Chat Group For Magicians

.After wrapping up the mess we made inside the Church of Order, I destroyed the Church itself. As to why I did that, if there is no evidence to find, then there is no way for you to be tracked by anyone. The people that we rescued were all handed to the nearest guards. To make sure that we remained anonymous, I acted as an informant to the guards that I found a few people in a certain area in the forest currently needed help. After that, I flee from the scene and went to the rendezvous area with Ishana and Yami.

"You are late. We have already let the first guy back to our world. We also made sure to wipe out his memories regarding to this world," Yami said.

"That is good. We can't let that guy get traumatized from everything that happened in this world. It is not a good idea for us."

"So, we have one down but we still a lot more to find. Where should we go?" Ishana asked.

I looked to Yami since most of the time, he has the most intel out of us.

"No idea. The other intel I got are all dead ends and has no definite proofs to be worthwhile for us to check," Yami said.

"If that is the case, we should instead go to the nearest village or city we can get immediately while we are in this place!" Ishana said.

"Random choice, eh? Well, that doesn't sound bad," I nodded and pulled out the map. For someone like me who read books a lot, reading the map of this world is proven to be a not so easy task.

Unlike the normal map we usually use to check the geography of the world and to check the names of the countries and continents, the map here is much more on the illustrative side. The map we are using is the oldest version of the map of this world as the new one is considered to be a real high tech and purchasing it is not possible for our current budget that we got from doing random requests these past few weeks. We have to suffer using this one.

"Let's see, the nearest landmark we can actually go right now is the Northern Kingdom. The villages are all part of the Northern Kingdom's territory and to visit the nearest one, we have ton`enter the kingdom's border."

"I got some info of that place. I heard that is the kingdom who is the one leading the frontlines against the battle to repel the demons. They are also quite well known for their ability to summon heroes from another world," Yami explained.

"Hey, I also have that info too! I even heard that they summoned a few heroes to take on the demon invasion that might occur anytime soon. From what I heard, the group the heroes are all classmates," Ishana said.

"Oh, so this kingdom is quite notorious for those transmigration sh*ts happening. We might have a chance here to find someone that got transmigrated here to be in mixed in with them."

What I said is not just some speculation but I am already suspecting things like this is already happening.

"Is that our destination this time?" Yami asked.

"Yes. And since it is the center of business, we might get a good chance to get bigger jobs that pays more, which we can use the money to buy that expensive map of theirs."

That night, our main destination is finally set and the beginning of our involvement to the war with the demons in this world.

...

We only travelled for one day and we already arrived on the border of the kingdom. We have to pay for the entry pass for the gate to get inside without too much process. In exchange, we are left with half a day amount of money to use for our food. The lodging cost does not include in our current budget which means we have to do some job to get enough money.

"Those f*cking guards! They have the smell and traits of greediness emitting from them!" Yami gritted his teeth.

"Now, now, we shouldn't do a scene here, Yami. I know you are upset due to the expensive entry pass but we can't do a single thing about that. Besides, earning money is easier here since we can do odd jobs here and there. We don't need to worry about it too much," Ishana said, calming down Yami who is already ready to fume out his anger.

"Ishana is right. We have to stay low for now. We don't need to attract the attention of those people to us."

"Tch," Yami clicked his tongue. Although he is hot-headed, he can hold his temper well enough.

Aria peeked outside of Ishana's hood as she looks around the place. She has the sparkle on her eyes.

"Wow! There are so many buildings here! This is the first time I have been into a human settlement!" Aria said as she wander her eyes around.

"You should hide for a little bit, Aria. We can't be sure if the people around here are trustworthy enough or they have no ulterior motives to capture a pixie like you," Ishana said.

"Huh? Aren't the humans are the protector of the world?" Aria innocently asked.

"Yes, but actually no. There are people who does the protecting though there are also those who wish destruction. There are also those people who indirectly destroys the world slowly due to their greed not satiated easily. And as rare as a pixie like you, it will be a real treat for some people to catch someone like you," Yami said without even holding back.

"Aaaah... no..." Aria shrink back to the hood of Ishana, shaking.

"Ugh, Yami, you are really ruthless with your mouth aren't you? You should at least sugarcoat your words a little bit to avoid scaring the others," Ishana said as she calms down the little pixie.

"Sugarcoating it doesn't help anyone at all. It only worsen things and will only make someone blind of the truth, don't blame me if they keep being ignorant if they are being treated like that always."

Ishana stayed silent. Yami's words might sound harsh but that is the truth. However, we are wasting time here so I decided to stop the conversation when one of the villagers came running around and is shouting to the people around to inform them.

"The heroes will be passing through alongside with Princess Sera and her fiancee Saratovio!"

The heroes eh? This is going to be interesting...
