Chapter 240 - Cap 239: Arrival In The Village Of Jana

We've been traveling for five days and we still haven't arrived in Jana's village, during this time I took the opportunity to train with some skills that I was very curious about, among these skills the one that made my heart beat faster was "Dragon Wings" already that it would allow me to fly through the skies. 

I tried to identify all my new skills but unfortunately, I couldn't, it seems that Dragons skills cannot be identified at the current level of my skill, the only one I got was the skill [ Fly: 1 ], it seems that this skill does not allow you fly, this skill refers to how well you can fly, in other words, this skill alone is useless if the person or monster doesn't have a way to fly by itself. 

The first time I activated my Dragon wings I found they are very similar to Nix's, my wings are bigger than I expected and hard to move, it took me two whole days just to get used to moving the wings, my mind couldn't process the movement of something I've never had before. 

These are large bat wings covered in black crystal scales with sparkles inside the scales, the best thing is that these wings turn into energy and enter my body when I disable the skill, this skill also doesn't seem to have any energy cost, but I feel like if I could use my mana or Ki on the wings to strengthen them. 

My only regret is that even after five days I still can't fly, the only thing I can do is glide a few meters or float when I put mana in my wings, flying is harder than I thought it would be, but I'll keep training, flying is the everyone's dream. 

Now I was lying on a beautiful lawn in the mansion's garden while looking at the sky that was starting to darken, I was exhausted from training with my wings all day. 

"I will resume the journey now master."  (Nix) 

Just as the sky has gone completely dark, I hear a voice coming from my shadow. 

"It's been days, can you tell me how much time is left?"  (I) 

"The reason for the delay is because Dora got off track four times, but it looks like we're on the right track this time."  (Nix) 

"Dora said with my speed we should get closer to dawn."  (Nix) 

"Finally, I'm tired of being stuck indoors."  (I) 

"You can always go out a little, the others also take turns going out during the day."  (Nix) 

"I can't do that, I still don't have complete control over my Aura, if I leave we could be noticed for a moment of carelessness."  (I) 

"I've been training my Aura control, so I'm getting more familiar with it, I've been able to control my Aura to some extent, but I still can't suppress it inside me completely, I'll train a little more."  (I) 

"I'm sure you will soon enough."  (Nix) 

"Irina told me that you've been training every day with your wings, how's it going?"  (Nix) 

"Difficult, it took me days just to learn to move these wings, it also took me days just to get off the ground."  (I) 

"That's because you're not used to it yet, with time and practice you will learn the strength needed to get off the ground, how to move the wings while flying, and how to increase or decrease speed."  (Nix) 

"I've also had trouble learning to fly in the past, this sort of thing gets better with practice, so the master will be flying at will so relaxed when he's walking."  (Nix) 

"I hope so, I don't want to crash into trees or fly low anymore, I want to fly through a sky full of stars in a calm and relaxed way."  (I) 

I'm sure Nix is ​​right, at the moment I'm like a baby bird trying to learn how to use its wings, just like human babies have problems when they're learning to use their legs and walk, all I need to do is keep training and then fly It will be as natural to me as walking.

Pov Elsaris: 

Everything has been unbelievable in the last few days, I have searched for centuries for a way to cure my sister and now I have found someone who can do it and the only thing he asks in return is that I become his servant, this is very easy for me since he doesn't treat his servants and followers badly. 

Over these days I've seen how he treats everyone, he treats them like family or friends, seeing how Zenos interacts with his group reminds me of the way my sister and I were in the past, I never thought I'd see that kind of scene again. 

"I heard them talking, looks like we'll make it by dawn."  (Beatriz) 

"That's great, I was getting tired of standing around, there's nothing to do in here."  (I) 

"In the city of Valen I was always very busy all the time because of the Black Market work, but here I have nothing to do."  (I) 

"That's why you don't leave this room, if you left to interact more with others it would be better."  (Beatriz) 

"Last night we spent the night playing cards, I found out that one of Zenos' employees is very good, his name is Nolan."  (Beatriz) 

"Were you betting?"  (I) 

"No, it was just a friendly game, it was fun, I haven't had this much fun in decades."  (Beatriz) 

"On the Black Market we could never let our guard down, but here we can relax and be ourselves, everyone here is so cheerful and friendly."  (Beatriz) 

"I know that, but I'm very anxious to be able to talk to my sister again, now that it's not long to heal her, I can't wait any longer, everything I've suppressed for centuries seems to want to come out, all the longing, anxiety, love, anger, sadness and despair I felt."  (I) 

"I feel like I'm going to lose control, I'm not very stable at the moment."  (I) 

"All the more reason to try to interact more with others, it will help you distract yourself a little, being alone won't help you, Mom."  (Beatriz) 

"Thanks for the advice, you and Jay are always helping me."  (I) 

"Speaking of Jay, where is he?"  (I) 

"Training with the Dark Elf by the name of Sophia, she is a good warrior and her way of fighting is similar to Jay's."  (Beatriz) 

"He said training with her reminds him of when he was a kid and training with her friend, I've never seen him so relaxed and happy before."  (Beatriz) 

"Aren't you the same way too?"  (I) 

"I saw you talking to one of the White Elves, you looked very happy."  (I) 

"Her name is Caryna, she is the daughter of another White Elf by the name of Freya and her husband is the Beastman of the Lion tribe by the name of Leo."  (Beatriz) 

"Looks like you already know everything about her."  (I) 

"I've never met anyone like her before, talking to her is fun, she's very sincere and innocent, she's also very kind to everyone."  (Beatriz) 

"She's always smiling, all she does is thinking about how to please those around her, I've never met anyone like that even before I turned into a Rogue."  (Beatriz) 

"People like that are rare, but they are also fragile, anything shakes them emotionally."  (I) 

"I can't say that yet, maybe she's different."  (Beatriz) 

"All I know is that I liked this place and I'm sure you will too, Mom."  (Beatriz) 

"I'll try, among them there's someone that even I consider talented."  (I) 

"Are you talking about Nira?"  (Beatriz) 

"Yeah, the only reason I wanted to get rid of her was because of the cursed energy she's accumulated over years of evaluating cursed items."  (I) 

"She wouldn't survive long, but I couldn't release her either, I tried to sell her at auction in hopes of being valued for her skill and well taken care of."  (I) 

"It worked, Zenos and her group bought her."  (Beatriz) 

"Yes, at that time I was inclined to turn her into a Rogue just like I did with you, but I couldn't."  (I) 

"You must be the only Matriarch with only two family members, all out of fear as usual."  (Beatriz) 

"The image of sealing my sister in that crystal using my blood always comes up when I think about turning someone, you and Jay were special cases that happened in the heat of the moment."  (I) 

"But you two are very talented, Jay is very good at combat and you have a shrewd business mind, you are an excellent thief and spy, you couldn't have gotten better children for our line of work."  (I) 

"I think that's why Zenos accepted us, from what we've learned so far, he needs people to gather information."  (Beatriz) 

"Yes, the only one he has is the Gray Elf named Kira, but she seems inexperienced yet, she has a lot of potentials, but we have centuries of experience in that."  (I) 

"She can't work alone either, work in groups is faster and more accurate."  (I) 

"Now enough talking, let's eat something, these Elves' food is amazing."  (I) 

"OK let's go."  (Beatriz) 

This place is great, my daughter is right, living here will be much better than living to hide and working with things that even I don't agree with, working in the black market can be lucrative and I can have access to a lot of information, but it's not at all aggravating, the things I saw and did there cannot be erased from my mind. 

But this place is amazing, a base inside a mobile dungeon, besides working for the dungeon master, I never thought something like this would happen, Zenos seems a bit inexperienced and naive at times but most of the time he is a mystery to me. 

The way he talks, acts, and thinks is strange, he seems to do things not for benefit but simply out of fun or curiosity, but still, he always acts rationally and thinks deeply about what he is going to do. 

I can't tell if he is someone who gets carried away by emotions or is someone rational, the way he thinks is also strange, look at this group full of different races and with different abilities. 

Normally bringing people so different together would be impossible, but somehow he did it, he does a lot of strange things, I can't predict anything about him, just now I was talking to my daughter while I was seeing him through the window with strange and beautiful wings with scales of black crystal, from the way he's been training it looks like he acquired these wings a short time ago. 

---------- 

At dawn the next day I was in the living room eating fruit and reading a book when Jay walks in and comes over to say something close to my ears before he leaves. 

"Looks like we've arrived, let's see how this village that Zenos came to help is doing."  (I)
