Capítulo 29: Chapter 29
Once I came back to Umbala I start searching for Peter, It is strange to see so many people in the place, when talking to them it seems there is a strange rumor circulating in Comodo: there is a forgotten path somewhere near north Comodo. At the end of the path, there is a giant tree from which treasure springs forth. It has been said: "Men ruled by avarice will obtain treasure. But men who are not will be led to a new world."
Hearing what they said I just thought 'shit', no wonder there are several groups that don't look like normal adventurers and more like ruffians taken from a post-apocalyptic anime. It doesn't help that a few weeks ago someone found a wood-carving ornament in Luanda, the north cave of Comodo. Scholars examined the ornament and concluded that the ornament was from the tree in the legend. When this was announced, people were again reassured that the legend could be real.
According to what the other adventurers tell me, they explored the north of Comodo, as well as the swamp, finding more ornaments and masks, which they quickly associated with the place of the legend. It also didn't help much that several groups of adventurers financed by the Kingdom began explorations in the area.
And as expected some groups have begun to antagonize the inhabitants infuriated with the revelation that the treasures that were described in the legend were nowhere to be found. And apparently this is where the good Peter came in trying to stop the adventurers before something bigger happens... Apparently everything has stopped for now, but they clearly are just waiting for him to leave to strike again.
After gathering some information I headed to find Peter, who is meeting with the chief Karkatan of the Utan tribe, apparently he is teaching him Midgardsian the official language of the Kingdom, which until now I didn't even know existed... I really have to start studying more about the world in which I live.
"Leonhard!? Ho- Whe-... Welcome back, it's good to see you again my friend!!" Seeing me Peter immediately gets up to hug me, without a doubt he is someone worth having as a friend.
"I just got back, I'm just a little tired but from then on I'm in perfect condition, Peter." Huh? Why is the Chief of the tribe looking at me like that?
"You are clearly alive, but you have the smell of Gjöll and not only that, you also crossed Gjallarbrú, how could you enter and leave the Kingdom of the Dead?" The Chief Karkatan starts talking in Utan saying many weird things...
"This smell, The witch of the Moon Charm!! Not only that, you have another smell... The witch of the Nine Realms!!?? How the hell are you still alive!" Karkatan out of nowhere began to smell me and became more and more agitated, until the moment came when he was practically petrified.
I just stare at him, wondering what I should do, Peter for his part is also surprised by the way Karkatan reacted when he saw me, luckily he doesn't understand the language so he has no idea what's going on, I start to move my hand in front of Karkatan's face but he doesn't react, so I decide to put my hand on his shoulder and when I do, he comes to and immediately prostrates himself before me.
"Forgive my impertinence, Lord of the Dead, I do not mean to offend you or Lady Hel-" before he can continue I put my hand over his mouth and look at him, I don't know why he thinks I'm the Boss monster of Niflheim.... I probably have some of his scent on me, but something tells me that under no reason should I impersonate him
"First of all, no, I'm not a representative of Niflheim, so don't worry and don't keep bowing down to me, second, I'm... 'close friend' of Moon charm and Nine Realms but I don't represent their will" I wonder what she would do if he knew how 'close' I am to them... although Kirkena never told me her witch title, I remember that I saw a symbol in her house and she told me that it represented the Nine Worlds and Realms of Yggdrasil or something like that, so I assume it's her... So how powerful is she really? Having a title like that, she must be one of the big women of the place. At least she didn't kill me after all the things I did to her...
After 'cleaning up' the misunderstanding, the Chief Karkatan decided to make me a member of the Utan tribe of Umbala, Peter asked me what was wrong and I simply explained that he was surprised that I came back from Niflheim, which Karkatan supported. So we managed to convince Peter that nothing was wrong.
After we parted ways with Chief Karkatan, I returned the stone to Peter, so he was more excited about it than continuing to wonder what we meant before, so we spent the rest of the day looking at what I recorded from Niflheim, apparently only I find rare that a stone works as a projector too... and luckily I avoided all the trouble of having to explain each photograph thanks to the fact that I wrote a diary/log about the place, of course I did not mention anything about the girls, and the few photos I took of the inhabitants I took as if I were hiding. Good Job me.
Anyway, when I asked him why there is so many adventurers in the place, it turned out that the King give another mission after he lost a large contingent of soldiers, it seems we are the first adventurers to return from the tree. Peter only found that out yesterday, and as far as he knows the contingent will arrive the day after tomorrow, so for now he's here to keep things under control.
Apparently the Prontera Sanctuary, by order of Tristan III, sent Priests and Crusaders to lend their assistance. Well-experienced Sages from Juno's Schweicherbil Magic Academy also joined the throngs of adventurers to explore and investigate what lay beyond the tree of Umbala. And more specifically I am the first adventurer to return alive and sane after entering the depths of the place. Although I was more surprised to see that a quest was completed.

'Wow, I finally got a title that's worth it!

' And not just complete a secret quest, even complete the quest given by the King without knowing about it? Or it will be because I know the King therefore I can accept his Quest without problems... I will have to experience this later.

So with nothing else to do and since Peter is making more observations of the photographs, I get ready to go back to the castle and see how the girls are... now that I remember if I use teleportation where will I go back? There is no save point with Kafra here let's try it... before I go save the coordinates of this place and now [Teleport]
[Teleport MAX Lv : 4/4 Skill Form : Active Type: Supportive Target: Immediately
Description : Warps the user to a different location instantly. This skill can't be disabled or blocked.
[Lv 4] : Warps to Map, Save Point, Save World and Save Dimension, Consumption: 90]
An options box appears in front of me, apparently the same as in the game, however, how can I change the showed options...
[1- Random
→2- Interdimensional Store]
Hmmm, I remember that when I use the butterfly wings I return to the place where I was last, what difference is using [Teleport] to that, when I imagine Prontera the option appears in my menu, so does it work with imagination? I will experiment with it together with the girls to discover their secrets. Right now I don't want to think too much about it.
So I start to think about the castle and I'm going to see how things are going with the girls, when I arrive everything seems in order, A beautiful blue sky, a beautiful room with a beautiful castle, from what I see the girls are not here since they are not shown on my map, only some are in the mansion the rest are in the forest... nothing seems to go wrong.
*Rumble*.
Yes, everything is in order I don't think there is a problem with the smoke that comes out the direction of the walls must be something they are cooking... yes, a kitchen that even dyes the sky red because of the fire on the horizon...that tremor is just one of the normal movements that the earth makes from time to time, hahaha.
*Rumble*.
Sigh... I guess I have to see what the hell is going on, so I get ready to walk towards the wall, the first thing that surprises me is that there are only about 20 people on it, talking among themselves and from time to time a magician throws a Meteor Storm at least in the now almost 15 minutes it takes me to reach the wall they have only cast the spell 2 times.
'Let's see what's happening... shit, what's that damn smell...' I decide not to alert the others and climb one of the towers that has arrow slits so I can see without going up to the top, when I look outside... great zombie apocalypse, an Orc Zombie Apocalypse.
'Well it's natural I guess, they took hundreds of thousands if not millions of their fallen back, and the Orc Dungeon exists, it easily can be a problem and this is the result, well nothing happens no matter what they do now they are more stupid that before and we have walls of more than 10 meters high, so it will not be a problem.' Without further ado I decide not to alert the defenders and proceed to return to the castle.
Even if they manage to get past the outer wall we have the inner wall and at that point all the castle defenders will be activated and we can easily finish them off. The only problem would be the diseases... at the moment they are incinerating them I hope it doesn't create a major problem in the long term, although from the number of orcs I saw there must only be a few tens of thousands.
Unless an horde of millions arrives... I guess I'd better organize pre-emptive strikes, at least that way I can prevent them from polluting the water if any of them fall into a river or worse, end up in the underground river system... personal note only drink water from the system until I can test the water of the well.
Finally I return to the castle and return to the mansion where Nambra, Aphine and Evangeline receive me, so I spend the day with them until the others return, at nightfall Lilinaya attacks me again in my room, although this time to play video games together and finally fulfilled one of my dreams? or well at least one of the dreams of the others in my head, playing video games hugging a girl in your arms.
'I wonder if she dressed like that because she knew we would be like this or she just doesn't need to put up defenses in front of me anymore?' Lilinaya is dressed in her pajamas that are only a thin white tank top that show her under boobs when she raise her arms and black shorts, she is clearly not wearing underwear as usual.
'But I still don't understand her way of acting, right now she's the airhead Lilinaya enjoying what we do and whenever we're alone she acts cold and calculating so I don't exactly understand her changes...' We finish the game and she leans against my chest, and sighs, she lost in the fighting game glad that she can almost beat me even though of course I'm not playing her seriously.
'Now that we've finished the game, she's the calculative Lilinaya again, analyzing everything that happened, is it really the same personality or does she really have multiple personalities? I'll have to read some psychology books, I don't want her to have problems in the future since the changes are too fast to be normal.' I leave the control between her legs and start to touch her ears, it is my prize for winning and I will not leave my prize aside, It's a pity that I can't see her flushed face well.
'Although I have to spend time with the rest of the girls too, so far the only ones I spend most of my time with are Lilinaya, Nysynea, Epianne and Akhene and in other cases I don't even know much about them like Nambra, Berit and Alena...'
I start a new game with Lilinaya and we practically played until she fell asleep, so without further ado I also go to sleep for a bit. It's been almost 1 week since the last time I did it and I don't want to have debuffs again.
The next morning after talking a bit with Peter, who invites me to return with him to Prontera and have an audience with the King, to announce my discoveries, in the end I decide to accept, since I still need to go to Prontera to report that I stopped the orc attack, obtaining the rest of my rewards and traveling with Peter gives me the perfect excuse to take longer to go there.
At sunset the contingent of the Kingdom arrives who quickly take control of the place, Peter spoke with his commander, in my case I was happy to remain in the shadows, but it was not until the next day that we finally started our way back, luckily we hardly found any enemies on the way, apparently the huge number of Adventurers and Soldiers scared or annihilated them, so I can enjoy the peace and quiet hopefully everything continues like this.
'I wonder if I can convince the King not to attack Niflheim... although I have to ask Ruri and Kirkena what to do first...' As we walk I wonder what to do, if my relationship with those two advances even if they act as NPCs later I'm going to bring them back to the castle, so that Ruri knows Midgart and the blue sky.
'Come to think of it, why the hell did I only find one Loli Ruri? There weren't many of them in the game, but I'm sure there were several... why...'
*Rumble*
'Sigh... I'm supposed to have thousands luck points, why the hell I can't spend a single week quietly....'
