“As expected, the mana I sensed is yours, Ren. And it seems that the other mana I sensed is also right. I wonder what does the princess of the Grandaria kingdom doing here in the middle of the night?” Asked the figure, while he’s still covered by the bags of dust that appeared because of the crash.
“G-Grandpa Kyron?” Said Seraphim with a surprised tone.
“I-I… Um…” Seraphim can’t find the right excuse to say.
Old man Kyron leaked a sigh, his aged face looked tired when he leaked the sigh, making Seraphim felt more guilty when she saw that face.
“Princess… I told you that I will call you by myself if there is a mission for you. If you won’t obey the rule, I’ll tell you majesty the queen about this,” Threatens the old man Kyron.
“No! Please don’t tell mother, Grandpa!” Plead Seraphim.
“Then you need to obey my orders, princess. Even if you’re at the sword saint rank, and possess the legendary weapon ‘Endless Sword’, facing a real sword saint rank veteran, there are still big possibilities that you’ll lose, princess…”
“If I don’t hire Ren to assassinate duke Baldwin too, you might die, princess.” Said the old man Kyron with a stern voice, lecturing the tomboy princess.
“You knew my plans all along?” Asked Seraphim.
“Yes… I’ve become your mentor since you’re a kid, princess. I knew you better than yourself” Said the old man Kyron.
Watching the drama of a grandchild and grandfather, Oz yawns, but he soon realized about something.
“W-wait, don’t tell me that you actually hired me not only for killing duke Baldwin but also to protect this tomboy princess too? I demand more payment for this old man!” Oz protested.
“Y-you! How dare you address the kingdom’s sword god an old man!?” Comment the princess when she heard Oz was calling the kingdom’s sword god as an old man.
“Shut up, you tomboy princess. Your kingdom’s sword god had just scammed me! I demand more payment!” (Oz)
“Shut it, Ren. The opponent is not even worthy for you, but since the princess manages to escape unscathed, I’ll increase your payment,” Said the old man Kyron.
“Yes! Thanks, old man!” Oz thanked.
“Um… Grandpa Kyron? What is your relationship with this man?” Asked Seraphim.
“Hm… I wonder what our relationship could be defined as. For some time he’s my sparring partner, but for now, I’m his employer,” Explained the old man Kyron.
“Sparring partner?” (Seraphim)
“I’ll tell you the details later, princess. You must return, tomorrow you’ll be returning to the castle right?” (Old man Kyron)
“Ah! I will take my leave then, good night grandpa!” Seraphim said and leave the forest after taking a glance at Oz.
Oz glared at old man Kyron, annoyed because the old man used him.
“Don’t be angry, Ren. You need to return and take some rest too, the magic academy grand opening will be started in three days, that’s why you’ll be going to the capital in the morning. I have some other business, you may return first,” Old man Kyron said and leave without waiting for Oz’s reply.
(Magic academy!? Finally!!)
“Ah, shit! I let that old man ran away!” Cursed Oz.
(Ugh, well. I don’t have any energy left to complain anyway, let’s just rest while there’s still some time left)
Oz went back to the orphanage and went right to his room. And groaned as he lies at his bed.
“Damn, my back hurts, doesn’t this a body of a 14 years old boy? How could it ache this much,” Complained Oz because of his aching back.
Oz took a deep breath.
(Does Aegir and the others slept already? Well, let’s check some things out, The said dungeon piqued my interest too)
Oz closes his eyes and sent his consciousness to the other side, but different from the usual, he sent his consciousness to the lich [king] clone.
(This body stealth better than the goblin king clone, this way, I won’t disturb anyone)
The reason Oz decided to use the lich [king] clone is that the goblin [king] clone is inside Aegir’s house, all clones other than the goblin [king] clone are stationed outside of the gates to monitor in case there is a danger, and to sacrifice themselves to buy time for readying the defenses.
Oz uses his arch dark magic and flies, one of the arch dark magic’s advantage is that the magic wielder could levitate using a wing made by the concentrated dark mana. Oz flies and observes the kingdom state from the skies. Even though most of the people had already slept, Oz could still feel a warm atmosphere, a warm smile imprinted at Oz’s face as he saw the scenery.
All of the races live and work together, no sparks of a fight and there is no contest of supremity. All of them only searches for a safe and peaceful place to live.
There is still no money system at the kingdom, they used barter as a trading system, but Oz’s aiming to make a money system to make the economy easier. Tarot’s location is very strategic, the Everdeen forest supply a countless amount of magic beasts that could be hunted for meat, and a lot of magical fruits that also helps to develop mana cultivation.
A lot of mines had started to be processed by the kingdom, gold mines, iron mines, and luckily, there is also a magic metal mine that found under Gareth’s necropolis, Thydal had started to make some prototype of the magic armor and weapons for the army to use.
The other dwarves helped at the kingdom constructions, all of the citizens had their own respective house, but there are still a lot of empty spaces inside the kingdom, as Oz had started the plan of making it an empire. Half of each race had gone and made a civilization at the location Oz gave them.
The undead at the south had made the most progress, their necropolis had already finished as they could work without having rest, and even though it had become the nest of the undead, no sinister and evil could be sensed from them. The land had also not got corrupted because of their existence, The trees don’t die because of their mana, and animals don’t run from them.
Under Gareth’s rule, there are no unreasonable killings, as undead don’t need to eat, there is no need to take a life, this kind of life of the undead changed the perspective of the other races about the undead.
At the west, the goblins, Orcs, and the centaurs had also started to make their territories. The goblins had a great number, so Aegir asked Geeta who had a smart brain to organize it, while the orcs led by Magra, and the Centaurs led by the centaur leader, Firenze.
The orcs are fierce and strong, they adapt quickly and they stockpile a lot of hunted animals for their food. Magra’s leadership slowly grew as he learns from the other executives, people could now sense a wise feeling from him.
The Centaurs are led by their leader, Firenze, a mighty and noble centaur. But centaurs had a high pride when he first came to Tarot, he challenges Oz to evaluate whether Oz’s worthy to be served by the noble centaurs.
Centaurs are both experts in terms of swords and bow, and their charge when they used swords are formidable. But Oz still defeated him single-handedly, making the centaurs hold a high-esteem of him. The centaurs easily build their civilization, as they’re beings that live together with nature. Firenze sent some of his men to invite other centaur tribes to join him, to inform them that he had found a place that all races could be safe, and a peaceful kingdom that the centaur had been searching for, where no centaurs would be hunted and became slaves.
Humans like to hunt other races to enslave them, centaurs are one of the targets of the humans, because they’re powerful and could become a powerful guard. Firenze deeply respected Oz as he rules all the races fairly and peacefully.
The lizardfolk had also gone to the east, their leader, Talak, is strong and wise like a long-lived dragon. There is a huge river in the east, so Oz gave that territory to them. Talak’s name is pretty known at the Everdeen magical forest, even Aegir knew him, with the title of ‘The descendant of the dragons’ Talak.
Different from Firenze, Talak didn’t challenge Oz, he respectfully greets Oz and offered to join Tarot peacefully, he only evaluates Oz as he observes him in a short moment. Talak said that he’ll invite other beastmen to join the kingdom, he said that other tribes are just afraid to ask for joining, and some is whether clueless or too prideful to ask.
Each day, lots of people from various races keep on coming.to Tarot to join under the flag of the magical cards. The flag with an image of love at the right top, the diamond at the left top, club at the left bottom, and spade at the right bottom.
Oz flies and saw his castle that’s still under construction.
(I wonder what it’ll look like when it finished)
(Ugh, the dungeon interest me, but somehow, I think that I want to sleep)
Oz landed and sent back his consciousness to his real body, and decide to sleep before the sun goes high above. But as he tried to sleep.
“Don’t tell me, he’s dead?” A childlike voice that Oz heard before sounded.
“I don’t know, I tried to wake him up multiple times, but nothing works!” The other voice that answered, have a deep and bass voice that filled with darkness.
“…..” (Oz)
“W-wait, you’re awake don’t you?” Asked the childlike voice.
Oz sits up and saw that on top of his body, there are a black cat and a white puppy standing on top of him.
“Who are you two?” Asked Oz with a sleepy tone.
