Traveling in a straight line was faster than anticipated. Although we spent a lot of time recovering magic along the way, we still managed to return to Yars in less than two months.
Even though it was fast, I didn't plan on using this method of travel often. Despite wearing a windproof hood, the wind still blew my hair everywhere, and I worried if using Wind Magic too much might bring a curse. I felt like I had lost at least a dozen strands of hair over these two months; just thinking about it gave me a headache.
Upon returning to Yars, I parted ways with Izoruti, as she also needed to go home to report that she was safe.
When I arrived home, I went to find my grandfather immediately. Although it was already evening, my grandfather still granted me an audience.
I reported my growth over the past few years to my grandfather and informed him that I had now become a Water King-level Magician.
He appeared very pleased.
"Dorin, you'll be turning 15 by the end of this year, right?"
"Yes, Grandfather. I will turn 15 after my birthday this year."
"Yes, you are coming of age. Stay in Yars for a while. After your 15th birthday, you will need to take on the responsibilities of the Prodia Family. I will help you choose a suitable person to be your wife then."
"Yes, Grandfather." I had no intention of arguing with him, because I knew arguing now would be meaningless. I had my own plans.
After finishing my report with my grandfather, I returned to my room.
The maids were still the same few people. While preparing my bath, Anne asked me about Lilith's recent situation. I stated directly, "She died."
Anne and the other maids remained silent, but seeing their tightly pressed lips, I knew they were not entirely calm inside.
However, I wasn't exactly lying to them. In my heart, Lilith was already dead, but Doris was still alive, and she was waiting for my return.
Once I was in bed, my mind kept working. I carefully recalled the contents of the book I read when I was watching Mushoku Tensei.
The Teleportation Incident must have affected the entire Fittoa Territory, not just the city of Roa.
Among the people I knew, only Philip and my aunt Hilda should have died directly due to the Teleportation Incident.
Shauros was likely executed later during the accountability assessment, so the place he was teleported to shouldn't have been far, at least not unsafe. So, if I could just call Philip and Hilda to Yars, they should both be safe. Right, I don't know if Alice knows Rudeus. If she doesn't, being teleported alone to the Demon Continent would also be very dangerous for her. Just in case, I should call her over too.
Rudeus's family all survived, so they basically don't need my concern.
The rest were strangers I had never met. Although the novel didn't specify, the survival rate was probably very low, maybe less than 20%.
And this was also related to a person's strength. If it was a robust male, the possibility of surviving would likely increase. But if it was a child, survival would probably be impossible.
So, I could only save as many people as I could.
Alright, I'll do that.
Early the next morning, I wrote a letter to Philip, inviting him, my aunt, and Alice to Yars to attend my birthday. I also informed them they could come sooner.
Then, I put on the Guardian Knight uniform I hadn't worn in a long time and entered the palace.
