A cool wind blew through the trees, swaying the waist-deep green grass on the abandoned roads on the outskirts of Garlix Mountain.

Red got new clothes from Fefe's owners, they were a little baggy on her, but they were better than the Sabber shirt she was wearing, they were peasant clothes, so they could travel peacefully.

Now she was wearing a white shirt, with a big V-neck and that the sleeve went to a little after the elbow, because it was too wide, Red must tie at the ends, leaving part of her belly exposed, and dark green pants, which brought a more naturalistic look, and stood out with the tones of Red's hair and eyes, which were very red.

Sabber was already calmer, and calm, he watched Red from time to time, it was the first time he was traveling with someone, it was a little strange for him, but he tried as much as possible not to show nervousness, the 200 luxols of the mission would be a great help to him at that moment, he could buy some books on Rousex's botany and pay a few nights at some lodging near the guild, until he organized himself and went to the Rareface mountains, in search of the next dragon temple, to try to make Red to revert to her true form, when Sabber looked at Red, she was looking very nervous for some reason.

"What's up? Are you feeling okay? You have a strange face" Sabber spoke without showing that he was worried.

Red looked at Sabber seriously, after a while in silence and said "I can't believe it, if I had my wings we would have already crossed the Kingdom, we've been walking for almost one day, I hope it's not always like this" Red was in silence practically the entire time that they left that cave, she only exchanged a few words with Fefe's owners and ate a plate full of stew, she has a voracious appetite, as she repeated the dish 4 times.

"I think that after we get more resources we can buy a mount, or even pay a transport with a merchant and his wagon, depending on the location there are "trains" powered by magic, they are very useful too, but they are not available in all cities" Sabber tried to cheer her up and make her hopeful.

"Wait a minute, more resources? How many resources do you have anyway?" It seems that Red had a little understanding of the market, but she still wasn't used to the world where Sabber lived.

"At the moment we only have the money I got from the Bluezal family, I think we could spend a few days in town with that, but I wouldn't be able to buy a mount right now" Sabber was trying to get away from the subject, although he was also tired from the distance covered.

"I don't believe!!!" Red gave an enraged scream that echoed through the clouds.

"How could I be cursed like that! by a person like you! no magic, no strength, a total beginner!" Red was screaming out loud and some flames came out of her mouth as she screamed

"Look! Your magic power is really increasing!" Sabber spoke happily to Red.

"Do not change the subject!" She screamed in Sabber's direction, nearly burning him with flames.

"Careful, don't yell at me, I don't have fire resistance" Sabber was sweating a lot, by nervosism, she was already much more powerful, and that worried him.

"Tell me a little about these mounts, I don't think we have that in our world" Red still very nervous, there was a vein popping out of her forehead, but she tried to change the subject.

"Mounts can be earned, if you manage to tame a wild beast and use it as a mount, if you get that, you can ride the beast anywhere, but you need to pay for some stable outside the city to take care of your mounts, that's still demand a lot of money, or you can buy a mount, the most common are the chococo, they are three meters tall birds, they can be raised on a farm, that's why they are the most used" Sabber made a different face when teaching something, he seemed more mature than normal
