Chapter XXIX - A convenient internship day
GG3
Since they had decided to act together, the exchange of information was naturally indispensable.
Moreover, having already received quite a few good things from Princess Anne, it was natural that we couldn't continue to hide information at this time.
After explaining my previous suspicions through that sketchy map, I quickly gained their approval.
Although I could tell that the other two attached themselves to the princess a little more, but since someone could understand just fine.
"We come with a magic device that locates us automatically, so don't worry about getting lost~"
Princess Annie showed the positioning device they carry, it feels like a GPS, the downside is that it's so big that you actually have to take out a separate space ring to install it, and it consumes magic crystals at a frighteningly fast rate, just activating it once will consume about 3 cubic centimeters of magic crystals, it's like burning money.
But now we already know the location of the river and I don't have to pay for the use of this crystal, otherwise I would really have to vomit blood.
"The problem is that this strange phenomenon has been occurring for more than that amount of time ah, according to the information given to me by the Intelligence Department, that river has been flowing for at least 15 years."
"Fifteen years ago..."
It would be impossible to say that no one has found it in fifteen years. Did I make a mistake?
"Ahhhh, really, then I really don't know."
"Well... it's fine, it's fine to just go take a look. After all, encountering something like a crystal heart can only happen randomly. After all, it's just a coincidence that we got the Crystal Heart."
"Coincidence? By the way, how did you find the Crystal Heart?"
"Ah, that ah...it was Angela who found it, by the way."
Putting down the map, Princess Anne pointed to Angela next to her. Hearing the princess point to her name, Angela shook her blue curls and gave a noble salute.
"It's an honor to help Your Highness. Ahem, well, actually, I took that crystal heart from a beast."
"Snatched it?"
I pinched the point between my eyebrows, then asked very seriously.
"Sir Angela, can you elaborate on that?"
"Sure."
This guy's good to talk to more than a little since he brought honorifics with him.
"That's when I, Elaine and Her Highness and her servant entered the forest, I felt as if something had been following us, and then, when I happened to look back, I noticed a strange black creature watching us from a tree not far behind us."
"So you killed it?"
Followed by...that should be followed by your teacher, right? The poor little creature probably just happened to be there.
"No, that guy was so fast that we all dodged each other easily when we attacked together with water arrows."
"A highly agile beast?..."
Among the highly agile creatures in the forest, there are many other creatures besides the jumpers that also have high attacks. But among them the jumpers were the most dangerous.
"So how did you eliminate them in the end?"
"Humph! That's because I have skills that specialize in dealing with such high-speed enemies."
After saying that, the blue elements quickly converged on Angela's body, but instead of magical lines appearing on his body like when he released the skill, a thin blue film surfaced on his surface!
No, it wasn't a film, because in the next second a blue shadow similar in shape to Angela's stepped out of him. And this shadow was three-dimensional, but without facial features, it looked like one of Angela's silhouettes.
"Blue Phantom, one of the 4 great phantom arts of the Punk family. Although the Punk family doesn't have any outstanding achievements in business or politics, they are quite famous on the main road in terms of their ability to use psionics, and are the strongest of the families that use water-based psionics."
Hill explained beside him.
"Hill you know so much."
I said surprised.
"No la, it's just that I happened to have seen it before."
The Water Phantasm was summoned and moved back and forth between the forest and the forest at an extremely fast speed, a speed that was actually similar to what Yabai had done before!
Illusion...can you actually add illusion to magic? I thought it was pretty normal before when I saw that there were two professions, Magic Knight and Magic Assassin, but if you can even add in things like illusion...is this an entity or an illusion?
I was just about to touch it, but the blue shadow suddenly dissipated and disappeared into magical elements in the air.
"10 seconds is already my limit... This thing is fast, but there's no other use for it other than as a raid."
Angela said as she gasped for breath, it seemed that it was not only draining his magic, but also his physical strength.
"In other words, you used the 'Blue Phantom' to bring down that strange beast, right?"
"That's right, it was only ten seconds, but we used 'Blue Phantom' to knock the other party unconscious in no time, and then we rushed over and found the Crystal Heart just below the spot where that monster appeared."
"Hmm, which means you didn't see the monster's body?"
"Yes."
Beasts that will send crystal hearts... It's strange, why haven't we met something so good?
How is this the same attribute as the most delightful angel goat inside a certain track, I'm sorry if I don't brush it when I encounter such a good thing.
"I don't know what kind of creature it is, but since we know that such a beast might drop a crystal heart, we'll just keep an eye out for such a demon after that."
"About that... it seems impossible."
Princess Annie sighed.
"Since then we haven't been able to encounter even normal magical beasts like that at all."
"Can't encounter them?"
I looked to 6 next to Princess Anne.
"Did you ask Miss 6 to take the murderous aura off her? Even a monster at the level of 'Jumpers' wouldn't dare to approach if they kept their killing aura up."
"6!"
"I'm so sorry Your Highness!"
6 immediately knelt down.
"It was my mistake not to think of that! I'm sorry for the damage I've done to the princess. Please punish me!"
"Hey, really..."
Princess Anne shook her head sadly.
"What's the point of punishing you?"
"Princess Annie, Miss 6 is also doing this for your safety, so..."
"I know I know."
Princess Annie interrupted me with a sigh.
"I've been best friends with 6co since a long time ago and I'm not going to punish her, don't worry."
"Princess...I...I..."
"Well, just keep a good guard, and don't reveal your murderous intent unless someone attacks me."
"Understood, Your Highness."
6 said as he stood up and then pushed behind Princess Anne, having the standard smile he had put on his face before.
This guy wasn't wearing a mask, was he? This expression is a friendly smile, but this not changing at all makes one feel weird ah... Never mind, just ignore it.
"But if we're going to look for it, we should be looking for the more distinctive magical beasts, right?"
"Phil's right, after all, there are so many magical beasts in this forest, if a crystal heart is going to appear, it's only going to be on the more distinctive beasts, right?"
I didn't expect that the first to agree with my opinion was Elaine. He took out a book that looked like a dictionary from inside his own pocket and turned to me after flipping through a few pages on it.
"It has the names of the beasts that might appear inside Griffin's Forest, it was last revised 5 years ago, and the data on it is quite reliable."
"Awesome!"
Seeing the book's detailed information about the beasts and their weaknesses really scared me.
This world actually has a collection of information like a strategy book! This is awesome!
"To put it simply this forest is divided into two places, the inner and outer layers, the outer layer being these forests and the inner layer being the large mountain. Inside the forest, there is the 'turquoise leaper' that dominates with its speed, the 'demon wind' that dominates with its attack power, and the rarely encountered beast 'earth turtle'. And if you're on the inner level... you'll encounter a different beast almost every time, so it can be said that it's an area full of riddles."
"So, it seems that if we can get up to the mountain, our chances of winning the lottery will be much higher, right?"
"Looks like it."
Still, it's a hike...really.
"It's getting late and I don't want to make the journey at night, so let's get ready for some rest."
The princess said, taking out a small cube box from inside her ring and placing it on the ground, then clicked it with her wand.
In the next second, an almost two meter high hut appeared!
My goodness...is there such a thing as convenience in this world?
Looking to the others, everyone took out something similar, even Hill.
"Phil, what's wrong with you?"
Probably seeing my lack of response, Hill came over to me and asked.
"So...why do you have this convenient house?"
"Eh?"
Hill looked at me strangely.
"The notice given by the academy says that the 'magic portable house' is something that might be useful, and there's something for us to buy, didn't you see that?"
"........"
Miss Mary never gave me anything like that!!!!!
