Chapter 153 A fast pass
"If you are going to Kalp, I can give you a little ride."
She shouted at him for three hours straight.
Even Miss Rin came back from her little visit to the knight association and was surprised by this scene.
"What do you mean by that? You will use a teleportation spell just for us? Really?"
Rin knew the librarian was above (Level-200) easily even though she did not know the exact level.
He was able to defeat legions of Dark mages in the wars against the dark forces, so it was a given that he was at least powerful enough to be on the same level as a high noble of this country.
And yet, he was being yelled by some simple girl that did not even have a third of his powers.
And, the more surprising thing was how he was just sitting there, listening to shouting, curses, and the comments of A girl.
"Why would I waste a teleportation spell for such a short distance? That would be a waste of my precious energy, dear great Lady."
She was finally done shouting at him, and Misha had also woken up after their little commotion a while back.
"Don't call me that. It's simply Miss Alex now. Nothing more."
Misha was happy that they were back, but since she could tell the adults were talking about something important, she didn't disturb them and went to Elio and Alex's room to play with Miu, Az, and Sera.
She had a lot of things to tell them, and also a lot of things to know from them.
"Right… apologies, Lady Alex."
"…"
Alex didn't really like being called a 'Lady' since she knew she was nothing like those elegant women that were actually Lady-like.
"Ahem, anyway…"
The Librarian could tell she did not like being called a Lady either. But he couldn't address her casually anymore.
Not after he found out how she was the one that killed that high level mage… not after finding out about that white sword.
"We can fly to the Kalp. I can use an express route."
He had already told them all about the commotion in Moongold.
The investigation, the commotion, the anxiety in the air… he told them all about those things and, it was surprising.
They were stunned how just one death could cause such a commotion, but after hearing how he had already dealt with those issues, they weren't worried about anything.
He was good with his work, handling a library as large as that one was not a simple task.
"The express route? Damn, really?"
Using teleportation spells would be easy for someone like him.
He was not a simple human. He had lived for more than a century.
He was also powerful. Using a teleportation spell was not that hard.
But he wasn't going to do it.
Casting a (tier-7) spell was a little too much when they just had to cross a distance they can cross in 3 days.
It wasn't too much, they didn't have to use a spell of that level for such short distances.
"I'm going south to pick up a package anyway. I don't mind dropping you off at Kalp… besides, I think the kids will love the view from the sky."
An express route was a flight route that was created especially for the high speed travels of special individuals.
Mages, knights of high enough rank, those who had wings, those who had flying mounts, and the royalty. It was a special privilege few could use…
She didn't think he would go out of his way and use that air route just to help them get to Cromwell's city.
"Is this your way to apologize or something? Or is this a bribe to my babies?" Alex was suspicious of him.
There was something fishy about him.
He was acting somewhat differently since earlier. She couldn't tell what he was hiding but there was definitely something he had not told them.
From what the Two of them could tell from his occasional glance at the white sword, both of them were also wondering if he had found out something about it.
"Oh, no no. I'm just suggesting it would be better this way. The horses you had must have suffered significant trauma as well… they might not be able to handle the bandit ridden hilly path."
It wouldn't be surprising if he did know something about it, but they knew there wouldn't be much that he would know about it.
Not even Alex knew much about this sword in the first place, and Elio also only knew about the few powers this sword gave her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"We can just take a shortcut, you know? I was going to avoid the mountain bandits for now anyway… but then again, your offer is pretty good too."
She gave it a thought.
Flying through the sky, watching the little things below, cutting off their travel time to only a few hours… It was a great offer.
"El?"
"I'm uncertain, but I think They will be happy about this so I don't mind."
Elio wanted to experience what this Fast pass flight felt like as well. But he wasn't sure about the librarian's intentions anymore.
Not after seeing how he was glancing at Alex's white sword while trying to make it seem natural.
He was hiding something.
But whatever it might be, he did not feel it was anything malicious.
"Miss Rin?"
"Oh I don't mind, dear. It's fine. I'm fine with anything you want.
You're the boss~."
Miss Rin seemed to be in a good mood for some reason. And she trusted the Librarian.
He might have been absent for a moment which resulted in what happened with them and that mage, but he wouldn't have foreseen it either.
He had stayed here to tell them everything because he believed he was at fault as well.
But he made up for his mistake, and she did not resent him for whatever he might have been busy with.
"Hmm… well, Connie."
Alex knew the children would like that as well. And, she knew this bastard didn't have the balls to do anything to them anyway.
The precious little Things he cared about the most would die if he did anything to her, which he wouldn't as he had seen her brutality, but then again, she did not have the power that she used to.
If he tries to act up once again, she wouldn't be able to hold back at only a few fatal injuries…
She didn't want to spill unnecessary blood once again.
"We'll take you up on that offer. Let's depart at dawn."
They were done with all they needed to do anyway. If they reach the city before her schedule, they can spend an entire day looking for Misha's Bird.
"Sure then."
This was good…
In fact, this is Perfect.
