Leo and the others quickly moved inside the Yellow forest.

Along the way, they had seen a few Magical Beast such as Yellow Fur Wolf, Yellow Rat, Yellow skinned Lizard, Yellow Tusk Boar, and the many more inhabiting the Yellow Forest.

All the names of the Magical Beast were purposely added to the word 'Yellow' by the people of Silver Kingdom not just because the Magical Beast lived inside the Yellow Forest, but also because they all have this distinct yellow-colored part in their bodies.

Yellow Forest was a mysterious place with a unique environment that allows all the living and nonliving to change or to have the common color yellow in some part of any inhabitant's body. This then made all those who had walked inside the Yellow Forest change or to have a yellow color, except for the Humans. For example, when a Silver Fur Wolf goes inside the Yellow forest, it will quickly change into a Yellow Fur Wolf.

This has remained an unsolvable mystery in the Silver Kingdom until this moment. No one had yet discovered the reason behind it, but they had come into a theory that it may have been related to the Yellow ores that they have discovered from the caves inside the Yellow Forest.

The Yellow ores are minerals as hard as Iron ores, however, unlike Iron ores, Yellow ores can enhance the effect of anything with Fire Element. This effect could also be seen through the 1 Star Magical Beast living in the Yellow Forest, since all of them were capable of using Fire Element related spells.

Along the way, although Leo had seen a few different Magical Beast nearby, they were still fortunate enough to be able to successfully detour around them.

Fighting all the Magical Beast would consume too much of their time, energy, and Mana, which would surely cause them trouble later on.

Moreover, fighting would only attract more attention towards them, they would not only be attracting other Magical Beast around in such case, but they might also attract those escorting groups that they had escaped from. To be honest, they were still not sure whether they had successfully escaped from those people or not.

Also, it was much better to be safe than sorry...

"Hey Leo, what kind of Magic spell did you used to allow yourself to fly on the air for a short time?" Veronica suddenly came close and asked.

"I casted a Wind Board and a double layer Wind Dash on the first Magic spell." Leo replied quickly. It was obviously a bluff, but it was a reasonable bluff.

Leo had read about such Magic spells before. It was the type of Magic spells that enable those Mages who major in Wind Mana or Magic spells to fly through the air. Wind Board would be the acting tool, and the Wind Dash would then allow the Wind Board to move around the air, which is really the same as what Leo had done.

However, those Mages would usually also add an enhancement such as a Directive Movement or a Tracer enhancement, to allow them to control the movement of the Wind Board, hence they can move from one location to another easily. Without such enhancement, they would only fly in a straight line until the Mana use in the Magic spell is finally exhausted, such as what happened to Leo.

"What! You're capable of Speed casting?!" Veronica exclaimed in astonishment. Only through speed casting could a Mage be able to cast two or more spells at the same time.

"Triple Layer Casting!" Leo corrected before motioning them to change to another direction. He had noticed traces of Bear prints and claw marks in front of them, so he quickly warned everyone to change direction. He can't afford to meet those Bears or also known as Fire Bears, since those Magical Beast were One Star Magical Beast. The prints and claw marks were the Fire Bears' way of marking their own territory. Moving inside would surely enrage those territorials Magical Beast.

"What!!" Veronica exclaimed in shock after hearing 'Triple Layer Casting' from Leo. After all, he was still young, but yet he was already capable of doing a Triple Layer Casting. A unique casting technique done by a young student was still something she had unheard about.

"I was also shocked when you casted a spell. I wasn't informed that you are actually a Mage!" Leo said, quickly changing the topic.

Lady Veronica let out a short laugh before she replied, "I thought I was famous, hehehe..."

"Oh, I didn't know..." Leo indeed didn't know about it. In fact, he only got to know the information about the Honoris Noble Household the last night.

It wasn't because he was ignorant or the likes. The truth was, his focus was only on the cities of the Southern region of Silver Kingdom. Hence, although he has spies gathering information for him around the entire Silver Kingdom, he would just shove those reports to the back of his drawer the moment it was anything related to the Northern region of Silver Kingdom. Unless, of course, if it's related to the Snow Noble Household.

Leo suddenly motioned for everyone to stop.

"Let's take a rest before moving further ahead. I hope that we will be fortunate enough to travel halfway through the Yellow forest before the nightfall." Leo said before crossing his leg beside a yellow tree to take a rest.

They had already been running through the Yellow Forest for more than an hour now, so taking a break was a must in case of any possible dangers they would meet along their way.

.....

Meanwhile, the group of soldiers that was escorting Veronica has finally noticed that the Lady had disappeared.

The Leader wore an ugly expression on his face before he ordered one of the soldiers to check the guards' wagon that Leo's group was riding.

"Go check the guards' wagon!"

"Sir, they had also disappeared!" The soldier that went to check quickly exclaimed in panic.

"Spread out! Look for them quickly, surely they can't be that far from us yet. You! Go and inform the Black Bees about the current situation, now!" The leader quickly ordered before taking the ten soldiers towards the Yellow forest.

The soldier that was ordered to look for the men of the Black Bees could only gulp nervously before walking away.

Obviously, the chauffeur that received one gold coin from Leo was also killed in order to avoid any possible trouble.

It was really out of the Leader's expectations that Lady Veronica would notice their plan. In the first place, there shouldn't be any chances that she would know about it since they were planning all about it secretly. Unless, of course, if someone had betrayed them and had told the Lady beforehand, which was also something unlikely to happen since everyone was a secret member of the Black Bees.

It was really out of everyone's expectations that Veronica had eavesdropped when the Butler was communicating with the other Black Bees members.

.....

At this moment, after resting for half an hour, Leo and the others finally started running again. They naturally didn't know that their plan was already exposed, but they surely knew that they will be found out, eventually. So, the farther distance they could create from their group to the escorting soldier, the better.

Unfortunately, though, the night was already fast approaching after a few hours of running.

Leo and the others could only find a cave with no inhabitants living inside to take a rest and spend the night.

Traveling through the night is something that Leo and his group were incapable of doing, yet. Although all of them were Mages, it was still impossible for them to do it. After all, despite being Mages, all of them weren't One Star Mages yet, so they don't have the Mana storage in their body.

This Mana storage was the same as those from Magical Beast, it is a storage for Mana. Having a Mana storage would allow the Mages to not always rely on the Pure Mana around their surrounding to convert an Element Mana for their Magic spells, since they will have a Mana storage that will constantly supply them with these Pure Mana. Hence, there is no need for the first step of casting a Magic spell.

With Leo and his group's level, they could only use the Pure Mana around their surrounding to convert an Element Mana when casting a Magic spell which would, in turn, consume their energy. They were not machines, so every energy consumed would naturally make them feel tired.

So, in conclusion, if they indeed travel through the night, then it would just be akin to suicide. All of them were long aware that all the Magical Beast would be more active in the night compared to the day.

With those thoughts in everyone's mind, they didn't disagree with Leo's plan to take a rest and to only continue the journey the next day.
