The journey to Rento did not take long. It was near Embercoast, and Arthur had a tremendous speed to travel from place to place.

He traveled so fast that the people who were walking on the roads or inside the city could only see a shadow. Once he was there, in the city, a hooded figure was waiting for him in the city’s port.

It was one mage that would transport Arthur to the other continent.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, my lord. Please, come in and relax inside your room.”

The respect coming from that mage was clear. Melinda had told them about Arthur’s accomplishments, plus the mage was not dumb. He could sense the tremendous mana emanating from Arthur’s body, which only proved that he was a mage in a different realm than the rest of them.

“Thanks,” Arthur said.

There were lots of people inside that ship. Most were mages, but some were merchants that did not know about the mission, and were only going there to trade with the barbarians.

That continent was snowy during most part of the years, so there were lots of foods that did not grow there, which was why so many merchants traveled there to sell those types of goodies. It was a cheap item to produce, and it gave a good return.

Arthur did not care about any of that, and simply walked towards the master room of the ship.

In the deck, before Arthur entered the part of the ship where the rooms were, a tall, muscular merchant stopped him.

“So you are the person who will use the master room?” He said.

The tone that the merchant used was clearly aggressive, and he had a disgusted face after seeing the poor clothing Arthur had. Well, Arthur was on a secret mission, so he was not wearing fancy clothing like the rest of the mages or the merchants. He had a basic fur clothing that looked similar to the ones people used on the continent he was heading to, plus a cloak to hide his appearance.

“Yes, I am. Any problem with that?”

“I have, actually. I don’t see you being better than me.”

“Better than you? You are thinking too high of yourself to think that you can even compare to me, peasant.”

“What did you say?”

In the next moment, a punch came towards Arthur, who only moved his left hand, grabbing the merchant’s fist as it was nothing.

Arthur stared at the man and said, “this time I’ll forgive you, but do it again and you are dead.”

He exerted little strength, breaking all the fingers of that man’s hand. The merchant did his best to not yell and keep himself looking strong, but the fear inside him was too much. After that, Arthur passed through him and went towards the master room of the ship.

The master’s room had everything he could ever want. A large and soft bed, a fully magical bathroom with a hot-tub that was amazing, and some shelves with books to pass the time. Arthur missed the TV and wondered if he could one day create one with magic.

It was also somewhat far from the rest of the rooms to give him better privacy and avoid the unnecessary noise from the other passengers.

Melinda thought about everything when setting up that ship for him, which was nice.

With that peaceful environment, the days passed quickly. Arthur spent his days eating, meditating using his special technique from the Monlog bloodline, and also sleeping.

Sleeping was unnecessary at all for him, but it was a good thing to make the time pass faster, which was nice considering how boring it was to stay on a ship.

The merchant that tried to pick up a fight with him never said a word to him again and acted like a stray dog. All the others feared Arthur as well, only seeing him as a mysterious person who they should not mess up with.

Arthur enjoys it. That way no one came to bother him, and he could finally have a peace of mind, even if it would only last for a short period.

“We are here!” One mage said.

A continent called Salasia, and the place they were going to be one kingdom of that continent that had the name of Ragheroth.

The habitants of Ragheroth were rustic. Almost all of them were blond, and the men usually were tall, muscular, and had fine beards.

Arthur did not think he looked good with a beard, but he changed the color of his hair from black to blond using his spell. As for his height, well, it was not needed, as Arthur was naturally tall.

The city they were in was one of the biggest where most of the trading happened. Ships entered and left the city multiple times during the day, and no one cared about the ship Arthur came in.

“All right, let’s move.” Arthur thought.

He walked through the city, exploring it the most he could. The people there did trades just like any other place, but everyone had a fierce look in their eyes, and almost everyone carried weapons on their backs or hips.

Almost all people were fighters, even those who took care of farms or run a store inside a city. Arthur would act rather suspicious to ask those people lots of questions, so he found another way to get information, and that was to scan the memories of someone random.

The Ragheroth kingdom, and all the other kingdoms of that continent, were acting as if they intended to raid and invade the Phuvia kingdom. That was the reason Arthur was there, as Melinda had asked him to investigate it.

So, if it was before, then they would not mind someone from another place asking too many questions, but in those turbulent times, Arthur would look a lot like a spy, and that would make everyone go after him.

He explored the city and looked at the alleys where most of the homeless or thugs lived. It was the best spot to find someone to get some information, someone that no one would care about.

Most of the alleys had over one person, so it took Arthur some time to find one that had only one.

When he finally did, Arthur slowly walked behind that person and knocked him unconscious with an attack on the neck. After that, he grabbed the unknown thug and left the alley, not leaving a trace behind.

Arthur had the thug on his shoulders and teleported away from the city into the nearby forest. There was no place for him to stay with no one noticing his presence, so he thought it was the best to leave the city entirely.

The vegetation was way different from what he was used to, and who knows what type of creatures were in that place, so Arthur decided to quickly find some place to hide, and just like always, a cave was the perfect spot.

There were lots of bears around that city, so not that hard to find a cave with bears in it. Arthur cleaned up a cave before finally sighing in relief.

Now, it was time to use the same technique he used to see the memories of that giant. It would be a more extensive search this time, trying to learn everything the thug knew about the place he lived. For that reason, it would take a little longer to perform.

Not that it was a problem, that is. Arthur was alone in that cave, and he still had plenty of time, as he had just arrived on that continent.

So, he placed both of his hands in the thug’s head and channeled his mana, slowly scanning all the memories that man had.

Arthur was a powerful mage, so getting access to that much information was not a problem for him, whose brain was way better than the average human. It was way better than most mages, actually.

After staying in that position for at least half an hour, images flashed through his mind, showcasing all the things that had happened in that thug’s life. Some things not even the thug remembered, like the day he was born, and some memories from when he was little.

The thug had grown up in another city, somewhat far from where they were at that moment. So, he had plenty of information about the world, which was valuable for Arthur at that point.

He absorbed all the memories he felt were important, and left the thug in that cave.

“So it is like this. The giants are in a place only known in legends. How can I find it? Also, if I want to learn more about the invasion, I will have to leave this city and go towards the place where all the important figures are.”

Arthur did not see a reason to stay in that city, so he left. The place he was looking for was where the most prominent figures of that continent were, and also a place where he could get more information about the place where the giants could be living.
