"Cultivators? What's that?" The salamander asked while tilting his head in confusion.
"Hmm… How should I explain this?" Gin thought for a moment and recalled the information. "We're training our body to train ourselves, right?"
"Yes."
"They're the same, but instead of gathering Magic Power, they absorb the energy in the air to get stronger."
"Huh? It's hard to gather Magic Power. Those who are strong right now should have a huge amount of Magic Power in their body since the start."
"Yeah. They call it talent or whatsoever. Anyway, that's not important." Gin pointed his finger at him. "You are supposed to be interested in this, you know."
"Why should I be interested in them? Although it's true that they might be the cause of the changing of an era, I don't really care much. I only want to fight against someone strong."
"They have so many strong people because they're cultivating. From what I can see, in those kinds of stories, they always have evolution, especially for a monster like you."
"What do you mean?" The salamander narrowed his eyes.
"You usually have two outcomes. First, you're going to be killed and absorbed by them. Second, you can evolve into a legendary being. Looking at how you are a salamander, you can become stronger and stronger and turn into a dragon or even more powerful than that.
"To be honest, reading those stories feels like it never stops… they can become an immortal that won't die from old age. They can become a God that can destroy this world in an instant. Don't you want to be someone like that?" Gin asked with a smirk.
"They're really that strong? Isn't it just a story?"
"Well, the story about Swords and Magic from my world are like 70% similar to this world. So, it might be similar." Gin shrugged.
"Really? If that's the case, there's a chance of what you say being true… And it might be the reason why the era collapsed…" The salamander thought for a moment and asked, "How about we capture them? I don't know their strength though."
"I'm not very sure. Although I want to know about cultivation… I can't do much right now since I have promised not to cause any trouble… Come on, I want to meet my teacher already to learn more about bonk."
"At least, hide your drool." The salamander looked at him with disgust, glancing at the drool that came out of the corner of his mouth.
"I can't help it. Imagining myself become a Bonk Cultivator and learn Bonk Intent is enough to make me drool. And what if I can reach a level beyond that? Like Bonk Elder? Bonk Sect Master or even Heavenly Bonk Monarch? I will reserve Bonk God title for my teacher." Gin clenched both hands as if getting fired up.
"But it's not like we can't let them go either. The fact they appear during this time means they might come again and destroy this continent."
"Fair enough. In that case, we should capture them."
"But you said you didn't want to get into trouble." The salamander was confused by Gin's train of thought. Although he and Gin seemed to be able to click with each other, he still couldn't understand Gin sometimes.
"That's easy. If I am not wrong, there are still the Nine-Tailed Fox and the shadows in this place. We can ask them to capture them."
"Hey, if you want a strong person, I am here."
"But you're going to destroy the city. It's going to be annoying afterwards. Besides, with us confirming this matter, we will have a chance to go to another continent to fight those guys. It's better if you behave for now."
"…" Although reluctant, the salamander agreed with Gin's words. "Fine. It's because you are the one asking me that."
"Hehe, thank you." Gin smirked. "For now, you should stay here while I inform them. It should be easy to gain their attention if I mention about these two… There might be more people like them, but whatever."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Just stay here. Your body is big, so it's easy to find you."
"So, I need to follow them if they leave."
"Yeah. Though, I'm sure the fight will be able to gather their attention for a while. Anyway, I should get going."
"Good luck." The salamander nodded and sent him off.
It took Gin a few minutes before he finally reached the nine-tailed fox's office. Of course, he was escorted by the guards.
"Hello?!" Gin waved his hand with a smile.
"…" The nine-tailed fox furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head helplessly. "What are you doing here? Even though Her Majesty has given you the permission to roam around, you shouldn't disturb others. Or do you want me to put you back in your room?"
"No way. It's just I believe you're interested in this one matter."
"What matter?" The nine-tailed fox tilted her head. "Does it come from your teacher?"
"Nope. It's from the salamander."
"Huh? What did he say?"
"The cause of the downfall of the Lunar Age…" He smirked and dropped the bomb. "We found two of them hiding among the people."
"!!!" The nine-tailed fox's mouth opened wide as though she couldn't believe what she heard.
"I'm not joking. The salamander has confirmed their identities as well." Gin waved his hand. "So, we're thinking about capturing them to gain their information. After all, if they appear again after almost two thousand years…"
"Are they going to destroy the civilization again?" She looked down for a moment before realizing an important matter. "Wait a minute. The appearance of the braves and Sir Albert… It's because the demons and the humans are in danger.
"Are they the cause of our danger? But looking back at the record, it's true that they have the history of destroying our civilization…"
Gin contemplated his words and explained, "I think that's the case. At the same time, won't it be a good bargain to stop the war if you capture them?"
"That's indeed possible. There's no way we won't unite if there's a greater danger."
"Right?!" Gin smirked. "So, we need to capture them and extract their information. I also have many stories about them, so I think I can help you in your investigation like… what to ask and what is more important…"
"Are you going to help us?"
"Our Kingdom is not a place that will take advantage of you for granted. If you contribute, it's normal for us to give our thanks. Anyway, if you want a reward, just ask your teacher since he will convey it to us." She snorted and waved her hand, asking him to leave. "Now, go."
16:56
"Hahaha." Gin waved his hand and closed the door. "I feel like the Lust Kingdom suits me more than the Risourin Kingdom."
"Of course. I would be lying if I said, 'I am not interested in them,' but I don't think you will reject me, right?"
"That is certain. I have heard that your story is similar to our world, so there are some benefits we will have by having you with us. But we still need to get an agreement from your teacher because it's not within the agreement."
"You don't want to ruin the engagement between my teacher and your queen after all." Gin chuckled. "Though, that engagement is a taboo back in my world."
"Whatever. Don't do anything yet. Let me handle everything."
"Are you going to capture them?"
"Yeah. I will capture them and lock them somewhere. We will start the investigation after our queen and your teacher have returned here."
"But isn't Teacher supposed to return to what that city called again…"
"We can inform our royal army to bring him here after the fight."
"Okay. In that case, I will leave everything to you. And if you want to make a move, it's better to do it as soon as possible. I have told the salamander to keep watching them, so you can use him as the tracker." Gin waved his hand and stepped back, preparing to leave the room. "Bye, Sister Fox…"
"Great Sage… No, Gin…" The nine-tailed fox called his name, stopping him from leaving.
"Hmm? Is there something wrong?" Gin tilted his head in confusion.
"…" The nine-tailed fox paused for a moment before opening her mouth. "Thank you."
Gin was taken aback by those two words as he stepped back.
"Our Kingdom is not a place that will take advantage of you for granted. If you contribute, it's normal for us to give our thanks. Anyway, if you want a reward, just ask your teacher since he will convey it to us." She snorted and waved her hand, asking him to leave. "Now, go."
"Hahaha." Gin waved his hand and closed the door. "I feel like the Lust Kingdom suits me more than the Risourin Kingdom."
As soon as Gin left, the nine-tailed fox immediately ordered the preparation of the troops and added the surveillance in the area. She even personally moved because they didn't know the power of these two people.
Although they didn't look to be strong, the previous era had been destroyed by them, so she couldn't underestimate them even if they were a toddler.
Gin also returned to the salamander to watch the battle, wondering what kind of fight his teacher had right now.
Those two were still unaware that such an important matter was happening in the kingdom right now.
