Chapter 349: Dislike definitely needs to be discriminated
Jade was the one who opened the balcony door, looking at Heraz in fascination. I usually received him alone or with Natha, so Jade rarely met the shapeshifter.
[Master, this one like the fake child!] Jade let out a sharp, low chirp in its attempt to whisper. I had to press my lips on the way Jade referred to Opti, because I didn’t want Heraz to think I was laughing at him.
Anyway, how sharp, Jade. Heraz should be Opti’s relative if I recall correctly.
"Is it the Hero?" I asked before as he shifted inside and got on his knee as usual, and he simply nodded--because what else would it be about. "Have they reached the island?"
"Yes, Young Master."
Hmm...that was fast. They must have been in a hurry. Indeed, winter would worsen the mana corruption, so they must have wanted to solve it before then. It would be almost autumn in the human realm, and I guess they didn’t want to spend the winter with corrupted mana around their land.
Hmm...now that I thought about it, the war ended in late autumn, so it had almost been a year since I got transmigrated here. Wow. It felt so long, but also so short. Weird, huh?
Ah, but I digress.
"How long do you think they’ll take to reach this place?"
Heraz did not answer immediately, lowering his head and seeming to be thinking about the answer seriously. I guessed he didn’t want to give me any light guesses. "They would have to pass through the Empire first, but they would probably use Midas so they could pass by quickly," he answered after contemplating for half a minute.
"Hmm...so where the druid kingdom used to be?"
