Chapter 1904 Are You In Or Out?

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

5 days… It would be a lie to say Frederik wasn't intrigued by the mysteries surrounding Sir Dark Vader's master. As for whether he was fearful it was a trap or not, Frederik has been with these people for quite some time to feel their honesty.

Again, from what he observed, they needed him alive for their grand plans to fall into play. So even if they were only pretending, his life was still guaranteed. As someone who could make countless battle plans and military strategies in a blink of an eye, his vision and foresight was far superior despite his age.

'Although things could go wrong, the pros with going are still very tempting to miss out on.' Frederik concluded, lowering his head and taking a bite of the dumpling before him.

Whether he accepted it or not, Sir Dark Vader was still in the shadows, while he was in the light.

They knew so much about him, including his fief and his usual nestling areas. They would also be able to get information on him from guilds and other information selling establishments since they knew he was a Prince.

But what about him?

He had no clue where they stayed? What part of the world they came from? Or what they even looked like.

It was odd that despite all this, he still felt their sincerity towards him during these past few months.

In the end, going would clear the barrier between them, allowing him to also see what the master who claims to be here for World Peace was truly like. And if there is some underground scheme at play, he will definitely be able to sniff it out in a flash.

Chewing on the dumpling, Frederik felt it was better to know these people well sooner than later, so he could decide whether to cut them off in the long run or join their so-called goal for World Peace.

Well, either way, he has already decided to take the throne for himself. So understanding his fearful allies was indeed a must.

It's just that something intrigued him greatly about Sir Dark Vader's words.

.

"From my simple understanding of your Master, he is not a Laboonian…" Frederik paused to take another bit of his dumpling. He continued– "Sir Vader, this means your master does not reside in the Laboon empire. So how will we be able to reach his place and return all within a month or so?"

Everyone else raised their brows, finding the whole thing puzzling. Can it be done?

From where they were, it took weeks to reach the closest coastal settlement. 3 weeks if traveling at a steady pace. 3 weeks was already so close to a month's time. So what sort of sorcery could do this?

Soon they saw Sir Vader flip a page and begin to write once more.

[4 Weeks is all my people will need to take you back and forth. You will take 1 week and 3 days to get there, and another 1 week, 3 days to return. The remaining 8 days will be spent in my master's home… That, I guarantee.]

True or false?

Frederik and his men gave each other tactful stares as though communicating with each other telepathically.

'Master, are you sure going is truly the option here? I fear these people might be real sorcerers!'

'4 weeks? I feel it's more believing to think that the clouds can poop shit than to believe we can go back and forth outside the shores of Tenola in just 4 weeks.'

'Is the world outside getting so insane without us knowing it? Or else how can such an incredulous travel way exist without us knowing it? If these people aren't Morgs or those Adonis goons, then who are they really?'

You look at me, I look at you.

You look at me, I look at your dumplings.

Everyone was staring so much at each other that their eyes began moving maniacally in shock.

Please forgive them for acting like people who lost their senses, but what Sir Vader was confirming was too mind-bending to believe.

Frederik finished chewing on his dumpling and raised his head to Vader with an intense stare that lasted only a few seconds before Frederik went on to pick up another dumpling.

"Sir Vader, we'll go. These days, the sun is up, and the weather is just right for a trip… Better now than in Winter. So why not?"

Frederik shrugged nonchalantly. "Besides, if the journey is just 4 weeks, that's all the more reason to go."

As someone who loved research and discovery, how could his blood not boil to see how they will be traveling?

(^_^)

Already, he could tell it was nothing he has ever seen before, or it wouldn't be that fast. So what was there to think about? GO! GO! GO!

.

With business concluded, everyone now focused on the food before them, before exiting the scene together.

"Eh? Sir Vader, you'll be walking with us?"

They watched sir Vader's head bob, and didn't know what to make of his actions.

This was the first time sir Vader was staying with them after business was concluded.

Looking at the clear starry night, one could determine it was already 30 minutes past midnight.

The shadows the moon created, as well as the scanty night streets gave many the feeling that curfew was near.

Of course, curfew was at 1:30AM here in Richmond town. Most places have their curfew at 1 AM and 2AM. Richmond town was just smack between the 2. After 1:30 AM, if anyone is found outside during these hours, you can expect to be locked up for at least 3 months and fined heavily. Of course, if you can't pay the fine, they must work for the Town/city Lord for another 6 months before you can be let loose.

The rules were simple. No matter what you're up to, stay indoors, until sunrise after curfew hours.
