The white-robed elf helped Oliver and gave him a healing potion. They were vigilant of the sudden arrivals but after Oliver regained consciousness he instantly apologized and politely sought help.
He didn’t ask for much and just borrowed a communication device for a while to contact the Academy. Oliver was gland they landed in a place filled with life instead of a dangerous forest or worse a desert. In their current condition, there was no way the kids would survive without proper rest.
While Oliver was busy contacting the Academy. An old elf grandma took the kids into her wooden house.
The girls were relieved when they took a warm bath and changed into better clothes provided by the kind grandma. Well, the clothes were basically large white robes but the robes were a hundred times better than their blood-filled clothes.
The boys went to a separate place to bathe and change their clothes. After they were clean the old grandma gave them warm food.
She was very kind but when she dragged Blane and asked him to be her adopted son everyone was dumbfounded. Her reason, she missed her grandson who hadn’t visited her for a while.
In the end, the old grandma’s husband intervened and stopped her in time, or else Blane would have gotten another mother.
All this while, Bia stayed quiet as Mia enveloped her in cloth secretly to hide her from the prying eyes but the thing she didn’t know was that Bia’s presence was discovered when she was trying her best to hide her.
The old elves didn’t think much about the small bird Mia was hiding desperately because they were unaware of many things happening outside the village. So how would they know anything that was happening in another Kingdom?
After two hours of struggle, Oliver finally managed to contact the Academy and returned with a smile. He glanced at the kids who were now looking fresh and well fed with a relieved sigh.
They stayed in the village until midnight when a loud sound resounded outside the village.
All the elves left their houses and glared at the three floating old men who appeared out of nowhere and disturbed their night.
Oliver cried out with joy when he saw the floating individuals. He dashed forward with a wide smile.
“Sir!”
Ratric, George, and Elder Elaze the three of them gazed at Oliver’s figure, and in an instant Ratric disappeared from his place and grabbed Oliver’s shoulder.
“How about the kids?”
Oliver was stunned for a second but he hurriedly told the Principal everything. Narrating all the things that happened after they disappeared from the Academy.
The elves present around them eyed them with frowns and one of them stepped forward to politely ask the intruder to leave their village.
Ratric was not angry instead he thanked them for taking care of the students. Oliver went inside and brought all the students outside.
After eyeing the students, George and Ratric finally sighed with relief but then a frown appeared on Ratric face.
“Where is Kyle?”
He said with a serious expression but Oliver’s body slumped when he heard Kyle’s name.
“He was the one who drew the Array but suddenly he just vanished. I don’t know the exact details.”
Ratric nodded but he silently looked at Geroge and Elaze and both of them disappeared to look around for Kyle.
After they left, Ratric looked at the kids standing behind Oliver. He nodded at the elves and took out a floating boat from his storage ring. There was no Teleportation Array in this village so it was better to float and find a nearby city with a Teleportation Array.
“We are leaving. Climb up.”
Ratric shouted and a stairway appeared in front of Oliver and the kids. They jumped at the boat one by one. Some of the kids waved at the old grandma who almost kidnapped Blane to make him her adopted son.
The boat started floating and disappeared into the sky. Bia silently gazed at the forest around the village. She could feel Kyle was alive but his presence was very dim almost like a thin thread. Also, unlike before she wasn’t able to sense his exact location. No matter how much she called out to Kyle in her mind he didn’t reply.
Her breath hitched for a second, she wanted to fly and look around for Kyle but when she recalled his last words she quietly stayed with Mia.
-‘Idiot, pick me up soon, or else I am going to beat you up!’
After traveling for a few hours, the ship landed in the elf’s capital. The Principal hurriedly found a Teleportation Array to avoid the many eyes looking at them with curiosity and they traveled back to Kingdom Escalante.
…..
Meanwhile, after the broach around Kyle’s chest shattered. A certain someone who was busy with some old foggies as they studied some ancient symbols suddenly jolted from his seat.
“What happened Han’s?”
An old man looked at Han with confusion but Han didn’t reply and hurriedly took out a familiar broach from his storage ring.
“What happened to that Kid?”
Han cursed because this broach was connected to the one he left for Kyle. If the broach was broken that means something bad happened to his disciple. He dashed forward to leave the place but was stopped by some old individuals.
“Han you can’t leave we are here to complete the task assigned by the King.”
Elder Han scoffed. He didn’t care about the so-called king’s order he was here to help because the Principal asked him to.
“I don’t care! I am leaving, go tell whoever you want!”
He shot a glare at the people blocking his path and without saying anything more left.
After leaving the area, he bought a communication device from a market because the one he had before was taken away after he arrived in the Central Continent.
With an anxious expression, he called Ratric but the latter didn’t pick up his call. Then he called George but after getting no
response he angrily threw the communication device away.
“What the heck are they doing?”
After cursing, he took out a small plaque from his storage ring. He looked at the plaque and used his mana to sense the other plaque that he gave to Kyle.
After observing the other plaque’s location for a while, he cursed again.
“Damn it! why is he so far from the Kingdom?”
