Chapter 440: Journey Towards Eldoria! [2]

The road to Eldoria was scenic, surrounded by lush forests and the occasional glimpse of wildlife. The geniuses were in awe of the natural beauty around them, and they engaged in conversations, discussing various topics and sharing their knowledge.

As their carriages rolled along the winding path towards Eldoria, the geniuses and S-Rank agents couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension.

The dense forest enveloped them, its ancient trees casting elongated shadows across the road. The air felt crisp and infused with the essence of nature, reminding them of the Elven presence that awaited them.

As they traversed through the dense forest, Nock Fletcher led the way with the geniuses and S-Rank agents following closely behind. The Elven guards, known for their exceptional tracking skills, scouted ahead, ensuring a safe path for the group.

They were also more likely to know of danger if any than humans who had never been here. Nock also trusted their judgment and even if they were wrong, he was there to protect the young geniuses.

On the first day of their journey, they encountered a few minor skirmishes with forest creatures and some low-level monsters.

Although it was the only weak monster that even geniuses could take care of, they didn't get a chance since the Elves already took care of them.

Most of the monsters were already killed by the scout and if the number of monsters or their strength was too much for the scout, they warned the group and the Elven guards will take care of them.

Their skill surprised many of the geniuses. Their control over mana and power was way higher than them. They only use enough power to kill the monster and keep the damage as minimal as possible.

If one sees the place where the battle took place, he/she may not even tell that a battle has taken place due to how little the place had changed.

Their respect for the Elven guards also increased. They never imagined that the guards were so powerful, especially Aranic who they speculated to be Rank-S after they witnessed his strength.

Their previous hatred was replaced with slight respect. They only felt hatred and anger towards him because they thought that he was beneath him but then realized that he has strength to indeed look down on them.

Of course, some of them were still not convinced and felt humiliated previously by his words.

Anyway, they could already see the difference between Elves and Humans. For humans, if they were as strong as Aranic, they would never agree to work as guards to escort some kids from other races.

This was one of the reason why they looked down of Aranic. Him being guard could only mean that he was weak with no real status.

However, unlike in Human Domain, even if someone was as strong as Aranic, he/she would need to do everything that is asked by the Elven Royals.

As twilight descended, they reached a clearing adorned with a sparkling river. It was an ideal spot to rest and set up camp for the night. The geniuses and S-Rank agents disembarked, stretching their legs and breathing in the crisp evening air.

Nock, his gaze fixed on the flowing water, broke the silence.

"Tomorrow, we shall arrive at Eldoria if there are no major problems. I would once again like to remind you that you are not the only one arriving there. Many other geniuses from other races will also be there!"

Nock continued, "You will need to coexist with them for this period. Don't start an unnecessary problem. Remember, other races' opinions of humans are not good and this is our chance to mend our relationship through the younger generation."

Nock said. He thinks that this could be a chance towards creating a peace alliance with other nations.

Unlike in the past, other races have started getting powerful, especially Elves and Dwarfs. If they decide to wage war on humans, humans will suffer a great deal.

"I wonder which races will be there. Do you think we'll get to interact with them and learn about their unique abilities?"

"I heard that some races possess innate abilities or talents that are different from humans. It would be fascinating to exchange knowledge and techniques with them."

"I want to see whether they are as strong as me! I bet that my Ax Art is the best in the world." …

The geniuses were rather excited to meet other races and they also didn't feel inferior to them. There was no need because from small, they had grown by knowing that humans are the greatest and strongest race in Edolas.

"Humph! Those people should know my power. I will let them know why they are the greatest race."

William snorted. He didn't think that those races were any threat to them, unlike Nock. He was sure that he could make them obey him easily.

However, then he glanced at Zero and got angry again. He never felt humiliated when Zero slapped him and he had to even stay quiet when Zero asked them.

He thought he was not scared of Zero but when Zero warned his subordinate, he had no courage to stand up to him. This made him feel even more angry.

Even if he thought that he was not scared, his body instinctively laid low when it came to confronting Zero. If that incident didn't happen, he would have stood up and threatened Zero of not messing with his subordinate.

However, the scene of Zero slapping him appeared again and again, which prevented him from standing up.

Moreover, the scene in front of him was infuriating. The guy who beat him was happily talking with the women he likes.

"Zero! I will make sure that you die in the Elven Domain!"

William muttered with killing intent.

Zero, who had been relatively quiet since his intervention at the inn, sat near the campfire with a thoughtful expression. He talked with Amelia and Mia, sometimes but was most of the time thinking.

He was thinking about the encounter with the other races.

( If Elves are gathering geniuses from other races, then it is possible that even he would be there. )

Zero thought. From the memories of the novel, he remembered a young geniuses from another race who was as strong if not stronger than Hiro in the novel.

Of course the encounter between Hiro and him will happen some time in the future, however, now there was a chance for them to meet at Eldoria.

And there were also some significant characters from the novel who are from other races. He predicts that those characters will also be there at Eldoria.

"Looks like things will get interesting!"
