Chapter 324 - The Beginning Of A Journey Of Creating A Kingdom (1/2)

”Hey bro, you ready?” Asked Hexo as he placed his bag on his back

He had just finished packing and had an excited air around him.

”Yeah.” Replied John as he took the bag off of Hexo.

”Huh? Is it too big-”

*Swoosh*

In that moment, The bag was dragged inside of the ring on John's pinky finger, Hexo was surprised when he saw it.

”Or that…”

***

”Make sure you come visit every once in a while” Said the guild master with a smile.

”Yeah.” John replied

”You bet we will.” Added Hexo

”Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't you have any other replies in your vocabulary? What happened to that cute emotional John from last week?” Satire asked dejectedly

”Maybe it's because of the blindfold.” Said Hexo

”You're right… Hey, John. Let me check something really quick.” Said Satire as she approached John. She placed her hand on his blindfold and he didn't show any signs of resistance.

She then slightly pulled at the blindfold to lift it up, but was surprised when she realized that it wouldn't budge.

”Huh?”

She began applying more and more force, but it just wasn't moving. John then shook his head causing the blindfold to slam into her finger.

*Smack!*

”Ow!” Satire unintentionally let out

'W-What the hell, that's creepy… kind of blindfold is that…?' She wondered to herself

”Shera, do you have everything ready?” Hexo asked

She gave a slight nod to Hexo as she pulled out something out from her index finger. Hexo's eyes widened as he inspected it.

The bag was her height and much wider, what could have possibly been inside of it.

Despite that he couldn't help but wonder what sort of team they would become. They were all weird in their own ways, but were all strong. Very strong in fact.

'Are you really planning on doing it, John? Making a kingdom…'

The road he was going down wasn't an easy one. Especially if he caught the attention of neighboring kingdoms. He had to be careful not to overlap anyones territory as it might start a war.

During these times where most spots in a continent was claimed. The guild master couldn't help but wonder how he was going to do it. Maybe it was just a childish dream?

He couldn't help but feel that it wasn't the case. And deep down, he could tell, that even he was afraid.

'A kingdom created by a monster…'

”Let's go.” Said John as he turned to the entrance.

The sun was starting to set so it was better to get moving. Especially before anyone else could notice since John had become quite a celebrity with not only the adventurers but also the people.

After leaving behind their thanks, the newly formed group left.

”I wonder how far it'll be able to go. Especially when there are so many bigger monsters in the sea… Good luck, all of you.” Muttered the guild master.

…

A week earlier, after John woke up.

John had opened his eyes and found the whole group mourning his loss with the look of sadness on their face. They had thought he was dead. Hexo was especially angry, he blamed himself.

When they saw John get up as if nothing had happened, they felt like idiots for mourning his death or being sad even. Satire went as far to shout ”Give me back my tears!”

But they laughed it off after. At night, the whole village was brought back inside. The villagers were filled with questions but no one could answer. No one except for the Guild Master who purposely told them it was John who had saved them.

John wasn't at all pleased with it, but it was too late to say anything. The Adventurer's views on John changed immensely. They celebrate, danced, played songs. It was a great sight.

When it came to partying, not many could stand up to adventurers. Many drank all night. Hexo, Satire and The Guild Master got wasted, while John and Shera drank orange juice.

”I'm… Going to be leaving. I… Found it.” Said John.

They all listened carefully, despite most of them not being right in their mind as John said.

”I'm going to build a kingdom.”

”PFFT- Ahahahaha! AH-Ah Ah… Oh. You're not joking.” Muttered Hexo after seeing how no one was laughing.

”For that I'm going to need help… Can you join me?” He asked

Usually he did things alone, but even he wasn't crazy enough to think he could manage a kingdom alone. There were areas they were more knowledgeable in than him, it was an overall good idea. Besides, even if they didn't want to, it would be fine. He was going to build it either way.

For a moment there was nothing but silence, but that silence was quickly broken By Hexo, who casually said.

”Sure bro.”

”…”

”Aren't you a fast one.” Said Satire

”I mean, I was planning on leaving this place anyways. Traveling is fun and besides… I feel like I'll get to learn lots of things if I Join him.” Said Hexo
