NovelEnglish“Siti… you can make a portal directly to the capital city of Ost Republic, correct?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, I have been there once as Grand Master went on a diplomatic mission there once.” She declared.
In the past, I had never worried about the limits of portals. How far a portal could reach was a mixture between the level of the portal spell and the amount of mana poured into it. Since the portal I used had traditionally been part of the dungeon point system, it acted like a level 100 portal every time.
Thus, I had never had any limitation teleporting anywhere I had ever been. It took ending up in another continent before the distance reached too far. Even then, simply adding a lot more mana resolved that issue. Siti here was a much higher-level blue mage than I was, but she didn’t have a level 100 portal, nor did she have the mana reserves I did. It seemed like the Ost Republic was still in her reach though and she was confident she could make the portal.
Since I had never been to the Ost Republic beyond the border, I wouldn’t be able to travel there on my own. Thus, I had depended on her. I had never been that close to Siti, and now I wasn’t sure how much I could trust her. I had Miki check her out before she left, and Miki didn’t find anything in her that suggested she was still under Calypso’s control. Of course, there was also the possibility she was never under Calypso’s control in the first place.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI knew very little about the Blue Mage, and I didn’t know how much I could trust her. She had worked for the Grand Master, a man who had allegedly been one of the elites of Aberis. However, he had perished and now she was on her own. I decided to allow her to remain with us unofficially, and she spends most of her days in the traveling guild. There, she was extremely renowned, as her magical experience was many times greater than the current blue mage working there. Whether she was content working as a blue mage was hard to know.
That was why she was coming along as well. She was technically just the transport, but she might be able to help us get away if something happened. Although Prince Aberis seemed content with the way things were going, I wasn’t so confident. I still feared that this wedding might be some kind of trap that was prepared by the Ost Republic. Did they favor peace?
Yet, it was my responsibility now to escort Eliana. Prince Aberis had put a lot of trust in me to keep his sister safe, so I needed to live up to it. She had already portaled over to Chalm. Perhaps it would have been better for all of us to portal to the capital and then have Siti portal the rest of the way, but things didn’t turn out that way and she said she could handle it.
We ended up using the traveling guild, which was a well-established site for portaling. I rarely used such a thing, but when going to other nations and such, I guess you could be seen as an invading force unless you traveled the proper way. Well, there weren’t too many rogue blue mage’s like me anyway.
It wasn’t too long before she opened a portal. This wasn’t direct teleportation like most blue mages did, but a hole in space surrounded with blue light like I was typically used to. The group of us walked through, and like that, we were in the territory of the Ost Republic.
