CHAPTER 388

Even though Andrew had already decided to travel to the kingdom of Tampilla, he did not leave immediately. He wanted to wait until Castor, Vala, and Shadow's agents arrived at Calci City and reported.The reason was simple, when their trip began, it would be difficult to communicate with them and if nothing extraordinary happened, it would still take them about a month to reach Tampilla, but the most important reason was that Andrew wanted to spend time with his children before leaving.

These trips meant that he could not see them for a long time and at the age of his children, their father's absence could cause future problems. Oliver also had to do the same with his son.

In this way, the trip was delayed 3 days. At that moment a messenger falcon arrived from Castor saying that they had arrived at the city of Calci. The message did not say anything more.

Andrew sent a reply informing Castor of his trip and that if he needed anything he should contact one of his wives, but that he would be away for approximately a month.

With all this defined, Andrew prepared everything he needed for the trip and left accompanied by Oliver. This time only the two of them would travel, since it would be faster, and although it was more dangerous since there were only two of them, they were the most powerful at the moment in the Heavenly Palace, so it was the best option.

Unlike last time, they didn't have to sneak out with Aki's ability, but instead left the city like any normal person. Obviously, everyone who was paying attention immediately noticed their departure and started making plans.

Some wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that he was not in the Palace of Cannaris, to infiltrate and discover its secrets, but those who thought like that were the biggest idiots of all.

Everyone who knew anything about Andrew knew that he had a way of appearing and disappearing. However, they had noticed that he only did it inside the Cannaris Palace, so everyone thought that the ability to teleport was in the establishment, so attacking there was a stupid move.

Those who knew this preferred a more aggressive approach and that was to pursue Andrew and Oliver. Although this idea was good, it only applied if you were stronger than them or you would only be looking for death.

However, not everyone knew the strength level of Andrew and Oliver. They all thought that Andrew was just a rich guy and that Oliver was a minor or intermediate expert at best.

The only information they had was on Oliver when he fought against the 5 experts that Vocgo had hired and who were now Andrew's subordinates. However, that was not all of Oliver's strength and that is why many were wrong in evaluating Oliver's power.

It wasn't long before several groups of pursuers caught up with Andrew and Oliver. There were about 4 groups of 3 to 5 people in each group. They weren't working together, but they showed up at the same time because they didn't want another group to take their prayers.

Oliver looked seriously at the enemies and evaluated their power. They were all experts, mostly low-level, but in each group, there was one intermediate expert. Andrew also evaluated them, but he wasn't as good as Oliver at this.

Understanding the level of the enemies, Oliver smiled, as he knew that he could destroy them with ease. Although many low-level experts could hold back a stronger expert, that was if the difference in powers was not great and in this case it was.

Plus, they were far from the city, so Oliver didn't have to hold back. Andrew didn't even have to give the order and Oliver didn't even wait for the enemies to speak, from one moment to the next, he disappeared and the next second he was behind the back of one of the intermediate experts.

To be more exact, he was the most powerful expert present. Everyone was surprised to see Oliver's speed and when they saw how with a single blow Oliver pierced his enemy's back, passing through his entire body, everyone turned pale.

At that moment, they understood that they had misjudged Oliver's strength, however, they were battle veterans. They knew they couldn't escape, so they made the best decision and that was to attack Andrew.

It was a common tactic, to attack the weakest of the group and in this particular case it was much more successful, since Andrew was Oliver's young master, if they managed to capture him, Oliver could not move.

Unfortunately for them, Andrew was not as weak as it looked like. While he was not powerful enough to defeat the remaining intermediate experts, he had enough strength to avoid being captured.

Seeing Andrew's ability to escape, all the attackers had a dark expression on their faces, knowing that they had made the wrong move.

With Andrew running away like a scared rabbit, Oliver was able to move freely as he didn't have to worry about Andrew being captured. Also, in a way Oliver wanted Andrew to experience the hardships of the outside world just like Castor.

The best way to improve is through danger, so it was a good experience for Andrew. While Andrew is not a candidate for combat god, there is not a single god who does not know how to fight.

Although each god had dominion over him, even the society of the gods was mediated by force, so all the gods could fight and there was not a single god weaker than a mortal.

For this reason, Andrew experimenting and learning how to fight was not bad, but quite the opposite. Certainly, he would have a harder time learning than combat god candidates, but he would still be faster than any mortal.

As Andrew dodged and watched as Oliver took out the enemies one by one, he began to remember when he received the system. Back then, the system had told him that he had no combat capabilities, but now that he had released two divine seals, things had changed.

In less than half an hour, Oliver had killed all the opponents. Despite the bloody scene that could be seen, Oliver did not have any blood stains on him, this is an example of the great difference in powers that existed.

What they did not know was that above the clouds, Arturios was observing them carefully. He had suspicions about Andrew and Oliver since he felt divinity the last time and that's why he came to look, but when he saw that neither of them was a demigod, he said to himself, "Could it be that the demigod is still in the brothel?".

Andrew and Oliver did not notice Arturios in the sky, as they were much weaker than him and it was impossible for them to detect him. Andrew perhaps could have found him if he used his divinity to scan the area, but he had learned the lesson of not showing his divinity so often.

It was this bad practice that had cost him trouble in the elf forest and Star City, so, if it was not necessary, he would not show his divinity as easily as before.

Having finished off their enemies, they both set out on their journey again. Arturios did not follow them anymore, because he believed that the person he was interested in was not one of them, and that saved them from problems.

The rest of their trip was calm until they reached a small town near the capital. There they rested in an inn and bought horses to facilitate the trip since they could not run to the kingdom of Tampilla.

While it was true that experts could move at high speeds, this required energy and no one was stupid enough to tire themselves out running, without taking into account the future dangers they might encounter.

Although it was a little slower, the horse ride was more comfortable. In a week they managed to reach the outskirts of the black forest where the Amazons lived. As it was getting dark when they arrived, they preferred to camp on the outskirts of the forest and cross it in the morning.

If the day in the black forest was dark, at night it was impossible to cross it. It is said that only the Amazons could move through this forest at night. The stories say that not even the forest elves are capable of that.

Andrew and Oliver's idea of camping at night seemed to be shared by many, as caravans of merchants could be seen nearby setting up camp for the night.

Although the black forest is dangerous, it was an obligatory passage between the kingdom of Tampilla and the empire of Cannaris, so there was a safe and commercial route, which had been agreed between the two countries with the Amazons and normally there were no dangers.

In normal times, this road was as safe as any in the kingdom of Tampilla or the empire of Cannaris, but Oliver and Andrew had approached some caravans to inquire and discovered that the current situation was not so safe.

According to what they heard from the merchants, the Amazons were in hunting season. This occurred once a year and rotated between seasons, that is, one year it was spring, the next it was summer, the next it was in fall, and finally it was winter.

Turns out now being fall was the time this year. The hunting season of the Amazons was a simple test that was given to young warriors to test their strength.

It consisted of going out into the forest without protection and hunting some forest beasts. Obviously, any creature wasn't enough, it had to be a powerful beast, and the more powerful the better.

This did not mean that the safe route was closed, but since there were many young Amazons hunting in the forest, it was not unusual for some wild beasts to appear on the path being traveled, causing problems.

Simply put, there was a chance that wild beasts would appear in the middle of the road when they crossed the forest. Andrew and Oliver hoped they wouldn't have bad luck, but mother luck is always treacherous to them when they need her most.
