The goal Arthur had when going toward that continent was to find more about why they wanted to attack the continent Arthur came from, as well as the whereabout of his friends.
With the help of Signy and Helga, who would share everything they knew about it, helping Arthur to succeed at it.
He also got to know that his friends were going toward the central continent, but he found nothing about the strange beast’s invasion that was happening.
It was something that bugged him before, but now it was not the case anymore. Arthur was way more powerful now, and the only place that could have dangers was the central continent. He could walk around Phuvia like it was his house.
“So you already have two wives? You look the same age as I!” Signy said.
She was with Arthur and Helga on a ship that lead to Phuvia to Rento. It was a normal ship, not the same one he had used who had lots of mages using their magic to fasten up the travel. It would take them some time to reach it, which made Arthur bored.
Also, after Ikarus told him to sever the link between him and George, Arthur never reestablished it. He did not know why, but he felt that Ikarus’ words had a hidden meaning, and perhaps he should not trust George blindly, that is.
“We both have an oath, so there is no way he will betray me, but who knows what he will do when the oath is over?”
The moment George escaped from that place, and helped Arthur get out of that planet, the oath would be completed. There was no guarantee he would not hurt him, and that was daunting.
Arthur did not want to think about that. He was almost certain that if he reached the rank 2 of an Official Mage, the current George would not be a match to him. George was badly hurt, and it would take him some time before recovering his strength.
That fact gave Arthur a peace of mind, so he turned his focus on the important aspects.
“You two want to be teachers in my academy? I plan on giving lots of resources so that everyone who has enough talent can reach higher levels.” Arthur said.
Arthur had the plan of bringing some people with him to the central continent when he went there. His wives, of course, and perhaps Kai and Theo, two of the most talented people he knew, and one was even his disciple, although he did not teach him much.
“Would you accept us? Thank you!”
“Not only that, but I can help the two of you reach the eighth circle. After that, impress me. Even though I am going to the central continent soon, I can freely move from anywhere on this planet to my academy, so you two will not be lazy after I am gone.”
The teleport spell Arthur had, which was overpowered, was one thing that made him confident in making Odemore work again.
Even if he was far away, he could still return using an anchor. The academy would not be alone, and its owner would be around to make sure his students grew strong!
Well, only while he was on that planet, that is. After he left, Odemore would have to flourish alone.
“Thank you!”
They were more than happy to get a decent position in Odemore, as well as the help to reach the eighth circle. It was something the two never thought possible, or at least something that would take a long time to become true.
The trip took longer than expected, but at least no one bugged them during it, like the last time Arthur traveled by ship. After nearly a month, they were back at Rento, the city Arthur had gone to quite a few times.
“This weather is so nice! No snow or frigid cold!”
One of the first things Signy and Helga noticed was the weather change. Not that impact-full for them, as they were mages, but it was still something that made some difference.
It was their first time leaving their continent, so everything around them felt different, making all the suffering caused by days in a ship worth it!
Signy and Helga wanted to explore everything, and even though they had things to do, Arthur did not bug them for doing that.
He was also tired after the trip, so it shouldn’t be that bad to breathe some fresh air and enjoy the moment. Embercoast was also near Rento, so they slowly walked towards it, seeing the nature and also rest along the way.
When they got closer to the city, both girls had their mouths wide open! They weren’t used to those types of buildings, and the cities from where they came from weren’t that big!
Arthur smiled after seeing their reaction, and then he said, “we should go to the palace to speak up with the queen. She will be happy to hear all of that you told me.”
They made their way through the city, going straight toward the palace. The guard who was protecting the gates of the palace saw Arthur arriving, looking like a beggar with that black cloak and messy hair, but when he noticed who it was, he instantly bowed.
“General Arthur, it is an honor to see you.”
While they were walking through the courtyard of the palace, Signy got close to Arthur and whispered, “you have a magic academy and are also a general? Why am I not surprised?”
Everyone who saw them bowed in respect for the general. Arthur nodded in response, acting like a genuine leader, heading directly toward the throne room to speak with Melinda.
The beautiful queen was sitting on a throne, and when she saw Arthur, she was surprised.
“Arthur? You returned so quickly! And who are these two lovely women you brought with you?”
“Queen,” Arthur bowed, and then said, “about these two, you will be surprised.”
All of them went to a separate room where Signy and Helga told the queen everything they knew about the invasion, as well as some plans to stop it from happening.
Turned out they wanted to invade Phuvia for their ores, as it was a kingdom with lots of mines. So, Melinda prepared to prevent such invasion from happening, as she now knew most of the strength the enemy had.
Also, it would be the best if the invasion never happened. Melinda would try to set an agreement with them, perhaps proving ores for something else.
Signy and Helga were almost certain the opposition would accept such an agreement, which gave Melinda a peace of mind.
Arthur was feeling good that one problem was out of the way, but the strange beast invasion was still happening, but Melinda told him it had weakened a lot, and the beasts did not seem endless anymore.
Everything was working out, but what was more important was to check how his wives were doing.
He was not feeling like sending them a message, as a surprise would be more fun! The surprise would make their night even spicier.
