Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Preparing For an Adventure

"Say, Aldred, do you like me?"

"I do. You're beautiful, brave, and perfect."

Edeline smiled. "I have decided. If there ever comes a day you defeated the emperor, I will be your empress."

"Now that's what I called motivation."

Edeline giggled. If others saw her acting like this, they would be in an uproar because she always held an ice-cold expression. "Thank you for singing that song for me."

"Anytime, Your Majesty."

They both fixed their clothes and went out of the barrack. Mary looked at the two, wondering what they talked about for so long in the barrack.

Edeline showed her usual cold expression. "My business here is done. I have great expectations from each of you. Do not disappoint me." She sat on her chair before the guards lifted her away.

"Aldred, what did she say?" Mary asked.

Aldred then explained everything to them about the secret treasure that could help him reach Platinum Rank. He also asked if it was true that Gold Rank took a long time to reach Platinum.

Mary nodded. "That is true. It is harder to reach Platinum than Diamond. I don't know why that is the case. There's some kind of boundary from Gold Rank to Platinum Rank."

"So the empress told us to find this treasure?" Bartrem asked. "Pharder wouldn't let us go, but if the empress herself says it then we are free to leave."

"I will follow whatever Her Majesty said," Mareona proudly replied. "If it is the treasure that she told us to look for, then we should start looking."

"The empress told us to leave immediately," Aldred said. "So we better make some preparations right now. And just bring everything, my divine dimension can store a lot of things anyway."

Bartrem looked at him as the soldiers wondered what Aldred talked about.

"It's fine, Bartrem. They are our comrades. If we cannot trust them with this, how can we trust them with our lives?"

Bartrem sighed. "Alright. Men, go collect everything you need. We're going treasure hunting!"

Mareona told her soldiers as well. "Girls! Go get busy. And don't forget to bring extra panties! The road is going to get rough."

Red Rose Platoon I and Pressure Platoon II rushed to their barracks and grabbed everything they needed for the journey. After they were done, they asked Bartrem about food.

"Food is not a problem. Don't think about it," Bartrem said. "Now put your bags on the ground."

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion but they obeyed his order.

"Aldred," Bartrem called.

Aldred stepped forward and told the system to put the bags into the divine dimension. The bags flashed with a bright light before they disappeared without a trace.

The soldiers widened their eyes.

"Aldred has the power to store things. Don't tell this to anyone else,"

The soldier nodded a bunch of times. They understood the significance of this ability. As long as they had Aldred, they could bring anything.

Aldred wasn't really worried someone else would know about his divine dimension. It was his leveling system ability that he was worried about because that ability was so vital and powerful that even a talentless brat could become an emperor.

"Has everyone brought everything they need?" Bartrem asked to make sure.

"Yes, sir."

"Then let us go. Our first destination is Mount Fargon."

"Where do you think you are going?"

Bartrem and the others turned around to look at the man. It was Pharder.

Mary stepped forward. "The empress directly ordered us to leave this fort. You cannot stop us."

Pharder snorted. "Do not think I am clueless on where you are going and what are you looking for. The treasure you seek is an open secret, and I will do the best that I can to prevent you from taking it."

Mary frowned. "This treasure is of no importance to you, Pharder."

"Maybe. But it is important to you, which is enough reason for me to intervene."

"You're a bastard."

Pharder laughed and glanced at Sophia. "Say that to the boy. He stole my woman."

Sophia stepped behind Aldred in fear.

"Don't worry, Sophia," Aldred said. "He cannot hurt us."

She smiled as his words assured her.

Pharder snorted again before walking away.

Mary watching him leave was angered. "I have to punch his face someday."

"He pissed me off," Mareona said, clenching her fist.

Bartrem kept his calm. "Brush it off. He must be angry since the empress came here and brought her subordinates to this fort."

"So he came here to take his anger out on us?" Mareona asked. "Now, I really want to kill that bastard." She glanced at Sophia. "How did you become his woman anyway?"

Simond swung his sword for the ten-thousandth time in the grassy field. His men lay on the grass in exhaustion. They had tried to follow his training routine, but it was too hard. Simond was a knight so it was normal that he was stronger than them, but his endurance might be equal to a Gold Rank warrior.

And Simond wasn't randomly swinging his sword. Each swing cut the air with precision and power. The soldiers were amazed by his ability. All of them believed that Simond would reach Gold Rank sooner or later.

And he did.

Simond's body glowed with powerful life force as he raised his sword high above his head and swung down. A wave of vertical wind shot forward, cutting everything in a straight path.

The soldiers couldn't believe their eyes. It wasn't that rare to see someone breaking through the ranks, but it wasn't that common either.

"Congratulations, sir." The soldiers cheered and clapped for his advancement.

Simond did not smile nor did he feel happy. Instead, he felt sad that it took him so long to reach this rank.

Suddenly, Pharder approached them. The soldiers stood up and saluted him immediately.

The man stopped in front of him with a smile. "Simond, I have a mission for you."
