57 Forest Zone (1/2)
Yale remembered the words he read from the mysterious pictures, and then he understood their real meaning.
”I had thought that the second legacy is to those who had mastered the first one, but that isn't true. The second legacy is only to those who can see through the illusions and have mastered the first spell in the wall.”
After reaching that conclusion, Yale doubted that anyone else would be able to obtain Shape Shift legacy, Illusion immunity wasn't an ordinary skill after all.
Beside Serka, Nurvey had also mastered the spell while Yale was in his enlightenment, the other two wasn't very well suited to that spell, so they gave up in mastering it.
The group followed Yale to the other small houses, but there wasn't any other skill left as a legacy, only random stuff that was somewhat valuable but could move the wealthy nobles.
They distributed it equally even if Yale wanted to keep only a sword and a bow he found of his liking.
It wasn't that Yale didn't want more things, but he couldn't carry a lot of stuff without his mobility was affected.
”If you are only worried by that, I can help you to carry the items and give them back to you when we left the realm, what do you think?”
Kermu was only carrying one spatial artifact but was a top-grade one with a lot of space for storage; he had more than enough to safeguard Yale's belongings.
”Then, I will trouble you.”
Yale wasn't worried that Kermu wanted to keep the items to himself, to a noble, those items weren't that valuable. As initially, Yale wanted to give up the items, Kermu could have picked them if he wanted, without needing to offer himself to help Yale.
The group finally left the hall, and they returned back to their previous formation to walk across the corridors.
They chose to change the area as there were more possibilities of finding another legacy in a different area.
They needed some hours before reaching the forest area, the change of regions was abrupt and unnatural. First, all was human-made, and in the next step, it was a dense forest.
The artifacts of the noble stopped detecting traps as they had entered the forest, Yale also didn't notice any illusion.
However, they heard a loud roar from deep in the forest.
The main danger of the forest zone was that was infested with monsters, and the one who roared seemed especially powerful.
In fact, monsters were more dangerous than traps as traps couldn't move from their original position, but monsters can move freely.
However, most commoners would feel more secure in the forest zone than in the human-made area.
The reason was that the commoners lacked trap detecting artifacts and thus the monsters were easier to avoid than the fixed traps.
The group didn't find anyone else in the human-made zone, but the main reason was that it was extremely difficult to reach the hall without someone capable of see through illusions.
They advanced without too much difficulty as the monsters they found were rather young and thus weak.
They even served as lunch to Yale and the others; they had only eaten fasting pills since they entered the special realm.
However, they didn't find any legacy nor any other people in the four whole days they had roamed the forest.
”I think that we should take more risks if we want to obtain something, we are playing too safe.”
Yale had turned more close with his teammates in the time they roamed the forest; he was able to express his opinion without worries.
”Why do you think that?”
Kermu had a leader-like personality and thought very high from Yale due to all that had happened since they entered the special realm. He was always interested in Yale's thoughts and opinions.
”The previous legacy was only possible to obtain by seeing through illusions which were the main danger of the area. If the elder who created this realm followed the same pattern, to obtain the legacy here, we need to face the real danger of the forest instead of avoiding it. We need to beat the strongest monster in the area.”
They had avoided powerful monsters because the realm restriction didn't apply to the monsters that had been born in the forest area.
The original monsters left by the elder were dead long ago, but their descendants still controlled the forest zone.
