22 Ch. 21 - The Great Pretender's training arc (Final)
Thankfully, the claws manage Leo's weight until he reaches the deck of the huge ship of Arendelle.
The aforementioned individual was then successful in his sneak, trespassing in the ship without anyone but himself knowing.
Upon arriving at the deck, Leo quickly noticed two knights in armor parading around where he is, so he immediately searched for a place to hide.
***
"I wonder why we're travelling to Ahtohallan all of the sudden. I heard the Dark Sea is the most dangerous sea in the world, crossing through it is almost impossible." Two guards in shining armor were walking near the deck, all while conversing with each other.
"I know right! I miss my family so much. It's been a week since we've been on this ship!" The other knight replied with fervor.
"Calm down, Luke. We've been through worse than this. Remember that time when we had to destroy several bandit camps around Arendelle all in just a week? Come on, you're stronger than this." The previous knight spoke with concern for his friend, trying to cheer him up.
"....You're right. Lana won't like seeing me like this. Thank you, Jaimee." Luke looked at Jaimee with gratitude.
While the two knights resumed their patrolling, behind two barrels, Leo can be seen hiding, blending among the darkness.
'Phew! I thought they were about to kiss just right now.' Leo wiped his non-existent sweat, fearing that he'd be the first witness to the rising of gayness in medieval era.
'I can't stay behind their barrel forever, I need a place to hide where I could stay for a few days. Speaking of which, I thought this ship was disembarking back towards Arendelle. I didn't expect Elsa's parents to head towards Ahtohallan! On my map, Ahtohallan is dangerous.' Speaking with unease, Leo was thinking of leaving the ship.
He remembered in the movie that Elsa's parents died in a ship. And guessing where this ship has her parents in, only an idiot wouldn't be able to guess where this ship is heading to.
To nothing but death!
Unfortunately, just as Leo was about to jump back into the waters and go back to the port of Zaria, a screen popped up in front of his face.
[• Quest Title: Change the History!
Main Quest: Save Elsa's parents, Agnarr and Iduna from their imminent death and help them reach Ahtohallan!
Secret Quest: ???
• Rewards:
Main Reward: 15% of Black Panther Template, 10 Gacha tickets]
Secret Reward: A Rare Skill]
'Really, Genesis? You're kidding me right? You can't just expect me to bring myself to death! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?' Leo complained in exasperation, sure the rewards are very enticing and almost made Leo crazy, but knowing what happened to Agnarr and Iduna, he hesitated.
If only the quest is all about saving Iduna and Agnarr, then he could've just destroyed this ship which would avoid them going to their deaths but after reading that he also needs to help them reach Ahtohallan, his mouth twitched.
Why does it feel like his system did this on purpose?
[Leo, don't misunderstand. The quests function is completely out of my control! They can only be activated if you're in the center or near the destiny in the universe. In this case, Elsa and everyone related to her are part of the destiny of the universe. ]
"....I....guess I have no say in this." Leo sighed, although he could just ignore the quest since there are no punishments for not doing it, but we're talking about rewards here. This is by far the juiciest reward he has gotten until now.
He would be an idiot if he ignored it.
Without further ado, Leo looked at the port of the Kingdom of Zaria for the last time before turning around to face the turbulent seas that are quite visible despite being night time.
***
Finding a good hiding spot wasn't that hard as there are many rooms and storage rooms under the bow of the ship, which also became his hiding spot after successfully finding a trapdoor that leads to it.
The only unfortunate thing is that it is very dark inside and there are so many boxes that one might think that this is a cargo ship instead of the ship of the King of a kingdom.
When Leo secretly opened one of the boxes, he was stunned and almost blinded by the golds and jewelry in each box.
'Why the hell would they even bring all of these treasures to Ahtohallan, and they also died and the ship crashed! Are they dumb or something?' Leo rubbed his forehead while silently cursing Elsa's parents in his mind.
So many treasures yet he cannot possess it.
One, he doesn't have any big bags where he could store the treasure.
Second, he also can't use his inventory to store them inside as inventory would only store items that he gets from either quest or Gacha.
Lastly, what's the use of treasures when he can't bring them back to the Kung Fu Panda world.
How is he going to explain where he got all the gold and jewelry?
Hence, the reason why he can't bring these shiny objects with him.
'If only I could.' Leo mentally sighed in his mind, before shifting his attention away from the gold.
Leo then used several wooden boards that he found somewhere around and then made a simple sturdy bed where he could get some rest without getting dirty, of course just in case some knights went down here, he placed it behind two large boxes in the corner, so he would be technically hiding even if he's asleep.
Nonetheless, with his sharp senses, he'll probably wake up as soon as he heard footsteps on the wooden floor.
"Hahh~ although I felt like I'm skipping training but as long as I finish the quest, It should be enough to make it up to these days that would be wasted sitting here and probably a few exercises to prepare myself in the upcoming disaster." Leo muttered to himself while laying on the sturdy bed.
'It's not that bad actually.' Leo said to himself and just as he was getting deep into his thoughts, a pop-up suddenly appeared in his vision.
[Now that you are resting and in a safe place, it is time to tell this to you.]
"What?" Leo was suddenly confused when he heard the words of Genesis, is there something that Genesis is hiding from him?
If so, then why and what is it?
[You see, after using a multiverse travel ticket for the first time, you have finally unlocked one of the system's functions, which is Multiversal travel.]
[This function allows you to 'Mark' all universes that you have been too and you can use reputation points to travel between worlds, of course without the time stop as that is only exclusive to multiverse tickets.]
Upon hearing the explanation, Leo's eyes gleamed in excitement, he wanted to yell at Genesis for not telling him this earlier! However, he calmed himself down and listened more to Genesis's explanation.
[You're going to consume 10,000 reputation points per day in another universe aside from your home world which is the world of Kung Fu Panda.]
'Expensive but understandable.'
[That's all.]
'Okay....first of all, thank you for telling me this and don't you think it's a little expensive?'
[Don't you think it's a little cheap, Leo?] Genesis retorted back to him, shutting him up.
'Fine, stingy.' Leo pouted, muttering the last word despite speaking in his own mind.
[I can still hear you no matter how small the volume is, Leo.]
'I swear, I feel like Genesis just rolled its eyes on me.' Leo said in his mind and Genesis showed no response anymore, which seemed like it just cemented his guess.
'Anyways, let's see this Multiverse function for myself.'
[Status

- Template 2: [Locked]

Seeing the Multiverse function, Leo mentally pressed into it before another screen popped up in front of his face, replacing the Status screen.
[Current Universes:
- Kung Fu Panda [Main World]
- Frozen [6 days and 2 hours left]]
'Main World? Can you explain it to me, Genesis? There has to be a reason why it's called that, right?' As Leo doesn't know how the Main World is different from the other one, Leo could only ask Genesis.
[Main World is exactly as it says, it is the world where you can return to and call home. If you're in another world like right now, you can easily go back to the Main World anytime you want, however there would be a 5 seconds delay before you get transported back to the Main World and you won't be able to go back to Frozen world unless you spend reputation points or get a permanent multiverse travel ticket.]
'So, it's some kind of hub?'
[In your case, yes.]
'Huh, that's actually cool not gonna lie. It's very useful, especially in risky situations. Imagine I'm stuck in a small space surrounded by dangers, I could just use this function, though the 5 seconds delay would be a bit of a hassle but it's better than nothing.'
With those thoughts in his mind and Genesis finally having nothing to say anymore, Leo slowly drifted off to sleep.
***
"Captain, how far are we from Ahtohallan?" Standing on the bow of the ship, King Agnarr asked his trusted ship captain.
"Your majesty, we've been travelling from the Kingdom of Zaria for almost 6 days straight, any minute now, Ahtohallan would be within our sights!"
