The Greatest Assassin Trapped In The Novel World As An Antagonist
213.The Apology Gift

The number of people lining up to enter the portal slowly reduced from hundreds to tens. The remaining people are the ones who carry a lot of luggage so put the rear row.

They brought goods such as food supplies, forging tools, weapons and much more. It was all put on a horse carriage pulled by a horse totaling four or six.

"Hmmm.... Where, Mister? I was too focused on setting the queue until I didn't realize she was gone."Ulbert looked at the crowd of people waiting in line. It seems that the density of those who carry horse carriages, if not for that which regulates the flow of the queue is definitely a traffic jam now.

"Master, have business so he left without telling us. Well that's it."Vlad pointed to Ares, who was followed by several people. Ulbert followed Vlad's direction and found his master walking in front of Amelia and the elders.

They approached Ares swiftly. Seeing his two subordinates coming towards him Ares simply smiled to welcome the arrival of the two of them.

"How's everything? Is it as smooth as expected?."

"Yes, Sir! There are no obstacles at all in the movement of the residents, now only people who carry a lot of luggage are left."

Ares smiled and nodded in satisfaction"Good, that's good. Just continue as usual. Ah by the way where, Damon? I need him to talk about a few things."Ares said while looking for the existence of Damon around him.

"Are you looking for me, sir?."Damon suddenly appeared right next to him without everyone noticing.

Ares smiled at Damon's sharp ability. Ares alone could not feel the air of existence earlier, no matter how strong he might be in the future.

"Yes I need you to take care of some things, follow me."Ares takes him to a place a little further away, then explains the situation briefly to Damon.

Damon seemed to be thinking as he rubbed his chin, before nodding his head to speak"Well this is just a small thing, you can leave it to me."Damon said with complete confidence.

"Then I trust him to you."Ares holds Damon's shoulder with a smile, then leaves from there while Damon takes care of everything.

After several hours had passed everyone had entered the portal including all the luggage that had been pulled by the horse carriage before, now only Ares and Damon were there to say goodbye to the Royal Council.

For Vlad and Ulbert they went first because they were ordered by Ares, because after all Ares needed people to explain everything.

There were two Dwarves who were both Forgemasters and Great Commander in charge of escorting them.

"We don't stop to thank you for helping us so far. I hope our relationship will never be severed."Said the Forgemaster while shaking hands with Ares.

"Yes, I hope so too. And I also thank you for granting such a troublesome request."

"It's okay, Mr. Ares. Your services are huge in this kingdom, granting one request you won't change anything. Although it's only temporary anyway hahahhahaah....."

Ares and the Forgemaster and Great Commander laughed. Two were sincere laughter while one was contrived laughter.

"Then I resigned. Because after this I'll have a lot of work."

"Ah yes then please, but please stop by here occasionally. We will always welcome you with open arms."

"Well, I'll see you again."

After paying their respects Ares and Damon left from where they had stood before, without looking back.

The Great Commander and the Forgemaster stared at the back of their kingdom's national hero figure who was slowly disappearing from their sight.

After entering the portal the two went from there to the royal palace. Because after this the kingdom of Erde's will make reforms in the system of government of their country.

Surely this will not go smoothly but they are sure they can definitely achieve it. Because this land has been entrusted to them for their care.

*************************************

"Damon, you go first. I have business to take care of now."Ares said suddenly which made their steps stop.

Although Damon had many questions in his heart, but he preferred to be quiet and do as Ares commanded. Since he knew that each step of his Master must have many plans, blocking his steps would be as much as blocking his grand plan.

"Good, Sir. You can trust me with everything."Damon said with great respect.

"Then I'll see you again."Using his Perfect Stealth skill, Ares went again into the portal that was still connected at that time.

After that the portal was closed and now Ares has to travel alone. But it's not important now because he has important business at the moment.

After obtaining a safe place, he then took out the black box that King Fritz had given him earlier. The black box was still the same as before, giving off a viscous energy that could be felt even though it was tightly sealed.

Long Yuan who was interested in the contents of the black box came out from inside Andromeda and followed closely.

"Hey boy, what do you think this box is?."

"I don't know, I don't know, but this must be a valuable item until it emits this thick beam of energy."

Long Yuan nodded in agreement, it was definitely the contents of the dicakam black box that were precious items otherwise it would be impossible to expel condensed energy like this.

"alright... Let's see what's inside."Ares pulled the lid off the black box. A few seconds after he opened the black box, a fragrant stew pierced their smell.

The fragrance that the object released inside the black box left the two unfocused for a while in awe of its fragrant smell.

Ares inhaled the fragrant scent that was still in the air into his nose"Aahhhh.... It smells like something really sweet...."Ares said softly, Long Yuan also looked so.

After enjoying the smell of the object in the black box, they saw what was inside the black box.

Their eyes are perfectly rounded and their mouths form the letter O. A look of shock that looked greatly exaggerated was engraved on the faces of the two.

It was a golden pill with dragon and star patterns that enveloped all corners. The pill gave off an extremely fragrant fragrance by emitting such a thick energy. Looking at it from the looks of it, they already knew what this was.

"Son... You know what this is, don't you?."Long Yuan asked stammeredly, Ares nodded slowly with a trembling body. He could not control his own body when he saw the pill inside the black box.

"It's the Nine Star Dragon Pill!!."

The Nine Star Dragon Pill was a resource that became a legend because of its efficacy. So sought after this pill even this pill to ever make some countries fight just to get it.

This pill has the property of being able to heal all kinds of wounds and diseases, delay aging and rejuvenate the body of its users, increase the age of a person, increase the quality of bones, improve the quality of blood, remove all impurities in the body, sharpen eyesight to a certain point and most importantly can make a person get 6~8 Star Circle depending on the talent of the person wearing it. With this much efficacy is not surprising that many countries are fighting over it.

And now the object that became the seizure of many countries is in his hands. What an unbelievable thing!!

"Son! You better save this pill first and then you use it later, because I'm afraid that the smell of the pill will attract the attention of many monsters?."

Ares agreed with Long Yuan's words and immediately stored the pill in his storage box. After that he noticed the velvet cloth that became the pillbed.

"I knew you'd hide here."Ares pulled the velvet cloth and sure enough, a letter and a key were on the bottom.

"Wish letter, huh? Why did the old man give you this letter?."

"Once but I'd better read it first."Ares shrugged his shoulders and read the letter along with Long Yuan.

Ares and Long Yuan could only sigh and shake their heads reading the contents of the letter the Fritz King left behind.

The contents of this letter are entirely filled with words of regret and apology addressed to the Hobbits. At the end it says 'I hope this lightens your load a little bit' Followed by the arrow that points behind the paper.

"Map?."Long Yuan frowned finding that there was a map behind all those regrettable writings. Ares himself did not expect that there would be a map behind it, because he thought that it would soon burn this letter to ashes.

Ares smiled at the map in his hand"This map must have led us to a secret place, a place where he hid all the runecraft knowledge that was lost a long time ago."What Ares said was already a certainty.

Long Yuan also seemed to agree with that. The two of them then walked according to the map directions in Ares' hands. Along the way they always encountered various kinds of deadly traps.

But it was useless in front of Ares who could pass through and avoid it all easily. After a few hours they reached the end, where everything was hidden by King Fritz.

"Are you sure this is the place? There's only a dead end here and behind it there's nothing but solid rock, aren't you misreading the route?."Long Yuan was less sure of the route Ares was using, it was because in front of them there was only a dead end and no other way ahead of them.

After that he floated away looking at the map with focus and concentration. He didn't seem to want to be disturbed by anyone.

"whatever! I'd better look for a clue here, there's got to be something here that activates a mechanism. Otherwise, there's no way that map could lead me here."Said Ares while grunting annoyed and began to look for corners of the dead end.

"Hmmm... Here here and here, and there."

After several times touching the rocks that were there, a stone door was formed in the dead end. In the stone door there is a keyhole whose pattern is the same as the key pattern that Ares holds.

While Ares could only gap wide watching the miracle Long Yuan performed, Long Yuan just smiled proudly as he folded his hands.

"Wait for what else? Enter the key you're holding right now, we don't have much time right now."

"Oh yeah."Aware of his daydream Ares immediately entered the key to where it should be.

After the sound of the 'Square' the door slowly opens and shows something that makes anyone who sees it will gap wide.

Piles of ancient archives with weapons and armor neatly arranged next to them. Even more surprising was that the number was all over thousands, perhaps even breaking through the tens of thousands if it had been calculated entirely.

"uh? Hey kid did you bring enough spatial and dimensional pocket rings? Looks like we're gonna wear it all now?."

****************************************

"Crazy! How many weapons and ancient archives did he accumulate here? The entire spatial ring and dimensional pocket I had used up to hold it all!."Ares said with frustration and annoyance, annoyance can be understood because King Fritz is indeed outrageous in hoarding all this.

Storage box that has a capacity of 2,000 slots is not enough to accommodate all the archives and weapons stored there, even after using the entire spatial ring and dimensional pocket even though it is not enough. He was lucky to still have enough soulstone to upgrade his storage box capacity, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to carry all of this.

"But this was quite surprising, how long had he been hiding all of this until it became a pile like this?."

"Either but look at the number it must have been over a century."

"It makes sense."

If all of these items were stored for more than a century it would make more sense that they were so numerous. I don't know how much knowledge he took from the runesmiths.

"It's time to go back."After finishing packing all the things inside there Ares decided to go straight away. But he remembered having the need of being imprisoned underground in the royal palace.

*************************************

How long have I felt this suffering?

When will I die?

Why does this suffering never stop?

Why don't I just die?

Please I want to die!!

Kill me!! Please kill me!! I no longer feel this pain!!!

AAAAHHHHH.........

All of that is a common thing that prison guards have been listening to for some time. The prisoners inexplicably started to go crazy and hurt themselves, they did everything they could to commit suicide.

They always say 'Retach me from all suffering!!' and sort of. At first everyone was uncomfortable and worried but after a while they got used to all the noises.

"Their voices are much louder than before, huh? Are these signs of something happening?."

"Hooaaammmm-s.... I don't know if I don't know, just enjoy everything later they also diem themselves."

"You're right."The two of them laughed while enjoying the coffee held by their hands. They sipped their coffee and took a deep breath.

"When will all this noise end? I'm tired of hearing all this noise, until I can't sleep myself if I don't hear the noise."

"Hahahahaha....!!! You are so weird!! Ahhaha..."The two of them returned laughing like crazy, but their laughter disappeared along with the noise there.

"Why are they silent? Is something wrong?."One of the guards had a bad feeling, so he asked another friend to seek help while he would enter the prison cell room.

He carefully entered while tightly grasping the sword in his hand. The fear flowed in his body and made him very anxious, he was shocked not to play to see all the prison cells opened wide and all the prisoners there disappeared.

But when he looked the other way he choked on his breath and his body broke out in a cold sweat, he was deathly pale looking at the scene he had just seen.

It was the prisoners prostrating themselves to worship a man in black robes in the midst of the prisoners, the prisoners seemed to pray and felt grateful and happy to see the arrival of the black-robed man.

They unceasingly offered prayers and praise to the black-robed figure.

"Oh? Apparently there's one little mouse in here, kids can take care of that little mouse?."The black-robed figure directed a murderous lustful gaze towards him.

Not only the black-robed man but all the prisoners were now staring with murderous gazes. The murderous lust they directed at him became one and became something terrifying.

Cold sweat incessantly poured down his body, in front of all those eyes full of killing intent he could only fall silent.

"To-Please.... AAAAKHHHHH....!!!."

The sound of screams of pain and despair rang out as the door behind him closed. The prisoners were incessantly piercing and removing the body of the warden.

His limbs were cut off with organs scattered everywhere and red blood flooded the surrounding area, it was a terrifying sight and could make anyone vomit when they saw it.

"Your Majesty, we've done what you've commanded what with this we can come with you?."Ask one with a face full of happiness, they will do anything to be able to follow people in front of them. Because they knew the person in front of them was their new savior and god.

"Of course you can, why not?."

"Is that really so?."

"Yes, you can come with me as long as you obey all my wishes."

"Okay, Your Majesty! We will follow all your orders!! We will all be your loyal followers! We swear to death!."

"Haha.... I'm glad to hear that. Andromeda can you get them all into the Shadow World?."

"Yes, Sir. I can do it."

"Good! Then put them all there, then teach them some martial arts that I taught you. Don't forget to discipline them."

After he spoke like that their shadows suddenly moved swallowing a part of their bodies. They had panicked but after being given an explanation then they could calm down, even they looked impatient waiting to enter the shadow world.

"Dead you....!!!."Vikas entered suddenly and directly attacked him. But his battleaxe was easily held back by his two fingers, "I already have no need here, so goodbye?."He said with a smile before disappearing swallowed by the shadow along with the entire prisoner there.

Seeing that Vikas just fell silent and ordered all the prison guards to raise security to the highest level, while he was going after the black-robed man because he was sure the man had not gone far.

*******************************************

Above the emerald mountains sat Ares who looked at the sky before him, he smiled with satisfaction to feel all he wanted to have obtained.

"Now just stay home, I'm sure my father, grandfather and grandmother are waiting for me at the palace to give an explanation. Haha.... I can imagine the look on their faces later."Ares said then used a magic spell { Teleport } to switch places instantly.

"Now everything will go with alot."
