Chapter 363 Search (7)
One month passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, Billy\'s friends and their students returned from his dungeon. His income in those two months skyrocketed, but he probably didn\'t have any need for more money in his life. If he holds back on his spending, his family will have it easy for the rest of their life. Still, Billy couldn\'t help but buy new items and replicate them using his own style in order to improve his skills and use his imagination to improve them as well.
Around that same time, Billy received news that the people of Tersaris state requested help from the barbarians. Since Svan himself informed him that he thought of a letter, then it was true, and he was going to lead the group that would help. Apparently, they had been putting a good fight, but against the endless hordes of monsters, they didn\'t know what they could do. Without much of a choice, they requested them for the barbarians, even though they didn\'t have a good relationship with them due to the difference in their culture.
"Where is that asshole when I need him?" Billy asked. "Since the summoner is busy with the Galatea followers, he should target the summoner… This is the perfect chance."
Billy wondered if he was being too shameless, hoping that someone would solve that problem for him. Still, he couldn\'t help it since he didn\'t want to leave his family behind and go on another quest. Still, he couldn\'t help but worry that the actions of the reincarnated individuals are deteriorating his reputation indirectly. Thanks to that, he was sleeping a lot less lately.
"There is no other choice… I will send some of my crossbows to these guys," Billy said.
Anything was better than having to deal with the summoner. Still, just to be sure that spreading his weapons won\'t cause problems later, Billy decreased their durability as much as possible. Billy also felt that he was scamming people by doing so, but one can\'t have their cake and eat it at the same time.
"I will hear the results of this in around two months, so I can rest easy for the time being," Billy nodded to himself. "Since they use magic a lot, their power using the crossbows will be sufficient. I want to see Svan\'s face when he realize that I helped them like that."
Jean frowned when he heard Billy\'s idea, they didn\'t have any reason to help more than they already did, and if he was going to such lengths to help strangers, it would be better if he could go there himself. He didn\'t understand that Billy was doing that because he didn\'t want to go…
While Billy was waiting for that, he decided to take the kids to where his wives worked for a change of pace. However, when he crossed the gates of his home, he saw that guy… He sure appears when one least expects it.
"So, those are your kids?" Icarus said. "Should we be thankful that they took after their mothers?"
"Not a good time to make jokes…" Billy glared.
"Sorry, sorry," Icarus said while forcing a smile. "You must have died young to make your own family so soon in this world."
"Don\'t talk about that when we aren\'t alone…" Billy said.
"It seems that I keep stepping on landmines," Icarus said. "Regardless, I have some bad and good news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Billy took his time replying to that because, despite his words, he was a bit curious about Icarus\' past life. He had thought that all of them had died young, but that didn\'t seem to be the case…
"Whatever, the bad news first," Billy said.
"You are that kind of guy… Anyway, I found traces of another individual like us, but the trail was a bit cold, also the trail lead to the extermination of some wealth families, their money was also stolen when I asked about it," Icarus said. "It is hard to tell if that guy is an enemy, but they certainly are keeping a low profile. Tracking them will be difficult."
It was better than them planning to overtake the states and then the world. Still, considering that they killed some wealthy families and took their money, maybe they were another troublesome for.
"If they stole a lot of money, it shouldn\'t be hard to track someone who is spending a lot of it," Billy said.
"That is what I thought as well," Icarus said. "I spent the last few months looking for people that recently got rich or spent a lot of money, but I didn\'t find anything."
They truly were keeping a low profile… In any case, perhaps they should look into that from another perspective. Still, Icarus dropped a bombshell, and that made Billy forget about that.
"I am planning to decrease the forces of the summoner and I need your help, in case he makes a bad move, we can work together to take him down," Icarus said. "Those are the good news."
"They certainly aren\'t good for me, I can\'t take my kids to such a dangerous place, my wives will definitely follow me this time, and we can\'t leave them behind," Billy said.
"Well, according to what I saw recently, it is only a matter of time before the neighboring states are called to help in the war and I am sure that your friends will be the first called to help," Icarus said. "Even if the ones who aren\'t here aren\'t called, others will. I decided to move as well now because some of the people that I care about might be dragged into this, so I want to prevent things from escalating."
Some people that Billy cared about had already been called… Still, he was reluctant to do that. Unlike Icarus, he won\'t be able to hide his presence and actions from the summoner, so eventually, he will make himself and his family targets of that asshole.
