Chapter 88 Teleport?
The group looked at the major but his attention was only focused on the master. "I received a letter from my father asking me to go home since it is already my mother's birthday. I've been planning to go home for a while now but it got interrupted because of everything that has happened."
"Should we prepare then?" Cygnus stood up and patted his clothes that got a little bit dirty because of the dust on the ground.
"Yes, I'll be leaving Lieutenant Lisbon here and the other soldiers so we will be traveling as a small group." He nodded and informed them of their arrangement. He also explained to them how long and where they will be staying while they travel.
"But I hate to travel, ten days is too long for me." Cygnus shook his head followed by a frown on his face. "I only did that because I want to experience it but now that I find it tedious, I can't do it any longer."
Linius sighed at how the other was acting. He didn't think that the master would become this picky. "Then what are you suggesting we do?"
"Why don't we just teleport there?" He suggested without hesitation. Which earned him a gasp from the lieutenant who came with the major to inform them of the contents of the letter.
"Teleport? Are you capable of doing that? Can you even do that to a place you've never been to?" Consecutive questions shot out from the lieutenant's mouth which only made Cygnus amused.
"It seems that the lieutenant is a bit left out of the loop. You didn't tell him?" Cygnus looked at the major only to see him sigh.
"I'll tell you in detail soon." He turned to the confused man and patted him on the back. "Go and prepare whatever we will need while I talk with them."
Lisbon was unwilling to leave but the major was insistent and pushed him away. The major even reassured him so many times that he would tell all about it soon before he finally left. The lieutenant couldn't help but look back once again before he finally left.
"Now that he is gone, what do you mean by teleport? Can you really do it?" Now Linius was curious to see if he could really do it even without visiting his father's land.
Cygnus did not answer as he only smiled. The major did not pursue and just believed the man's words. It was better and easier for him and his mind to do so. He left to see if the lieutenant has finished preparing everything he will need.
"Major, please enlighten me on what is happening? Why did Sir Rigel say those words?" Lisbon immediately asked after the major came to look for him.
"I've made a deal with Sir Rigel and he is not an ordinary magic user. That's all I can say so you don't need to ask anymore. The less you know about him, the more peaceful your life and mind will be. And from now on, you don't need to believe all of his words because you might get entangled in something you can't get out off." Linius seriously warned the man because he did not want the lieutenant to be used by Cygnus.
Lisbon became even more confused but the major's expression was clearly telling him how dangerous the man was. He swallowed the words that he was supposed to say and slowly nodded his head.
"I understand sir, I hope you will be careful too," it was the only answer he could give the major and Linius hoped that he would stay out of this matter. It was also one of the reasons why he decided to leave the lieutenant in-charge of Alfonso while he was gone.
After their preparation, the major bid the citizens of Alfonso goodbye and assured them that the lieutenant will stay with them until help comes. Cygnus's group also left more food that will be able to last them for at least three days.
They walked out of Alfonso's territory before Cygnus stood in an empty space and mumbled some spell that none of them could understand. Even Astrophos who reluctantly joined them couldn't understand what the other was saying. Cygnus only took a look at the map given by Linius before he stood up and started the teleportation spell.
Linius and Astrophos haven't seen anyone use a teleportation spell to a place where they have never been because it was impossible and oftentimes the magic circle would break. So, the solution they thought of was to establish gates in between places to cater teleportation.
The ground below Cygnus suddenly lit up with a white light mixed with a hint of golden glitters. It started as something not that bright but the longer he said his incantations the brightness intensified and it even created a whirl of wind around it. The magic circle continued to glow until the light dimmed and only the wind surrounding it remained.
There were also sparks like lightning that appeared on the surface of the whirlwind as it crackled from time to time. The process of which he said his incantation only took at least three minutes. After that he opened his eyes and there it was again, the red glint in his eyes.
An opening appeared on the whirlwind, just enough to cater one person at a time. Nina went first followed by the butler and when the major saw that they were alright, he also stepped in followed by Astrophos behind.
"This will be a rough ride so brace yourselves," was the only warning they received from the man before they all disappeared together with the whirlwind. No traces of them were left behind and only the gust of wind dispersed after the spell was done.
It was like the blink of an eye that they were already at the borders of the Ginehart territory but to Astrophos and Linius it felt like eternity. They were tossed back and forth for who knows how long and now they still felt a bit dizzy and nauseous.
Cygnus was actually impressed that the both of them did not vomit because when he used the spell and Nina tagged along the woman was so dizzy that she started vomiting the moment they arrived at their destination. Well, it was good that they survived.
They rested for an hour before they finally set off. "Won't they find it strange that we are here already when you just received the letter this morning?" Cygnus asked while they walked towards the first village inside the territory.
"They won't because I'll be the one to explain it to them." It doesn't really matter because Linius knows that his parents will surely believe him.
"Alright, I'll let you handle all of those things then." Cygnus had no complaints what's more important was for him to become a noble.
They walked for an hour before they reached the village where they were warmly welcomed because of Linius. They were offered food and a place to rest while the major was still contacting the manor to send for a carriage.
The next morning a carriage with a coach came to meet them and on the door of the carriage, there was the Ginehart's insignia, a shield with two swords that was crossed above it and on top of the shield was the head of a lion.
After talking with the coach man, they rode the carriage and set off to the Ginehart manor where servants and the Ginehart couple were waiting for them. The atmosphere inside the carriage was silent as no one was talking and only the master's humming could be heard. It was another sign that he was a bit excited and looking forward to this play they were about to perform.
"Are there any people in your house that might become a problem?" Cygnus asked out of the blue which made the major think.
