My travel in the lower world began with ten days of journey to Israfan, a country known as the country of merchants, it was four and half years since I met my parents, I found the Agni familia as it was considerably famous as it was a top familia with two level four as their head. My parents were very happy to meet me as I was to meet them, I stayed with my parents for a week, we discussed many topics including our profession, they were happy to know about my fame in Orario.
For my travels, I had made a lot of preparations, with complete maps that I bought from the guild for a very high price, and had prepared packaged dry food for emergencies when I couldn't find food. My next target was Wishe Forest where there is an elven village with less hostility toward humans, and also it was along the path toward Altena which was my primary goal.
According to the map, it would take about a month for me as I used void transfer skill to fasten my journey, I could teleport about two kilometers at once consuming mind energy. The news about the elves being different was indeed true as I found many merchant caravans of humans were allowed to stop in the village to take a rest, as I went to the gate of the village I told the guard of my intentions to meet the chief of the village before the guard could refuse I showed him a badge with a tree as a symbol in it, the badge was given to me by my grandfather which signified that the holder of the badge was considered a friend by the elven royals. The guard was shocked for a moment and then hurridly led me to the chief's house, the village was very beautiful with a huge tree at the center of the village, it had a very huge trunk and branches, the houses were mostly made of wood and I could also see some tree houses.
Elven Chief's House__
The chief was an elven man, he had orange hair and green colored eyes, and he had a handsome face typical of elves. I introduced myself with my grandfather as a connection to the elves. " Chief Selanar, I am traveling to Altena to further my study on magic, I stopped by this village because I from the guild information came to know that elves in this village were very friendly and I wanted to improve my knowledge, so I would like to stay and learn in your library and also ask for an opportunity to make items from the branches of the holy tree, in return I can make two magic items for free or a magic wand made from the holy tree itself, not to brag but I am well known in Orario for my magic item-making ability, as I come only seeking knowledge and hope you don't take my requests as rude," I said informing the elven chief of my intentions.
He didn't seem to get angry but instead smiled at my careful thoughts, he told me about his ancestor Wishe, who had traveled the lower world extensively and also had friends of many races. I was happy as I knew that he would be agreeing to my request.
I stayed with the elves of Wishe Forest for a year, like a sponge I absorbed everything in their library and also learned some interesting potion-making and wand-making skills, especially the procedures to process the branch of the holy tree, before leaving the forest I successfully created a first-class wand that could amplify elven magic and also reduced mind consumption, it could also reduce chances of Ignis Fatuus as magic control was very smooth using the wand, I used some of my own materials that I had filled my huge backpack to finish the wand, I left the wand with the elves but as thanks the elves gave me a big branch that had fallen from the holy tree during my stay, as the elves believed that it was the intentions of the holy tree. I benefited a lot from my stay as I found some ancient books on magic circles and potions in the library.
After my year-long stay, I finally continued my journey towards Altena the country known for its magic research. In all my journey I would always choose to go out of the main road to see if I could find monsters to fight and increase my excelia, in my two-month-long journey to Altena I found some monster groups and also a monster group that had many level fours and a level five Bloodsaurus as boss. In my travels, I have never slacked my training in spear and magic skills, I made an adequate amount of time to sharpen my skills with mental image training, imagining sparing partner.
