Chapter 154 Travel through the sky
"Did you double check everything?"
"Yup. Food, clothes, new blades, and items. All set."
"Check it again. Here's the list-."
"Do you think I would have forgotten that tiny list?"
"Of course not, Miss Savant. I'm just making sure I did not forget anything. So… please check this list and tell me if everything's fine."
As the first rays of dawn kissed the horizon, they prepared to leave Yuta behind.
"Elio, I checked that list three times already. Don't stress about it. We will be visiting the auction house in Kalp and see if there is something good anyway."
Alex was ready with her things, Misha was excited about flying so she was excitedly talking with The librarian.
He was ready already, waiting for them to finish their last checks.
"If you say so… then it's fine."
Elio was done with his complaints, Alex was done answering him, Misha was ready since last night like Miu and Az, and Miss Rin was also looking forward to this.
Sera wasn't really excited about this or anything since, well, flying through the skies wasn't anything new for her. But, she was still looking forward to how they will be using the Fast passage.
"Looks like everyone's ready."
The librarian was getting annoyed with Misha's constant questions so he wanted to just start moving.
But, her companions were wasting too much time on useless things.
"Yes."
"Let's go, Connie~."
"Oh wait."
Miss Rin was late since she went out to the knight's association once again earlier this morning, then Elio was wasting time checking out his inventory, and then Alex… Well, Alex wasn't really wasting their time but her mere presence was bothering him.
Still, he had endured it until now, and right when he finally thought they would finally be moving, Elio spoke up again, blocking their flow.
"Oh, no. Wait. It's nothing. I already sent the letter to the hall master. We can go."
He was a good boy, but he was sometimes unpredictable.
He did not hate it, but if he kept doing this, he did not know how his point of view of this talented mage/tamer/archer would change.
"Then we should depart now."
"Yessss~! Finally~!"
Misha was 15 and yet she wasn't like the usual 'adult' kinds her age. She was a child and she acted like children should, and that was a nice aspect to the people around her.
She did not mind what people thought of her actions since she was mostly an introverted reserved person, but after the two of them came into her life, she had become a new person.
Someone her mom couldn't help but be proud of.
"Please gather around then."
They were on the empty terrace of the archery hall, a place they had reserved for the take off.
Alex, Elio, Misha, Miss Rin, Miu, Az, Sera, and their two horses were going to travel with the Librarian from Yuta to Kalp through their highway air route.
And now that they were all ready to take off, the pilot did not wait long to unleash his spell.
-Ooooooooooooong!
A unique silver platform was created under their feet as a transparent barrier shaped like a teardrop enveloped them.
"If you feel motion sick, endure it. It will only take a little less than three hours."
The travel time of three days was going to be cut down to three hours. Which was a nice thing.
But the fact that they were going to fly was even more fun to the young girl.
"Then…"
The teardrop barrier and platform along with the passengers started floating up in the air as purple-blue strings were released from the librarian's fingertips.
"Let us depart. For real this time."
Arcanum was a unique power stronger than magic, and the Librarian was also a sorcerer born with the blessings of nature and Mana.
He was a scholar and a high level mage, so the kind of spells that he used were not as simple as the spells that Elio used or even as weak as the spells of the mage tower master that they killed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As some of the few high level mages of this world, he was a unique existence. And when it came to [Spell weaving] he was also one of the best in the magic society.
-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiish…
"Physical series, water attribute… that's a pretty spell, Connie."
"I'm honored you think that way."
"And I don't like how you've been acting since earlier. What the hell did you find out about this sword that you are acting like that you piece of shit?"
She did not see anything wrong with cursing an individual like him. In fact, this was natural to her, and she really did not like how he was acting.
"I simply visited the white sage, nothing else."
As they floated up in the sky, the knight halls, the houses, the entire town became smaller in their eyes.
They elevated to a point where the entire town looked no bigger than a cat beneath their feet, which was quite high.
And then, they started moving forward to the south, towards Kalp, the city of Cromwell viscounty.
"You visited white gramps? No wonder you have been acting like that since earlier… he must have told you quite a bit about the sword, correct?"
Moving through the sky… it wasn't the same as the flight of the free birds, but, this was not something simple either.
"Not really."
They were floating in the sky and through a physical series spell that was creating this airship-like spell barrier, they were able to move through the reserved path where no birds could enter.
"Wow… mommy, look."
"Miu…"
"Muuuu…"
The children were spellbound by the scenery that wasn't really anything new to the people around her.
The sky, the orange painted morning clouds that were just a few meters above them, and the endless world before them were a stunning sight to the younger ones, even the two creatures that did not have the same senses as the rest of them.
"He told me what I was allowed to know, as you might have guessed already. Besides, I'm not really acting any differently from earlier."
Traveling through the sky was a unique privilege.
"I'm just interested in that object a little more than anything else out there at the moment."
But, the highway path that they were using was not the best travel method for everyone.
