The Return of the Mad Witch
Location of Devina's Hidden

"What did you catch?"

Reibert, Frintz, and Xeros had the same question. They were curious about the light fragments Valencia had captured.

"This is a trace of magic, it can be used to detect their current existence. Later I will teach you how to use this magic trail. For now, please send a report to the palace and to the residence of the Archduke Calestine. The more people look for it, the better it is" Valencia said.

Soon Reibert sent some people to send letters to the palace regarding the situation that occurred at that time. The knights moved swiftly, they wrote letters and sent them through the letter-sending bird.

The birds were spiked with magic to speed up their flight so that the letter could arrive faster than usual. It only took a few minutes until the letter arrived in the hands of Abraham — the Emperor.

Abraham who was spending time with Linita was amazed by the arrival of a perch in his hand. At the foot of the bird was bound a letter from the Valencia group. Abraham hurriedly took the letter and read the contents of the letter.

As Abraham stood up from his seat, he was shocked instead of playing reading a letter explaining the situation of his beloved daughter.

"Darling, seriously!" said Abraham.

Linita straightened his head, his premonition suddenly worsening when Abraham got the letter.

"What's wrong? What's written on that paper?" linita asked hoping it wasn't a bad thing.

"Devina disappeared, she was kidnapped by someone. Currently Valencia is asking to send some people to the scene."

"What?!"

Linita was shocked, his head suddenly racked with pain when he heard bad news about Devina. The entire palace knew how much affection the Emperor and Empress had towards their only daughter. In fact, they couldn't resist whatever his daughter wanted. However, today they instead heard something unexpected about their daughter.

"Devina, my poor daughter. Who kidnapped her? My head hurts to hear about Devina."

Linita's body lost its balance and almost fell to the floor. It was fortunate that the servants swiftly caught Linita.

"Darling, please calm down, I'll go find our daughter soon. You can't get sick. Understood?"

Linita nodded weakly. "Please find Devina, don't let her get hurt. I can't imagine our daughter having to deal with such an unpleasant incident."

"All right, I'm leaving now." Abraham kissed Linita. "Please look after the Empress, lest the Empress fall ill thinking of the Princess" Abraham commanded the servants.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Abraham immediately gathered some knights for him to take away. He hurriedly spurred his horse to run in the middle of the night. Then accidentally, Abraham meets Henzo who is also about to go to the academy.

They also stopped in the middle of the forest, they combed the scenery around pitch-black.

"Valencia told us to go down this road, he said we would be faster until we use this road" Henzo said.

"Yes, let's hurry up and walk the path Valencia tells us. I'm sure Valencia has prepared something on this road."

And it's true, on that street Valencia has opened a teleportation pentagram for them. Without thinking, they stepped on the pentagram. A very surprising moment, they arrived at akadi in an instant after stepping on Valencia's teleportation pentagram.

"What was that just now? We're getting to the academy faster through that strange light, '" confused Henzo.

"Let's ask Valencia later."

They quickly went to where Valencia was, where the girl had gathered with the others. Plus there are Leano and Sammy to help with Devina's search.

"Valencia! Hows it? Where did they take Devina?" abraham asked in panic.

"Good-looking uncle, Uncle Emperor, you've come. Devina was taken to a very far place. They used a magic artifact to kidnap Devina" Valencia explained.

Valencia nodded his head. "True, magic artifacts are things that have magic power. They're wearing things that can cast magic."

"Then what now? How do we catch up with Devina?"

Valencia was silent for a moment, he was concentrating on finding his way to the enemy hideout carrying Devina. Valencia tries to perform some magic tricks that might take him directly to Devina's place.

"I can't make a pentagram teleport to that place, it looks like we have to travel to that place" Valencia said.

Abraham and Henzo did not understand what Valencia was explaining. Only they here know nothing about magic.

"Teleportation pentagram? What have you been talking about since?"

Valencia patted him on the forehead, forgetting that Abraham and Henzo knew nothing of this.

"Uncle, the circle with the star that Uncle stepped on before coming here was called a teleportation pentagram. It was magic, a quick transfer of place magic," explained Valencia briefly.

"Magic? Who's good at magic?"

The five men on Valencia's side pointed towards Valencia.

"Valencia good at using magic?"

Valencia smiled innocently while nodding. "Right, let me explain later after Devina's found."

"Alright, but where's Devina right now?" abraham could no longer calm down thinking about his daughter's fate.

"Devina was taken to the forest of immortality. The forest was filled with traps and filled with dangerous creatures. We better not take the knights there because they won't be able to survive in that place. Does Uncle want to go with us?"

"Of course, we both have to go!"

Then Valencia took out two black bracelets filled with a very powerful protection magic for them.

"Wear this bracelet, here there is protection magic. Uncle can also channel a little magic into Uncle's sword, at least in this way Uncle can pass through the forest of immortality," said Valencia.

"Is the forest dangerous?" ask Henzo.

"Yes, if Uncle is careless, Uncle could just go home with a corpse. That's why I made this bracelet so that Uncle could return home safely. Remember, our opponents are not just anyone. They're all good at magic."

"Well, I'll listen to all your words."

After that, they prepared everything they needed to carry. The forest of immortality they passed by later would be quite troublesome. Valencia has seen a picture of how the forest forms.

"Valencia, the whole preparation is done" exclaimed Leano.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Valencia took his horse — Black who was on the academy farm. During his time at the academy, the academy helped the academy students' horse care. Now Valencia takes him away to the woods of eternity together.

"For a long time no see, Black," said Valencia rubbing Black's head.

Black looks happy to see Valencia coming to take him to go together.

"Black, we have a big task, I hope we can finish this task soon. Let's go together towards the forest of immortality!"
