Chapter 313 - Again (1/2)

The carriages moved on to their destination.

The road conditions were very bad. After a whole night of storms, the road became muddy and ragged.

At first, Roland had flattened the road with Mud to Stone, but as they approached their destination, their speed dropped because Roland ran out of mana.

Differently from the compet.i.tion with the female vampire the previous night, repairing the road on a large scale was much more costly. Metaphorically speaking, he had sprinkled water with a tiny pipe last night but was unleas.h.i.+ng it with a hydrant at this point.

Looking at his mana, down to its last third, and then at the b.u.mpy road ahead, Roland gave up.

They might as well take their time.

Supposedly, the destination was only forty kilometers away, but they only covered thirty kilometers after five hours.

They had to take a rest in a wood next to the road.

When they stepped out of the carriages and onto the wet ground, their boots filled with mud. Uncomfortable as the magic apprentices were, they were patient enough to scout the environment.

Confirming that there were no anomalies, Jerry dried the ground where they were resting with fire spells.

Then, they arranged the carriages in a circle and built a shelter in the same way they did last night. Then, they dug a pit and started a fire.

After they were done, Roland built an enormous wall around them with his remaining power to protect them.

The wall Roland built could block the rain, and it seemed unnecessary for the magic apprentices to build the shelter, but Roland still wanted them to do it.

After all, it was homework and had to be done. These students still had a lot to learn.

Looking at his mana that had been fully consumed, Roland gritted his teeth and put on the mana regeneration equipment from his system backpack.

Immediately, he became blue and s.h.i.+ning.

The coachmen dared not look at him, and the magic apprentices were full of envy.

Andonara’s eyes were full of pa.s.sion, and little red hearts seemed to be popping up around her.

Roland, on the other hand, was quite awkward.

But he didn’t have a choice. By his estimation, the vampire would come again tonight. The books he read in the library all mentioned that vampires could be vindictive.

The female vampire had been tricked by him for a whole night. If he were her, he would’ve been p.i.s.sed too.

But he had to trick her. It was not like he could let her break into the tent and go on a killing spree.

The magic apprentices began to eat, and Roland ate beef jerky.

They took a rest after having food. This time, the ground was dry, so the apprentices paved the ground and lay down.

They didn’t sleep well the previous night, and they had been on shaking carriages all day. They were all exhausted.

Very soon, the magic apprentices were sound asleep.

Andonara was sitting right behind Roland. While having food, she asked slowly, “Was the enemy last night good?”

“Kind of.” Roland nodded.

The magic apprentices and Andonara had been in the rock tent and had no idea what happened outside.

Before they came out in the morning, Roland had sunken whatever was left of the three dead mercenaries into a swamp and turned the swamp to stone.

Therefore, the magic apprentices only knew that something dangerous happened, but they didn’t know what it was.

“Then it’s time for me to play my part.” Andonara shook her fair hands before Roland and said, “I’m a Master Great Swordsman. Few people in Hollevin can compare to me.”

“It was a vampire.”

After a brief shock, Andonara was disappointed. “Well, they’re quite tricky.”

The Great Swordsmen were strong, fast, and capable of area skills.
