Episode 2.6-7
The wagon traveled through countryside roads and even went into a mountain path, but it's going unexpectedly fast.
Lecan is keeping his pace with the wagon's while maintaining 30 steps distance on level grounds and 20 steps on the mountain path.
The wagon isn't stopping even when it's getting dark in the mountain. The reason why it can keep going in the dark is due to a curious apparatus that projects lights forward. It's probably a magic item. Stable bright lights that's impossible with candles or torch are shining the road where the wagon runs on.
Though, Lecan who's traveling in front of the wagon does not need to rely on that light. He's using his instead.
Unlike bare eyes, cannot distinguish colors, however it can see even in pitch black darkness. It can also see opponents hiding behind rocks or trees, and even inside a room as long as it's within range. It's truly a handy ability.
The wagon finally slowed down and eventually stopped.
"Let's make a camp here. Still, Lecan-san. You're wonderful. You were running all this ti yet you never wavered in the slightest. I wonder just how were you able to run with such confidence in this dark mountain path. You're really full of surprises."
"Should I go gather firewood?"
"Yes. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Sorry 'bout it Lecan-san. I'll hafta take care of these horses for a bit y'see."
Lecan gathered up dry wood for firewood. If he found a thick branch, he'd shave it off with his trusty sword. Ordinarily, a sword will rapidly loses its sharpness used like this, no matter how good it is. However, this sword of his has been embedded with a jewel enchanted with .
"Ooh! You collected this many firewood in no ti flat."
has no blind spot. Neither does it need a source of light. Gathering these dry wood is a re child's play for Lecan.
Chaney rummaged the wagon for sothing, and then a mysterious turquoise colored light lit up. It's a light clad with mana. Lecan knows this light, it's quite similar to a certain light.
"Monster Ward... eh?"
"Ooh! You're pretty well-inford. This is supposed to be a rare magic item."
"Is this big enough for the hearth?"
"Oh. When did you make that hearth. Those stones are nicely shaped. I'm amazed you could find them. Well err, it would be best if you could space it less. Just enough to put the pot."
Chaney took out a pot, so Lecan adjusted the hearth to match its size, and put dry wood inside and dry leaves on top.
Afterward, Chaney took so kind of small tool from his breast pocket and walked up to the dry leaves.
With a poof, a small fla lit up at the tip of the small tool and began burning the leaves. Must be a magic tool.
Lecan used a slightly thick dry branch to make the fla bigger, and put more thick dry wood to get it burning.
"Hohho. The fire is burnin' nicely. Lem take up on the cooking here."
Eifun who was done taking care of the horses brought the food and water bags with him, and started cooking.
"By the way, what should we do 'bout the young lassie?"
"I'm sure she'll co running here once she rembers she's still in the middle of a job."
That's quite a cruel sarcasm.
Eda was frantically running after the wagon. They had three breaks along the way, and she caught up with them during the third break after a while. However, she suddenly stopped at a certain point. Afterward, Eda's red dot stayed at that place. She must have collided with a tree.
"Doncha' feel sorry to let a young 'un be magic beasts' fodder. Lecan, how 'bout ya go and fetch her."
Eifun told him that, but Lecan is reluctant to part with his client.
"Rite', Chaney-san. We've got the Monster Ward with us anyway, should be fine even if he's gone for a bit, no?"
"Hum... well if Eifun-san says so, let's go with it. Lecan-san, I'm sorry, but if you could please. I understand that you must be tired and hungry, and it won't be easy to look around in the dark. Ah, would you like to take a Luminous Light (Fleurpalm) with you?"
"That apparatus that emits light? Lights from stars are good enough for ."
Lecan doesn't actually needs star lights, but he said that before rushing out.
However, sothing is bugging him.
His instinct is telling him that sothing bad would happen if he left this place for too long.
He's got to co back as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Eda is a bearer of powerful mana, it should be easy to find her.
Lecan took out a handful of grain-sized magic gems from . He needs these magic gems to resupply mana he'd consu from using continuously. It'll cost him a bit, but he has no other choice.
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"
Lecan runs above trees, heading straight toward the place where Eda had fallen.
