I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

The next morning, Beth came out of the tent after sleeping well, and saw Bennett reading a book by the fire.

"I'm curious, what do you do after you and Sera are done? Get out of bed and read a book?"

"I can fall asleep in Sera's arms."

Beth curled her lips and said sarcastically:

"Well, I can fall asleep in my mother's arms, Bennett, I never grow up."

Bennett ignored Beth's sarcasm, took out the barbecue prepared by Denise from the scroll, heated it up and handed it to Beth. Beth took it, sat aside and started eating.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I have already eaten."

"Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"I'm studying the map."

Bennett unfolded the scroll in his hand. On it was a simple map of the empire, which only marked the approximate location of the city, the distance, and the iconic landforms. There was nothing else.

The magic blue light marked St. Petersburg on the map. Bennett pointed to the magic mark:

"Our location is here. Since there are no location markers or wizard towers, I can only teleport 50 kilometers at a time. From here to here, it will take about 7 or 8 times, and we should be there."

Beth looked at the abstract map in front of her with some resistance on her face. She took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Why don't we take the national highway? Your flight will only take a day at most."

"Why go with the slow stuff when there are faster stuff?"

Beth pointed to the map in front of her and said directly:

"Just because of this, I don't trust you."

"But all the maps on the market look like this, right?"

"Do you really have to buy maps of the Empire? You bought maps of St. Petersburg and the surrounding church cities, but you just bought a few more so you can see more."

Bennett looked speechlessly at Beth, who was a little agitated. According to the mage's way of thinking, there is a direction, to teleport as soon as possible, to finish the job early, to take Sera and Aimee back to Razlan, and to suffer on the journey, that is not what a mage should do.

"I didn't buy it anyway, so what's wrong with trying to teleport?"

"you……"

Beth didn't want to talk anymore. The two of them were not on the same channel. Beth had no way to control Bennett, so she had to grit her teeth and ask:

"Are you sure you won't teleport me into stone, or into the dirt, or have me pierced through by branches as soon as I come out?"

"I'm with you, what are you afraid of? I won't use you as a guinea pig."

Beth nodded with a grim smile. Bennett's words had already exposed his thoughts. If Beth didn't ask, then Beth would definitely be a guinea pig.

Beth went straight forward, put her arms around Bennett's neck like a good brother, and said:

"Okay, let's get started."

Bennett reluctantly folded up the tent, created a space crack in front of him, twisted his body, and said helplessly:

"How can I walk like this?"

"I'll take you away."

Beth grabbed Bennett's neck and dragged him towards the space crack.

But just as she took a step, she stepped into empty air. Beth quickly retracted her foot and grabbed Bennett's collar angrily, unable to hold back her anger:

"Is this all you've learned from the great wizard? I missed the target with my first step!"

Bennett grabbed Beth's arm armor and tried to pry it open several times, but it didn't budge.

"It was originally meant to be teleported into the air. There are too many problems with teleporting on the ground. Can't I just teleport directly in the air?"

"Can I fucking fly?"

"Can't I take you flying?"

……

Flying in the air feels good, but jumping in the air doesn't feel so good.

The continuous images rotate like a kaleidoscope, the height keeps changing, and birds flash by in front of you in an instant. This aerial flight through the bungee jumping machine is really not for humans to play.

Bennett is a wizard, and the magic core in his brain forces him to remain calm, so he won't have any reaction to weightlessness. But Beth doesn't have such a thing as a magic core in her brain, and she is too nervous, which exacerbates her reaction.

The result was that as soon as the two saw the shadow of the city, Beth vomited all over Bennett in the air.

Bennett had no choice but to put Beth down and go to the woods to change his clothes.

When Bennett came back, Beth had already dealt with her vomiting problem, but she was still leaning against a tree, gasping for breath, and did not look well.

Bennett had no choice. This situation was more of a psychological issue. To put it bluntly, Beth didn't trust Bennett. Once the scene changed, Beth had to retract her arms, which made Bennett's neck hurt.

"Take a break. I'll go get you some water. The next time you teleport, you can go directly to the city."

"No, I'm fine. No need to teleport. I can be there in a short walk."

Beth quickly stood up and jumped a few times on the spot to show that she was fine.

Bennett sighed and thought, forget it, it’s not far, there’s no need to make things difficult for Beth anymore.

"You take a rest. I'll go get some water and come over in a minute."

"Row."

As soon as Beth finished speaking, she leaned against the tree again.

……

After drinking the water, Beth's complexion improved significantly, and the two continued on their way.

Beth looked left and right along the way, with a helpless look on her face. When Bennett asked her what was wrong, she said nothing.

When he arrived at the city, Bennett looked at the merchants and carriages that kept pouring out, and he realized that he was going in the wrong direction. In a city managed by the church, there would be no fleeing merchants and subjects.

The city they wanted to go to was only a hundred kilometers away from this city. Bennett just deviated by a small angle, but the result was completely wrong.

"This... Beth, teleport at most twice, and make sure you reach the church city."

"No, 100 kilometers isn't far, we can just walk there."

Bennett looked at Beth who was resisting, and gave up the idea of ​​using teleportation to travel faster.

"Then let's buy a map. I'll fly with you the rest of the way. It will be much faster this way."

Beth looked at Bennett with fear, completely losing trust in him, and said directly:

"You don't have to buy it, I'll buy it and arrange the route."

"Um... that's fine."

Beth and Bennett walked around the city for an hour, passing through the crowds that kept pouring out of the city, before they found a hotel that was still open.

When I pushed open the door of the hotel, there was no one around the table inside.

An elderly couple came out to entertain them. Benny ordered some of the local specialties and started chatting with them amid their enthusiastic greetings.

"Didn't the old man hire a few shop assistants?"

"Well, there were some a few days ago, but the orc incident has been making a lot of noise recently. The mercenaries outside said that St. Petersburg was massacred by orcs. The clerk joined the merchant's caravan and left the city."

"Will there be a situation where we are too busy?"

"Alas, most of the people who come here to take care of business are small businessmen from other places. In the current situation, there are no businessmen from other places. Even the locals are fleeing."

"When will the old man leave? Do you need any help?"

"Alas, those who have enough strength have all left. We have lived here all our lives. We can't walk anymore and we don't want to leave. If we die here, we will be considered to have died at home. If we leave, we may never come back until we die."
