Chapter 324 - The Beginning Of A Journey Of Creating A Kingdom (2/2)
Satire was dumbfounded, she placed her palm on her face as she couldn't help but smile.
”I'm going to need some time to get things ready, can you give me a week?” She asked
John nodded, and then turned to Shera who was the last one remaining. He knew that the guild Master wouldn't be able to join him, so she was his last bet.
The two stared at each other for what felt like an eternity until Shera suddenly nodded.
That's right, she just nodded. Nothing more, nothing less.
And that was how, the founding group of John's kingdom, was formed.
***
Right before she could finish her sentence, the ground above them raised up in the form of a pillar, pushing them up into the sky. It was so sudden that Satire couldn't help but scream from the surprise.
Shera remained quiet and watched as a chunk of earth detached itself off of the pillar and went right after them.
They quickly began to fall shortly after, and in that moment, the chunk of earth situated itself beneath them, causing them to land b.u.t.t first on the cold and solid stone ground.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
They all landed on their feet with no issue, all except for Hexo who remained in the air above them, flapping his wings.
”You had wings!?” Satire asked as she watched him flap them around.
”You don't?” Hexo replied with a confused look as he lightly landed
”Of course not!”
”Haha, I know. I'm joking.” Hexo added
”…”
”More importantly…” Hexo muttered as he turned to John. ”Where are we going?”
The chunk of earth which they were on was being propelled forward by a strange force which obviously had to do with John.
But it just caused them to question they're destination, and how long it would take to reach it.
”Wait, do you even have a location In mind?” Hexo asked
”…”
There was no reply. Instead John simply stared at him.
Cold sweat dribbled down Hexo's forehead as he muttered.
”Y-You're joking, right…?”
John shook his head in reply.
”Haha… We're lost…” He muttered to himself
”It's fine, there's plenty of spots for us to find here in the Finra continent. That is… If John wants to build it here.”
John stared at the clouds for a moment before he turned to Satire.
”Not this continent…”
”Why not?” Satire asked
”I don't want to ruin it.”
The moment she heard this, she flinched.
”I-I see… W-Well, There's Gilda-”
”Too corrupted.”
”Tempest-”
”Too windy. Uncomfortable for the people…”
”Resta…?”
For a moment there was no reply, but just as she breathed a sigh of relief, John said.
”There's a bounty…”
”Bounty? You want to go bounty hunting to get some more funds?”
”No, Bounty on me.”
”A bounty on you? W-Why- Oh… It's that continent isn't it…”
”Yep, that's the continent where the boss let loose.” Said Hexo
”…” John muttered
”O-Oh… W-Well then, the only continents left are the magical continent and Diabla. Looks like we're building a base in the magi-”
”Diabla.”
”Say what now?”
”The continent we're going to, is Diabla.”

Inside of a small and dark shop, the young silver haired elf could be seen seated on a table, opposite to a young dark haired women with a red gem on her forehead.
A crystal ball stood on the table in between them.
