The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 134: The Aroma of Chaos

7 Days have passed ....

Ren goes through everyday life in a way of resting. There were no meaningful conflicts during that time, there were only a few minor issues that were easy to deal with.

Various things have developed by themselves, such as Raytsa's magic research gradually progressing, then Nirlayn who trained hard so that currently able to do the shot well, and the process of building houses for Kanza and Kina has begun.

Although each of them had a little difficulty but with passion and perseverance all can be overcome well.

The development is not only happening around Ren alone, but out there has happened some interesting things. The condition of Kanza who is still fighting the rebels of the Kingdom of Efidoxia is one of them.

Kanza's struggle seemed to have a little difficulty because of the existence of Princess Efidoxia who limited the movement of Kanza and Leusgira. Therefore, Kanza and Leusgira could not arbitrarily attack the rebels in order to minimize the princess's suspicions.

But based on the information provided by Kanza, so far all are still safe and moving according to plan. A little problem is a natural thing because everything is not possible to run very smoothly.

Then one day ago, Ren received a letter sent through his delivery bird from the Kingdom of Aulzania. The letter contained King Aulzania's wish that Ren could meet him to discuss matters.

But due to an affair, Ren is unable to fulfill the call of King Aulzania. For the next day or two, Ren would be preoccupied with the move of the Spirits from the other part of the forest to the nearby Palace.

Previously, Ren and Arystina had visited the Shade of Spirits to talk about their transfer and let go of Arystina's longing. Just then, Arystina discovered something shocking when she wanted to release the Mana Core from the Shade of Spirits Tree.

Arystina suggests that she found some kind of factual account of the Shade of Spirits. The note told that the Mana Core of the [Shade of Spirits] had the same function as a seedling capable of growing [Shade of Spirits] elsewhere with the consequences of the [Shade of Spirits] existing will wither and die.

However as it has been known, the Mana Core of the [Shade of Spirits] absorbs mana from nature so it should be planted in a place rich in mana. Luckily this one problem can still be overcome in several ways, so planting [Shade of Spirits] in the Palace area is not impossible to do.

Only one major problem remains, which is how to safely move all Spirits. While the distance between the Palace and the [Shade of Spirits] was quite far. It was also impossible for Ren to transport one by one of them since it was quite troublesome.

"Move them one by one can be a last resort. Before that I have to think of another way first, it has to be safe and it doesn't take long."

Several ideas sprang up, including using the [Beast Servants] to carry all the Spirits, but this method was not completely safe and instead contained no small risk. A slight oversight error can be fatal for Spirits who are basically mostly unable to protect themselves.

It was in this kind of situation that Ren regretted himself who still did not understand how the concept of Teleportation Magic was.

"Hhhhh ...."

Ren leaned back on the garden chair to rest in thought. Sometimes as a person who is human, he can not handle problems, even though the problem is very simple.

While calming the mind, someone appeared from behind with a table trolley containing a pot and some pretty empty glasses.

"Your Majesty?"

The soft and melodious voice told Ren that the one who came was Arystina. Ren opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Arystina shook her head as she approached, then without speaking she prepared one glass of warm tea. The glass filled with warm tea then he handed it to Ren with a smile.

Coincidentally Ren was feeling the need for sugar intake at this time. After all, he would not refuse Arystina's gift, instead happily accepting it.

"Ah, thank you."

Ren himself was confused by the intention of Arystina's arrival. Did he really come over just to give her a glass of warm tea? Or have some other purpose?

"You look a little moody, is there a problem?"

Before replying to the question, Ren enjoyed the warm tea thoroughly first. Arystina was patiently waiting because she knew that Ren was enjoying his homemade tea.

"Is my face really moody?" asked Ren after drinking his tea.

"Yes, but maybe not moody but something similar to that, Your Majesty."

"really? I didn't feel my expression change at all. But you may be right Arystina, I'm actually thinking about how to move them all here safely but it doesn't take long."

"They? Do you mean my descendants?"

Ren turned his gaze to Arystina with a slight meddling of strange and astonished taste. "Homperage? So you call them that, huh?"

"W-why doesn't that fit?"

"No, no, it's just that I forgot that you have many descendants, hm." Ren smiled slightly then said, "let's leave that thing aside, about their transfer do you have a proposal or something?"

Arystina was stunned, this matter felt quite heavy to her. All the Spirits living within the Shade of Spirits had never roamed the outside world, hence Arystina had no idea what was best for them.

"Find something?"

With a heavy heart Arystina shook her head as a sign that she had not found any solution.

"There's no choice, then I'll find another way."

The warm tea left in the cup he held was then gulped until the last drop. The empty cup was then given to Arystina, while herself rethinking another way, hoping to find a good idea.

Ren is dissolved in the mind, while Arystina tries to find a way to help him even a little. Way after way has been thought out by taking into account all the possibilities that exist but all still do not meet the desired criteria.

"Anu, sorry to interrupt your thoughts, Your Majesty."

"What?"

"Maybe this is not a solution. I'm not sure if you've thought about it or not, but ... Your ability to imitate everything, can't it be used?"

"You mean 'Blood Art'? Yes, maybe it can be used but what do I have to make in order to bring them all? There's no way I'm not making some kind of pesa- ...."

Ren was silent for a moment before he felt jolted. The heart and mind that always thought of it were rendered useless when a question came up, why didn't he think of such a simple thing before?

"Your Majesty, is there a problem?" Arystina tilted her head then asked again, "Your Majesty?"

Feeling that Ren's attitude was so unusual made Arystina think that the cause of the attitude was her advice. "Maybe ... my advice is so useless?!"

Arystina's suspicions grew even more when Ren hinted himself to be quiet first. Although actually the thing that Ren had in mind did not match Arystina's suspicions.

"Y-Your Majesty?"

"I understand."

What does His Majesty mean by understanding? Arystina was confused because Ren suddenly said so.

"E-eh, what does that mean?"

"Thank you for your advice, now I've found a solution to bring them all here. Just prepare yourself, we'll leave this afternoon."

Hearing it makes Arystina happy because it turns out the advice given helps Ren in finding a solution to his problem. Yet Arystina was also surprised, would they really leave this afternoon? Isn't that too rushed?

"I'm grateful to be able to help, but is it right to leave this afternoon, Your Majesty?"

"Yes, because the faster the better. And you know that letter sent by the Kingdom of Aulzania?"

"The letter containing the call to His Majesty?"

"Right, I feel like they are dealing with something so important that there is no choice but to call me, or it could be directly related to me."

"Uhm, related to you?"

"That's how it is, now is not the time to explain. You better get ready to go, or you wanna wear clothes like that to meet your descendants?"

"Ah, no way! They would have wondered if I was wearing these clothes. I'll replace it soon, please wait, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, I'll tell the others about our departure, I'll wait at the main gate."

Arystina leaned over and quickly left the place while carrying her desk trolley back. While Ren stared at Arystina leaving until her figure completely disappeared into the Palace.

After that Ren went to meet Nirlayn and the others to say that he would go towards the Shade of Spirits right now. He will also say that his estimate of return is tomorrow.

..........

A super-large tree towering up into the sky, the Shade of Spirits. A giant shade for the Spirits living on the continent of the humans, and its very existence is very hidden.

A few of them -- the hidden Spirits - stood in front of the Shade of Spirits to see the approaching existence.

Not long after that, a red light flashed and disappeared. Disappearing was replaced by two figures who landed right in front of the spirits who were on standby. As soon as they saw the figure that came over was very familiar, they let down their vigilance and instead welcomed it.

"Queen Arystina!" yelled one of them.

"Welcome back!"

"Welcome back!" yell them simultaneously.

From the crowd of spirit yahg was on standby, Aurlin appeared who immediately smiled to Arystina and Ren.

"Miss Arystina, I didn't think you'd be back here so soon. What's the matter?"

Before replying to Aurlin's question, Arystina took a glance at Ren to see if he could talk honestly about moving them all. Ren gave a nod as confirmation.

"Yes, my little Aurlin. My arrival here wants to tell you to move all of us."

All the spirits present there including Aurlin slightly widened their eyes. The reason is, their move is not something small and easy to implement. Some of the spirits behind Aurlin started whispering to each other asking, is their Queen joking?

"You're serious, Miss? Isn't this a little too ...."

"Yes, I understand how you feel but .. uhm, we'd better talk about this inside."

Aurlin closed her eyes, then sighed and then spoke, "Alright, let's go in, Miss."

With a hand signal Aurlin ordered the other Spirits to open the path as well as the entrance gate into the Shade of Spirits. Aurlin also ordered that they stop being on standby and lower the protective intensity of the Shade of Spirits.

But just as they were all about to go inside, Ren suddenly stopped stepping which made Arystina and Aurlin come to a stop and look at him.

"Your Majesty?"

"I'm sorry, but I feel like you should all discuss that without me. All the things I planned were also already known to Arystina so you can ask her."

"Wait, why?"

"You know what, Arystina? The vehicle I was referring to took some research to make sure that it was safe. So as long as you guys discuss, I'll perfect it."

"No, your existence is much needed. How can we discuss without the most important person being you, Your Majesty?"

"Wrongly, your existence to convince them is all more important than me. But if anyone doubts me, they can come and ask me directly."

Arystina nodded lethargicly. He knew that what Ren said was indeed true, but his heart could not allow that. But what can be done, there is no compelling reason to oppose the decision Ren made.

Looking at Arystina who was a little lethargic, Aurlin felt pity as well as heartlessness. For that Aurlin thought of something for Ren to join the discussion even if it was only for a moment.

"Your Majesty, as an important guest it is not good for all of us to abandon you outside, especially if you have to work to perfect something you said before. For that, from the bottom of my heart, ask you to follow this discussion, even if only for a moment."

"I told you, I'd be poking ..." Ren's words came to a halt as he looked at Arystina with a pleading gaze. "Hahh, is my existence that important? Oh my goodness ...."

While slightly massaging Arystina's forehead for not being able to understand her feelings, Ren resigned himself and said, "Alright, I'll come along but just for a little while."

A smile returned on Arystina's face. After that, they entered the Shade of Spirits and began to discuss the transfer plan very seriously.

................

- City of Aulzania

The king of Aulzania, Esdagius Losgan Ri Aulzania, was worried in his workspace. King Esdagius' concern stems from the arrival of several emissaries from two different empires a few days ago.

"There has been no reply from Mr. Dirvaren. Really, I don't know what he has done until the two great empires suspect us at once. Did he really destroy the Sanctaral Holy Kingdom like they said?"

King Aulzania was a little worried but that worry he had to feel before certainty came. He himself did not believe that Ren destroyed a kingdom, even if it was true, there should be a strong reason behind it.
