Chapter 231: The Illusive Road
After Melina and I left Nessa and Rika at End Town, we returned to the academy, where I told her about my plans for the next three days.
I wanted to build a road that crossed the Illusive Forest and connect the Sephyr Kingdom and the Droman Empire by land.
Reinar and Jen had slightly improved the effects of the red vine that gave individuals immunity to the illusions. However, it still only lasted for six hours and couldn’t be ingested again for 24 hours.
Nonetheless, I thought that we had plenty of time to build a big chunk of it.
Vespera was also going to help, so I devised a plan where the three of us drink the potions at different intervals of time. That way, there was always someone working on the road.
Seeing that we still had a few hours of daytime left, we made our way to the border to begin the construction.
When we got there, we met the knights of the 7th order, as it was their guarding spot, and told them about our plans to build the road.
They expressed their concerns about us going into the Illusive Forest, but when I showed them our new potions, they relaxed a bit.
Commander Valentina, ever worried, said she would come with us to protect our surroundings, and while I wanted to decline since it wasn’t really needed, I went with her wishes.
