Chapter 9: Chapter 09

 

Everything fall into place.

 

That’s what I am feeling right now.

I thought that Varic’s mission is just a simple ‘I hope I will earn money from this’ type of quest. I didn’t know I will gain a lot from this mission... and saying ‘a lot’ seems disrespectful.

I gain an ‘enormous’ amount of wealth and power in this mission.

Aside from the dimensional bag, subspace ring, bags of gold and magic crystal.

The really treasure are the black magic book and…

“The Fruit.”

I feel like I am lying on the soft cotton candy cloud right now as I said that.

 

The Tree of the Beginning.

It is the most ancient tree in the world, this tree supports the worlds from the moment it is born. The source of all life as the author says.

In the book, the author provided an art for the fans to enjoy the beauty of this magnificent tree. The Tree of the Beginning is located at the very center of the world. It is in the middle of the ocean and part of its tangled root can be seen above water, and the majestic truck is going straight to the heavens. From the upper part of the art, you could see very few branches that has leaves and fruits in it.

Then there is giant vine like creature embracing the trunk. The tree is protected by a powerful Titan named Gaia.

The incarnation of life itself.

I glace at the book and the fruit, and there is one conclusion that I made.

“There are powerful people moving behind the curtain.”

“The black book contains Divine Tier level magic spell. These are not a joke.”

…

“First of all, to cast a Divine Tier Magic you need at least 20 Circles to create this magic.”

That means they have at least 5 4-Circle Mage or 2 8-Circle Mage and a 4-Circle Mage, the combinations are endless.

“But that’s not all, to put it in a medium you need the equivalent circle of mages to control the magic and seal it on the medium. Yet in the end that is not enough.”

I touch the book.

“The materials will burn and eventually it will explode when medium cannot handle the power inside.”

Then I flip the pages of the book.

“That means each of this pages are built on materials that can hold and with stand the power of Divine Tier Magic Spell. Hahahaha.”

I was so happy I covered my mouth immediately.

“There is one conclusion I can make.”

I look at the fruit then back to the book.

“They have a way to gather materials on the Tree of the Beginning.”

“These are powerful people indeed.”

…

…

…

Then something clicks on my head.

“Shit!”

“Isn’t this a story line created for the main character… fuck!”

I didn’t want to become a protagonist of a story I didn’t want those kind of things.

“But those bastards are really planning on killing a lot of people in Slothub ha…”

In the future, those people will create chaos on Slothub.

“Well what is their end goal?”

I pick up The Fruit and started to eat it.

Crunch!

“Munch! Munch!”

“N? Nicolas… well those items are made for royalties that for sure. So let’s just assume that the Duke is involve. He started the war and it failed due to Silver but then the letter said it is not their end goal. So what is?”

“Hmmm… why would they like to start a war…”

…

“What is the cause of the war again? If I’m not mistaken Slexor demand a payment for disrespecting the prince… something like that. But the of course Vosleno didn’t want to pay up.”

This information came from Cole memories.

“But war will cause you, your people and money. Are they that stupid? War is not an investment.”

I shake my head.

“What if? The war and their main goal is not linked together.”

I then glance at the first 30 pages of black book.

“Divine Tier Dominate Spell. From the very beginning this is a very challenging magic to create. You need an 8-Circle Black Mage as the foundation for this magic, which is really an uncommon profession because they are shun by the society, and to top it all, turning it to a Divine Tier Spell would require the black mage to synchronization with other mages and a they will also require a lot of magic crystal to retain its balance.”

“At the same, time to create a Divine Tier spell, it would require a lot of time to cast this spell and the power fluctuation can be felt by any mage with in the distance. So using a divine tier spell in war or combat is not recommended.”

Then I flip the page once again.

“That is why they seal the spell on a divine quality material. This will make it an instantaneous cast.”

“If I’m joining the war isn’t it wasteful to spend 30 pages of dominate spell on a divine quality material. Instead I should focus on large scale magical spell or instant death spell. If they already have a Black Mage, why would they trouble themselves just to dominate someone?”

Crunch!

…

…

“If that is the case.”

I look at the subspace ring.

“Subspace ring and Black Book combination… Divine Tier Dominate Spell…”

Chuckled.

I thought of something funny. By reading a lot of novels and comics, I have some prediction on what they wanted to do.

“Do they want to control the kingdom?”

“Divine Tier Dominate Spell will not miss and it cannot be block, even if they are Aura Master or 8-Circle Mage their skill is not enough to escape it. However, 30 pages… 30 people isn’t it too much.”

Crunch!

“Let’s see. The King, the Queen… Hmmm… ah the nobles… yeah.”

…

“If the nobles are involved, 30 might not be enough…”

Crunch!

I look at the contents of the book once more and finally I nod, I finally get it.

“That is the reason why, there are ‘these’ kind of spell here.”

Gulp!

I finish eating The Fruit.

A small particles started to appear around me.

I was surprise when they slowly arrive in my sight then I shake my head and get my thoughts back.

“Well whatever their plan is… I don’t want to be involved in it… I really don’t care.”

Then I started to hear things.

Hi! Hi! Hi!

A cute baby sound.

Hi! Hi!

They are laughing and looks like they are having fun.

A ball of red light appears on the side of the room, then a ball of white light appears on my side, different color and hues of light are now appearing in my room one after the other.

 I tried to touch them but my hand just passes thru.

“Elementals.”

That’s right, these are elementals…

Creatures that are the closes to nature and the world itself.

You are reading story Tour In Titan at novel35.com

No one can see them except for few people who are bless by nature and the legendary Elementalist, is the only person who can communicate with the elementals.

For me, I will not become an Elementalist.

More likely, one of the elementals will like me enough that they will decide to bond with my soul.

Hi! Hi! Hi!

The elementals move around the room.

They look like they are dancing around me.

This is beautiful… They are beautiful.

They look like cotton candy that have dim light inside them.

And the way they dance around me, feels like I am inside a room full of Christmas lights that is slowly and moving gently by the wind.

But after a while…

Each of them left… one by one…

“Sigh.”

I look at the ceiling and smiled.

“Eating ‘The Fruit’ wouldn’t give you a 100% chance of bonding with elementals, I already know that before I eat ‘The Fruit’.”

“It just gave me ‘a chance’ to bond with one of them. The author said that you will be counted as one of the lucky ones if an elemental bonded with you.”

I tried to reach out to the last yellow elemental in front of me before it slowly disappears.

“Still I feel satisfied in having this once in a life time experience.”

I look at the loot resting on the table.

“Ahhh…”

My heart pound from excitement.

I stand up and stretch.

I put the gold, magic crystal and jewelry box inside the dimensional bag. Then put the dimensional bag and black book inside the subspace.

For the ring, it will attract to much attention so I need to buy a glove first thing tomorrow morning. For now, I will just keep it in my pocket.

Suddenly, I felt disappointed.

“Ahhh… it still a waste that none of the elementals bonded with me.”

I still keep my smile as I shake my head.

Elementals are powerful assets. They will stay with you until the day that you die, they will protect you from harm and by binding with your soul you can even use their powers.

You can shoot fireball without mana, cause a tornado because you felt like it and you can call the rain even if you are just thirsty.  

But bonding with them is a one in a million chance. For the elementals, bonding with your soul is like a marriage to them and they will only bond to a person they are extremely compatible with.

Still, it feels like a waste that none of the elementals that visited me is compatible with my soul. Just having one of those will greatly improve ‘my power’ significantly.

I lie down in my bed after tidying up.

I put my hands under my head.

“Well… (ahhhh) there is nothing I can do about it.”

I close my eyes.

“Thank you for that wonderful experience Elementals.”

As Cole fell asleep that night, a colorless entity gently falls down to his chest like a snowflake the slowly landed on the ground.

 

Where? Where? Where is it?

The grey hair man is currently pacing around this room.

This man is already 55 years old but his body is still look prime and if anybody would’ve see him they will not even look at the old man as weak person.

Knock! Knock!

Is he here?

“Come in!”

The door of my office room open and a man with a brown hair and fine build entered my office.

He smiled at me and slowly walk toward the couch and sit down.

With his arm running across the chair he looks at me and nod.

Tsk. This people didn’t even know common courtesy.

“Guild Master Bollea how’s the search?”

“Your excellency… I have personally look at the treasure we obtain in the raid but unfortunately the dimensional bag you are looking for is not one of them.”

The way he talks, shows that we are at the same level.

Bam!

I slam my fist on the table.

I look at him and he didn’t even flinch.

“You have to look for it again! Hold any adventurers that join the raid I want to search them all.”

The man in front of me smiled and shakes his head.

“That won’t do, your excellency.”

He looks at the window.

“We are not part of your kingdom, as adventurers we are free to move where ever we want. Of course we are required to follow the countries rules and regulation but holding the adventurers in a single city without proper explanation is a terrible idea. The council will question your motives and they might even remove the guild in this city if they believe you are turning the adventurers into your prisoners.”

Who cares about the council? Who cares about the adventurers?

So what? What now?

I already receive the second letter which contains the plan and list of items inside that bag.

Bam!

Shit! Why did I make that decision? Just because I don’t want to attract any attention I though having a personal knight fetch the item is enough.

Shit! Shit!

I should have called in an Aura Master but a lot of Nobles are already staring down at me, I guess that won’t do.

“But Bollea, the content of the bag are…”

Bollea raise his hand telling me to stop.

“Duke Nicolas, I don’t need to involve myself on the contents of that bag. We are thankful that you lend us your soldiers and in return the Adventurer Guild, followed your request, we check each and every adventurer before they leave the camp.”

“The administrator even has soldiers beside them when they did the inspection. In addition to that the soldiers together with the administrator also sweep the area, thrice.”

He holds three fingers in the air.

“I think we already cooperated enough with the city.”

The he leans forward.

“Duke.”

I look at him in the eye.

“There is also a possibility that they already sold the items.”

I began to shake.

The content of the bag… the content of the bag will change this country.

Not just that.

That item…

Is almost within my grasp.

Bollea shakes his head.

“I will take my leave, your excellency.”

Bollea exited my office.

After that.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

That day the people inside the mansion heard Duke Nicolas rages inside his office all day.
