Chapter 269: Ancient Techniques

I and Albert climbed out of the window and went to the top of the carriage. The breeze hit us well as the trees on both sides breezed behind us, all of them swaying in the wind. My hair fluttered and so did Albert's as he finally found some semblance of calming down after being away from Miss Rio.

"So, this bad feeling of yours, what is it?"

"That…" Albert looked away.

"Hm, if you don't want to tell me then its fine."

"No, it's not like that… I am just sure you will laugh. Anyway, longer path, I doubt anything will happen here." Albert nodded. "If it does, I have Eugene Hall! I'll just throw you to the wolves."

I waved his words away and leaned back.

Man… were carriages slow.

Albert didn't get a chance to tell me what his bad feeling was.

Just as we neared the borders of the kingdom of sages, the sound of a horn tooting in the distant forests filled my ears.
