"Sounds like too much trouble." replied Angus casually.
"Still, this Seven Faces group is quite intriguing. Although that old baldy will not intrude in this matter, the Nirvas still have the seventh grade. No matter how weak seventh grade is, it is not easy to evade their search." comnted Darren.
"Master Darren is right. It ans the other party has so unique ability to hide or has the power to rival seventh grade. Either way, it is quite dangerous to get involved with them." said Angus.
During this ti, a group of Altras is approaching Angus' group. This group gathers everyone's attention as it is led by one of the elders of the Nirvas' council.
"Hey, is that Elder Tedar?" comnted a passerby.
"The old way Tedar?! What is he doing here?" comnted another passerby.
"It seems he is approaching those outsiders." said another person.
Arriving at Angus' group, "Good morning, everyone. My na is Tedar Massvein. You could call Master Tedar or just Tedar. My team and I will guide you during your stay in Nirvas since Elder Kelraz… seems to et so unfortunate accident." said Elder Tedar respectfully.
Unfortunately, Tedar's introduction fell on deaf ears to everyone except Duchess Amberblaze. The silver-haired girl is still reading her book on the top of a flying pillow while Anna is busy munching the mountainous food in front of her.
Jayna is busy taking care of the little gluttony like a mother. At the sa ti, Angus is back reading various newspapers from the Nirvas. Only Duchess Amberblaze pays attention to the Tedar.
She could feel Tedar is strong like her, which ans he should be categorized as a pseudo-seventh-grade. Compared to Kelraz, Tedar is many tis stronger.
"Hello, you may have already known. My na is Duchess Extalia Amberblaze from the Heart Kingdom. We will tag along with Master Mira and Master Darren during our stay. I hope it is not a hassle." replied the Duchess.
Sensing the crimson-haired woman' strength, 'She is strong!!' thought Tedar in surprise.
As a magician, Tedar has good discerning eyes and a sharp mind. He could judge soone's strength when they talk to him.
After carefully looking at everyone in the group, 'Also, Is this the Vampire we fought a few weeks ago? H-He is so much stronger than his projection. His presence alone makes want to run away from him. This group is full of monsters.' thought Tedar.
Except for Anna and Mira, he could feel so sort of danger from everyone in the group.
"Sure. Let's get along. Anyway, do you have another place you want to visit?" asked Tedar, trying to remain calm.
"Yes. We planned to go to Redmore, the capital city. My Nephew currently has a diplomacy task there." replied Duchess Amberblaze.
"Capital city? S-Sure. We will lead the way. When will you plan to go?" asked Tedar in surprise.
Hearing Elder Tedar's question, "I think it is better to go now. Anna, stop eating too much or you will get fat." said Angus.
"Myoo.. Haannaa Wiss Wott Vatt. (No… Anna is not fat.)." replied Anna while her mouth was still full.
After everyone gets ready, they continue their journey to the Redmore using a high-class carriage. At this mont, Angus sohow feels sothing weird in the carriage and decides to use [Analyze] for precaution.
He knows the carriage is safe but sohow feels sothing from it. The carriage is enchanted with a complex space extension rune, making the interior as big as a small apartnt with many small compartnts.
It is incomparable to the carriage Angus' group used during their travel to Nirvas. Nirvas is famous for its space-related products. Throughout history, Nirvas also produced many strong space elental users.
This is not surprising since Nirvas has Craghost Town with massive space disturbance. The Altras have more chance to awaken space elental affinity than others.
The carriage travels fast through the stony path. They could see the surrounding area moving fast, as if they were inside a train.
"This is quite a good carriage. Where did you buy this?" asked Angus after frowning.
"Angus!! I am sorry, Master Tedar. This young man could be quite rude sotis." said Duchess Amberblaze.
"Nahh.. I don't mind. Youngsters always have too much energy. Besides, this carriage is sothing that couldn't be bought with money. It is one of the best carriages created by our brightest mind." said Tedar.
"Really?? Such a sha. Can you introduce to the crafter?" asked Angus.
"That's… I am sorry. It is not possible, young man." replied Tedar.
"Well, it's not surprising. Since it seems the crafter quite hates whoever forced him or her to make it." said Angus.
"Angus!! That's enough!!" rebuked the Duchess sternly.
"I am sorry, Master Tedar. He is not usually like this." said Duchess Amberblaze.
"Don't worry about it. Though it intrigues . How did you know the crafter is being forced or hates the owner?" asked Tedar.
"Seriously?!! I really wonder how your kind is still alive after angering this crafter. If I were the crafter, I might kill…" snarked Angus.
*Whoshh* "Stop it, Angus!!" said the Duchess as she glared at Angus and threw a punch at him.
Unfortunately, the Young Baron is ready and has already predicted her attack. The young baron could avoid the attack easily while glaring at his aunt.
Seeing the intense glare, "*Sigh* Angus, I don't know what makes you like this, but this is not appropriate." said the Duchess softly.
"Fine." replied Angus before going to one of the compartnts in the carriage.
"Big sis, Angus is angry." said Anna while sitting on Jayna's lap.
Jayna didn't imdiately answer and glared at Tedar for a mont.
"Anna, let's go and cheer Angus." said Jayna as she held Anna in her arms.
"Okay." said Anna shortly.
"Huft… I truly apologize for this, Master Tedar. He doesn't usually act like this." said the Duchess.
"Hmm… Truly, fascinating." comnted Darren from the side.
"I am sorry?" asked Tedar in confusion.
"Young Baron Angus' ability and mind to inspect this whole carriage is amazing. It took this long before I could notice the crafter's true intent. I am looking forward to his growth in the future." said Darren.
"Master Darren, what do you an by true intent? Is there so fault in this carriage?" asked Tedar in a hurry.
"Hmm… Why should I tell you? Why don't you just ask the crafter? Besides, any 'decent' crafter with good space elental affinity could easily notice this after so ti." mocked Darren.
Before Tedar can ask for more, Darren leaves the area, following his master. The latter also goes into one of the empty compartnts after knowing Anna is left.
In the anti, Angus lies on the bed while Anna and Jayna cuddle beside him. They enjoy each other warmly in silence.
After a long silence, "Ignorance is truly bliss, huh?" muttered Angus in a low voice.
"Hmm… If I had the knowledge of craftsmanship like you, I would probably be upset. Still, I could clearly feel the emotion of this crafter from the whole carriage." replied Jayna from his side.
"You could?!" asked Angus in surprise.
"It's subtle. But I could sohow feel it. I guess the crafter really has a strong emotion when creating this. I could feel her emotion from everything in this carriage. The floor, window, ceiling, and others." said Jayna.
"Her?! I don't know if it is a female." said Angus.
"Fire Phoenix's power is phenonal that could even differentiate the gender or sotis a particular race. I could also sohow sense soone's alignnt." said Jayna.
"Alignnt?!" asked Angus as he started to not think anymore about the carriage crafter.
"Yeah… It is as if these people are dark or bright. Soone with intense negative feelings or crazy has a dark alignnt, while happy innocent children are bright. Sothing like that." explained Jayna.
"That's quite prejudiced. But, it is not a bad ability as a precaution when eting unknown people. Co to think of it, what is my alignnt?" asked Angus curiously.
"Hmm… Did you really want to know?" asked Jayna.
"Yeah. What is it? Is it dark?" asked Angus back.
"Mhm.. it is and it's sohow getting darker each second. However, this dark is sohow never affecting you, which is weird." said Jayna.
"Really?? That's intriguing. How about Anna?" asked Angus while stroking the sleeping Anna.
"Dark like a void." replied Jayna directly.
"Guess so. How about you? Can you feel your own alignnt?" asked Angus.
"Mine is… Bright when I get this power, but it slowly turns darker." said Jayna.
"Hmm.. Did you know the reason?" asked Angus.
"Yeah. It's Fire Phoenix's darkness. Alignnt is not just soone's emotion or condition. It is sothing complex that is related to the soul. Even if Fire Phoenix seals her dark mories and moves on. She still could never leave the darkness in her soul." said Jayna.
"This darkness is too deep and will never revert to light. It is slowly affecting as now I beco one with her." added Jayna.
"Jayna, are you alright?" asked Angus in worry.
"I am not sure. Truthfully, I feel fine and it didn't affect at all. But this also makes worry. This darkness slowly spread in my soul, yet I didn't feel anything. I don't feel fear or any negative emotions. It is like I just know this part of and it's a normal process." said Jayna.
