Chapter 224
Chapter 224
It was a bright night illuminated by the full moon.
Maxwell and I, and also the Ogre, were flying through that moonlight sky. A silver-haired girl accompanied by an old magician would be quite a charming sight to those who beheld it, but Dens figure was too out of place.
Uh, this Kind of feels like a fairy-tail, doesnt it?
Flight magic has been around since the olden days. What are you surprised about now?
I know that much, but still Bah, nevermind. Den, please guide us.
Den who wasnt used to flying proceded by taking a step forward as if walking. Gradually he raised his speed, perhaps slowly getting used to it.
Maxwell and I were used to flying already, so we didnt have to make such weird movements to fly. The Flight magic had quite an impressive movement speed, so we didnt have to rush that much. The night was still young, so we had time to spare.
Rather, we had to pay attention for Den not to crash to the ground or someone from below discovering it.
We flew north for ten-odd minutes. But then, I suddenly realized something I shouldnt have. But now that I did, I had no choice but to confirm it with Maxwell.
Hey, Maxwell
What is it? Dont lose sight of Den now.
Im paying attention to that, dont worry. Rather than that, couldnt you have used this magic back in Maleva?
Back then, I became completely drained of strength by the time we left the town, and after that, I had to suck it up and deal with the shame of being carried by him. If he just used this magic at that time, I couldve avoided showing such a disgraceful appearance.
Maleva had grasslands around and everything was in plain sight. What would you do if somebody had seen us?
You have a point But still, isnt it the same now?
Raum has a dense forest all around. You can see what is right above the city, but on a slanted angle the view is obstructed.
So thats how it is?
I was not fully convinced by his explanation but decided to just keep following Den. And after about one hour had passed, Den suddenly stopped in place.
We here.
He made a brief comment and pointed at one corner of the forest. It was a strange place, with a giant boulder protruding from the forest.
Oh?
That boulder. Bottom open. Me live there.
Open? Oh, so the lower part of it is hollow.
Due to his words lacking variation, it sometimes took a little time for us to understand what he was trying to say. But even that started to sound normal the more I got used to his speech, which was quite strange in its own way.
I see, I see. So that is how it is
Maxwell was acting strangely convinced after hearing Dens words. It was certainly a conspicuous boulder, but I still didnt get what was so special about it.
Lets go, Reid. I became a little interested now.
After saying that to me, Maxwell descended straight towards that boulder. Den also followed behind him in a timid manner. Seeing that I raised a flustered voice.

Hey, dont go ahead of a scout! What do you plan to do if they were ambushing us, good grief
Following behind them, I also landed on the rocky area. In the northern side of that area, in a place where moss grew due to the lack of sunlight, there was the entrance to Dens home.
From afar, it didnt look like it led to the inside due to how camouflaged it was with brown and green colors.
If there were no faint traces of being trodden, even I might have overlooked it.
This is quite well done. Its a natural camouflage.
I asked Maxwell while pulling out my dagger. Maxwell quickly chanted the spell and produced a small light. Crimson one meant it was the smallest illumination, and Gold Five meant it would last for five hours. Jade was for the distance, and it was now set to the distance until my dagger.
The magic light got absorbed by my dagger and it lit up like a torch. Even if it was of the lowest level, it was still light magic, so it was more than enough to illuminate our immediate surroundings.
Dens cavern was quite long, reaching all the way to the center of that huge boulder. At that point, it turned into a wider space, and it was filled with the skin and bones of various animals. There were also fruit cores and such. Probably Dens leftover foods.
The rotten skin and bones were giving off an unpleasant smell, filling the entire space.
Ugh Den, you have bad ventilation here, so at least throw away your trash. Youll grow sick.
Its okay. Me have healthy body.
Well, thats enviable.
If I lived here, I was confident Id get sick within three days.
In the center of that garbage-filled place, there was a giant magic circle still remaining on the ground.
