Chapter 911: Where is it?
Chapter 911: Where is it?
After taking care of the crystal, we flew up to survey the scene and found that the goblins were scattering.
We took care of a few groups of these goblins since they would have caused quite a bit of
damage if they were allowed to roam the Midra Kingdom, but the regular goblins were left to be dealt with by the people of the surrounding area.
We could have dealt with them as well, but…we just didn’t want to do it.
Especially with the attitude that the people of the Midra Kingdom had.
“Can’t we take care of the other goblins as well?”
That was what they selfishly asked, but…
“We’re tired from dealing with all of the goblins from before and we need to rest, so we’re heading back to the capital.”
They were shocked to hear this since they thought that we would go to another place with a large concentration of monsters, but we didn’t care at all for that.
Klein put his foot down on this matter and there was nothing that they could do since we were the ones that controlled the wyverns.
They were more afraid that we would leave them behind more than anything else.
So they had no choice but to come back to the capital with us.
When we arrived in the capital, the people who received us were very surprised.
It wasn’t just the guards that received us, there were many ministers who all came to see us. After all, they didn’t understand why we had come back after a single day…no, it wasn’t even a full day, it had only been half a day.
They didn’t think that this was enough time to solve this problem.
Klein just simply explained that we had cleared out one nest and we needed to rest now before we did anything else.
The ministers didn’t refute this since they didn’t know the situation, so the only thing that they could do was look to the people that they sent to watch over us. Those people also couldn’t say anything and could only look awkward since they knew that we controlled all of the cards.
In the end…
“Understood, please let us prepare the rooms for you and your men, Sir Klein.”
They just seemed to give up on this matter, but it was clear by the look in their eyes that they wouldn’t really give up.
What they lacked right now was information, so they were just buying time to get the information that they needed. As for who they would get that information from, it was naturally the ones that they sent to watch over us.
Klein didn’t care since he knew that they wouldn’t be able to do anything even if they got the information that they wanted.
So we were assigned separate rooms.
There was no fear in taking these rooms since there was no way that they would dare do anything to us.
We were their only hope in cleaning up the mess that the monsters had made in their kingdom.
At the same time, if they were to actually do something to us, there was no doubt that the wyverns would lose control. Once we were out of the picture, there would be no one to control the wyverns and they would destroy the capital.
That was the last thing that these nobles who cared the most about their own lives would want.
So they wouldn’t do anything that would turn us against them like this.
Though to do some things under the surface was definitely possible.
That was why Shadow Five pulled me aside when we were heading to dinner.
I was confused why she pulled me aside, but she gave me something that was similar to the Detection Ward from the system. With this, we went back to the room that I was staying in.
I was very confused why she was doing all of this and a bit afraid.
After all, I knew the relationship between the prime minister and her.
He was my brother in law, so I wouldn’t do something like that to him.
However, those fears were unnecessary.
“Where is it? Why can’t I find it?”
“Stop making a mess!”
“Right, what will you do if they found out? We’ll all lose heads!”
Those were the voices that were coming from my room.
These were all female voices, which made it clear that they were coming from the maids of the castle.
However, I was surprised that they were all gathered in my room like this.
It was clear that they were searching for something in my room, it was just that I had no idea what they were looking for.
Shadow Five looked at me and put her finger to her lip before moving closer to the door.
I shook my head seeing this, but I still followed her over to listen in on what they were saying.
When I poked my head through the door frame like Shadow Five did, I found that my room was a complete mess. Even though they should have been cleaning the room, they had completely torn it up looking for whatever they were looking for.
This room looked like it had been hit by a tornado with how messy it was.
But even then, the maids didn’t seem like they were about to stop.
“Where is it? Where is it?”
They even seemed like they were desperate as they searched the room.
“They didn’t even tell us what it was that we’re looking for, they just said that it was some
kind of crystal!”
“They never told us how big it was either, how are we supposed to find something like this?
They were aiming for the crystal that I picked up this morning.
Since they couldn’t openly take it, they were going to take it in secret.
It was too bad for them that they would never be able to find it since it was already in my
Storage Ring.
That meant that it was with me at all times.
Shaking my head, I gestured to Shadow Five, “I’m leaving, you keep watching over them.”
She just gave a simple nod in response.
