The Magician of Sound - Chapter 553
He was guided to his room by Aston and Arba together. Because he got relaxed a bit after getting the assurance from Aston and Arba, he finally looked at the details of this place.
The stone seemed to be a polished limestone. It was so smooth to the point he thought the stone was polished by magic.
He couldn’t find a painting or something in the corridor, making it look pretty dull. Still, for a place like this, it was already amazing to see traditional-style buildings from the edge of this place to the center. If the people from the three bases knew there was a place like this, they might try to get information or even invade them.
And if a terrorist organization learned it, they would seriously occupy it for their own benefits. This place would soon become a battlefield. Hence, he understood the reason why Arba and Aston wanted to hide it.
At the right of the corridor, he found several doors and a grand one at the end. Behind the doors, he listened to several voices echoing in his ears. Sofia and the others seemed to be gathered in one particular room, getting an explanation from Leah.
Since that was the case, Aston and Arba decided to lead him to the grand room at the end of the corridor.
“This is your room.” Aston opened the room carefully, showing him the interior.
Right behind the doors was a vast green-colored carpet that seemed to be covering all the floor. Next to the door on his left was a drawer for important accessories. He could even put his bag down on top of the drawer.
He thought there was a giant bed, but he realized the fact that this place was small and had many people living in it, space obviously got narrowed down a bit. The room became a bit of a minimalist room as his bed was still a double-sized one, but there was no space next to the bed other than the hanging lamps.
Diagonal to his left was a pair of table and chair if he wanted to write something, while beside it was a closet. It would be good since he needed to stay here for a period of time. On his right was another door that seemed to be the bathroom.
“I’m sorry for such a small room.” Aston apologized to him, feeling ashamed.
“Nah, it’s fine. From the echo alone, I can sense that the other rooms are smaller.” Kai shook his head. “Nevertheless, this room has it all, so I can’t really complain. But I’m quite impressed by the fact that there is an air Conditioner here.”
“Ahaha, not all electronics are bad. We’re using that don’t release pollution while making our lives a bit better here. As you can see, our resources are limited in this kind of space. Sooner or later, we need to start building multi-story buildings to prepare for the influx of population.
“At least, there’s a birth control rule here and managed to keep our population a bit under ten thousand from five hundred people for a few thousand years.”
Kai nodded with a serious expression. “Anyway, I am fine as long as I have a roof for three months.”
Aston nodded and extended his hand to the outside, “I think it’s time to meet your friends.”
“Yeah. Let’s go.” Kai followed him to one room. As expected, it was smaller than his room. All five of them stuck together in one place, with Leah giving them a little information to bring home.
“How is it going, Leah?” Aston asked.
“I have finished telling them about all the things they can bring to their home. Right now, the topic is about My King’s identity.”
“Actually, I have another solution. How about having a representative staying here when he is training in this place? The others can return to give the information. Of course, I need to recheck what kind of information you have to ensure that our location is not known by outsiders.” Aston offered a better solution after knowing Kai’s personality.
Arnaud and Jules exchanged looks before staring at Kai with a complicated expression. They never thought Kai was someone that important.
“What is exactly the information they can bring back?” Kai asked.
Since Aston was busy talking to Leah, Arba decided to explain it to him. “There are three things. First, it’s our place. We call it a mysterious organization that will back you up and our strength if you and your family are threatened.
“Second, it will be your identity. Of course, we’re not telling them that you’re the race’s protector. What they will know after Aston’s Mind Magic Removing is that you’re our leader and a very important one that can stop other species that will destroy this place.
“The third thing we share is the truth about Magic Particles as well as the Altar. You can say that there’s an ancient weapon in a hidden place that it’s impossible to find despite searching for thousands of years. When humanity is about to annihilate a certain race or destroy the Earth, that weapon will become another warning for them. We don’t give them any method or whatsoever since the Magic Particles Theory is enough for them.
“With their knowledge and science, I believe they can understand it and arrive at another conclusion than us. Also, we will be changing the place in their memory instead of removing it. We will just throw a random area on Earth to redirect their attention.”
Kai took a deep breath and closed his eyes, contemplating the three things. He nodded, “I see. Our mission is to search Iran and Iraq, so they will know if the memory is removed. It’s better to misdirect them.”
While Kai had a chat with Arba, Arnaud and Jules seemed to have agreed on something. Jules then said, “I believe both of us will return to the base. First of all, we’ve more influence than the two girls, so our words will be more trustworthy if we want to explain it to the Union.
“As much as I want to leave my daughter alone here as a representative, I don’t know if she will feel lonely or not, so I will have another one beside her. At least, she can become her companion to wait for Kai Carter here.
“Last but not least, it’s to add a bit more strength for the return trip. I’m sure that you’re going to do something amazing again like controlling the magical beasts, but I just want to make sure.”
Hearing Jules’s explanation, Aston came up with another idea and said, “Alright. I will accept it. I will also allow the two girls to learn how to get stronger while they’re here. However, the training method will be removed from their memory before returning from this place.”
“That… I can agree.” Arnaud nodded and tapped Jules’s shoulder a few times.
“In that case, please rest for the day. We will send you back tomorrow.” Aston agreed and went outside.
Arba then took Leah while reminding them once again. “There’s no connection to this place, so it’s impossible to send information you’ve gained. And I just would like you to know, the moment the information spread, you all are guilty. We won’t spare any effort to destroy the entire base if necessary. After all, many ancient civilizations have learned it in the past.”
“…” Arnaud closed his eyes, feeling troubled. He indeed learned the history of ancient civilizations. All of them stated the same. Despite having so many advanced technologies and knowledge, they disappeared without a trace.
If all of them were related to this new information and these guys, they might indeed have enough power to flatten the Union. More importantly, Kai would be displeased by their actions.
After knowing that Kai was actually a Race Protector, which would be removed tomorrow, they knew Kai had the ability to create a natural disaster. No, his existence alone was a walking natural disaster. Such an opponent was not what the Union could handle.
As soon as the door was closed, Jules let out a long sigh and said, “Well, I came searching for copper only to think I got silver. But it turned out you are gold. What should I say… Sometimes my luck is… It is almost frightening.”
“…” Arnaud twitched his eyebrows as he couldn’t comprehend how this man could be this shameless. He then explained their decisions to Kai. “Anyway, we’re going back, leaving Sofia and Roselyn here. Do you have a problem, Kai Carter? Or should I say, My King or Your Majesty?”
“It’s just a symbol. No need to be that polite.” Kai shook his head. “As for your decision, it’s up to you.”
“Then, that’s good.” Arnaud nodded. “Do you have a message that you want to pass? Although it’s impossible to send a message from here, I think it’s possible if it’s you. You can simply give the message to that old man and get his approval to show that you’re fine in this place.
Kai thought for a moment and agreed. “Well, I will write one later.”
“Anyway, to think you are someone with this kind of power and mission… What should I say other than thank you and sorry?” Arnaud scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed. “I’m sorry to leave humanity’s fate in your hands even though you haven’t grown up yet. And I also want to thank you for everything you’ve done.
“It turns out that the battles the US Base have endured at this point because they want to eliminate our race along with you, who have the power to protect it. And if you’re in the EU Base instead of the US Base, we would have suffered from their attacks too. For now, I will try to convince the Union to side with you and help you on any occasion. But that’s only in the future.”
“Thank you.” Kai smiled.
