While the pig king was publicly executed, I was roaming around the kingdom on Ray’s back to find any clues about the cult. I see other cities have troops from Consenza on standby. Some were in battle but it was over very soon.

Since there are many people in the castle who were related to the cult, it was as expected that there are many of them left in the city and also in other cities. But I couldn’t find anyone who is expert level or above. Probably because they are being called and have to gather somewhere. Most likely it’s for preparation of their next attack.

But at least I have killed those who have explosive devices in their mouth. It was easy. Since I move so fast with Ray combined with my Aura, and I have armor covered my body, no one will know who I am.

And sooner or later, the cult will realize that the person inside the armor is the Aura user the Evil God is afraid of. They will search for clues about me and try their best to find me and kill me. But that’s our plan. To get their main forces to come out and fight me.

Moving from city to city didn’t take long thanks to Ray. And finding and killing the cult members residing in each city also didn’t take long. What took me so long was that many of the soldiers from Consenza doesn’t even know me. So, I had to convince them that I’m not their enemy. And it was hard until I opened a portal to grab Claudia or Lynn.

...I had to do it five times in three different cities. So annoying.

.....

When I returned to the castle after I installed Blobbies in other cities, the pig king is already dead. His loyal subordinates were... there were none. But the prime minister, a man who seems to be in his sixties, can be trusted. At least that’s what Albert said.

He wasn’t at the castle before. So, he wasn’t killed by Mustache since I told him to kill every men.

And so, that man will be in charge for the territory until Lynn sends someone to lead this place. That prime minister was not loyal to the king but loyal to the people. He would do great since many of the vessels of the kingdom believed him more than the king.

The people loyal to the kingdom not because of the king. But because of the prime minister’s dedication to protect them.

As for the pig king, he has done many disgusting deeds. Including forcefully taking any girl he likes as his concubines.

The spy in Cassau is actually not spy for the king. But spy for the prime minister.

Most of the spies and agents were beautiful and talented women whom the prime minister picked at early age so they would keep their distance from the king. And they were sent to other countries for work.

In the end, the territory of the pig king is taken over by Consenza Empire. The former prime minister, although he is trusted by the people, he will still receive punishment. I don’t know what the punishment is but it’s most likely related to dedicating his life to this land even after Consenza conquered it.

Somehow, I feel like it’s easy to find capable people. There are many of them. But unfortunately, their circumstance didn’t allow them to prove themselves.

Though I can’t tell which one is a capable person and which one is not. Those are the kind of things that the kings are good at. Not me.

After everything was over, I brought Albert back to Tatrama. While Lynn, Claudia, and Celestine whom I brought later on to watch how well Lynn act as the empress, will stay and return on their own.

This could also be a warning to other smaller countries. If they are not doing well in protecting their own people, their territory will be taken over.

And so, it’s time to go back being a clown.

I opened a portal to Thomas’ location, which is currently close to Melk. We will arrive there soon.

“Next is Melk? I guess I should bring the others here as well. It’s been a while since we’re all return to our hometown,” I said.

“Yes. This is also where you first became Clarence, right? I remember there was a horde of orcs attacking the city, and you went to the guild while still wearing clown costume. Ever since then, I make sure to always remind you whenever there’s somewhere you need to go after your performance,” Thomas said.

Why? Being a clown saving people is cool, right? Rather than a clown terrorizing the city. Though my goal right now is to let the cult know that the living armor is actually an Aura user wearing the armor. So, I need to wear armor whenever there’s something to do.

“Well, since we will arrive soon, I’ll go there first and greet everyone,” I said to Thomas before I opened a portal back to Cassau.

I informed everyone at home that the circus is going to Melk for our performance and ask them if they want to go there. Everyone wanted to go there since it’s been a while since we return. The last time we were there was when the first tournament happened and TV was introduced. And we’ll be there for a show this time.

In Melk, I reunited with Oleg there. He’s a friend with whom we protected the city together. He’s also a reliable ally and the captain of the guard in Melk. Everyone in Melk trust him.

“I quit being the guard. Now, I’m just a hunter. A B-rank hunter,” Oleg said soon after I greeted him.

“...what?”

“Being the captain of the guard, and during this hard time, I was too busy. I could only meet my own son after he was asleep. And I left to work before he wakes up. And so, after leaving everything to someone I trusted, I quit being a guard,” Oleg said casually.

“...Well, that’s fine. Since you have a family, you’re not leaving Melk, right?” I asked Oleg.

“I won’t. Even though I’m no longer the captain of the guard, the people in Melk still supported me. I’ll just be a hunter and protect the city from monsters and any invasive enemies. And since I have more time, I can focus on cultivating and grow stronger while also watching my kid grow. This way, in case the enemy is attacking Melk, I can protect it,” Oleg said.

He might be quitting his job to protect the city. But he will continue protecting the city as a hunter. He is still the most influential man in this city. Much more than the noble that Albert picked to lead this city.

“Okay. By the way, you should understand why I’m here. I think you already know about it, but I will tell you anyway,” I said before I explained everything to him.

I told him how I’m on a tour with the circus and while I’m traveling, I will look for the Evil God and spread rumors about the living armor who helped people. Now it won’t be just a living armor. But a horse-riding living armor.

“I understand. Since I have reputation as the former captain of the guard and a B-rank hunter, I know many things. Most of the things I heard were rumors. But if it’s you, I’m sure you can find out whether those rumors are true or not easily. And I suggest that you won’t subjugate any monsters since they are important for the prosperity of the city. It will be bad if the number of monsters is lessened since they are important for us hunters,” Oleg said before he told me rumors that he has heard.

There are rumors in this city, nearby villages, and the surrounding area as well. One of them is even a rumor in my home village which I have never return to for a long time. I guess it’s time to return.

“Okay. I’ll check the rumors. If they are real, the living armor will come and help. But it won’t be right away. I don’t want anyone to connect the living armor with the circus,” I said.

“Now, let’s get to the most important topic,” Oleg said.

“What topic?” I asked.

“The circus. Where is our tickets? For me and my family. At least I want to enjoy the circus now because I was unable to before,” Oleg said.

“You need to pay for them,” I said.

“I won’t. I will visit thanks to my connection,” Oleg said.

“And you think I will just give them to you for free?”

“You will. Because I’m the most influential person in this city. If the circus came without inviting me, the people will have bad impression of the circus. And the attendance won’t be high just because I’m not invited,” Oleg said.

...shit. I can’t deny that. I don’t want there to be so little attendance just because of one man. I guess I have to give up here.

“Fine. I’ll give you the tickets tomorrow. I will make sure that you will laugh so much during our performance,” I said to Oleg.

After chatting a bit more, I started checking the rumors around the city. None of them were extremely bad. It was mostly about small crimes like thieves, but they those thieves didn’t hurt anyone. Those are not important to me. The guards can take care of them.

Tomorrow, the circus will prepare the tent and everything. The show will start the day after. I guess I’ll go and check my village after a long time before the show start.
