Half-elf Notebook

A small handful of flames appeared on Ina's fingertips one by one, and then disappeared one by one as her fingertips were slightly bent.

It's like a little elf tumbling and leaping on it.

From order to disorder, Ina was like an excellent magician who never let the tiny flame go out in the cold wind.

Although it was Ina's unintentional act to kill time, it was just a trick that any high-level magician could easily perform.

But no matter what, it still attracts the attention of many passers-by.

If she would place a pointed hat in front of her.

Passersby who stop by will probably not be stingy about paying a few coins for this beautiful half-elf girl.

A magician performing magic tricks on the street is a rare sight even in a medium-sized city.

The waiting time was not long. At most, it was just a matter of negotiating a few contract terms and signing both parties' names.

As Ina retracted her other fingers, the flame reappeared on her index finger, surging violently, and its size quickly expanded to more than ten times its original size, turning into a dazzling stream of flames.

She turned to look at Rick, who was much taller than her:

"All right?"

"It's only been a few minutes. Don't make it sound like you've been waiting for a long time, okay? If I'm any later, would you have started setting up your stall?"

The corners of Rick's mouth trembled, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Oh, is it?"

Ina's green eyes moved to the side intentionally or unintentionally.

Without blushing, he changed the subject:

"We're going to go buy food later?"

Space magic has a unique property that it cannot store living things.

But at the same time, the things placed inside will not rot.

Most of them don't even change much over time.

——Magic scrolls made by magicians. Other magic props are not included in this list, but this does not affect its convenience and uniqueness at all.

Among them, magicians have not yet figured out the reason for the strange space that has been opened up... Even many scholars of the origin of history only know a little about it.

It was a chaotic space lacking the logic and laws of the world's operation - at least this was the evaluation and interpretation Ina could learn from magic books.

"No, I still have some left in my ring... It's just rations for four people for a few days, so there's no need for special replenishment."

"Wasn't that a long time ago?"

Ina asked casually.

It has been at least two months since Rick's last long journey. Who would have the time to organize the things in the space magic props?

Ina felt that Rick probably didn't replace the cooked food inside.

Rick thought about it.

"The end of the hunting season... the trip during the festival doesn't cost much."

"Isn't that from two or three months ago? This is almost seafaring food, right?"

Ina muttered.

She also didn't know what real food was for sailing. She had never seen the sea, not even a big lake...

Descriptions such as blue, vast, and like a plain with no end in sight only exist in books.

They chatted casually until a moment later, when Mitaokel ​​and Xilia arrived.

Although the two of them had to go back to the herbal medicine store at No. 4, Seventh Street, the actual distance did not take much time. The main thing was to convince Xilia's mother.

- Ms. Green, a pile of gold coins that suddenly appeared, probably only gamblers could easily accept its rationality... especially when they have no interest and repayment period.

It must have taken Ms. Green some time to accept Miss Celia's explanation.

Ina was thoughtful.

Normally, the two of them should arrive at the meeting point earlier than Rick and her who were preparing their departure supplies.

After 30 minutes, the horses and cart were assembled.

…………

The Starfall Mountains, located on the edge of the Earldom of Kersroy, are indeed only fifty miles away from Thunderstone City, but that is only the judgment made by Rick after training as a soldier in the field and combining it with the map.

That's approximately the distance in a straight line.

It does not take into account the small forests that lie in the middle of the forest and the inability of tractor trailers to pass through the forest.

This means that a 50-mile journey often requires more detours.

A towed cart can generally only move forward on well-developed roads or sidewalks.

The actual range is likely to be more than 70 miles, or even 100 miles.

As for the maps, you can only hope that he will not make mistakes in the shapes of provinces and counties and mark what should be marked.

A group of geographers were required to travel through dangerous jungles, monster territories, and fields infested with bandits to measure and create a scaled-down map of the kingdom's territory.

That's a bit too much to ask.

Along with the bumps, there was a rumbling sound coming from the cart.

Seven hours later, the four of them finally saw the boundary between heaven and earth on the boundless plain before sunset. It was a series of mountains that looked like short, sharp teeth of the earth.

But this means that there is still a long distance between the two.

The journey took longer than they had imagined.

Because it is a main road connecting cities.

There were herdsmen driving their livestock and wandering merchants heading to the city to trade their goods on donkeys and horses. From time to time, caravans would appear on the road and get stuck in the mud... making it impossible for the group to speed up.

"Are we going to camp out nearby tonight?"

They passed by a passing businessman and asked Ina, who was looking at the setting sun.

The long journey completely wiped out the excitement she and Mitaokal had when they left the city.

She was fine with her extraordinary physique, but she was just bored.

Mitaokol, who was sitting next to Rick, had already been shaken to the point of being somewhat unconscious, and almost lost his seat several times.

Xilia, who was sitting in the back row, was in much better condition, she just looked tired to the naked eye.

She folded her knees and laid them on her side, taking up only a small space in the cart, looking exceptionally quiet and graceful.

Obviously, as a herbalist who often collects herbs with others, he is more adapted to the travel vehicle than the two of them.

"This is the second time you've asked me this. The last time was an hour ago... During that time, you also asked me how far we had walked, how far we had to go, what we were going to have for dinner, etc..."

"Nothing else, but don't ask about dinner. I don't have time to check what's in the ring."

Rick raised the reins in his hand.

"We probably don't need to camp in the wild tonight. We are driving on a branch road in the province. I remember there is a village before we reach the Starfall Mountains."
