Chapter 392 Cap 391: Invitation To The Illusory Forest Village(Chapter Preview)
This was the first time since before my evolution that I’ve been outside the Dungeon, this is also the first time I’ve seen this carriage, on the outside, this carriage is three times the size of a normal carriage, but on the inside, thanks to the various modifications like the materials from monsters with space elements and wood, to the magic circles that Rakan made and Layla as well as other Fairies with special element helping, inside the carriage is +36% bigger than the outside.
The carriage inside has space to take 4 people in the driver’s seat, has space to take 6 people in the cabin on the inside, and has a door that leads to the space where dozens of boxes can be stored, this place is also where Nix or I can open the dungeon gate without anyone knowing, but when the gate is closed dozens of boxes are placed here to disguise, this space has two doors, a door that leads to the cabin and a door that leads outside to load or unload the goods.
Also thanks to the monster materials this wagon was built from, it is very sturdy, it also has a lot of protective magic circles on this wagon, I’m impressed with everything they did with the idea I came up with.
This carriage has two monsters pulling it which according to Diana is called the Bear Hunter, this type of monster has great speed, strength, and stamina, so they are excellent for pulling big carriages like ours. .𝙘𝙤𝙢
I think the only disadvantage of this carriage is that it draws a lot of attention, the monsters that are pulling the carriage are very difficult to capture alive and even more difficult to tame them, besides the carriage is very big.
But you can’t have everything in the world, at least the carriage fulfills our current needs and is of great help.
Getting through the city gates was not difficult, outside the carriage in the driver’s seat are Kira, Diana, and Nira.
Nira presents her Trade Guild card, then they survey the carriage seeing me and the other people inside, after which the soldiers look into a reading crystal for a few seconds before asking for a fee of one silver coin to enter.
That was the fee for merchants’ carriages, if paid by carriage by visa, after we pass through the gates into the city, Sophia switches places with Nira, so I ask what the soldiers were checking out.
“Do you have any idea what these soldiers were seeing in that reading crystal?” (I)
“They were looking at the wanted posters.” (Nira)
“Not only that, but they also have descriptions of suspicious people.” (Kira)
“Yes, but they’ll see that there was no one on their list here, so they let us in.” (Nira)
“Weren’t we being persecuted by the Church of Light?” (I)
“They can’t issue wanted posters to Realms other than their own or send them through Guilds as they don’t have a reason to chase us.” (Vanessa)
“So we’re fine, I hope we can enjoy the trip…” (I)
I look out the window and am surprised at the number of Fairies and the few Spirits flying around the city, besides there were many Elves and humans almost in equal proportion in this city, there were also some Dwarves, Runics and Beastmen.
I was a little mesmerized by the surprise of what I was seeing, but then I saw a problem and turned my eyes towards the little Orion on my shoulder.
“Are you sure these Fairies and Spirits won’t notice me?” (I)
“I may hide your Aura and Master Presence, but Fairies and Spirits will still find it pleasant to be around you, your very existence makes sense of the order of nature, and being a Guardian of Phases and Spirits is not just a title, it It’s something that is part of your very existence, so I can mask that, but they’ll still have goodwill and a good impression of you.” (Orion)
“I hope that’s enough or else I’ll have to leave it to others and go back inside the Dungeon.” (I)
“The master need not worry, this time I will protect you, even if these Fairies and Spirits come to cause trouble I will not let them get close to you.” (Jade)
“If you do that it will end up attracting even more attention, so don’t do anything, let Layla and I take care of the Fairies or Spirits if necessary, we can drive them away without causing any problems.” (Nix)
While talking inside the carriage she continues her way to the place of the Trade Guild branch of that city, so Freya and Nira get off the carriage while collecting the items inside the carriage going to solve some of our problems in the Trade Guild.
After that Sophia starts to guide us to a place of inns, we pay a fee to guard the carriage and our Hunting Bears, after that we follow Sophia through a few streets before arriving at a shop.
As soon as we enter the store I see that the store attendant was a White Elf, as soon as we enter I feel people watching hidden and I knew where everyone was, but I didn’t do anything else.
I go to the attendant at the counter, when I got closer I realized it was a Gray Elf disguising herself just like Kira did.
“Good afternoon sir, are you interested in any specific material or plant?” (attendant)
“…” (I)
“I want 4 Illusory flowers, 1 ancient wood branch, and 8 tree cards.” (Sophia)
“Wait in the back room please” (attendant)
When we got to the attendant, I let Sophia talk to her as she must know what to do, after an exchange of words that must mean some password, the attendant points us to a door to enter, when passing the doors there was already a White Elf inside.
“Please sit down, I’m the manager of this place and I just want to ask you a few questions.” (manager)
As soon as we enter the White Elf introduces herself as the manager of the place and invites us to sit in front of her, when I look at her I notice that there is a Fairy who looks like a boy with white skin and tiny silver hair with inset wings on her back, this one boy was a Moon Fairy, I immediately noticed that he was doing the same thing as Layla of becoming invisible to normal eyes, he was sitting on the Elf’s shoulders and waved at me as soon as I sat down.
We all wave back at him out of politeness, but the Elf looks at us seriously.
“I didn’t expect everyone to be able to see the Fairies, I knew the boy would be able to since he is accompanied by a Fairy, but it seems that everyone can see it.” (manager)
Layla was hiding a pair of arms and her wings since we’re out of the dungeon, I know she doesn’t like to do that, but I don’t want to draw attention here.
But without realizing it I think I’ve already attracted attention for other reasons, the White Elf who calls herself the manager of this place keeps looking at Sophia all the time.
“What’s your soldier designation?” (manager)
“I am no longer a soldier, but I was once the captain of the seventh regiment of the Green Tree.” (Sophia)
“We have information that you became an adventurer from the Trigan Kingdom, is this your group?” (manager)
“Yes.” (Sophia)
“Are they trustworthy?” (manager)
“Yeah, they won’t cause trouble if no one makes trouble with them.” (Sophia)
“Since you’re here and you seem to be telling the truth, I’ll skip most questions as they’re unnecessary, but I still need to know the reason for your visit.” (manager)
The Moon Fairy flies off the White Elf’s shoulder and flies around me before sitting on my head and going to sleep.
“It’s not bedtime yet, come back here for a few more minutes and I’ll get you some candy, all right?” (manager)
At the mention of candy, the Fairy lying on my head flies back to the White Elf’s shoulder, so I lower my hand, and from inside my clothes comes a green vine that was wrapped around my arm that grows to form the Guardian’s body.
“This person is being called by the World Tree, that’s why we’re here.” (I)
“…” (manager)
The White Elf gets up and kneels in front of the Guardian.
“Your presence is an honor to me Holy Beast, had we known it was you no questions would have been necessary, the High Priestess has already warned us of your possible arrival before the end of the year.” (manager)
“You and your companions have the ticket released, wait a while while I get the invitations for all of you, but could you let me know your number first?” (manager)
“The Holy Beast, Spirits, Fairies and Familiars do not need to be counted.” (manager)
“If this is so, then there are 8 of us.” (I)
“I’ll go get your invites now.” (manager)
The White Elf was very surprised when she saw the Guardian, but just as we were thinking, they had already been informed that we were coming at some point.
The White Elf leaves for a few minutes before returning with 8 clear crystal cards with a golden tree marked in the middle.
“This is the highest level of entry invitation we have, so you have a chance to meet the leaders and the High Priestess if the other party accepts.” (manager)
“The High Priestess has left a message advising you to look for her as soon as you arrive at the village if possible.” (manager)
“In three days the next group will leave for the village, be here before sunrise if you want to go together.” (manager)
“Thank you very much, we’ll be here on time.” (I)
I take the invitations and leave with the others as we say goodbye to the White Elf, on the way out, I also say goodbye to the attendant before leaving the store.
