120 Asking for a Favor (2/2)

”Yes. If you need them, just use the flute I gave you so they will come to your place as soon as possible. But of course, please protect us if the invasion reaches us. I can't afford to lose more of my people.”

”Of course. That's all I have to ask Elf Leader. We have some business to do first before starting the building of the village. Thank you again and I hope you all are safe here.” He said his goodbye.

”Have a nice trip with your wife.” Jeez... this is embarrassing.

We went outside of the tent, ready to move out.

”Please hold my arms very tightly.” Now, I have to hold his arms?!

”FIRE BOOSTER!”

*SWOOOOSH!* We flew as Akko did!

Now I know why he didn't use this spell earlier. It's because the location of the elf village is covered by the tall trees making its location hidden from above. And they change their camp from time to time to avoid what happened before.

”So where should we go next?”

”We need to recruit a spellcaster who can help us build our village. It's easier to build a village with one. I heard there's someone at Storm Seekers. They said that this someone is being bullied because most of the people there use either Lightning or Water spells so those who have different spells do not belong to the place which is I think really bad. Actually, recruiting you is not in any of our plans.” That's right, I heard that they said that they pick specifically. And the reason I'm with them right now is that I wanted to be a disciple of Miss Akko which I really regret but until now I haven't learned anything from her.

”But of course, you are very welcome. It's hard to recruit these days because they want to be with the guild that is already well known and has a big city, unlike us who are just starting to build one.” That's reasonable. Maybe he's not a bad guy after all.

Though... We are traveling for almost an hour now with high speed... Is it that really far?

”It's my first time going to that place. Here's a hood for you. I heard that Guards there inspect people too much but we will not enter through the gate, we will enter the city from above bypassing the guards but of course, we should still not attract too much attention.” Then you shouldn't have brought me here for this kind of dangerous mission!

”Can you see that thick clouds? I heard that they did something bad in one of the Temple of Gods and because of it, God cursed the city. Well, that's still a legend but they won't be having this kind of weather if they didn't do something wrong, right?” He's right. The clouds are really thicker than usual. It's like it will never leave this place.

”Is it like this every day here?”

”Yeah, that's what I heard. It's been raining and thunderstorm also occurs from time to time, a really dangerous place and a wet one. Anyway, we're almost there. Get ready to land.”
