Tristan was staring at the sketchbook before making so corrections to the drawing.
Felicia, who had been looking at him working nonstop, couldn't help but say, "Why don't you take a break for a mont? You've been looking at the runes for a whole day."
Tristan shook his head. "I don't have a lot of ti to learn all of this. In addition, the client this ti is extrely important. I don't want to make any mistake if possible so that I don't embarrass Teacher."
Felicia shook her head helplessly. "I understand your good intention, but from my experience, you better make one or two big mistakes first so that you can calm down. Besides, you can only feel assured because you're working with Duke Lorelei, who has a very good relationship with your teacher. If it's any noble, they might take advantage of your mistake to get sothing from your teacher."
"That's…" Tristan gasped, not knowing about it. The only thing he had done the whole ti was study, so he didn't have any experience.
This was the biggest reason why Noel sent Tristan to Duke Lorelei first.
For soone who valued new talents, Duke Lorelei would still reprimand him if he made a mistake but would also encourage him to take a step further.
Felicia couldn't help but glance at Andreas, who had been silent this whole journey. "Why don't you say sothing?"
Andreas glanced at her before turning back, as if he didn't have any interest in making a good relationship with the rest of them. He ca here originally for Noel to go to the beast kingdom, not to beco his retainer.
Felicia let out a sigh. It seed that she couldn't make Andreas open up to them.
On this journey, there were only four of them as the remaining people, such as Roel's children, were going to Duke Lorelei's territory separately. The last person among them was Sandra, who was currently driving the carriage.
"Still, for your first journey to be so dangerous, I guess your teacher is a bit sadistic." Felicia crossed her arms. Although she and Andreas accompanied them, it didn't change the fact that fighting against multiple grandmasters would potentially injure them. No, they might even die on this trip.
"That's fine. If it were not for him, I would have died in that sickening cell." Tristan shook his head. "He not only saved but also gave an opportunity to change my fate. I'll definitely do my best."
"Not that I can't understand the sentint." Felicia smiled.
When they were having a chat, Andreas suddenly raised his head as if he heard sothing with his sharp animal hearing.
"An attack?" Andreas frowned and opened the car's door before swinging his body to the roof. He stood up, looking at the grassland to the left.
Even though he had hidden his ears, it didn't change the fact that his animal ears could listen to a far higher range than a normal human.
"!!!" Felicia didn't understand what was going on, but because Andreas ca out, Felicia also ca out and flew above the carriage. "What's going on?"
"A few people are coming at high speed from there." Andreas squinted his eyes.
As soon as Sandra heard it, she asked, "Should I stop the carriage?"
"No. Go to the city as quickly as possible. We still need to travel for another three hours before we can reach the city, so we need to do everything to get closer to the city. We will be safe as soon as we et up with the duke," Felicia replied with the order Noel had given her when sothing dangerous happened.
"Understood." Sandra nodded with a serious expression. She continued to drive while warning, "Tristan. Be careful!"
Andreas couldn't help but squint his eyes as these people were getting closer and closer.
When they reached a certain range, three bolts of different elents were launched into the air before going down.
"Enemy's Attack!" Felicia shouted, warning them. She started channeling her spiritual energy to block them.
However, Andreas abruptly stopped her by saying, "Don't. Focus on attacking them. There are seven of them with three of them being spirit grandmasters."
"Tristan! Barrier!" Felicia changed her order imdiately, feeling a bit shocked that they had to fight three spirit grandmasters.
The three bolts of attack were about to reach them, but Tristan followed the instruction while looking at the incoming attacks.
"Activating the car's defense system. Activating the booster."
Right after Andreas noticed the fluctuation of energy, he jumped off the car. The grassland was quite tall, so it was a bit hard to see the enemies, but this wasn't a problem for Andreas.
anwhile, Felicia used her rune body to summon two Rain of Light Runes above her head. "Go!"
She rained all the light bullets on the grass field.
Knowing her capability, Andreas was simply forming a small barrier on his back as he continued marching toward the enemies.
The light bullets wouldn't be able to penetrate this weak barrier because the Rain of Light Rune was only to locate their attackers. There seed to be five people near them, with one of them moving in the opposite direction. "Four enemies spotted."
Still, the three bolts were about to reach the car. Instead of reinforcing the defense, Felicia summoned a teor Rune. "Go forth!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The three elental bolts hit the car's barrier. They were quite powerful, but it wasn't enough to destroy the barrier. Besides, the car had been filled with a lot of crystals, so they should be able to last for a few hours under barrages of attacks.
On the other hand, Felicia could focus on bombarding them with teor Rune.
As if noticing the strength of the teor, one of them leaped into the air. He was wearing a hood and a mask that covered his face, so they couldn't find anything about him unless they killed him first.
This person drew his blade, splitting the spiritual energy bomb into two.
Boom!
The teor rune exploded, but that was when Andreas appeared. Since this spirit grandmaster had used his full power to split the teor rune, he couldn't avoid him.
Unfortunately for Andreas, another spirit grandmaster had the sa idea. He leaped at the sa ti as Andreas and struck him down.
Soul Severing Strike.
Spirit Thrust.
The clicking sound echoed in the grass field, producing a powerful shock wave that didn't lose to the teor rune.
"Tsk." Andreas gritted his teeth as the other party overpowered him because he struck him from above. Andreas ended up crashing to the ground, but instead of worrying about himself, Andreas actually shouted, "Hurry up and stop the car. Use all the power in the defense system!"
"!!!" Felicia looked stunned, but Sandra managed to remain calm and pulled the brake, abruptly stopping the carriage.
Andreas had realized from that clash alone that the last spirit grandmaster was hiding his strength in the first attack. He matched the power of the spirit masters so that Felicia and Andreas thought the third spirit grandmaster was actually among the four people in the front.
However, they were wrong. A huge burst of energy shook the field as a giant sphere ford and turned into a bird.
"Go!"
The fire bird flew toward the carriage, which was already thirty ters away from them.
It turned out that the enemies wanted to separate them first by allowing the carriage to continue.
Boom!
The firebird caused an explosion three tis the size of the previous attack. While it didn't destroy the barrier, the car ended up getting blown away.
"Tristan, Sandra!" Felicia's face turned pale.
