I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 241: Fake Angel
"We have clearance to go, but we need to stop at the Duke's mansion," Silvia informed Logan. "We can skip the trip to the capital for now and just visit the Duke. For the return journey, though, it might be best to visit the capital afterward to avoid upsetting the ruler of the Kingdom of Eta."
Not wanting to waste any more time—especially with soldiers who didn't fully trust him—Logan took off on Wyver, while Silvia mounted Zephyr. The two beasts had been restless for hours, and a light meal had been provided earlier to keep them calm, particularly Wyver, who was still new to the team.
Crossing the borders proved effortless. Within an hour, they were already near the first city, but they chose to fly past it, their sights set on reaching the Duke who had agreed to meet them.
Conasoneto was their destination, and the journey offered captivating changes in scenery below.
While the Kingdom of Veridith reminded Logan of Russia, the Kingdom of Eta resembled Europe in his imagination. The architectural differences were striking; houses in Veridith were sharper and more pointed, whereas those in Eta were rounded, smaller, and adorned with vibrant colors.
Logan speculated that the lack of prominent mountain ranges contributed to Eta's warmer climate. The absence of snow and the arrival of spring brought vivid hues to the landscape. Trees blossomed with bright greens and colorful flowers, and the land teemed with life. Herds of deer-like creatures roamed freely, accompanied by wolves and massive bears.
Despite the abundant wildlife, none of the beasts captured Logan's attention—they were too similar to those he had back in the Kingdom of Highrule.
[Do you think we'll be welcomed warmly with Wyver around?] Logan asked, noticing Silvia lost in thought.
[I wouldn't bring him when we arrive. I can create a temporary array to send him back while we continue forward—at least close enough for you to reach him using your wings,] Silvia responded through their mind link.
Her rainbow-colored hair was tied back into a neat bun, preventing it from being blown about in the wind. She wore a simple yet striking outfit: a silver tunic paired with dark violet pants, a minimalist look that suited her well.
Logan's thoughts wandered to Ruri, who had been expanded her efforts to support the other girls—including Silvia, who refused to have a maid or servant. The girl detested to such assistance was something Logan still hadn't managed to understand.
"Silvia, I haven't asked you this before, but why don't you have an assistant for all your work? I've benefited so much from the help I've received—enough to even leave my kingdom in Leonard's capable hands," Logan asked, curious to understand her reasoning.
[I don't work well with others… I need to be the best, and I won't risk someone stealing my work. So no, I don't plan on hiring anyone for that. But what I do need is a slime like yours—I believe it would be incredibly useful to me,] Silvia replied, her gaze fixed on the translucent layer surrounding Logan.
Despite being forgotten at times due to its subtle presence, Logan's slime was evolving daily. Its speech had improved remarkably after watching movies and documentaries.
Silvia might not get along with humans, but slimes were an exception. They lacked greed, ambition, or any drive to outdo her—qualities she appreciated deeply. What she truly desired was her own slime, albeit one different from Logan's. If possible, she wanted to create an entirely new species—one that, like her, could wield all seven elements.
Her experiment, however, remained on hold for now. She needed to carefully combine slimes with mana stones, blending their properties gradually.
Slimes, as single-celled creatures, did not experience pain—losing part of their body didn't matter unless their core was damaged. This made them ideal for such intricate experiments.
[I think we're close enough, Silvia. We should land here and create an array before their military spots us,] Logan called out, breaking her train of thought.
Silvia snapped out of her musings about future plans and focused on Logan's suggestion.
In a small clearing, Silvia began working her magic, carefully forming a magical array in the shape of a circle. Using various mana powders and crystals, she focused intently to ensure it was crafted with precision.
Logan used the time to feed his creatures. He had asked Silvia to create the array with enough power to send both Zephyr and Wyver back, allowing the two beasts to rest for the remainder of the day. He planned to carry Silvia to the Duke's castle himself, using his wings, so they could continue their journey without overtaxing the creatures.
It was already around four in the afternoon, and Logan didn't anticipate traveling further today. The electric plains were still a half day's journey north, making it impractical to push ahead.
Once both beasts had been teleported, Logan turned to Silvia. Without hesitation, he lifted her in a princess carry, manifesting his light-elemental wings and combining them with wind magic. The two took off gracefully, leaving the clearing behind as they headed toward the Duke's castle.
The city wasn't far—only about two kilometers away—and it took them just ten minutes to reach the front gate.
Logan had no intention of hiding his powers and decided to make his arrival as grand as possible. Flapping his wings with exaggerated force, he added four additional sets, which caused his mana to drain twice as fast. Still, the spectacle was worth it. His display caught the attention of everyone near the gate—guards, merchants, and travelers alike, all pausing to watch the dazzling descent.
Cheers erupted from the crowd as Logan touched down, his wings shining brilliantly in the afternoon light. By now, most people were familiar with the saintess's ability to manifest wings, and it made for a spectacle they couldn't ignore.
"Hero, we have been awaiting your arrival, the duke has ordered us to take you to the castle in his personal carriage." A soldier made way through the crowd to get to the hero whose wings were blinding, some of those nearby even bowed before him asking to be healed, his wings caused those around to even feel a sense of serenity that calmed the angry merchants.
Looking at some asking to be healed he had Kryst over him to begin healing them, they were some in the crowd who had missing limbs, but with Kyrst's high level, it was an easy task. Being tasked with mana crystals, she was his highest leveled monster, even if she wasn't his strongest.
