Few days have already passed since the last nation leaders meeting. During this week, Angus should be back at his academy.
However, as the creator of Miasma Curing Potion and the only one that could heal Miasma-based wounds, he needed to go to the Orces Kingdom to look into the King Nexus's wound.
As the wound is from the Monster Overlord, many unforeseen accidents may happen during the medication. So, He needs to make sure that his potion could heal the wound.
To hide Angus's identity he will attend as the young assistant of Master Valeron. Up till now, no one knows who is the one that created the potion.
But, one thing is clear is Master Valeron is one of the people that help in creating the potion as the head of Heart Kingdom research center.
Such a big secret project happens in the Heart Kingdom, Master Valeron must be involved in it. Since the cure is still not published yet, no one knows about the cure yet besides the two kings, Master Valeron, and Duke Victory.
They decide to camouflage Angus's identity by emphasizing Master Valeron who is already famous in the circle of researcher and expert.
At first, they planned to announce the potion during the war with Monster Overlord since many people will need such a life-saving potion. However, they didn't expect that Monster Overlord would be killed so early before the true war start.
Because of this, they could only sell the potion slowly like an exclusive item. This way they could bring more profit for the Heart Kingdom.
Just from this deal alone, Heart Kingdom already got a lot of benefits such as money, artifacts, items, part of Monster Overlord's corpse, and other stuff. By dealing like this, the potion will become more exclusive.
This way the potion price will go down very slow. By the time it reached the common market, the Heart Kingdom already got enough profits from it. Because of this, the deal with the Orces Kingdom is very important for the Heart Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, the one that planned this came from a few high-ranking nobles. This shows one of the strong sides of the human race.
Although the human race is not as strong as some species like Demon, Elf, Dwarf, and many others. They are quite versatile and wise in this kind of play.
Even the greediest race such as goblins will never think of such a long-term plan like this. In Firuman, the human race is famous for being average but few people know that they have boundless wisdom in terms of long planning.
This is also one of the reasons why the human race has a large population and occupies many fertile territories compared to other races.
Now, Angus is gathered at the royal palace teleportation device with his father, Master Valeron, and few other high-ranking people.
While waiting for the staff to tune the teleportation device, "So, how is the academy life?" asked Duke Victory to his son.
"Great, make some new friends and learn something every day." replied Angus shortly.
"Making some new friends, huh?" asked Jacob again doubtfully.
"Yeah, is there something wrong with it?" asked Angus back.
"Well, I don't know. It seems that you are the type that is too busy learning or 'creating' something." said Jacob while emphasizing the creating part.
"Oh.. come on. I may be a bookworm but I am still a young man that needs some friends to socialize with." rebuked Angus.
"Hmm… Indeed.. a young man. At least that part is true according to the story that I heard not too long ago." said Jacob in a teasing tone.
"Err… What do you mean?" asked Angus while looking at his father's teasing face.
"Well, I just heard a story from a friend of mine where you asked for someone's hand in front of her father." said Jacob.
"Wait… How did you... Ahh.. Forget it." said Angus.
"Hahahaha… At least you make this old man proud once in a while." said Jacob.
"Hey, since when this is a proud matter." said Angus.
"Well, you usually always create an absurd situation or matter that leads to a headache situation like this time." said Jacob.
"How could you say that? Didn't we only visit the other allied country? Is it not like we will do something heinous or something right?" said Angus.
Hearing this Jacob could only sigh, "Haa… Although the Orces kingdom is one of the allied kingdoms, we never know what the other party thought. Many things could happen when we get there. All we could do is to prepare for the worst situation." explained Duke Victory.
"I see.. Don't worry. If something happens, I'm quite good at running away. I even got the title of untouchable scholar in the academy." said Angus proudly.
"*sigh* Yes, I heard about that title. I also hope that nothing will happen on this trip." said Jacob.
After a while, King Leon came to the room along with a few royal guards. Entering the room, King Leon takes a glance at Angus for a little bit before smiling and waiting for the transportation device to be ready.
At this moment, Angus's instinct once again tells him to go away as far as possible from King Leon like before. He feels that King Leon could take his life just by waving his hand. This major difference in strength makes him fear but also excited at the same time.
Fear of getting killed without properly fighting back and excited to think he will fight against such a strong opponent.
The one that will be going on this trip is King Leon, Duke Victory, Master Valeron, Angus, and two other high ranking personnel for some diplomacy job.
Six people in total will go on this trip. This is also the limit for such long-distance teleportation. Otherwise, the teleportation will become more unstable especially if there is a seventh-grade combatant in it.
After waiting for a while, the teleportation device was finally ready to be used. It takes a long time to tune it since five people will be transported along with King Leon.
So, the staff not only double-check it according to the procedure but also triple-check it or more to be sure.
"Alright, let's go." said King Leon.
The six people immediately step into the teleportation device platform. After a moment, the platform showed a bright light and humming sound. *Bzzt* A second later the group on top of the platform was gone.
Meanwhile, inside the Orces kingdom royal palace teleportation room, a loud buzzing sound was heard from it. *Bzztt* Less than a second later, a group of six people appear from the teleportation device.
Inside the room, there are already a lot of guards in battle armor. In the lead, a person is wearing high-quality clothes with a muscular body looking at the group. This person is King Nexus, the leader of the Orces Kingdom.
As the other party that comes is King Leon, a seventh-grade combatant. It is his obligation to welcome them.
Usually, a matter such as diplomacy never involves the two kings. But, since this is not an ordinary diplomacy matter, the two kings need to be there so nothing unexpected happens.
This is also customary in Firuman. If a seventh-grade combatant comes, the other seventh-grade combatant needs to welcome them, or at least the strongest available people need to welcome them.
Arriving at the Orces kingdom royal palace teleportation room, Angus feels a huge distortion effect shaking his whole body and his orientation. He feels like his head is being shaken countless times at once.
Fortunately, he still could hold his urge to vomit and slump on the ground to not embarrass himself. However, he still has a pale complexion and nausea.
"Urghh… I will never get used to this feeling." said Master Valeron while holding up his nausea.
The only people that seem fine are King Leon and Duke Victory while the other two diplomatic staff already go towards the prepared bucket and vomit all the food they have eaten.
Ignoring the two staff that are vomiting nearby, King Leon goes towards King Nexus's spot. This action immediately steals the attention of everyone inside the room. Then, King Leon stops in front of King Nexus.
The two kings glaring one with each other. The atmosphere becomes more intense and everyone in the room gets a cold sweat.
All the nearby Orces royal guard grabbed their weapon tightly and ready to fight at any moment. Even Jacob at this time also readies his hand to cast his spell anytime.
During this time, Angus speaks telepathically to Draven, "Draven, ready for shadow mode." said Angus telepathically.
"Yes, master." replied Draven shortly.
After a while of glaring at each other, which seems like an eternity for others, both of the Kings laughed.
"Hahahaha… Long time to see, Nexus." said King Leon.
"Yeah, it's been a while Leon." replied King Nexus.
The two kings begin to chat with each other like an old friend dispersing the tense situation before. Looking at the two kings chatting casually one with each other, the other people in the room begin to relax a little bit but remain vigilant.
