Reincarnated to Bonk in Another World

Chapter 109: A Wraith

After assigning what skills they were going to learn, Albert started their training immediately.

Fortunately, the Horny Jail was big enough for them to make several moves. As long as they weren't aiming for the wall or anything, they wouldn't break any items inside the house.

As expected, the one that showed such intensity was none other than Irena. She had battle experience and enough strength to perform everything. So, her training was intense to the point Yale asked her to go outside the town together with him in order to prevent the destruction inside the house.

Meanwhile, Albert was left teaching Bepe and Jessie. To his surprise, Jessie's determination didn't lose to Bepe's, even though the latter had sworn to do his best to practice to be the best butler.

It seemed Jessie had accepted his status and wanted to change wholeheartedly.

While he was training the two guys, he got a visitor. Only one person knew him in this town, so he left the house and met her outside, not planning to let her see the slaves for the time being.

"So, for what reason do you visit me?" Albert asked with a serious expression.

"Do I need a reason to visit you?" Erica asked with a smile.

"Yes." Albert didn't give her any face. He simply stated loud and clear.

"" Erica looked away, embarrassed. Although Albert had been clear in rejecting her, she thought their relationship was similar to a friend. But her thought seemed to be wrong.

Their relationship was simply a business relationship, and Albert didn't plan to raise that level for the time being.

After taking a deep breath, she said, "I have two pieces of news for you."

"Oh?" Albert nodded, asking her to tell him.

"The first news is Her Majesty has proven your Magic Potion and agreed with this business deal. However, I would need to ask how many Magic Potions you can provide every month."

"100 Magic Potions," Albert answered without hesitation. "I don't have a big organization, so I can't produce that much in a single day, you know."

"I understand. I'll tell Her Majesty about it." She nodded with a serious expression. From Lilith's expression alone, it was clear that she was happy with the Magic Potion. So, having 100 Magic Potions every month would suffice for now, considering Albert would continue to grow in the future.

She thought for a moment and continued. "Moving on. I would like to request you to help me with something."

"What is that?" Albert squinted his eyes.

"There's a wraith haunting an entire forest, causing a small outbreak at a time. We have stationed our people there to stop the outbreak, but we can't find the wraith.

"According to Her Majesty, you have something special that can see the invisible wraith. So, she would like to ask for your help."

"And why should I accept that?" Albert frowned. "I'm not her servant."

Although she wanted to refute Albert's words, Lilith had reminded him about Albert's temper. Hence, she took a deep breath and said, "Certainly. That's why Her Majesty is planning to give you another brothel like that for you to use in another city.

"She said you're planning to leave this town first, so it's the perfect time to prepare for it. If you request it right now, she can help with the renovation."

Albert narrowed his eyes. It was clear that she was planning to use this renovation to understand the layout of the Horny Jail.

At the same time, even if he rejected this, she could simply order the succubus to find out by charming the people who did the renovation.

No matter what he did, he couldn't see himself escaping from information leakage. Once again, he was reminded of how powerful the succubus' information network was.

[You should accept it. Even if they can copy it, they won't be able to activate it. At the end of the day, you're the master of the Horny Jail.]

[And if they do copy it, you can just strike another deal to make that place another Horny Jail. In other words, you allow them to copy the Horny Jail layout, so you can acquire them later on, considering it would be useless for them.]

[Also, the Horny Bat is the only thing that can transfer the prisoners to the Horny Jail. They can do it like a normal prison, but then again, they can't activate it. And with how it's built, the prison will be so brittle that they need to renovate it again.]

[There are certainly advantages and disadvantages. But from my calculation, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.]

'Hmm' Albert looked down while talking to Bonkey, making Erica believe he was contemplating the offer.

"I need to think about it first." Albert didn't immediately give her the reply.

"Ehm That's kind of bad." Erica looked down while having a troubled expression.

"Why?"

"The wraiths are summoning numerous ghosts. These ghosts are the ones disturbing the forests, forcing the monsters to come out. In other words, they're the ones causing this outbreak. So, if we wait any longer, the casualties will increase."

"Hmm?" Albert mumbled without answering her.

Erica paused for a moment. Seeing Albert didn't answer for a minute, she finally said, "The location of the forest is not far from Borsoli Town. If this is not taken care of, the soldiers will be exposed to more danger."

"Since there are many soldiers, why don't you just send those soldiers to handle this problem? With many of them marching toward the forest, I'm sure the problem will be solved. Even if you can't kill the wraith, you can kill all the monsters, so there won't be any monster outbreak."

"That's true, but the wraith itself is a powerful monster. According to the information, Madam Raisa will be helping you in this mission. As long as you can locate the wraith, she'll take care of the rest." She explained.

"Aren't you sending me to death this way?" Albert narrowed his eyes.

"No, no." Erica waved her hands and hurriedly explained, "We had sent our people there, and none of them could sense the wraith's Magic Power."

"Incompetence? Elites from the kingdom should be able to do it, no?"

"I can't refute that. The wraith is smarter than our prediction. That's why we can't find it."

Albert thought for a moment and asked, "What's the wraith's power Tell me everything you know about a wraith in general."

"A wraith is a ghost or ghostlike image of someone, especially one seen shortly before or after their death. This time, the wraith was born after one of our generals died. So, we're assuming her strength is that powerful.

"Their appearance usually looks like a skeletal figure draped in tattered rags. And due to becoming an evil spirit, the wraith still retains their intelligence along with their lingering thought or regret when they were alive, but they forgot about their memory, so they can't recognize anyone and treat everyone as an enemy.

"After some investigations, we found out that the wraith had a lover when she was alive. But because she was a succubus, the curse ended up stealing her lover's lifespan. Due to that, the general had been involved in researching this lust curse.

"And Her Majesty said this is the biggest reason why she wanted your help. She believed you could also give her some sort of closure."

Albert frowned for a moment.

[How about turning the wraith into your subordinate?]

'Don't read my mind.'

[They seem to be smart enough to follow you and can be your strength.]

'But I don't feel like doing it I mean, seriously a wraith?'

[But she can scout from the sky. And maybe she can help you with the ranger mission.]

'What did you say?'

[The ranger mission. Why don't you ask the wraith to bring you into the air and drop the Bonk Bomb? This is counted as you defeating your enemies from afar.]

'Seriously?'

[Yes.]

'You can suggest to me how to finish the mission but can't give me the reward for free?'

[I'm programmed that way.]

'Fine. Let me say it again, your creator is a sick bastard. Still, I will get a strong person, right? This wraith is a general, right? Since Raisa's level is 300 or something, the general should be around level 200, right?'

[Indeed.]

'Then, I'm going to be overpowered with a servant like that.' Albert smiled and asked Erica, "By the way, will the wraith retain its previous power?"

"Yes. A portion of it. But since she's doing some research while being a general, she's not that strong compared to others," Erica replied with a serious expression. "So, this mission won't be that dangerous, especially since Madam Raisa will protect you."

"Ugh." Albert's face looked annoyed. How could he not? He was happy that he could get a high-level subordinate, but Erica put down the hope. Although he knew Erica only said that to tell him about his safety, the excitement left his body.

'What now? A portion of its strength? The weakest general What level should I expect? If it's half of its power, then maybe level 100?'

[Don't be so down]

'How can I not?'

[Look at the positive side. You have a talented general in research. She should be smart enough to explain many things to you. In other words, she can be your secretary. Then, she's a general. No matter how weak she is, she should be able to fight like that of a general. She can teach other subordinates, so you can have more time.]

[Also, for now, the strong ones are only you, Yale and Irena. You will surely attack the opponent to get stronger. Irena won't be someone who will stay behind. As for Yale, are you sure you want to make him weaker by protecting Bepe and Jessie?]

[If you have this wraith, you can make her protect them while training them. This way, you'll have more free time that can be used to deal with other stuff.]

Bonkey's words sounded quite persuasive in Albert's ears. However, Albert still needed to ponder over his decision first since it would probably be better to kill some monsters instead of going for this wrath.

Albert pinched the bridge of his nose and ultimately said, "Alright. I'll do it. However, I have one condition."

"Please tell me." Erica nodded, feeling happy that Albert had agreed.

"Raisa is not allowed to kill the wraith. I want her."

"But she doesn't remember anyone in this world. Although you can somehow reason with a wraith, her hostility still remains because of her previous goal."

"That's my problem to take care of. All I need is to know whether she can agree with that or not."

"I will do my best." Erica sighed, not knowing what to say. She was stuck between two famous figures.

"Good. Is that all?"

"Yes. Do you wish to add another condition?"

"No. I'm going to search for another place to live in the future." Albert shook his head.

"I understand." She sighed and bid her goodbye.

Albert then came back into the house to contemplate a bit more.
