Chapter 280 Interference
Saeldir has read dozens of books.
One of the books was so thick and filled with so much information that he wouldn't use it. At least for this problem.
Of course, when he heard there was a bright light of clue about the tree, he would react almost on impulse.
But then after a few seconds had passed, Saeldir's brain was working fine again. And he came to a realization.
"(No. I think that's not a good idea,)" Saeldir said while shaking his head.
"(I think that's a good idea. Between the two of us, you know the most about that tree,)" Aurdis said.
"(But go to another world...)" Saeldir took a deep breath.
His eyes gazed forward. He was imagining how things would be when he was in that other world.
Aurdis knew what Saeldir was thinking. So many risks when they go to another world.
One of the biggest risks is when they can't use their power to the fullest.
Even the usual barrier Magic that could protect the Elves so that they were impenetrable by most attacks also lost its power in the other world.
That was enough to be a reason for them not to leave.
Saeldir is an Elf who thinks things through.
He was very meticulous and careful. For Saeldir, going to a place he didn't know about was stupid.
Aurdis understood why Saeldir could look so reluctant.
"(If you can't go, that's fine. I'll go there myself,)" Aurdis said understandingly.
Saeldir turned his head and looked at Aurdis.
"(After hearing what you just said, I won't be able to let you go alone.)"
"(So you're going too?)"
"(I have no choice. The fact that the Magic from that tree can get to Erend's world is a big problem. We need to quickly check it out.)"
"(Alright!)" Aurdis stood up from the chair. "(What should we prepare?)"
"(Just prepare what you brought to go to meet the Forest Elf at that time. Remember that we might face a battle there,)" said Saeldir.
Aurdis nodded. "(Just that?)"
"(The rest, let me do the preparation.)"
After that Aurdis came out of Saeldir's room.
She immediately went to her room to prepare herself.
Meanwhile, Saeldir also began to prepare.
He intended to bring a book with a Spell that could detect the essence of that cursed tree.
That way he could confirm if the Magic in Erend's world was indeed the Magic from that cursed tree or not.

Time flies. The sun slipped and the day turned to dusk.
To the west, the sky had turned orange and getting darker.
There was still little light left so everyone in the Slums had yet to turn on their lights.
Again for the usual reasons. They save electricity.
Erend, Billy, and Adrien were still in the car.
They had arrived at the Slum area. But they had not gotten out of the car parked next to the guard post.
There is a strange problem that makes them quite confused.
"So uhh... do you guys have any ideas on where they'll be staying for a while. As long as they're here?" Erend asked.
"Definitely not my house," Billy said quickly. "You know we don't even have enough room to ourselves."
Erend sighed. "You're right. And I am the same. Moreover, they are royal families."
"I didn't know we would have a problem like this," Adrien said. "And we still have to think about how to get information about where the secret experiment was carried out."
They couldn't possibly live at Adrien's house either.
He had called his wife earlier and even his wife screamed when she heard Adrien say someone was going to stay with them.
Adrien, as a ferocious soldier on the battlefield, could only obey when his wife screamed like that.
Neither Erend nor Billy said anything.
So, Adrien is already out of question from the beginning.
Silence filled the car. They were lost in their thoughts because they didn't know what to do.
Then suddenly Erend and Billy's cell phone rang.
When they saw it it was a video call from General Lennard.
They both accept the call and enter into a group video call with the General.
"Good evening, Sgt. Drake, Sgt. Brook," General Lennard began. "I won't waste any time. So I'll get to the point."
Erend and Billy felt their heartbeats increase. Adrien listened quietly next to them.
"I have prepared a house for you in the city area. You can leave your house in Slum when you are ready."
It turned out to be good news.
"There's some simple furniture in the house for you guys. The key is in the mailbox next to the fence. I'll send you the address. That's all. Good evening."
The video call was immediately ended by General Lennard.
Erend and Billy didn't care about the General's attitude because they got very good news about their current situation.
"Looks like we have a place for them to stay," Erend said.
Billy and Adrien nodded with a smile.
The car then left the parking lot. Then drove back onto the highway that leads to the city area.
Billy follows the directions on the GPS showing the address General Lennard gave him.
The area is a fairly simple complex.
A bit far from the downtown area. And of course even further with the Slum area.
But for now, it's not a problem. Because they just needed a place to live for Aurdis and Saeldir for a while.
"This is your house," Billy said, stopping the car in front of a two-story house.
"It's pretty good," Erend said. "Let's go."
The three of them got off and entered the house that was supposed to be Erend's house.
When they entered the house, it turned out that the house already had a couch, television, and some furniture.
The house wasn't completely empty like they had thought.
General Lennard even bothered to prepare all this for them.
They glanced around and watched all this for several minutes.
As far as they were concerned, this house was quite nice.
"Yeah. It's pretty good," Erend said.
"What do you mean?!" Billy exclaims. "This is not only good. This is great!"
Billy started laughing out loud. They had to break this news to their families as soon as possible.
However, they couldn't do that now.
Because soon this house will be a place to live for Aurdis and Saeldir.
"Well, alright. We can wait a little longer," Billy said. Trying to quell his disappointment.
"Then we can ask them to come now," Adrien said.
Billy nodded. Erend immediately contacted Aurdis to ask her to come.
After a while, Erend could feel that he had connected with Aurdis.
'Are you ready?' Erend asked.
'Soon. I'm still preparing something with Saeldir,' Aurdis replied.
'Alright. Call me again when you're ready to come here.'
'Yes.'
After that, their telepathic connection was cut off.
Erend said that Aurdis and Saeldir were still preparing.
So the three of them waited while looking at the interior of the house that would become Erend's new home.

On the other hand, Aurdis and Saeldir were packing up some books and tools that might be useful for their trip to another world.
Even though Aurdis said that all this was unnecessary, Saeldir insisted.
"(We will face unexpected creatures, in a place we are not familiar with. Isn't it only natural that we are well prepared?)" Saeldir said.
"(But we can come back here if we need something, right?)" Aurdis replied.
"(Are you sure we can leave and make it in time if the situation turns bad?)" Saeldir looked at Aurdis.
Aurdis couldn't reply to what he said because it might be true.
"(Alright, alright. What else do we need?)" Aurdis said.
Saeldir told Aurdis what else she should take.
They continued at this for a few more minutes. Until finally they were ready to go.
But suddenly there was a knock on the door. Saeldir and Aurdis exchanged glances.
"(You guys are inside?")
It was Aerchon's voice. Aurdis and Saeldir stared at each other with worry in their eyes.
"(Open the door,)" Aerchon said.
Saeldir sighed. "(We have no choice. If I don't open the door he will break it down.)"
So Saeldir opened the door accompanied by annoyance from Aurdis.
But Aurdis didn't say anything. After all, she had already made up her mind to go.
So whatever Aerchon was going to do, he couldn't stop them.
The door opened and Aerchon entered with his usual sharp look on his face.
Aerchon's eyes looked around. It didn't take long for him to finally understand that Aurdis and Saeldir were going somewhere.
"(Where are you guys going?)" Aerchon asked.
"(That's none of your business,)" Aurdis answered quickly.
Aerchon knitted together's eyebrows and formed a sharp angle.
"(Why is that none of my business?)" Aerchon walked closer to Aurdis.
Aerchon's aura and piercing gaze made Aurdis swallow hard.
She did it subconsciously. Aerchon intimidated Aurdis who was previously irritated by his interruption.
Beside them, Saeldir sighed.
If he didn't interfere, the bickering between the two siblings would get worse.
And it will also slow down their time to leave.
"(We are going to Erend's world,)" Saeldir said.
Aerchon and Aurdis both glanced at him.
"(There's a human there who stole our Magic. Me and Aurdis intend to get rid of their Magic ability.)"
Saeldir decided to say everything directly. That way he wouldn't waste too much time.
