Rebirth Of Abium 89 Chapter 89: Discussion

Soon, the trio arrived in front of that squad of soldiers who wore black uniforms and stood with a stern expression on their faces.

"Halt! Show your ident.i.ty cards." A pale-faced slim guy with average height stepped forward and asked with a low voice. He was younger, around 25 years old, and looked more like a scholar than a soldier. He had hooded jade eyes, frizzy chestnut-colored hair, and ordinary eyebrows.

Unlike other soldiers' uniforms, he wore an extra red scarf and two golden metals on both of his shoulders. With a simple look, anyone could guess he was just an ordinary officer and appears to be no knowledge of leading any military squad.

Without wasting any time, Fennelis and Roysia took out their identification cards and presented them to him. Soon, that officer gave an in-depth look at those identifications and frowned.

"Can you explain the reason for your arrival here, ma'am?" He asked while glancing at Fennelis. Without removing the hoods, he appeared to be already guessed her race and gave a puzzled look.

"Sir, both me and my daughter, are here to search for clues about my husband." Without hiding anything, Fennelis answered politely. She knew telling the original reason wouldn't give them many problems and didn't hide anything.

"Thank you for your honest answer, ma'am. Due to the civil war, many unlawful things are happening here. Please stay away from unnecessary troubles. If you need anything, you can directly ask us, ma'am." He gave a slight nod and said. His polite tone surprised not only Fennelis's group but also other soldiers who stood behind that slim officer.

"May I know your name, sir?" Roysia took the initiative and asked while puzzling inside. She was a former knight captain and felt something was off but soon shook that thought away.

"Piers, my lady." Piers said and quickly signaled other soldiers to make the way.

After thanking Piers, the trio moved towards the southern gate and entered the town. It was bustling with merchants, soldiers, and ordinary peoples. The security was even tighter, and soon, the trio noticed all the food prices were double than the average amount. Soon, they walked towards the town square and entered the market street to buy sweets for Umi. They didn't waste much time and quickly started to purchase rations, small leather water bottles, and a few native clothes of Keris.

"So, what is our next plan?" Once they purchased necessary things, Roysia suddenly glanced at Fennelis and asked curiously.

"We should rest for a day or two; then we can continue our journey. If you are in a hurry, I think that's also okay for us." Fennelis said while glancing at the surroundings to check if there was anything out of the ordinary.

"No. I'm not in that much of a hurry." Roysia shook her head, and soon both planned to stay in that town till the next day morning. Once they finished their purchases, the trio quickly moved towards the commoner's district to find an Inn. Soon, they managed to book two rooms at 12 Border street and started to take some rest.

…

January 27th Year 10292 Morning 10 A.M at Alastall woodlands, pirate town.

Abium wore a regular linen black shirt and pants and sat on his wooden chair in the reception hall while Helena, Lily, Sarah, Viper, Claude, and Kuran sat on his opposite side. After he did that sacrificial ritual, he started to take rest and concentrate his full attention on management. He didn't even touch that divine fragment that floating inside the empty void.

"Helena, did you hear any reply from that slave merchant?" He asked with a frown. It's been almost ten days, but the slave merchant still hadn't arrived with the labor slaves.

"No. But I think the ship will arrive in one or two days." Helena lazily leaned on the wooden chair and replied while yawning.

"Good." Abium nodded, then he quickly shifted his gaze towards Claude and asked. "Uncle Claude, did you take back those remaining ships that left behind near to that magic tower?"

"Yeah. Those six ships are already docked in our port. Kid, please choose the right name for this town before outsiders come here. Calling this town by the original name is not a good idea." Claude said with a frown.

'Hmm, I haven't thought of that. But Uncle's words are right. In the future, this town will become the main stronghold, and calling this town with a random name is not a good idea.' Abium fell into deep thoughts, while others also started to ponder.

"Amaryllis." Suddenly Camilla, who sat on her sister's head, suddenly shouted that flower's name and startled everyone.

"Why did you pick that name?" Abium asked with a surprised expression.

"Whole town and surrounding areas are filled with that plant," Helena responded with a nod instead of Camilla.

"Haha, We can just say 'Amara town' then." Viper laughed out loud and said.

"It's decided then. Next is about the management of this town in the future. My friend, Kuran, you will be managing all the construction related works and guild related works. You will get five white golds per month. Are you okay with that?" Abium asked with a smile while shifting his gaze towards the dwarf warrior who was already in a drunken state. Abium had already decided this when he chose his own territory. For normal mages or other powerful peoples, Abium's actions might look like foolishness, but only he knew what it would be like losing everyone precious to him.

'I want to save all my friends from my past life memories and let them live here peacefully.' Abium thought to himself.

"Aye. But I need two months of vacation per year. I must return to my hometown in August." Kuran said with a somber tone.

'Two months? Hmm, it's still manageable. I will let Helena pick up an a.s.sistant from the slaves and teach them basics.'

'Next to basic need is food and water. There is a river located only 2 kilometers away, so water is not a problem. But the problem is the food. With pirates help, we can catch fish and try to trade with nearby town-. Nah, it's almost impossible to do business with that Baron Harry.' While thinking about that problem, Abium felt a headache.

"Next is about food. It's almost impossible to do business with Baron Harry, so we have to look for other places." Abium said with a helpless sigh.

"Why not just a.s.sa.s.sinate him and replace him with another successor?" Suddenly, Helena straightened her back and spoke with a cold tone.

'd.a.m.n, she even holds a grudge against that Baron. It's his mistake for him to come after her sister.' Everyone in the room became speechless, including Abium.

"Killing a n.o.ble will cause instability in their whole territory. Moreover, everyone in that town knew about what happened a few days ago. Young Baron slapped that Baron Harry in front of everyone, and I think that news might already spread to nearby territories. So, if he dies suddenly, everyone will suspect it will be us who had done that. Even if Harry dies, their n.o.ble family will definitely won't let this easily. It will only make things worse." Viper said with a grim tone. He knew little about politics, so he immediately shook that idea. After noticing others' silent behavior, he continued.

"They will use that reason to join hands with other higher n.o.bles and might make a problem during the next grand n.o.bles gathering."

The hall fell into silence after Viper finished his sentence. After a few seconds, Abium took a deep breath and started pondering.

Hmm, that family is troublesome. I heard they are the descendants of some old family. What is the name of that family? Nave? No… Ah, Its Novak. Whatever, although now that family has declined to lowly n.o.ble, still, I have to be extra careful. He quickly started a.n.a.lyzing those details and soon spoke with an approving nod.

"Let's do it then."

"What?! Are you out of your mind, young Baron? Even if you are a mage, their family will not let this off easily." Viper said with a serious tone. But Abium didn't respond to his words. Instead, he spoke with a chilling tone while showing a scroll that had a strange symbol engraved on it.

"We have two targets. One is Harry, and the other one is the family elder named Randolph. I heard he is a fifth tier warrior and intermediate swordmaster. Once we killed them, we will draw this devil skull mask symbol on their foreheads. We also have to drain their blood completely and write 'Order of the dead' near to them."

"What are those strange words represent?" Lily, who kept her mouth all this time, asked curiously.

"It means Order of the dead in nether language. Order of the dead is an organization which mostly involves in evil deeds. So, basically except necromancers, no other normal mages knew much about this language. If the news went to academic mages' ears, they would also become wary of that organization. It will be enough to make that Baron's family members shut their mouths." Once Abium finished his words, everyone was a little stunned.

"Still, we won't be able to kill that fifth tier warrior. It would be dangerous for all of us if we got found out-." Lily said with a low voice.

"I will go with you guys." Before she could finish her words, Viper said with a grin. At first, he thought it was a reckless plan, but now he understood that crafty kid's idea and smiled.

"Good. We will start this a.s.sa.s.sination mission at the end of the march. Better do it once a large earthquake ends." Abium said with a sly smile. He said it intends to make it look like he was a diviner.

"How did you know there will be a large earthquake in the future?" Claude asked with a suspicious gaze.

'It's a revelation from the G.o.ddess. Anyways let's move to the next topic." Abium quickly said a blunt lie and shifted the topic while others waited for him to proceed.

'But I have to reveal some future events from time to time to let these peoples that I know divination and make them completely believe me.' He thought then quickly spoke about the current situation inside his territory.

"It's about subjugating the monsters in the Alastall woodlands and creating a permanent route from this town to the magic tower and the abandoned tunnel. We have to completely kill most of the monsters in the outer regions of the Alastall woodlands." His words caused everyone to nodded in agreement.

"When are we going to start? And who all are going to partake in that work?" Sarah asked.

"All of us except Kuran and Sir Viper. We can start working on that from tomorrow onwards." Abium replied quickly. Following that, they discussed a few things about education, population, and other things. But Abium didn't pay much attention to those things for now. He planned to build this town step by step and plan to make it develop without even his help in the future.

Soon, the meeting ended, and everyone agreed to start the subjugation mission from tomorrow.

As everyone was about to return, suddenly, Viper halted his footsteps and asked.

"Young Baron. Did you check that silver ring? What did that elven guy hide in that ring?"

'Ring? Oh! I completely forgot about that silver ring.' Abium quickly ma.s.saged his forehead and said.

"I completely forgot about that ring, Sir. I will tell you once I checked the details."

"Okay. If it is something dangerous, at least give me some hints, I will take care of the other works." Viper said with a low tone and walked out of the reception hall, leaving Abium alone. Abium was a bit startled and soon understood Viper's meaning.

'Should I cast the 'seer's intuition' spell and check the answer before activating that ring?' Abium thought inwardly.

'It's better to be safe than sorry.'

After glancing around the room and confirmed everyone walked out of the room, he cast the 'seer's intuition' spell while thinking if there was a danger to contact that elven guy and about his strength.

Next instant, an immeasurable headache a.s.saulted, and he almost shouted in pain.

Pant! Pant!

'Highly dangerous! That guy must be highly dangerous, or is there some hidden danger in this ring?' He wiped the cold sweats on his forehead and started to ponder what to do with this situation.

For the next few minutes, he sat on the wooden chair, and his mind was completely filled with questions.

'Why is that elven guy targeting me? Hmm, Is he really an elf? I didn't involve myself in any of elf's business except Thallan. Is the current royal elven family is after me?'

Finally, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down and started to what to do next.

'Hmm, even if I avoid contacting him now, he may use other vulnerable methods. First, I should check if there is any danger hidden inside this silver ring. Once again, Abium slowly cast 'Seer's intuition' spell and started to think about if any risk hidden inside this ring.

After two seconds, he slowly breathed out a sigh of relief as he noticed there was no uneasiness nor any danger.

'Let's see what that hooded elven guy is up to.' He thought inwardly and quickly activated that silver ring.
