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?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizeT7SAQTS
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwchRzvX7oQ
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwkak9Qnb0
Nodding in agreement as he thought through some other points, Mogranius clumsily replied. "Yes yes, you've heard."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7fu2kr8HC
"How does it equal to you skipping two hundred years?" Scratching his head, Woldemir couldn't comprehend this theory.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTJMIvTUci
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb2jeTuBp3
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Dvn5f7kQ
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyHNQbUXys
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!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1IBh78byz
"So I'm assuming something went wrong?" Asked Woldemir, he figured out a bit where this is going.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD66DQMjyxP
"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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCorNXPj1zD
His attention given entirely towards the storyteller, Woldemir asked with his eyes wide open. "What happened?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1am7VyfSk
"Out of nowhere, part of the dungeon collapsed." Mogranius shouted once more and raised his arms towards the sky to add a little drama.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwjSVBb4kB
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7J1aHJT1y
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?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8iLz9uaYn
A bit pissed, Mogranius added. "You would have known if you stopped interrupting my story!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9O2AF2mXM
"But I didn't..." Woldemir tried to speak but got interrupted, ironic ha?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZrw1zVpns
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mhocgq0Ui
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?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIRz69Uuhl
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpr6PWTlV9
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrPslEZ2J0
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?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLJOHwEWdq
"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!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu92WtUwOZ
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIPX60ibPc
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Z0mZZmYR
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqCPp2gbum
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0lH1jJDjr
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF5tYfILPd
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDteFf82rV
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimbDT3I6b6
Raising an eyebrow, curiosity overwhelming. Mogranius asked, "What sort of reasons?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvpZDG4rGc
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzXjjWCWhF
"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?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSiKzvARij
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC3ruD6ZQT
As they approached Crutal Town closer and they reached the main gate, they immediately got approached by a couple of illustratio gatekeepers.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy4RAjUuHy
Truly devilish looking characters, not literally though. Their skin color doesn't look like a typical stereotyped devil.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sFKEzfMb0
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBXXJBWI2J
But most of the blood vein color running through their body is green.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowIrrF3C3F
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2RQIVuvJB
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ0Mtt81oH
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmvfvVZDYL
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]."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlrdXv3inC
The other gate keeper replies with, "Oh so basically he is a worthless rag from Gaster Town?"
