Chapter 18 - 18.Wargame preparation-aftermath

================Roy pov=============== I looked at unconscious bell in my arms and sighed, actually I arrived here way earlier, before a hour or so,when I was digging the ground near lake, I found something interesting,

[Lisia's necklace (S)]

[Artifact used by princess Lisia to disguise herself]

[Conditions:

1.Can only be used by female

2.Supply mana while wearing to keep disguise on

3. no time limit, can be used forever if supplied with mana

4.Can be disguised as one person at a time

5.Can only be used by a level5 female]

[Affects: lvl1-lvl5, some magic insensitive level6]

[completely ineffective on lvl7 ar higher]

I got ecstatic for moment, but most of my excitement cooled down after knowing that it can only be used by a level 5 female, I carefully put it inside the INVENTORY, then I heard something coming towards me, it was cat guy called jonah , he came to kill him by the orders of his boss, his strength was about a level 3 adventurer, it wasn't that difficult to defeat him, after I defeated him, I interrogated him, he was stubborn and refused to give any information and I got annoyed and used 'crucio' spell and tortured him. He told that Bezos is from a dark guild accepted task of mining the high level mana stone, in return for being a direct subordinate of a famous noble , Bezos took the both cat guys because they are strong, I have also found out that Bezos is level 5 , afterwards learning his level I got panicked because if bell encountered them he will be dead meat, he may be able to defeat level 3 cat but it is not possible for him to defeat Bezos. I killed jonah before asking way to the clearing, and hurriedly made way there, I could hear the sound of battle and sense it through my kenbunshoku haki, I came to the battlefield and saw that bell is fighting against Bezos, at first I thought that I would help him but shook my head and decided against it, because if he can defeat Bezos by himself, he will surely become level 3 ,make no mistake, I am not risking bell's life, if he his life is in danger I would immediately go and rescue him, I can also give him a handicap, when bell first collided with bezos using Argonaut, I secretly created a poison dart using poison of grass snake boss and shot it on Bezos, it may not kill him but his organ's functioning will slow down quite a bit, the battle continued, I suddenly noticed that the battle is affecting their surroundings too, that includes three slaves, one werewolf girl, one amazon girl and a human guy, I sighed and slowly walked to them and moved them to other direction far from the site of battle they tried to say something but I told them to wait until end of battle, both the girls agreed but were wary of me, but I didn't care about it at all, but the one thing that is bothering me is that the human guy is looking as if I were a celebrity or idol, and has a very excited and expression on his face, I ignored him and continued watching the battle, soon I saw that

bell was in a difficult, when I was about to butt into the battle I saw a notification on status screen

=====================================

I was very excited upon seeing the reward, I felt very happy for bell for becoming lvl3, in the canon bell became level 3 after the wargame but due to my intervention, he leveled up much earlier, I also want to level up,but it can wait because my strength is incomparable to my level, I should focus on increasing my haki's strength and technique.

The battle has successfully completed with bell's victory, I went to bell and caught him when he was about to fall.I turned around to look at the three slaves and,

"look after him for time being, patch up his wounds will you do it?"(Roy)

"Yes, master I will do it"(human man)

I hand over unconscious bell to the over enthusiastic guy along with some potions from INVENTORY. Leaving the werewolf and amazon girls who had complicated expressions, I walked towards half dead Bezos,

"W h...o?"(Bezos)

"level 2 adventurer "(Roy)

"Kill....m..e....it....h...ur...t..s"(Bezos)

"Okay, I will kill, but first tell me, who sent you to mine here and kill us, if you don't I will keep you alive and torture you"(Roy)(took out wand)

"Do....n't,...I.. ts....el...f...kin...gdo.....m..wi...s.d...om"(Bezos)

"Damn it, poison killed him, before I could get his name, but this is related to elf kingdom,figures! high elf's have many high ranked adventurers since they live for very long time, they must have found out about this mine,and mined it secretly with help of slaves, since this place belong to chienthrope kingdom, the mine has dried up already up, they must have doing it for a long time, may be rumours are also generated by them to prevent anyone from coming here and they must have killed everyone who has entered. But something doesn't fit right in this? well whatever let's get out of here before we come into some trouble"(Roy)(muttered)

I went to slaves who were with unconscious bell,

"Let's go, follow me"(Roy)

I took them and left the clearing area to the place where we trained, on the way we saw Jacob who has been tied up by bell, I killed him without wasting any time and proceeded to the place we trained, it is the big tree where we ate and slept at night, I asked them to hunt for food and rest , I told them that I will discuss their situation after bell wakes up, because he is the one who saved them, the human wanted to say something to me all the time but he didn't, I decided to talk to him tomorrow, I placed bell somewhat away from those slaves and I stayed near him, then after eating,

[Feelings meter]:-Can check the feelings of target towards user.

[Note:- the [Feelings meter] shows the following emotions:-

3.Relationship status]

After checking out everything, I slept.

Next morning, bell stood beside me, I have already everything that has happened yesterday to him except the part of leveling up, currently both of us stood beside each other and looked at the slaves wondering what to do with them,

"Ok, first introduce yourself"(Bell)(wry smile)

"My name is Adolpha, I am a werewolf"(Adolpha)

"My name is Marpe, amazoness"(Marpe)

"My name is Lurch,human"(Lurch)

I used [Feelings meter] on them,

=====================================

[Adolpha,werewolf]

[Loyalty:-50/100]

[Favourability:-54/100]

[Relationship status:-saviour?]

=====================================

[Marpe,amazon]

[Loyalty:-48/100]

[Favourability:-52/100]

[Relationship status:-saviour?]

=====================================

[Lurch,human]

[Loyalty:-100/100]

[Favourability:-100/100]

[Relationship status:-fanatic worship]

=====================================

I felt normal upon seeing Adolpha's and Marpe's feelings, but this Lurch guy gave me chills,his loyalty and Favourability have maxed out, even though he was saved by bell,when did he become a fanatic? I will leave the topic for now, he has 100 Loyalty that means he will never defy even if I told him to die, it is a good thing,I will take him as my subordinate,

"Lurch,Adolpha and Marpe, we belong to hestia familia which is a F ranked familia in orario, currently Bell is the only member of familia and I am going to join it after the trip, now you have 2 options first one is to change your identity and live your lives happily with freedom we won't force you to become our slaves, the second one is become our subordinates, I will train you, feed you, make you strong, you will have your freedom but you have to obey my orders, are you okay with it bell?"(Roy)

"Yeah,I am fine"(bell)

"I Lurch, am willing to dedicate my life to the cause of the master"(Lurch)(Tearing up)

All of use were speechless for a moment, seeing Lurch tearing up, then

"What jobs will you make us do?"(Adolpha)

"Don't worry, you will know in future , jobs will be related to being adventurers"(Roy)

"Okay, I swear my allegiance to you, so,who will be my master, among you two?"(Marpe)

"Of course, it's Roy"(Bell)

"Bell?"(Roy)

"You want to become a king right? a king should have capable subordinates, don't worry about me, I am satisfied with what I have."(Bell)

"Ok then, this is where my journey starts, Marpe you will be my subordinate, you can call me whatever you want"(Roy)

"Yes master"(Marpe)(expression less)

"Me too, I wear swear my allegiance to you, but if I am dissatisfied by you, I will leave?"(Adolpha)

"That's ok with me"(Roy)

"You're ok with that? If I leave in the future, I might expose your secrets you know?"(Adolpha)(teasing)

"Then I should make you never leave me then, I will make you work for me for a lifetime"(Roy)(cocky smirk)(wink)

"Y--y-es, maa-ster"(Adolpha)(turning red)

"You already have Aiz right?"(Bell)

"don't you have lili and eina?"(Roy)

"N---o..I.."(Bell)(turning red)

"What, should we do now master?"(Lurch)

"Train, stay in ursus in orario's sector and train for a week, I am going to come for you in a week and take you to orario"(Roy)

"Aren't you afraid that we will run away "(Marpe)

"No, I am not because,Loyalty is important

for me, if you run away I won't mind because I am not restraining you, but I can surely say that if you run away,you will miss a exciting and blissful life"(Roy)

"Ok master"(Marpe)(smile)

All of us came to orario's sector next, I brought them a room for each in a inn, Bell gave them all his savings which would help them sustain for a week, I am very grateful to him, before leaving I had a small private talk with Lurch, he told that he would conquer kingdoms for me, destroy my enemies and much more nonsense for 10 minutes nonstop before I stopped him, I got information from him that there was also a half elf slave along with them, I went to the place to check again his presence or corpse, but I didn't find any them, I rested in the inn for the night, next morning I took bell and left ursus leaving behind a confident Lurch, smiling Marpe and slightly red Adolpha,

[1 day before the wargame]

"We are going to reach orario in a hour or two, are you excited for tomorrow's game?"(Roy)

"Yes, I am going to defeat them"(Bell)

Just then I got a notification,
