A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 30: The Cardinal

Queen of the Spirits, Cascade.

A moment after he entered the banquet hall, everyone was stunned by his beautiful face.

Be it men or women no one can resist the charm that it emits.

Everyone in front of him immediately stepped aside and gave way to him.

With his graceful steps, he walked to the front of the stage where Prince Lapelis and his wife and children were.

Seeing the Queen of Spirits standing before them, Prince Lapelis and Princess Canary immediately bowed and gave a deep salute.

"Thank you very deeply for coming to the banquet of our beloved daughters"

Hearing the words of Prince Lapelis, Queen Cascade only gave a brief nod with a smile.

Although only a glance, but his smile is able to make all who see it as if going to heaven because of its beauty.

With her calm steps like flowing water and graceful like a flower dancing to the wind, Queen Cascade walked up to a pair of sleeping twins.

Looking at the pair of babies wrapped in a soft white blanket, Queen Cascade again displayed a dazzling smile.

Slowly, he bent his body and kissed the forehead of the two twins who were still drifting in a dreamland.

As the Queen of Spirits, every kiss given by Queen Cascade was equivalent to a blessing bestowed by the Gods and Goddesses.

Throughout recorded history, only the fortunate royal family could receive the blessings of the Queen of Spirits.

Even Prince Lapelis and Prince Velforger alone did not accept or ever see anyone lucky to receive a blessing from Queen Cascade.

And now, in the presence of Kings and nobles from all over the continent, Queen Cascade gave her blessing to a pair of twins born to the pair of Locals and Otherworlder.

It should be noted that the arrival of Queen Cascade at night is a surprise to everyone.

"Thank you very much for your kindness to our daughters"

With tears of happiness streaming down her face, Canary who knew how lucky her daughters were for having received the blessing of a Queen of Spirits.

♪T need thank you♪

♪Quite enlarge them to be private good and humble♪

♪It's more than enough♪

His voice that was like the song of an angel made anyone drift away to hear it.

After giving his deepest thanks again, Prince Lapelis and Princess Canary saw Queen Cascade turn around and walk down the stage.

After descending the stage, Cardinal and Rosemary, who had been waiting, walked back behind Queen Cascade as bodyguards and accompanied him to leave the banquet.

Just like when he came, when he left also still made many people stunned.

However, it is different than before. Queen Cascade stopped abruptly.

Many people wondered what was really going on, until they finally realized that Queen Cascade was staring at someone.

That guy is Turbo.

It was visible from his face that he also did not know what was really going on.

Disregarding the people around her, Queen Cascade only smiled before finally looking back.

♪Oh the leader of the Witches, Cardinal♪

♪Go to Ibis Forest, there you will find what you have been looking for all this time♪

Hearing the decree given by the sudden Queen Cascade, Cascade became speechless before finally kowtowing while saying "As per your command!".

Not stopping there, Queen Cascade said again.

♪Headmaster of the Iron Sword Guild, Turbo♪

♪Take Cascade into the Forest of Ibis and tell him everything you know♪

Turbo, who also received an edict from Queen Cascade, spontaneously imitated Cardinal and immediately prostrated himself, saying, "As per your command!".

After that Queen Cascade again walked away from the banquet place while accompanied by Rosemary.

Although she was worried about her grandmother, but since this was the direct order of Queen Cascade, there was nothing she could do.

Cardinal and Turbo are only standing up after being convinced that Queen Cascade has actually left.

After that the room became crowded by the conversation about what had just happened.

Thanks to that the Viridi King is busy trying to control the atmosphere.

On the other hand, Cardinal who was left alone immediately approached Turbo and introduced himself.

"I am the Leader of Sol Ciel, Cardinal La Ciel, pleased to meet you"

"Include also, the Headmaster of the Iron Sword Guild, Turbo. It is an honor to meet you"

After getting acquainted, Cardinal immediately asked Turbo and Sisteen to leave the banquet early and immediately went to the Ibis Forest.

Since this was a request, or rather a Quest given directly by a Queen of Spirits, then the three of them were immediately given permission to go home early.

...

After packing all the belongings they had, Turbo, Sisteen and Cardinal immediately left for Gata City before finally going to Ibis Forest.

As they were in front of the runway where Wyvern was waiting, Sisteen recalled something.

"Chairman, how do we get back? Wyvern we only fit two people right?"

"...Uh!"

Turbo and Sisteen came up with a Wyvern owned by the Iron Sword Guild.

They put the saddle on Wyvern's back and ride it like a horse.

Although Wyvern was physically very strong, but the saddle mounted on his back was only able to accommodate two people.

In contrast to Turbo and Sisteen who seemed troubled, Cardinal casually said.

"It's okay, this body is small enough that the three of us can ride the same Wyvern. Also..."

Cardinal then reached into her small waist bag so that it looked more like a belt with a bag.

Cardinal then took out a saddle decorated with gems and clearly made specifically with the best materials that make it look like a saddle commonly worn by noble families.

In addition to its luxurious models, its size is also large enough that it can fit at least three to four people on it.

"With this there will be no problem right?"

...

Above the starry night sky, there was a five-meter deep green Wyvern flying gallantly in the sky.

On his back was a huge saddle decorated with gems that glittered like the sparkle of stars in the sky.

The Turbo is at the very center of holding a harness that allows it to control the Wyvern they are driving.

Behind him was Sisteen who tightly hugged Turbo's waist and seemed to be enjoying it a lot. It was clearly visible from her face that was filled with smiles coupled with her hair fluttering as being blown by the wind added to her beauty.

Sitting at the very front there is Cardinal who casually enjoy the night sky. Her small body was like a fifteen year old girl coupled with a large saddle that was worn to Wyvern making her able to sit three like this.

Because his conical hat was too big and blocked Turbo's vision behind him, Cardinal was forced to put his hat into his waist bag which was a .

No one spoke, they just sat quietly while enjoying the view of the night sky.

It would take at least one and a half to two days to reach Drakon Kingdom if using Wyvern.

In addition to the location of the two kingdoms that are far apart, there is a kingdom called Ferox Kingdom that separates the two kingdoms.

Therefore, inevitably they would have to pass through Ferox Kingdom first before finally being able to reach Drakon Kingdom.

Time had passed, the night sky had been replaced by the sun shining in the sky.

The three of them had arrived at the Ferox Kingdom's territory and intended to rest first.

They live in a town called Feder City.

The city is located on a plateau and is a city whose majority of the population is Beastman with bird type. Therefore, once you get there you will see a lot of bird-type Beastmen flying freely in space.

After landing their Wyvern on one of the provided runways, the three of them immediately looked for an inn to rest for a day.

"So, is there anything I should know before we reach the Ibis Forest?"

Cardinal who had finished her lunch and was now enjoying dessert asked Turbo who was in front of her.

Turbo who also finished eating immediately answered questions from Cardinal.

Starting from the strange that occurred in the Ibis Forest, the emergence of a Forest Dwellers, and several other events related to the Forest Dwellers.

Turbo also gives the characteristics and names of the Forest Dwellers as well as the fact that he has the same level as Cardinal's grandson, Rosemary.

The Cardinal who heard all of that seemed to be swept away in her own mind.

Not long after, he said.

"That's it..."

That's all he said. Turbo and Sisteen who saw this didn't know what to say and just stared silently at Cardinal saying nothing more and just eating her food in silence.

The day had passed, as Turbo and Sisteen had to Log Out they immediately finished all the affairs they had and immediately returned Log In. Although it was a bit late, now they had resumed their journey.

Some time had passed, the sun had turned back into a moon when they had finally approached the city of Gata.

The first thing they should have seen was the sight of a city lit by torchlight. But what they saw was a very different view.

"What the fuck?!"

"Oh, so you don't know anything?"

"Yes, before we left everything was still normal"

What they saw was the sight of a vast forest. Normally the forest would be so dark at night that you wouldn't be able to see anything.

However, what they saw was a forest shining with a bright violet light.

Be it stems, leaves, until the grass radiates light to make it look like a very luxurious light show.

Seeing this, Cardinal muttered something.

"Geez, what the hell is that kid doing"

Due to his small voice, Turbo and Sisteen could not hear him.

Feeling quite precarious, Turbo cleverly directed the Wyvern he was riding towards a Mansion that became the headquarters for the Iron Sword Guild.

...

In the morning, at the office of the Mayor of Gata.

There were four people in the room, the first was Mayor Lambert Von Gata as the owner of the room and the most important person in the city.

The second was the Headmaster of the Union who organized all the Adventurers who were in the city of Gata, Headmaster Alfred.

Third is the Headmaster of Iron Sword, Turbo.

The last is the leader of Sol Ciel, Cardinal La Ciel.

From the looks of it, Cardinal was the youngest person in this room. But he is actually the oldest. Even Mayor Lambert, who was over fifty years old, had to speak respectfully to him.

The reason why they were all here was to discuss about what happened to the Ibis Forest.

After Mayor Lambert and Headmaster Alfred explained everything they knew, Cardinal seemed to gain enlightenment.

"Oh, so so... You said he showed up with the Otherworlder, right?"

"True, the Lavender Witch first appeared two weeks after the third wave of the Otherworlder came"

After confirming what Turbo had told him earlier, Cardinal asked again.

"Also, this incident just happened right?"

"True, the change that happened to the Ibis Forest just happened two days ago"

At once Cardinal's face revealed a smile that looked cute while making goosebumps.

Seeing this, Lambert, Alfred and Turbo looked confused as well as felt fear running through their bodies. They had no idea what Cardinal was thinking but they could feel something bad was about to happen.

"So, Mayor Lambert. Do you want your people to be able to enter the Ibis Forest again?"

Mayor Lambert nodded. Ibis forest holds many valuable materials. In addition, you can also get a drop from Mobs who live in the forest. Loss of access to the forest has been bad for the economy in the city of Gata.

Therefore, Mayor Lambert hopes that as much as possible to regain access to the Ibis forest.

"Alright, after this I will head straight for Ibis Forest. Alfred and Turbo will come with me, no one will mind, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement to Cardinal's proposal.

Not long after, standing in front of the city gate was a Cardinal dressed in white Witch complete with a rather oversized conical hat and in his hand was a wooden Staff much taller than him.

Beside him was Turbo who was now wearing a typical Adventurer outfit. He wore a dark brown Armor that had a lizard-like motif on its surface. On his waist was a broadsword whose hilt seemed to be made of bronze.

Although it looks ordinary, the sword has extraordinary sharpness that can cut the skin (Stone Lizard) with one slash.

Following them was Headmaster Alfred.

Although he has retired as an Adventurer and now works as a Headmaster. But his ability still had not diminished in the slightest.

With a steel Armor covering his entire body, coupled with a Greatsword with a length exceeding 1.8 meters made him appear extremely intimidating.

The combination of the three of them was enough to make everyone who was about to exit or even enter the city to stop and look at the three of them with admiration and question marks.

Regardless of all the attention they paid to them, they walked towards the Ibis Forest which had changed a lot.
