Chapter 520 Back to Farm
The sun has woken up and is scattering its light, signaling others to wake up. The cold morning breeze was blowing slowly, touching the leaves of the trees and plants.
Shaking them off as if waking them up gently.
'Whoosh'
A giant shadow appeared; something huge was passing by from above.
There was a giant winged creature in the sky, beating his six wings to tear through the air and move at extreme speed.
The blue-colored fire was surrounding its whole body. What was strange was the condition of the two figures mounted atop it.
"By the way, where are we going this early?" I asked the boy sitting behind me with a mask on his face.
He yawned as he looked around.
"Why did you ask me to come along when you don't even know where I am going?" I asked the silver-haired boy before him with a smile.
Vinay didn't know how to answer that; he could not admit he was here to wade over Rishi.
He replied, "Are we going there?"
"Where?" Asked Rishi, his smile becoming bigger. He was enjoying this moment, teasing Vinay.
"There, where you were unable to visit in the past few months?" Vinay guesses, trying to be factually correct.
"Oh, but that's very general. Can you clarify further? I think I am confused."
"The beautiful place that you were missing, it has a separate place in your heart," he continued with his random guess, unwilling to back down.
Rishi was impressed with his ability to sprout bullshit.
"We are going to Mazar Academy," replied Rishi.
"See, that's what I was talking about. It's been a while since we have gone there."
"They have invited us as chief guests. We have to give a speech and guide the juniors," said Rishi.
"Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have prepared something." Vinay said it in a panicked tone.
As they were moving closer to Mazar City, Vinay was further convinced, and he started preparing a good speech boasting about himself.
He also thought about what he would say to the juniors.
Rishi controlled his laughter as they moved toward their destination.
They disengaged from the contract with the beast and entered the city through the gate; Rishi had still not gotten the license to ride the beast in the city.
He didn't have time, so he never thought about it. He then booked a Beast Carriage.
They noticed the changes in the street; it had become more crowded. The city had developed a lot in the past few years, and the fame of the city was directly proportional to its growth.
Rishi and Vinay were well-known figures in this city. They could move around everywhere for free and even purchase anything without paying.
This was the amount of influence they had there; they were the stars of this city that had made it famous in the region.
The Mazar Academy was near, and Vinay started to rehearse his speech. Not paying attention to other things.
After some time, he looked outside the window. He was fully prepared and confident that he would not mess up.
However, what he saw confused him; they were moving toward the borders when the academy was at the center.
He looked at Rishi, who was controlling his laughter. "Will we go to Acadeny later?"
"No," replied Rihsi as he burst out laughing.
"Why? And what about this reaction?" Vinay asked in confusion.
"I can't believe you fell for it," said Rishi as he lagged like a madman.
Vinay looked at him and showed an angry and upset expression; deep inside, he was even more happy than Rishi.
He was playing along with Rishi; he could take this humor any day if it could put a smile on his friend's face.
He sighed; finally, he could relax. He was unsure about him and his intentions and had been keeping an eye on him for the past few days.
Due to this, he was not able to get proper rest.
After this, he didn't ask Rishi anything. It was as if it didn't matter at all.
The carriage stopped before an enormous wooden gate guarded by many fully armed guards.
Rishi paid the driver, Vinay followed him, and they entered it.
Vinay was confused when he looked around. He looked at Rihsi with a puzzled expression. What were they doing here?
To this end, Rishi continued moving with his hand folded behind his back; he walked as if taking a walk in his own garden.
Vinay looked at the patch filled with varieties of trees. There were also big fields filled with high-quality green grass.
He first appeared in an orchard-type area filled with trees of different fruits.
He saw fast-moving, ferocious predators moving around. They looked at him and Rishi and hissed, wagging their tails.
They started approaching them aggressively. Vinay was about to take out his staff, but Rishi stopped him.
They jumped over them and started, licking them, especially the smaller ones.
Vinay rubbed their backs; I couldn't believe these magic beasts were this friendly.
He and Rishi played with them before they moved further; they appeared in the big fields.
It was then that he saw the creatures that he had seen a lot: the fast-moving, wingless birds.
There were a lot of them, and these ones were even stronger. They were larger and had shiny feathers.
"Moa Birds? Don't tell me you hatched them," asked Vinay as he looked at Rishi.
To this end, Rishi only gave him a cheeky smile, and as they moved further, Vinay was amazed when he saw multiple magic beasts.
He asked Rishi, "Don't tell me this is your farm."
"It is," said Rishi.
"Woah! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have brought eggs of rare magic beasts."
"Adventurers ignore them as they cannot hatch them; the process of hatching them costs way more than their actual worth."
Unlike what others might have felt, Vinay easily accepted the fact that Rishi had hidden something this big from him.
He was someone who believed that everyone had some secrets. He never intervened in Rishi's life.
Rishi was similar to him; he never asked for unnecessary things.
Because of this, they were able to get along so well with each other; they were both very secretive and didn't share their personal lives much.
There were many things that Vinay also hid from Rishi. It was not only because of trust, but the other reason was that they were irrelevant.
He would share them if there was a need; until then, he believed it was better for both of them if they focused on their own goals.
