「The Purpose of Preference」
In the forest where the morning fog shrouded the towering trees in a mist, the dark elf Ariane walked ahead with her gray cloak fluttering in the wind, while behind her, I followed closely so as to not fall behind.
The black cloak covering my armor had become standard attire while traveling these days. Above my helmet, Ponta gave a large yawn with tired eyes as she tried not to fall.
Early this morning, we left Raratoia Village, with us now heading for the Riburuto River that flowed through the forest of Canada.
As a result of last night’s discussion, it was decided that we would search the territories of the nobles whose names had appeared on several contracts. There were three names that appeared the most on the contract, and the name Ferris De Hoban was one that Dylan was familiar with.
The town named Hoban was governed by said noble, and since it was said to be within the Rhoden Kingdom, it was decided that we’d head for it first.
The town Hoban was apparently one of the towns along the highway that connected to the elves’ only official trading partner within the Rhoden kingdom, the Rinburuto Archduchy.
The town was a considerable distance from Raratoia. We first had to pass through the elven village Darutowa, which was downstream the Riburuto River. From there, after travelling west through the north side of the Annette mountain range, and passing through the vast forest afterwards, our first stop was the human town of Cellist.
Though using the transfer magical tool to travel from Ratatoia to Darutowa would take an instant, we decided against it as there was no way to know how the other side would react to a human learning of that secret.
I may know of the elves’ transfer magic, and furthermore be able to use it myself, but amongst the elves, only a small portion was aware of that fact, so such problems were inevitable.
Moreover, besides being able to transfer to locations I’ve already been to previously with【Transfer Gate】, there’s also【Dimensional Step】that can be used to travel short distances when the situation called for it, so I figured there would be no troubles, if any at all.
However, now in the middle of the dense overgrown forest without any roads, two people carrying bags of luggage on their shoulders along with one animal kept walking endlessly. Though in Ponta’s case, you can’t say that she was really walking…
There was a reason why【Dimensional Step】couldn’t be used.
It wasn’t possible to use general magic anymore. Ariane said that the fog that hung over our eyes, enveloping us, was the cause.
It was especially easy to lose your way within the particularly thick fog. A short distance away, the scenery became a hazy white, while anything past that can’t be seen through the fog.
With such a fog covering the thick forest and valley, the flow of mana seemed to have become obstructed, making magic difficult to control, resulting in the loss of the ability to use even the worst magic.
However, this seemed to be a problem that mainly affected humans, since the elves’ magic was directly controlled by spirits, and monsters and spirit beasts were immune to the fog’s effect.
It seemed to act like Minovsky particles…
Using basic magic such as starting an ordinary fire wasn’t a problem, so this fog may affect only sensitive types of magic.
Before long, I began to hear the sound of running water from beyond the veil of fog. Somehow or other, we reached our first destination, Riburuto River.
When we approached the riverbank, the surroundings immediately cleared up. Thanks to the wind that blew along the river, the fog was remarkably thinner compared to the forest. The view even extended unobstructed from downstream the river all the way to its upper reaches.
