Chapter 373: 373

Chapter 373

-Clop-clop.

A carriage moved along, its rhythmic hoofbeats filling the air.

Inside, a group of travelers was on their way to the Erul Tribe village.

After using dimensional leap magic from the Cardis Estate to teleport near the Erul Tribe's territory, we parted ways with Andras and Alfred at a halfway point and started our individual journey.

The carriage carried me, Speranza, Lia, Kaneff, and Anis, while Daur sat with the coachman on the driver's seat, steering the carriage.

It seemed to me that Daur had chosen the driver's seat to dodge Kaneff's gaze.

One more person, Terzan, was hidden somewhere in the carriage, expertly concealing her presence. It was kind of eerie, considering the small space of the carriage.

At times, I worried she might not be hiding in the carriage but had fallen off somewhere.

Yet, when we stopped for a break, she'd briefly show herself, easing my worries.

Initially, Anis wanted to sit in the driver's seat, but I convinced her to join us inside the carriage.

"Boss Uncle, Look look. So many sheep on that hill."

"Right."

"Their fur looks super fluffy. I think it's nice to touch."

Speranza chatted while sitting on Kaneff's lap. Kaneff replied shortly to Speranza's talk and even accepted and ate snacks fed to him directly.

Usually, Kaneff would have been annoyed by now, but he was surprisingly patient with Speranza's chatter.

Thanks to Speranza keeping Kaneff's irritation at bay, we enjoyed a peaceful atmosphere in the carriage.

At first, Anis was wary of Kaneff, but she gradually became more comfortable.

As Speranza started to doze off, Lia cautiously asked Anis, who was seated opposite her.

"Um What's the Erul Tribe village like?"

Interested, I listened to Anis's answer as well.

"It's not that amazing of a place. Apart from being a bit secluded, it's pretty much like any regular village you'd come across."

With a slight smile, Anis shared various aspects of the Erul Tribe village.

She described the daily lives of the tribe members: what they ate, their activities, and their family structures.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

She also gave a brief overview of the somewhat complex decision-making process within the Erul Tribe community.

"Major decisions for the Erul Tribe are usually made by the village elders, who are known for their achievements in different areas."

"So, do these elders choose the priestess?"

"Nope, the elders can't get involved in priestess-related matters. The priestess typically picks her own successor."

Interesting.

The priestess was clearly considered a very special being among the Erul Tribe. I asked Anis another question.

"Is there no successor for the priestess right now?"

"Well, since my mom's health took a turn for the worse, there's no clear successor. If someone has to be the successor, I guess it'd be me, even though I might not have all the qualifications"

Anis's expression darkened as she talked about the priestess's successor. It seemed she had mixed feelings about it.

Then, a sudden question crossed my mind.

"Could Speranza have the qualities of a priestess?"

"Uh I don't really know. The only person who might know for sure is probably my mom."

The strange energy and events that Speranza sometimes showed.

It looked like her unknown abilities might be connected to the qualities of a priestess' that Anis mentioned.

But as this question came up, a feeling of uneasiness crept into my thoughts.

If Speranza truly has the qualities of a priestess

How would the Erul Tribe, with an uncertain priestess successor, feel about it? And how would Speranza's grandmother, who is a priestess, react?

Just when my thoughts were getting complex, Kaneff, who had appeared uninterested in the conversation, suddenly spoke.

"Terzan? What's wrong?"

She mumbled in response to my question.

"I can't hide in this forest. My ability doesn't work here."

"What?"

"Your ability doesn't work?"

Lia and I looked at Terzan, surprised.

She'd been able to hide in the cramped carriage, but now in this huge forest, she couldn't Anis, who was walking behind us, explained the mystery.

"It's probably 'cause of the barrier all over the forest."

"A barrier?"

"There's a big barrier covering this forest around the Erul Tribe's land. If someone who's not from the tribe comes in, they'll just get lost and wander around."

Oh!

That's why the coachman was so freaked out earlier.

Kaneff, checking things out, shared his thoughts on the barrier too.

"Having a barrier this big over the whole forest Andras won't have it easy either."

"It's all thanks to the Guardian Deity's power. The Erul Tribe's been getting protection through the priestess for ages."

"To keep up a barrier this strong I can see why the priestess is a big deal."

Kaneff looked intrigued, but the more I heard about the barrier, the more nervous I got.

If I got separated from everyone, I might end up wandering around the forest forever.

I glanced at Speranza, wondering if she was scared too.

"?"

But, to my surprise, Speranza was grinning. I asked her, kinda confused.

"Speranza, aren't you scared?"

"Huh? I'm not scared; it's actually fun, Papa"

"Fun?"

Speranza nodded, very excited, and pointed at different spots in the forest.

"The forest keeps telling me where to go. It's like fairies whispering in my ears, it tickles."

Speranza's fox ears were twitching, like they were ticklish.

When they heard that, Anis and Daur both looked shocked.

"Um, Speranza, you really know where to go?"

"Un! From now on, go left at the biggest tree, where the red flowers are blooming."

"What?!"

As Speranza nailed down the exact path, Anis's eyes went wide with surprise.

Lia tilted her head, wondering why Anis was so taken aback.

"Is it that surprising? Speranza's part of the Erul Tribe too, so shouldn't she know the way?"

"No, no! We only memorize special markings that only our tribe can see to find our way. Without those markings, even my uncle or I couldn't get through this forest."

Then Anis mumbled, like it was hard to believe.

"For Speranza to find the way without memorizing the markings means she saw the barrier's true nature. And the only being that could do that is"

She didn't finish her thought.

But everyone there could guess what she didn't say.
