Aurdis looked at all the Aarakocra lying around her. Among them, only one wears a bracelet one.
Aurdis concluded that he was the leader of this group.
Aurdis jumped down from Star's back. Then approached the Kliuel.
She released the grip on his neck and the Aarakocra immediately took a deep breath.
"(You have to say it now. Your time is up,)" Aurdis said coldly.
It's true, she had already spent too much time here.
"(I got it from the Shaman,)" Kliuel said under his breath.
He clutched his neck and looked at Aurdis with his vengeful bird eyes.
Aurdis looked like she is thinking. 'Has anyone spread our Magic?'
The bracelet worn by the leader of Aarakocra was one of Elf's belongings.
The symbol on the Magic circle he used also came from an Elf, with a slight difference.
But how did their Magic get into the hands of the Aarakocra?
"(How did your Shaman get that?)" Aurdis asked while pointing at the bracelet Kliuel was wearing.
"(I... Don't know about that,)" Kliuel replied.
Aurdis looked at him sharply. "(Don't even think about lying to me.)"
Receiving a gaze from Aurdis, Kliuel seemed to feel that the ice that had confined him had pierced through to his heart.
"(He said, this is an artifact given by our God,)" Kliuel said.
"(What is your God look like?)" Aurdis asked.
Then, as if Aurdis had just touched a very sensitive part, Kliuel's eyes widened in anger.
Not only Kliuel, but all of the Aarakocra also widened their eyes furiously at Aurdis.
"(You dare disrespect our God?!)" Kliuel said in a high-pitched voice. He also let out a cruel snarl.
Aurdis just sighed. "(I'm just asking. How can you say I'm disrespecting your God?)"
"(Asking for our God form is a form of disrespect! He is a being too great for you to even think about!)" Kliuel still said in a tone full of rage.
"(Oh, is that so? I'm sorry,)" Aurdis said. "(But I really need to know.)"
Kliuel was still staring at Aurdis with his angry bird eyes.
He tried to move his body to grab Aurdis and plunge his talons into her neck. But the ice that froze his body didn't let him do anything but stare.
In the end, Kliuel sighed in resignation.
"(No one knows what our God looks like,)" Kliuel said.
'He must have just gotten the bracelet without knowing where it came from. I don't think I'll get anything from them.' Aurdis thought.
"(Who else has the bracelet?)" Aurdis asked.
"(The leaders of the other groups also have it,)" Kliuel said.
"(How many groups are there?)"
"(Including us, there are ten groups.)"
Knowing that he couldn't do anything, Kliuel decided not to try to fight back anymore.
Because he knows it's useless. He had already seen how this 'human' did Magic.
Kliuel knew that if he messed up, the lives of his other brothers could be in danger.
So Kliuel chooses to be obedient.
Aurdis felt that she could not get anything else here. Also, she had wasted precious time.
These Aarakocra are just slaves of what is really going on behind them.
No matter how hard Aurdis interrogated them, they wouldn't be able to say anything useful.
Aurdis stood up and climbed back onto Star's back.
"(The ice on your body will melt after three hours.)"
After saying that, Aurdis spurred Star again. Star ran through the river and then quickly disappeared from their sight.
Kliuel and his Aarakocra group heaved a sigh of relief. They immediately thought about how the other groups were doing.
Did they experience the same difficulties as them?
But among them, Kliuel was instead staring at the bracelet he was wearing. Why did the 'human' ask about this bracelet?
Kliuel knew that this bracelet did indeed possess immense power.
But he only knew that this bracelet was given by their God to avenge their brothers who had been horribly murdered.
Kliuel immediately had a strange feeling. He suddenly thought that something strange is going on.
Aurdis spurred Star hard. The sun's rays had returned through several gaps in the clouds above. But the atmosphere still looked gloomy to Aurdis.
She had wasted a lot of time on the Aarakocras. And she also gets something new which is quite troubling.
Aurdis thought back to the symbol in the Magic circle she saw earlier.
That symbol was indeed the Magic symbol belonging to the Elves. But there is a slight difference in it.
If she remembered correctly, it was probably the symbol of the Forest Elves.
But, Aurdis could not be so sure. It had been a long time since she had seen the Magic of Forest Elf.
Aurdis shook her head in frustration. 'Ah, all that will be answered once I get to Dawnwood!'
With that in mind, Aurdis spurred Star even harder. Aurdis didn't even know that Star could run even faster than this.
She just hoped that Star would run faster and it turns out that wish was conveyed to the stallion.
The view of the mountains covered in fog came into view ahead. Aurdis gritted her teeth anxiously.
Hopefully, nothing troublesome happens there.
Aurdis began to regret that she rarely left the palace. The protective walls of the palace always surrounded her. Covering Aurdis' view of the outside world.
She only knew the path to Dawnwood from her memories when she visited Dawnwood as a child.
However, at that time she was with his father and under strict guard. Now she has to do it herself.
This is the time for a princess who is always surrounded by the comfort and protection of the palace, must feel the harshness of the wild.
Aurdis arrived in the Grayfog Mountains region. She got off Star's back. Then lead the stallion up the steep and slippery road.
The air here is very cold. The gray fog that overshadowed this place blocked the sun's rays to reach the ground. The fog also limits her view.
Everything about this place makes Audis shudder in a chill. She didn't know what was lurking behind this gray fog. And that makes things worse.
