Chapter 654: I’m Now an Expert Level Air Mage

“You’re leaving already?” Yuria asked us as we were about to leave Rygis.

“Yes. There are other location we need to go. And probably some other smaller country that might suffer the same fate as your country did. And they don’t even know it. Well, if those countries have a leader like you, then we can help them if the cult has started spreading there. But if the leader is some kind of tyrant, it’s best for the closest kingdom to that country to gain their territory. I think the citizens would prefer it that way. Well, that’s our job to investigate those places,” I said.

The show is over. We have performed in the capital of Rygis and another city in Rygis as well. And we returned back to the capital to bid our farewell to Yuria and Patricia.

...Actually, it’s not just those two. Burnes and one of the strongmen wanted to bid their farewell to the gatekeepers they got along with. I think they have gotten along so well. Though I don’t know if they’re going to meet again in the future or not.

“This is just a job. And we have casual relationship where we can satisfy each other’s desire. We have clarified our status that we’re not going out. Though I never told them that we’re agents,” Burnes said casually.

They just used those women to gain information. As expected of agents.

Because of that battle, only I, Shirley, and Angela made our move against the cult members in Rygis. That’s why those gatekeepers only thought of Burnes and the others as legitimate circus members and not agents of other countries.

.....

Burnes and the others know that. That’s why they exploit the gatekeepers’ feeling to gain more information. And maybe there are other members of the circus who get along with other people in Rygis.

In fact, even Burnes approached another girl in different city. What a playboy.

I think his job is more like being a playboy than being an agent.

In Rygis, only Yuria and Patricia who knows that the members of the circus are agents. That’s why it’s fine to tell them the truth.

When Sara came here, she was an official messenger of Tatrama. And now, Rygis has officially entered our alliance against the cult. Though Tatrama will still help Rygis to clean up all the cult members here because we still don’t know if we have gotten all of them or not.

By the way, Albert’s interrogation with the nodding guy is over. And I killed him because it seems that Albert has tortured him enough. So I killed him easily by breaking his neck.

As for the woman in black, it seems that she is returned to Rygis and can only wait for her execution. Yuria will use her to get everyone to work together against the cult by executing someone whom everyone think close to her. Just by witnessing that, they will understand the weight of the situation.

The president publicly executing someone who stayed with her for a long time? The citizens will think that their president is a resolute woman who gives no mercy toward enemies of the country. And that helps Yuria gain more supporters from those who want their country to be safe. As long as they get the story right.

That’s politic. It’s confusing. I just do what I was told as long as it doesn’t bother me.

We leave Rygis soon after bidding our farewell. With Breezy and Airy coming.

“Where are we going, Roy?” Breezy asked me excitedly. It’s his first time going to another country. Though for me, it’ just returning back to Tatrama. Just a different city.

“It’s the kingdom I was born in. Tatrama. Though I don’t think I have gone to the city we’re going next. By the way, I won’t join with the travel. I’m using this chance to go to Gale Mountain to cultivate my air magic. What do you two want to do?” I asked the spirits.

This is a good chance to take a break and cultivate. It’s also to let the agents fight by themselves if they encounter danger instead of depending on me. After all, they have witnessed how scary I am.

All the circus members have treated me normally again after performing in the circus. Though I want them to experience battle on their own even if their specialty is in espionage rather than fighting. I want them to grow stronger.

That’s why I will leave during our travel and only come when they almost reach our next destination. And during that time, any bandits, monsters, or cult members they encounter, they need to take care of them by themselves.

“I’ll stay with Roy. I want to travel to a lot of places, but I’m not as enthusiastic as my brother is. And Roy’s progress in his air element will grow faster if I’m with him when he’s cultivating,” Airy said.

Yes, I have tried to cultivate with Airy by my side and when she’s not by my side. The result was even when Airy didn’t do anything, my progress rate becomes faster than usual. And when I do it at the peak of Gale Mountain, it will become even faster.

“I’ll go with Kron then. He’s leaving the mountain when you get there, right? Though I want to come back to you whenever you’re about to perform,” Breezy said.

Kron, Veronica, Wendy, Shirley, and even Angela are all in Gale Mountain to cultivate their magic. And when I get there, they will return to their daily lives because power won’t be gained by just cultivating. They need experience as well to be used well.

Sara is also there at the moment. After her discussion with Yuria is over, I brought her back to Albert. And after she finished reporting everything, she said that she wanted to go to Gale Mountain.

She’s already an expert level air mage. Is she aiming to be a master level in her air element? I hope she can become stronger faster.

As for me, I’m still an advanced level. That’s why I need to cultivate. After all, I don’t know when my summoning element can reach master level and gain another familiar. I need to get stronger in magic as well to be able to defeat the Evil God.

And so, after we left Rygis, I opened a portal to go to the peak of Gale Mountain. Breezy is coming with me as well so he can meet Kron there.

Even though Breezy was absent for a few days from there, the hurricane was still there. Though the power of the hurricane was considerably weaker then when Breezy was here.

The wind mages decided to leave as well, so I didn’t close the portal until all of them leave. Breezy meet up with Kron and the two decided to move together.

As for Angela, Shirley, Veronica, and Wendy, they also left on their own. Wherever they want to go to, I don’t know. They are wind mages. They can move freely in the sky.

Though they said that they wanted to explore dungeons to improve their strength.

The only one remaining here other than Airy and I was Sara. And so, I started cultivating air magic next to Sara with Airy laying down on my lap. Why is this spirit so lazy unlike her brother?

The travel to the next destination should be around one week time. So I’ll stay here to cultivate for six days before returning to the circus.

On the second day of cultivating, I felt that I’m about to breakthrough to expert level. This is amazing. With Airy here, my progress is much faster than when I was cultivating in the outer space.

On the third day, Sara said that she wanted to return to Cassau and test her air magic. She said that because of the classes, there’s a designated place for air mages to learn to shoot guns. And that’s the best place for her to train.

As for me, I choose to test my shooting against bandits, monsters, or members of the cult. So I never knew about that shooting practice area in Cassau.

Finally, at on the fifth night at the peak of Gale Mountain, I reached it. I’m now an expert level mage. Both in summoning and in air element.

With this, my air magic, like the sleeping gases, calming gases, infuriating gases, depressing gases, and other gases can affect expert level mages easier than before. And probably, my magic can have some sort of effect toward the weaker master level mages as well. It will be easier for me if my job is to capture them and not killing them. Killing them is still easy since I’m an Aura Master.

“Airy, want to go back to the circus?” I asked Airy who has been resting on my lap since we came here. She’s only sleeping and not doing anything at all.

And she told me that as spirits, she doesn’t need to eat or drink. Maybe spirit is not a monster. Though I don’t really care either way. As long as she’s our ally.

“Sure. Will there be anything special in the place we’re going to?” Airy asked.

“I don’t know. But from my experience, there are different specialized culinary in every city. Though you can’t eat them, so I guess you’re not interested in it,” I said.

“I said that I don’t need to consume to live. I can still eat or drink like human does. Maybe I’ll find something delicious there,” Airy said.

Well, there’s really no one who can restrain themselves from delicious food. And as an entertainer, it’s my job to entertain Airy. Not only in the circus, but in other places as well since she’s going to stick with me for a long time.
