“Ehem. I shouldn’t have said that,” the coachman said.

He realized that Lawrend got upset by his words. The coachman turned around and drove the carriage.

“Master, should I take care of him?” Aezel asked.

Her eyes were serious. Lawrend could tell that she wanted the coachman dead.

“Don’t bother. I sort of agree with him,” Lawrend replied.

“Oh…”

Aezel and Humility looked at him in surprise.

For Lawrend, kingdoms and empires were a thing of the past in his previous world. Seeing them here only reminded him of the medieval era. The Altro Federation was probably the only modern one in this world.

A book appeared in Lawrend’s hand, and he read its contents. This book was something Valentina made for him after he kept asking her how to become an Earth Mage.

She compiled a lot of her knowledge into this book for the whole month. It could be considered her legacy. If a Beginner Mage managed to get their hands on this book, there would be a good chance that they would at least reach the Earth Mage level.

Aezel and Humility sat on Lawrend’s sides. They both read the book with him. Although Humility decided to stop pursuing magic, she was still curious about high-level magic.

As for Aezel, she was fascinated by the similarities between human magic and demon magic. At such a high level, the distinction between the two races doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

“Sir, hold on. We’re about to ride the rainbow path,” the coachman suddenly said.

Lawrend raised his head and looked outside.

The carriage headed towards a blue-lit road that stretched from left to right. There were various runes written on the road. One look from his eyes, and he could see the intricacy of this road.

Lawrend closed the book and waited for the carriage to travel along the path.

*Fwoosh*

Lawrend, Aezel, and Humility felt their bodies get pushed back as the carriage suddenly accelerated. The air around the carriage turned rainbow.

The horse that pulled the carriage took a step, and it was a meter apart from the previous one.

“What is this road?” Lawrend asked the coachman.

“Woahh…”

Humility stared outside in amazement. Even Aezel can’t keep her calm. This technology was something they had never seen before.

“This is the Rainbow Road that was invented by the Runic Heaven Mage. This is a popular road that is built all over the federation. Though it’s quite expensive so only the state cities have them,” the coachman replied.

“How does it work?”

“Err… I only know superficial things about it. They say that it uses the power of all the elements. There is even a rumor that this is just an imperfect version of the Runic Heaven Mage’s invention.”

A hint of pride was audible in the coachman’s voice. He looked back at them and grinned when he saw the looks of amazement on their faces.

“Imperfect… Could it be lacking the power of space?” Lawrend asked.

It was just a random thought that came to his mind.

“Ah! Did you already hear about this from someone else?”

“Sort of, why?” Lawrend lied.

“Nothing. I managed to overhear it from an Earth Mage that rode my carriage before. They mentioned that the power of space was the missing component. Once that was applied, one step can take you a kilometer away,” the coachman replied.

“…”

He didn’t expect that the mages of this continent knew that it was possible to harness the power of space. It seemed like he can’t use any space spells in here.

There was a good chance that he would be apprehended if they recognized that he was using a space spell. They might even do experiments on him.

“We’re here,” the coachman said.

The carriage stopped and exited the rainbow road. There was a huge building to their left.

“That is the South Pillar Stadium.”

Lawrend, Aezel, and Humility looked outside the window of the carriage. The huge building cast a shadow on them.

Humility paid the coachman, and they dropped off.

“Miss Humility, welcome to the South Pillar Stadium,” a man said.

He walked towards them wearing a yellow mage uniform with five stars on his mage pin. That signified that he was a Grand Mage.

“Who are you?” Humility asked with confusion on her face.

“I’m Meno, the top contender for this year’s Pillar Tournament,” the man introduced himself and smiled at her.

“Thank you, but how do you know me?”

“Hahaha! The Saltside City Mayor recommended you to me. He gave me a list of your achievements. I dare say that you are quite talented. Forcing the previous owners to sell the inn by showing them results. You made the inn more lively than the previous owners could have hoped for!”

“Hmph. What does that have to do with you?”

Humility thought that he was rude. The way he looked at her creeped her out.

“It’s obvious! I want you to prove to me your worth. Then… I might just take you as my wife. Of course, you can still take care of your baby. I’m an open-minded man, after all,” Meno said and extended his arms outwards.

“Oh, really?” Lawrend asked.

He furrowed his eyebrows and lifted his chin up.

“Are you the man that impregnated her? How much do you want?”

He opened his hand to Lawrend as if he was telling him that he can ask for anything.

“A Plant Grand Mage. Not bad. The last time I killed one was a year ago,” Lawrend said as he looked at Meno calmly.

“Hoh? You can tell my strength and element? Are you her representative?”

Meno’s gaze at Lawrend changed. He looked at him seriously.

“Let’s go, Humility. Talking with an insect will only sour my mood. There’s nothing he can do anyway,” Lawrend said casually.

He grabbed Humility’s hand. The smile on her face was one of love and excitement.

“Yes, Master!”

Humility ignored Meno and followed Lawrend.

“Fufufufu. You’re lucky Master doesn’t want to stir up trouble,” Aezel said as she passed by Meno.

“You…”

Meno bubbled in anger.
