Chapter 398: Illusory Forest Part 4

p Pov Alan's:

During the trip the second test was useless, the five days of travel were smooth as any monster in the vicinity fled, with the exception of one that died due to an arrow that came flying from inside the big chariot.

On the first night in the Illusory Forest, the masked group made a fire to cook and eat inside one of the most dangerous areas on the continent, at that moment I didn't know if they were idiots, bold, or convinced of more of their own strength.

But what surprised me again was that they noticed the Elves that were following us, I thought only Darcia and I had noticed.

As strange as this situation of eating in this place was, I must admit that the meat was delicious, I thought it was on par with Imperial Palace food.

On the fourth day of the trip, I was in our carriage talking to Bianca while Darcia was sleeping.

"What do you think of them after these days?" (I)

"I examined everyone with my Aura except the boy since he couldn't." (Bianca)

"From what I could identify none of them are criminals in the eyes of the Goddess of Justice, with the exception of the green-haired woman Demi." (Bianca)

"The one that has the same strength as Darcia?" (I)

"Yes, but it's a little strange how I feel about her, the power of Aura that I have can assess the accumulation of injustices and crimes that someone has committed, it also allows me to know some things like if the person has already been judged if people have already received their punishment or whether the person is innocent." (Bianca)

"Because of that I feel an equal amount of guilt and innocence coming from this woman, it also feels like she's getting her punishment." (Bianca)

"What would cause a state where a person is guilty and at the same time innocent?" (I)

"This is rare, but there are still some cases." (Bianca)

"Maybe she is innocent but she accepted to carry that guilt for some crime or she doesn't know that she is innocent." (Bianaca)

"You only know that about them?" (I)

"Yes, but something strange happened when my Aura came into contact with the boy." (Bianca)

"Yes, the God of Justice sent his oracle through the High Priest, I should begin my journey across this continent." (I)

"Furthermore, they sent us to this subordinate Realm to find out more about our mission, then they sent us to this allied Elf village." (I)

"The royal family of this Kingdom has been very dignified, the cities we passed through were very good." (Bianca)

"The King said that the Elves of this place would know in greater detail about the quest, I hope they know something more useful than the spies of the Grimo Kingdom." (I)

"Just remember not to be disrespectful, the village we're heading to has a World Tree, plus they're not underlings of the Empire." (Bianca)

"I know, I won't mess with the Elves, but I'll try to charm a companion among the Gray Elves." (I)

"It would be a good idea if you were a Night Watch, we don't have anyone who is good at detecting traps or is good at reconnaissance, ambush, and espionage." (Bianca)

"Exactly, we should take advantage of it since the Elves of this continent are more open to coexistence with other Realms." (I)

"Also, that boy's group has three Elves, among them a Gray Elf, so we should get a mate too." (I)

"Just don't forget about the quest just because you're looking for a new member for our group." (Bianca)

"You talk too loud, can't you see I'm trying to sleep?" (Darcia)

Soon we'll get to the third test site, maybe there I'll be able to find out more about this group of masked people.

I must say that I would love to invite all of them to join me, but I don't know if they can be trusted, I'll wait until I get to the Elves village to know more about these people after I know more about them the quest.

----------

As time passed we arrived at the place of the third test, I only stayed a few seconds in the illusion before releasing myself, illusions do not work on Bianca as her mind cannot be influenced by external powers and her eyes are able to see through lies.

The biggest problem was Darcia who needed help from Bianca's magic to not be carried away by her wishes for the illusion, but we were already prepared for that.

From now on, there's only one more week to go to reach the village of the Elves, the trip has been much smoother and more pleasant than I thought.
