Turning 14 years old made Zick look a lot more mature, the current him looked a lot more like a soldier in the middle of the war than before. Along with his handsome expressionless face, it brought a kind of charm of its own.
Zick sat down on the chair in front of the magic communicator and waited for the mage to connect him to Zevkoras.
TING~
With the sound of magic communicator activating, a transparent image of Zevkoras floated above the white ord. The mage beside the magic communicator left seeing it had connected.
Zick could see the corners of Zevkoras lips rising up forming a small smile.
"Really you have surpassed my expectations again.....hm...I don't like talking through the communicator so....."
"Father"
Zick interrupted Zevkoras in the middle as he already knew what he was going to say.
"What?"
Zevkoras asked with a curious look.
"I want to go on a vacation for a month."
Zick said his wish without hesitation, he wore a deadpan look which even surprised Zevkoras.
But Zevkoras liked the way Zick had changed, he didn't look like a naive child anymore. Right at the moment, he looked a lot more like how an heir should look.
"Alright, you can enjoy your time there and I will give you the family plaque, it will be delivered to you in a day. When you return to the estate, the reward of completing this mission will be handed over to you"
Zevkoras said this with an indifferent voice.
"Are you planning on staying in the Mhydrasvil empire?"
"Yes"
Zick bowed his head a little, not saying anything else.
TING~
The magic communicator stopped with a sound.
Zick looked at it for a second and then got out of the tent. It was still in the middle of the day, with the black cloud covering the sky it was hard to say what the time was, but staying here for two years Zick had gotten used to it.
Zick went to his house in which he has been staying for the whole two years, it was the same Barrack-like house which gave the feeling of being fragile. freewe(b)novel.com
Sleeping on the bed, Zick thought of all the things he wanted to do in the future.
'The first is the dragon heart....'
Zick had asked Zevkoras for a 'vacation' to collect the dragon heart. But there are a lot of uncertainties in it, right now the dragon heart must still be located somewhere in the mountain named
The three peak mountain.
This mountain is located at the Western side of the Mhydrasvil empire which was the opposite of where Zick was. It would take a week if he went by a carriage.
Zick already had another plan in case he was not able to get the dragon heart.
He would wait for another one and a half years when the Garcia family was destroyed, he would ask the cat for help as he thought that it would help if he asked it.
Then wait another half a year until the magic disaster occurs and be teleported to the second continent. Travelling there by boat is impossible as one of the five disasters occupy the ocean which is between the first and second continent.
The second continent was able to find a way around it but Zick didn't know about the method as it was not mentioned in the novel.
So it was better using the magic disaster instead of travelling when he certainly would fail. Though he had the cat, he still didn't want to take chances.
In the novel most of the people who were in the middle of the magic disaster were teleported to the second continent so this was a better option. He just had to stay in the middle of the magic disaster then everything would be alright.
In the second continent, a hidden lab exists, this lab was discovered by the protagonist with a lot of hard work. This lab belonged to the alchemy tower 300 years ago, they were destroyed by the joint alliance of all the kingdoms in the second continent.
It has done thousands of experiments on humans by using them as something expandable. They killed thousands of humans before they gained the animosity from all the kingdoms and were destroyed in the end.
But they had succeeded in their research, they had created a biological golem. The strength of this golem was immense, in the novel it was one of the strongest beings or weapon would be better. freewebn(o)vel.com
It had the appearance of a young girl with blue hair, it's appearance was made taking a species named wertes which have already become extinct into consideration.
Its individual strength reached to the level of grandmaster but Zick was more interested in its defensive ability. It was able to block the demon Lord's attack for a while by itself.
Zick knew the way to make it his own as it was very important to the protagonist. The golem was kind of incomplete and the method to complete it was very easy.
He needed this golem to protect him if he did not get the dragon heart.
'If the world is going to be destroyed anyway shouldn't I enjoy the rest of my life?'
With the protection of this golem and the black cat he planned on living the rest of his life in leisure. If he doesn't get the dragon heart he didn't have much of a hope in growing stronger at all so he could only do this.
'Well, I will pick this golem up even if I get the dragon heart anyway.....'
He felt that it was a waste to let this golem be taken by the protagonist, the Humanoid golem had intelligence which led it to grow affection towards the protagonist. That is the reason it sacrificed itself at the end of the novel.
Zick actually liked the golem as it would never get in the way of what the protagonist wanted to do, it would instead support his choices.
Thinking about his future choices, Zick wanted to get the dragon heart as it would be better that way. He couldn't trust people or things much no matter what the case is.
He had a little trust on the golem as it would not harm its owner and the black cat couldn't hurt him so he trusted it a little too. With both of them not being able to harm him, it put Zick's mind at ease.
But still, anything can happen in the future. He never wanted to leave things upon luck when it came to things like this.
Being strong would lessen the chances of him dying or being killed betrayed somehow.
The next day.
Zick sat on the bench eating his soup which was stale as ever.
A knight walked towards him with a letter in his hand. With his senses which have improved in these two years, Zick was able to sense the Knight's presence from a long time.
'At last.....I am leaving this place'
Zick knew what the letter was, It was an official decree sent by the temporary commander of the knights, this marked the end of his stay in the battlefield.
