Chapter 69 - Norn and Ruigerd

The Kingdom of Biheiril was on the eastern edge of the northernmost region of the Central Continent, surrounded by mountains, oceans, and forests is only a minor nation, but it still had three great cities.

The capital of Biheiril, the Second City of Irelil, And the Third City of Heirulil.

There was nothing particularly remarkable about this kingdom If you had to highlight something,

his domains were large considering the little influence it had over other nations despite having Twice the size of its neighbors, their armies are roughly equal in strength.

That's what I learned when we were getting ready to travel.

Luckily my departure to Millis is in a week so we have plenty of time to go to Bihereil and maybe also to Roa.

For the trip I decided that only me and Sylphie would go, I asked Nanahoshi to cover my back by taking care of the house with Roxy and she willingly accepted.

We use teleportation circles from the office and teleport to the outskirts of Bihereil

Now we head towards the second city of Irelil

On my first trip to this country I only went to the capital but now our destination is to reach the city and enter the forbidden forest what the locals call it

Within this is the relatively hidden village of Superd, I say relatively hidden because it is not easy to find but everyone knows about the existence of this

-Wow, there's not much snow here Rudy- Sylphie said, peeking slightly out of the carriage we rented.

Yes, there is definitely not much snow around here, in Sharia the snow can reach up to the knees if it is allowed to accumulate, that happens in practically all the northern countries but not here.

Snow lightly covers the ground, it is no problem for the motorized carriage but it could ruin the farmers' crops.

-It must be because of the mountains- I said.

-Huh? What do saddles have to do with this?- Sylphie said as she snuggled up next to me.

I put my arm around her and pat his head

-It's just a guess, but I think that because of the mountains in the east the clouds can't get through to a large extent, which causes little snowfall- i explained.

Sylphie relaxed under my caresses but continued to listen to me.

-mmmm I see, you were always so smart Rudy hehe- Sylphie said hugging me affectionately

I hugged him back and we stayed like that for a while.

-Although I'm not entirely sure, this world does not obey the same laws as my previous world- I added.

Sure it's quite cold and the air is dry but what's missing is the snow

..

..

Thanks to the motorized carriages we quickly arrived at the city. To my surprise Sylphie already knew the way to the forbidden forest so I dedicated myself to following her.

The Forbidden Forest is named after the powerful invisible beasts that live there, making it almost impossible to cross, hence its name, as this forest is too dangerous.

The Superds settled somewhere in this forest thanks to the condition that they would control the population of this invincible monster since thanks to its peculiar third eye only they can see the invisible beasts

-Rudy, from now on we have to be careful, okay? - Sylphie told me in a serious tone.

-Of course dear, I won't let anything happen to you- i declared

Sylphie just laughed at this and then got serious and we walked into the forest.

The Forbidden Forest looks like any other forest but it hides those deadly beasts, Sylphie, with her enhanced elven hearing and her innate sense of direction thanks again to her elven blood was the one leading the way.

We were now walking in a southerly direction as Sylphie said

The Super village was about a 20 minute continuous walk away

-Rudy!, to your left!- Sylphie shouted

I immediately conjured a stone bullet waiting for my enemy

I could see the bush flattening rapidly with branches snapping beneath it, the beast is fast...

I threw my stone cannon but it only hit one of its legs.

The beast let out a guttural growl and lunged at me, but the trail of blood from its paw was more than enough to track it.

I threw another stone cannon that hit the beast's head and it collapsed Anticlimatically

Unfortunately, the Bastia alerted its people about us with its cry and I could hear several of them heading towards us.

-We are surrounded!- Sylphie shouted, conjuring water balls quickly.

Most of these failed by not having a clear objective

So I used gravity magic around us and miraculously caught the beasts.

I could feel a total of 4, they were extremely heavy and very strong, my magic could only slow them down a little

But that was enough for Sylphie to conjure fireballs and finish off the beasts.

-wow...that was close- Sylphie muttered, dusting herself off.

-Yes, and I was fantastic, dear- I said with a smile.

Sylphie blushed deeply at this and a silly smile formed on her lips.

-Hehehe, well if you say so Rudy- she said approaching me asking for caresses for her good work

..

..

Shortly after we arrived at a cliff with only one bridge, but fortunately for us, the bridge was made of super-resistant earth magic and was also wide and had railings of 1.5 meters.

So there was no problem for Sylphie and I to pass by at the same time.

We walked for another 5 minutes until we saw the entrance to a village.

At the entrance were two guys from the Superd race guarding it.

Through his third eye they let Sylphie pass without problems but the guards looked at me stupefied.

-This presence, Lemo!...Do you feel it? It's the same as that of Miss Norn's brother- the guard said

-It looks too much alike! Its presence its practically identical! - the other guard said

-Guys, let him through, he's a friend- Sylphie said and the guards let me through without hesitation after this.

The sight of the village surprised me incredibly, all the inhabitants were Superds and there were not a few of them.

There were women, men and children running with a white tail

It was a comforting sight after knowing everything Ruigerd had to go through.

The villagers looked at us and greeted Sylphie kindly but were shocked to see me.

Shortly after a Superd approached us, more specifically Sylphie

-Miss Sylphie, what brings you here? Are you coming to visit? - the super asked.

-You got it right Gladius, you know who I'm looking for- Sylphie said with a smile

-I understand! Enjoy your stay at the villa!!- the Superd said and ran away

That guy... didn't even bother to say good morning to me...

-Wow, you are really well known in this town, huh?- I said to Sylphie

-Of course, after all Mr. Ruigerd married Norn so it was inevitable that we would come to visit her- Sylphie explained

I followed Sylphie to a two-story wooden house, it conveyed a cozy aura and besides looking like the typical drawing of a window

As we were approaching the door of a house suddenly opened and a Superd girl and Ruigerd.....came out of the house in shock.

-Hah.....so the presence I felt was correct- Ruigerd muttered with a smile

-I can't believe it...it's you uncle!- the super chic said and then hugged me

-What's going on, what's the commotion?- an elderly woman said as she left the house.

She has gray hair with several wrinkles and gives the impression of a nice old lady.

-hah...hah....I can't believe it!- Norn said through tears

-Brother! It's you! - Norn said while hugging me

I had met up with my sister and an old friend
