Chapter 793 - 793 Don’t be Too Hasty

793 Don’t be Too Hasty

“What’s wrong?” Victoria asked.

“Someone is going through the tunnel and going this way. He’s wearing a priest’s garb. Let’s hide first and wait before we enter,” I said.

“Or maybe you can just leave now. Albert told me that before you make any mistake, I need to remind you that you are not that good at investigating. And you will send some agents to investigate the three islands, right? Just be patient,” Victoria said.

Oh, right. I was about to enter a tunnel to who knows where. And even if the underground tunnel lead to the lab filled with smart people, it doesn’t mean that there are no master level mages.

If I got caught just by looking down to the lab and accidentally see a master level mage’s in the eyes, then they will increase their security even more and it will be harder for us to fight later.

Why do I want to do something stupid? Is it because I really just want to kill everyone and don’t care how we do it? Because if I do, it makes sense that I want to get discovered so we will have no other choice but to attack this place right away.

It’s good that Albert told Victoria to remind me before I make a huge mistake. Though whether my plan will be a mistake or not is yet to be seen.

“Thanks for the reminder. Let’s just leave this place for later. Anyway, I haven’t seen any summoners in this island. What do you think?” I asked Victoria.

“Summoners? Maybe because so many of them have been killed, they are hidden somewhere and being protected by powerful mages. Maybe they are in the underground lab. Because if the lab is used for cloning monsters such as dragons, then they will need someone to open a portal to transport them,” Victoria said.

.....

And I also haven’t seen any huge entrance or exit for those monsters to leave the lab. Maybe Victoria is right.

Maybe I need proper lessons about infiltrating and investigation techniques. Though I’m too lazy for that.

But if it’s learning a new attacking skill, then I will gladly do it. Though what else should I practice? Those unconventional weapons from Victoria’s world which is not that efficient and can mostly be used for show?

Like nunchaku for example. Nunchaku might be a good weapon in that world. But in this world where no one learned martial arts, even a normal stick will be difficult to dodge. And my physical strength already surpassed everyone. So even without being unpredictable, it will be difficult for anyone to dodge my attack in close range.

So unless I found some magic or Aura weapons for those weird weapons, I don’t think I will try learning it. Maybe I should have asked Timmy if there are other well-known weapons before I killed him.

The priest now has reached the door. And the hidden door opened with a loud sound. I guess being sneaky is difficult for most people to enter that tunnel.

Unless they are capable air mages. Like me who can make a soundproof barrier.

Well, I won’t think about going into the secret tunnel anytime soon. I’ll focus on the island first.

At least we have known enough that there are other places with tunnels leading underground. I’ll see if there’s anything else to find.

If the island kingdom was truly destroyed over a hundred years ago because of the monster and that man, then it’s possible that they are hiding something more. Maybe even the Evil God is here. Though I can’t be sure.

Well, I think tomorrow or the day after is the time that I will bring in the agents to investigate. One of the three islands already has an agent investigating a village, but maybe more people is needed there. I’ll just deliver those agents to each islands and then I will probably go back to performing in the circus until I got called. Or I will just rest.

It’s also weird that there’s no movement at all from the cult to the city in the middle of the Magicless Area. I thought that they would send some people there. But from the report, apparently, there’s no one coming at all.

Maybe the cult has started to be more careful. So many places have been attacked. And they need to be careful to not lose any more powerful mages and monsters until they are confident enough to destroy the world.

But why would anyone looking to destroy the world be so patient and wait for the Evil God to do something? Maybe they are not confident to face the world without the Evil God. Maybe it’s one of their teachings to wait for the Evil God to rise.

The priest left the room. And after a while I also started leaving.

Like before, we go through the window then had Victoria locked it before flying to the sky.

“It’s rare to see them flying. In fact, I haven’t seen anyone here flying other than the guy who talked with the huge monster. But at least we know that the sky is safe,” Victoria said.

She’s right. Other than that guy and the little green bird, I haven’t seen anyone or any monsters flying. Just normal birds. Not a monster at all.

The cult should have more flying type monsters. Unless flying type monsters are too hard to tame. They are usually faster than wind mages after all.

But rather than the sky, I’m worried about the sea. That huge monster is too scary.

I made a few more round trips around the island before I made a conclusion that... I can’t find anything else anymore. I guess I’ll return home now.

“What about checking other islands? Henry said it, right? There were supposed to be more smaller islands but only three can be counted as the main islands. Maybe we could find something in those smaller islands,” Victoria suggested.

“Then that would be our plan for tomorrow. We have wasted a lot of time just in the castle island. And let’s try to avoid the place close to where that huge monster coming from,” I said.

Maybe that huge monster can notice us even if we’re using camouflage. That’s why we won’t go there. At least not yet.

“What if I distract that thing? Then you can go there, right?”

Spot suddenly gave us a suggestion.

“I didn’t feel as much fear as I had when we met the huge dragon. So I don’t feel that I’m going to lose at all. But I will still be careful. I can also ask my children to come and help me. If we fight underwater, then it’s unlikely for us to be tamed. That’s fine, right?” Spot suggested.

“That’s... actually a good idea. And since that guy can converse with the monster, maybe you should talk with it first. Just make sure that you don’t leak anything about us. For now, let’s go back first so we can discuss it with the others,” I said.

I can trust Spot. But he’s still a monster without a master. So the others will be skeptical about him. That’s why I will discuss it with the others first.

When I asked, tomorrow, I will gather everyone together again before I left to the islands. The new members need to know that Spot and his children are our trusted allies.

And we might get more. With Ray training other horse monsters to help us in the future. Once my mission is done, I’ll go check on him and other horse monsters.

We already have a few that will help us. But it’s just not enough yet. So the more we have, the better it is for us.

Though I don’t think we need some rides for the monsters. The werewolves, angels, vampires, and weretigers can fly. So they don’t need a ride. And fighting with their own body instead of magic, it will be difficult for them to adjust when they are fighting on a ride. So it’s best for them to not have a ride.

Some of the kingdoms already have mage-knights who ride horses. They are mostly not wind mages. That’s why they need horses.

But compared to a unicorn, or even a weaker horse monsters, a normal horse is considerably slower. So we need to exchange them with horse monsters.

Sigh... it’s good that so far, there hasn’t been any accident that the cult created. Maybe they are too busy after so many of their bases are destroyed. Also, we are now united against them. So they should be more careful than they were in my past life.

But we still didn’t make any progress in finding out who and where the Evil God is. And I keep getting impatient.

I guess I’ll just watch the circus for tonight. I need something to take my mind off the case. I’ll just be an audience tonight and won’t perform yet. And Thomas also said that there’s a show tonight.

“So, anyone wants to watch the circus?”
