chapter 9

After leaving the village in Sunhaven and traveling into the inner city to get our passes to leave through the gates to enter the dark forest, we finished up our preparations and headed off to the city of Evercrest. After traveling into the dark forest and fighting off monsters with my fire magic and sword, I was able to master it very well. After trying to find a way to fight using only one arm efficiently, I stumbled upon a wounded human man. It was interesting, so I helped him. After healing his wounds and leaving him to rest, he woke up and we told him about the state that we found him in. He expressed his thanks and told us his name was Drakar Scalesworth. The name sounded like Thuz's family name, so I asked him if he knew Thuz. He said yes, Thuz is his brother. He asked me where I saw him and I told him. He said that he was looking for Thuz because he had something to tell him about the tribe and their father. I asked him how Thuz and his brother were if he's a human. He said that it is not uncommon for female lizardmen in their tribe to mate with humans. After finishing our conversation and letting him rest up, he gave us a magic scroll to thank us for helping him and went on his way to the Sunhaven entry point.

After studying the magic scroll, it contained a magic spell that can store items like a magic bag. By placing objects in the magic space, it is able to keep items in their original state. So if I were to place wood that is on fire or a torch, it would keep the flames. But placing living creatures would age them rapidly, so if they were to put a human or animal in the space, they would age by two years every minute. However, it does not apply to non-living things. If a non-living object is placed in the space, it ages. So if I were to put an apple in the space for a week, it would only age by one hour. This magic is rare, and if you were to get it, you would be taken away by the king to serve in the Kingdom. By looking at the signs more closely, it looks like it was used on the door in the dungeon to keep it from aging. That means that's why the Eldritch Shrieker was still alive, because it was immortal and could not age. The magic space could not affect it. After telling Miss Isadora about my findings, she wrote a letter to the Adventure Guild detailing our findings. After sending off the letter, we headed off to the city of Evercrest. Two days passed, and we finally arrived at the city, almost reaching the end of my journey with Miss Isadora.
