Chapter 666
“I think I’ll leave for a while and bring all the captured people to the prison first. Spot and Wendy don’t know where to bring those people,” I said.
“Do it quick. After you’re done, bring Wendy, Candy, Kayla, and Shirley here. At least those four,” Albert said.
I know about why Albert asked me to bring Wendy and Candy. They are agents that has been with me from the start. The agents who have helped Albert from the start after knowing the truth from me. So I get why Albert wants me to bring those two.
As for Kayla and Shirley, I don’t know. I know that Kayla is smart. And Shirley is also a member of the royalty. But why is Albert calling them?
Well, I won’t know until I return.
“Is it fine for you to be alone with him though? Just who is he?” I asked Albert.
.....
“I’ll tell you later. Just bring those four. If you’re worried, you can let Victoria stays,” Albert said.
The lord didn’t say anything at all. He just had that look of confusion seeing me. Probably wondering who I am, where I came from, and how much I know.
Let’s leave them be. I let Victoria stays with Albert as I used portal to Wendy’s location.
“Wendy, Albert wants you to go to where he is. I’ll bring these people to the prison and bring the others as well,” I said.
Wendy then entered the portal and quickly stays behind Albert as I close the portal. Then I called Sonia to tell Candy, Kayla, and Shirley that Albert wants to meet them.
I opened a portal to the prison and bring all the people on Spot’s back there. I also opened a portal back to that mansion and grab all the servants that I captured to the prison. They were already unconscious as soon as the lord said their characteristics which made me able to find them right away. And I knock them out without them knowing as I threw them to the sky
After I brought everyone to the prison, I received message from Sonia telling me that everyone can come now. So I opened a portal and bring them all to Spot’s back before opening a portal to the mansion again.
Now everyone that Albert called is in the mansion. And in front of the shocked expression of the lord, there’s a shocked expression of the princess, Shirley.
“Randy? You’re still alive?” Shirley asked.
“Shirley? What is that? Teleportation?” the lord asked.
“No, that’s a portal. A portal that is used by summoner. For now, I’ll introduce you to these people that I trust. There are more of them but that will make this place too cramped,” Albert said.
So, that guy is not someone dangerous. He’s not an enemy. But instead, he’s someone that needed to be introduced to us for some reason. Maybe because he’s strong. Albert tells us that he’s strong enough to be the main force against the cult. And Shirley seems to know him as well.
Albert then stands up and started to introduce the lord to us.
“Everyone, this is Randy. Shirley and my cousin. He’s both smart and strong. In fact, I used to think that he is more suitable to be the king than me,” Albert said.
Hmm? Wait, cousin? Someone who is more suitable as the king? Smart and strong?
“Huh? I thought that you don’t have other relatives,” Kayla said.
I don’t think I ever asked Albert about that as well. Well, it’s not that important to me. That’s why I never asked him that.
“A few years ago, I heard the report that he died. But to think that he became a lord. Brother, you know something about it, right?” Shirley asked Albert.
“Yeah. He was sent here to replace the lord. The previous lord was a terrible one. And Randy said that he has no interest in becoming a king while he’s still loyal to the kingdom. So father decided to make him the lord of this city while hiding the fact that he’s a member of royalty. During official meeting, he rarely appears. So that’s why Shirley doesn’t know he’s still alive,” Albert said.
“Cousin? He’s your cousin and you didn’t hesitate to shoot him at all?” I asked.
“No need to hesitate. His healing magic, even back then, has reached advanced level. He can heal himself,” Albert said.
What the hell? So it’s fine if we shoot a healer? Though I won’t shoot Kayla ever. Hmm... but maybe if Graham or other angels acting up I will shoot them.
“So, why is he allowing slavery in this city?” I asked.
“That... I don’t know yet. I never asked him to give his report at all. I only trust him to do well,” Albert said.
“I was waiting.”
Suddenly, Randy, says something. I can remember his name now.
“Waiting for what?” Shirley asked.
“Someone strong,” Randy said.
Then he started explaining what happened.
The situation of this city after was so bad. But he managed to make this city into a better place for the people living here. Until he found out something.
A woman that was supposed to be a slave of the previous lord. When Randy noticed her, he didn’t react much. But he sensed that she is far stronger than he is.
Afraid that something bad will happen after she was freed, he decided to be her master. And he had no choice but to continue the slavery here. Though he make note of everyone who bought the slaves and every dangerous individuals or group.
“As I continue to investigate while making sure that she can’t use magic with the collar, I found out that she is related to some cult. It was only a few years ago when I realized that the cult is the Evil God Cult after the news I received from Melk. About the stampede that was caused by the cult,” Randy said.
...He’s a super spy! He stays here the whole time because he knows the danger that will happen if he lets that woman free. Though who is that woman?
“The woman I talked about was the woman that suddenly got disappear before and got captured by that man,” Randy said as he points his finger at me.
So, it was that suspicious woman? She has been here for a long time already. She must have some sort of influence among the cult members at least in this city.
Randy then continued. He said that he continued investigating about the woman for years. And the more he learned, the more he realized that he’s no match against her even though her magic is blocked. So he can only hope for someone strong to come and defeat her instead of asking for help. Because she can easily kill him and everyone here.
That’s to be expected. She’s a master level mage. She can easily destroy the whole city. But Randy must be amazing to be able to prevent her from doing anything. Even if he had to act like the bad guy and even got shot.
“When the tournament happen, I watched that maybe that Angela would be able to fight decently against her. I hoped that Angela would come here and ask for her help. But turns out, it’s not Angela who came here,” Randy said.
“Yeah, it’s not her. But it’s her lover. If you have been acting and being secretive for so long, you missed a lot of things. No wonder Albert brought everyone here. Well, it’s not really everyone, but these people here should be enough for you to learn of everything that you need to know,” I said.
So far from what I heard, this Randy is not just an extremely capable man. He’s a spy. A super spy that protect the kingdom even by turning himself into the evil way.
I probably have found it. The man who doesn’t care if he’s going to cause trouble with civilian. Now, the only thing left to do is to bring him to join us.
“Randy, you will be arrested from now. But I want you to join us in destroying the cult,” Albert asked Randy to join us.
“I will protect the kingdom. But I don’t know about these people. Let me hear about them first,” Randy said.
And so, I started my introduction to him. Seeing that Albert says that we can trust him, there’s nothing to hide.
“I’m Roy. A summoner, an air mage, and I’m also an Aura Master. And I came from the future. If you’re close with Albert, you should know that he has special ability, right? Listen carefully because what I’m going to tell you is nothing but the truth. And Albert has confirmed them all to be the truth,” I said before I started explaining about everything to Randy.
This is great. He’s an amazing person. Not only he’s smart, he’s also strong and resolute to do evil if necessary. He’s an expert level in earth magic, lightning magic, and healing magic. Similar to Kayla. Except it’s lightning instead of light.
A super helper will join us! Maybe if it’s him, he can find where the evil god is hiding.
