Chapter 715: The Three Summoners of the Cult

In fear, the three people answered all of Albert’s question honestly. Albert even asked them one by one to see if there’s any differences between the three’s information. But so far, none of them spoke lies. Albert’s ability to detect lies have never been activated.

The three people have three separate transfer points. Not in the same place. Which makes sense.

The three had been in this world ever since the base was created. Around two years ago. I never knew that.

Well, it’s natural since I rarely venture out around this area.

The man with the missing arm, thanks to me, had a transfer point in a small village in Arturo. They built a church there. Not a cathedral.

Seems like everyone in the village is believer of the cult. That’s why building a church or cathedral is easy.

But what about travelers? If they somehow entered that village, won’t they know that something was weird? Or maybe they got killed right away.

.....

The other man has a transfer point also in a village with a church. But this one is in Consenza’s territory. Maybe that place was where some artificial master level mages gathered before they raided the Empire. With most of them have been killed by my group.

The summoner doesn’t know anything about that raid in Consenza. He had been in this place for quite a while and he never cared about anything that happen on Earth.

Both he and the man with missing arm loved it here because they were being treated like a king. No women can refuse them and master level mages have to protect them. So they thought that they are in the safest place possible. Even though this is Monsters World with monsters several times stronger than the same species of monsters on Earth, they feel safe because they have master level mages protecting them.

As for the disfigured woman, she’s different. She’s here because of hatred.

The transfer point on Earth that she had is also somewhere near Varadis. But it’s not a village. And even if it’s called as city, it is famous as a lawless city. And the country that place belong to was not Varadis. Just another small country like Rygis.

The country was led by the Barbarian King where power rules everything. Though even with that much power, they were not able to invade Varadis at all. So they built their own kingdom since even Varadis were not able to defeat them easily unless they prepared for heavy casualties.

“Whoa, there’s such place on Earth?” I asked curiously.

“Yeah. There are few lawless cities and countries much like that where the king is the strongest person. Those places would be the last one we investigate because the can’t trust anyone. Even if we send spies to those places, the citizens of those places would kill the spies for no reason at all. We thought that if it’s you, Angela, or Kayla, it would be easy to take control of those countries. But we decided against that idea. It’s best for us to send our own troops. But we’re not that strong yet,” Albert explained.

I guess the kings have talked about it together. And since it’s not an important information for me, they decided to not tell me about it.

Well, that might be a good idea. Had I know about such things, I would go out there and be the king easily.

“But those places should be where the cult are most likely to hide, right? We even had a confirmation from her,” I said.

“The risk is too high. And if someone like you just come and terrorize those places, the cowards inside that country would try to escape and they will enter our territory. And they will end up terrorizing our citizens. That’s why we make sure to not make any move while watching their movement. Only the spies who had been there for a long time were still alive. We haven’t send any new spies there for over the last five years. And just sending reports back to us would be life-threatening,” Albert said.

“Well, that makes sense. If you need any help, I think anyone in our group would love the chance. Especially Angela and Kron,” I said.

“We’ll think about it. We have been delaying the attack so much but I guess that was a bad idea,” Albert said before he returns to interrogate the disfigured woman.

The woman doesn’t know much as she had been in this world for so long. She doesn’t care about Earth unless they send a report about something important that is happening on Earth. But the reports will be sent through the summoners who were responsible for delivering the supplies.

Albert was also curious about how they ended up joining the cult. The two men only wants to enjoy lives. And they got it.

As for the woman, it seems that she was quite beautiful in the past and she was proud of it. But one day, a royal prince of Varadis who was entranced by her beauty didn’t like how she refused his offer to be his mistress. So he pour acid into her face.

Being ugly, she couldn’t do anything but try to survive every day. And after a few days, a cult member approached her and asked her to join him. She joined, improve her level on her ice element to expert level, but couldn’t forget about who made her suffer. The cult promised her to help her with her revenge. Thanks to her usefulness in summoning element and opening a portal, she stayed here until a report come about the man who turned her life around. But the report never came.

So she just wait here. That’s all she did.

“Whoa, a royalty? Albert, was it you?” I asked Albert.

“If it was me, I would be dead already killed by my wife. And you’re the one who should know who did it. He was the prince of Varadis. Old man Henry’s son who joined the cult so he could take over the kingdom from him,” Albert explained.

“Oh, that means he’s already dead. I killed him. Well, you have no more reason to be with the cult now. But Albert will decide on what kind of punishment you will receive later. If it’s execution, don’t worry. I’ll make it painless,” I said.

Hearing that I will help with the execution, the three summoners panicked. Even the woman whom I said that her target of revenge was killed by me seems to not care about that anymore even though that was her sole reason to join the cult.

“Depend on how useful they are, they will receive different punishment. Of course even if they say that they will betray the cult, I won’t believe that no matter how true their words were. Anyway, you three know what we’re planning to do, right?” Albert asked the three.

The three shook their heads. They are too afraid to think calmly.

“It should have been obvious what we want. We want you to open a portal to the transfer point you are designated to. Write a false report that there’s another attack by the werewolves and send them through portal. That’s all we need from you,” Albert said.

“That’s it?” the man with missing arm asked.

“Yes. Here are the paper you will deliver. Just write reports normally and deliver them. After a while, write another report saying that the base is protected just like before and deliver the letter as well. That’s all we need for now,” Albert said as he gave the three several papers for them to write their reports on.

Obviously, on those papers, there’s a Blobby there. The Blobbies will disguise itself as the black ink that was used to write the letter after the three finished writing. Covering the real letter written by ink.

Just with that, and I will got three new transfer points. And we can go there anytime we want.

“Wait, before you write the letters, I need to ask you where your summons are first,” I asked.

“...Mine was out here roaming around in this world,” the man with a missing arm said.

The two others also said the same. And Albert confirmed it that they didn’t lie. So the three’s transfer points are only to Earth.

I also asked them if they have more than one summon, but they got confused since they thought that’s impossible. Well, that’s good.

First, I removed the collar on the man with missing arm. And then he smiled and summoned his monster.

“I don’t need portal to summon my monster!” he said.

That’s common sense. Portal was the common sense of the past, but nowadays, what he said is common sense.

And he summoned an Ice Giant. A gigantic monster covered with ice.

Mustache and Kayla move to protect Albert while Derek was still in shock. Not ready for what’s happening in front of him.

Well, this is Monsters World and he’s a summoner. It’s to be expected that their summoners have strong monsters. But it’s still not strong enough.

With just a slash of Victokatana, the Ice Giant was split in two and died. It was just barely moved its finger before it died.

“So, anyone else want to test me?” I asked the three summoners.

This time, the summoners have truly given up.

That’s good. Now we have transfer points to their bases.
