Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?-Novel

Chapter 770 Greeting as Neighbours

Currently, the group was gathered just outside of the spirit capital.

"Right then, before we go, I want you to tell me about what you can do." Shiro said as she wanted to know about what the newcomers could do.

If the elders brought them along for this journey, then they must have some trust in them.

Listening to their abilities, Shiro could best summarise it as two trackers, one camouflage and one scout.

The two trackers will search for the prisoners while the camouflage would disguise their presence, making it hard for the enemy to spot them. While this was happening, the scout would be keeping an eye out for anything that might have seen past their disguise.

As for the elders, they were the main attack force aside from Shiro and Nan Tian.

"Not to be grim but if one of the elders have died, how would you know?" Shiro asked the trackers.

"The tether would be broken. When we track people, a tether will appear that only we can see and once that is broken, it means that they are dead or are in a place that cannot be reached." The spirit replied.

"I see... How many tethers do you see so far?" Shiro asked.

"We see three tethers so far." The other spirit replied as the elders paused and sighed.

"So that means four have died." Samuel balled his hands into a fist.

Biting her lip, Zerphi held back a cry of anger.

Seeing their reactions, Shiro could see that they must have just experienced survivors’ guilt.

"Don’t pull that face, I’ll pay them back three fold for you." Shiro smiled.

The elders nodded their head but naturally, they were a little doubtful.

Shaking her head, Shiro ignored them for now and flexed her fingers.

Activating her disguise skill, she camouflaged everyone while the spirit that was responsible for the camouflage looked at her in shock.

"What? I have quite a diverse skill set." Shiro shrugged as he quickly apologised for his rudeness.

Using the teleport shrine, Shiro teleported everyone to the border country of Erti.

Looking at the state of the land surrounding it, the spirits only sighed as they were closely tied to nature.

"We’ll fix the country later. Do you know where the tethers are pointing towards?" Shiro asked as she brought up a map of Erti that she found online.

"I believe it should be in the capital city as that is where the anchor is placed." Ophrit said as the spirits responsible for the tracking nodded their heads.

"Our tethers essentially show us a straight line to the target and right now it’s pointing towards the capital city."

"I see... once we get to the capital city, we’ll split up and perform our separate tasks. Keep this on you and I’ll contact you if anything goes wrong. Once you find the captives, see if you can save them. If you can’t tell me about the problem." Shiro said while handing them an ear piece.

"Understood." They nodded their heads.

They weren’t unfamiliar with human technology so they knew what the ear piece was.

Slamming her hand against the ground, Shiro created a jet.

"Hop in. We’re going to take the fast route."

Surprised at the sudden summon of a vehicle, they looked at her with wonder.

"It’s my ability don’t think too much about this."

Hearing her reply, the elders could only look at each other since that was clearly abnormal.

There was a certain limit to the powers that a spirit can obtain and creating large vehicles out of thin air was clearly not one of them.

However, since she was the queen, they decided to set it aside for now.

Entering the jet, Shiro grinned seeing everyone strapped in.

As with always, there is going to be a baptism process.

Turning on the engines, Shiro narrowed her eyes while Nan Tian only glanced back at the unsuspecting passengers and sighed.

"Good luck." He said towards them which caused them to tilt their heads.

"Why good lucaaaAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Feeling a sudden force slam into them as the jet soared into the sky, Shiro only laughed at their faces.

The journey itself was short but for the passengers it felt like an eternity. Despite their physiques that have been reinforced by their level, they were still forced back into the seat from the way Shiro manipulated the forces that they were feeling.

Exiting the jet a little weak kneed, they recovered soon after.

"Your highness, please give us a heads up when you want to do something like this in the future." Samuel forced a smile.

"It wouldn’t be fun otherwise. After all, I only get one chance." Shiro laughed.

Right now, they were still a distance from the capital city but Shiro could already sense the anchor as a large source of energy could be felt in the middle.

Understanding that she probably got some power back from the people that have went under her rule, Shiro could guess that she’ll be fighting Limra at her peak.

However, that was fine as she had access to all of her berserk skills along with her new sword.

The city itself looked fine from a distance but Shiro could see the cracks in the concrete along with the lack of ambient mana from anywhere else other than the anchor. The further away you got from the anchor, the less mana there is.

For monsters, this would dampen their mana regen as well as passive regeneration unless they have special skills from the system.

"Me and Nan Tian will make a flashy entrance so you can try to camouflage yourself. Good luck." Shiro smiled as she and Nan Tian jumped into the air.

Releasing her aura, Shiro made herself known as she approached the city with Nan Tian next to her.

"Who goes there!" A booming voice shouted as two figures appeared in the space in front of them.

"Just another queen. I happened to come across this place and wanted to pay a little visit. You know, talk to a neighbour or two." Shiro smirked as she camouflaged her title so that they couldn’t tell what level or class she was. Naturally, Nana Tian did the same and they could only tell that he was Tier 6.

Hearing this, the two guards glanced at each other and frowned.

They were both dressed in heavy plates but Shiro could tell that they would be freakishly fast should they begin fighting. Naturally, if they could diplomatically solve this it would be good too since she wouldn’t need to fight and they can rescue the prisoners.

"If you’re another queen then surely you aren’t trying to pick a fight before the new age even begins right? Are you trying to make yourself an enemy of every queen out there?" A feminine voice rang out as Shiro narrowed her eyes.

[Limra – LVL 500 Vampiric Queen]

Seeing her title, Shiro narrowed her eyes.

When seeing the word vampiric, one would normally think that she was going to be sucking blood or something of the sort. However, since the elders have told her that she absorbs energy, Shiro understands that she needed to be careful about contact with this queen.

"Of course not. I just wanted to say hi to a neighbour. Is there a problem with that?" Shiro asked with a smirk.

"Nope but what kind of neighbour greets with such a threatening aura?" Limra narrowed her eyes.

"That’s just my form of greeting. I do hope that you do not take offence." Shiro asked with a chuckle as Limra only frowned.

As she did not know about Shiro’s level just yet, she wasn’t going to make a move. However, from the energy she was feeling, there was a chance that she could be above Shiro in terms of strength.

"Of course not but if a greeting is all you want to do, then you may take your leave." Limra narrowed her eyes.

"Why not sit down and have a sip of tea. As fellow queens I’m sure there are things we can talk about." Shiro smiled.

"I am rather busy today. Please take your leave or else I shall take that as a sign of aggression." Limra frowned.

Raising her eyebrows, Shiro smiled.

Flickering from her spot, Shiro appeared behind Limra and had her sword against Limra’s neck.

"Then take it as an action of aggression." Shiro smiled as the two guards had acted quickly as well. However, Nan Tian blocked their swords from striking Shiro.

Energy erupted out from all five of them as they began combat.
