After another period of time, little Lori finally said goodbye to life on the ship, and when she stepped on land again, Leah and her party seemed very happy. Even if the sand is still under your feet, at least it will not have the same danger as the vast sea of sand.

"This is the Central Oasis, the largest oasis in the Galova Desert. ”

Leah said as she watched as the workers at the port brought various items off the ship, such as the red sand steel and the small gold coins that were indispensable everywhere.

As the name suggests, the Central Oasis is located in the center of the whole of Caloa, and it is also the largest oasis, which faces four ports in the south, east, west, and north, and Leah and the others are currently staying at the docks of the West Port.

After the group arrived here from Randall, it had changed from the previous huge team to a small and medium-sized team of about forty people, but even so, since it represented the kingdom and the royal family, the momentum must not be lost.

Karin and her knights bought the best horses in the port city, and re-armed the knight squad from infantry mode to cavalry mode. Although in Calowa, camels are also a good fighting mount. But for the Randalls, it is still the horseback that allows them to show their corresponding strength.

Then, the knights equipped the horses with their coats taken from the ship, and with the light armor that had been transformed by the desert heat, a majestic team of knights was resurrected under the satisfied gaze of Karen.

On the other side, Lori and Isabella use Transfiguration to restore the shrunken carriage to its original state. Leah's carriage was naturally a birthday present from Kalian. Even if it is more than ten meters away, the fragrance wafting from this fragrant wood carriage can also make people's spirits shocked. The carriage is adorned with beautiful handicrafts, and the Farainn gold lily emblem made by the master himself exudes a noble atmosphere.

As for Isabella's carriage. It is made of oak. Oak is a sacred tree for the druids, and the carriage is said to have been created by the historic elves, who were given gold on the inside of the wheels and the roof after being acquired by Randall's royal family, highlighting the elves' beauty close to nature and a sense of human wealth. Especially the top of the carriage, where there is a golden griffin carving. It is said to have been done by a famous dwarven master. The majesty of the royal family is fully displayed.

So, the two carriages were tied to the white horses in golden silk horse clothes, and the ladies rode on them. It was as if an aura of elegance and dignity had been added, and the atmosphere around him instantly became full of the flavor of great nobility.

As for the rest of the cargo, Chocobo and hired mercenaries were responsible for transporting it on the road.

Just after the team had been in the city for some time......

"What's wrong?"

At this time, Leah's opposition was invalid, and Isabella took the order as an excuse. I carried it into the princess's carriage. While drinking Rebecca's black tea. Leah noticed that Randall's princess always seemed to look out the window at the chocobos pulling the goods with an embarrassed expression.

"Nothing...... It's just that I have a bad impression of chocobos. ”

Isabella shook her head, as if she wasn't going to say more. Once compared to a chocobo or something by a certain fat thief, the princess felt that she really couldn't say it in front of Leah.

As soon as they got off the ship, the people who looked a little tired first came to the castle on the shore of the West Harbor and spent the night with the lord there. The next day, the refreshed crowd politely bid farewell and began to walk towards their destination, Avedra, the city of mages.

Speaking of which. Sure enough, there are a lot of adventurers here who are a little abnormal. ”

In the carriage, Isabella said as she looked at the team of adventurers who walked by from time to time outside.

"Yes. It always felt as if something was going on with Avedra. ”

Leah replied. While pushing Melti, who was trying to throw herself into her arms and rubbing her chest, away.

By the afternoon of the next day, everyone's doubts were revealed with the appearance of Avedra. However, at this time, they no longer have the room to care about adventurers, because what is even more surprising is the city of mages.

"Is that Avedra......? Really...... What can I say......"

"I think you're probably trying to say, unbelievable. ”

In the team, the two knights looked at the scenery in front of them, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

For no other reason, it was a sprawling ruin made up of ruins. If anything, although the original style of the building complex is still maintained, it is not connected to the town where people live.

Karene frowned slightly, she didn't put a surprised expression on her face, but she still called for someone to bring the map. The depressed countess looked at the map again and again, and at last she had to believe that the ruins in front of her were the so-called Avedra.

"According to the description in the book, I don't think Avedra should be like this. ”

Isabella stepped out of the carriage and looked at the ruins in front of her.

"If anything, it's more of a dungeon, or that's what the adventurers along the way are aiming for. ”

Leah also walked down, looking at the scenery in front of her, especially the scattered adventurer camps around her.

"But in that case, where is the so-called City of Mages?"

Alec scratched his hair and said in annoyance. He agrees with Leah's guess, but can't accept the fact that he can't find Avedra.

However, maps are the best maps and this kind of error is not possible.

So, someone climbed to the top of the ruins and looked into the distance, but what caught his eye was the vast sea of sand.

Eventually, the princess and Lori glanced at each other, and the two took out the magic circle drawing tools from their suitcases. With Leah's help, a magic detection circle that increased the range was quickly completed by Isabella.

Both of them knew very well that since Avedra was a city of mages, no matter where it was, the rich magic fluctuations were absolutely indispensable.

I have to say that Leah and Isabella had the right idea, but the direction indicated by the circle surprised the two of them, because it was directly above everyone.

Little Lori looked up, and was surprised to see that just above her little head, the shattered sky was still gone, or rather, obscured by something else.

It was a city, a city floating in the air, standing below the city, because of the perspective, Leah could only roughly see the exotic style of the city walls, and if she insisted on speaking, it gave people the general feeling of ancient Persia or Arabia.

Following the guidance of Lori's gaze, the rest of the people also discovered the floating city in the air. None of them noticed such a castle in the distant sky along the way. Because of the shattering of the sky, almost all intelligent beings have developed a bad habit of gradually stopping looking at the sky, after all, the void crack and distorted chaos do have the destructive power to make people crazy.

And now, looking at that city, Leah's first feeling is the academy castle in Hero ○ Enemy 5. That's right, it's exactly that kind of city, floating in the air with arcane power, imbued with magical mysteries.

But even so, Leah still felt strange.

"Why have I never seen in the literature that Avedra is a city in the sky?"

Looking at the mage city overhead, little Lori muttered.
