After finishing everything we had to do in the first town we go back to the Dungeon, I leave a big caravan carriage with the people of the village and tell them to change it to a simpler look, that's because the carriage is very flashy.
After that I left Rakan with the crystal I sinned, he can use it in his magic studies or put it to better use.
I meet with Ivan, Elsaris, Vanessa, Nira, Érica, and Diana to discuss which route to take to the next town.
"We won't be able to go by the river this time and by the sky, it's still a no as we don't want to be noticed." (I)
"If it was a straight road we could get to the next town in less than five days, but if we go down the road it will take us a week and a half." (Diana)
"If it takes too long for the next attack, the enemy can take precautions, so we'd better make the next two attacks as soon as possible." (Ivan)
"What do you think if we go straight across the mountain on foot?" (Nira)
"There may be some monsters, but in this region, they won't be strong enough to fight us." (Diana)
"Then we can forget about the road and go straight up the mountain." (Nira)
"So if we count on the rest time we're going to have, it could take up to six days, right?" (I)
"I think so." (Ivan)
"Why don't Nix and my father take turns so we can continue our journey faster." (Vanessa)
"This idea is promising, with your speed we can get there in 3 or 4 days." (Elsaris)
"So it's decided, let's do it." (I)
"From the information we have, it will be easier to attack him there, that's because the enemy numbers there are smaller." (I)
"The problem is the mess we're making by destroying the magic circle, have you seen the chaos in the city we just left behind?" (Elsaris)
"They were just frightened by an unexpected event, but soon those who could see Spirits or Fairies will tell what they saw." (I)
"Fairies are known to be playful, they might take this as a bad joke by the Fairies." (Ivan)
"Once they've calmed down, they might as well forget the streets have disappeared, but the destruction of the city's sewers is not something that will be easy or quick to solve." (Érica)
"That's still better than someone activating that thing, that would be dooming the entire city while unleashing an enemy we couldn't defeat." (I)
"Forget about the mess we're creating, this might even be a good thing since it's going to draw even more attention from other Realms here, and besides, nobody knows about us." (I)
"The Black Market knows." (Elsaris)
"They don't count, they won't spread our information, in fact, they will help hide our information and any clues we leave behind." (Ivan)
"To be honest, not even the Black Market should know how many we are or how we're doing it." (Elsaris)
"They must know that we are responsible for what happened in this city, but that's why we warned them that we were going to attack the Makari Kingdom." (Elsaris)
"It doesn't matter, they won't say anything." (I)
"The important thing is that everyone needs to make their preparations." (I)
"What are you worried about, master?" (Diana)
"From the information, we have from Prince Henry's interrogation, all strong enemies are in the capital, but this is information he had before he went to the Moros Kingdom." (I)
"I see, you're worried that the plan to attack the other two cities before heading to the capital will be affected if a strong enemy is present." (Érica)
"Yes, we can find strong enemies in the next or last city, we can also be discovered by enemies if they receive information about what happens in that city sooner than we expected." (I)
We have to be careful, one thing I didn't expect was the location of the magic control center underground, if any of the enemies had gone there and activated the magic circle we could all have died.
"Unexpected situations happen, we could have died if someone had noticed our simultaneous attack and activated the city's magic circle." (I)
"Vanessa, can you cancel this spell if it activates?" (I)
"No, this technique has some restrictions, normally it is only possible to cancel the magic of those of the same level of strength or weaker." (Vanessa)
"I can bypass this restriction and cancel spells more powerful than myself because of holy power." (Vanessa)
"But that still has a limit, the magic of such a scale is impossible for me." (Vanessa)
"But in the secret room in the underground of the city where the magic control center was, you managed to disable the magic." (I)
"That was different, that's a crucial point of magic, so it's more vulnerable, but even then I was only able to do that because the magic wasn't active, if someone had activated that, then I couldn't stop it." (Vanessa)
"…" (I)
Looks like the risk was higher than I expected today, in the next city we need to make an underground attack as well.
"Thanks to Leonardo we now know where these rooms with the magic control circle are, they will always be in the city center underground, the way to get to these rooms must also be the same using the sewers." (I)
"To attack this place I will send Vanessa, Rakan, and Elsaris." (I)
"A good decision, with the three of us we should be able to deal with the enemy and the magic circle of control." (Elsaris)
"Let's try to learn more about this magic circle of central control, if we know more it will be easier to deal with when the time comes." (I)
"Others start training if they don't have any preparation to do." (I)
After this brief meeting, we decided how we were going to go to the next city and what we would need to improve on our plans.
We're not leaving until the next morning so I tried to spend some time with the lizardman, they were all more servile than Jade, every time they're close to me they kneel down, when I asked Barok about it he said it's an instinct within them that makes them want to serve me and Nix.
When I went to talk to Nix about this she said that all kinds of races associated with Dragons are this close to True Dragons, she said that even though my bloodline has not fully awakened it is still marked in my Aura, furthermore my Aura has a strong presence of governance, all of which add up only makes them more servile around me.
After that, I went to see how Leonardo was doing, but I discovered that he is in the kitchen being held by the neck by an angry Leo, when I was about to interfere I see Caryna put herself between them to try to push them away, but instead she threw them both against the walls in opposite directions.
Leonardo had passed out again and Leo was getting up with difficulty, Caryna started crying when she saw that she hurt them both unintentionally, because of that Leo and I took some time to calm her down again while Alice took the unconscious Leonardo to an empty room.
During the afternoon I went to the lake to refresh my head which was mired with problems and worries, at the lake I find the Guardian with her beautiful red hair bathing in the lake.
As soon as she sees me she comes out of the water without showing the slightest bit of shame while her wonderful body is in view, but after she leaves the water green and red leaves grow from her body creating a dress of leaves.
"Did you like what you saw?" (Guardian)
"Yes, but you shouldn't expose yourself so much in a place like this." (I)
"None of the people in the village dare come here to try anything on me, that's been true since I was a Dryad." (Guardian)
"Why that?" (I)
"My stamina for sexual acts is limitless, this is a trait that Dryads and some other races possess." (Guardian)
"I'm not a pervert, but a Dryad's instincts were hard to control when it started, this trait didn't change just because I became a Holy Beast." (Guardian)
"Then I'll follow the example of the others and leave, I already have a lot to deal with just the four that are in the mansion." (I)
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I just like to see people look when they look at me, looks like you did before." (Guardian)
"You are a tease." (I)
"Every woman likes to feel wanted." (Guardian)
I spent some time with the Guardian of the village, after she got tired of teasing me she talked about the things I've been doing, she seemed very worried about the Dragons of Destruction.
She also talked to me about wanting to tell me something after she is done with this matter, it seems like she wants to ask me something.
After I talked to the Guardian I went to the mansion where I found Leonardo shaking hands with Leo, with a conversation with them I discovered that Leonardo hugged Caryna due to the happiness of eating delicious food after so long, Leo got jealous which led to the scene I saw earlier, but now Leonardo explained everything to Leo to show he had no interest in Caryna.
It looks like Leonardo was gay, but that's not my problem, but I think I should warn him about how aggressive the women in this Dungeon are before he gets into trouble.
