The kingdom of Ranoa, the largest country in the northern region of the central continent, with the same kind of power and influence as the kingdom of Shirone in the south, had an alliance with the duchy of Basherant and Neris thus forming the three magic nations and also having close ties with the magician's guild.
The headquarters of this entire alliance is gathered here, the magic city of Sharia, in this city is the headquarters of the magician's guild, the magic implements workshop, and the magic university.
All of this was pushed into this flourishing city.
If you were to look at the city from above, you would find the magician's guild in its center, in the east, the student district where the magic university is, and to the west the magic implement workshop and the heart of this was the shopping district and in the south the accommodation district.
Looking at the map of the city I realized that the infrastructure was based on that of Millishion.
I had arrived in this city in the morning and had left Patrick Bateman at a local corral.
Ranoa Magic University occupies a vast expanse of land, the campus was filled with huge brick buildings, including one in the center that almost looked like a castle.
At the university, they have regular guys and other guys like Fitts or Rudeus as well as adventurers who have made a name for themselves but aren't associated with the magician's guild, they have nobles and royalty from other countries as well but they mainly solicit those with incredible magic power, they tell them that they don't have to attend classes as long as the university includes them as special students.
As much as I wanted to go to that place I have to meet up with Elinalise and then travel to Beggarit...
Now that I think about it...how will I know where she is?!
Damn, Hitogami!.
I rented a B-rank inn just to spend the night, I hope that bastard appears in my dream or I'll turn around!!
And that's a promise!!
...
I arrived at my room at my inn, it was the same as my room in the sacred land of the sword so there wasn't much difference in comfort, after doing some stretching exercises, I improvised a bathtub with earth magic and with water magic I took a shower to sleep and that's how I fell asleep.
About ten minutes later I felt a kind of headache, I had already learned to understand this feeling, This is when Hitogami tries to get into my mind...
And sure enough, I opened my eyes and I was in the now familiar white void.
"You arrived earlier than I thought, the letter will still arrive tomorrow!" He said excitedly.
"Do you know what I came for, where I meet Elinalise?" I asked the faceless man in front of me.
"Hehehe, okay! Listen to me carefully! Tomorrow around noon, Elinalise DragonRoad will receive a letter from Gesse in that letter It was specified that Paul's group needs the help of Elinalise and another companion, But I assured Gesee to write in the letter that you are one of his friends!,and you will also go to help your friend Gesee!" Hitogami said excitedly.
"...Are you saying that I, a friend of Gesee, will go to Begaritt just because he asked me to? Instead of Rudeus? Elinalise may be a whore but she's not stupid." I said in a serious tone.
Hitogami's smile disappeared and he crossed his arms.
"Idiot, I'm trying to help you and you treat me this way!" He shouted
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't have helped you at all!" I replied.
"tch...she will receive the letter tomorrow and it will take another two days to leave, you can find her on the outskirts of the city in two days in the morning" he muttered in an angry tone.
""Two days?..." I muttered with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, introduce yourself by your name and say that you remember Gesse and why he helped you in Millis" Hitogami replied
"And how will I find the teleportation circles?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"easy, one day from Sharia to the south is a forest, in the middle of that forest you will see what will appear to be a cave but is actually a seal imposed by the dragon race to hide the structure!" he said.
Shit...Nanahoshi's map would be very helpful right now...but what can I do...
"It's okay, little bitch," I replied with a mocking smile.
I could have sworn I saw a vein pop on Hitogami's head as he crossed his arms and gritted his teeth.
And immediately I felt like a force pushed me back and I woke up in my room.
"So two days..." I muttered as I looked at the ceiling.
I got out of bed, I was unusually calm, apparently insulting Hitogami cheers me up hehe...
Go down to the first floor of the inn to order breakfast.
It wasn't the best thing in the world since there weren't many ingredients in this place.
So I settled for roast wild boar meat with potatoes, that's all.
In this country they drink a lot of tea and it doesn't taste very good so I only drank the water that I could form with magic.
I didn't have much to do since I would practically have to wait two days to go out again, so I decided to simply explore the city as soon as I could, since I didn't know when I would do it again.
...
Two days passed like this, during which I simply spent my time exploring the city, visiting all the possible places in the place, especially the magicians' guild and the outskirts of the magic university.
I wanted to join the wizard guild but it turned out that it is by membership and the price to pay is two Asuran gold coins which was more than half of my current budget.
So I decided to temporarily postpone joining there although I didn't completely rule it out.
Now was the day I would meet Elinalise, I got up at dawn as usual and decided to jog around the city, it was significantly larger than the sacred land of the sword, So I got tired halfway there.
After this I took one last shower and left my room at the inn.
I took Patrick Bateman out of his pen and headed for the edge of town.
I don't know how early Hitogami was referring to but i was already here and it's six in the morning.
I waited for a little over an hour until in the distance I saw a woman with super thick blonde hair that reached her knees, she was dressed provocatively, and he carried a large backpack on his back.
It was Elinalise DragonRoad, at first glance she may seem like a delicate woman but in reality she was the tank of her group in her glory days and an experienced adventurer.
Not to mention she's also a slut who sleeps with men every day.
"Oh? Oh my god who is this handsome young man?" The elf said in a seductive tone as she approached me.
Here we go...
"Good morning, Miss, my name is Gino Britzs, I'm here to pick you up and accompany you on your trip to Rapam. I'm a friend of Gesee Nukadia," I said with a respectful bow.
When I mentioned Gesee, Elinalise's playful expression disappeared and turned into one of doubt.
"Gesee's friend, huh? Where did you meet him?" She asked while crossing her arms.
"He helped me reunite with my family years ago in Millis, I was now in the northern territories when I received your letter and I came to find you as quickly as I could" I said with my best smile.
"Hmm...yes, he mentioned in the letter something about a travel companion..." She muttered as she closed her eyes and became thoughtful.
"And when did you get the letter? My letter arrived two days ago and that's why I left until now," she asked me while looking at me firmly.
"I was in the city of Pipin, you must know it right? It's about 4 days south of here" I said.
"hmm...I see, that's why it got to you first..." She said and the smile returned to her face.
"I see, I see, but?... you're not too young to be doing this, it's dangerous you know?..." She whispered in my ear while caressing my chest.
Don't worry miss, even if it doesn't seem like it, I'm a...Sword Emperor!" I said as I put my hand on my hip pointing at my sword.
I could see how Elinalise almost laughed at this but put a hand over her mouth.
"I-I see...and you know how far Begaritt is, right?..." She murmured while covering her smile with her hand.
"Yes, but I have a special method that will shorten that year of travel by one month!" I declared proudly.
Elinalise looked visibly intrigued by this as she looked at me.
"Oh? And could I know how you would do it?" She asked.
"Yes, it's in the forest a day from here, and I noticed that you are an elf, right miss? I could use your help to find my way around that forest," I said with a smile.
Elinalise didn't look entirely convinced by this as she looked me up and down.
"Okay, but it better work, okay?" She said in a mock serious tone.
I nodded with a smile at this and invited Elinalise to get on my horse,
She sat behind me and clung to me very unusually while holding my chest and resting her head on my shoulder...
Try not to take this behavior of yours seriously and we start traveling.
...
A few hours passed and the trip had been quite silent.
"And what did you do in Sharia if I may ask you, Miss?" I asked her.
"Heh, I had followed a friend of mine to the magic university, he had been there for two months until now but this letter arrived, it honestly took me by surprise" she said.
I could feel him leaning towards me as he said that.
"Two months, huh? And you left that friend of yours at the university?" I asked.
"Yes... I feel a little bad for leaving like this, I just let him know with a letter and I left" she said.
Two months...that's right...Rudeus is barely 15 years old at this time and is still starting his school year.
"And don't you have any relatives, Miss?" I asked her.
"Hmm? Yes, but not here..." She murmured silently.
I can guess that she knows that Fitts is actually Sylphie in disguise but never told her.
"Just that?...Doesn't you have a husband or boyfriend here?" I muttered.
"Why, am I so sexy? Hahaha, let me tell you no, but if you play your cards right maybe we can have fun on this trip" she said while kissing my ear.
I almost lost control of Patrick at this, but more importantly...she hasn't met Clifth yet...and apparently she won't be able to now, because she's traveling...
"I-I see..." I murmured.
Elinalise just laughed and we followed the path into the forest with her hugging me.
I decided not to ask him any more questions, because we are not close yet.
And so after a day of travel we arrived at the forest, Now to find that teleportation circle...
