785 An Island Kingdom
We flew for over two hours already. And we’re already in Varadis’ territory.
The bird stopped once in a while to rest and prey on some worms. For something this strong to only eat worms is quite unique. I think it’s easy to take care of this bird if I ever get similar species to join us.
This bird also eat fruits. It can easily kick away some monsters or animals trying to feed on some fruits, and just stole it from them.
Even when the calming gas is still in effect, it can’t erase hunger. And the bird is still vicious enough to kill those in the way.
Though I think the bird no longer noticed us. Thanks to Spot’s camouflage skill, the bird seems to have thought that we no longer chase after the bird. And maybe that’s why it’s more relaxed than before.
Even with calming gas, the target’s original personality is still there. And a bird who seem to be forced to follow order seem to stop caring about us meant that it really thought that we’re gone already.
“I wonder when will the bird stop by. We’re already close to the Capital of Varadis,” Victoria said.
“Really? Maybe it’s further north. Let’s ask old man Henry if he knows anything about what’s up north,” I said.
I took out my phone and texted old man Henry if he knew anything about the target location. Or maybe if there’s any Magicless Area nearby. Since there’s a city surrounded by Magicless Area in Tatrama, there might be another one in Varadis.
.....
[There should be a fishing village up north. But we have investigated that place several times so I don’t think that place is the destination]
That’s the reply I got from old man Henry. And I agree with him.
I don’t think a village is enough to supply an entire city full of members of the cult. So it shouldn’t be that village. Maybe there’s another hidden city all the way to the north. But beyond that, it should be the sea, right?
As we continue following the bird, I got another text message from old man Henry.
[I just got some information from Great Aunt Halley. She said that there should be an island further up north which was originally an independent kingdom back in her days. We never heard of such things in these recent years. She will text you about it soon. You can ask her more if you want.]
So there’s an island up north? And it used to be a kingdom?
What about now? If it was back in the past when Halley was still a princess long before she became master level mage, I think it should be around 150 years ago. Back when she should still involve herself in politic in her country. Long before she got obsessed with strength.
Soon I got a text from her.
[I heard about you going to the north. Past the north of Varadis, way in the sea, there’s a kingdom that used to be hostile against us a long time ago. The kingdom should be destroyed because of a powerful monster that appeared at the time. Even master level mages couldn’t do anything about it. But whatever the case, you might be going there. At least we know that the island used to be a habitable island. Though I don’t know about the monster there]

That’s the text I got from old man Henry’s Great Aunt.
An old kingdom that’s erased from history because of a powerful monster.
Wait! A monster powerful enough that master level mage couldn’t do anything about it? Maybe the water-type monsters like the orca that the cult tamed weren’t coming from Monsters World. But it could be from this world.
They got tamed and are roaming free in the ocean until their master needed them. So that place is likely where a lot of tamers tamed sea creatures.
Just taming a single orca, which seem to be a king, and that’s enough for hundreds of orcas to come and created wave powerful enough to be called tsunami. What if there are more of them?
“Spot, I might need your children’s help,” I said.
“That’s fine. They are restless after the last time we fought and wanted more. So it will be good for them to fight again,” Spot said.
“Even if they are outnumbered? I think that if they can fight well on land, they can get along really well with other monsters,” I said.
Maybe the sea serpents are similar to werewolves and weretigers. And I think that there could be an endless fight if they all live together.
Even now, I think that some werewolves and weretigers are fighting. Hopefully, not to the death.
I know that the werewolves can be trusted to obey my order. But I don’t know about the weretigers since I haven’t officially said that I’m their king.
...How do I become officially recognized as the Weretiger King? Is it the same as how I got recognized as the Werewolf King? By killing their previous king?
I hope it won’t come to that. Though it’s already obvious who will win. But killing someone with great potential is a huge loss for us.
But if the one I had to kill is Grandpa Weretiger, I think it would be okay. He’s old. He won’t have much left to live.
But since Grandpa Weretiger is still alive when Tiger became the strongest, I don’t think it will end in a deathmatch. Which should be okay.
“We’re stronger than we were back then. Even if there will be some strong monsters, we can handle them for a bit. At least enough until you can come and help us if needed,” Spot said.
Yeah. If the battle there is lead by Sunglasses and at least it will go as well as the battle from before, then yes. I can probably help Spot and the others right away.
The others are still resting. It hasn’t been long since the battle was over. And there will be another battle soon. Which is not something strange and it has happened several times.
We fight several times in one day, rest for a few days, and then we fight again. Though I think this time, I will get more reinforcement.
But I don’t think it’s a good idea to attack today if the place we’re going to is surrounded by water. Again, I’ll just investigate that place for a while and once I had enough information, I’ll get the others to come.
We’re at the sea now. We just passed the fishing village old man Henry mentioned. Seems like we’re really going to that island Halley mentioned.
With the bird’s speed, after another hour of flying, I can finally see an island with my Divine Vision.
“I can see an island which might be the bird’s destination. I’ll stop casting air magic now. The effect will continue for a while but we still need to be careful. Spot, don’t stop using your camouflage skill,” I said.
“I won’t. But if it’s a Magicless Area, then the camouflage skill can’t be used. And it’s the first time we go there, so I think it’s best if you just run instead of riding me,” Spot suggested.
“Alright. Turn smaller then.”
Like we usually do in the past, Spot is now wrapping his body around my waist while using his camouflage skill.
If that city has something that block us from using magic, then Spot’s transformation will be undone and he will turn back to his original size. And without camouflage skill, everyone can see him.
But if I walk, and if I use air magic at all time on my surrounding, I can sense where magic is being blocked. And we can avoid that place then.
The closer I get, I can start seeing some people in that island. There’s also an old castle which should be belong to the former kingdom of... whatever its name was.
I split up from the bird and look for an empty place to land in the island.
Then before I started investigating, I sent a post to the forum so everyone can read it.
[Landed on an island north of Varadis which should be an old kingdom during Halley’s era. We’ll start investigating now so there might not be anymore post from me]
What should we check now? The water in the sea is deep, so if I want to check what monsters live there, I need to swim deeper. But even then, there are many weaker fishes or monsters. If they noticed me, and they are contracted monsters, then I will get found out.
For now, my goal is to follow where that bird will stop. Who is the bird’s master. Maybe I can get some information from the bird’s master.
The bird is entering a castle and landed on the hand of a man there. Is he the bird’s master?
From the look of it, it seems like they don’t know that I’m here. But I can’t see the master’s face unless I want to get caught.
At least I know where the bird’s master is sleeping at. I can go there later.
Let’s see what I can get from this place before I called the others.
