The Queen of Death Return
Mysterious Village
Chapter 14: Seeking Help
It had been three days since the Rexist Kingdom was attacked. Everyone was still agitated because of the Dragon's threat. I don't know what to do, the King was very disappointed in me. Because of us, the Dragon got angry and attacked the Kingdom. Since that incident, I have not seen Yulia or Andrew, nor have they been at home. The last time we met was on our way back to the Rexist Kingdom. Lucas is currently in camp. The Royal Military, may be preparing for a second attack.
Do I have to accept the Dragon's offer? That sounded suspicious, why would he even do such a terrible thing like attacking the Rexist Kingdom? Does he want to test me?
"Huuuuh ...."
Whatever the reason, I will not use the strength of others to defeat the Demon King. I need to improve my skills!
Today, I will meet the King and Queen in person. They invited me. I've prepared myself to meet them. There will definitely be trouble there. Some Nobles looked at me cynically for supposedly bringing destruction to the Rexist Kingdom. Duke Aither still trusted me and did not look at me with such a gaze.
----------------------------
*Tok Tok Tok Tok
I knocked on the door of the room.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen,"
"Please sit down, Zain,"
He even said my name now.
"Have you thought about the Dragon's offer?" ask King.
He got straight to the main point, yeah.
"I must reject it, Your Majesty,"
"Oh, yeah,"
*Shelf!
Her Majesty the Queen hit the table very hard.
"Do you want this Kingdom destroyed?!" his gerrick.
It's only natural that the Queen is angry like that. I know it's selfish, but ....
"I know it's selfish, but is this your purpose for calling me into this world? Does the Hero have to use a power that does not belong to him to fight the Demon King? How could the previous Hero be balanced against the Demon King without the strength of someone else's?"
"That's because the previous Hero su-"
"Enough, Victoria!" The King snapped at the Queen.
"But I have to tell him,"
"Close your mouth! I won't let the Hero who is now trapped by that power,"
Strength?
"Tch. It's up to you, I'm gone!" The queen left us both.
"Victoria. Haha ... Zain, what's your plan? Do you want the Kingdom to fight the Dragon?"
"I'm not too sure, Your Majesty,"
"Our strongest magician was not even able to withstand that attack from the sky and was unconscious from running out of Mana,"
"I can't bring my Party, only Lucas is currently available, the whereabouts of the others are unknown,"
*creek
The door sounds open.
Two women entered the room.
They were the strongest Magic Caster in the Rexist Kingdom. First up is Miss Licia Corwell and second Miss Emina Corwell.
"Miss Licia, don't you have to rest?" ask King.
"I'm fine, King,"
"Why did you come here?"
"I want to talk to the Hero,"
Me?
"Hero, you refused the Dragon's offer, correct?" ask Miss Licia.
"That's right,"
"What makes you confident in rejecting his offer?"
Confident, yes ..it's true, I didn't think it got there.
"I'm only confident in my abilities,"
"You're lying" said Miss Emina.
"Eh?"
My body is being analyzed. Did he use a skill?
"You're lying, your answer is insincere from your heart,"
I don't understand what that means. It turns out that he has a unique skill.
"Huh .. I don't know about that either, it's true, I'm not entirely sure of my words before,"
"Is there someone who comes to your mind?"
"G ...."
I immediately remembered someone.
This feeling? Why am I so happy?
"You remember something?" ask Miss Licia.
"Miss Hart ...."
"Huh?" The two Magicians were confused at my answer.
"What do you mean Duke Hart of the Empire?" ask King.
"No, there's an A-rank adventurer named Alissa Hart,"
The three people were shocked to hear my words.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
"Did I not hear wrong? Why not a Hart Rank S Adventurer? And, who is this rank A? Is he new?" ask Miss Licia.
He asked so many questions! I can't believe Miss Licia is acting like this.
The king raised his hand. "Zain, how strong is he?"
"He's very strong,"
I don't want to tell you about it, but, this is very necessary.
I also told him about the events during the tournament in the Empire. From Miss Hart's fight in the tournament, to her fight against the powerful Saints of the Holy Church.
As usual, the three of them were shocked.
"Skill who can block all magic?"
"Did Miss Licia not know that skill?" my many.
"I've heard of it, it seems like magic, not skill, rather ancient magic,"
"Ancient magic?!"
Did I not hear wrong? The only ones who can use ancient magic are those who have lived for more than 100 years! Because studying ancient magic took decades.
"Hero, what's the level?"
Miss Licia knows that I have Appraisal Eyes.
"I don't understand, but, level 131. Have you ever heard of a false stat?"
"Fake stat? Huh ...it might be his unique skill,"
"It's decided!" shouted King.
"Did?"
"The three of you have to find that person and bring him here, tell him that I'm going to pay him a lot!"
What was on his mind?! He made the decision unilaterally. You don't know what Miss Hart looks like!
"Okay, King." Miss Licia and Miss Emina take the King's orders.
Huh, I've lost.
We also left the room.
They both took me to the magic tower.
"So, Miss Licia, when are we leaving?" my many.
"Now,"
Heh? Right, 're you?
We entered a small room in the magic tower.
*clip
The lights illuminated the small room.
There was nothing in that room.
Shortly after, a magic circle appeared in the middle of the room.
"We haven't used this for a long time" Ms. Licia said.
"What's that?"
"This is teleportation magic. A magic circle that can send you to any location,"
"Eating a lot of Mana" said Miss Emina.
"But, we've been storing Mana inside this magic circle for so many years, it wouldn't be a problem if used now,"
"Be-so, yeah,"
I was a little anxious to hear the explanation from the two of them.
We were standing in the middle of the magic circle.
"Empire Destination,"
"Magic Teleportation!"
-------------------------------
We got somewhere.
Where is this? It doesn't seem to be in the Empire.
"Licia, why is it like this?!" Miss Emina looks angry.
"Huuh .. sorry, sorry, we're already in the Empire, however, it looks like we're being sent to the far side of the forest,"
The good news is, we have arrived in the Empire in an instant, the bad news, this is the forest interior!
"Wait, I feel signs of life around here, it looks like there's a small village not far from here." Miss Emina closed her eyes.
Detection skill? Even I don't feel it.
We walked through the forest to where Miss Emina was talking about.
The forest here seems safe. I saw no sign of fighting between monsters or traces of monsters.
----------------------------
A pretty long journey. We walked for over an hour. There are no signs of life at all.
"We're up." Miss Emina raised her hand.
I don't even feel anything.
"See that." Miss Licia pointed at something in front.
"I-it?!" I was surprised to see something in front of me.
"Right, a barrier of Mana, what village is this really?"
We approached the village.
This is a Mana barrier, Miss Emina is so great! His detection skill was already at the highest level.
"Stop." Miss Licia raised her hand.
In front of the village were several large statues.
"That's a Golem" said Miss Emina.
What village is this really?!
