VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

{ "What business do you have here?" }

The guards were blocking them, but instead of blocking them with spears like gate guards usually would, they had their magic wands in their hands, the powerful wands that were bound to them.

"Miu…"

"Muuu…"

Miu was amazed by the kind of Mana their equipment possessed and Az could tell the two of them were interested in them, so it was trying to hug the guards.

However, they would be attacked by a powerful spell if they did anything stupid without providing their purpose of visit.

"Here. We are Viscount's guests. He must be expecting us, so please check in with him."

She handed them a special envelope that had the viscount's unique golden signature made with the unique Mana pen that only a few people could use in this city.

{ "Please wait for a moment." }

They could tell the letter was authentic at a glance, and the Mana signature was also certainly a real thing.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But they still checked the letter with an item of their own to confirm if it was something that had any tempered elements.

"It will take a minute, Elio."

"Oh, I'm alright."

"Miu!"

"Muuuuu~!"

They didn't find anything wrong with the letter so they used their communication channels to talk with the guards inside and when everything was checked out, they nodded at one another.

{ "You can enter." }

The gates opened for them, and at the same time, Elio, Az and Miu felt a new wave of Man rushing out.

"Wow. This place sure has dense Mana. "

Elio has his heightened senses so he could tell this new rush of Mana was coming from the inside.

There was nothing special about the garden that they were seeing by appearance, but still, the Mana here was dense.

"Let's go, everyone… oh, and you can hug them now, Az."

"Muuuuuu!"

The slime jumped off from Elio's hand and started jumping before the guard.

The guard found the creature interesting so he picked it up and patted it as well, which Az enjoyed very much.

"This is an adorable companion."

Until now, the guards were using their Mana voice, but now that they were playing with Az and were looking at the joyous smile of Miu inside of the slime,

The two creatures were quite unique and the guards found both of them interesting.

They even wanted to touch the Mana beast Miu, and try to see how much they could endure the Mana poisoning. But, they refrained from doing silly things and returned both of them back to Elio.

"The viscount is expecting you in the hallroom."

They saluted them and went back to their posts. And, as the gates closed behind them, Elio and the little ones said their goodbyes to the good guards as well.

"They were nice people."

"You won't find nice people, nice guards to be precise, like them. The Cromwell viscounty has a strict moral standard on which they select their training candidates.

Not all guards you will meet in this world would be as nice as them. Especially when we leave this continent.

You will find the worst kind of jerks out there among even the simplest of the guards."

It wasn't a warning but a simple reminder of the information that he already knew.

As someone that had grown up in a unique family and had lived a unique life of his own, he knew what kind of people the world could have.

He was good with people, that was one of the reasons he had chosen to do his own business when there were other ways to earn money.

He was a big name when it came to the freelance industry. And he had not achieved that name and fame overnight.

"Don't embarrass me, and keep your dumbness locked up inside somewhere, ok? We might lose a quest that would be a direct ticket to the first enlightenment."

"I'll say the same for you. Don't do stupid things."

The viscount estate was just like many of the noble estates.

There was a big garden and a mansion was located in the middle of this garden.

There was a fountain on their left, a flower garden on the right, and there were also some specially decorated benches present in this garden for some special occasions.

Mansion itself was big, a white-gold house with a red rooftop.

It seemed to be a simple work of architecture, but in fact, that was not the case…

"Can you see this, Alex?"

Elio, Az, and even Miu were mesmerized by the grand house which in fact was the center of all the barriers and magic that was present in this garden.

"Of course I can't, dummy."

The mana was so dense around the house that it refreshed all of Elio's senses. And, it wasn't even harmful to those who couldn't perceive Mana.

This special Mana was present in the atmosphere naturally somehow. So, only those who could perceive this special energy could understand how unique this feeling was.

"Let's go in."

The front door, it was the entrance to the estate, and they did not have to open it themselves.

The moment they walked up to the platform before the door, the door opened on its own, and a unique aura flowed out from the inside.

"Miu…"

"Muuu…"

Inside the house that was bigger than He had expected, the master of the house, the master of this city, and the person in charge of this entire region of southwest was sitting on a couch, waiting for them while drinking his coffee.

"Welcome, saviors of Moongold."

Viscount Andrew Ethan Cromwell, the Magic knight of Kalp, the Saviour of White Princess, the Knight of Golden Lance, the Grand Punisher of Blood-iron Duke.

He held many titles.

"Hmm? Oh! They are here~?"

But instead of these fancy titles, people knew him more as a rule breaker, someone who loved his family, as well as someone who had burned down an entire fief just because the lord disrespected his daughter…
