I raise elves in Florian

"However, it's a bit unexpected; there will be a storm on the lake too."

Looking at the storm raging on the lake, it was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.

"Lake Corido is the largest lake in the northern countries, and its area is even larger than some inland seas. It is also common for large ships to sink here due to storms."

Frilian, holding Shi Yichen's hand, spoke to Philon and Shutark, explaining that Shi Yichen had used magic to shield them from the rain, and with such heavy rain and strong winds, even an umbrella was useless.

"I'm afraid even if we use flying magic, we won't be able to reach the other side in this strong wind."

Philon nodded in agreement with Frilian's words. There was nothing they could do; they had to take a boat to reach the other side, but with the stormy weather, no boats were leaving port, so they could only wait here.

"Hmph, that's for you guys."

The flight magic developed by Chen is different; it can still fly even in strong winds like this. As for whether you can fly to the other side, that depends on whether your magic power is sufficient.

With her hands on her hips and a smug look on her face, Frilian said to Philon, "Shi Yichen's flying magic is more than enough to deal with this kind of weather. As long as you have enough magic power, you can fly wherever you want."

"So, Lord Shi Yichen and Lady Frilian can easily fly to the other side, right?"

Philon looked at Shi Yichen and Frilian and said that although it was far from the other side, the distance was too great for Shi Yichen and Frilian to fly across with their magical power.

"It's not exactly easy, it's still a bit difficult. But if that's the case, Philon and Shutark won't be able to cross over; they'll have to take a boat to get to the other side."

Frilian looked at Philon and Shutark and said that although they could each take one person and fly over, it would be too boring, and it was still during a storm. It would be better to rest here for a while and wait for the storm to pass.

Of course, it was Frilian herself who wanted to stay here for a while. After all, there were many magic shops in this town, and she naturally wanted to browse around and see if there were any interesting magic books here.

But how could she possibly say such a thing? If she did, she would inevitably get a scolding from Philon.

"It seems like the storm isn't going to stop at all."

Philon looked at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds. It seemed that the storm would not stop anytime soon, and it would be a while before he had to stay here.

"That's just how the weather is on the northern plateau. It's completely unreasonable, and we can only wait for the storm to stop on its own."

Shi Yichen smiled and said to Philon, "Although more than a thousand years have passed, I still don't like traveling in the rain. Even though there is magic to keep the rain off me, I just don't like it."

Moreover, while waiting for the storm to stop, she could do some fun things with Frilian, since it had been a while since they had done so. This time, she had to arrange for Philon to have a room by herself so that Philon wouldn't disturb them while they were doing their thing.

"Even if the weather is clear, it's the same. The other side is much farther than you think."

How could Frilian not understand Philon's meaning? But if she wanted to stay here for a while, she definitely needed to find an excuse!

"If that's really the case, then we can only wait for the storm to pass."

As Philon spoke, he followed Shi Yichen and the others into the hotel.

Shi Yichen booked three single rooms with the shop assistant. The three rooms were next to each other, so that Philen would have a room by herself and wouldn't disturb her and Frilian's good time at night.

"That's all we can do."

The four of them gathered in the hotel room.

"Can't we go around along the coast?"

Seeing that she couldn't cross the sea, Philon wanted to see if she could get to the other side along the shore. After all, she had heard that this storm would last for several months, and she didn't want to stay here for that long.

"That's probably difficult. If we take a detour, it will take several months to reach the other side. It's better to wait here for the storm to end so we can rest for a while."

When Frilian heard this, she shook her head vigorously. It would only take a few weeks to reach the other side by sea, and she didn't want to spend several months traveling to the other side. Wouldn't it be better to stay here for a while and then set off?

Why go through all that trouble to detour to the front lines? There's no way Frilian would do something so thankless and exhausting.

"I see."

When Philon heard that the detour would take several months, he suddenly felt that staying here for a few months might not be a bad option, since Philon was also able to distinguish between what was important and what was not.

"Ultimately, the terrible weather here stems from the mountains on the east and west sides. In such treacherous weather, crossing mountains without even a trail is tantamount to suicide."

Shi Yichen also told Philon that she understood Philon did not want to waste time here, but the weather outside forced them to stop. Going on a boat in a stormy weather would be too boring.

Although she and Frilian were capable of protecting themselves, Philon and Shutark were not. This was a risk they couldn't take; a slight misstep could send them to their deaths at the bottom of the lake.

"I never imagined that even the weather on the northern plateau could be so dangerous."

Shutark couldn't help but hug himself. He thought the demons and monsters in the northern plateau were already dangerous enough, but he didn't expect the weather in the northern plateau to be so treacherous as well.

"So let's wait here until this storm is over before we set off again."

Shi Yichen said to Philon and Shutark that it wouldn't hurt to rest here a little longer, as she could spend more time with Frilian.

"In the end, even if it takes several months, taking a boat across the lake here is far safer and saves more time than taking a long detour."

Frilian agreed with what Shi Yichen said. She also wanted to rest here for a while, then go to the magic shop to buy some things, then stroll around the city, and eat at the delicious restaurants in the city, etc.

"It might be a bit hard to wait that long."

Philon sighed. Since Shi Yichen and Frilian had both said so, she had no choice but to give up.

"There's no need to worry about that. This port town we're in is a trading center, and there are plenty of ways to kill time."

Frilian said to Philon and Shutark with a smug look that she had seen many different kinds of shops in the town on the way here, and they could take a good look around while they waited for the storm to end.
