I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 32: Advance to Roundel

Chapter 32: Advance to Roundel

While Angus lay in his bed peacefully without care of the world, Duke Victory back to the Grand Palace. There are still a few days before the meeting at the Roundel city.

However, the whereabouts of 7th grade beings are very sensitive. Because of this reason, the Heart king himself likes to leave without giving a prior notice to the others.

Whether it is because of his antics to see the others panic of his sudden disappearance or to cover his track, Duke Victory feels the need to be on standby beside the king himself in case he decides to go right away.

Knowing the behaviour of his friend, the duke himself felt the need to arrive at the Grand Palace early in the morning.

Arriving at the Grand Palace, one of the shadow guards suddenly appears in front of him and gives him a letter before disappearing into the shadow.

Noticing that the letter has the royal seal from the king himself, he immediately opens it after breaking the seal using his own mana.

Inside the letter there is only a single short sentence, "We depart now."

After reading the letter, the letter burns itself into ash. Then, Jacob continued his walk to the certain room inside the palace.

The room is heavily guarded be it from the royal guard or shadow guard that is hiding inside the shadow. The room itself is enchanted with dozens of enchantments with a circular platform as the center. This circular platform is known as a teleportation device.

Arriving at the room, he notices there are already few men in white clothes preparing the teleportation device platform.

The distance between Heart Kingdom and Roundel city is very far. Even for a monstrous powerhouse such as 7th grade people, it will take a few weeks to arrive there.

Unless they have someone that is proficient at space magic which is rarer than 7th grade people, they could only use this method for fast transportation.

Therefore to anticipate such a hassle in times of emergency like this, Roundel city is connected through this teleportation device to every important city, kingdom, tribe and many more important places all over Firuman.

Using this teleportation device, the civilization society could gather at the roundel city at the moment of notice or even help one of the others in times of emergency.

Still teleportation magic is very complex. It needs to be supervised and configured by many experts before it could be used.

Especially the one that will use it is 7th grade being like the king himself. The higher grade the person being teleported the more unstable for the device to safely work.

It is not wrong to say that this teleportation device has the same complex procedure as an international flying jet on earth.

Compared to the teleportation device that the duke has in his home is like a child's toy. Looking that the king himself still has not arrived, The duke only stands in the corner while looking at the expert to do their job.

He needs to make the expert to not send them into oblivion or unknown places. There are already many cases of the misuse or sabotage from the expert using the teleportation device to send people into oblivion or unknown places previously.

Because of this reason, no one in this world is underestimating a researcher, scholar or other similar occupation job. Some kingdoms even regard these kinds of jobs like a glorious job with high status.

Although the duke himself does not know the specific detail, as a magician combatant he still knows few things about the teleportation device.

After a moment, the king himself arrived at the room. Noticing that the Duke was already waiting in the teleportation room, "Hahaha, I thought I would be waiting for a while but it seems you already guessed my mind to depart early, my friend." [King Leon]

"Morning, my liege. I need to be always ready to escort you to the Roundel city." replied the duke respectfully.

"Relax Duke Victory, we still have some time before the device is ready." said King Leon.

"Pardon me, my liege. But, how about marquis Leroy?" asked the duke.

"Oh, him. Well, if he still didn't come after the device is ready, then we will leave him behind." stated the king himself.

After that they king and duke continue their chat into various kinds of subjects while they supervise the expert to work.

Both of them didn't pressure the expert as they know how complex it is to use a teleportation device for a long distance like going to Roundel city especially with both of them using it.

As for the experts themselves, they were already used to this and not feeling any pressure for being looked at by the king and duke themselves.

They keep checking and configure the device professionally according to the procedure that they have done countless times.

Few moments later, One of the team experts notified the king himself that the device was ready to use.

"Well, then let's get going. I guess it's unfortunate but we need to…" before the king finishes his sentence, the door abruptly opens.

A man in ragged breath came in, "Huff.. Huff.. P-Pardon me my liege for my lateness." Said the man with noble clothes.

Looking at the ragged marquis in front of him, the king could only smile playfully.

"Alright, let's not waste anymore time." As the king steps on the circular platform followed by both duke and the miserable marquis.

Soon, the device rune starts to glow brightly before the three people disappear from the room. *ZING* *BZZTTZ*

The three people arrive at the similar platform but with different scenery. The scenery is very peaceful with thick mist of mana in the air. They could look at many huge trees around them.

If not because of some expert in the nearby area, they thought they arrived in the middle of the forest. They notice that all the expert is elven race with slim figure and pointed ear as their signature

Soon, the three people step outside of the platform while the marquis in white pale and try not to puke from disorientation. The disoriented feeling from the teleportation device is many times bigger if used for a long distance.

Then, a group of elf approached them. "King Leon of Heart Kingdom, Welcome to Roundel City. My name is Sylva Windspear, your guide during your stay at the Roundel."

"Please drink these to alleviate the effect from the teleportation device." said the leader of the group while his men brought a few glasses of blue liquid drink on the tray.

"Oh.. Then, I will pardon myself." as King Leon takes one of the blue drinks.
