Chapter 73: The Forbidden Zone
Theos' Plan number two: Conquer a kingdom! He wanted his army any way he could.
'For now, let's go slowly, I need to get an Independent Zone, without having to rely on a duke or something' he thought.
Theos turned his attention to the two half-elves, Elsa and Elena. The two had taken an interest in him, though they hadn't called him, he could speculate from the information in the novel that they are rather shy about it, at least they wouldn't call him as soon as they got his number, but would wait a week to call him.
And why did Theos turn his attention to them? Simple, they were half-elves, they could take him to the realm of the Elves to take a Zone there.
That's what Theos had been thinking about for some time, but now that he thought about it more carefully... 'Let's better go somewhere else alone'.
With this thought, he smiled slightly, thinking about all those possibilities in the future, above all, how he had to face his enemy, the Church...
However, thinking about the present, Theos also had problems to solve.
"Oh, girls, stop hugging, I want to move," said Theos, fidgeting to get out of the room.
"Hmph," snorted the three girls in unison.
They reluctantly stopped hugging Theos, allowing him to move.
Fixing his gaze towards his two wives and sister, he spoke with a serious expression, "Okay, girls, I have to go, I'll be back in the evening."
"Eh?!"
The three of them were in shock, could he just leave the academy on the first day? Moreover, why is he leaving in the first place?
But they shook their heads, they had already known Theos too well to realize that he didn't care about anything.
"Ahem, but at least tell us where you're going," Luna said with a frown.
Theos shook his head. "It's something I have to do on my own, trust me."
The three were silent again, then nodded, trusting Theos completely.
"Okay, brother, come back safe and sound," Nora commented, giving him a small, brief hug with a worried expression.
"Yes, don't worry, besides, you'd be doing me a big favor if you'd keep the keys to my room at the academy for me."
A structure like the academy, with so many buildings and structures, obviously they also had housing for the students. Depending on how good the student was, they were going to have one housing or another.
"Hm, actually, I did some pretty interesting research," Alice continued. "There are several rumors that this year the academy will have its currency that they will only earn on your student ranking, this student ranking will be divided into combat power, academic performance, and behavior... All this they do so that the nobles don't have so much difference from the commoners."
Theos nodded, clearly understanding and remembering that all those rumors were true. 'In the novel, after this test, there will be another presentation where the teachers will give exactly that, the new ranking and the Acmy points.'
As expected, Alan was in first place in that ranking, but this time it won't be the same....
"Well, with all that said, you will take care of my keys and if they ask you about me, just tell them I'm off to do some important business."
"Understood!" the three women said in unison, placing a hand on their heads to give a military salute.
Theos chuckled at this banter, ready to leave.
"Wait, you'll be back tonight, what will you bring us?" asked Luna.
The other two women nodded as well, agreeing with Luna's question.
'A while ago Alice seemed to want to kill Luna, even my mother couldn't pronounce her name in front of her, why do they look like sisters now,' Theos was open-mouthed, but still answered.
"I'll see what I can bring," he continued, "By the way, no one heard our conversation, I created a Mana barrier to keep the sound out."
Saying the latter, Theos finally broke through the barrier, walking and leaving Building 01.
"Where do you think he'll go?" Nora asked.
Alice and Luna shook their heads, if there was one thing they knew about Theos, it was that he was unpredictable in every way.
They could predict even the next big lottery at least once in their lifetime, but they could never in a million years predict the actions of their "boyfriend"
"He's gone, we could talk calmly now," Alice said, turning her attention to Luna with a frown.
Luna also looked at her with narrowed eyes.
While Nora walked away, not wanting to get into what could be the battle of the millennium.
…
"Thomas, notify all guards that I will be going to the plane again in a few minutes, I'm taking another flight," Theos commented over the phone.
"Understood, sir, don't worry, this order will be transmitted shortly," said the voice on the other end of the phone enthusiastically.
Right there the call ended, Theos continued walking some more until he finally met a large black plane, where he had left it, with dozens of guards protecting it.
"Let's go" he ordered.
All the guards nodded in response, entering the plane in no time.
Being comfortably complemented, two maids arrived at his side. "Where do you want to go, sir?" The two asked and bowed slightly.
Any nobleman's maid would have tried to seduce her masters to perhaps, with any luck, become a nobleman's concubine.
But in return, the maidservants of the Fallen family, especially of Theos, knew their place very well, trying not to watch or even touch Theos as much as possible.
"I'm going to the... Soultrad Kingdom," Theos stated without any set expression.
Hearing their master's reply, the two maidservants left after nodding in understanding, notifying the others where Theos wanted to go.
Everyone was surprised to learn that he wanted to go to Soultrad Kingdom, the kingdom with the second strongest military force in the world, and if the Hydronia Kingdom did not have the Fallen family, unquestionably Soultrad Kingdom would have had the kingdom with the strongest military force.
And because of this, Theos wanted to go there, especially in one specific place.
"The Forbidden Zone."
