Several months have passed since the day we established our clan and healed everyone in that village. After that event, we found no clues about the homeless man's whereabouts. I'm afraid if he's actually a member of the cult.
As for the Dragon Dung Flower, Marie managed to breed that flower somehow. Although the range is less than the one we found, it's still useful. And Albert has spread the flower around the capital, except for the main entrance. This way, mages who are tamer, or summoner who always have their monsters with them, will still be able to enter or leave the capital.
Soon, the seeds of Dragon Dung Flower will be spread to every city and village in the kingdom. The only way for monsters to be able to enter the city, is from the main gate, or from the sky. Maybe from water as well if the city is next to the sea or river, just like Cassau.
At least this way, we won't have any trouble with stampede anymore. But the Dragon Dung Flowers are still under experiment. We don't know if it can stop a stampede or not. Especially when we know that we can still force monsters to get inside. Just like how I threw Blobbies into the barrier to get it pass through.
I don't know the fate of that homeless man, but at least we received something from him.
And I don't think that what happened in that village is affected because of my return to the past. Which means that it's something that won't change the future as I know it. At least that's what I hope.
We received not only the Dragon Dung Flower, but also the knowledge that Victoria's clones are able to make us work non-stop without consuming anything, and we don't need to rest at all.
Albert and Marie would ask me to do it for them when they want to finish some works quickly. And now, Marie's research is over and she's now enjoying her moment with her children more often.
The twins are two years old now, and Lana has become more proficient in ice magic. Weirdly, Victoria would often ask Lana to make snowman. Well, I guess it's just Victoria being Victoria.
Anyway, it's finally the time for training camp!
I transported a lot of people into Albert's private island. Of course I already planted a Blobby in that island, and patrolled that island and other islands nearby. Just like Albert said before, the island is free from monsters, but the other islands have a lot of monsters.
There is only one building there, which is Albert's villa. But it's fine since it's training camp. I'll just get every earth mage to build shelters. It will be a part of their training.
And so, I went all around the cities in the kingdom with portals to Blobby that has been placed to the leader of agents in their designated city. Albert sent those Blobbies via mail.
Some of the agents were surprised, but they are already prepared since Albert has inform them by using secret codes that some of the agents need to gather in one spot, and will be transported via portal.
Of course the one who has Blobby in Melk is Oleg, and the one in Mellian is Hill. And I'm slightly afraid when Hill is actually had me open a portal to his room. I had my back against the wall at all time.
In total, we have about 5 hundred people in the training camp. Some couldn't make it since we still need people to keep the cities under protection, but the most important ones are here.
Our plan is just to teach everyone about how to use magic efficiently, and improve their strength. I assigned Hill to improve the strength, while for magic, we have at least one teacher in each element. And obviously, I will teach air element and summoning element. It's good if we have more people that can use portal even if it's just two-way trip. Unlike what I can do with Victoria's clones.
We gathered everyone to an open area, including even the children and the family of the people here that come along so they can learn as well. Including the orphans from Celestine's orphanage.
I'm going to teach the children that there are no useless elements. I won't like it if they wished for an element so bad, that when they grow up, they will despair when they didn't manifest the elements they wish for.
And my real goal is to show these people, who rarely meet me, to know that I'm the most important member of this group that aim to destroy that evil cult.
So, I stand up in front of everyone and introduce myself. Using air magic to increase the Volume of my voice so it reaches everyone.
By the way, although they haven't been accepted into my clan, Ellen and Jessica were invited since Albert said the more people the better. Especially when he already said that they can be trusted.
Though there's one more person who will be accepted into my clan if she asked. It's Ms. Wendy. But even though she's here, she hadn't asked to join yet. Candy is trying to convince her while she's here.
"Nice to meet everyone here. Some of you might not know me so I'll introduce myself. I'm Roy. The leader of Wolf's Crown clan. I'm telling you this since his majesty Albert has told me that all of you can be trusted. I'm a person from the future, in which we will fight against the Evil God cult, and eventually we will lose. I'm here to change that future. If you think I'm lying, you can ask Albert here. He has the power to detect lies." I said as I bravely pointed my finger to the king. To show these people that I think of Albert as equal.
Almost everyone is shocked with that revelation. It's normal for anyone to not believe me. I'll leave the believing part to Albert.
"I think my introduction is over. Next, Albert will explain more. He is more trusted than I am."
Albert then stand in front of me and started his speech. Of course I helped him increase his volume.
Basically, what Albert say is about the future, his power to detect lies, and hope that everyone will fight together. As most of these people are the kingdom's agents and guards of the cities in the kingdom, everyone chooses to put their trust in Albert. But I can sense that some individuals are looking at me curiously. Like Hill, Oleg, Ms. Wendy, Ellen, Jessica, and Thomas who know me personally.
I asked Thomas to be here so he can find a good member of the circus troupe among these people.
I told him that we're preparing ourselves in a war against the cult before, but it's the first time he heard that I'm from the future.
Thomas is planning to help us with the circus. By touring around the world, we can find if there are any places that have a lot of cult members gathering. Though his real goal is to have the circus so famous by touring around the world. That's his dream.
Thomas hasn't found anyone to be a member, so I told him to join the training camp with Albert's agreement.
Having some agents that can travel around the world freely is good after all.
After the speech is over, it's my turn again to say something.
"Because of Albert's ability to detect lies, he tells everyone the truth since he can trust you. It's fine to leave right now, but don't spread this story to anyone else. Is there anyone who wants to leave?"
I asked first in case someone don't want to take part in the war. But seems like Albert's speech raise their morale and instead, they are even more willing to fight the cult. Especially since most of the people here are those who failed to save someone during the stampede.
The stampede was stopped back then, but not without casualties. And now they know who to blame, and that we are trying to improve ourselves to be able to fight them, none of them want to leave.
"Good. Then, the training camp start now!"
With that as the signal, Celestine, Kayla, and Angela instantly build a shelter by using earth magic. It's very sturdy and detailed. Unlike what people thought about earth magic at all which is usually just an ugly looking earth wall.
"As you can see, we have no others place to sleep here other than Albert's villa. But there's no way that we allow you to sleep in the same building as the king. Which is why the earth mages today will learn how to control your magic properly and build a sturdy shelter. There will be at least one teacher teaching one element. And these three will be teaching earth magic and probably some other elements as well. It's fine to build a shelter that can only stand for one day, but every earth mage will need to be able to do it. if not, some of you might need to sleep outside. By the way, the building that these three just built is for your family who won't participate in the training. They will build more if that's not enough. Good luck you all!"
With that, the training camp started with earth mages practicing hard to build shelters since none of them want to sleep outside. Those who don't have earth element will watch how the earth mages control their magic to build a sturdy shelter. They may have different elements, but the basic of magic control is the same. Imagination.
While everyone is busy training, Albert approached me.
"Seems like they are motivated to learn and get stronger. What will you do now?"
"Taking a nap. The others can watch over them."
"So, you don't have anything to do for the rest of the day? Then I'll appoint you to babysit the kids. Marie and I will also train with the others. See ya!"
Albert run to the others as Marie come and bring me her children. Daniel and Hannah see that and now I can't sleep since I have to babysit all children that play around me. Even the wives of the guards or agents choose to watch the training.
…I still think that babysitting children is much more exhausting than training. I shouldn't have said that I will take a nap.
