I was sad that the effect of the drink lasts so little, but I look back at Margareth who had a glass of wine in her hand.
"Sorry, I forgot to offer you a drink." (I)
"Alright, I understand this is not a good time for you." (Margareth)
As it was just the two of us in the room, not to mention Nix who was in my shadow to make sure that Margareth would tell the truth, so this wine was taken by herself.
"(How does anyone expect me to help a demigoddess?)" (I)
"(Even though she's my sister, it's not like I've met her before or have any kind of feelings for her.)" (I)
Sigh
"(But this is also the first time I have blood brothers, at the orphanage everyone was my considerate brothers and I did everything to help them, so how can I not help my own sister?)" (I)
"I will help her, but only if there is no risk to me." (I)
"There will be no risk, probably..." (Margareth)
"..." (I)
----------
That day I talked to the others about Margareth's identity and her request, I also explained in more detail what I suppose happened in the Haffes Kingdom after hearing some things from Margareth.
Most likely Shiro was against Luminus' plans to re-establish relations with the other races, which is why he did all this.
If it was Luminus' idea then it wouldn't make sense to leave all of us alive when we were in the Ocean, this also explains about the information Shiro passed on.
I shared this information with Vanessa who has lived on this continent, and also with High Priestess Yara and Margareth, who I discovered already knew each other.
Everyone says the information seems to be correct, probably this information was passed on to Shiro to deliver to me by Luminus himself.
The Crest I have, which is now broken, was made with the scale of Shiro, he probably planned to track me down with it and do something to make me disappear later, but he rushed his plans because of Margareth, which led to that attack in the back Haffes Kingdom.
It just makes me want to work alongside Luminus even more, just to annoy that bastard Shiro, also for protection, I can't always protect myself from someone that strong, so looking for Luminus and telling him the truth would be ideal, he could keep an eye on Shiro and maybe even kill him for treason or something.
----------
That night I was with Vanessa, Yara, and Margareth in the dining room with the map of the Central Continent open on the table, this map was something I asked Nicolas to make, a magical item that produces a 3D holographic image on the table with various functions, such as maximizing or minimizing the image of certain points on the map, the information we have gathered so far from certain points on the map, etc.
This map helps a lot to decide a lot of things while reminding us of the various information of each place, I wish I had been the first to think about it, but this idea came from something Vanessa said she had already seen in her time at the Church of Light.
"We have to decide where to go, I wanted to get information about the location of some World Tree." (I)
"This kind of information is not for sale, nor would the Black Market or the Assassins' Guild sell this information." (Margareth)
"I also find it difficult to have records of this, considering the importance that the World Trees have on each continent." (I)
"But I'm sure some of you do." (I)
I look at High Priestess Yara and Margareth, I'm sure one of them knows about this, they both look at each other before speaking.
"I know where it is, Margareth knows too." (Yara)
"Why didn't you say so before?" (I)
"No one asked me, how was I supposed to know you wanted to know that?" (Yara)
Sigh
"Let's just hear about it, please." (Vanessa)
"Do you want to know about all 3 World Trees of the Central Continent?" (Yara)
"At another time, now I need to know the nearest one and if they would accept visitors." (I)
"The closest would be the village of Nightmare Valley, that village is formed only by Gray Elves." (Margareth)
"But they are at war." (Yara)
"So forget about them, what's the second option?" (I)
"It would be the village of the Infernal Desert, formed only by Dark Elves." (Margareth)
"That desert has a lot of strong monsters, it would be difficult to get to the village." (Yara)
"I know the Elves like to keep people in a town close to their village to communicate with outsiders." (I)
"I know where to go, Kingdom Arima." (Margareth)
"This Kingdom has its cities located in the Oasis of the desert, this is a Kingdom focused around Adventurers as all cities are surrounded by Dungeons and the desert itself has many monsters." (Margareth)
"How did we get there?" (I)
"The passage you got leads to a Realm that has a teleportation gate, we can use that to have a safe journey." (Yara)
"I don't have any money." (Margareth)
"That won't be a problem, we can go inside the Dungeon and Zenos just needs to summon Nix when he gets there." (Yara)
"This might work." (Margareth)
"What are you talking about?" (I)
"Passing through a normal teleportation portal is difficult if you have space items like a low quality storage item, bags with increased space, and other things that interfere with space." (Margareth)
"Those with an affinity for the space element have no problem using a teleportation gate, but Fairies and Spirits of the Space element may find the experience uncomfortable." (Yara)
"But the worst part would be Nix, a Dungeon going through a teleportation gate could be dangerous for her, probably." (Yara)
"I see, so you want me to go to the other side myself and summon her from the other side." (I)
"Bone might work, but what about the Spirit and Fairy gates in your shadow?" (Vanessa)
"Me and Layla can keep the gates closed." (Nix)
"Would that be enough?" (I)
"Should be enough." (Margareth)
"Probably." (Yara)
"..." (I)
I didn't like their uncertainty about my safety, but at least now I have a plan, my priority now is to get to a World Tree, this must be the best place for me to evolve without drawing attention.
