After leaving the Navary Kingdom I went from shadow to shadow of the people in my group that I thought were not known, after 1 month of travel we finally arrived at the Haffes Kingdom, a rural Kingdom that produces food for 1/4 of the continent.
This Realm has little military power, but it has agreements that make the surrounding Realms its protectors, in addition, this Realm is quiterge with many small Dungeons, this makes it a perfect ce for new Adventurers to stay.
I tried to avoid the capital and chose a city where a lot of ingredients pass through before heading to the capital, besides it is close to some SSS Grade Dungeons, so there are too many Adventurers here so I don''t draw attention to my group.
---------
In a rented house, overnight.
"They should arrive in 1 or 2 weeks." (I)
"That would be nice, but it could take longer." (Karina)
"Why do you say that, we have yet to find an Elf Vige with a World Tree for me to safely evolve." (I)
"My body still hasn''tpletely gotten used to its power, 6 days ago I awakened the pure element of metal, that shouldn''t even be possible." (Karina)
"That should be good news." (I)
"My body is being remade because of me being your Dragon Priestess, I''m afraid of what will happen to me when you evolve." (Karina)
"I haven''t even awakened an affinity with the element of space yet." (Karina)
"So what do you n to do." (I)
"Speed ??up the process." (Karina)
Karina takes a pile of potions out of her storage item, as soon as I see the color and smell the faint odoring out of those ss bottles, I know exactly what potions these are.
"That amount of potions..." (I)
"You''re not passing..." (I)
"I''ve already talked to érica and the others, they understand what I''m going to do and they''ve epted, we have a lot of stamina potions and we''re only going to stop to eat and sleep." (Karina)
"Wait, we have a lot to do in this Kingdom, we are also waiting for Lilian to return with her family and the arrival of the people of the Navary Kingdom with our products." (I)
"Freya will take care of the things of this Kingdom and will get everything you ever nned, Nira and Ivan will take care of the people of the Navary Kingdom, Vanessa and Irina will get Lilian''s report when she arrives, besides the soundproof barrier is already in ce around the house." (Karina)
"But the others..." (I)
"The others are in another rented house, we have this house all to ourselves, Caryna or someone else will drop by daily to bring the food." (Karina)
As she spoke, she also approached me with a smile that I normally only see érica doing, so she gives me a kiss As she takes me in her arms, the next thing I know I''m being carried like a princess up the stairs.

Pov Freya:
I was in the rented house, a small mansion that we''ll use as a base while we''re here.
I was in a room with Nira, Ivan, and Vanessa.
"So are you ready yet?" (I)
"Yes, Anton managed to make all the masks and Lilith made the curses." (Nira)
"They are simple but effective curses for this." (Ivan)
"But we still don''t have enough masks for everyone." (Nira)
"When I saw the list of necessary materials I knew I would be missing, how many have been made so far?" (Vanessa)<sub> </sub>
"Only 10 masks are ready and customized as requested." (Nira)
"So it''s 11 if you count Kira''s mask, she discovered many functions she didn''t know about as she got stronger." (I)
"The ones who need it most are these." (Vanessa)
Masks were being made without the master''s knowledge, we used scales and crystallized blood from him, along with skill cards from the Dungeons we entered, we also used various other types of metals and spells of the same type as the skill cards to enhance their effects.
These masks have the ability to hide the Aura, distort the voice, block normal tracking techniques and mostly block techniques to see the mask owner''s status.
These masks have some other resistance effects, but it also has a curse that only allows the person to remove the mask, no other person would be able to remove the mask.
Vanessa ces the list of people who will wear the mask on the table.
1. Irina
2. irius
3. Vanessa
4. Lilith
5. Elsari
6. Samira
7. Freya
8. Nira
9. érica
10. Diana
"The people on this list are going to take more active roles on this continent, we need to have more masks for others and try to create something for Father as well." (Vanessa)
"Is there any use in creating a mask for him? We all know we''re going to meet our pursuers sooner orter because of him." (Ivan)
"The mask can still give extra protection, the problem is his Aura is too strong, could the mask..." (I)
"Anton already said that none of these materials would be useful, what makes the mask capable of hiding our Auras is the Aura of the master contained in his blood." (Nira)
"So what do we do?" (I)
"The list the master gave Lilian to look for in the ck Market is exactly what we need, but he said wait for the evolution first, his Aura might change again by then." (Nira)
The master''s evolution is being a problem on everyone''s mind, but another problem is Loki and Silvia still haven''t awakened since their awakening ceremonies, months have passed and now I''m afraid of themotion that the awakening of an ancient Heretic God or a ex World Tree can create if they awaken here.
"How are Loki and Silvia doing?" (I)
"Athena visits the ce where Loki''s cocoon is often found and Silvia''s egg is still inside my Father''s blood pool." (Vanessa)
"No change in either of them." (Vanessa)
"When the master evolves can the same happen to them? As happened to the Infant Fairies in the past?" (Nira)
"I can''t say Loki, but Silvia''s egg will definitely be affected by the master''s aura when it explodes, but I don''t know if it will be enough to wake up." (I)
"We don''t know anything about what can happen in any situation we think about, I don''t like that." (Ivan)
"There''s not much we can do about it, it''s not situations we can predict." (Vanessa)
