Reunion of the Two Old Allies | Vermilion & Azeed

Beginning the Progress

| North Continent/Demon Nation |

HELLO AGAIN, MISS SARION.

The Counter Registry of Doregor's lodging greeted.

Hello too, Sir, I'm here to stay in our previous room.

I said.

WILL DO.

He said.

Since the King allowed us to have our own room here free of charge, either I or Sune can stay here if we want,

The reason why it's free is because of me giving them so many Inkoroot fruits that I myself cultivated them and with little to no effort.

The secret of it will be kept by me for the time being, I don't know the rest of the reason, since it's not very reasonable of them to give us a free room in such a prestigious lodging just because of that.

I've set my room up, before heading into my room, I went out to meet the King once more.

I'm just gonna be appointing an item leasing schedule with him instead of an actual face-to-face meeting.

I then went to the kingdom castle and went to the secretary's office then appointed that schedule.

I WILL GET BACK TO YOU IN A MOMENT, I SHALL GIVE THIS REQUEST TO MY LORD.

The Demon Secretary said.

Sure.

I responded.

I don't have any real basis, but I heard the Demon secretary from here to the throne room just to the right, telling the King of my appointment.

MY LORD, MISS SARION HAS RETURNED AGAIN.

The Demon Secretary said.

SERIOUSLY, WHAT DOES SHE WANTS NOW?

The King asked.

It's as if he said that like he's eager to see me, even if it's phrased differently.

SHE APPOINTED AN ITEM LEASING SCHEDULE AND SHE WANTS TO LEND THE HISTORY OF AXIS CONTINENT BOOK.

She said.

INTERESTING, I WILL GIVE IT TO HER MYSELF, TELL HER TO COME IN.

The King said.

After hearing that, I stood up from my chair and met the Secretary from the door.

MISS SARION, GOOD, THE KING IS AWAITING YOUR PRESENCE.

She said.

Alright, I shall head there then.

I said and headed to the King's office.

I bet that lady is thinking why I'm at the door.

I then entered the King's office.

MISS SARION.

He called.

He's stood up on his chair, and at the right corner where his books are stored.

Good evening, King.

I greeted.

AH, YES, GOOD EVENING AS WELL, I HEARD YOU ARE IN NEED OF THE BOOK OF AXIS CONTINENT'S HISTORY, CORRECT?

He asked.

I am, I'm just gonna read it for leisure, I got nothing better to do for the night.

I said.

DO YOU NOT REQUIRE SLEEP?

The King asked.

I did, but not until I red one of the articles of that book.

I said

ARTICLE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

He asked as he gave me the book.

I guess it's fine to tell him, right VA?

The King is very confidential with every secret and important information, he does not leak them unless the informer permits him.

Good.

The characters said here, named Forcivan Dragonia, I think I might know him.

I said.

FORCIVAN DRAGONIA? HE IS THE HUMAN HERO THAT SAVED HUMANITY, BUT HE DIED MANY CENTURIES AGO.

The King said as he gives me the book.

That's what piqued my interest, I've met this guy before, back before when I became what I am now, we even became friends for half a Cycle, I don't know what happened, but I believe he went back in time? I'm kind of speculating here.

I said as I took the book.

A FRIEND OF YOURS? AND YOU TWO ARE IN A DIFFERENT TIME?

The King asked.

Seems to be, but I need to know more, what happened and how it happened.

From a different timeline but have known the man before, I thought it's only a theory, but somehow today, it may be possible.

I mumbled.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

The King asked.

I guess I'm mumbling too many words.

Nothing, well, once I found out about it, I'll let you know, King.

I said.

HMM... VERY WELL, I SHALL SEE YOU AROUND, I AM GONNA RETURN TO WORK.

He said.

I then left his office and headed out of the kingdom castle.

I arrived at the lodging and went to my room to continue reading the book.

I'm gonna need your help in some of these parts, VA.

I said.

I shall do my best.

I then started reading the book, I found out that he's not the only Hero, they are 10 of them, at least they are the ones that sacrificed their lives to save humanity.

Forcivan, or Ivan as his nickname, just like back then, his name is so friggin long, Tempo Anthem and Vigor Anthem are Trio with Joyce Anthem, but Joyce was left behind the humans to protect them.

She was the last Angonian Legion, the group name of the Hero and his aides.

That's fancy, anyway, The siblings Zup Crio and Barbara Crio, Barbara being engaged with one of them, Parter.

Veou Vega, Yvita, and the last King of humanity in the Age of War against God, Artenon Goliath, and lastly Ao Kijin? VA?

As I told you before, Ao Kijin aided Forcivan Dragonia in this war, but she ended up losing her life in the process.

Let me guess, God killed you?

Correct.

Her answering that question as is, confirms my speculation further that she is not only holding Ao Kijin's memories but also she is her.

I smartly did that so that she won't speculate that I'm trying to make her admit she is actually Ao Kijin.

Though, I already know that already.

And after carefully looking at the context here, He's not really human, but actually summoned by summoners, with Yvita leading them, I guess that sums up the reason why he was in this timeline.

I said.

Is he summoned in that timeline? And hearing it from Commander Quebec, his hair being Red means he has his game character as himself in this world too.

Those who are summoned here are gifted with the things they desire the most.

Seems fair, I bet he wanted to be Forcivan Dragonia all along.

I then continued reading the book.

This Joyce Anthem girl seems to like Ivan so much, she's doing her best as the new ruler of the New Age to spread his name and so as the others, I wonder what their relationship is, I wouldn't be surprised if they are married or something like that.

And after a few hours of reading, I learned a few about the Axis Continent, that they changed the name of the continent to Axuuhh Continent, the same name as the World since it is the biggest continent in the world.

I also learned that it was already morning when I looked at the window.

What the heck? Time flies, as they do say.

I said.

I then took the book and headed out to the Grand Library.

| Axuuhh Continent |

Azeed, Mina, Nico, Kenny, Shiro, and Kai went to the throne room of the kingdom castle to bid their farewell to the Queen and the others.

Queen Vel, we're here to say farewell.

Azeed said as they enter the throne room.

Queen Vel?!

Mildred thought, asking in shock after hearing how Azeed calls the Queen.

Right, I remembered you will be leaving, can I asked how long will you be away?

The Queen asked.

Not sure, we'll be leaving this Continent, I believe we'll be out for many Moons, I'm not really sure.

Azeed said.

Are you not taking Mildred with you?

The Queen asked.

No, we're good, besides, it's the outside world, we might probably encounter many troubles that we don't know.

Azeed said.

Fair point.

The Queen said.

Does she not want me to go? Or maybe she wants me to stay?!

Mildred thought, speculating.

Anyway, I've already appointed many guardians around that could defeat even the strongest of dragons, the brute of monsters, and the destructive force of Demons, they should be enough to protect the Blakend Kingdom, right?

Azeed asked.

Yes, but how about your establishment?

The Queen asked.

That won't be a problem, I've appointed Gazelle to lead it for now with many of the assistants that I gifted to her, and my Mansion will be hidden and sealed, for now, nobody will be going there temporarily.

Azeed explained.

Very well, very well.

The Queen said.

It seems that Queen Vel is opposed to me leaving, isn't she?

Azeed asked.

No, no, don't get it wrong, I don't want to limit or impede your wishes, since that will only lead to our destruction, but rather have you deal with your businesses in your own way and not get in the way of it, really.

The Queen said.

But?...

Azeed asked further.

But of course, you're known as the Guardian of this kingdom, and I don't want you to leave because many other kingdoms will abuse your absence, and of course, I love your company around this Kingdom, despite you not visiting me here every now and then.

The Queen said.

Cute.

Mina thought.

Looks like Queen is in love with our Master...

Nico thought, cheerily.

Hahaha, don't worry too much because we set this kingdom as our home base, and once we returned from the outside, we'll be teleported here.

Azeed laughed, as he explains how they can go back here.

Wait.

Mildred thought.

Can you do the Home Point Magic, Sir Azeed?

Mildred asked in shock.

Mildred was surprised that Azeed could cast magic at such a high level.

Yes, I can, it's simple for someone like me, of course, it's a different matter for someone who doesn't know what type of magic I'm casting.

Azeed said.

Is it different?

Mildred asked.

Oh, it's different.

Nico said.

Distance different from what you believe.

Mina added.

Okay, understand.

Mildred said.

Anyway, We'll be leaving, Queen Vel, I shall see you soon, once our task is done.

Azeed said.

Very well then, be careful, I don't know what I'll do if someone outside could defeat our respected guardians.

The Queen said.

Azeed then left the throne room and as he left...

If that ever happens, I'll have my servants return here immediately and guard this place with their lives whatever it takes.

He said as his servants follow him out.

Not like that will happen in a million years.

Mina thought.

They then went out of the kingdom castle and went their way to the exit gate of the kingdom.

That's not so bad, I'm gonna miss this place, but I am very well eager to explore around the world, and now is a good time to do it.

Azeed said.

Is it because the Inhuman warriors you are looking for is not showing up in your store?

Mina asked.

You're on fire today, Mina, don't rub that in on me, I thought it is a good idea up until it wasn't, it will work, but we'll have to wait for many years for that to happen.

Azeed said.

Do not worry, it will work, Master!

Nico said, cheering him up.

That's good to hear.

Azeed said.

They then left the Blakend Kingdom.

Kai, what location is the nearest Continent we can dock at?

Azeed asked.

Depending on this World Map, only the North and South Continent are the closest to the Axuuhh Continent.

Kai said as he is looking at the World Map Azeed lent to him.

Where are we closest then?

Azeed asked.

The North Continent, where the Nation of Demons is.

Kai said.

Very well, we shall head there, if we're gonna visit the outside world where all the strongest beings are, then we should test the power of the known powerful Demons themselves.

Azeed said.

I believe their Nation is known to be one of the most prosperous ones of all the Nations that exist.

Shiro said.

You red your books fine, Shiro.

Azeed said.

Of course, I will not be here if I'm not fit to be.

Shiro said.

You all are fit to join this excursion we're doing, even Gazelle, but I respect her decision to not go so I won't bother.

Azeed said.

You are very thoughtful, Master.

Mina commended.

Of course! Anyway, Kai, will we be bumping on to any kingdoms on the way there?

Azeed asked.

Yes, though, it's still very far, and I hope it won't be very difficult for the Master, but it's Kingdom, where Naomi is confined.

Kai said.

You don't have to remind me of that, Kai, I am the one that placed her there, and I'm not one that holds grudge, Nico, is it fine for us to pass through the Kingdom?

Azeed asked Nico.

What do you mean? Of course, it is, I've already settled things with Naomi, remember? Besides, she's powerless against us, even if she regains her previous powers back.

Nico said.

They then headed to the North Of the Axuuhh Continent, but before that, they will visit the Kingdom, where Naomi is confined as the Guild Master forever.

The Kingdom where the story of Azeed began.
