Matthew and Amari set out in the morning. They bid farewell to the chief and children and were off.Amari only brought a sling bag with her. She changed out of her dress and wore a shirt and shorts that were easier to move around in a jungle. With Amari as the guide, they proceeded smoothly along a track.“Sorry, Lord Dragunov, traversing through this must be hard on you.” Amari said.“It’s cool. I’m used to it.” Matthew replied.The soil was moist and covered in leaves. Each step they took would crunch the leaves and twigs. The air was really humid as well but thankfully it was not hot yet early in the morning. Matthew could also sense some critters in the vicinity but none seemed dangerous aside from possibly poisonous ones.“This jungle apparently has a high level of mana density. Although not lethal, it can cause dizziness, sickness, and mana poisoning. If not treated immediately, it can be lethal too. Since you are strong, you should be fine, sir.”“I know. Blackwood Mountain has

“Who are you?” Matthew asked the man who was wearing a sci-fi battle suit. The man had white spiky hair and an equally white pair of eyes. His suit was mostly black with neon white tubes along his back, arms, and legs. Grey parts covered his chest, abdominal muscles, biceps, and quadriceps. “Name’s 4M5Y4R YB. My colleagues usually refer to me as YB. People of this world call me The Copier though.” “Copier?” “Kind of a stupid name, isn’t it? Well, it doesn’t matter.” “So you can copy people’s ability?” Matthew asked. “Ding ding ding! You’re right! As expected of Lord Dragunov.” YB clapped his hands to applaud for Matthew. “What do you want?” “Now what could a person who induce fear and follow the victim all the way out here want? Hmm~ I wonder.” YB scratched his chin. “Oh! I think it’s to kill him!” “Kill me? What for? Did the Scarlett King send you?” “Scarlett King? No no no. I work for someone else. Well, as of now, I'm self-employed. I do bounty hunting and other stuff." "

After having a nice lunch with the villagers, Matthew set off on his own to the anomaly in a new change of clothes. He wore a dark blue vest over an orange shirt and a pair of peach trousers. He had a map with him which marked the location of the anomaly. He sprinted as fast as he could at the start and slowed down when he got closer.Of course, Matthew had no idea where he was on the map so he had to find the nearest village first to reorient himself in the right direction. He didn’t enter the village and only used it as a point of reference. After confirming the direction, he continued on his journey.It was already afternoon when he left. Now it was close to sunset when he arrived at the approximate location of the anomaly. He didn’t sense anything out of the ordinary though. The only thing that indicated this as the possible location was that it was an open area with no trees.“Unless I got the location wrong…” Matthew checked the map and his surroundings again and again.“Does [A

It was a quiet noon as usual in the library in Cecilia’s mansion. Cecilia was chatting with Yuki while she was reading a novel. Cecilia rested her head on the table while she talked and Yuki only replied every now and then with a few words. Cecilia was pretty much talking to herself really.While they were talking, Yuki noticed a group of people in armour was marching down the lane by the window. Upon closer inspection, she identified that they were knights from the Stone, Umbra and Minos noble families. She knew something was up.“Cecilia. Looks like we got guests.” Yuki gestured at them with her chin.Cecilia looked out and saw them as well. She also had a feeling that this was not good.…At the front yard of Cecilia’s mansion, the knights from three regions were standing in formation as if ready for battle. There were a total of 60 knights behind their master who wore the official noble clothing. Facing them were only ten guards from Cecilia’s side who were on duty.Cecilia came o

Matthew and Rose were escorted on foot by 60 knights down the street all the way to the king’s castle. Usually criminals would have their faces covered to not start rumours and to protect their privacy, but Matthew and Rose’s were not covered. While marching through Cecilia’s region, the pedestrians would look at them with confusion, then suspicion because they knew Matthew as a dear friend of their lady but the Scarlett Witch was something completely different. All they could say was that the situation was weird and rumours began to spread and surely it would get worse the further it was spread.It was exactly what Paul wanted. Even a Dragon Emperor was not above national law. Other countries cannot interfere with the affairs in the country that the Dragon Emperor resided in. If there was destruction caused by them, then they will have to be punished or pay a fine. There hasn’t been any chances to take action upon Matthew until Paul decided that he has had enough.“You destroyed a pa
