YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 413: The Town of Veltofar

FLAP FLAP FLAP WHOOSH

Clouds and dust drifted along the blue sky, flocks upon flocks of birds flapping their wings as they soared high from the ground. Their sweet chirps and lovely tweets rang out like a soft melody, waking up the morning world with the rising sun.

A new day has arrived and sunshine has graced the world once more. The horizon spanned several kilometers from left to right, shades of green, white, and blue dyeing the whole scene, vivid beauty and majesty gleaming from afar.

There were plains of green mountains of gray, and rivers of blue, filled with life as the nightly critters headed to slumber. The forest was no different, deers running around and birds hopping from branch to branch. Two figures appeared from the thickets.

"Waah～! So that's the Labyrinth of Thunder～! It sure is massive..." ［Yuna］

"Well, it's one of the Ten Great Labyrinths, after all. It isn't called 'Great' for nothing. And... Shouldn't you be used to such a sight now, Yuna?" ［Grey］

"Fufufu! But it looks a little different each and every time. I'm sure the inside will also look different! I'm correct, aren't I?" ［Yuna］

"Yeah... From what I know, it's the Labyrinth with the most traps and also one where sudden electrical discharges occur from the lightning veins coursing through it. It's one of the more dangerous Labyrinths, in my opinion." ［Grey］

It has been a couple of days since Grey and Yuna had their deer hunt in Alces, and ever since then, time has passed ever so slowly. It has been full of relaxing days, the two of them enjoying all sorts of venison dishes to their hearts' content.

Before long, it was finally time to depart, and rather than flying the lengthy distance
like they usually do, they decided to do some stretching and run instead. It was only about 200 kilometers, after all. They could use a bit of exercise.

It wasn't long before Grey and Yuna arrived in their next destination, greeted by a grand and majestic cavern from afar. It looked like a rocky mountain from afar, but if one were to take a closer look, it had a gaping entrance down to the eerie unknown with several dozen soldiers patrolling around it. It was the Labyrinth of Thunder.

"Ohh～! Lightning veins, that's new! I can't wait to see it!" ［Yuna］

"Normally, people would be scared, you know?" ［Grey］

But of course, such a dangerous labyrinth wouldn't be able to faze Yuna. Rather, she has become even more excited, wanting to see just how she would fare in a new and dangerous environment, curiosity making her blood boil with exhilaration.

And just a little distance from the Labyrinth were high walls, a dike surrounding it. It was the Town of Veltofar which supervises the Labyrinth of Thunder, and right now, it's in its busy periods, merchants and adventurers pouring in.

It hasn't been too long since the town was established, but Grey and Yuna heard that it was just as impressive as the City of Alces from before, a lot of places to explore and a lot of dishes to taste. They was an exciting prospects waiting to be experienced

"Mmn～! I can't wait to dive in! I wonder what kind of Boss lies inside! I'm sure they'll be strong, right?! Let's get stronger too, Grey! Let's reach theー" ［Yuna］

"Hold your horses now, Milady. There's still a month before it becomes active. It's a long wait ahead of us. You shouldn't get too excited." ［Grey］

"I know, I know... And during that whole month, I'll be going on lots and lots of dates with Grey! Let's have lots and lots of fun!" ［Yuna］
