Arrival to the Kingdom of Ceres

After 4 days in the city, we continued our way. We have come to the end of our journey, which lasted about 3 weeks.

'I've finally arrived at East Ceres!'

The road was very capricious, but it was worth it.

'It's the first time I've been here. It's a really beautiful country.'

My horse has also strangely become stronger over this time, it can kill a kobolt on its own. I guess that is good.

The elf's eyes are more lively now and 1-2 words come out of his mouth every now and Decently. She recovered quickly with the food and nutritional supplements I gave him.

The elfs' life force is really good. I also did not stand idly by during this time and engraved the combined techniques in my mind. I could probably kill a D-class very comfortably.

And that's very good news for someone like me who doesn't use magic. Normal people strengthen their bodies with mana, and each of their cells contains a certain amount of mana in them.

Thanks to this, they are able to do physical activities that are impossible for a normal person to do. The logic is simple but very difficult to implement, people have 30% of the mana in their cells, 15% in their hearts, 10% in their brains and the rest in their mana nuclei. At least that's my theory, I like it.

Anyway, let's put such thoughts aside for now and look ahead.

It's like the city came out of the Amazon. There are trees and greenery everywhere. People seem to live in harmony here, too.

And this is a very large commercial city. The Kingdom of Ceres is like two sides of a coin. One side is very bright, but the other side is covered in darkness. East Ceres is very rich, but West Ceres is very poor.

Although Western Ceres is in complete chaos. There are very large thunderbolts, and I think some of them are covered with magic. Life there is almost impossible. It's where the great wizard died, but I think it's in some kind of formation.

Although this is information that is passed from ear to ear. I don't know how close it is to reality.

"Have you been here before?"

"No..."

It's still very difficult to talk. Her vocal cords are slowly healing and her teeth have also started to grow out again. She will probably recover almost completely in 2 months.

We are walking through the forest with a horse-drawn carriage, but the road seems endless.

'We're finally getting out of the woods.'

We are finally getting out of this sweltering and humid environment.

'We entered the stony terrain.'

There are dead plants and upturned insects on the ground.

"I... fee... l un... eas... y.(I feel uneasy)"

"Me, too..."

It feels like I'm entering a very dangerous place, but if we try to get out, we might get lost in the forest.

'Although we're already lost.'

"Wow."

There is a green clear water in front of me. I took the horse's saddle off and gave him time to rest.

"Mas... ter, we... ha... ve... to... go.(Master, we have to go.)"

"You really think so?"

She shook his head slightly, and I know that I should trust the instincts of an elf. Besides, I'm restless inside, too.

When the horse went to the lake to drink water, a light breeze blew from the east to us, the horse brought his head closer to the ground and immediately collapsed, fell into the lake, and at that moment I understood.

'It died.'

My brain froze, but my body moved on its own. I embraced the elf and quickly walked away from there, holding my breath.

'How do I know that sulfuric acid will also be on this planet!'

The funny thing is that there are living creatures in that water. I saw the shadows in the water. This is a really fantastic world.

'Luckily there was nothing in the car.'

I'm glad I carried the money bag with me, otherwise this tour would have been a difficult one.

I need to keep the location of this place in mind. It might be useful to me in the future. Sulfuric acid is very useful to me...

'Wait!!'

Do I know that this thing is sulfuric acid? I'm not sure, but the chances of it happening are very low. It's more likely to be something else.

'Yes, after all, I can't do analysis'

No, even if it's something else, I could still use it. If I find a dwarf and say the things that are in my head, there is a high probability that he will do something crazy.

But if he has such a crazy idea, the craziest dwarf can do it.

It took me about half an hour to get to a wooded area again.

I looked at the Elf between my arms and noticed that she was vomiting again.

"I'm sorry, I think I shook too much."

"Not... a... p... rob... lem... (No problem.)"

"Hey, it's like you're starting to make sentences easier."

"The... mana le... vel... he... re... is... high... (The mana level here is high.)"

"So the mana level accelerates your healing, so it's a useful feature."

Now I have to get to the city and I have to buy glass bottles and one dimensional stone.

"Can you use spatial distortion?"

"Pos... sib... le... (Possible.)"

Spatial distortion is actually a subtype of storage magic. Storage While storing items in another dimension, spatial distortion allows you to store more items in one place by bending the existing space.

For example, it is possible to store 6-7 times more items in a bag than usual. Even if the storage spell is dim next to this spell, it is close to impossible to perform the storage spell.

Even the storage area of the still living supreme magician is no more than 10 m³.

"I still haven't asked your name, what's your name?"

"Aulë."

I think she can say his name without any problems.

"I, too, Aquirus."

****

It took us about 15 days to get to the city. A 7-week trip really tires a person.

The city is really made for people who live in the forest. Houses built into trees hundreds of meters high, houses carved into trees and many more.

"We need to change our clothes"

"Yo... u're ri... ght... (You're right.)"

We chose beautiful clothes and hired an inn and immediately went to the bathhouse. Since Aulë can now wash on her own, there is not much trouble. But she still has a little trouble walking. Her bones have not fully healed.

After washing, I came out of the bath and started waiting for Aulë. She barely managed to get out hours later.

"It seems to have taken a while."

"I'm... so... rry... (I'm sorry.)"

"There's no need to apologize, I just thought something happened to you inside."

Now I see, Aulë is beautiful. His teeth have fully healed and most of the wounds on his body seem to have healed as well.

But since she is an elf, there is nothing she can do about breasts, after all, long life naturally leads to a decrease in sexual potency.

But despite that, she was a beautiful girl. It's probably hundreds of years old, but let's not think about such things.

'I wonder if a 17-year-old like me is a child for him?'

Probably yes.

"How is your mana core?"

"It's... hea... li... ng... (It's healing)"

"Good."

Aulë must have spent all the mana in her mana core to heal in order to survive, since she was very injured in her old state, and as a result, I think the amount of mana in both her mana core and her flesh has increased.

This means that it can store 2-3 times more mana than before.

"Let's go to the guild."

She followed quietly from behind, but her pace is a little slow. We received a mandate from the guild and left the city.

[Mission Type: Hunting]

[Kill the Amphisboena that attacks villages and damages crops, bring every 2 heads as proof.]

[Prize: 30 silver]

It will be difficult to hunt the amphisboena, but it will also be a very nice experience for me.

"Let's go."

She shook his head and we left the city. After a few hours, we came to a lake.

"Amphisboena used to live here, do you know a way to get it out?"

She shook her head, took my sword from its scabbard and dipped it into her hand. She dripped his blood into the lake and returned the sword.

"Are you sure it will work?"

"Ye... s... (Yes.)"

After waiting a few minutes, she showed herself. It looks like a snake, but it is close to 3 meters tall and has 2 heads. Oh, and something as big as a bear.

It was thrown at me quickly but I managed to avoid it. It hit me on the hip with his tail like a whip.

"Arghhh!!!!!"

My internal organs are literally shaking. That's what you expect from a C-level monster.

I got up from the floor and quickly threw myself towards its. It spat in my face just as I was about to hit itsin the head.

"My eye!!!"

It took the opportunity and hit me with his tail again. I flew and fell into the water.

'It's not going to be easy but I've made a good plan.'

I quickly got out of the water, threw my sword towards Amphisboena at full speed and approached its diagonally. The sword was stuck in its back. After giving a big scream, it looked in the direction from which the sword came, and it couldn't see anyone.

I'm also advantageous because I'm approaching from its blind spot. I quickly prepared my foot and activated the heavy body ability. I threw the first kick, and the second kick, taking advantage of his momentum, I threw even more violently.

Since his body was covered with some kind of mucus, even if I did less damage than usual, it was still enough for me to knock him down.

"NOW!!"

The fireball with a diameter of several meters flew towards Amphisboena and burned it. since the mucus layer can burn, it was extremely easy to defeat it.

"ROARRR... "

It burned and burned. As if the mucus layer and the fats in his body had run out, he was completely burned. All that's left is a cooked corpse.

Its body was burned until it became unrecognizable. I got close to its and it was really hot. I took out the sword and cut off their heads. And then I took out the core.

As I received this palm-sized core, I gave it to Aulë.

She absorbed the mana in the core and began to store it. The procedure takes a little long, but it is necessary for her to recover.

Hours later, her work is finished and she looks more alive now.

"It's over."

"Good, now help me carry these heads."

"Very... tro... ub... les... om... e... (Very troublesome.)"

"Yes."

I took one of the heads, and it's heavier than I thought.

"Tell me if you're having a hard time."

"No, it's... ve...ry... easy. (No, it's too easy.)"

Even saying that, her arms are shaking. It's sweet that she's trying, but she's still not fully recovered.

"If it's hard, tell me, I'll take it."

She nodded and we started to leave, after a short time she opened his mouth.

"Will... you... ha... ve... it?.. (Will you take it?)"

"Of course."

She put the head on top of the other head, and these heads are really heavy.

'I wish the horse hadn't died there.'

It's a pity he died in that Evil area, probably only his mane is left of him.

After hours of traveling, we arrived back in the city, and after receiving the reward for the task, I took one of the skill stones.

I bought myself [Acid Resistance] and [Bronze Leather].

[Acid Resistance] As the name already says, it makes you more resistant to acids. Since I received this ability, my body has begun to produce a different liquid, and it tastes bitter. Probably a basic substance.

The other one is [Bronze Leather]. This makes my skin as hard as bronze, and seriously, my skin is starting to get a little harder.

Aulë, on the other hand, received the [Mana skin] with the [Flame Arrow

[Flame Arrow] allows you to shoot arrows made of Flame using mana.

[Mana skin] wraps your skin with mana, making you stronger, more durable and attractive. In some cases, it even emits light.

'I seem to have forgotten something very important... It's probably not that important.'
