Chapter 18 - 18: ‘I Still Have Very Long Way Ahead of Me…’ (2/2)

He can feel that there is something unusual, currently at work. Still, he tried his best to calm himself and dispel his suspicions.

”The Little Miss is doing fine, Divine Lord. You should stop being paranoid and concentrate more on your duties. You can always visit her when you have less work at hand…” Jairu lied again.

Jairu hasn't received any news from her, and he is worried himself. Still, he doesn't have to disclose that fact with the Divine Lord. He will surely be reprimanded from allowing her to go.

The first news given to him was regarding the information about the spies lurking in the mountain paths.

His men have appropriately subdued them. Unfortunately, they didn't manage to acquire any information, who they are working for, nor their intentions.

The following information he got was their arrival at the Mystic Spirit Border and their agreement with Holy Guardian Vermilion Bird.

At the moment, they failed to inform him of their movements, and its also making him anxious. Jairu's face involuntarily twitched as he regrets agreeing to her plans.

What if the Divine Lord decides to come back? He has tendencies of slipping out and doing things his way like that little girl.

Little Eu has given him a tremendous headache as he works as her accomplice and deceiving the Divine Lord. He just hopes he won't get caught or else...

Meanwhile, the Divine Lord cannot completely dispel his suspicions. Despite Jairu's reassurance, he knew that Little Eu is up to something. Still, he has no evidence to condemn and confront him.

Firstly, he needs to settle the issue regarding the Holy Guardians. Mystic Spirit Realm is a vast territory, and he needs those four guardians to lend him a hand.

Mystic Spirit is not short of problems while he settles on other matters. He can't possibly split himself to accomplish everything.

He is expected to take care of everyone's matter. He sometimes wonders why someone would like to be in his position? He can't even do anything without implicating everyone.

He then grabs his outer robes hanging on the black metal and beautiful coat rack. He prepares himself to visit the Mystic Spirit Bordertown and have his scheduled inspections. His four aides follow from behind as they left the premises.

Spies from other realms have been slipping in through their borders. He wanted to check the situation personally. How can they manage to slip through after so many fortifications? Who exactly is messing on his domain?

Meanwhile, Eu has left the Mystic Spirit Bordertown to search for the Lord Azures's cure. She is now in disguise as Young Master Euer. A persona is unintentionally created by Triteia.

”Triteia, who is that just now? Where is Sister Eu?” Lady Freya asked as she passed by to say her farewells to Little Eu.

”That is Little Eu… errrr~” Triteia almost forgot that Little Eu would be in disguise as a male and nobody should know about it. She stumbles on her explanation as she continues, ”The Little miss just left... She is back to the Inner Courts to discuss matters with Captain Jairu. That is Little Master Euer. He'll be in charge while she is away, so he'll working with Di'Anon in search of the Holy Guardian's cure...”

Eu is using a stronger, foolproof camouflage spell. It can deceive High-level casters and Divines. She can barely recognize herself in the mirror as she is looking at her male version. It is different from her concealment spell, which pales so much in comparison.

She decided only Di'Anon and Triteia to know this fact since she is working closely with them. She has to conceal this truth and lie to everyone else.

Her Master advised her to take extra precautionary measures and hide her identity as she deals with things. After all, she is dealing with someone she shouldn't underestimate.

Even with her seven-layered elemental magic, it is just a fancy ancient spell wielded by a little girl. She might be able to intimidate others. Still, she is not capable enough to face powerful, scheming hostiles at her current state.

She looks out of the window and watches the vast meadows that come into view as she murmurs to herself, 'I still have a very long way ahead of me…'

They have been traveling for days, and she is always consumed with these kinds of thoughts. Her eyes look as if they were searching and demanding for answers beyond the vast, beautiful, peaceful scenery.

Di'Anon refrains from uttering anything as he watches over her. He can't deny he is sometimes surprised by this little girl's capabilities. There are instances she felt like a different person that he forgets she is just a child.

Di'Anon and Little Eu is riding a self-driving carriage headed to the Eastern parts of Mystic Spirit Realm called the Forbidden Mountains.

It is a territory and dwelling place of powerful Ancient Mystic and Majestic Spirits. They wanted to live in seclusion and away from everyone or everything else.

Little Eu is seeking a wise ancient who could help Lord Azure recuperate from his ailing body and severe injuries. She is truly determined to reunite the Holy Guardians back in power.
