After staying in the holy city for a week or so Shizu began her journey again. Although Hinata wanted her to stay longer but due to the things she said that day while drunk.

She gets too embarrassed while looking at Hinata so finding an excuse she left the city quite quickly.

Although Hinata wanted her to stay she knew about her situation so she didn't stop her. Rather she was preparing for a way to test the person Shizu talked about.

As Shizu left the city she made her way toward the Sorceors Sarion Dynasty. She has a certain friend there and they both have known each other for more than 50 years.

She had asked for her help regarding the kid's condition as she is quite a well-known alchemist. Upon hearing about the kid's condition she had asked to give her some time as she needed it to do research and find a cure.

So now that it has been two years it's time for her to visit her and see how far has the research come and if there is any way to help the kids.

Though the journey was long as Sarion is quite far from other cities she finally arrived there. Even after taking various carriages, it took her a month to arrive here.

"It seems to not have changed," Shizu muttered as she looked at the large tree with houses all around it.

It was a majestic sight looking at the city, even though there were houses everywhere it looked as if they were connected to nature. The tree gave an ethereal beauty and illuminated the large castle in its tallest and biggest branch.

It was the city and country of the elves known for its beauty and military strength by other nations. As most people here can live for thousands of years or even higher changes are quite rare here.

Enjoying the beautiful sight for a while Shizu started to walk toward the city. Climbing up one of the stairs she arrived in front of the main gate of the city. Showing her adventurer's card she was allowed to enter the city.

Well, it was the center hub and one of the main markets of the country. After all the tree is more massive than a person can think so even though the entire country lies in a single tree it is divided into various parts.

There are various cities in the branches of the tree each spread out while being connected by a transportation system.

If all the land Sarion was put on a flat space it would only be a little smaller than the Eastern Empire.

Looking at the market bustling with not only Elves but other races also she made her way toward a transport center.

Arriving there she got a ticket for a ride toward one of the farther residential areas and waited for her ride to arrive.

There were other people next to her that were also waiting for their own ride. After a while, a large carriage driven by two forest eagles stopped in front of them.

Shizu stood up as this was her ride and entered the carriage, other people also entered the carriage.

Seeing all the passengers enter the carriage the driver commanded the eagles to fly which they did.

Spreading out their large and colorful wings they took flight and began their journey. Even though they were flying there was no unnecessary movement of the carriage giving its passengers a smooth journey.

The carriage stopped at various places and dropped the passengers. After an hour of flying the only person left in the carriage was Shizu and they had finally arrived at her destination.

As Shizu exited the carriage what came to her view was a large and dense forest covered with tall trees.

"Are you sure this is your destination, Mam," The carriage driver asked looking at the forest.

"Yes, A friend of mine lives here," Shizu replied.

"Oh, that's what it is. After all, this is not a popular tourist destination. Anyway, have a great day mam." The carriage driver said and drove away.

Although it looked like a forest but looks can be deceiving, as this is a small city mostly inhabited by scholars and the like. Her friend being an Alchemist also lives here as the calm and silent environment here is quite good for concentration.

Taking off her mask she started to walk in the direction of the forest. As she entered it she felt like she just passed through a barrier.

She knew of this barrier already as it was erected to keep out unwanted guests. But as Shizu is not that and most people living here know her she wasn't stopped by the barrier.

When she passed through the barrier the scene changed and what once was a dense forest looked like a small city. Most of the houses here looked like that of trees many elves were roaming around the city.

"Oh, Shizu it's been a while." The voice of an old man greeted her.

"Likewise Mister Stine." Shizu greeted back as she looked at the old man in front of her.

"You have grown a lot since the last time I saw you." The old man remarked as he looked at Shizu. The old man was wearing a scholar uniform and was holding some books in his hand.

"And you have change at all," Shizu replied back.

"HoHoHo, well I am an elf."

"Anyway last time you came I wasn't in the city. I heard from Silica that you asked her for help regarding the other worlder children. Though not much this should help you as it has some of my research related to that and Magicule poisoning." The old man said and the ring in his hand glowed and a book came out of it.

The old man handed the book to Shizu and told her about the information in it.

"Thank you," Shizu said.

"HoHo, don't mention it kiddo, well then see you later as I still have some research left to finish."

The old man said and left the place, Shizu looked at the book in her hands for some time and then made her way toward her friend's house.

(A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter and that's that for now. Anyway I don't have much to say so goodbye for now.)
