are no losses, but there are many benefits. Who would refuse a request that benefits both sides of this kind?

"At the back of the palace, there was a room that was still empty and unused. Its entire walls and floors were made of quality materials that would not be destroyed by high-level magic attacks. You can wear it to do research."

One unused room will make a variety of profitable new breakthroughs. Ren really would not feel regretful about his decision.

"Understanding, I am truly grateful, Your Majesty."

Raytsa felt very happy, but the happiness was not displayed so as not to damage the atmosphere around him. Unlike the others who were unaware of Raytsa's happiness, Rusava had known about it and smiled at Raytsa.

"Then, who else?"

This time there was Rakuza who raised a hand to say a wish. "Master, I asked for permission to build a dwelling outside this palace for Kina to live in. I also hope that you don't order Kina to carry out dangerous missions in the future, and let me bear that."

Rakuza's request attracted Ren to smile faintly at her. After all, Ren had already regarded Rakuza as someone who was under his care so that at the time when Rakuza was happy, he himself was happy.

"Why don't you two just get married?"

"A-ap ...?!"

Kina instantly fainted with a reddened face, while Rakuza was silent with an even redder face. Rakuza did not speak out of embarrassment, and Ren considered that it was an agreement.

Ren was quite happy to have teased the two of them. He almost let out a laugh when he saw Kina faint and Rakuza put out such a unique expression.

But then again, Ren did not need to waste any longer. Once again, Ren said to insist that they all issue a request to him.

"Who else? Say, no need to hold back."

Rusava with bowed eyes and a raised hand slowly began to say, "I, Your Majesty."

"What desire? I'll fulfill it as long as I can."

"Practice .. I want to practice with you."

Practicing?

Not only Ren, but other people thought Rusava's request was too trivial and strange. On the contrary, Rusava considered this demand to be very valuable.

"It's very simple, but I'll fulfill it. Sometimes I do need to train myself, and lucky from now on I have you to be your opponent."

Ren who said it with a scary smile made everyone except Rusava creep in fear. How not, they were already able to imagine how terrifying the match training Ren had talked about.

"No need to hold back in your request. How about once a day if it's free?"

Rusava sumringah agreed. "Again, Your Grace."

"What's with these two people who look so eager to fight?" That's what everyone thinks without exception.

Knowing that an agreement has been reached, and the sun is setting, Ren intends to put an end to all of this by listening to all four requests at once.

"Nirlayn, Arystina, Avrogan, and Indacrus, say your wishes in turn."

Nirlayn moved forward a bit with the goal of making it easier for Ren to understand what he currently wanted. After doing a moment of contemplation, Nirlayn then made his Blood Sword which imitated the sword Ren had given him first.

"Ren-sama, I'm really sorry. Regret not being able to protect you in the front row. In reality, I've always been and can only see you from behind without doing anything."

Nirlayn rubbed the blade of the Blood Sword with slightly teary eyes. The sad feeling he felt was the impact of the thing he wanted.

Ren looked at it in wonder as well as bewilderment, why was Nirlayn sad? Didn't he never once protest against Nirlayn for just looking from behind?

"What's the matter Nirlayn, are you bothered by something?"

"Yes, I feel disturbed and try to eliminate the cause, Ren-sama."

"cause? Who makes you feel disturbed? Let me handle ..."

"It's not like that, Ren-sama. I'm just thinking that ... Instead of protecting you from the front that can't be done, I'd better support you from the back that feels more doable."

Ren's brain is slightly made to spin by Nirlayn's words that are less clear to him. Yet it was all revealed blatantly by Nirlayn in front of everyone.

Nirlayn slowly cracked the Blood Sword that he held, and then created a weapon that specialized remotely, the Bow.

"I am troubled by uselessness, so from now on I will completely change my fighting style by using this weapon, Ren-sama."

Nirlayn raised the simple bow he made by carrying a gaze full of determination and confidence. Although he actually knew, changing weapons meant that he had to start everything from scratch.

"Nirlayn, are you sure about that?" asked Ren to convince.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, and this is the decision I made."

"Hit ..."Ren took a deep breath. "Well, but it's not a request I want. Tell me your request, and it can't be denied."

"Uh." Nirlayn was stunned for a moment because she did not think she would still be asked to express her wish again. "Then I would like to be shown a quality bow to imitate later, Ren-sama."

"You don't have to wait until later" Ren said in his mind.

As long as Ren was able to fulfill it right then and there, then he would do without waiting for long. That was the promise he had just made in his heart.

Ren opens an inventory portal, where he tries to find all the quality bows and has a match with Nirlayn who is a woman.

After a few minutes, Ren finally found a bow that fits everything in Nirlayn. This bow had a nickname that the Dragon Race did not recommend hearing it.

If in the game, then the display of information briefly about the Bow given by Ren will be like this.

The unique thing is the presence of a piece of paper rolled up and attached to a given arc. Nirlayn was a little confused by the existence of this paper and tried to ask what it contained, but casually Ren said.

"Save it and read it later." Ren moved his eyes to lead to Avrogan and Indacrus. "What do you two want?"

"With all due respect, sir. I'd like to ask you to give blood blessing like Avrogan." (Indicrus)

"[Blood Servant], allow me to quickly build up this army, sir." (Avroganese)

A moment after hearing the request of the two, Ren stood up suddenly which astonished everyone. Ren then took a piece of white paper from the inventory and wrote something using mana on it.

"You all saw it?"

They nodded.

"From now on we will use papers bearing my name and blood samples as a license to do something between all of us."

The first license held by Ren certainly contained the permission to Avrogan to recruit [Beast Servant] and create a [Blood Servant] team. There are also written conditions so that this permit is valid and not misused.

Although there were some who understood and some who did not, Ren diligently explained in detail and as easily as possible to understand. The explanation continued until when they were all asked if they really understood, and it was confirmed that they had nodded in understanding.

But once Ren wanted to give the letter to Avrogan, he immediately fell silent while a little confused.

"How should I give you this letter?" asked Ren while thinking right in front of Avrogan.

"I can carry it in my mouth, sir." Avrogan eagerly opened his mouth filled with disgusting saliva.

"Don't you fool, where could this kind of important letter be exposed to that saliva?" Ren then thought and thought to find a good solution.

Until then, Ren recalled that almost any problem could be solved using mana. Therefore, Ren took the initiative to train Avrogan to use the mana well.

"Raytsa, come here."

Raytsa approached without making Ren wait. The [Blood Servant] license was handed over to Raytsa.

"It looks like we have to make some kind of pouch to stick to your body, Avrogan. Then, you must learn to control where to reach the letter that will later be placed in the bag. Until then, I reluctantly declare that you cannot form the [Blood Servant] yet, and the letter itself will be held by Raytsa."

Ren's long explanation successfully made Avrogan glare with disappointment, and was able to make him scream in the heart. "Why is the world unfair to me!!!!"

Not caring about Avrogan's suffering because there was nothing that could be done, Ren turned to approach the figure of Indacrus. Standing in front of him, Ren bit his thumb and then dripped blood right above the head of the Indacrus.

Indacrus underwent the same changes as Avrogan, but he did not notice any strange events in his mind.

Ren felt that all requests had been received, so he walked back to them all to go to the door of the throne room. However when he wanted to say something, suddenly the figure of Arystina appeared in his mind.

"Eh, he hasn't asked for anything, has he?"

With sinful feelings, Ren immediately returns to meet and hear Arystina's wishes. However, it was too late because Arystina herself was sitting facing the wall in the corner of the room saying.

"I was forgotten, I was forgotten ...."

Ren immediately approached her and apologized for later asking what Arystina wanted. As is known, Arystina is very easy to forgive and without feeling offended at the slightest request.

"I want to ..."

That sounds more like a whisper than a word. Everyone was then curious about Arystina's request, but because Arystina herself asked Ren to keep it a secret, Ren closed his mouth tightly.

Ren walked slowly away from them. Waving her hand, Ren spoke out loud, "Get me in my room if you need anything. Oh right, it also happened after two hours had passed."
