Chereads / Rise of The Crimson Empire! / Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

Haaaaah... so we finally made it to the mainland. I'm just drained of my energy. Not because I was being active but because of the sheer boredom I was facing. At first it was fun and it was a very beautiful sight seeing the sun shine on the clear crystal blue water but once you've seen it for a few hours with nothing else around you become bored.

I mean I was talking to Sylvie most of the way and I had even asked what she originally wanted to talk to me about but she stubbornly said that it must be done at the right place. Don't ask I don't know. Anyways we had travelled like that for 2 days before we reached the mainland at night.

The two gryphons had travelled the whole two days without rest but they were fine as they are magical beasts that have large stamina reserves. We only had to feed them mid flight with raw meat and some fruits that acted as their water supply.

Right now the two gryphons, Sylvie, and I are resting at a campsite we had set up quickly so that we could set of early the next morning. We also had to make sure to be vigilant due to us currently being in the holy kingdom's territory. We are located in a forest next to the coast in the holy kingdom's territory about 10 miles from the closest town. So we can't exactly sleep happily due to the chance of some people by chance stumbling upon our camp.

That said I would be able to sense if people were near by and would be almost immediately alerted to their presence. And in the event that I don't either the gryphons, Sylvie or my system (called Amy incase you forgot) would alert me so I don't have anything to worry about.

So with everything seeming in order we all slept and waited for first daylight to embark on our journey yet again. So I'll see you in the morning *yawn* well night.

~Meanwhile in the holy kingdom's capital~

-Father I have come as you requested. May I ask what it is you need of me?

I turned towards the voice of my dear son who is kneeling on the floor while addressing me. My name is Albrecht Crystal and I am the pope of the holy kingdom. My son before me is called the Alexandria Crystal and he much like I did will eventually take over my position as pope one day. He is the successor of my self.

But enough about that I should move onto the topic at hand.

-The reason as to why I have called you my son is that the light goddess Aria has given us a mission to help keep the peace of the world. A filthy non-human has managed to gain a lot of power and that threatens the peace of the world. The 'thing' must be put down to help out goddess keep the peace of the world.

These words that I am telling my son are sacred order that were passed down by the brilliant and beautiful goddess of light Aria. As such we will complete this mission that she assigned us with everything we have.

-So my son I will allow you to lead this mission and kill the thing that defies our goddesses way. From what our goddess had told me the target is a beautiful women with silver hair in colour and red eyes. I trust you to be able to kill all with these characteristics child or elderly alike. Leave none.

-Yes father I shall complete the mission that you have assigned me with even if it costs my life. The b***h won't even know what hit her until she meets the devil in hell.

-Hmm good now go and fulfil your role and do it well.

After staying these words Alexandria left the room to do his job. I have full confidence in his ability to do so, after all not only is he my successor he is also the strongest holy knight to offer. He will compete his mission and serve our goddess Hahahaha.

Morning everyone! So it's the next day now and Sylvie was already up preparing to depart. I got quickly changed, ready to mount the gryphon and depart once again. As I had said before we were to head to the demon empire just before the meeting was to take place.

I'm actually quite excited to visit the demon empire and see if I may be able to stay in their country for a while. I'm mainly going to ask for permission to attend the academy. I can't wait.

-Iris would it be okay to do a slight detour while travelling? I want to take you somewhere and talk to you.

Of course when she had asked me this I had no objections so we both headed off in the direction that Sylvie was taking us. I wonder what it is she wants to talk about? I know she has been wanting to do so for a while now and I guess I'll find out soon.

Well I'll guess you lot will find out next time so for now I'll see you all later!
