Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

After a couple of seconds, Daimon and the girls saw the so-called informant entering the room, it was a woman who seemed to be in her middle twenties, Daimon quickly inspected her.

First, she had characteristics of two different sea races, gills on her neck which were covered by a blue necklace, and her ears were fan like fins too, the only other noticeable aspect about the woman was that she was a middle stage Archmage, but unlike the shark guy Daimon saw earlier her threat level was pretty average, Daimon was sure Horals could fight a lot like her without too much problem.

But that didn’t mean he could lower his guard, some races might not be fit to close combat, but that didn’t make them weak at all, that was one of the first lessons Erin taught him.

The Revy family at the beginning was considered weak as they had to resort to schemes and strategy, until the three ancestors whose descendants became the main family branch appeared.

In other words, the sun, moon and twilight alluring foxes which were innately skilled in fire, ice and darkness magic, they combined their intellect and battle abilities to get a high position, fire as the main offensive, ice for the defense and darkness to destroy the fighting spirit of the enemy.

“Good evening, I’m Mary Kales a senior informant from the Kales family, a second rank family subordinated to the Blackfin noble house, at your service”, the woman rose the sides of her dress as she introduced herself, before she took a seat in front of Daimon.

“May know what kind of information, does young master need?”.

Daimon basically confirmed that she didn’t belong to the noble class, so he simply acted distant to put on an act.

“Latest important news of the four seas first, from the most relevant downwards”.

The woman evaluated the youth that answered her, although his appearance was nothing special, his bearing, manners and speech were of the highest order, probably placing him in a family that has some connections with the royal family, in other words someone at the same level as their master.

The woman then took out a book from her storage ring, and after letting a drop of her blood fall on it, the book opened itself and expulsed about ten pages from it, which she then placed on the table in front of Daimon.

“There are currently four important news creating waves at the four seas, I took the liberty to organize them starting with our Clear Water kingdom, his Majesty announced that the Trident of the Promise broke, at some moment between yesterday and today, meaning that the savior that would lead us out of this prison should appear anytime soon, a banquet will be upheld a week from now at the royal capital as a mean to welcome our savior”.

‘That sounds like the cheesy kind of mission that would be assigned to that idiot hero…’, thought Daimon, since he unlocked the Mission Temple, which he hasn’t checked yet, it is safe to assume other system hosts should have one as well.

And since they had the means to “officially” come to the second layer of the magic ruin, without being related to the tribes or the skelefiends, then, the only option left was this kingdom ruled by the mermen.

While Daimon was inwardly surprised, he had already supposed those two or probably their systems had some sort of connection to this place, so he didn’t show any visible sign of excitement.

The woman respectfully handed Daimon two pages, where the notice was written and perfectly explained, there was even an illustration of a blue trident that laid broken on the ground of a luxurious room.

“The second notice comes from our business ally, the Elemental Sea, their shaman has suffered a heart attack the past night when one of their two ancient relics shattered in pieces, he survived but entered in a coma, not before warning the patriarch of their four forces that rule the Chromatic Sect, that the evil has arrived at our planet, the ambassador of our Clear Water kingdom is negotiating a meeting between our Seas, to discuss the next steps of our alliance”.

This second notice did make Daimon raise an eyebrow, but then he remembered that one of the two guys he killed in the dimensional tunnel was… the prince from the Red Bone tribe, as for the evil, it could refer to Marcus.

The woman handed Daimon the written report which consisted in three pages this time, among them, the illustration of an old man with black skin caught Daimon’s attention.

‘Darkness affinity, or maybe a sum of fire, water, earth and nature’, thought Daimon, he passed the written reports to the girls, as he nodded to the woman so that she could continue with the news.

“Please bear in mind that the next notice comes from our anonym source at the Bone Sea, so there might be some discrepancies on it, but we have images to support the story, the statue of the Snakele deity that the south part of the Skalia continent as well as its temples were burned down by an unknown force, also the priests and other firm believers of Snakele were massacred”.

“As a courtesy, I can inform young master that a new belief is rumored to be spreading since a month or so ago, but no one paid it any attention until yesterday as they are the main suspects, unfortunately we can’t confirm it as our actives in a hostile Sea are too limited, and they are eliminated regularly”.

The report of the third notice was four page long, and it had more illustrations, just as the woman explained it was basically a bloodbath, burned down buildings, and a lot of blood that stained the ground,

The third notice didn’t make sense for Daimon, even if Marcus were to get the full support of the woman from the church of calamity, there is no way she could cause that much damage in a matter of hours, as she was only a Mage Lord, even if she were to be able cross realms, her strength wouldn’t be above the early Archmage realm, similar to Stella.

And they were among the strongest Lord realms, besides the ones directly subordinated to the army of their respective galaxies.

‘Someone… or something else is pulling the strings behind the scenes too’, thought Daimon remembering the moment when the roof of the dimensional tunnel teared apart, and then attacks from different beings tried to pulverize him only to be cancelled by the rune shark in his black badge.

Daimon looked into his pocket where the black badge calmly resided, since that moment the shark emblem hasn’t done anything else, on the other hand, the little octagonal beads that were absorbed by it were all gone, so it might have something to do with that.

‘Those sea crystals have the same shape… if not maybe I can try with one of those skelefiends’.

Despite the fact that the woman supposedly ordered the news from the most relevant to the less one, it was just a scale made up for these events, truth to be told even the less relevant one, overshadowed all the other things happening in the Clear Water kingdom, besides the thing with the trident of course.

Daimon also noticed the woman remained silent for a couple of seconds as if she was thinking on the best way to explain herself.

“The fourth most relevant notice could have been the second, but its price and exposure was limited because we don’t have visual confirmation from anyone, as the Maelstrom Sea is by far the worst… even the sea creatures that live there don’t respect the royal family, and there aren’t any fixated land masses there as well”.

“Even then, we paid a hefty sum to get the information from a pirate, the captain of the Silver Dawn pirates, the largest crew was severely wounded in an ambush, and the Devil Stingray pirates had taken over, so all the truces and peace treaties that had been respected by most of the pirates were cancelled”.

“There is even an ongoing rumor that the Maelstrom Sea has received some benefits from the Bone Sea, and they are now plotting against both our Mermen Sea and the Elemental Sea”.

Loyal to the fact that this last notice was a gamble, the written report only consisted in a page.

The woman noticed that Daimon was satisfied with the information she provided and she sweetly smiled, as she asked.

“Is there any other question, young master has?”.

Daimon grabbed the last page and after reading it for a couple of seconds he gave it to Aisha.

“Yes, Besides the banquet being upheld in three days, I want to know other places worth to see or events worth attending, the distance doesn’t matter”.

The woman nodded, nobles always travelled through the kingdom once they reached adolescence, visit other noble houses and make connections could be the difference between inheriting the position of their fathers or being dispatched to a secondary branch after all.

She then took out a map, and drew circles at different spots before she wrote some things at each of the circled locations.

“The banquet at the capital was planned to be one week from today, because the nobles from the farthest cities will take some time to arrive at the capital, as they all have their respective duties to attend to”.

“Some other events were cancelled due to the announcement of his Majesty, but these two weren’t as they are run by the oldest noble families, the annual magic beast hunt organized by the Malleus family of the minister of defense, will be held two days from now”.

“All the most important nobles will attend, because the prize is open to the will of the winner, as long as it is within the authority of the minister of course, but considering Lord minister is the Trident Marshal in charge of all the military forces of the kingdom, besides the royal guards, there are few things that escape his possibilities”.

“The other important event will be in four days, the three-art tournament held by the Arcarius family of the minister of development, where the young generation will be tested in duel, strategy and knowledge, the prize being an item of choice from a selected batch of items from the royal treasury itself”.

“On top of that, they will be upheld in the two most visited places of our kingdom, only those who participate will be able to visit them for the rest of the month as they are opened only once a month, the Wild Tide Reef, and the Calm Tri-Lake Forest, respectively”.

The woman respectfully handed Daimon the map, and he inspected it, the woman marked the three places, assuming Daimon will be going to them, as it went along with his current act as a noble gaining experience.

And while he was interested in those places, he was now inclined to attend… because the black badge moved a couple of times as soon as he touched the map with his hands, similar to how the thing acted as a coordinate when they were using the compass of the ships.

Luckily it was running low on energy or something along the lines, so besides moving a bit it didn’t do anything else.

Daimon turned to see the woman and asked his last question.

“Are the borders closed due to these recent occurrences?”, Daimon couldn’t directly ask how to go to the other seas, because that should be common knowledge among nobles, but given the current turmoil that has raised in all the seas, he was able to get the answer to that.

“The port at the east from where young master would normally be able to go to the Bone Sea, as well as the port in our Blackfin city that leads to the Maelstrom Sea are closed until further notice, as for the port at the south that leads to the Elemental Sea, is restricted now but not closed, so young master would only need to submit a form for an exit permission at the external relationship offices, and everything will be fine”.
