Chapter 148: The Heroes III
[Orboume Kingdom]
An angel is a messenger of God, characterized as having human form with wings and a halo. The word suggests goodness, and is often used to refer to someone who offers comfort and aid to others in times of trouble. In various theistic religious traditions, an angel is a supernatural spiritual being who serves God. The Archangel Michael wears a Roman military cloak and cuirass in the 17th-century.
Abrahamic religions often depict angels as benevolent celestial intermediaries between God (Creator of all) (or Heaven) and humanity. Abrahamic religions describe angelic hierarchies, which vary by religion and sect. Some angels have specific names (such as Gabriel or Michael) or titles (such as seraph or archangel). Those expelled from Heaven are called fallen angels, distinct from the heavenly host.
They are usually shaped like humans of extraordinary beauty, though this is not always the case—sometimes, they can be portrayed in a frightening, inhuman manner. They can be deadly shape-shifting realm-crossing divine hitmen with... lethal superpowers. Basically Angels are like phantasmal beings that are often talked about in stories to guide and protect the children despite having little to no proof of interaction towards such beings.
Now that the King Eric had proclaimed that Queen Asagi is an angel and the fact that she had white wings protruding out her back, all the summoned people from another world were naturally shocked by such revelations as they can't believe that such creatures actually exist. If this event happened back on earth, it would have been quite a huge controversy and issue due to the fact that Christianitu and catholic are one of the largest religion in the whole world.
But despite their shock, their awe overshadowed their previous feelings as Asagi's beauty literally attracted all of the boys in the class. If someone with the caliber as Sato was attracted towards Asagi due to her beauty, how much more towards his other classmates who is regarded as a lower caliber than him in terms of looks and popularity.
In that sense while everyone was shocked towards such information, King Eric continued on with his speech as he deliberately gives a thorough explanation for the summoned people on what to do in this situation and who are this people.
"This people right in front of you held quite a large influence in this world, so I request for all of you to please be in your best behavior and do not shame the name of my kingdom... always show respect and much more respect the boundaries one have towards one another"
"....."
"The reason why I'm telling you this is so that you guys would have an opportunity outside"
The moment King Eric said something about the outside, everyone's attention then begun to jump joyfully as they interpreted his outside as a place beyond the kingdom's border. This was one of their cherished wishes. They have been cooped up for too long inside the kingdom for the past month, they wanted to further explore the world and this chance was their ticket outside. With that said all of them naturally focused on such topic in regards to King Eric's words.
"I have noticed that you guys are eager to see the outside world and it is only natural since you don't belong in this world, your adventurous spirit just pushes you to have such thoughts and I can't blame you since I too was the same when I was your age. Alongside it this Kingdom, the orboume kingdom is quite a peaceful place, so too are the other kingdoms such as Celeste Kingdom, Estia Kingdom, and Amid Empire... Basically there is not much conflict you guys can participate for your experience.... as for the monsters, the kingdom's knight always handle the dangerous jobs with the adventurers leaving you summoned beings with literally nothing but crumbs"
"....."
"As much as it would disappoint you, but I'm proud to say that the central continent is a safe place with no conflict as of the moment, if you were summoned a year early, you could have larticipated in the territorial war against the empire, sadly you were summoned during the peaceful times"
In that moment the students begun raising their hands in the air as they each asks their questions away.
"So basically we are at peace?" Asked by the girl surnamed Hino
"Then why the hell did you summon us for? Where's the demon that you guys claim to be the sole perpetrator on why we were summoned?" Asked by the guy surnamed Furuta
"Wait! You said Central Continent, does that mean there are other continents too?" Asked by hero Sato
As much as everyone have their own questions and opinions right now, King Eric only entertained the Hero's question and ignored the rest of the complaints.
"Yes! There is more than 1 continent in this world, we too have recently learned of this and the sole person who discovered this fact is Queen Asagi herself... alongside it the white haired guy and the two buffed guests we have cake from this place called the northern continent, a land filled with ice and snow"
Upon hearing that everyone then turned towards Albion, Tetra, and Boris as they somehowshowed interest pm them and somewhat understood why they have a different style than the other people present.
While their attention are directed towards the visitors of the northern continent, King Eric continued on with his speech as he voiced out his idea.
"So despite the central continent being at peace, the same can't be towards the other continents, so I'm proposing that Queen Asagi would bring you all along with her back to her place in order to venture out into the other continents and gain experience through the expedition"
In that moment Asagi was quite stunned as her eyes shot awake from this unexpected proposal. She was only here to see the summoned people, but little did she know that King Eric had made such a promise in order for the summoned people to get experience in fighting agaisnt the demon. After all their group always encounter demons in their field work due to them roaming all over the place.
While she was on shock, King Eric explained to the summoned group on how Asagi could achieve the travel and even told them about the existence of her flying kingdom. The moment the "flying kingdom" was mentioned the summoned group's eyes beamed in surprise and excitement as they will finally experience something different after quiteva long time.
"Huh?!? Wait a damn minute!!!"
Hearing Asagi's words of complaint, King Eric then confronted her as he spoke about his reasoning in a low tone in order to ease the situation. On the other hand Albion gave a look of amusement in the audacity of the foreign king by making things up to butter up the summoned people.
"I'm really for not consulting you about this queen Asagi, I didn't meant to disrespect you"
"Oh you really did disrespect me right now... what the hell are you doing? I'm not here in order to fetch them for some little field trip, I'm here to just see them... what the hell are you doing?" Complained by Asagi
"As I said I'm really sorry! I really need your help in developing the hero and its party Queen Asagi, as you may know the central continent is at peace which is quite good for the citizens but bad for the people that are summoned... as you said an impending war is upon us against am enemy far stronger than us and based on our investigation throughout the history, only the hero and its party could aid us in our times of need... but not only a simple hero and its group but a highly experienced one at that and experience is something we can't give them"
"....."
"You on the other hand could give it to them.... your the only country here that I know that are bravely exploring the other continents of this world and if the central continent is at peace that doesn't mean that the other places are at the same status as us.... I also know that this exploration is filled with danger, but that danger is what the hero and its party needed to grow to go against the enemy"
"So you want me to carry them all for some grinding?" Said by Asagi while mistakenly using some of the earthen vocabulary
Even though King Eric doesn't know what Asagi meant by some of the earthen vocabulary, he still somewhat understood what it meant by just looking at how Asagi react in distress. So with it, he then pleaded for Asagi to accept his proposal, which forced Asagi to accept it after some careful consideration.
"Fine! But we are still not over! We are still going to talk over this after observing the summoned heroes... "
"Alright!"
With that King Eric relayed the good news to the hero and its party which just caused everyone to erupt in cheers and expectations towards the new area that they will explore. After all they will now finally venture the world and observe the world in a different point of view.
After awhile King Eric concluded his announcement as he ordered the hero and his whole party to prepare to leave while also saying their goodbyes to the people they have connected with before going in a long journey in a faraway land. They were given one day to prepare, after that they will have to gather at the castle front in order for a farewell parade be held for the start of the Hero's journey.
The king and queen of the Orboume kingdom are planning to held the parade in a grand manner since this will be white a significant event which will be carved in the canal of history as the March of the heroes. Since there was also a record of the past events happening in such manner, it is only right that they too should do the same.
While the hero and its party are preparing to leave the country, the Ling and Queen of the Orboume kingdom received a second round of complaints from its allied country, while having the most serious and dangerous sermon from Asagi. After all the responsibility of the Hero's guidance was left to her, which is no small feat at all. Being a guide for the hero is the same of being its companion and teacher to the hero as well. Alongside it, she would become one of the highly targeted person by any enemy that the hero may met along the way, but since she had her own army to begin with, Asagi was not worried at all if some small group would try to kill her in her own field advantage.
Just like that a whole day has passed and the next morning came right after. The moment the time struck noon, the long line of parade had then commenced as the long line carriages carrying the hero and its party begun moving along the main road of the capital city of the Orboume kingdom. Because of this parade the whe main street was filled with people bringing many different emotions with them.
Some were cheering for the hero and its party, some were sad about their leaving, while some are basically neutral in their feelings towards the hero and it's party. After all despite the summoning of the hero and its party, none of the citizens knew about the looming war which would soon engulf the whole continent in chaos. This is the result of stopping the information of demons to spread towards the masses, in order to prevent panic among the people.
All they know is that the hero and its party were going in a long journey which would take a long time before they could return. But this journey would not be a simple one since the possibility of death is an all time high. Unknown to the hero and its party, in some parts of the main road, hooded figures could be seen eyeing them from afar as they watched the movements of the hero and its party themselves.
But putting everything aside, the moment the hero and its group entered the teleportation portal, they then finally arrived at the rumored heavenly kingdom: the kingdom among the clouds.
