Chapter 142: Anubis Desert Kingdom (1st Part)? by Harem-Fan

     As night was approaching our travels into the winding paths in the Infinite Canyon Mountains, my Royal Orgy was coming to an end...

-

     As I held the now dressed Angelfied Freya in my arms, we looked out of the carriage window, and saw the primary Rest Stop Portal Station in the front.

     Freya, who was in control of the duo, snuggled into my chest and said to me.

     "Darling, the Station is like the ones in the Beast Forest going to the South, except it is in a valley canyon. Many caravans will park in a row leaving a path clear for incoming traffic. In the morning, a series of 3 Gate Portal Stations will activate all at once, and our group will literally pass through 3 jumps at once, traveling almost 3,000 miles in one move, exiting at the last station near the entrance to the Anubis Desert."

     Basically in essence, we are going to be on a Gate Portal link-highway with two lanes, one outgoing and one incoming.

     All caravans will pass each-other side by side, while sharing the opened portals, using fewer magic cores for the time spent.

     The Gates only open 2 days a week to save on resources. Also, I learned that all the stations are run by our North Kingdom, as the Anubis Kingdom is the poorest of the Kingdoms. Even though the South is wealthier, it has fewer Mages than the Western Desert, due to its Anti-Harem policy.

     The reason for these portal stations is not for faster travel, but the fact there are two massive bottomless Cracks in the earth that are near impossible to travel around in less then a month. Even flight over these two large cracks in the earth are impossible as a strong gravity sucks in even a flying Dragon into its endless depths.

     As I held Freya, smelling Plume's exotic scent on her, I said to her.

     "I was also told by King Lucas that there will not be a Portal Station through the Central Anubis Desert, and only at the Isis Oasis will another Portal Station be usable. But... If there are endless sand dunes, how will our carriages move through the desert?"

     Mari in her white Mage uniform said for Freya.

     "Actually, the Horses and Mounts we use can travel through the desert, and we do not use normal wagons. All 20 of our magic carriages can be fitted with Gravity Magic Cores to enable the carriages to travel over sand, mud, and even water without issue, though it uses a lot of cores over time. This feature is normally not turned on to save mana."

     As I gave her a thumbs up in understanding, due to my new Item Creation knowledge, Zoe came to me and the Angelfied Freya. She said to us both.

     "Master Dear, I need to get back to the children and let Milly rest, so I will go back now. Sister Freya, let me examine you before you two separate, I need to make sure your possession has no... Side-Effects, haha."@@novelbin@@

     Freya stood, hitting my face gently with her white wings, and I noticed that Zoe had her sneaky pranking face on, so I watched in curiosity.

     Lane came behind me and held my waist, smelling my hair, and Mari also watched them.

     "Spring is in the Air... [Diagnose]"

     As the slightly glowing palm of Zoe moved over Freya, the light breeze played with her dress, hair, and feathered wings.

     As Zoe's hand hovered on the lower abdomen, her beautiful smile grew and she said.

     "Congratulations Master, Freya and Plume helped make you a child, haha

     Silence~! Except for the giggling Zoe, all of us were stunned, except for Plume inside of Freya's mind, who was telling her...

     ]Ah~! Freya, I got you pregnant, am I in trouble~♪? Oh, I hope it is a girl, she would be so beautiful. I love Sam, you, and the baby, haha~♪[

     Freya put her hands on her belly, looked at Zoe with joy, and said while mentally telling Plume...

     "I am so happy." ]Plume, I will never forget this day, thank you very much. You are my Lucky Star.[

     I patted Lane to let go, and then held Freya, smelling her hair.

     "My Wife, I will trouble you to work hard for the next 10 months, alright?"

     Her glowing golden eyes sparkled with tears, as she held me tight.

     At this moment, a golden mist came from Freya's nose, mouth, ears, and eyes as the Archangel Plume reformed behind Freya, who lost all of the Angel traits.

     As Freya held me tight, I opened another arm for the happy Plume, who in turn hugged Freya between us like a sandwich, and I told Plume.

     "Even though the baby is mine and Freya's, you could be considered half a mother for our baby."

     Plume, who also looked emotional, leaned in to kiss my lips gently, and nodded.

     And after the others congratulated Freya, Zoe left back to the Academy...

-

     That night in my Gothic Carriage, Vera, Dial, Morgan, Freya, Kayo, Kim, and Kelly all had a meal together enjoying my cooking.

     Mari was out doing her duty with the other Royal Knights outside of my carriage protecting us.

     Lane went to eat with the King and Queen, for appearances.

     Unlike trips before, my friends and Knights traveled in the general noble pool, like in Chuck's magic carriage, so he could be with his fiance Gloria Lily, and Nevin could be with Sue Tree. Frank will have to be a third wheel for a while till he gets to the Capital of Anubis, Windless City.

     Rando Miller (chandelier-guy) and his wife, Megan Wallis (Sue and Kelly's friend) will be in Vera and Dial's group for the exam.

     As our meal was ending, Kayo said to me with a smile.

     "Sam my love, tonight I need to feed, alright?"

     I wiped my mouth from the pasta I made, and said to my Ancestral Vampire Queen.

     "Headmistress Eon, I hope to get extra credit for these sacrifices, for feeding you twice, haha."

     Mwah! As her cool lips grazed my cheek, she said seriously.

     "My Dear, please do not forget to not lower your guard when we go to Anubis. Although you are bringing two Princesses home and the King and Queen like you, not every citizen will be so happy. Make sure and have me, or keep one of your Summons out at all times, like Freya here."

     Freya nodded and said seriously.

     "Vera, also keep Plume at your side as well, and Dial should stay with Morgan and Pluto. This way, Sam will not worry about you guys all the time."

     Kayo said with a smile.

     "Sam, although I am here for the Trilateral Talks, I need to escort the 1st year's like Morgan to the Lifeless Pass, so I will not be with you after we reach the Exodus Royal City."

     I looked at all of my women and said to them,

     "As long as you are all safe, I will fight hard to avoid danger, I love you all..."

-

     As the rays of the morning sun rose above the mountaintops, everyone began to prepare for the march through the gates.

     I exited my carriage, fully armed, I walked to my Nightmare mount, and got on.

     Although the other 7 black Clydesdale are also cursed with a blood-ritual to become Death Nightmares, it can only be done by hostile death, and not sacrifice.

     So this is the Nightmare that was raised from when the Demon Shark killed the Horse that Drake Fulbright used. Now, he is my personal mount.

     Clop Clop Clop! I slowly rode my Nightmare to the side of George Lion and a pair of my Vanguard Royal Knights. He smiled and asked me.

     "Sam, are you ready to enter the Desert Nation? I am glad you took my advice to come with us, because we will definitely fight monsters in the sand dunes."

     I nodded and got ready to summon, and said to poor Lion.

     "Yeah, I told the ladies to rest, and I will bring my partner for a ride. Stop the Slots... [Call Summons]"

     And next to my Nightmare from a yellow and blue magic circle, came a gothic black dressed Loli, with a black silk eye-patch with a white cartoonish skull and crossbones on it. (When Evil saw it, she fell in love with it.)

     Flick~! As Evelina stood there, she flicked her lace folding fan open, covered her mouth with it, and looked at everyone around.

     She grins and says with her left hand reaching for me.

     "Maaaaaaster~! Please help me up, hehe... Take me for a ride."

     I pulled her up in-front of me, and she sat side-saddle in my lap, while looking at George Lion.

     "Thunder and Lightning Man, you better be nice to my Big Brother, or I might get angry... [Call Summons]×2"

     Next to the Nightmare, two grey magic circles flashed, and the female Lich, Artus, and the large Wraith, Azazel appeared.

     "Artus, go and protect Mari, and Azazel, hide in Sam's shadow."

     Both Undead said together...

     [[Yes Master.]]

     Artus went to the carriage, and the large Wraith shrank into my shadow, then Evil said coquettishly.

     "Sam, I am going to take a nap, because I gambled for two nights straight, yawn~! I will kill anyone who wakes me up, hehe, night... zzzzz."

     As Evelina snuggled in my arms, George Lion with cold sweat on his forehead, looked to the others and made a shushing motion, I almost laughed out loud at their actions.

     Shaking my head, I made my Nightmare fly one foot over the ground to make my mount calm for Evil to sleep, while Lion and the other two Knights followed me to the front of the caravan.

-

     As I got to the front, I looked around the valley better with sunlight...

     This Rest Stop is a U-shaped path between two mountains, but it leads to a dead-end, with a wide Gate Portal ready to fire up.

     To the left and right, mountain walls have carved-out building structures like a multi story hotel built right in, allowing the guards and staff to live in safety from monsters, weather, and other bad humans from caravans.

     They look down on the ready to travel caravans with high powered magic crossbows, and keep the peace with vigilant eyes. 

     The now glowing portal is about 50 feet wide and tall. Although I am in the front with George and others, we are not really the front-most group, as nearly a hundred mounted Knights in heavy armor are ready to march forward, ready for attacks from the other end of the almost opened portals.

     As everyone was ready to move, a loud voice with Aura infusion was heard in the valley from the soldiers guarding the Rest Stop.

     [Prepare to move, the Gate is open in, 3, 2, 1, 0, Move...]

     As the hum of the portal rang, we could see beyond the ripples, a view of the Rest Stop nearly 3,000 miles away through the image of another interdependent portal in front of the other side, so we moved...

     It was a bit disorienting to see us pass through one large ring, and be between another large ring, with only a shortened enclosed mountain valley with no entrances to it, but we kept moving into the second portal.

     While we passed, a few caravans from the Anubis Desert passed by our group from the other-side, no one made any contact.

     As we passed the third ring that was also in a U-shaped valley, we could see the weather had changed a bit, and the light-rain was gone, and only a dry warm morning breeze greeted our faces.

     Our entire 40 carriages and troops fully left the Gate, and it began to shut down, because all registered groups passed quickly.

     They have to keep the gates open as short as possible or lose many magic cores in the process.

     Swift Knight Lion on my side, pointed his finger to the now opening rocks, and said...

     "Crown Prince Lucas, welcome to The Western Anubis Kingdom, the land of deserts, belly-dancers, and dervish warriors..."
