The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 279 The Departure

What should I do?

What can I do?

I could only accept her addition to the group. Well, it was not a group, just two, me and Celine. Now Angela would join us too.

Since she is technically my girlfriend, I can't say no in certain situations, just like she can't say no in certain situations. This is such a situation.

I am going out and spending time with her twin for a long time and if I say No when she comes all the way to join the journey, then that would look bad and would be bad later on. So, I can just smile and accept her joining. I have no other choice anyway.

"Well, if you want to, you can come. Did Celine say where we would be going?" I asked Angela.

"Yes, we are going to Redthorne Empire and I prepared for such a journey" Angela replied.

Since she came prepared enough, nothing else can be done but to depart and officially start our journey.

How to reach the Rethorne Empire?

There are many ways to do so. Some would be a long and arduous journey but some would be as simple as teleporting.

The empire and the kingdom are far away from each other, divided by the forbidden zone and the only reason why the kingdom still stands as of today.

The kingdom's rulers are not naive to believe that the empire is not looking for ways to subdue them but for a kingdom to survive long and become strong, trade is very important, especially trade of resources that are not available here or ones that are available here and are rare elsewhere.

Who knows?

Whatever the case might be, it has nothing to do with me or the two girls I would be travelling with now.

What we needed was transportation and we believe that teleportation was the best way to do so.

Travel by ship would take too many days but that would make our neighbor nations know about our travel. The ships can't just sail continuously. They would stop every once in a while to rest and trade.

Travelling such long distances at once by ship is not a good thing.

So, we would have to rest in the enemy nations and I am sure that my face was known to all top officials, maybe even the lower ones. They would forget me in a year or two but in this period it is very dangerous for me.

I need to keep a low profile. If they knew about my plans, there would be assassins to get me.

So, the ship is a no-go. Even if there were no assassins, too long of sea travel is not good. So, we chose teleportation.

From what I learned, the teleportation hub is in a town called Reckless, but to reach that town there is no direct way. We have to teleport to Border Town and from there we have to walk to Reckless.

Teleporting to Border Town is also not direct but has to teleport three times or four times. I choose three times as I trying to save time, not waste it by teleporting.

Why would I choose the path where I have to teleport four times to reach the Border Town?

After deciding on what to do, we three went inside the teleportation hub to depart the kingdom and start our tour.
