After Lucifer finally evolved, we went to take a trip into the skies and we found this one strange floating island, which I think might have a dungeon based in how much mana it emanated.
Aside from that, we moved down, and we pretended we were not doing anything weird to the two girls. They're also super sharp so they immediately realized that Lucifer had evolved.
But that was fine, he came out with a nice excuse and that was more than enough to make them believe our small white lie for the moment. After that, we moved to have breakfast, and after that, we were more than ready to travel to the nearby town which is actually one of the two duchies that the Kingdom of Iceland has.
The Kingdom of Iceland is one of those hard working and surviving kingdoms that has somehow adapted to these frozen lands for generations, and they're probably just as cold and harsh as the lands they live in, but even though they might be in my mind, they also seem to be gentle and open-minded (or maybe just desperate to survive) to the point they would do negotiations with ice giant tribes and even the dwarf nation.
They're obviously a human nation, and they don't shy away from admitting being humans even though they're surrounded by demi-humans at every corner of these frozen lands, they're hardy survivors so I am excited to see what they are like.
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 Aside from that, our main mission is buying as many provisions as we can, I believe it is a big enough place that they sell food and other stuff, right? So we'll buy as much as food as we can, and a lot of other materials if we can find them, which Darfu has already made a list of and wrote them down in a paper for me to remember.
We also… obviously, are going there because we need beer, so we are going to buy all the beer types we can find and bring them here for these two very special friends we got here, these two idiots of the dwarves that won't work unless they're given beer.
They better be worth the annoyance and pain in the ass! I really hope they make the best freaking things after we give them beer! Or I am really going to lose my patience by then and I might not respond if I go a bit out of my own control with my rage.
We decided to go atop of Lucifer, after evolving and filling his belly, he was very energetic, mostly due to being alive now, and he really wanted to fly some more and feel the breeze on his face, so we decided to hop over his back and let ourselves be carried by him.
We were going to go with the main party, Emeraldine, Partner, and me. And of course, Kuro and Raven are coming with me too, those are like my pets, so I cannot miss bringing them with me, they're my undead familiars at this point. Meanwhile, I am leaving Pyro to command the other undead spiders and protect the town from any nasty monster that might attempt to make a quick meal out of my people, and if that's not enough, there is also Catarina, the twin fire ghosts, and the other warriors.
Naturally, there are also many of my snake ghost clones everywhere, so they will take care of stuff and let me see through their eyes, if anything too urgent happens, I will be the first one to know it! They're like cameras directly connected to my mind.
With that said, everything was mostly ready, and the only thing we had left to do is depart! Thanks to Lucifer's speed, it shouldn't take that long to get there, so we'll go there, spend the night there, and then come back tomorrow morning, that's the plan.
"Alright, we are off!" I said. "Take care, see you tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, take care…" said the Goblin Elder.
"We'll protect the place while you're out." Said the Goblin Chief.
"Have a good trip, Auntie!" said Gofumin.
"Please bring me some sweets!" said Laura.
"Sister stop being so spoiled!" said Takeshi.
"Leave the rest to us." Said Syllis.
"Yeah! My brother is very capable." Said Bellerine.please visit
"Maria-sama! Please, make sure to bring the things I put on the notes! And if they are not available, at least make sure to bring some sort of equivalent to it!" said Darfu. "Make sure to not forget this!"
"Okay! I get it! Don't worry, Darfu!" I said.
Emeraldine and Partner waved their hands as we sat over Lucifer's back, I used my dark thread to wrap us tightly around him without making the threads sharp, so they were all secure and not dangerous.
"Then… we shall depart!
Lucifer's wings flapped rapidly as we were high into the skies in an instant.
"I know where this duchy is, I saw it before, so I am going there directly at a high speed, hold tight!" said Lucifer.
"On it, boss!" I said.
"W-Wait! Lucifer, I still don't get used to this so you could be a bit-"
And without listening to Emeraldine, Lucifer's wings once more began to flap at an incredible speed, we were moving almost through supersonic speed, it felt as if we were in a literal jet from Earth!
The wind itself resonated as we pierced it through loudly! Emeraldine and Partner were surprised, but Emeraldine was the one screaming.
"Uwaaaaaaaaahhhh…! UUhggh… My stomach hurts! Aaagh!"
The clumsy elf began to get dizzier and dizzier, until I had to calm her down by possessing her body and turning off her mind for a bit.
She fell into my arms while sleeping, as we moved through the sky.
And I just five minutes of crossing the icy clouds, we reached the area of the duchy we wanted to visit! That was awfully fast!
"We are here… This duchy is…"
