‘Knock’ ‘Knock’

“The shop has already closed” Aaron shouted from inside.

“It’s me, Ilario” Ilario shouted. He wanted to finish everything and go back to Fortis as fast as he can, otherwise he will get a really hard time with both of his mother and his sister.

‘Creak’

“Why did you come back again?” Aaron asked.

“I’ve already solved a problem for you,” Ilario said.

“Are you kidding me?” Aaron asked irritatingly.

Ilario showed him 5 Mythril Ores. Aaron was dumbfounded.

“You can check a mountain mine by yourself. I hope you will keep your words,” said Ilario calmly. “I give you all of these Mythril Ores.”

“Aha…Yes,” Aaron said shortly, he was still shocking.

We went back to the inn for taking some rest before go back to Fortis tomorrow.

The next day, Letitia woke up at noon, she had exhausted her magic power since yesterday. She hurried to finish her lunch and prepared herself to go back.

“Will it be all right, if we use ‘Teleport’ back to Fortis, Sister?” Ilario asked.

She felt dizzy after we used ‘Teleport’ yesterday.

“It’s all right,” Letitia said, she felt guilty for waking up late.

We teleported back to the city of Fortis. Ilario bought many pieces of cakes for Beatrice as a promise. We went back to the castle before sunset.

Ilario went to meet his father firstly.

‘Knock’ ‘Knock’

“It’s me, Father” Ilario said.

“Come in,” Lucifer said, “you came back in time, Eli” He smiled at Ilario, he also knew that Ilario will get scold from Bellatrix if he came back late.

Ilario reported everything to his father.

“You mean, they were experimenting on Sicarius with Hydra!” said Lucifer seriously.

“Yes, I think that they tried to make many kinds of experimental monsters and Sicarii, Father” Ilario said.

“What about The Draco Knights? Is it possible for them to fight with these kinds of monsters?” Lucifer asked.

“They have potential with their fighting skill but their magic powers were not enough to win against the high level of monsters or Sicarius. But, I will upgrade the new weapon for them. If it’s succeeded, they will probably fight with Sicarius by working as a teamwork,” Ilario said.

“Is it better that we find more people like Letitia?” Lucifer asked.

“Yes, it is, Father” Ilario said, “But, I knew that it might be hard to find someone like Letitia aside from Fortis Bloodline. It’s better that we strengthen our Draco Knights and provide them full support.”

“All right. I will find more skilled people for you,” Lucifer said, “ah, the smithy was built on the back of the castle, I’ve prepared the necessary things for them including their house.”

“Thank you, Father” Ilario said. “Could I have many of light, fire and wind magic stones, Father? I have to prepare for our blacksmith.”

“Of course. I will tell Curtis to prepare fire and wind magic stones for you but I have to prepare light magic stones by myself. Only direct bloodline, who possess light magic power, can mine it. I will take you there after you reached to the age of 18,” said Lucifer kindly.

“Thank you, Father” Ilario said.

Ilario went out of the room, he saw Curtis nearby.

“Her Ladyship has invited you for dinner, Young Lord” said Curtis politely.

“Did she know I came back?” Ilario asked.

“Yes, Young Lord” Curtis said and led him to the dining room.

“Brother!” Beatrice run up at him. Ilario held her and kissed her on the cheek.

“I bought many cakes for you as a promise. Do you want to eat it after dinner?” Ilario asked Beatrice kindly.

“Yes,” said Beatrice happily.

“I’m back, Mother” Ilario said.

“All right. Take a seat,” said Bellatrix kindly, she was happy that his son kept his words.

Ilario gave the cakes to servants. He held Beatrice to her seat and hugged his mother.

“Did you forget something, Eli?” Bellatrix asked Ilario.

Ilario kissed her on the cheek and went to his seat. He must satisfy all the requirements from them both (=>otherwise they will transform into the bosses who are scarier than monsters (>^<)).

The next morning, Ilario went to The Training Arena. Augustine was waiting for him.

“I got commanded from Lord Lucifer to receive a training from you, Young Lord” said Augustine politely.

“All right. I will introduce you to The Draco Knights,” Ilario said.

“Everyone, this is Viscount Augustine Scutum, he is a Knight Commander of Fortis Army. He will train with us from today onward,” said Ilario, he introduced Augustine to all of The Draco Knights and let them greet each other.

Ilario told Augustine to put the weight bracelets on his wrists and ankles every time of training. He let him fight with Letitia because they both are Bellators. They needed to train separately.

Ilario trained all The Draco Knight by himself.

“Today I will be the griffins for you. Chose the weapons you like. You all fight together and use everything you have. Don’t forget that griffin could breathe fire,” Ilario said.

Ilario activated “Wind Dragon Wings” and flew up in the air. He started to attack with ‘Fire Raining’. Volante, Horace, and Rose used their shields to block the attacks, they were protecting ‘Archery team’ Marbel, Julia, Violet and Calton. Archery team shot the booster arrows at Ilario continually. Ilario blocked the attacks, he activated more ‘Fire Raining’ to attack them and flew down to hit at Ultima but she could block and cut the Fire Raining on time. Archery team shot the booster arrows at Ilario but he dodged and flew up in the air. — Ilario resembled the attack of a group of griffins, he attacked countless times on The Draco Knights until they were able to work together smoothly and attacked him back efficiently. They had exhausted their cursus power from fighting with Ilario for 2 hours.

“Try to train by grouping a group of 2, 4 and 8 people and rotate the members until you were familiar to everyone. You all need to be very flexible to work together in all kinds of situation,” said Ilario.

“Yes, My Lord” everyone said.

The tough fight with Letitia was exhausted Augustine. She was rapidly improving her skills and abilities after she got the guideline and passed through the real fight in a mountain mine. Augustine needed to adjust himself for a while until he could catch up with Letitia.

Ilario trained everyone hard to increase more chance of winning the fight with monsters. They will be a great help in the future. As a matter of fact, there was no human who possessed magic power at very high level like him, not even talked about special power that he got from Athena Goddess since he was young. He must admit that he cannot fight all the monsters alone in the upcoming situation after Diabolus was resurrected by Ares God.

In the afternoon, Ilario has some free time. He made the drawing plan of gun and bullet. He had seriously learned about the guns and bullets in his previous life because he had to develop game with the real vibe and feeling for the players.

He chose the .44 magnum. It was popular, aside from shotguns. The players always choose the shotguns because it was more effective to shoot the target, even so there were some of players always choose the .44 magnum because it was more flexible and got reloaded faster. He thought that the flexible one will be suitable for The Draco Knights. He just needed to increase its power by installing magic stones.

The real problem was the way to make bullet, he could not use black powder because it was too risk to be exploded by using magic power. He changed the function by replacing it with wind magic stone instead. It will work as the wind pressure inside the cartridge and drive out the bullet to hit the target. He will talk this matter to Aaron later.

Ilario consulted the possibility with Luna and Solaris firstly. Ilario explained all the details to both of them by using ‘Telepathy’. They could read his mind, they understood everything that he wanted to tell them clearly.

“Is it possible for the blacksmith to put the light magic stones inside the gun, at the area between the grip part? I think that it would be flashy if the magic stones were installed outside,” Ilario asked.

“It might have some problem with the people who have low level of magic power. They have to take longer time to activate their magic power before they’re able to shoot the bullets. It’s better to make some hole that magic power can reach to magic stones directly,” Solaris said.

Ilario got an idea from Solaris, he used the same method with the bullet. He designed the bottom of cartridge by changing the primer cup to be the needle instead; the wind magic stone inside the cartridge will be cracked after hammer hit the needle, and afterwards wind energy will be released from wind magic stone, it will increase wind pressure inside the cartridge and drive the bullet out.

Ilario revised the plan again. Luna and Solaris agreed with the new plan after Ilario showed the final plan to them.

Beatrice opened the door, she came to find Ilario because he did not go to meet her in the usual time.

“Brother, Are you busy?” Beatrice asked.

“Ah, I’m sorry, Bia. I lost track of the time,” said Ilario kindly.

“It’s all right. Mom told Bia that Brother will be busy,” said Beatrice depressingly.

“Don’t be sad. Do you want me to tell you a new fairy tale?” Ilario asked her kindly.

“Yes,” said Beatrice cheerfully, she loves to hear fairy tales from Ilario.

Ilario made up the story of fairy tales by himself. He used his knowledge from his previous life and adapted the story to match with the information in this world. He was always activating water magic power to create the characters while telling her the story.

“Once upon a time, a little girl who wears the red hood…” Ilario told Beatrice a story of Little Red Riding Hood but he changed a wolf to be a Lycan and made up the story to match with her age.

“Brother, why a human could transform into a Lycan?” Beatrice asked curiously.

“Because that human was a bad guy. And…he likes to eat the children!” Ilario made the scary voice and moved a small Lycan that he made from water magic to bite on her arm.

“Kyaa…” Beatrice screamed, she did not hurt but surprised.

“It’s really scary, right?” Ilario held his laugh.

She said nothing but nodded.

“If you meet a Lycan, you have to run away and ask Ava, Vita to help you, Okay?” said Ilario kindly.

“Okay,” said Beatrice Obediently.

Ilario told her information of monsters pass through fairy tales, it made her remember and learn how to protect herself.
