Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!
186 What It Means To Be A King After The Apocalypse[2]
What It Means To Be A King After The Apocalypse[2]
[Third Person POV],
Perhaps if the alternate dimension had domestic animals to accompany it, the scenery level would have increased, but because there were no animals of any kind in the alternate dimension, the world here still felt a little dull even with the great scenery that was boosted even more by the alternate dimension's denser mana.
Despite the fact that the alternate dimension was a little boring, Ace found himself becoming at ease in this type of environment.
Perhaps it was his personality, or perhaps it was his isolated childhood, but Ace had always preferred the peaceful and quiet environment to the lively one.
Perhaps this was also the reason Ace continued down the isolated and lonely road despite having people around him who could keep him from becoming a lone wolf.
Ace's nerves were so relaxed after returning to the alternate dimension that his steps reflected it.
Together with being exhausted from the event in the earth rats' den and the battles with monsters that followed, Ace felt like he needed a bath to wash the dirt off his body, which he immediately did as he returned to the waterfall where he had his bath previously.
Despite not having explored the entire alternate dimension, Ace could easily navigate his way back to the waterfall using the map.
He had noticed that the map changes automatically to the one here when he enters the alternate dimension and returns to the one out there when he exits.
It was reasonable however, because the two locations were not in the same world.
Ace arrived at the mansion after taking a bath and changing into one of the clothes Anna had chosen for him in the mall they looted.
Ace had not expected to see Anna because she had said she was going to see him at home, unless she somehow got home faster than him, which was also possible because she could fly and he couldn't.
Even so, he expected to see Emma and Chris in the mansion, but when he didn't, he didn't bother thinking about them because, after all, he couldn't communicate with them.
Ace made his way to the basement, where his room was located, with this thought in mind.
Meanwhile, in the settlement where Caleb was, Caleb was currently playing with a little boy who appeared to be six years old in his laps, surrounded by wooden houses.
Since the true world was not the old world before the apocalypse, where there were already made materials to build houses, the true world was obviously different because it appeared to be in quite a primitive state, so the people in the settlement could only settle with making constructions out of wood, which surprised everyone as it was made by relatively higher levels and humans in general.
The situation in the settlement was quite hectic right now, as people kept moving back and forth as the settlement in general began to take shape.
While this was going on, Caleb was still playing with his child in front of a specific wooden house.
Because he didn't know what would happen after the conversation with the king, he took advantage of the opportunity to play with his child a little more.
He didn't expect to be killed or anything, but he did know he was going to get a punishment, and since he didn't know what that punishment would be, he decided to fully spend this time with his son, but his moment was interrupted when he heard someone addressing him from behind.
"Sir Caleb," a female voice said, and when Caleb turned to see who had called his name, he immediately stood up to speak as he dropped his son to the ground when he saw the person who had called him.
"Miss Emilia!" exclaimed Caleb as soon as he saw the king's attendant.
Being an attendant may be seen as an ordinary and even lowly job by some, but it was quite different if the attendant was one serving an important person, let alone one serving a king, so it was no surprise that Caleb was quite respectful towards the king's attendant, Emilia.
"Welcome back, Mr Caleb," Miss Emilia began her speech, before going on to say, "I've been looking for your other teammates for a while now and haven't been able to find them, so would you mind telling me where they are so we can report to the king?" Miss Emilia, a young woman in her late twenties, inquired with a smile. Caleb's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but since he couldn't keep the person who happened to question him waiting, Caleb had no choice but to come out truthful.
Well, he didn't have much of a choice but to tell the truth.
"They're all dead," Caleb said, as the smile on Miss Emilia's face faded slowly before she spoke.
"How did they die?" She asked in hushed tones, to which Caleb replied, "They died at the hands of the monsters," with his fists clenched.
He didn't have a strong attachment to his teammates who died, especially the one who started the whole thing by losing the item they weren't supposed to lose, but that doesn't mean he didn't feel sad when he saw the people he had talked to for a while die.
The feeling was exacerbated because he met family members of those who still had a portion of their family members alive.
Miss Emilia spoke first to break the silence between them as she sighed.
"Let's leave that for later and report to the king," she said, to which Caleb responded with a positive nod, despite the fact that his heart was skipping multiple beats in a split second, but since he couldn't avoid anything, he could only nod to what the king attendant was telling him.
Miss Emilia gave a polite smile and a short bow as she asked Caleb to follow her as they both left the area where they were after Caleb told his son to go play.
It was past time he met with the king.
