I, the Weakest Traveler, Start by Taming the gods of the Old World.
Chapter 37: The meeting

The twelve knights of the round table.

Each of them were seated round the table.

Looking at the entrance, Morded, the high ranking knight above all of them walked in. Her title, known as The Rebellious knight, was considered to be the strongest knight in Camelot.

The room was spacious, with chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, making the meeting room look right for the setting they had planned.

Mordred settled on her chair, her blade placed on the table before she looked at Lancelot, "So? What's with the sudden meeting?" She asked.

"You actually came? I was afraid you were going to ignore the calling like you always do." Replied Lancelot, the second ranking knight; title, The Knight of the Lake.

"Shocker, Lady Mordred decided to attend the knight's meeting, perhaps the world is ending."

Lady Gwen spoke, her long golden hair falling behind her, she was The Sun Knightness.

"Hey, Do you really have to comment on every little thing?" Dame Persephone chimed in, her hair purple hair dashing, radiant with beauty; title, The pure Knightness.

"Yeah well, you know how she is, all beauty no brain as they say." Lady Glaladriel laughed, brown short hair, title, The Perfect Knightness.

"Uhn? Wanna say that again?!" Gwen frowned.

"Sigh! If you all want to banter, might as well let us leave." Dame Belinda spoke up, The Loyal Knightness.

Sir Tristan, The Melancholic Knight.

Lady Brianna, The Pious Knightness

Lady Kealin, The Seneschal Knightness.

Lady Agatha, The Envious Knightness.

Lady Gareth, The Gentle Knightness.

And lady, Lady Liora, The Fierce Knightness, all nodded in unison.

"Good, then let me begin… The reason as to why I called this meeting is quite simple, we may have a threat under our very nose." Lancelot spoke, his words settling inside their ears as he continued.

"The boy with the name Traveler, Camelot's new Prime minister."

Mordred's eyes snapped open a bit.

"Oh yeahh, the black hair boy that stays in the royal palace. I heard about him being the Prime minister, what about it?" Gwen spoke.

"Don't you replace it strange that he got a post so high in power in less than two months?" Lancelot looked at her.

"Now that you mention it, Her highness has been giving him a lot of special treatment since his arrival." Agatha added, "Tsk! Who is he anyway?".

"We don't know. I don't think her highness really even knows either. We simply found him during our battle with the orc lords." Tristan answered.

"I heard he was from a distant family, Her Highness is not so reckless to pick up a ransom person and bring them to the royal house." Belinda spoke up, looking at everyone.

"At the end of the day, it happened. This man is currently living under our noses, with everything playing just as he wants it to be. If we are not careful, he might bring Camelot to the ground." Lancelot said with a serious tone

"Didn't he kill a Demigod threatening to bring down the capital a few days ago?" Morded chimed in with a nonchalant demeanor.

They all looked at her, surprised that she even said a word.

"Y.. yeah he did." Lancelot replied.

"And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he also solve the corrupted water problem?" She asked yet another question.

"H..he did. But that wasn't-"

"And where were you all when those problems occurred?" Mordred glared at them.

"I was carrying on a mission." Gareth responded.

"Same." Brianna uttered too.

"I wasn't quickly informed." Said Kaelin.

"You all had missions?" Gwen asked, looking around perplexed.

"So you all were utterly useless when the problem arised, and when someone comes in to fix your incompetence, you plan a small picnic date to talk about how he's supposed to be some kind of threat to the very kingdom you failed to protect? Pathetic." Mordred uttered with disgust.

The look of anger, confusion and realization played on everyone's face.

"Surely you've also noticed it! Her highness hasn't been the same ever since he arrived, how are you defending that man right-"

A simple glare from Mordred caused Lancelot to halt his words, as the aura around Mordred's body began to increase.

"Uhnnnnn?!" Morded grabbed her blade and balanced it on her shoulder, before standing up and standing in front of Lancelot, looking him dead in the eye.

Lancelot, clearly terrified, slowly reached for the halt of his blade that was around his waist, the rest of the knights doing the same.

"Don't ever place me and that moron in the same sentence, ever. If you all want to act like princesses over someone doing what you clearly can't accomplish, then be my guest, but do not drag me into your foolish motives."

As soon as those words left her mouth, she began to walk away, her voice echoing -

"And put those weapons away, you're only disgracing yourselves".

She left.

There was a collective sigh amongst them, as Lancelot settled on his chair.

'Mordred of all people took the need to step up for him? Just…what kind of evil mastermind are you… Traveler?".

….

"355, 356, 357, 358, 359…."

Ha Joon, was in the middle of his daily workouts. He was busy doing his sit-ups, his eyes glowing red with every pull he did.

[You have gained +1 strength.]

[You have gained +1 vitality.]

The notifications kept popping up.

Finally, he was done, and Ha Joon was seated on the edge of his bed, a cup of water in his hand, while he grabbed his magic smartphone with his other.

[Strength: 890

Vitality: 1200.]

'Hm, my stats haven't increased all that much since my battle with the Demigod.'

[The higher the stats number, the more work is needed to increase them.]

'Ahh gee, thanks alot for making this so much easier.'

[You're welcome.]

Ha Joon sighed.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.

Bang! Bang!

Immediately, his face lit up.

"It's the maid!!!" He blurted out loud, racing towards the door.

He reached for the knob and opened it, only to meet a chubby boy standing outside and looking up at him.

Ha Joon's smile faded.
