| Blakend Kingdom, Axuuhh Continent |
“I’m just here because King Ovex wants me to be with him, he was just shocked meeting you, Mr. Azeed,” Jodie said, answering Queen Velverosa’s question.
“This f*****g bastard!”
“Is that so? I am aware of the presence I’m secreting since so many people told me that there are many people told me that they’ve almost passed out meeting me for the first time since they haven’t met a being like me. Which is sad since I’ve already met many beings like me because I attract other powerful beings like me.” Azeed explained, chuckling as he remembers that time.
Remembering the time he faces the likes of Dragons, beings of unimaginable power and influence, and a few more, probably more in the future.
“I want to ignore them in the future but I bet it will not be possible now that I’ve interacted with many people of the same level.” Azeed thought to himself.
“I am just more sensitive to powerful beings unlike this man-child here. I’m sorry if I got stunned for a few seconds after meeting you, I personally haven’t met people like you, Mr. Azeed, so that’s why,” King Ovex said, reasoning with himself.
“I mean, I can’t really blame you, or have you apologized since I’ve met so many people with the same experience, you know?” Azeed said, reassuring him with a smile.
“How about you go and show them your store, Sir Azeed? They might get interested in it,” Queen Velverosa said, suggesting to them.
“Yeah, that’s a good idea! Though it has no customers yet since the Center is closed at the moment. But that just means I can personally show you around the store without anyone there,” Azeed said, standing up from his chair.
“That is a treat for us.” King Ovex also stood up.
“Where is this store of yours, Mr. Azeed?” Jodie asked as he stands up from his chair as well.
“It’s actually in the middle of the Kingdom, which is convenient for my store since everyone in the kingdom and others that are visiting the Kingdom can see it immediately. I did build it a bit taller than other buildings around it.” Azeed headed out of Queen Velverosa’s office—followed by King Ovex and Jodie.
“There they go, at least we’ve settled a business after they left.” Queen Velverosa continued what she was writing earlier.
Azeed then took King Ovex and Jodie into his establishment after they were done with their business with Queen Velverosa.
“I hope it’s not a nuisance for you since the Center is not safe because of the construction around us, though I’m here so that’s not a problem at the moment,” Azeed said as he leads the two to his establishment.
“It’s not as if it’s bad, a construction is a construction anyway. We can’t do anything about it,” King Ovex said.
“Have you been through a renovation in your kingdom, King Ovex?” Azeed asked him, looking over at him.
“We have, Mr. Azeed, it is something we will go through eventually, though I’ve only been in one renovation so far since we were once attacked by raiders. They caused a lot of damage in our kingdom,” King Ovex said.
“Of course, we have. This f**k face. He’s definitely an amateur at this.”
“We haven’t renovated our entire country, Mr. Azeed, but not on this scale at least since we’ve just been doing individual repairs in our country,” Jodie said.
“I guess that makes sense, also, Mister is a bit longer to pronounce than Sir, so just call me Sir Azeed since everyone calls me that nowadays,” Azeed said.
They arrived at Azeed’s establishment after a few minutes of walking. They then headed inside the store.
“This is the entrance! It’s simple but it’s enough to convey the store I want to show to customers, a simple yet bright store since it’s Green themed, like what I’m always wearing. How about we go upstairs, where the Blacksmith is,” Azeed said.
“In fairness, this looks 10 times better than any of our stores if they all joined forces to make just one store. He also said there’s a Blacksmith upstairs, first of all, Blacksmiths should always be on the first floor, secondly…” King Ovex thought.
“If you have a Blacksmith then isn’t this not just a*****e?” King Ovex asked Azeed.
“It is not just a*****e. This is an establishment, King Ovex,” Azeed said, answering his question.
“Right! The name of this building that’s displayed outside their entrance is Azeed Establishment. That means this is bigger than many stores out there. Like a business level.” Jodie was surprised after Azeed said that.
“He’s doing a bigger marketing stride than all the store owners in my f*****g kingdom.”
They then went to the second floor of Azeed’s Establishment. “This is the Blacksmith, Gazelle Dwargen is working here, the one working on the first floor as attendant and registrar is Shiro, my butler.” Azeed showed the Blacksmith.
“This Blacksmith looks normal than I expected,” King Ovex said after looking into their Blacksmith.
“It’s supposed to be cleaner than this, Gazelle is a force to be reckoned with as a solo Blacksmith. Plus she doesn’t want to get it cleaned since it will ruin her energy to smith,” Azeed said.
“She must be a dedicated smith,” Jodie said.
“She is. Let’s go to the third floor, where the actual store of the building is.” Azeed headed to the teleporting pod.
“Why is your store on the third floor? Is that not gonna push people away since they need to go up 3 floors of stairs?” King Ovex asked Azeed.
Azeed then stopped at a door—the teleporting pod. “Oh! That won’t be a problem, we placed one of these on each floor of this building,” Azeed said, answering King Ovex’s question.
Azeed pressed the button of the teleporting pod, opening its door.
“Wait…”
“Is this what I think it is?” Jodie asked Azeed after seeing the pod.
“Yes, Head Jodie, this is a teleporting pod.” Azeed stepped into the teleporting pod after answering his question.
“No f*****g way!? So this is how they are connected to the Ogestic Kingdom.”
“These are the most expensive devices in the world. I mean, in the continent, I don’t know about the continent outside of Axuuhh Continent.”
More people know about the fact that the Axuuhh Continent is not the only continent in the world.
The two of them headed inside the teleporting pod and then they teleported to the third floor of the establishment.
Azeed continued touring King Ovex and Jodie in his establishment.
Meanwhile, after sunset. King Ovex’s commanders left the Blakend Kingdom’s Ring to look around its outside.
“Leader, are you sure about this?” One of the Commanders, Commander Han asked his leader.
“I am the only one that can communicate with his majesty telepathically, he told me, now that we couldn’t get inside the Blakend Kingdom’s Center, we will need to just do the 1st mission we’re given, finding an entrance to the Blakend Kingdom underground,” the Commanding leader said, answering Commander Han’s question.
“I’ve always wanted to ask, Leader. Why does the King wants to be called your Majesty instead of your Highness even though he’s a King,” Another Commander asked him.
“Is it not obvious? It’s because he’s gay,” the Commanding leader asked him rhetorically, answering his question.
They found a sewerage entrance in between the South and Southeast walls of the Kingdoms after several minutes of walking.
“We found a jackpot. Let’s get inside and map out their sewerage,” the Commanding leader said.
They then entered the sewerage’s entrance. Because they are well-versed in mapping out areas in the dark, in areas like mazes, streets, routeways, and others, they don’t need too much light to conserve their resources in areas like this. Where they can’t go out easily.
After a few hours of going around the sewerage, they managed to map out the sewerage of the Blakend Ring.
“They have patterned sewerage for perfect water passageway, that’s smart. But they gave us an easy job here,” the Commanding leader said after they were done routing the Kingdom’s sewerage.
They then left the sewerage and headed back inside the Blakend Ring. The Commanding leader reported to King Ovex after the night arrived through telepathy.
“There is a patterned sewerage under the Blakend Kingdom’s Ring, your majesty, but there is no entry to the Blakend Ring, unfortunately,” the Commanding leader said, reporting to King Ovex.
“That’s understandable, keep looking but be careful, their security is very strong here, unlike anything you’ve seen, so you need to be your most careful out there, do not let them get you, cover yourselves and run if need be so that they can’t at least recognize you,” King Ovex said, responding as he gives them orders.
“Understood, your majesty,” the Commanding leader said, following his orders.
The connection was cut after they were done talking.
“What did the King say?” Commander Han asked him.
“To be our most careful since their security here is very powerful, unlike anything we’ve seen,” the Commanding leader passed King Ovex’s message.
“I wonder how powerful he’s saying,” Commander Han said.
“If we’re talking about King Ovex, then he must’ve asked about the barrier that they raised over this kingdom,” another Commander said.
“How will we look for an entrance through the Center in here?” The Commanding leader asked himself as he looks at their big window.
Going back to the Blakend Center. Azeed showed King Ovex and Jodie the rooftop of Azeed’s establishment.
“This s a great view of the Blakend Kingdom’s surroundings,” King Ovex said as he looks around the Blakend Center.
“I know, this is where I relax since things can get very tiring and exhausting even though someone like me can’t get tired for a whole week without sleeping. I guess sometimes the mind overpowers whatever physical power you have in you,” Azeed said.
“I say that all the time whenever someone asks me why I always stay here, of course, I don’t repeat that if they already know.” Azeed watches the sunset.
“I wonder…”
“I heard about the new barrier you summoned over the kingdom from the people in my country that saw it, how strong is your barrier, Sir Azeed?” Jodie asked him
“I didn’t think to ask that, I’m just f*****g mauling over the beauty of this sunset,” King Ovex thought.
“It’s stronger than you think or expect. We’ve been attacked twice now by powerful beings and our previous barrier so we needed a newer barrier, a stronger and powerful one.” Azeed said, answering Jodie’s question.
“Mina, can you give these gentlemen a demonstration of how strong this barrier is?” Azeed requested Mina using telepathy.
“Will I summon a dummy clone outside the barrier and attack or should I keep one inside to think of malicious intent?” Mina asked Azeed first, responding to his request while she was helping in the Blakend Center’s renovation.
“Uhh… yes…” Azeed said, answering Mina’s question with hesitation.
“I guess he wants both.” Mina thought after ending their telepathic call.
Mina then went to Azeed’s Establishment’s rooftop to demonstrate the Barrier’s abilities. She then cloned two weak dummies, the one dummy flew up just outside the barrier to attack the barrier with the intent to attack the Blakend Kingdom, and the other one is inside to think of malicious intent.
“She has clones more than one!? Now that I noticed it, there are more f*****g clones around us that are helping in the construction of the Center, is that how powerful she f*****g is, or is there more since her Mana is definitely not drained at all?” King Ovex is shocked again.
The first dummy was burned out of existence. Though it’s not appropriate to call it burned since the Grand Dragon’s Barrier has black flames, which means it doesn’t generate heat to melt an enemy but it melts enemies with half pure Mana, the dummy inside the barrier was burned the same as well.
*CLAP* *burn*
“Holy s**t!” King Ovex was surprised by the noise of the Barrier’s firing power.
“That sound indicates us—including the guards that an enemy is attacking the Kingdom, the louder the sound, the more enemies there are,” Azeed said, telling them about the Barrier’s abilities.
“I’m not messing with this man or anyone in this kingdom!” Jodie is scared. But he didn’t show it.
