In the northeast
As rumors circulated, the situation in the border city was very gripping and isolated due to the blocking of a group of B-level Monsters namely; Stone Ape. Stone Apes were originally volcano-dwelling monsters near there and it was rare to go down the mountain, but when there were meteors falling near the main road of the border town, the, they slowly began to inhabit the place and eventually there was a large migration of the Monster until they began to close the main road of the border city.
The citizens of the border town must have tried to fight back, but it ended in defeat because it was outnumbered by the group of Stone Ape Monsters which were estimated to number more than 1000 Stone Apes led by A-class Monsters namely; fire-tailed monkey kings.
With this state of affairs, there was no other choice from them other than to leave the border city and move towards the nearest city namely; the Black Rocks City. Although many left the city, there are also those who choose to stay in the border city for various reasons and until now they still survive with the potluck left in the city.
...
In the suburbs of Black Rocks
When Jani heard about the situation from the border town, he started thinking about the movement he was going to take and finally he said "we're going to negotiate with the Monster."
Jani's statement certainly took many nobles by surprise and began to protest.
"conversing with Monsters? Your Highness, please act more reasonable!"
"that's right, Your Majesty! They are brainless creatures, how do we talk to them!?"
Many more protests were issued by the nobles, but all of them stopped after Queen Agatha who was also in their army said "Can you all be quiet!? Stone Ape is a creature created by God Skaratu! What you said earlier is tantamount to insulting the God I follow, do you understand now?"
"WE APOLOGIZE, YOUR MAJESTY THE QUEEN!!" answer all the nobles who had previously lodged a protest to Jani. Queen Agatha motioned to Jani to continue.
"there are two reasons for me to propose this negotiation. First; our attack this time was a surprise attack for the Rohden army that was infiltrating there. If we do a massive attack to the group of Stone Ape Monsters, isn't it the same we tell about our presence here. The second is the number of those estimated to be more than 1000 Stone Apes, that's enough to make this Black Rocks town behind us fall apart and will definitely inflict a lot of casualties within this army not to mention we have to face their leader 'The fire-tailed ape king's equivalent to a fifth-rate mage or a fifth-ranked K.O.M as well."
"for these two reasons, I want us not to waste our time on them and prefer to negotiate with them."
One of the nobles asked "but your majesty! How can we communicate with them?"
Jani took out his golden scepter and smashed it into the ground while answering "with this scepter!"
*bang!*
The wave that appeared was not as strong as the previous one, but it was enough to leave all stunned and the two short swords on its back trembling slightly. Jani continued "with this stick I can communicate with a monkey-type monster. Of course I'll negotiate myself. Does anyone mind?"
"i object, Alex!" replied Lisa who had been silent since then, but now spoke because Jani himself was going to go to negotiate.
"why don't you agree, Lisa?"
"of course, it's because you're putting yourself at risk! What if the negotiations fail, are you able to escape from the 1000 stone apes!?"
Jani felt so touched that in front of everyone she hugged Lisa and said "thank you for watching me. If you're so worried, why don't you come with me?"
"can you?"
"of course! Agatha's mother will also be coming, won't she?"
"yes it must be, I don't want the future King of our kingdom to die silly at the hands of an ape alone." Queen Agatha answered Jani's question. In her heart she added 'of course, I don't want Alice to go berserk anymore either. Just imagining it makes me creep!'
"all right, then it's decided! Negotiations will be held in the morning!"
...
Everyone dispersed themselves and away from the royal tent there was the noble tent that was currently secretly gathering half of the nobles present in the previous meeting to discuss something.
One of the nobles said "this is a good opportunity! While the boy was negotiating with the Monster, we had the opportunity to commemorate Rohden's troops in the mine to strengthen the guard."
"how can we tell them? With pigeons? It's been repeatedly we do, but it's still been discovered and eventually many of our men are caught."
"Hehe. You don't have to worry, man! The pigeons this time are just bait and I will send the Stone apes we caught to infiltrate past their large group so we are unknown!"
"haha!. as usual you always have a backup plan!"
They all agreed to their plans this time, but there was one young noble who also had the same interests as them asking "why don't we just sabotage the negotiations this time by killing the leader of the ape group so they'll get caught up in their rampage?"
It was a good plan, but all the nobles who were here shook their heads and one of the nobles said "young man you're new here, right?"
"that's right and that's the fundamental thing when you're opposing the royal family's current power."
"uhhuh! What don't I know about them besides they're a collection of ex-K.O.M?"
"haha.mom! If that was all, it was certain that we would all easily overthrow their power, but until now we still have to hide like this because we know very well about their power and who supports them."
"first, the current King is Roman Van Lester. He was a K.O.M fire element of the intermediate level 10! Do you understand the meaning of level 10, boy?"
The young noble nodded his head as if understanding about how frightening someone at level 10 was.
The man continued "then the next first Queen, Iris Bluecrystal. He was the first Ice mage in the Human Race and his level had already reached tier 9 peak. That also means the other two combined elements of wind and water are at the same level. Then the second Queen, Agatha Rossewise. He is a K.O.M Blood element who is at the 9th level of the peak and there are rumors that also mention that Queen Agatha is a former supreme priest at the Skaratu temple whose prayers are directly heard by the god of beasts, who is also known as the god of beasts, Skaratu. Now do you understand why we're avoiding direct attacks on the royal family?"
The young nobleman now began to feel his fear and finally began to answer "well, I have understood it, but what about the third Queen?"
One of the nobles answered him "you don't need to know, boy."
"why? Isn't it just as powerful as the others?"
"no, the reason we didn't tell you is because you would have betrayed after hearing that."
The young noble was surprised by their answer. Just as everyone was feeling a little desperate, suddenly a noble said "everything please listen! Although it is impossible to bring down the current king, but at this time we must all be sure that soon we will reach our goals and finally true equality can be achieved!" after saying that the man raised his wine glass and once again said "to true equality!"
All the nobles repeated it out loud "FOR TRUE EQUALITY!!"
While everyone was cheering, none of them realized that outside their camp someone dressed in black recorded all the talk and then disappeared after saying "hoho... pulling up!"
...
The next morning
Jani, Lisa, Queen Agatha and several royal bodyguards went into negotiations with a group of apes blocking the main road linking the town of Black Rocks with the northeastern border town.
After they reached the pile of rocks that looked as if it was a landslide disaster, but if one paid more attention to detail they would realize that this was the result of the group of Stone Ape Monsters covering the main road with a pile of stones like they were building a fortress here.
By the time Jani's group got there, it was certain that some of the Batu monkeys were already watching them and some were immediately returning to the stone pile as they told their group about the arrival of Jani's group.
At that moment Jani immediately said "everything immediately gets off your horse!"
A few moments later, hundreds of stone apes appeared from the direction of the pile of stones preparing to attack them, but Jani was already prepared with his golden scepter and immediately he slammed his staff into the ground and shouted "I HAVE COME TO SEE YOUR KING! NO ONE ATTACKS!"
[title 'The charisma of the Monkey King has been used! All Monkey-type Monsters below SS-level will obey your orders!]
When hundreds of apes heard Jani's words they stopped attacking and then opened the way for Jani. Of course when everyone else wanted to follow too, they did not allow it and only let Jani himself enter the fortress of the ape group.
Lisa wanted to break through hundreds of apes, but was stopped by Queen Agatha who said "now we just have to trust Alex!"
...
On the other side of the pile of stones, it turned out to be home to hundreds of monkeys there and it was seen the number of female apes who were breastfeeding their children. Jani continues to follow some of the apes into a forested interior and eventually they reach a Goa there.
At the entrance of Goa Jani is surprised by two A-class Monsters namely; the Stone Gorilla which is also an evolution of the Stone ape. The event of the evolution of Stone monkeys into stone gorillas is very rare and if found stone gorillas will lead dozens of stone apes in one group.
That was what Jani learned in the Encyclopedia of the Arch Continent that he bought from Zein, but now he was surprised that there were two Stone Gorillas guarding a Goa here as if they had been ordered to do so.
There was a brief argument with the stone ape who was Jani's guide and after a few shouts that Jani did not understand, eventually the stone monkey left and now driving Jani is the rock gorilla who is the guardian of Goa.
Jani enters Goa and after walking quite a distance, goes, they finally arrived at a gigantic hall capable of housing over 1000 Stone Apes with their leader who was in the middle of a Magma Monkey King sitting on a mysterious stone.
Seeing this scene Jani was completely shocked because all the information he got turned out to be a huge mistake and this time was more worrying than he had imagined.
Jani tried to stay calm and then keep walking closer to this Magma Monkey King. When the monkey king saw Jani's figure he said in human language "ho? What do humans want to do in my territory?"
