Chapter 1142: Cap 1140: Meeting Part 1

Orsel basically forgot about me and went over to where Nicole was, he watched Nicole close the door and do something I didn't understand, I just saw some weak energy flows change direction, off or on in a few seconds before she came back to me. 

But he kept ignoring me just talking to Nicole about things I didn't understand, they seem to be Magical Engineering terms, I read some books about it in the Dungeon and came to the conclusion that I don't understand, the fundamental differences with the technology of my previous life makes it all very strange to me, I can't understand things like theory and at most, I can give some creative assistance in practice to a real Magical Engineer. 

"Lord Orsel, ignoring the Primordial Dragon who came to meet you with an invitation from you to speak to his daughter in this way is more than wrong, so I don't blame his servant for wanting to hit you so badly." (Ortiz) 

"..." (Orsel) 

"..." (I) 

Hades looks calm, but it's a fact that Hela and Magnus are holding his arms to stop him from getting closer to Ortiz, I could have said something to stop it, but that's so funny, to have someone try to punch someone who is so absorbed in a conversation that doesn't realize he's being targeted. 

"Hades behave yourself." (I) 

"Yes, as you wish, Zenos." (Hades) 

cough cough 

"I apologize I was mildly impressed with you..." (Orsel) 

"You can call me Nicole, I'm the daughter of Zenos." (Nicole) 

"But you don't look like a Dragon." (Orsel) 

"Not all my children are Dragons, some are Vampires, some are Demons, one of them a Kimera and Nicole... well Nicole is ahead of you, but some like Magnus are Dragons." (I) 

"Primordial Zenos's family is diverse as are those who follow him, but we should leave that topic aside and get back to the main subject, correct?" (Ortiz) 

"You're right, I apologize again for my behavior." (Orsel) 

Orsel looked back at Hades who was still looking strangely at him with blatant murderous intent, then turned to Nicole who was paying attention to a holographic screen and keyboard that appeared in front of him. 

Soon he shakes his head once more before returning to stand in front of me, Nicole ignoring him most of the time and only answering when asked. 

"It was impolite of me to act so immaturely, but your daughter is certainly someone of great ability." (Orsel) 

"I know and that's why I brought her knowing that you use Golems and stuff like that." (I) 

"A smart thought and as I was saying before I got lost earlier, let's sit down and have this talk." (Orsel) 

I sit on a nearby couch with Orsel sitting on the opposite one, the others standing behind me while Nicole hasn't moved from her seat still doing her thing. 

Orsel snaps his fingers twice and an expressionless Human-shaped Golem appears from the doorway carrying an appetizer tray with drinks to place on the table between us. 

"I appreciate the invitation, I enjoyed the city and the scenery, but I don't think Arash would have made me come here to talk to you about something unimportant." (I) 

"You thought correctly, there is something you needed for an important event, but I think before I explain this to you a little general context will be helpful, assuming Ortiz or Arash failed to explain about this city." (Orsel) 

"I was told that this city has a responsibility to defend this world from enemies and monsters from outside." (I) 

"It's not wrong, but it's a very shallow explanation, as you must have seen when you arrived, outside the planet things are dangerous, the number and strength of monsters are greater, weak monsters are born in thousands and strong monsters are difficult to kill." (Orsel) 

"This is due to raw energy, I don't know how much you know about dimensional and universal energy flow on a galactic scale, the study itself is very extensive with infinite updates, but its basis is very easy to understand, especially if we take into account counts only a part of the aspects." (Orsel) 

"Just as a world has energy running imperceptibly across its surface and interior, the universe itself is the same." (Orsel) 

"But the energy in the universe is more raw and chaotic, not to mention the amount of energy is incomparable, because of that the number of monsters is endless, fortunately, we don't need to defend every place, the monsters themselves fight each other in search of food and there are those who take territories to reside." (Orsel) 

"This city in its early days was built to prevent these monsters from entering the world that already had to take care of its own monsters, but as time went on, this city's scope of action increased." (Orsel) 

"Due to the rareness, quantity, and strength of the monsters that are faced here, the amount of materials is something impossible to find anywhere in the world, and because of that many people come in search of training or trade." (Orsel)  <novelsnext> I think you should take a look at

"Over time it caught the attention of people from other nearby worlds becoming a popular trading point as you can see by the number of people you saw until you got here I'm sure." (Orsel) 

"I still don't know where you're going with all this." (I) 

"My point is to show what this city represents, because of the things I've said you can imagine the strengths of those who pass through or reside in this city, you can also imagine the strength level of those who become our enemies." (Orsel) 

"Didn't you say you only fight monsters?" (I) 

"No, I said that in the beginning that was the core purpose, but as other worlds became aware of this city things changed." (Orsel) 

"There were those who came with good intentions, but there are also many who came with bad intentions." (Orsel) 

"Worlds with cultures about conquest, bandit armies, spies, or even Evil Gods." (Orsel) 

"We also have occasional problems with Creatures of the Abyss, which are the worst to deal with in my opinion." (Orsel) 

"What I want to prove is how much this city awakens greedy eyes in people, the situation here is complex in its calmest days and disturbing in its worst." (Orsel) 

"You don't mean that I'm here because of one of those enemies, right?" (I) 

From his explanation, I can understand a little of what it is about, if we treat each world as a nation and this city bordering on a strategic point, full of resources and power, attracting the wrong kind of attention can be more than understood. 

"Not exactly, but the reason isn't that far from the truth." (Orsel) 

"That doesn't make sense, from what I've gathered my strength and those around me are only somewhere mid-range between this city's strength level." (I) 

"You didn't call me here to fight, you already have many stronger and more numerous people to do that, so why am I here?" (I) 

"Someone of unknown origin requested a meeting, this person passed through Border Town's defenses and reached my office, he showed no hostility and was open about his motives." (Orsel) 

"He was a messenger wanting to arrange a meeting with his leaders, he used magic items that I couldn't precisely identify and even now he is kept under surveillance outside Border Town." (Orsel) 

"What kind of meeting and why should I be involved with it?" (I) 

"The meeting appears to be about a proposal for an alliance, the strange thing is the way they went about it." (Orsel) 

"They gave us great advantages, they announced that their leader would be personally present, they gave us complete freedom to choose the day and place as best suited them." (Orsel) 

"This is more than suspicious, but you still haven't answered me why I'm involved?" (I) 

"I've never been out of our world before, I don't think I've ever met anyone outside our world and I didn't even know about this city until recently." (I) 

"That's why I don't understand why we're here." (I) 

I didn't like the way he was trying to avoid the question, but it all seems too suspicious, from his reaction it sounds like it was solicitude from the other side, which only makes it worse. 

"We got a lot of advantages from this meeting which according to the messenger was to show their sincerity for this meeting happening in an attempt to form an alliance." (Orsel) 

"But they also made their demands, they wanted the presence of a Spirit of the Moon to prove that they speak the truth, they wanted the presence of someone with the blessing of several Gods to be heard by them as well and lastly, they wanted the presence of the one who Heals the Trees of the World." (Orsel) 

"..." (I) 

I don't even need to think too hard to see why they call me, I have the blessing of several Gods, I have Nix who is a Spirit Queen with one of the elements I possess being that of the Moon and with absolute certainty the part about the one that heals World Trees was talking about me. 

It made my mind race, this person knows about me and knows a lot of things, not many people know about my ability to heal World Trees, also even less people should know about my Blessings. 

But something occurred to me, I looked at Nicole and then back at Orsel. 

"Tell me more about this messenger and his magic items..." (I)
