The caravan continued traveling through the night.The entire journey was a smooth and quiet one, probably because Julia was out there getting rid of any suspicious individuals eyeing the group. Nobody came to attack them again that night.However, everyone was worried about Nia's condition, so the group traveled in silence. They stopped pretending to be merchants, choosing to abandon most of their goods so that they could travel faster instead.A few days later, they finally arrived at the port of a city. A giant ship was docked in the wide berth of the river. Everyone quickly got onto the ship and let the sails down, making full use of the currents and the winds to move even faster.As Carl stood on the deck of the ship, the gloominess he felt over the past few days disappeared. Anthony told him that if they went by ship, they would only take three days to reach Bach Castle. On the contrary, Hervor remained extremely depressed and she would sigh from time to ti

Nia's cheeks were flushed with color and she was astonished to find that the symptoms that she had been suffering from for so many years had completely disappeared.Before this, her heart had felt like a huge stone weighing her body down, regardless of whether she was sitting upright or lying down, so she was constantly breathless. Now, she felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off her body and she was feeling relaxed, so relaxed she did not feel like herself."I… I've really recovered!" she exclaimed in disbelief. She was both amazed and delightedCarl was very calm and even burst her bubble. "It's a little too soon to be happy. I don't know if it was a good idea to heal you at such a time…"Nia's expression fell as she remembered what was happening just before she went into a delirious state."It's all right." Nia was calmer than he expected and she even smiled. "I used to dream of the day I could be healed of my illness. Even if I we

Nia and Julia were confused. How was yelling for help an ultimate move? Carl continued yelling, “Bryant! Hervor’s hurt! If you don’t appear now, she’s going to get herself killed!”He did not mention Irina, but he was certain that Bryant would understand what he was driving at.At that moment, Cassius’s expression fell. The gigantic magic circle had suddenly become extremely unstable.A different dim and dark magic circle suddenly appeared amidst the snow within Cassius’s magic circle and gave off dark green flames. These flames collided violently with the pale blue icy crystals in the air to paint an unsettling yet gorgeous picture. There were so many waves of energy in the air that it felt like the sky was falling.Carl, however, was relieved to see this. He just knew Bryant had to be secretly watching from behind.Cassius had a grim look on his face. Even though Bryant had covered himself with a thick gray cloud o

Before the merchant ship left, Nia tried to convince Carl and Hervor to stay one last time, “Carl, Hervor, we’re going to set off tomorrow, so I hope both of you can stay and help me…”“Nia, I’m really sorry,” Carl refused her politely. “We’re just ordinary adventurers and we don’t know anything about fighting in an army.”Nia knew that Carl was just making up excuses to turn her down nicely, so she sighed quietly, then smiled at them. “Since that’s the case… Carl, I hope that you have a safe journey all the way back to Toodadis! The Sakir Kingdom will always welcome you two!”“Thank you!” Carl nodded and stood with Hervor on the deck as they waved at Nia and the rest. “Goodbye!”The ship let its sails down and cruised down the canal, slowly disappearing out of sight.Nia watched as the ship became nothing but a black dot in the distance and mu

Several months had passed since Carl had fallen into the river at Fallen Eagle Cliff, got himself washed down into Philigia and then moved to the Sakir Kingdom. During this time, he had been very worried about Melissa.When he heard from Dennis that the young countess was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. After casually asking about a few more things, he dismissed Dennis as the merchants continued on their way.A guard came up to Carl and asked, "Sir, we've captured several pirates. What do you want to do with them?""Feed them to the sharks," said Carl without hesitation. He had no sympathy for these pirates."Yes, sir!" The guard ran off to carry out his orders.After Carl returned to the ship, Hervor stared at him very strangely. She stared at him so hard that the young man felt all his hair stand on end. When she still did not explain why she was staring at him this way, he sighed and said, "Hervor, are you upset that I decided to put the pir
