Chapter 48
1070 Words
To shorten my time of travel, I use a branch and applied float magic to it that made me truly a Witch. Still, I approach monsters and convince them to go to the Primus then live there also I gifted them the same as what give to the others.
I’ve been flying for two days and sooner I will arrive at the Marsh Ao Kingdom.
I’m excited! Will I make friends there? While I was there I also should invite a person that can help the advancement of.
“Stay away!”
I heard someone shout below me.
I saw a man in a coat being surrounded by Goblins.
He’s waving a branch at them but it didn’t threaten the Goblins and it keeps on coming towards him.
I fled towards them and landed between them.
I cast a sleeping spell at the Goblins and they slept.
“Hey, are you okay?” I asked. As I look at him, he is covering his face with a headdress and has a curtain with it. I can’t fully see his face.
I reach out my hand to help him get up but he’s just there sitting without making any move.
“Hey…” I tried to get his attention. Is he still in shock?
“M-mother?”
I was stunned.
“Mother?” I thought I was genderless! Then, how can I have a child?
Original Ester, did you do something!? If you did, I will not take responsible!
This man, is just the same age as me! How can I have a child when I am asleep? Is this man mine?
Wait, just like Moon he didn’t age and a hundred years old which means that this man might also have immortality.
Ester have a child before I came.
“I’m sorry, I mistake you for a wrong person.” He corrected.
He accepted my hand and get up.
I’m sorry Original Ester for doubting you.
“Thank you for helping me. If you didn’t stop those goblins, I’m afraid I might do something to them.”
I doubt. I just saw you waving the branch at them.
“Why are you here?”
It is not safe here cause there are wild monsters especially when he is alone.
“I’m gathering quartz.” He handed me the basket he is holding.
Inside the basket is different colors of quartz.
“What is this for that you risk your life in getting this?”
He played his fingers. “I am going to make a charm.”
“Charm?”
Oh! I heard that in Shoe’s Grimoire. It is about quartz that is combined with a material like a sword to make it enchanting.
“Charm that is a quartz and a weapon combine to make it enchant, right?”
“Yes.”
“Wow! That’s amazing.”
He blushed and look down to hide his face from blushing.
“You think so.”
“But, you shouldn’t go this far. Where do you live? I’ll take you home.”
He jumped. “Oh no… I don’t want to waste your time.” He step back and waved both of his hands in front of me and telling me ‘no need’.
“Come on, I’ll take you.” I offered again.
He keeps on rejecting but I didn’t stop and continued to push my offer until he gave up.
“I live at Marsh Ao.”
What a coincidence!
“I’m going there too, it is a half a day from here to Marsh Ao so let’s us use this log to ride there.”
I pick up the log and it’s quite heavy.
“The log has no wheels, we cannot ride that.”
I cast a float magic to it and hop in.
His jaw dropped, “ I can’t ride that.”
“Why? We will get faster there if we use this.” I waved him to hop in but he shakes his head.
I sighed, “Then let’s walk.”
I hop out but the log is still floating for the bag that I brought with me.
We walk until we arrive near the gate of Marsh Ao Kingdom.
The Kingdom was massive, the castle is encircled by elegent houses and their many people.
“Aren’t you coming?”
I woke up from my amazement and followed this guy to enter.
There are the guard at the gate, checking out the people that is in and out.
We were next, the guy shows the guard a medallion and they let him in.
I showed the paper Calcifer that got for me. Once, the things are cleared up I got in.
The place is busy and I can’t help but to look around. The setting is at medieval age, the woman is dressed while the man is wearing polo shirts.
“Maam, is this your first time here?” The guy asked me. He must have noticed my absent-mindedness and ignorance.
“Yes, this is my first-time so everything is new to me.” I honestly said.
“I’ll take you around.” He offered me. Of course, I accept because I know I can trust him.
We visited to a big restaurant even though I don’t need to eat, I enjoyed the food because he’s the one who paid for it.
We visited several clothing stores and bought something for it and then a market, they sell different kinds of product here like crystals, quartz, food stock and a… symbol.
I went near it, “What is this?” I unthinkable said out loud.
“That’s the symbol of Knights, you must be a foreigner!” the store owner told me.
The symbol, there’s something to it that I can’t pinpoint. I know I’ve seen it before but where?
“Do you want to buy it?”
I nodded then the guy paid for it.
I held it in my hand and keep staring at it.
“You might get addicted to it if you keep on staring at it.”
But, I can’t stop! It’s bothering me and It’s telling me to remember.
Magic System.
What is this?
I asked MS, thinking I might get a clue.
‘The symbol of the Knights of the Marsh Ao Kingdom.’ She said.
That’s all?
‘The symbol was made by the Head Knight, Dalia Marsh.”
