Picking up Girls With My System

The two of them went to another room, right beside where everyone else was. With the help of a spell cast by the leader, there was no way they could hear anything they said inside that room.

“Who exactly are you?”

It was the first question the leader asked, but one that Arthur was not willing to answer.

“My identity is not the point of this conversation, but the treasure of this place is. What can you tell me about it?” Arthur said.

George was still linked, so he was seeing and hearing everything. He said that the Aagi family was on good terms with the Monlog family, and in fact, was helping them recover their former strength.

He did not go to details, but the Monlog family suffered a devastating blow a long time ago, and declined a lot in terms of power.

The only reason for them to be still at the top of the bloodline families was because of the power of their core members, which were so high that the other families did not want to mess with them.

But hidden plots still happened, and the Aagi family was one of the few that still helped the Monlog family, showing respect for their ancestors.

“Look, first answer me. How do you know about me? If you truly have information about the Aagi family, you must know we are not bad mages.”

“Brat, you can tell him you are from the Monlog family. He will probably think you possessed someone from this lower realm, and if he asks further questions, you can pretend to be me.” George said.

Arthur heard that and pondered. It was not a bad idea. The only reason he did not attack the man was because of the alliance the Aagi family had with the Monlog.

He could not deny who he was. Arthur had the Monlog Giant bloodline, and George was someone that helped him in lots of ways, and was even willing to help him leave that world when the time is right.

“I am from the Monlog family. That is how I know who you are.”

“What? But that is… that is… How?”

“Just like you are here. Now, for the sake of your alliance, can you tell me more about the bloodline treasure inside that place? And can we both have it?”

“First things first. I am Rolf, you?”

“Arthur.”

“Now, about the treasure. This is something that both my family and yours got to know about. Maybe you are someone that is out of the family headquarters, traveling, and that is why you don’t know about it. Anyway, it is a special tree that we still don’t know its origins, but the golden fruit that it bears can help us develop our bloodline further.”

“The idea is to get the entire tree, and leave this world to plant it in a place that both our families can take advantage of it, but this mission is time-consuming,”

“I had to slowly take control of this body, create an entire organization to look for the tree, and increase my level of power to this stage. And it is not over even after we get to the tree, as we will need more power to leave this world as well.”

Rolf explained what the item was, and what was the reason for him to be there, looking for it. Arthur was not sure if he would believe entirely in what Rolf was saying, but according to George, he would not betray the Monlog family, as they had a magical pact that prevented that.

“How do you got to know about this tree?”

“Well, I don’t know if you know, but there is a strange portal that appeared in this world. After that, countless people and races came here to learn more about it. So, that portal brought strange things to this place, and the tree is one of these things. I did not know where it was at first, only that it was in this world.”

The portal once again. Arthur came through that portal, but it seemed it had a lot more to it than that. And based on what Rolf said, more things came out of that portal as well.

“Is there anyone else from the same world as I? Or perhaps from another world?” Arthur thought.

If Rolf knew about the portal as well, then maybe everything he said was legit, and George confirmed multiple times that it was impossible for the Aagi family to betray them, even if they wanted to.

“I see. I heard one needs a human sacrifice to open a door here. Can we use one of your people?”

“Of course. Did Sven act rude? You can use him. Look, Arthur. That tree is something incredible that was not supposed to be in this place, so I believe the place we are about to enter is dangerous, and that is why I need your help.”

“I know, but treasures and danger walk side by side.”

Maybe one reason Rolf was sharing the information was not because Arthur was from the Monlog family, but because he needed someone strong to actually complete the mission and get that mysterious tree.

“Wise words. Are you willing to help me? You are someone from the Monlog family, so even if we get to the tree, you will be the one that will carry it.” Rolf said.

The words had an honesty behind it. Arthur could see that, and it diminished some of his doubts.

“I will help you, but the rest of the treasures will be divided between me and you, and I may pick first.”

“No problem. I had no intentions of giving the treasures to these outsiders, anyway.”

Arthur and Rolf shook hands, and an alliance that never crossed Arthur’s mind formed. Him and the Doom Order, that was something straight out of a fairy tale.

“Also, did you see some people that looked like this?”

He explained the appearance Hiley, and the others had, and Rolf knew about them, but they were not there anymore.

“We indeed had captured them and for that I am sorry, but they aren’t here anymore. After we realized only a strong mage could be used for the sacrifice, we put them on a ship and let them go.”

“What? Do you know where?”

“I do, actually. The three of them were already in the fifth circle, which meant they could venture into the central continent. As for how they knew how to get there, it seemed there was someone stronger backing them.”

One reason Arthur was there was to rescue his friends and meet up with them after a long time.

He was happy that nothing bad had happened to them, but also sad as he would not see them.

“No worries, Arthur. You are almost reaching the official mage rank, and then we will go there as well. I think one of the first things you should do once there is to find your friends, as the central continent is danger for those who do not have the power.” George said.

Arthur agreed to what he said and left. Everyone in the other room was eager to know what would happen next, and those from the Doom Order believed a fight would break down, but Arthur and Rolf got out of that room with smiles all over their faces.

“Everyone, this old man right here has the same authority as I now, so you better treat him like he is also a leader from this organization.”

“What?”

Not a single one of them could believe it, and even Signy, who knew how fierce Arthur was, could not believe he opted to form an alliance.

She was also strong, so she could tell Arthur could defeat everyone in that room alone, including the so-called leader.

If he could win against them, and have all the treasures for himself, what was the reason for him not doing it? What secret do those two shared?

Signy had millions of thoughts flashing through her mind, and she recovered only after Arthur came and tapped her on the shoulder.

“Let’s go, Signy. We will enter this place for real now!”
