Chapter 23: The Bearer of Bad News

Tesla walked in the darkness of the night, he didn't even know it was midnight.

"Your Majesty, you'd better get dressed first"

"Not necessary"

This is how his attitude does not change even though he has moved to another world.While on earth he often ignores things around him that are considered unimportant, he said, he is also stubborn and very firm on his decisions.

"Oh..."

Tesla saw a werewolf woman being carried by the guard knights for disturbing the public's calm, in fact he could not distinguish which one was brother (Ra) and which sister (Ri)

"What's going on here!"

The knights were surprised and immediately saluted His Majesty.

"Your Highness.this demi-human woman is shouting with all her might to call you, we'll be right on the look-out"

"No, let her go and bring her to my room"

Tesla walked back to the library, Ri who was no longer strong yelling finally brought into his room, he was not even strong to stand and walk, the knights took him slowly to the room

...

"So.. What's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty..."

Ri heard Tesla's voice but there was no time left to speak, she also felt pain due to her sprained leg, slowly dimmed her gaze and she fainted before Tesla in the library room.

"Oi..."

"What's going on here?, judging from his physical condition it seems like he just fought with someone, huh, just now I felt a sense of pleasure and suddenly there was a problem like this!"

Tesla stood up and summed up the books scattered on the floor, as if he was saddened to have not gotten the information he wanted.

"After many books I read, it only tells the hypothesis and opinions of useless fools! their grammar is so bad, the writing is like their own personal feelings!, this may be one of the reasons for the absence of technological advances in the world"

He spoke to himself in his heart with annoyance at the books he had read, he had even forgotten that there was someone in the room.

"The Mu-lia"

Tesla turned his head without responding, he just remembered Ri was there, his mind was only focused on the important things, in other words he did not care about the arrival of Ri who came with a sad state

"Oh, are you awake..."

He approached and immediately sat down near her

"That Mu-lia, my brother was kidnapped by Mr. Patron"

After saying that Ri fainted again because he still did not have enough energy to wake up, his body lacked energy, it is certain He will not be able to wake up for several hours because his body is filling the power.

"Patrons?! so you're Ri Ra's sister, your brother was kidnapped by her. Wait! why would he do that?"

Tesla stood up and walked out of the library to his personal bodyguard Kant

"Can you call a doctor or maybe buy medicine for that woman?"

Kant bowed in respect

"Your Majesty I don't understand by what you mean.if the medicine may be we can get it if it is His Majesty's will"

"It turns out in this world there are no doctors, no. Maybe the name is different"

"Bring the man who can check the woman's condition and buy medicine for her"

"Good"

...

Kant immediately went to look for a tomb guardian and bought several bottles of high-level healing potions.

"Excuse me"

He went into the tomb and there were only a few people praying, they spontaneously looked at Kant and stopped praying

"What is the Guardian of the tomb?"

"They've come home, but there's one who just left this place, maybe he's not far away" said one of the people praying

"Thank you very much..."

Immediately Kant searched around the tomb, he also asked the shops that were still open, until he saw someone wearing clothes like the Guardian of the tomb (wearing like a priest) was walking on the street alone.

"Excuse me"

Kant ran closer

The guardian of the tomb was wearing clear glasses, his face looked delighted when called by Kant, he smiled slightly then turned to see who was calling him.

"Yes I'm a grave guardian who is gifted in healing magic..."

"I asked for help! looks like you're the right guy"

Kant bowed his head, this must be done because if in the name of His Majesty then of course they will reject it raw unless asked carefully.

The guardian of the tomb is not bound by all government policies, they only carry out the task of making the servants able to worship the Demon King safely and freely.

"Bring me to His Majesty's place"

"Thank you very much..."

Kant took the guardian of the tomb to a quiet street and a different direction from His Majesty's place.

"Yes!"

Suddenly he pulled out his sword turned around and leaped back about to slash.

"What!"

The grave guard retreated

"Who are you!"

"So you already know yes..."

"I didn't tell you about Your Majesty, how did you know! are you a spy!"

"Hehehe's right I'm a spy!"

"What! why are you confessing so easily!?"

"Because it's been discovered I'll retire first"

"Damn it! don't run!"

The guardian of the tomb immediately left Kant so quickly that he did not even see any more traces of him

"How is this, it feels dangerous if I ask a stranger for help again, they could all be spies"

...

Kant went to a still-open store, a nightlife filled with drunken men and women of the night, and, he went in and bought a drink then sat down near the female bartender who was only wearing black underwear

"Excuse me, miss.Do you know any drug stores around here?"

The woman suddenly approached Kant because she was interested in his question

"It's closed all... But I have some potions if you want..."

"Sell me that potion!"

"It looks like this man is in desperate need of this potion... Hehehe this is a good opportunity, if I sell at too high a price, it seems like he can't afford to buy"

Kant actually intended to reduce the amount of money he brought, because usually the drug store will not have a change if the value of one piece of brass gold

"But it's not cheap" said the Bartender with an understated smile, he was sure Kant would not be able to afford it

"Just give it to me, I'll pay you dearly!"

The bartender took out 2 light blue bottles in his pocket.

"This is a high-level potion, it might cost 10 silver but for you I sell 20 silver per bottle..."

"Hows it? I'm sure you won't have this much money!"

Suddenly Kant took the 2 bottles and left the brass gold coins on the table

"Take it back!"

The bartender was surprised to see the brass gold coins on the table, and he immediately picked them up and put them in his pocket so that others would not see them

"That guy... It seems we have a new target" he smiled slightly

Kant immediately headed to the library, at least he found a potion, if he did not bring anything where he might dare to return.

...

"Your Majesty"

"What's this?"

"It was his noble medicine, a high-level potion"

"Potions?"

"Can this potion heal all diseases and wounds like in fantasy novels?, this is interesting..."

"Give her one bottle for the rest of her leave it to me"

"Good"

Kant approached Ri and gave a potion slowly to him, slowly the scars and his sprained leg began to heal, Tesla was only pensive to see the reaction of the potion

"This world is truly a fantasy world!!, where the logic is!"

Ri who was half-conscious could not be fully healthy yet, because the potion only healed diseases and injuries instead of recovering her magic energy, even though she was only exhausted because her energy was left a little

"Your Majesty!"

"What's wrong?"

"Ri has not regained consciousness after being given this high-level potion!"

"Eh? isn't that natural?"

"No! it is not natural at all, the potion is a high-level potion should Ri instantly recover after drinking it"

"Maybe he's exhausted?"

"I also thought so, maybe his magic energy was absorbed by something..."

"Is there anything that can absorb energy?! what do you mean it?"

...

It seemed that Tesla was curious about what his personal bodyguard said, he had no idea that anything could absorb magic energy when in the laws of physics it was impossible, energy is equal to mass at times the speed of light of power two (E\=MxC²)

If anyone can absorb energy, they can either absorb things or they can bend space and time; for example, black holes

...

"The magic energy is like His Majesty's water, it's just that if the water always moves to a lower place, the magic energy always moves upwards"

"How to distinguish high and low magic energy?"

"Typically higher energy will be darker than others, and if the energy is brighter it means that it contains a lot of life energy"

"Life energy?"

"Holy demons have white magic energy which means that their magic energy contains so much life energy"

"So that's the reason why they can call an army..."

"really"

"So how did Ri get absorbed in her energy?"

"If there was a slightly higher magic energy nearby and he got too close then naturally his magic energy would be absorbed"

"So yeah, let's prove what you said!"

...

Tesla and his bodyguard headed to the Capital gate immediately, he had now been wearing his red noble clothes.

"Where is the horse that brought the woman?"

The guard knights kowtowed respectfully, one of them spoke

"There is a noble one, but the horse seems to be exposed to psychological effects, and the magic energy that is around it is quite high, please be careful Your Majesty"

Tesla approached the horse appointed by the knight, strangely the horse was silent as if waiting to be ridden.

He slowly approached, in fact, in his old world whose name natural animals or plants were so difficult to find, so it could be said that Tesla was only afraid of approaching natural animals, he said, because all his life he's only seen it hologram

"Your Majesty, are your footsteps slowing down?"

"There's nothing"

"Relax me!, this is just an animal not a beast, but still touching it takes courage"

With Tesla slowly touching the horse with his right hand, and suddenly the magic energy from the psychological effect was absorbed quickly, the horse suddenly went wild but remained around the gate.

Spontaneously Tesla retreated like a man preparing to receive an attack

"Your Majesty??" Kant was amazed by his master's attitude

"Mmm it looks like someone is giving the horse a psychological effect and the energy is so high that it can absorb Ri energy" Tesla tried to shift the topic so that his fear was not caught

"It seems so, but it seems that the energy of that psychological effect is far below your energy Your Majesty"

Kant and the knights prostrated to praise Tesla

"Life Your Majesty, what a great magic energy you have"

"Ehem, all right I'm going back to the library"

Tesla did not know what to do when people praised him, he almost never got it, everyone just mocked and booed his words, Kant followed him from behind, he said, and he slightly smiled looking at His Majesty's demeanor when praised by his people.

...

Ri wakes up in a luxurious inn, the first thing he hears is Tesla's debate with his wife.

"Darling! why are you taking this woman to the room again? I thought it was just the two of us here!"

Tesla took his wife and Ri to a nearby inn, as he also could not bear to see Renner sleeping on the floor, yes, even though it feels too late because when he was transferred to the inn, his wife even woke up and saw Ri.

"Calm down Ak-"

"What a Calm Thing! I thought you liked those two girls!"

"No!"

"Don't lie!, do you like wolf-eared women?"

"No I'm not-y-"

"Darling!"

Suddenly Renner hugged her husband, initially ordinary but slowly his embrace tightened to make Tesla unable to breathe

"Le-pick Ak-u your chest so I can't breathe"

His wife let go of a hug and then pulled him to the bed, Tesla's hand accidentally touched his chest.

Tesla saw his wife who was so passionate, even he could feel her body temperature because of her hand on his chest.His heart rate was getting faster and it felt very hot.

"Indeed the softness is different than silicone but!"

Tesla saw his trembling wife, he could not bear it.

Suddenly the sound of footsteps is heard by the two of them, Ri tries to come out secretly because she does not want to disturb.

Spontaneous Tesla turned his head but his position did not change as if he was not ashamed to be seen as such, but it was natural for a Scientist whose life was dedicated to science.

His wife who took off his hand, but Tesla retaliated by pulling it, finally they both can calm down.Renner was in the lap of her husband, sometimes Tesla hugged her suddenly.

"Where are you Ri, come here and tell me what happened..."

"But... Am I not interrupting?"

"Not at all, sit down"

Ri sat down before them and began to tell him the circumstances, Tesla once held his wife's chest so that she was distracted and did not hear what Ri said.And it's true that Renner heard nothing.

"Your Majesty! please save my brother!"

"What is it-"

Suddenly Kant opened the door and immediately prostrated

"Your Majesty I'm sorry that I'm out"

"Just get to the point!"

"There was a driverless horse carriage carrying Mr. Philip, several times he called His Majesty before passing out"

"Philipp! what happened to her?"

"His face may no longer look like that of Mr. Philip but the clothes he wears show that he is Mr. Philip, his condition is so terrible that there are so many wounds on his body"

"What's really going on, one unfinished problem there's a new problem!"

Suddenly Ri came out of the inn, she was crying while running towards the carriage that was at the gate of the Capital

"Master Philip!"

How's the next story?
