Chapter 110: City Near the Region's Border
"Father, can we use your acceleration magic? At this rate, we'll spend the whole day on our way to the city." Sylvia turned her head towards her father behind them, and Elysia also took a look.
Sylvia's father could easily keep up with Vanessa's steady flying speed, as expected of the Devil Emperor.
Dylan had never felt like a guard before, not to his daughter either. Usually, he always assigned some particular person somewhere to accompany and protect his daughter.
This time he had to do everything for his daughter, who was dear to him in this world. At least, that was all he could do after realizing he had hurt his daughter in a different light.
"Hem." Dylan didn't answer with words but only by clearing his throat.
Even so, he moved his hand, and a red magic circle suddenly appeared right below them. Furthermore, a thin blanket of reddish magic energy covered the white tiger's bodies, then the two girls. As the magic caster, Dylan was also enveloped in that reddish magic blanket like a spherical barrier.
After protective magic and minimal acceleration magic were ready, he executed it immediately. They sped off at speed 15 times faster than the steady speed earlier.
*Swoosh*
The sound of gusts of wind colliding with the reddish magic energy barrier rang out. They were flying at a speed of approximately 6000 kilometers per hour. It was still Devil Emperor's stable acceleration magic, not his maximum acceleration!
"This is great! This way, we'll probably be there in two or three hours." Elysia smiled then looked forward again.
She deliberately did not contribute with her light speed magic because she wanted to assess this father and daughter duo's abilities... Especially Dylan, the most feared devil by humanity.
In contrast to Elysia's joy, Sylvia frowned in displeasure at seeing this pure energy aura color. She immediately looked at her father again while giving a lip gesture that said about his forgotten identity.
'Father, now you are a Spirit Mage, then what's with this reddish color magic? It's the color of an Emperor's magic! Make it dark blue now!'
Dylan decoded cipher sign language from his daughter's lips and translated it into a language he could understand. He remembered that he should be a Spirit Mage and not a Devil Emperor, and his daughter was only an Apprentice Mage.
Instantly, the magic blanket color quickly changed from reddish to dark blue. He also managed to obscure the reddish aura energy on his body. Dylan couldn't change the color of the 'energy aura' from his body and could only disguise it with a few tricks.
"Huh? The color of the magic blanket suddenly changed? Is something wrong?" Elysia asked, somewhat worriedly.
She had another perspective on this change regarding magic defects due to deficiency or backlash. Even a person could suffer a drop in his power level due to specific events or accidents.
"Has it changed? I only saw a faint dark blue color. Maybe it was because of the reflection of the moonlight or some unknown light." Sylvia tried to come up with an excuse, even if it didn't make any sense. It was all her father's fault, and he was not talented in disguises because he was always himself.
"Is that so? If nothing is wrong, then great."
"By the way, Ais. Are you really still at the Apprentice level? You managed to beat my father, who is at Spirit level, you know?" Sylvia was delighted and let out a sigh of relief. Her new friend didn't question it any further.
She immediately tried to change the topic of conversation. It was still 2 to 3 hours before they reached their destination. She had better use this spare time to get to know Ais better.
"Yes, that's me. I played a little trick, and it worked. I just got lucky, Lys. Maybe in another exchange in a rematch, I will suffer defeat."
"Yes, you are so lucky, very, very lucky." Sylvia only nodded as if in agreement, but her heart couldn't believe that ridiculous little trick.
She believed her friend was also in disguise and infiltrating the Human Continent, similar to herself. A new friend became a friend upon a mission of struggles and adventures, a really great backstory.
"Are you only 17 years old, Ais? You look so young and full of life. You are still in the growth stage and will definitely be prettier and much prettier in 2 to 4 years in the future." Sylvia became hesitant.
She had already tried to judge her friend's age by briefly examining the magic energy structure in Ais's body. However, all she got was that Ais had just reached adulthood and was still young in magic.
"Not really. I just turned 16 one week ago." Elysia answered that simple question lightly. It was taken from the information about Alisha's birthday.
"What!? So young? So, you've just been able to use magic? The magic circuit in your body is still new for magic execution, right?" Sylvia stared in disbelief.
Although the previous one was doubtful, this one was true. Ais was still around that age from her sight and judgment, whether she used magic or not. Was it possible Ais could also disguise her magic structure to become younger?
Sylvia always looked just 18 years old, but she could be identified by assessing the magic circuit structure that she was already over 5 centuries old. However, Ais, who could beat her father, was still 16 years old!? Was she really a human race? No one would believe it! Sylvia shouted in her mind.
Unfortunately, Sylvia couldn't feel Ais's aura of lies. All she knew was Ais was sincere and honest in her words. This really made Sylvia and Dylan confused. They met a dead-end in guessing Ais's identity.
"If your father was a Spirit Mage, then what level are you now, Lys? You two came to the lake from the sky, right? You also can fly?" Even though she already knew the answer, Elysia just wanted to change the topic that kept asking for her information. She felt it was sufficient for the exchange of personal data between acquaintances.
"Um, I'm still on the Apprentice level, just like you. I came from the sky because my father propped me up in the air hehe... You know, Ais. This will be the story of our true adventure, we will explore--"
Sylvia giggled awkwardly and then brought up the topic again with a long chirp about the fantastic adventure they were about to embark on across the vast world. She had just asked for personal information, but when it was her turn, she felt uncomfortable.
Feeling the brief exchange of personal information was over, Elysia only responded back with another story. Then they chatted about trivial matters concerning the slice of life. Meanwhile, Elena fell asleep on the way because she felt very sleepy. She could easily fall asleep on long journeys.
Dylan only eavesdropped on the two girls' conversation from behind, even though it wasn't his wish. In his mind, he thought his daughter had finally found a real friend, the friend she had been hoping for all this time. But his heart still raised suspicions about the real identity of this girl named Aisyle.
The three hours passed swiftly with joy and accompanied by the chirp of two girls who exchanged their thoughts through their words. They were finally close to Rosemoor City, and they landed right near the city entrance gate.
The arrival of the three of them with a large winged white tiger made the guards near the gate suddenly become alert and shocked. Still, when they saw who had just come, they relaxed their suspicions.
Two beautiful girls like princesses from somewhere came riding a winged white tiger. Then, a handsome but cold-looking man in black robes followed behind them as their protector.
The two princesses came to visit the city on a Spirit Beast. But why did they come so late at night like this? However, since they came openly before the city entrance and didn't look evil, all the guards weren't too worried.
"Halt! Who are you and prove your identity. What is the purpose of you coming to Rosemoor City at night like this?" The nearby guard clad in light armor firmly exclaimed. All persons who would enter the city must be inspected to follow mandatory procedures.
"We came from Pitmedden Village near the border of the eastern and western regions. Please forgive us, our arrival is too late because the journey is quite far. This is a letter from the local village chief. We came to a big city to be adventurers." Sylvia immediately got down and handed the guard a piece of paper from the village with the village head's signature, her father's agent.
"Alright, I hope your adventures will be great and bright! If you don't know the city layout and the guild position to register, the city map is on the notice board there." The guard returned the original official letter from the village head and pointed to a notice board not far from them.
"Thank you, have a good night's assignment. Goodbye." Sylvia waved her hand, then climbed back onto the white tiger's back.
"Spirit Beast, huh. Although it's rare, it's not something that never happens. Please take good care of your Contracted Beast. Any damage will be suspended on you." The other guard didn't forget to remind them, but he received a tail whip from Vanessa. It didn't hurt and only made him fall on his butt.
They left the guards and their laughter at the guard who fell on his butt. They just walked over to the city map for a moment and then went to the guild. Elysia couldn't help but register to become an adventurer because of the two unusual devils and their unknown hidden agenda.
