Chapter 130


Chapter 130 Strongest Sage, Departs


"Alright, is everyone ready?"


"Yes!"


"Yes!"


"No problem here!"


Several days after we gave the materials .


We completed our preparation and departed for Melkia .


This time we"re traveling by foot .


Iris attracts too much attention and her wings haven"t recovered yet, so I"d like to preserve her .


And above all, it takes less than a day to Melkia by running anyway .


There"s no reason in using a method that shouldn"t be seen by other people just for covering that much distance .


. . . Or so I thought .

"Umm . . . Shouldn"t it take around one week to Melkia?"


"Yes, I think it was around that long too!"


Alma and Ruli said something intriguing .


. . . One week?


"Iris, was that dungeon that far? I thought we should arrive before it got dark if I we left first thing in the morning . "


"I thought we would arrive before today is over too! I think it should be around evening with our pace right now . "


Iris has the same opinion as me .


If ours differ from Ruli and Alma, that means . . . the route we have in mind differs .


Maybe the terrain changed when I wasn"t aware .


Iris could survey the ground below by flying in the sky, but her wings were in bad shape until recently and she couldn"t have flown .


I should ask them for now .


" . . . It"s not even 100 kilometers from here to Melkia right?"


"I think it"s less than 100 kilometers if we go straight to it, but normally--wait, don"t tell me Mathi-kun, we"re going to Melkia in a straight line?"


"There"s a road until halfway through, so I plan to use it until then . . . and then we"ll hit a forest there right . "


I"m sure the forest had a name when I saw the map at the guild .


It was . . . Cikirisbia forest or something .


"Forest . . . If we"re going from here straight to Melkia, we"ll have to go through Cikirisbia forest don"t we?"



I got it right it seems .


"That"s our route . . . . Is there any problem if we go through Cikirisbia forest? Even if there"s some wetlands there, we should manage with some magic . . . "


"Not wetlands, but monsters! It"s a terrible forest said to make even veteran adventurers run away crying!"


"Not only they"re strong, it"s said that there are intelligent monsters there . . . "


I see .


Cikirisbia Forest is that kinda place huh .


That means . . . There"s only one choice .


"Alright, we should arrive at Melkia City by today"s end then . "


I veered away from the road we"re running on as I said that .


This should be around the area where we should stray off the road if we want to go there straight .


"Prompt decision really!?"


"A . . . are we really going to have to cross Cikirisbia forest!?"


"Yeah . . . . That said, we don"t necessarily have to fight . We"ll run away if it seems dangerous . . . Iris, can you do it?"


"Yes! I have absolutely no problem flying with three people on my back!"


I focus on the pa.s.sive detection after hearing Iris .


I"m using it to probe around the surrounding mana .


I enjoy good fights, but thoughtlessly charging into an opponent of unknown strength is just reckless .


You"d meet your end quicker than getting stronger .


That"s why you fight after confirming your safety .


"I see . . . Iris-san can fly if worse comes to worst . . . "


"I mean, feels like we"ve got nothing to worry about Cikirisbia forest when we have Mathi-kun . . . . "


We went forward to the forest while having such conversations .
