Finally after a journey of thirty hours, Craig and his wives made their way through the entry gate of the Raine Kingdom.
The path heading to their destination was twisted and cruel. They overwhelmed a few challenges with brute force.
The Raine Kingdom was built in a lavish style.
A Kingdom heavily guarded by the magic circles engraved on the walls.
And the magic barriers which were always active.
Craig was able to conceal himself and his wives through a disguise potion he bought on his way coming.
Passing through cities and kingdoms to get here.
He was able to get his hands on the informations he needed.
Informations and rumors regarding the West.
They were all under the guise of the black cloak which covered their bodies. With their heads under the cover of the hood.
They rode their horses through the road.
Carriages went by, horses moved freely. The streets is busy as always and it spent them three hours.
Three hours to arrive at a town.
Craig exhaled a deep breath, he slowly lifted his head.
Glaring at the scorching sun.
"Is there a problem? My husband?" Cassie asked.
"No. Not at all, from the informations we got, the Raine Kingdom is one of the five great kingdoms of the west"
"A Kingdom with an archbishop dwellin in its capital. The archbishop of the church of Luminaries"
"Those guys are anti demons. They could easily detect me"
Craig stated.
Ramposa chuckled at the words of Craig.
"Did I say something funny?" Craig asked.
"Kinda, the potions we took are very solid and we already concealed our demonic essences. No one can detect it"
"We just have to be careful right?" She asked.
"And if they figured it out, we could just kill them" She added.
Craig exhaled a deep sigh.
He scanned the town, he could see a lot of unfamiliar faces. He knew no one since this is his first time coming here.
He observed the entirety of his location but he couldn't detect any external threat. They continued their movements.
"Ramposa. While we're in this kingdom, we're here for the summit so keep it at the back of your mind that we're not killing anyone"
"We need to work on our diplomacy and to certify the village as an independent nation on its own"
"And to also create trade deals with the west as well"
Craig explained.
But Ramposa rolled her eyes.
"Yh..Yh…Yh…whatever. I don't really know why you became so compassionate to humans, you are a demon"
"A demon lord to be precise. This creatures hates you"
"Shouldn't you hate them back?" Ramposa asked.
Craig flashed her a warm smile.
"Ramposa. I already told you before that I want to live a normal life, didn't i? I don't have the strength to antagonize anyone"
"There are demon lords in Hell. So let them take on the role of being the villains"
"I don't have the strength for those type of shits. I just want to rule in peace" Craig explained.
But Ramposa was displeased by his explanation.
She considers humanity as weaklings. Pests and unworthy of the demon lord's compassion but Craig couldn't care less.
And before he was reincarnated into the body of the Demon Lord Zephyr.
He was once a human, a human who lived a lonely life. A life filled with depression and sadness.
He doesn't want that life anymore.
He just needs to upgrade his nation and rule in peace. And this summit will be the stepping stone for that to happen.
If that's the summit goes as good as he intended.
Peace would reign.
Craig was left in his thoughts as they rode their horses across town. He careesed his jaws, still observing.
Before his eyes was the virtual shimmering panel only his eyes could see.
"This special mission has two tasks for me. The first task is to participate in the summit and solidfy my nation"
"That wouldn't be an issue right?"
"I've been banned from enacting violence while in this summit. So I have to move forward with diplomacy and tactics"
"It doesn't matter if I make use of intimidation to force them to submit to me!"
Craig stated.
He sighed.
"And the second task is to discover the identity of the MC and the four heroes. From the informations I got from the Pandora System"
"The Demon Lord Zephyr died to the hands of the MC and the four heroes. I'm still suprised as to how they managed to kill a demon lord"
"They're only humans, are they that strong?"
Craig asked.
"Are they grand masters?" He asked.
"Tch" He growled.
"Thinking too much is really tiring. I can't wait for this shit to end so I would go home and rest my head"
"I don't want to be thinking. I need to be eating"
He sighed in defeat.
They made their way into a hotel, Craig quickly paid for a single motel room since he would be staying with his wives.
The money they used was gotten from the bandits they slaughtered on their way coming.
Since they weren't in the Raine Kingdom where the summit will be taking place.
He wasn't forbidden by Fate to use violence against humans.
But since he's in the Raine Kingdom. The restrictions are now active.
Craig paid the receptionist, he was given the key to his motel room. While they were about to head to the top floor.
They overheard intense noises right outside the building.
"What's that?"
Craig asked.
He could see men and women who were present in the motel running outside to check out what was causing the commotion.
Ramposa was filled with excitement.
Her love for violence caused her to chase after the noise and Craig followed together with Cassie.
They made their way outside of the building to see a crowd gathered.
There were those cheering and there were those booing.
A fight had broken out with a gang seen beating up a drunken redhead. The drunk's shirt was all torn up.
While being aroused by the alcohol. He kept receiving punches, slammed to the ground.
Kicked from every direction.
Craig watched from where he stood.
His eyes flickered, his eyebrows furrowed.
[Notice…..]
[Your Authority: Eyes of Clairvoyance has been activated]
[Sub Authority: Seer's Concept is in use…]
Craig activated his newly gotten skill, a skill which granted him the ability to see the informations of anyone.
He faced the gang, their informations were on display in the forms of multiple system windows.
Craig careesed his jaws.
"Hmmm…."
"This men are just ordinary. Only one of them is an eleventh level Fledgling of the Servant genesis"
"He's probably their leader, they're merely insignificant NPCs. Let's ignore them"
"This drunk man. Let's see who he is"
Craig whispered.
He bent down to see the informations of the drunk. His eyes widened in shock.
Craig staggered back a bit, his wives noticed the tension.
"It can't be…!!"
He muttered.
"This…this…this young man is the MC!"
He exclaimed. And just then, the systematic voice of the Pandora System erupted.
