Chapter 108 108 Journey
"Hey Gabriel what was the last thing Authur said," Ray asked.
"He explained why we are going to the capital," Gabriel said.
"Really what did he say?"
"The senior knights were called to the capital to discuss about the defense of the knight academy, they are planning to move the mage to the knight academy," Gabriel said.
"Move the mages here..."
"Yes, that\'s what they are planning to do, the knight academy is very safe and there is lots of space that the mage can use, so that\'s what they are planning" Gabriel said.
"Okay"
"I have a question, so should we bring our luggages or just some stuff?" Gabriel asked.
"We may stay long or we may not, so I don\'t know" Leia said.
"Ray what are you carrying?"
"Only two clothes along with one of my knight uniform" Ray said.
The three of them were ready and waiting for the senior knights, the other students had already began training while they waited at the school gate with their luggage in their hands. They were each given a little bag to put their clothes in.
"Are you ready?" James asked.
"Yes Sir" they answered.
The knight walked forward while the three students followed them, they walked till they reached the city gate.
Two carriages were already waiting for them at the gate, the carriage were much smaller than the ones they used while coming. The carriage this time could only contain at least 5 people.
The senior knights used one of the carriage while the students used the second one, they were two riders who controlled the carriage.
The gate was opened and their journey to the capital began. The journey would take the whole day and they would arrive at night, but if they stopped and rest then they would arrive the next day.
But that isn\'t the case because the carriage was moving at high speed, two horses were attached to the front of the carriage and they were responsible for pulling the carriage.
The three of them sat in silence for an hour before Gabriel finally said something.
"Do you think we would be attacked by an infected beast?"
"I don\'t know, even if we are attacked by infected beasts the knight are here so nothing will happen to us" Ray said.
"What if a group of infected beasts attacks?" Leia asked.
"We are strong enough to protect ourselves so there is nothing to worry about" Ray told her.
"If that\'s what you think then you are mistaken, let me ask you something, which type of infected beast had you seen?" Gabriel asked Ray.
"Wolves and Boars" Ray replied.
"See, those are low level beast, have you seen a high level infected beast, we would stand no chance against it, but it unlikely for a high level beast to attack us" Gabriel said.
"Very unlikely, I haven\'t seen any high level beast, but I\'ve heard some stories from high rank Adventurers" Leia added.
"Why is it unlikely?" Ray asked
"High level beast rarely leaves its dungeon, they stay in dungeons and protect the dungeon crystal" Gabriel said.
"So all dungeon contains a high level beast?"
"Yes, they are the protectors of the dungeon, so to clear a dungeon and kill all the beasts inside, a person has to kill the high level beast and destroy the dungeon crystal or drain all its Mana if the person is a Mage" Gabriel said.
"Dungeon crystal..."
"Haven\'t you heard of a dungeon crystal, they are the main problem, if all the dungeon crystal in the whole world gets destroyed beasts would cease to exist" Gabriel said.
"So the dungeon crystal are basically the main reason for the existence of beast, but what does it do?" Ray asked.
"Some beast reproduce while some don\'t, take a wolf for example, most wolves live in the forests while few of them in dungeon, wolves have male and female so they can produce young ones"
"But take another example slimes, they don\'t have male or female, or a body, so how do they reproduce, that\'s where a dungeon crystal comes in, a dungeon crystal accumulate Mana over time and produce another slime" Gabriel explained.
"So a crystal produce new beast"
"Yes, exactly according to research done by expert mages and so a high level beast protect the crystal, but sometimes very unlikely a high level beast can leave the dungeon" Gabriel said.
"So they are dungeon all over the world"
"Yes, but most of the dungeon are in the dragon forest, because Adventurers normally destroy dungeon as part of their quest"
"So two or three Adventurers can destroy a dungeon?"
"How is that possible" Leia said.
"Destroying a dungeon is something a guild does not two or three Adventurers, the guild go together and destroy the dungeon" Gabriel told Ray.
"The guild would receive massive reward and gain recognition for destroying the dungeon"
...
Last night in Avalon
"What is Vincent doing, hasn\'t he found a good inn"
"I don\'t know" Ian said.
As they were talking to each other a portal opened in front of them and Vincent stepped out of the portal.
"Okay, let\'s go in" Vincent said and walked into the portal.
The group walked in and the portal closes behind them.
"Why did you rent such a small room" Aurora complained.
"I didn\'t see a better one, it\'s already night time or have you forgotten" Vincent said.
"Make your self at home" Vincent said and sat on the ground.
"I need stop focus so you guys should keep quiet, first Vaan protect the room I\'m going to cast a high level magic, I don\'t want anyone to sense it" the golden haired man said.
"Okay, so you need to find the item" Aurora said.
"Yes, it\'s here in Avalon, I can feel it, I need to find it for our plan to work"
"Okay, I\'m going to sleep, tomorrow would be a great day, it\'s been long I fought someone" Ian said.
"Why didn\'t you come with us when we were going to the boar dungeon" Vaan said.
"I didn\'t know you guys would have fun, I would have killed all the knights at the camp" Ian said.
"Keep quiet, I need to focus" the golden haired man shouted and the both of them quickly stopped talking.
Morning was finally here and the group was ready for their mission.
"We are not going today, we will use today to get the feel of the capital" the golden haired man said as they were preparing.
"We are not attacking today, we don\'t need to know the capital, we already know where the mage academy is so we should just strike there" Ian said.
"Ian you only care about battle and fighting, master is right, we should get the feel of the capital first before attacking" Vaan said.
"You know that the royal knights are protecting the mage academy so we should plan" Vincent said.
"I knew you have gone soft Vincent, we can handle the Royal knights and mages in the Mage academy" Ian said.
"I already told you guys,we are not attacking today, I have a reason for that, we should go out and use today to take a break" the golden haired man said.
"Yes master" they all said.
"Hey Aurora aren\'t you going out" Vaan asked.
"No I don\'t think I would be comfortable walking around in the capital so I\'m not going out"
"I wanted us to use this chance to have a date, you know just the two of us" Vaan said.
"Ohh, so you finally want to go out, I give you my blessings" Ian said.
"Why would we need your blessings to go on a date" Vaan asked.
"I\'m going out, I will find a place and open a portal so you guys can come out" Vincent said and went out.
"Thanks but I\'m not going out, another time we would have the date" Aurora said.
"I\'m sorry, I know you tried" Ian said and touched Vaan\'s shoulder.
"She doesn\'t want to go out, she didn\'t reject me" Vaan said.
A portal opened in front of them and they stepped inside and found themselves in a secluded area.
"Where is this?" Vaan asked Vincent.
"The capital is too busy, I didn\'t find a better place, so where should we go first?" Vincent asked.
"We should find some Royal knights and kill them" Ian said.
