187 Red Lion Station (1/2)

While talking they reached the gate and without any hesitation stepped into it.

After stepping through he had the same feeling, that he had when entering Jacky's Shop. This weird feeling of space being shifted. But unlike with the store, the feeling was much worse. While it had been a clear shift when entering Jacky's Shop, this time it was a wrenching feeling as if he was stretched in random directions at the same time.

Luckily it didn't hurt him but it seriously messed with his sense of orientation. As such he started to puke as soon as he left the gate on the other end. If the travel time had been longer than he surely would have puked out his guts if he even managed to stand upright and not pass out.

”What's the matter?”, Miss. Klein exclaimed worriedly.

”Damn. Why is this travel so nauseating?”, Ivan asked as soon as he got himself under control again. Luckily some spell formation had been laid down, which ensured that the premise was clean, so his puke had instantly vanished and the air was still clean and fresh.

”Huh?”, Serge was surprised, while Miss. Klein looked as if she had come to a sudden understanding.

”You felt the shifting of space?”, she asked him eagerly.

”Mmm.”, Jacky had explained it to him before so it was easy to answer the question. If he hadn't entered Jacky's Shop before then he wouldn't have been able to guess the reason for his discomfort.

”Amazing.”, his master exclaimed. ”That means that you are very talented in space manipulation.”

”I know.”, Ivan responded, ”Jacky told me too.”, he guessed that with Miss. Klein's status she would surely know Jacky.

Once again she was surprised, ”You met Jacky? Usually, she doesn't appear in front of customers.” Since she knew about Lara there was no reason for her to be surprised that he had visited Jacky's Shop before. But meeting Jacky herself was something else entirely.

”Yes. She even offered to teach me if my mana manipulation gets good enough.”

”Wow, you sure are lucky.”

Only now, that this topic was out of the way, did Ivan have time to look around. They were standing on a big platform on top of a mountain. Around them, there were flashes of light and other people were appearing constantly.

Unlike them, they were all wearing robes and all of them had an aura around them, which told them that they were dangerous. Below the platform was a street leading down the mountain and that street was framed by all kinds of shops and restaurants.

Before he could truly take in the scenery a voice interrupted him. This voice appeared directly inside his mind.

`@€€€EFfD€@DFDFE`, sadly he was completely unable to understand it. It was a language he was wholly unfamiliar with.

Luckily at nearly the same time, a system message popped up.

\u003c\u003c Congratulations, you have traveled to another realm. You have gained the title ”Traveler (F)” \u003e\u003e

It was then directly followed by an explanation of the title.

Although this title wasn't anything special and just about every traveler would have it, it was highly useful. And its use was directly made apparent when Ivan was now able to understand the words the voice had just projected into his brain.

`Welcome to Red Lion Station.`

It was now followed by some more information, `Please clear the platform as soon as possible to make space for others to arrive.
