Puzzled, trying to figure out what makes sense and what not for the past ten minutes, Woldemir found it appropriate to ask now. "I have a question. How... just how did you end up getting lost in the woods and miss two hundred years of war?"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtSf7QUxR7
The color on Mogranius' face turned rather pale as Woldemir seeked a deeper explanation of this predicament. But yet he found the nerve to answer. "I was with Akareas, the previous Electus. We were researching more about the most unknown power to any Wizard or Witch, the mysterious powers of Teleportation."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlicQUtmEeq
These powers ring a bell, but just to be sure Woldemir asked. "Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I've been told, teleportation is where you disappear into thin air and appear somewhere else."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1wghOFoAz
Nodding in agreement as he thought through some other points, Mogranius clumsily replied. "Yes yes, you've heard."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOVjoaHjcE
"How does it equal to you skipping two hundred years?" Scratching his head, Woldemir couldn't comprehend this theory.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTI9hIv5pV
What Mogranius is basically referring to is teleportation and above that, he is talking about Time Travel as well. Teleportation is a blur to most, explained as a fairy tale but considered as a magical power that every Electus should have. While Time Travel isn't even one of the 8 powers. The theory keeps getting crazier by the second.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswXoX1hZXT
Thankfully Mogranius is willing to shed more light through this mountain of confusing darkness. "See, before I found myself in these woods, we were tipped off by an adventurer that a book about teleportation is deep down an underground dungeon."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1czhyb7BN
Instantly seeing this as a bad start, Woldemir couldn't help asking. "And you believed him? Adventurers are full of malarkey, they robbed so many rich men for elixirs that apparently grant immortality."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DvtcVJzWe
Shouting his sentences, his neck hair up thanks to recalling the scene, Mogranius butchered. "Oh an Adventurer tricking us became the least of our concern, although he didn't lie about the book!"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FyNNjY2ql
"So I'm assuming something went wrong?" Asked Woldemir, he figured out a bit where this is going.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA80xlZznd
"It did!" He yelled again and continued. "Right after we found the book, managing to read a few pages of it too. But the dungeon was abandoned a couple of centuries ago, it didn't take long for a disaster to follow."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbeFUATsYW
His attention given entirely towards the storyteller, Woldemir asked with his eyes wide open. "What happened?"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4cGgSAbnk
"Out of nowhere, part of the dungeon collapsed." Mogranius shouted once more and raised his arms towards the sky to add a little drama.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXIIlk0hGV
"So that's how you got here? Did the dungeon kill you or...?" Asked Woldemir while still having it hard to put two and two together.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5jfi0CAlO
Time Travel doesn't link here and he is getting convinced that Mogranius is a ghost, well Chapels would describe anything unusual as demonic or paranormal so why not aye?
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JvX5KoG0G
A bit pissed, Mogranius added. "You would have known if you stopped interrupting my story!"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fk8RIWANg
"But I didn't..." Woldemir tried to speak but got interrupted, ironic ha?
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIu8TgPnjS
Becoming a bit of a drama queen, Mogranius explained. "I was exactly at the area where the dungeon collapsed. A second before large boulders and dirt were about to crush the soul out of me, Akareas casted a teleportation spell on me. That might explain how I got here."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw95Ohp80b
Now continuing to be confused, but also shocked, Woldemir pointed out a little fact. "But didn't you say that she didn't know anything about Teleportation Powers?"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81mEqWQrM0
"That could be the reason why I am here now, that's my best theory. I don't know what else to think." The situation is complex, it is a drag when you put an all powerful Electus behind an unknown spell.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL21OVM1UA
Since books became the topic again, Woldemir pitched. "My best advice would be to look for that special book in the Crutal Castle, maybe Akareas took it with her since she clearly survived that Dungeon collapse."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CAA6TMjGK
His eyes sparkling with hope, Mogranius looked at Woldemir as if he fell in love and expressed. "And with Eric as the Electus, surely I can teleport back in time somehow?"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuykY13Yxr
"It is settled then, we will try to find that book." Woldemir smiled, but wanted to end that topic as well. He pointed forward and said, "Look where we have arrived!"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P8nXDHhJj
The second Mogranius looks forward, he sees the big and beautiful Crutal Town after hours and hours of travelling, they even had to stop and set up camp last night for the sake of not collapsing.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ES6xDqXs
His mouth remains open for a little while, he is amazed to see his home again and we can't deprive you of the fact that Crutal Town is majestically beautiful.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22O1fvyg8D
There are roots of plants spreading out everywhere, each stretching several meters through thick stone walls and colorful flowers blooming on those roots as well.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBuM5hWJBg
The Town is large itself as well, from one end to the other it surely held around five hundred houses. Most of the houses weren't exactly small either, it is indeed the wealthiest Town in [Country] Occidentis Ignis.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsQFYXtos6
A tear dropping from his left eye, surfing down his cheek before it met the ground, Mogranius stuttered. "So much has changed, yet it changed in a good way. This place looks more beautiful than ever."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9vjk5Xn3j
Accidentally ruining his moment with the Town, Woldemir agreed. "I agree it is beautiful, this race has a fancy about decorating buildings or anything in general with plants. Most likely supported from the money that they force out of our race though."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhjKcrRHKV
Mogranius isn't in the best emotional position to talk, so Woldemir used this opportunity to get some things straight. "From this point, you have to be careful of what you say and do. The illustratios have a thing about throwing fines over Ignites for ridiculous reasons."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkvoDBWFt3
Raising an eyebrow, curiosity overwhelming. Mogranius asked, "What sort of reasons?"
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBcd5QtDsM
Trying to define stupidity, Woldemir shared a little case of his own. "Last summer I got fined for reading a book that wasn't about the illustratio, the finnes are outrageous as well."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbhmksrn0g
"I knew illustratios weren't particularly bright, but this tips the bucket." You can't blame the old man here, who in their right mind would fine you for reading a book?
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAT1IS9JCr
"They are more brutal than they are stupid, If you can't pay the fines they'll throw you in the dungeon and beat you until your back is softer than your stomach." Woldemir lifted part of his shirt from behind, showing the scars that didn't disappear for over a year.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESGu8qcD5R
As they approached Crutal Town closer and they reached the main gate, they immediately got approached by a couple of illustratio gatekeepers.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA2p4WZgkX
Truly devilish looking characters, not literally though. Their skin color doesn't look like a typical stereotyped devil.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXheU9JBZRQ
Their skin color is green and one other eye catching feature are their blood veins. From head to toe their veins are covered with a darker shade of green and a light dark shade of red as well here and there.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiyLVZ3L4G
But most of the blood vein color running through their body is green.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBi4xg2OmT
Their eyes are the most devil like part about them, they have these freakish completely red eyes! Difficult to look at without getting uncomfortable especially if one is yelling at you.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk949P83Hq
These gatekeepers have fairly long hair too, much like every other race in these medieval times but theirs is green in colour. These body features however weren't nearly enough devil like compared to their tongue and behaviour.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUug8AUHZ4
As soon as the Gatekeepers approached the Wagon, one of them pulls out a longsword and turned towards Mogranius, shouting. "State your business here you diseased devilish Ignite or my sword will be meeting your neck."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0p8ISEwnM
Before Mogranius utters a single word, Woldemir jumps in the conversation and shouts. "Do not hurt him, he is my cousin. He comes from the other side of our Country [Occidentis Ignis]."
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8HlNKxGJO
The other gate keeper replies with, "Oh so basically he is a worthless rag from Gaster Town?"
