Chapter 336 - 336: Update from scholars part 3

[At Estel's castle]

[Alaric point of view]

Right now, in front of Princess Diana, her personal guard Qis, and the leader of Valkyrie, Bladel, both Linda and I are making a request to her highness

"Are you two sure about it?" [Diana]

""Yes!!"" [Alaric, Linda]

Knowing what Saintess Angela and the other devils are planning, Linda and I feel the same, and I'm sure Saint Louis and Seraph share our sentiments even when they're not currently here with us

Last time, six years ago, none of us could save Ash from his demise. True, he survives and Goddess Achalasia herself gave us assurance that we can save him, but now, he is currently with the devil, most probably going to be part of the devil itself. And looking at the current situation

(If they wanted to mimic the situation six years ago, then we couldn't just stand here and send his beloved siblings to certain demise) [Alaric]

Linda and I can't help but to see Ash in each one of them, and both of us are afraid... Afraid that what happen to Ash will happen to them. They're the hero, but that doesn't mean any harm wouldn't befall them. In fact, it's precisely because they're the ten heroes that Linda and I wanted to come along and make sure they're both safe and sound

Not only that, my little sister, Alicia, is also there. Even with all the odds, I just somehow knew it was her when I first saw her after a long time through the telephone. I'm glad that I was right

"Very well, but I have one condition" [Diana]

""And that would be??"" [Alaric, Linda]

She seems happy that the two of us actually make the decision to go with the heroes to the New Headquarters. I'm sure part of it is because she saw the ten heroes akin to his own siblings, but looking at his smile, I'm sure that there's more to it

"You will have to make sure she is safe" [Diana]

""!!"" [Alaric, Linda]

[At Demon kingdom castle]

[Aries point of view]

"A clone?" [New Paladin]

"That's the impression I got. Mrs Aries, that doppelganger of yours that you fought the other day, it might just be one of the many clones" [Htilorez]

"So, what you're saying is that, my original doppelganger is currently roaming around?" [Aries]

"Sorry, I'm really not sure. This is merely my impression" [Htilorez]

This is bad... That Saintess Angela, just how is she capable of such a feat? I wonder how powerful she became after becoming one of the ten devil commanders

"Saintess Angela really is a..." [Aries]

"Umm... I don't think it's her doing" [Htilorez]

""Pardon??"" [Aries, Paladin]

Both of us could'nt help but to raise our voices, which understandably causes her to flinch in anxiety. She play with her fingers before braving herself to speak once more. It might seems trivial for me, but she's facing me and my successor, both prominent figures in this country, so it's understandable

"It just that, as a doppelganger, we were often told regarding the power of the fallen devil king, the king of doppelganger, Iblis" [Htilorez]

""Iblis?"" [Aries, Paladin]

And wait, did she said, the fallen devil king? Meaning, that, the devil king, does not serve his master, the fallen god

Deactivating the Sea Serpent magic core, all of us shouted, brimming with happiness

"The simulation thus far show impressive results, which mean!" [Charlotte]

"True, we can propose it to other countries, but I suppose convincing them all will take a huge amount of time" [Erinmorlin]

"Princess Nurhaliza might give her approval at moment notice since she did keep a close eye on this project, but yes, I can't see other giving it so easily" [Qudus]

"So, we should just run more and more test, and produce consistent results with it, that will at least make it more convincing" [Karon]

Well, that seems to be the most logical steps. The simulation that we make even show the autonomous water golem created through this Sea Serpent Project can ward off monsters, but as for the devils, sadly, we couldn't get the data since we couldn't replicate the devils inside this model

Still, that doesn't mean it will be for naught. Even just defeating your everyday monsters will put a tremendous relief to the country, so that they could focus more to fight against the devils. Plus, if the model is 100% accurate, this in theory, can produce a large amount of water golem for a significant amount of time. Of course, there are various other factors that we should still count on, but I believe we are in the right step

And thus, we experiment few more times, before heading back to the orphanage. We only get few hours to rest, and we spent this time to rest properly. Grandpa Claude is helping us to refill the food and drink inside the camper van golem, only for him to be surprise that it's already packed with food and drink from both the Beastman Kingdom and Malsia. They all insist to give us as many provision as possible, so much so that Elise happily stores it inside her item box magic

"Take care and kick their asses" [Calypso]

"Come back safely" [Rafiah]

"I'll take good care of this magic core. I'll make sure Bobunny get upgraded as well with the magic core you got from the holy beast of earth" [Filvisar]

"Make sure to exercise cautious" [Claude]

"TAKE CARE!!!"

I guess they really wanted to play with us more, but they understand that we our duties as the ten heroes to fulfill

Before we start the camper van golem, Sis Diana came to meet us before alongside with

"Linda, Alaric and I, all three of us will be joining you, so please to work with all of you" [Rumia]

"I'm Alaric. Believe you only saw me before" [Alaric]

"Alaric, that introduction is a bit..." [Linda]

"What!" [Everyone]

The three of them will be joining us as well!?
