Chapter 845
I helped while learning how to set up camp
“I see. The ground is hard aside from this part. And the soft ground here makes it easier to camp.”
We stopped at the place that Nicholas found. The horses were tied to a tree and we prepared our camp site.
The ground was softer around trees, and it was also easier to find branches to burn.
We left the horses and the branch gathering to Phillip. Nicholas and I pitched the tents.
That was when I understood how hard it could be if the soil was different. Obviously, it could not be too soft either.
“Well, now that the tents are pitched, do we make the fire next?”
“Yes. The fire is very important.”
Not just for warmth, but to let others know that we are here.
Of course, it could also attract monsters. But as gathering with other travelers was quite common, it was best to make a fire.People probably tend to get lonely when traveling alone…
“So, let’s light it then… Would you do the honors, Mr. Takumi?”
“Me?”
“Well, it can be anyone.”
Phillip must have realized that I would want to do it, as I had been watching them lay down the branches and dead leaves.
Usually, it was Leo who started the fires, and so I had wanted to try it.
And so Phillip stood and allowed me to do it. I squatted down and then focused on gathering the magic energy.
Now that I think about it, I had not been using magic very often… I suppose it was because there was no need for it at the mansion.
“Fire Elemental Candle…”
I made a flame on my finger first and brought it to one of the branches.
After a few seconds, smoke rose and it started to burn. And so I moved my finger away and deactivated the magic… However, the first soon disappeared.
“Huh…?”
“Ah, Mr. Takumi. That method won’t work, you know? The fire is too weak. Well, it might work if the wood was all dried.”
“Is that so? Well, I guess it was quite weak…”
Phillip saw that I was struggling and gave me some advice.
Now that I thought about it, I had once seen somewhere that a mere lighter was often not enough to start a fire like this…
At the very least, I should have kept my finger burning for a little longer.
“In such cases, one should use Fire Elemental Strong Flame Burn Up.”
“Oh.”
To demonstrate, Phillip squatted down and changed while holding his hand over the branches.
In the next instant, flames spread out and enveloped the wood… Indeed, this was strong enough to light it all up at once.
And while it immediately died down, unlike the first time, the flames spread to the other leaves and branches, and the fire did not disappear completely.
