Chapter 335 Invitation (1)

In the end, Billy enjoyed those two months of freedom and peace as much as possible. He tried to teach some words to Hector and Christina, but they never tried to say anything aside from 'Dah' when they were with him. At least Hector didn't look that displeased anymore when Billy was nearby. He feared that he might become a difficult child in the future…

In any case, when the time came, Billy went to pick up everyone, and he frowned that once he was back in the capital, Jean and Pierre were at his home as well. As if they wanted to tag along…

"Wait, don't tell me…" Billy said.

"Rosalie and Gilles also want to tag along, Aura too… but they won't be able to make the trip unless they come with us," Jean said. "I had mentioned that to Kate, though…"

"I forgot to mention, didn't I?" Kate asked while forcing a smile.

"They are so big already… Can I carry them?" Gerald asked.

"Of course, father," Kate said and then passed Christina to him.

"Well then, leave Hector to me," Lucy said.

"Hey, what about us?" Camilla asked while furrowing her eyebrows.

"At least act like an adult in front of your children…" Anna said and then sighed.

Everyone was too oblivious to worry about Billy's concerns. He felt like a bus driver to a bunch of weirdoes, and it was a bit troublesome that his parents were a part of the crew. In any case, one or two people going with them would change nothing… Hopefully.

By using his tunnels, Billy reached Rosalie's home in a single night, even though his magic cart was going slower due to the extra weight of so many people. They could have continued the trip, but Billy decided to stop and rest there during the day. There was no need to raise rumors about the fact that so many important people were leaving their states to see people punching each other.

"Billy, is your new dungeon difficult?" Samuel asked.

"It is a bit too soon for you guys to go there… and what happened to big bro?" Billy asked.

"That is too childish," Samuel said.

"Only a child would worry about acting childish.

Samuel didn't like to hear that, but he couldn't complain since he could see Billy's point. Samara wasn't worried, wasn't she? He was more focused on playing with the babies. It was weird, given that she didn't ask to hold them a single time. Billy thought that girls at her age would love that. Maybe she was too nervous for that.

"The trip is a lot more comfortable than before… is it because you changed the wheels, Billy?" Drew asked. "Didn't that decrease their durability?"

"Yes, you are right on both points," Billy replied. "Still, you can't have your cake and eat it at the same time."

"I never heard a saying like that…" Drew frowned.

As usual, men like cars. The others always asked things about the vehicle. Still, Billy kept most of the information as a secret in order to prevent them from being mass-produced. Meanwhile, the female passengers always asked the vehicle to look more cute… there were some exceptions, though.

In the end, the trip that was supposed to last more than two months using normal means, it took only one week for Billy's group, and they only traveled at night… Thanks to that, they didn't have much time to see the terrain and environment, but even the nights were quite hot, so Billy assumed that it was a state with a tropical climate. They also saw many lakes and rivers along the way, so things weren't exactly deserted. They also found some camps near those water bodies in the distance, so Billy assumed that a weird rumor would spread soon.

Kriesal state didn't have a place that they called the capital. Instead of that, they had the Coliseum. It was a place that all of the inhabitants of that state had to visit at least once. Thanks to that, many groups settled around the Coliseum, and after many years, the Coliseum city was formed. That was their destination, and as soon as Billy saw that massive building in the distance, he stopped and hid his magic cart underground. Fortunately, the sun was already rising, so they didn't have to camp.

"Phew… It is hot even so early in the morning," Jean said.

Billy used his magic to send some cold air around the group. He could tell that his kids were sweating a bit as well… And since things were pretty cool at the capital most of the year, that was necessary to avoid them getting sick. They had to hurry to find Svan and then some sort of inn. The people of that state must be used to the tropical climate, but their homes should be cool… If that weren't the case, then Billy would invent the magic air conditioner in that world for Hector and Christina.

The Coliseum city was quite weird since several settlements were created around a single building with no order whatsoever. The place looked like a maze… Even from afar, finding Svan will be a pain in the ass since many people were visiting the place for the tournament. The city had many entrances, and not a single guard was keeping an eye on the visitors, thanks to that, Billy's group arrived, and they only got a few curious eyes. Since the people that were coming didn't bring newborn kids with them.

"This might be bad… The inns are probably packed since the tournament will start in three days," Jean said.

"I don't want to draw attention, but if that is the case, then I will build a house outside the city," Billy said. "Still, Let's look around for a bit first."

In fact, building something like that will probably make Svan find them faster. Still, Billy wanted to keep their identity hidden, just in case.
