The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 112: Getting Library Permit

I cried thinking that my peaceful life disappears. If it’s just Candy who said that she wants to have me help Albert, I can have several reasons to refuse. But to think that everyone is involved in this and want me to help Albert in eradicating the cult. Now whatever excuse I made won’t work.

“I’m glad to have you in the team, Roy.” Albert smiled joyously.

“Why are you happy? You don’t even know me that well.”

“But I have heard what you did from Wendy. You used melee attack to fight against mages. That’s an amazing feat! No wonder you can come here and bypass all the guards safely. What elements do you have?”

“...summoning and air element.” I said with tears still falling from my eyes and dripping on my cheeks.

Candy approached me and wipe my tears with a handkerchief like a good wife. A good wife with a crybaby husband.

“Your summon is that woman over there, right? A slime?”

.....

“A Black Slime, your majesty. If possible, I’d like to speak you casually like you did with Roy since it’s not our first meeting.” Victoria said.

“Oh, so it was your voice back then. You started singing out of nowhere even Roy got surprised. And you have a ghost friend, right? The one you used for distance communication?” Albert curious about Sonia.

“Here!”

I throw two necklaces at Ms. Wendy. She knows how to call Sonia so she tapped on one of the necklaces.

“Nice to meet everyone here. I’m the friendly ghost, Sonia, here to help you with distant communication. But only limited to those who carried specific accessory.” Sonia greeted everyone as soon as she appears.

“Nice to meet you too. Are those accessories... for us?”

“Yes. They’re gifts from the man who cried over there. I don’t know why he’s crying but I enjoy seeing him that way. He always bullied me.”

“Shut up, you ghost! Or I’ll exorcise you for real!” I tried to threaten Sonia but it doesn’t work.

“You won’t do that. Now that I’m the only one to help you with communication, you don’t have the guts to kill me. You need me.” Sonia shamelessly replied.

Is this what happened when I went out to eat? Everyone seems to be against my freedom. Is this the rise against Roy’s freedom?

Can’t I just be a jerk and ignore them? Somehow I feel like I can’t. They are the people I gathered whom I trust and trust me. It might be because I long for human relationship.

Dammit! Where did I go wrong?!

“Since Roy is not in the condition to talk, I’ll do the talking here. By the way, he brought you gifts for your babies.”

Victoria then grabbed the books I carried with me under my Ninja outfit. They are fairy tales for children.

“Ah, I’ve read those a long time ago. Did they publish a new version of these books?”

“That’s also the things we want to talk about. While waiting for Roy to stop crying, I’ll explain to everyone here.” Victoria spoke in a serious tone.

The atmosphere changed. So I need to stop crying now. Well, it’s not like Albert will ask me to help him all the time.

“I want to talk about fairy tale. Especially this book.” Victoria shows the book titled ‘Hero Against Evil’.

“Is there some sort of hidden message inside?” Shirley asked.

“I don’t know, but this book is related to Sonia and my past lives. We were humans in the past, but got killed by someone. We assumed the person who killed us is the Evil God.”

“What?! And how did this book is related to you?” Albert asked.

Victoria explained how the evil that was introduced were similar to Sonia and Victoria. Especially the first enemy Hero killed and the last one.

Then Victoria explained about Aura and the possibilities that Roy is the only person with Aura in the world.

“Albert, from what I know, there’s a possibility that your ancestor is also an Aura User who can detect lies. That’s why you inherit his ability even though you are not an Aura user.” Sonia continued Victoria’s explanation.

“Really? I guess that explain how I have this ability, and how Roy can see through objects.”

“Wait. We don’t know if what they said is the truth.”

“How about this?”

I have stopped crying in the middle of Victoria’s explanation.

Now, I’m focusing my Aura under the sole of my shoes and used it to walk on the wall.

“I’m using Aura to stick my feet to the wall and ceiling. If I’m stronger, I’ll be able to step on air, but I can’t do that now. I can also swim faster in the sea by covering my body with Aura.” I explained how useful Aura is.

“Swimming in the sea? Isn’t that dangerous? Under the sea, there are too many monsters that hasn’t been identified yet. The one that was identified, we suspect that we only reached less than 20% of all species under the sea. Even for sea travels, we need dozens of powerful mages to protect the ship. And you’re swimming in that dangerous area?” Albert shocked to hear I’m swimming.

“He even make business of it. He would dive underwater and look for sunken ships where he will loot all the valuables inside to sell. It’s a business only he can do without having to worry about competition. Actually, I can do that as well, but I can’t swim as fast as he did since I can’t use Aura again after I become a Black Slime.” Victoria proudly telling the king about my business.

“Doesn’t that make him rich? But I guess even if he got all the money around the world, he can’t use it if the world is destroyed.”

“Yes. And that’s why I thought of having you take care of the cult while I’m living my life lavishly. But now...” remembering what happened today makes me want to cry again. Stop it, me!

“Anyway, you think that the Evil God who killed both of you and the Evil God from the cult is the same? Are you sure?” Albert ignored my crying face and asked Victoria and Sonia.

“We don’t know yet. We thought that we might find a clue if we look for the author of the book. The original story at least. Then we can find more clues about Evil God.” Sonia said.

“I’ll take that into account. Now let’s talk about Melk.”

“Oh, yeah. Melk. Now that you mentioned it, I want to ask you to give me a medical license so I can be a doctor again. It’s faster this way than going to college.” I shamelessly asked for a license from Albert.

“I heard that you’re leaving quickly because you’re afraid that your identity was caught. And that’s why you thought it will be difficult to go to school, right? I’ll do what I can do.”

“Great, thanks!”

“Now about Melk. Roy, you have caused trouble several times for the cult, right? I heard from Wendy that other than the time you fought together, you also foiled their plans. Not the one about the Stampede, but their other plans.”

“Yes. I killed the new recruits, and killed the mutated Orc Emperor.” I answered honestly.

“Then I guess the cult over there is in chaos. The governor is also a member of the cult, right? Then we need to focus our sight on Melk first. Wendy, I need you to return there and be a teacher again. Take one of the necklace with you and wear it at all time.” Albert gave an order to Wendy.

“I understand.”

As Wendy about to leave, Albert stopped her.

“Just go tomorrow. You can stay here and listen to our discussion for now. Roy, there are two cities that you mentioned will get Stampede at the same time as Melk that is suspicious. Both governors are planning to visit the capital at the same time. If both of them are member of the cult, we can assume that the time they visit here, is the day that the Stampede happened. Which is in three month time.”

“Three month? Can you gather soldier to protect those cities in time?” I asked Albert.

“That’s why I need everyone’s help. Candy, I want you to help me gather all the secret agents to meet me. I will use lie detection skill to see if their loyalties is false. And I want Roy to protect me during my meeting with them. How long will you be here?”

“Tsk! Busy again... I don’t know how long it will be. Just not too long that will make the kids bored I guess. I also want to check the Tower Library if there are some older version of that story. Maybe I can find some clues.”

I’m worried that if we stay here for too long, Daniel will get bored. We have a home in Cassau but we only stayed there for a few days before we have to leave again.

“Alright. I’ll give you permission to enter the highest floor. The librarian is someone I can trust, but he has no battle prowess. That’s why I didn’t ask him to be here.”

“That’s good. But what about the basement?” Albert surprised when he heard about the basement. Then he quickly regained himself.

“I forgot that you can see-through objects. I’ll tell him about it as well. You have my permission. Enter through the window so he will know who you are and won’t record you entering the library.”

The librarian is responsible in recording every single person who entered the library. Even if they didn’t read any book, he will write everyone’s name.

It’s a good thing that I have gained permission from the king himself.
