239 A Rewardless Sub-Ques (2/2)

”We have no time for that; we can't have the Larken Clan isolated for too much more time, and Nacesai City is too far.”

Lashar didn't know Yale's reasons, but she knew that Yale's request was still impossible.

”There was a portal, but I doubt that it is still there.”

Yale remembered the portal they used to go to Imperial City the first time, but that portal wasn't the type that it is permanent like the portals he used later on in the Zuatania Republic and the Anpaes Kingdom.

”There should be something big happening there to make you act like this, but a portal to teleport you to Nacesai City won't appear because you wish it. Maybe if you had recovered your powers completely, but by your words, you can't create that portal yourself.”

Lashar told the truth, Yale could at most attempt a random teleportation hoping to appear there, but the chances of that happening were almost inexistent.

Yale sighed and followed Lashar to the clan head's mansion; he was in a rush, but he wasn't able to find a reliable way to reach Nacesai City and break the plans of the True Empire in forty-eight hours.

He decided to go to check the place where the portal had been years ago to try his luck, but he needed Lashar's help to reach that place without being discovered by others. There were too many members of the True Empire hidden in Imperial City and surroundings, with Yale's current power going alone in that area was far too dangerous.

Yale was about to ask for that when he turned speechless after reaching the clan head's mansion. After crossing the barrier, it was possible to sense extremely powerful space-time ripples.

Lashar also detected those ripples and showed shock in her face. While she was shocked Yale rushed towards the place where the ripples were originating, the inner garden, and a smile surfaced his face.

There was a huge portal with the words Nacesai City written on a nearby stone.

Yale suspected that there had been someone aiding him from the shadows; the same person who made Aiwai find him or who acted as his background in Anpaes City. Thus, when he sensed those ripples, he rushed towards there with the hope that his guess was true.

Lashar also reached the inner garden, and she couldn't believe her eyes; she was sure that when she had left earlier, there wasn't any portal there.

”Who?”

Lashar asked hoping someone to appear, but no one replied. Besides Yale, Lar, Revgen and herself no one could enter that area freely without her noticing. Of course, that was under the condition that the one who entered wasn't far stronger than Lar when she laid the barrier.

”Lashar, no matter who created this portal. This solves my problem. I will come back in three days at most.”

Yale didn't wait for a reply before jumping into the portal; he truly didn't want to waste any more time.

Lashar was left behind without knowing what to say, but she couldn't accompany Yale, or the Larken Clan would be without protection.

”I hope that you really came back soon. I will make the clan remaining isolated as much as I can.”

While she uttered those words, there was a figure observing the situation in the sky; that figure wasn't hidden, but even Lashar was unable to detect its presence.

”Lashar, if you want to discover me, you need to train more.”

The Mysterious Expert smiled while seeing that Lashar still tried to find if there was someone else near to her after Yale left.

”Yale, this is the limit to my interference in this matter. If you save those in Nacesai City or they end as victims of the True Empire, that will depend on you.”

The Mysterious Expert disappeared from the sky at the same time that finished that sentence.
