Chapter 1637 - 1125: "Albion
On this journey to Edinburgh, Reiger was accompanying as the strongest fighter to ensure success.
Because, in order to safeguard Londinium and prevent it from descending into a leaderless state, Pasival would stay behind in Londinium and not accompany them.
"I also need to maintain communication with the Wind, Earth, and Wing Clans, striving to get their assistance before the war begins, or at least gather enough intelligence, so only you can go."
After dropping this statement, Alberon disappeared without a trace.
"I, I will also stay behind to assist Mr. Pasival as his lieutenant and learn from him!"
Gareth expressed the same sentiment, deciding to remain in Londinium to do what she could.
To this young girl, she still considered herself immature, and likely the weakest fighter among them. With the war approaching, she wanted to seize every chance to learn combat skills to avoid dragging everyone down later.
Moreover, Gareth was also quite concerned about Londinium’s safety. With someone like Pasival, who shares her weapon of choice, it would be better to stay and improve herself rather than accompany Reiger and the others.
Thus, the people setting out on this journey included Reiger, Altoria, Habettelot, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Matthew, and Da Vinci, making a party of six.
If Reiger didn’t go, relying solely on Altoria and the others and rashly venturing into the territory of the King Clan might lead to trouble.
The King Clan, after all, was a force that had resisted the Queen’s army for years without being extinguished, comparable to the Tusk Clan; they never hid their ambitions and openly wanted to replace Morgan as the ruler.
In such circumstances, if Altoria were to visit them as the Prophesied Child, it might very well be seen as a declaration of war.
After all, according to the Mirror Clan’s prophecy, Altoria was the one destined to overthrow the queen and become Britain’s next new king.
To the King Clan, who aspired to rule themselves, Altoria as the Prophesied Child might be seen as an eyesore, a competitor, or even an enemy.
To be on the safe side, it was necessary for Reiger to accompany them.
Although Reiger didn’t think they would do anything drastic, since Altoria was an old acquaintance of theirs, even just for saving travel time, Reiger had to go.
So, Reiger opened a [Portal] to the northernmost side of Camelot, transporting the group along with the eight-legged horse carriage to the closest place to northern Britain he had been before. He then cast flying magic on the eight-legged horse and used levitation magic to negate the carriage’s weight.
Just like that, a flying carriage was born.
"If we had such a carriage before, I bet the journey would have been much less troublesome?"
Inside the carriage, looking out the window, Habettelot said this with a hint of sentiment, responding to some mood.
"I, I’m also riding a flying carriage for the first time." Matthew’s cheeks flushed slightly, speaking with a hint of excitement: "It’s like entering a fairy tale world."
"Do you feel like a princess?" Da Vinci teased, "This is wonderful, Matthew, you should experience more of these beautiful things. It’s what you should be going through at your age."
"I’m not surprised at all." Altoria, sitting beside Reiger, glanced at him with calm eyes, saying: "No matter what you do, I won’t be surprised."
This was spoken by someone who, after countless times, had teamed up with Reigera to tackle heart-stopping challenges and had witnessed Reiger suddenly unleashing strange powers.
"You should be grateful I have this ability." Reiger said nonchalantly, tugging Altoria’s ear, "Otherwise, even without considering other miscellaneous factors, just traveling would waste a lot of time."
"Indeed." Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head, smiling: "In that case, we should reach Edinburgh very soon, right?"
"Even faster than you think." Da Vinci, after fiddling with something that looked like a tablet, stated, "After all, we are on a direct path, overcoming terrain barriers and heading straight to Edinburgh."
Currently, the carriage pulled by the eight-legged horse had set off northward from Camelot, just having crossed the mountains and entered northern Britain.
Without this flying eight-legged horse carriage, even if Reiger opened the [Portal] to the north of Camelot, they would still have to go to Gloucester, then Manchester, and only then enter the northern plains to head to Edinburgh.
And Gloucester is on the other side of the mountains, meaning they would have to follow the mountain ridge to the west of Britain and depart from there.
Now, with the flying carriage, there was no need to go to Gloucester or Manchester. They could directly cross the mountains into northern Britain and head straight to Edinburgh.
"We should arrive before the sun sets." Da Vinci closed the tablet, displaying a relieved smile, saying: "For us, who need to race against time, this journey is truly a life-saver."
