Chapter 791 The Other Side
I had made that armor and rapier specifically for the King\'s and Camilla\'s son, Gustav. And he seemed to love it as he quickly got the whole armor set on and even the little rapier. I had made them lightweighted and small for him.
"You look like a little paladin, my prince!" David was amazed.
"I\'ll become a paladin like David!" Said Gustav.
"Well, you can become a Prince Knight." Said his father. "But Paladin is a bit too much…"
"Just let the boy dream, dear." Camilla giggled. "Thank you for these things, Planta. Here\'s your payment for everything, and also here\'s Ambil\'s payment for the things we bought from him."
"Thank you so much." Ambil bowed his head.
"Thanks!" I smiled, grabbing a bag full of coins.
Ding!
[You\'ve accepted the payment.]
[You received 500.000.000 Gold.]
With that alone, I ended making half a billion…
…
Wait, isn\'t that too much money?!
"A-Are you sure this is okay?!" I was shocked. "Your majesty, half a billion is…!"
"Pay no mind to that, this equipment is top tier." Said the King. "And if its for my son, I\'m willing to reward you well because you thought about him! Now that we\'re done with this, we should quickly start our actual meeting, the original reason why you were invited here."
"R-Right, that\'s right. Sorry for making everyone wait." I apologized to my friends and Angelina\'s group.
"No worries, the drama was fun." Rita giggled maliciously.
"I wish those three were punished more…" Mark sighed. "But I guess that\'s that for now."
"So there\'s a Crafting Contest coming this weekend! It is quite exciting to think about." Angelina said. "I am not a crafter myself, sadly, but I\'ll be cheering for you, Planta!"
"I might join it. I am quite good at Alchemy at least." Said Gandalf.
"You\'re not even in the top 10 Alchemist Rankings, stop bluffing." Laughed Anikitty. "You\'re just mid at most, nyah!"
"Who are you calling "mid"?!" Gandalf almost lost his marbles.
"Now, now, let\'s calm down and just start the meeting already." Erdrich giggled at his friends\' hijinks.
"I\'m so bored…" Jenny yawned.
"Let\'s just get to it." Lily smiled. "After this, we could take a break!"
"It\'s not like you\'ve done much since you logged-in, no?" Rita raised an eyebrow. "You want to take a break already?!"
"I still feel a bit sleepy from last night~" Lily giggled mischievously.
"Last night?" Rita wondered. "Oh! Don\'t tell me you meet another stud? Geez, you\'re really having the life, huh? How many have you gotten already?"
"Hehehe…" Lily only giggled without revealing the exact number.
She was certainly a deadly cougar… Anyways! Back to the topic at hand.
We moved to a large hall where there were a few other knights guarding the entrance. The king asked us to sit down and relax.
Several maidservants and manservants arrived, bringing all sorts of tea brews and snacks, such as small cakes, pies, and breads with butter, cheese, and ham.
They all looked delicious and were of similar quality to the banquet. Some of us were quite hungry, so this was perfect to sit down and relax while talking about a rather serious topic.
We spent the first fifteen minutes talking about what happened yesterday, the suspects that could had been working with the cultists hiding as nobles, and also addressing the chimera attacks we experienced, and then we moved to the hidden dungeons, and what happened in each one in more detail.
From the fragment of the chimeric being that had become a "Core" for Miasma and other Demonic Materials to be created, which held a small fragment of the Demon King of Miasma himself, to the second chimera we fought, the aberration hiding in the second hidden dungeon.
The first hidden dungeon was still in operation, there were many cultists working in there, and were constantly utilizing the monster they had sealed to gain power and the materials needed for their strange augmentations, that made the more like monsters than the humans they used to be.
The second hidden dungeon was empty from cultists though, but the last boss was unnerving. It was made specifically with a different method, and all the monsters there were chimeric monsters different than the modified cultists, creatures made by sacrificing people and monsters, and merging them together with Miasma and Death Magic.
The Boss, however, was the strangest. It possessed Demonic Energy, and it was made using strange pentagrams and a bizarre book I still have inside my Inventory, which I forgot to show to Rose and Albert…
We also told him what that Boss did once it was about to be killed, the whole portal creation, that led to a different, demonic realm where demonic beings tried to invade this world…
"The cultists are doing much more than just trying to modify their bodies, they\'re trying to reach something with all of this." I explained. "This book, whenever I tried to appraise it, I got a big headache and it somehow tried to corrupt the System itself… It\'s dangerous, but it\'s one of the few clues we have about what they were trying to do. It\'s filled with bizarre drawings of demons, a language we can\'t understand, and also countless Demonic Magic Circles, or Pentagrams, which aid wicked warlocks to connect with Demons or even summon their strength."
"T-This is incredible…" The King was feeling rather shocked. "To think they have gone so far… Those bastards, are they trying to contact the [Other Side]?" He wondered.
"Most likely…" Camilla sighed. "Urgh, this is all our fault for not being careful. We shouldn\'t had let them grow this far! It is also my fault… I let this happen."
"I-It\'s not your fault, Camilla, calm down." The king tried to calm her. "This all falls to my shoulders, I am the King here… I am the one to blame for let them begin their wicked summoning of the Other Side\'s monstrosities."
"Other Side?" Mark asked. "What\'s that?"
"It is… a confidential information only shared among the most prestigious and strongest noble families in the continent, including the royal families." The King said. "But in our Mythology, the Other Side has many names… Some even call it "Inferno", "Hell", or even "The Purgatory"…"
So it is as I thought… Hell is also connected with Arcadia!
