Restarting Life In Another World - 99 3.11 Space Magic

“What do you mean by ‘rob a few mines’?”

“Well, you can use earth magic. So, let’s go and dig the metals out of the mines.”

“But isn’t that illegal. I mean, wouldn’t we be branded as criminals if we do that?”

I wasn’t sure if any written law or any kind of constitution exists here or not, but even without those, I was sure that the concept of crime and criminals would exist here. Because no matter how good the world or society is, it always has some kind of negative aspect.

“Oh yes, we would have been branded as criminals of the Dwarven nation, but at this point, those mines are just wastelands. They stopped mining ages ago because of the fear of monsters.”

I was curious to know about the monsters that made the whole nation stop their work. The monsters that I had faced until now weren’t that big of a threat. That is if dragons, demons, and labyrinth dwellers were excluded from the list. Though if Zagan is confident that we could take them on, then I guess I could rely on his judgment here.

“It sounds pretty far; do you have any means to reach there?”

“Yes, but I think just the two of us should go there. Bringing this girl with us will only slow us down.”

“Who are you calling ‘this girl’ you sleepyhead. I am going wherever Nara goes.”

The thing that I was afraid would happen between Flare and Zagan this morning was now happening between Yoru and him. It would be hard to settle this matter without taking a side, and taking a side here meant looking biased to someone.

Right at that moment, when I was looking for a way to settle this, something came in my mind. Something that I could use to kill two birds with one stone.

“Hey Yoru, you can just stay here and let us guys handle this. If you do that, we can visit a new place together after we are done with this.”

“Okay, but come back soon, alright?”

Even though she still looked unconvinced, I was happy that she agreed. The new place I just mentioned was the Amigo inn. I was planning to visit there anyway so taking her with me wouldn’t be a bad idea.

“Yes, we will be back as soon as we are done,” I replied.

It was already evening so I realized instead of leaving her here, it might be a good idea to send her to the dormitory.

“Zagan, send her to the dormitory, please. She might be bored if we leave her alone here.”

“She could just take a nap like me. But oh well,” Zagan said and snapped his finger after which Yoru disappeared.

No matter how many times I looked at it, it always looked cool. I wanted to know more about how it worked but as they say, patience is a virtue. It might be better to wait for a while.

“Okay, let’s go then.”

“Yeah, you probably sensed it. This orb is where my mana is stored, though now I don’t necessarily need it since my mana is connected to you, and your other familiars through you. But having it here makes things easier for me.”

“So, what is this place?” I asked. I could hear the sound of the tides coming from outside, so I was sure we were near the ocean, but I wasn’t exactly sure where.

“We are in the Lost archipelago. Right now, we are at is one of the 11 islands of this archipelago. It’s on the northern side of the Fioreland kingdom and beyond this is the dwarven nation. Once, this place used to be a mining ground of the dwarves. But now it’s inhabited since the sea around these parts is too dangerous.”

“That makes sense. This also explains why you kept that orb of yours here. So, are the metals that we are looking for here on this island?”

“No. The reason why I chose this island is because the dwarves already took everything from here. Nobody would risk their life by coming to this place knowing that this place has nothing… Anyways, let’s get out, or else your girlfriends might kill me for taking too much of your time.”

“You are right. But none of them are my girlfriends yet, we are just good friends,” I replied. After that, both of us started walking towards the exit of the cave we were in.

“Well, anyway, let me explain how things work with space magic… Basically, you need these devices to store your mana, and you can teleport wherever these devices are. As you saw, these devices are too big so you will need to keep them somewhere safe. Making space is hard but maintaining it is even harder. You can probably count the number of creatures that can maintain the spaces using the fingers on your hands.”

“I am guessing that all the elemental dragons can do that,” I said since that was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought about others who could create their own space.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if all of them could. If you are looking for the creatures who are right next to the demigods, those would come at the top. Though, back in the days, when there was chaos in this world, the miasma level in the surrounding was pretty high. And we demons could easily measure up to them, but now I am not sure if I can even reach close to their strength.”

As we were talking, we reached the exit of the cave. It looked pretty dark outside, probably because we were in a different region of the world and the time zone of this region was different.

When we reached outside, I could see that we were at the top of the hill and in front of us, there was a chain of islands in a crescent shape. The water of the ocean was reflecting the moonlight and signing. It was simply a magnificent view.

“Hey, have you started flying without that bird,” Zagan asked while looking towards me.

“No, I can only float with my eyes closed for now. Though I can summon Flare anytime using her flames inside me,” I replied.

“Yeah, do that. Even flying in these waters can be dangerous.”

After hearing that from Zagan. I summoned the pure golden flames within me and said Flare’s name. And like in the labyrinth before, Flare appeared in front of us in her divine form.

“Master.”

“Thank you for coming here Flare. I need your help yet again.”

“Please think nothing of it master. I am your summon for that precise reason.”

After this conversation with Flare, I looked towards Zagan again. It was getting late and I had a feeling that this might take a while. So, I wanted to rush things as much as possible.

“Zagan, which island are we flying to first?”

“First, let’s go to the Mithril island. It’s the furthest one from here.”
