"A goblin!"
Lawrend immediately recognized it. There was no way he would mistake it. After all, he killed a lot of them before.
"Sh*t! We're flying back up! There is a goblin nest nearby!"
Olgar shouted in alarm. The golden saucer started to fly into the air once again.
But just as they were flying up, a vine suddenly burst from the ground and hit the golden saucer.
"W-Woah!"
Lawrend and the rest tried their best to maintain balance.
"Tch. +Blade Wind+!" [AN: Spells wrapped with a '+' are insta-casted.]
Olgar extended his hand forward and a sharp wind current materialized in front of his hand before flying in a curved arc towards the body of the vine below.
Without suspense, the vine was sliced by the Blade Wind cleanly.
"Phew."
Olgar sighed in relief. The golden saucer flew higher into the air and moved away.
"Mr. Olgar, what was that?"
Lawrend asked in curiosity. It was his first time seeing a plant move and attack so fast. Even in his previous life's memories, that wasn't a thing.
"That was a Worm Vine. It acts like a worm, but in truth, it's just a plant vine. Once it senses a target, it would rise from the ground explosively before constricting the neck of its prey. It was probably waiting for those goblins."
Olgar explained to them in detail. A Worm Vine is as powerful as a True Mage. It was not a threat, but it was better for them to be careful as Worm Vines are capable of attacking multiple times. One careless move and one of them might die.
"It's really the survival of the fittest out here. If we hadn't landed there, the goblins would have been its target."
Lawrend said to them as he thought out loud.
"Master, vines are scary-buzu!"
Elena said to Lawrend with worry on her face.
"We're safe now."
Lawrend patted Elena on her head.
"Ella, you need to become strong to protect yourself. That's just one of the weakest monsters in this forest."
Aleshia said to Ella as she rubbed her hair.
"Mm. I'll learn magic or the sword, Big Sister!"
Ella replied to Aleshia resolutely. Her mind was shaken when she saw that vine attack. It was her first time seeing this side of the world. Most of her time was spent at home waiting for her Big Sister to return.
"Here. I'll test the area first."
Olgar stopped the flying saucer above an area far from the previous one.
"+Blade Wind+! +Blade Wind+! +Blade Wind+! +Blade Wind+!"
Olgar insta-casted several Blade Winds multiple times. They curved towards the ground and shot up a cloud of dust when they hit the ground. It was enough power to disturb the ground and force any monsters hiding below to attack.
"It seems like we are safe here."
Olgar said to them. He landed the golden saucer on the ground peacefully.
The dust cloud soon cleared up after a while.
"Do you guys know camping?"
Olgar suddenly asked them as he walked off the golden saucer.
"I know some."
Lawrend was the first to reply. The memories from his previous life contained details about it.
"Hm? When did you learn it, Young Master?"
Aleshia asked with a raised eyebrow. The last time she checked, the only thing Lawrend could do on outdoor camping was to eat and sleep.
"I read them from a book…"
Lawrend cooked up a lie on the fly. He didn't expect that Aleshia would be so sharp about it. It probably gave her a deep impression when they traveled to Sheron Port City.
"Oh, that's good. Books are knowledge, and knowledge is wealth."
Olgar nodded his head in approval. As Mages, they should be knowledgeable. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to proceed if they can't find creative solutions to improve their magic.
"Really?"
Aleshia was skeptical about it. After all, she spent about 5 days with Lawrend camping outside. He didn't show an ounce of knowing survival skills.
Lawrend didn't respond to her. He walked towards the forest and started breaking the branches of a small tree with his hand.
Before long, a small makeshift tent appeared in front of them. It was constructed with long branches as the support while the large tree leaves act as the roofing. There were also layered large leaves on the bottom that serves as comfortable flooring.
"Buzu!"
Elena exclaimed in amazement.
"I didn't expect this much, Young Master."
Aleshia said with surprise. The makeshift tent looks really nice and comfortable.
"Did you think I was joking?"
Lawrend replied to her as his cheeks twitched in response.
"No."
Aleshia responded with a smile. Though, Lawrend could see that it's obviously fake.
"Master~ That is too small-buzu…"
Elena replied, downcast. She stood in front of it, and it could only fit her inside.
"It's very impressive, Lawrend. I'll help you make the others."
Olgar was impressed at Lawrend's handiwork. He walked towards him and helped make more.
An hour later, five makeshift tents stood before them. It was enough for each of them to sleep on each one.
The sun had already started to set by this time.
"Big Sister, I'm hungry."
Ella tugged Aleshia's maid uniform as she held her bubbling stomach.
"Wait for a bit, Ella."
Aleshia patted Ella's back before standing up and walking towards Lawrend and Olgar who were inspecting their creations.
"Young Master, I think we need to hunt for food."
Aleshia said to them.
"Mr. Olgar."
Lawrend turned towards Olgar.
"We're going to hunt. Prepare yourselves. We may encounter powerful monsters."
Olgar said to them.
"Young Master, I think it will be hard for us to move if Ella and Elena hunt with us."
Aleshia said to Lawrend.
"Who will be left behind?"
Lawrend asked her.
"Preferably, the Young Master, but you have no fighting prowess that can defend them for a long time."
Aleshia replied to him. She wants Lawrend to stay safe, but since he can't be safe with them. Then, it will be more rational for him to go with Olgar.
"So you're staying?"
Lawrend asked her in confirmation.
"Yes."
Aleshia bowed her head.
"Alright. Wait for us."
Lawrend said to her with a smile. He then left the camp together with Olgar.
