# Chapter 101: Space Magic
"Right, Wu, didn't you go to Lady Akara's place this afternoon? What are your Plans?"
Lars remembered what I said before leaving and immediately asked.
"Me? Hehe, I Plan to be Responsible for the Defense in Vitrus Village with you guys."
"Really? That's great, then we'll have another Powerful combat Strength." Druv said happily. The Team Cooperation on the Tower made him clearly understand that although this young and excellent Druid's Combat Awareness was not yet mature, his Powerful Summon and Transformation Magic were definitely second to none in the entire Rogue Encampment.
"Haha, we'll see about that later. I still want to stay in the Rogue Encampment for a few more days. I heard those Monsters are relatively well-behaved for now."
I chuckled and didn't mention that I had joined the Special Action Squad. Although it wasn't a Secret worth keeping, saying it now would feel like Show Off. I'm not the kind of Barbarian like Doug who likes to be in the spotlight.
"I look forward to your arrival."
Druv nodded. As the Representative Responsible for the Defense of Vita Village, he had to rush there tomorrow to first understand the Information of the entire Vita Village and the Strength of the surrounding Monsters. This was not an easy job.
Lars had some understanding of my Strength. Looking at my Expression, he seemed to have guessed something, but he just Smiled and didn't say anything.
"Druv, you are the Representative of Vitus. What are your Plans for this Attack?"
Druv replied with a bitter Smile, "Not yet. Last year, when Andala Village was hit by a Monster Attack, although I participated in the Combat, the Monsters then were just a chaotic mess with no discipline whatsoever. We won very easily back then. But this time is completely different. Not only is the Quantity much larger, but they also seem to be well-organized. The difficulty is much greater. I must go there first to check things out and then Plan properly."
"Mm, that's good too."
As I expected, a steady and reliable person like Druv would never jump to conclusions easily, but once he had a Plan, it would be a sure thing.
"Right, Wu, Lars said you just went to Lady Akara's place. Do you have any reliable News? What's your opinion on the Defense Operation in Vitus?" Druv suddenly looked at me with shining eyes.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Although I did go to Lady Akara's place this afternoon, I didn't get any News about this Monster Attack. As for me, hehe, you know I'm not the type to lead troops into War."
In terms of personal Strength, I'm Confident I don't lose to anyone in the Rogue Encampment. But when it comes to Strategy/Planning, I can't compare to the experienced Druv, at least not yet. Although I played many Strategy Games in my original World, that can never be confused with real War. You must understand that this is a Matter of Life and Death. If there's any mistake, I'll definitely be scorned by everyone in the Rogue Encampment.
After chatting with Druv and the others for a while, it wasn't until night fell that we found the already drunk Barbarian Brothers and Mardon outside. Lars and I dragged Doug and Gus respectively, while Druv helped Mardon. We parted ways at the Tavern entrance. At this time, the Rogue Tavern had reached its peak hour.
What disappointed me a little was that I took advantage of a free moment to go to the Third Area, but I didn't find any trace of Lin Ya and the others. Otherwise, introducing them to Druv would have been a way to look out for them. Forget it, it's not too late to talk about it when we get to Vita Village anyway. Thinking of Lin Ya, I recalled the scene when I first met her at the Tavern, and a warm Smile couldn't help but appear at the Corner of my mouth.
After dragging the Barbarian Brothers back to the Lar Family home, Sha La was the first to greet me, sweetly hugging my arm. This made Lars exclaim about daughters favoring outsiders, and he only quieted down after Auntie Shari glared fiercely at him.
I casually threw Doug onto the Grassland and spread a blanket over them. Anyway, with their Vitality, it would be hard for them to get sick.
"Uncle Lar, when do you Plan to Depart?"
Gently stroking Sha La's soft and smooth pink hair, and taking a sip of the Meat Soup Auntie Shari brought over, I said with a look of enjoyment.
"The exact time is uncertain, probably in a few days. Anyway, the Distance from here to Vita Village is just a short stretch."
Lars looked at his Daughter, who had already fallen into my "demonic grasp," with a frustrated Expression and sighed heavily. Before this brat appeared, his Daughter used to cling to him so much. Now, sigh...
"Mm, let me know when you leave. I might be a bit late. I have to go to Lady Akara's place again tomorrow."
I nodded Affirmative, then gently picked up the drowsy Little Angel in my arms. Her soft and slender Body felt like it was a little heavier than before.
"Kid, don't take advantage of my Daughter. Just touching her face is the most you can do."
As I put Sha La on the bed and was about to leave, Lars's disrespectful Voice came over, almost making me stumble. This couple really is cut from the same cloth.
However, turning back to see her quiet and lovely sleeping Appearance, her tempting cherry lips slightly parted, and the Maiden's exquisite Body that the soft Beast Hide Blanket couldn't hide at all, seemed to emit a youthful, fatal temptation. I silently repeated "I am not a Lolicon" over a dozen times before taking a deep breath, going back, pulling the Beast Hide Blanket up, and then naturally kissing her smooth and cute little forehead.
Good night, my Angel.
After coming out, I ignored the shameless couple who were spreading 'obscene' information to their young Daughter and future son-in-law, and who were now chuckling at me. I walked straight into the Courtyard, kicked Doug, who was sleeping like a dead Pig, to the side, found the most comfortable spot for myself, covered myself with a blanket, and gradually fell into dreamland amidst the sweet Aura left by that warm kiss.
The next morning, Sha La didn't wake me up in her unique way, so naturally, I slept until noon. After quickly eating lunch, Lars and the other two went back to the Tavern to 'degenerate'. As for me, I went to Akara's Tent again according to the Agreement.
At Akara's signal, as soon as I entered, I was startled by the impressive lineup. The Wise Person Cain, Learned and Wise; the Powerful Warrior Leader Kashya; the Mysterious Blind Nun Akara; and a white-bearded old man emitting a strange Aura. The Four Great Elders of the Rogue Encampment were all present, which truly made me feel a bit overwhelmed.
"My dear Wu, long time no see."
Cain, with a kind Expression, was the first to greet me. His eyes, as deep as the sea of wisdom, made people feel favorably towards him, but they still carried a hint of Sorrow. It seemed he hadn't yet emerged from the Sorrow of Griswold's death.
"Haha, kid, I heard from Akara, so I came to see the Excitement." Kashya shook her characteristic Wine Pot. She still gave off a feeling of being unrestrained.
"Wu, you've come at just the right time. Come, please sit down." Akara guided me to sit down with a Smile, then warmly handed me a cup of Spirit-Clearing Water.
"You already know Cain and Kashya, so I won't be long-winded. And this remaining white-bearded old man is Fara, the President of the Mage Guild." Akara introduced with a Smile.
"Lord Fara, hello." I stood up and slightly bowed to the white-bearded old man.
"Hehe, my dear Wu, I believe this isn't our first meeting, is it?" Fara said cheerfully.
"Indeed."
Speaking of which, among the Four Great Elders in the Rogue Encampment, he was actually the first one I met.
"I heard from Akara that you seem to possess some remarkable abilities. Could you let this old man broaden his horizons?" As expected of the President of the Mage Guild, Fara was most Curious about my abilities and immediately got eager, cutting straight to the chase.
Akara also smiled and nodded at me, "Although this old man's 'temperament' is a bit bad, he is indeed the foremost Sorceress in the Rogue Encampment. Regarding this kind of Knowledge, he understands it better than this old woman. If you don't mind, please satisfy his Curiosity."
"Of course, no problem, but..." I looked around. Akara's Tent wasn't big to begin with, and now there were five people standing in it. If I were to Summon Light Snow as well, I'm afraid...
Seemingly seeing my doubts, Fara Smiled faintly. A complex Incantation came from his mouth. In an instant, as a Druid who also manipulates Elements, I immediately felt an Aura I had never felt before, gathering at an astonishing Speed. It wasn't the Ice and Fire I was familiar with, nor was it Lightning, but a strange Energy I had never seen before.
Regardless of what this unknown Energy was, Fara's Speed in gathering Energy alone was enough to leave me utterly shocked. Compared to the dense Energy that appeared out of nowhere in the air in that instant and this Speed, Lin Ya and those Wizards, and I, were like children playing house.
Reluctantly suppressing the shock in my heart, Fara finished the Incantation shortly after. Then, with a gentle wave of the Staff in his hand, the originally narrow Space instantly seemed to be stretched, expanding several times over.
