Chapter 355: Fairy Capital City
Chapter 355: Fairy Capital City
Elysia and the others decided to have lunch before leaving. Even though Rhea and Nell didn't feel hungry or thirsty, they still ate the dishes given by Elysia.
Spoiling the tongue with the delicious taste was neither a mistake nor sin. It was an indulgent and justifiable pleasure. Even so, Elena did not join the luncheon. Elena just enjoyed everything Elysia felt using shared senses.
Elysia didn't fully understand why Elena would prefer to enjoy dishes like that. Nevertheless, it was only a matter of preference.
Maybe, there was some pleasure in itself with using shared senses? Elysia decided to try the same thing when Elena took over her body at another opportunity. She wanted to make sure of it.
"Thank you for the meal." Rhea put her hand together in appreciation, then Nell imitated the same move.
"Okay, are we leaving immediately?" Elysia cleaned the tableware with her magic, then put everything again into her Space Bag.
"En, the sooner, the better." Rhea nodded in agreement.
"Well, where shall we go first? I need to say this beforehand... My master and I can't come to Fairy Continent's capital city if we go there under anonymous identities." Elysia rose from her seat, and the others also prepared to leave.
"Huh? Is there some reason for that, Master Elysia?" Rhea's expression became clueless in an instant.
"Hmm, nothing. I just can't transform into a fairy. It will lose our aim if we enter Zhadphis Woodland under disguise. How about you, Rhea? Can you transform into a fairy?" Elysia shook her head then revoked her magic. The chairs, bed, and table vanished as if they had never been there before.
"Hm, I can't either, but my avatar is a fairy." Rhea shook her head too. However, a brilliant idea came to her mind at that very second. "Ah, how about this. My avatar and Little Nell will go to Zhadphis Woodland to get some Dew of Life vials. Then, the rest will go to Eshvelenora Woodland as elves. Well, with one white tiger."
"That's a bad idea. You're still in a vulnerable state. We'd better not split up from the same group." Elysia gave an instant rejection before Nell even had time to utter any opinion.
"I see..." Rhea twirled a strand of her hair in thought, but she tried to ask for a solution first. "Then, do you have any idea, Master Elysia?"
"How about this. Your avatar and Nell will enter Zhadphis Woodland as fairies in disguise. Then, I, my master, and Vann will follow in invisible magic." Elysia could only think of it as the best solution.
"That sounds like a good idea, Master Elysia. However, please don't forget about my real body. Uhm, I'd better stay in the Nature Realm." Rhea added one important point to Elysia's plan.
"All right, that sounds perfect. I also want to check if we can send telepathy via spirit connection if you are in Nature Realm, Rhea. Now, please manifest your avatar, and we can go." Elena voiced her approval.
"En." Rhea nodded once, then raised her palms to chest level. She closed her eyes and manifested her avatar to appear above her palms.
Magic energy surged instantly, and greenish light particles appeared above Rhea's palms to gather into one unity. The collection of particles formed a fairy with six wings with a height of no more than twelve centimeters.
As the lights dimmed, Elysia and the others were able to see a mini version of the Rhea. But, the mini Rhea had semi-transparent wings typical of fairies, rather than feathery wings like the real Rhea.
"Woah, that's amazing magic, Rhea. Your avatar really looks like you." Elysia's eyes sparkled just to see the adorable mini Rhea.
"Yay, now my big sister is just like me." Nell landed on her big sister's palms and grabbed her big sister avatar's hand.
Rhea opened her eyes and her avatar in likewise.
"Yes, my avatar is the same as me, Master Elysia. But, Little Nell and I will go undercover, right? Hum, we need to do something about our appearance, Little Nell." Rhea's avatar flew to follow Nell. She was invited to dance and spin on the air.
"En, we need to do something. I have disguise magic. You also need to use your magic, big sister." Nell stopped in midair. Then, she rubbed her face with both hands.
It didn't take two seconds, and Nell had a slightly different face from before. She showed her face to her big sister and Elysia. "What about my face now? Can you recognize me?"
Rhea's avatar only gave an approving nod and also used her disguise magic. She gave a slight illusion to her face. "What about the current me?"
Meanwhile, Elysia glanced at Elena, and Elena also did the same. They didn't see any difference in appearance from Nell or Rhea's avatar.
'Sister Elena, please don't say that. Our vision is a little different. Please don't crush the expectations of these two little fairies.' Elysia felt helpless and immediately reminded Elena.
'Well, okay. Let's ask Vann about these little fairies' current appearance.' Elena canceled her intention to speak the truth based on her vision.
After asking Vanessa's opinion, Elysia nodded with a smile to Nell and Rhea. "En, that's good disguise magic. Hope no one will recognize you when we enter Zhadphis Woodland."
"Hehe, you can rest easy on that, Elysia." Nell rested her hands on her hip and replied with a small chuckle.
"Master Elysia, please allow me to enter the Nature Realm." Rhea requested.
"Sure, you can multitask in two forms at once, Rhea?" Elysia touched her necklace and opened the Nature Realm's portal.
"Un, it's pretty easy once you get used to it. You might try it another time, Master Elysia, Master Elena." Rhea walked to the portal.
"Yeah, maybe another time." Elena waved her hand.
When Rhea was already inside the Nature Realm, and Elysia closed the portal, she tried to send telepathy to Rhea. 'Trial one. Can you hear me, Rhea?'
'En, I can hear you clearly, Master Elena. Your telepathy goes straight to my real body instead of my avatar. My spirit of connection with Master Elysia served well for this telepathy.' Rhea responded without delay. Then, she returned to the earth bump where her mother was asleep.
'Good.' After saying that, Elena disappeared and returned to the Soul Realm.
"Woah, Elena really disappeared. Did she get inside you, Elysia?" Nell looked confusedly at the place where she had last seen Elena. She couldn't understand at all where Elena had gone.
"Mm..." Elysia didn't want to answer much and turned to look at her contracted beast. "Vann, can you transform into a smaller winged tiger? Erm, about a quarter of your current size."
"Un, that's easy, master. Give me a few seconds." Vanessa stood up and prepared to use her innate ability. She transformed her body into a quarter of her most ideal size.
At that moment, Vanessa was not like a ragdoll cat, but she was still the same as before. It was just that she was just a winged tiger with a body length of no more than two meters.
"This is perfect. Let's go. Nell, you will take us all to Zhadphis Woodland. I will take care of invisible magic. Ahem, now we are Aria, Helen, Vann, and... Umm, Ely." Elysia clapped her hand for attention.
"Huh? You don't use a second name, Elysia? Umm, Ely?" Nell took out a magic carpet and laid it on the floor.
"Ely is good for me." Elysia pulled her hair back and tied it into a high ponytail.
After that, Elysia and the others sat on Nell's magic carpet, but Elysia leaned against Vanessa's body for a nap.
"Please wake me up when we're almost at Zhadphis Woodland, Helen." Elysia revoked all of her protective magic from the cave, then used her invisible magic to envelop everyone.
"O-oh, all right." Nell nodded slightly and gave the command to her magic carpet.
"Let's go. Our destination is the fairy capital city!" Rhea threw her fist forward to declare their departure.
*Swoosh*
The magic carpet shot out of the cave and flew at high speed towards the northwest.
While Elysia's group was on its way, the high-ranking fairies had just finished having their third meeting.
In the last three days, several fairy authorities discussed humans' conspicuous activities and their preparation to deal with the accursed monsters.
"Empress Yralissa, will the Goddess of Light and the other divine beings visit your palace today?" A Fairy Empress clad in a silver dress asked as she looked up at the clear sky.
"This is the third time you have asked the same question and at the same hour in the last three days, Empress Alyssum." A Fairy Emperor in a black robe responded while examining the reports in front of him.
"Hmm, it's one o'clock. You ask the same thing at the same hour. Why don't you sit in peace and have tea with me, Empress Alyssum? The Goddess of Light has said that. So, let's wait about four more days." Yralissa glanced at the clock on the table and sipped her tea.
"But, we haven't made any preparations to deal with the accursed monsters. The humans and devils have prepared a lot of their preparations. I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties for us fairies. We have committed a grave sin to speak disrespectfully to the Goddess of Light. What do we need to do?" Alyssum sat back down to her seat and held her forehead with a worried expression.
