King Darius wasn’t just a fool, he looked like a stereotypical foolish king too. He had a round face and a rounder belly. He was short for a dwarf and had a child-like appearance. King Darius wasn’t very handsome and if he wasn’t adorned in fine clothes befitting the royal family, Zero would think that he was a wastrel. His hair and moustache were curly and Truen’s ear twitched when the King’s nasally voice rang out in the throne room. "The both of you are envoys from Magnus Hilda?" Zero…-

It took two days before Zero and Truen were able to have an audience with King Darius Hills. In those two days, Zero went around the capital trying to find out more information about Princess Dorothy’s diet plans over the last six months. He was able to get some information from the adventurer’s guild and a record of the princess’ diet plans from the day it started. On the other hand, Truen started his quest to gather information about Dorgon Flintstock. The crafting guild only told him that…

The room that Zero and Truen were given was spacious and would normally cost a lot. Zero thanked the innkeeper for showing such generous hospitality. "Now that we are away from the attention of nosy people, how can I be of assistance? I’m one of the most well-informed people in Rocket Mountain. If there is a particular person you are looking for, I have affiliations to the adventurer’s guild. We can put up bounties and jobs for you." Truen shook his head. "No need for that. We just need to know…

Something didn’t look right. When Zero and Truen finally arrived at the capital of Rocket Mountain, they were stunned to see dwarves looking like skin and bones. Horrified, Zero asked around if there was a famine or league going on. The dwarves at Little Stone Town appeared fine so he couldn’t understand how such a horrible thing could happen to the capital. "You must be new," the fruit stall grandmother sighed. "We’re not having a famine or a plague but you can say that disaster has befallen…

Madeline was very busy. After the queen announced that a new shrine was to be made in Freya’s name, the artisan worship received a flood of orders. Everybody wanted to order objects of worship of the new goddess and her husband. Camie had to help her mother out so she was unable to accompany Truen and Zero for their journey to Rocket Mountain. "Don’t worry, we’ll be back before you know it," Zero said. Truen also told Camie to help them pass a message to the Chieftess when she saw her. "If…

King Richard was a fair and gangly man in his middle age. Compared to the more robust looking queen, he gave off the vibes of a gentle person. While Queen Rosalind had fiery red hair and striking green eyes to match her strong personality, King Richard was the opposite. He had very light blond hair that almost looked white and blue eyes when Zero last checked. King Richard showed signs that he was conscious a few days before when Zero checked on him. The doctor then introduced himself and explained the…

Ginger and cinnamon suddenly became very important for Magnus Hilda. The moment Queen Rosalind sent the word out, the news attracted merchants from all over. Schaf was no exception. Zero did tell him to try and compete for a business deal with Magnus Hilda and build more relations with the giants to be Half Moon village’s future ally. However, the village head told the goat merchant not to pressure Camie too much about the relationship she had between her country and the village. "Let Camie decide,"…

With the combined efforts of the servants in the castle, the array was drawn within fifteen minutes. Zero felt bad that it still took fifteen minutes. The food was getting cold and he was disrespecting the efforts of the cooks for working so hard to make a delicious meal. Once it was done, Zero thanked everyone and had them leave the room. One Zero was alone, he set up a magic barrier as a precaution so that nobody would be able to enter or peek. When he was ready, he activated the array and opened the…

To appear externally hardworking, Zero employed five spare PMs to take his place in copying talismans. He had about an hour to prepare them before the first offering. The magic trick that Zero readied himself for was going to be a huge blast by the time Magnus Hilda became plague free. Not to mention, Zero would probably never have to worry about food supplies ever again on his travels. Right now, the doctor didn’t want to trouble Zoe to cook for his meals on the go because the zashikiwarashi was already…

The clothing that Zero stole from the abandoned villages became useful when Zero had to fashion some female clothes for his meeting with Queen Rosalind. Although the fabric wasn’t of great quality, Zero had plenty of fabric to work with. The stitching techniques he learnt from Mitchnew came in handy and Zero made a new dress that didn’t look like a healer’s dress just for an audience with Queen Rosalind. Truen couldn’t accompany him so Zero made sure to keep his worried friend informed about how…
