Chapter 56 Tricked

Shaman and Elysia had started to make their way towards the west gate of Cholden towards the stables.

"Despite all this magic, they still have very inefficient ways of travel." Shaman figured they would have teleport magic that would allow them to instantly go to places.

"I think it is because there is not enough magic to supply such a thing, since we use our own mana there isn't a source of power to allow for teleportation since magic is not widely available to the average person." Elysia recalled information from some of the books she scanned into her brain and tried to come up with a plausible reason.

"I guess when people spend years specializing in one type of magic, it becomes hard to branch out to other things." Shaman felt it was reasonable but could seem to shake the feeling that something was fishy about it.

"Well not much we can do plus what says that we can't learn it ourselves." Elysia knowing how the system made learning things a lot easier was not a far fetched idea that they would be able to teleport themselves.

"You are an actual genius, Elysia." Shaman was amazed by what Elysia said but also felt stupid since it was a rather easy conclusion to come too.

"I can also confirm that you can learn spatial magic." Rea chimed in since she is the system herself and can confirm what is and what's not possible.

"Well that confirms but I assume that is something we won't be able to unlock till the future since I did not even see it in the skill list." Shaman was happy but also realized it was far out of reach and is something that they will most likely achieve until they are a much higher tear.

"Do not fret, all you have to do is work hard." Rea tried to encourage Shaman but Shaman still felt a little depressed at how far that goal was.

"One day Elysia we shall travel across the planet in a flash." Shaman looked at Elysia pleading for comfort as the use of a teleport would make things so much easier.

"Let's not think about it and hurry up and get a move on." Elysia was also feeling the same way but was trying to think about it.

They both continued to make their way to the stable with Wolfy exploring the streets while also keeping guard from any dangers.

"I have visualized 2 fox girls who match the description." A man in a brown hood could be seen on the roof of the house near Shaman and Elysia.

"Good now you need to tail them and find out where they are going." A voice was heard coming from a stone which had a magic circle engraved on it.

"But I could capture them right here and now." The brown hooded man let out some killing intent and was getting ready to pounce put the voice from the stone resounded out.

"NO! If you do that you can ruin the whole operation and we would need to search for them again." The man sounded furious and the brown hooded man backed down instantly.

"okay." The brown hooded man restrained himself and listened.

"Good now make sure you do not lose sight of them." The connection to the stone seemed to be cut off.

"damn it, they are just tier 3 fox girls, how hard could it be." The man scoffed and continued to watch passively from the sidelines.

**

'We are being followed.' Shaman was able to pick up killing intent behind but was unable to pinpoint where.

'Rea do not say anything to Elysia, it seems like they are not here to kill us but to follow.' Shaman was not sure but due to how brief she felt the killing intent the person following them must have been stopped from continuing, so either they are going to follow them or capture them.

'Alrighty' Rea compiled and kept quiet about it.

'If they want to follow us I guess I could lead them the wrong way and give them a false clue.' Shaman thought of ideas to try to find a way to mislead or trick them into going somewhere else.

After thinking on it, Shaman came to the conclusion to give them a fake map of where they are going to mislead them and give them false information which should hopefully allow them enough time to get stronger.

Shaman pulled out a clean map which confused Elysia but paid no attention since it was normal to double check the route they were going.

Shaman got to work and started to add fake notes to the map and highlighted a city called first of the fourth which was in a similar direction but went further into the Elysium empire .

'Alright, this should do it.' Shaman was happy with her work and as a way to not seem suspicious she latched onto Elysia's arm and pretended to put the map in her pocket but actually dropped it. This also distracted Elysia so she would not get suspicious and so their followers could pick up without an issue.

**

"Are they not meant to be in a dungeon? Why the hell are they on this side of the city." The man was getting impatient and was wondering why their daily schedule was different today.

"They do not look like they are moving so they must not be leaving." The man continued to follow them, still trying to figure out why they had gone to the edge of the city.

The man silently continued to observe them and noticed the white hair fox pulling out a map of sorts.

"Are they planning to move?" The man got a little worried as he needed to obtain that information as soon as possible so they could deploy more people in that area and catch them when they arrived.

"Only if I could pounce right now!" The man was getting frustrated but he knew he would get harsh punishments if he went against orders.

To his surprise though the white hair girl latched onto the black haired one and dropped the map she was holding by accident. The man did not waste time as it was crucial intel and made his way closer and went to snatch it as soon as the 2 girls were far enough away.

"You dumb bitch." The man was mocking the girl as the information he was getting would lead them to their capture.

He dashed out and picked up the map in one swift motion and instantly went back into hiding.

"Now let's see where you are heading." The man opened up the map and could see the markings and notes that were scribbled on the map.

"I see that they are heading to the first of the fourth, a historical city." The man had a mad grin on his face and his mission was complete.

"Although I would like to do the job myself, this intel should be enough to impress that old man." The Brown hooded man stopped following the girls and contacted someone through the stone.

"Why are you calling me so soon, you better have something good to tell me." The man on the other side did not sound impressed.

"Do not worry, I just got a map from the girls of their next location and I will be sending it your way shortly." The hood man sounded proud and was ready to leave.

"Good work, I expected a failure but for once you have done something good, hurry up so we can get this over with." The connection was cut off and the brown hooded man quickly made haste away from the area.

On the other hand Shaman could not hold her laughter as she was imagining how the enemy is going to react when they find out that the information she gave them is useless and get baited.

"What's so funny?" Elysia was confused as Shaman had started to cling onto her and started laughing and was unsure what was going on.

"Nothing, just remembering what you said in your sleep." Shaman came up with an excuse that somewhat sounded reasonable.

"Wait what, tell me what did I say." Elysia was now curious as she wondered if any of her true desires came out while she was talking.

"Well now that is a secret for me to enjoy." Shaman had a grin and could see the confusion and curiosity on her face.

"Rea please tell me." Elysia thought she could get the information from Rea since she is rather honest.

"Sorry but Shaman told me not to tell hehe~." Elysia looked at Shaman in disbelief but all she got back in return was Shaman sticking her tongue out at her.

"PLEASE TELL ME." Elysia shook off Shaman and began to chase her the rest of the way to the stable with Wolfy following behind them thinking they were playing a game.
