「Landfria」Part 1
We left the village shortly after that, and the next e before we returned to Raratoia and set off for Landfria
Preparations for the journey has been finished the day before and each of us was carrying a luggage bag of e deemed necessary over our shoulders
Even though I said that eren’t carrying all thatout in the forest during ation ht since her jobs took her all over the continent
“Are you guys ready?”
“Yeah” “Yes”
“Kyun!”
When Ariane and Chiome answered my question Ponta shook her tail and cried out impatiently
“Then we’re gonna use the village’s shrine to transfer to Landfria”
Ariane started walking towards the center of the village as she spoke
Chiome and I quietly followed behind her As I watched the two of them in front of ht it up
“Ariane-dono, is it alright for Chiome-dono to be shown the shrine and its function despite not being an elf?”
Ariane had shown o, and it housed the teleportation ic formation that had to be hidden from humans at all cost
While Chiome may be a Person of the Plains and Mountains, ere still revealing a major elven secret to her
Though it was only for short periods, I had been shown the shrine because I was an elf, plus I was capable of using unassisted transfer ic
Ariane tilted her head and started rubbing her chin as she thought it over
“Hh Frodoh, I haven’t really looked into it……”
It wasn’t just me that was surprised by what she said, even the usually stoic Chiome was shocked by our conversation
“These sic? And these shrines are located in every elven village and in my people’s country?”
I was also as disbelieving as Chiome was, so I looked to Ariane for answers
Those “ss that could topple this continent’s entire power structure Their existence was so kept hidden froht only the elves had access to them
“It was the the first chieftain Evangeline that devised the shrine transfer network, and when Fabuna’ha’s first king founded the country she personally traveled there to construct several shrines herself”
That nation has had connections to the Great Canada Forest since it’s founding
“Huh? Then why do we need to take a shi+p the Southern Continent, shouldn’t the networks be connected in some way?”
So about this trip, but Ariane had an amazed look on her face when I asked about it
“Although there’s been good trade relations since Fabuna’ha’s founding, it’s still a foreign country Neither party can afford to have instantaneous travel between them”
“Ah, I see”
I scratched the back of my head and chuckled at her reasonable statement
Even if the Canada and Fabuna’ha were on friendly ter the networks connected carried the risk of one of the the other one
In a
ny case, if the shrine transfer netas brought over by the elves, then the advantage still favored Canada
If the Fabuna’ha Kingdo like that would be a nightmare for national security
There were various circumstances involved with this, but it wasn’t particularly iht now
The fact that Chioet to the Southern Continent faster
“So can we head to Landfria now? I’m a little excited to see how these shrines actually work……”
My eyes moved in the direction of the shrine as I spoke
Behind the small shrine, a sh the heart of the village that was reflecting thefor fish resounded in the area
Surrounding the sh it didn’t seeher than the waist, acting simply as a boundary line for the shrine
The Shrine had the same fused structure as the elder’s mansion
The tarriors that stood guard in front of the shrine’s entrance took notice of us as we approached
Ariane greeted them and shared a feords with them
They had already been informed of our trip, so the two stepped aside and prompted us to enter the shrine
She entered the shrine with a s up the rear
The tree the shrine was built in wasn’t as wide as the her The atriu the tree
In the center of the rooical tool was installed, lit up by the illumination from crystal lamps
Inscribed into the surface of the circular platforic formation, and a faint luminescence was emanated by it
There wasn’t the slightest doubt that this belonged into a fantasy setting
While Chiome and I were fascinated by the shrine’s setup, Ariane spoke with a shortfor us before she stepped onto the platform
“Arc, Chioo Step on the transfer formation”
Chio onto the platform
Immediately after we stepped on it, the syht so intense I had to look awayas a floating sensation overtook me
When the lights faded and I looked around, I could see that ere in a completely different location
The small man that had stood in front of the platform had been replaced with three elves I’d never seen before
The furnishi+ngs of the shrine ere noeren’t all that different, but the scale of everything just felt bigger
Two of the of the people watching us had weapons hanging on their hips andbetween theentle smile
She gave me the impression of a secretary
“Ariane-san fro you”
“Yes, we’ll be in your care”
After Ariane answered the wo for you, followout of the shrine
Ariane followed after her with Chiome and me close behind
When we left the shrine, ere greeted by a new village
Large trees dominated the area and I could see that all of thes
The brick road that was laid out sat in the shadows of those trees and a lot of elves alking about, with the occasional People of the Plains and Mountainsthem
Chioed when she saw this
“Quite a lively village……”
“Since this village is a gate to Fabuna’ha, it’s larger than most in Canada”
Ariane looked back and replied to my comment
The secretary-like woh its ate
The mansion had the same fused architecture as the one in Raratoia, but its shape was different
It wasn’t as tall as the neighboring buildings for one thing
