Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1703: Tiny people

Chapter 1703: Tiny people

Since the accusations had been dropped, there was nothing stopping us from moving forward.

Though it seemed like everyone was taking this place much more seriously after encountering those lava golems.

Especially since they knew that there was something behind the lava golems that were controlling them. Something that could control those lava golems definitely wouldn’t be that simple.

As such, they were prepared for anything that would come their way.

But what came was something that they didn’t expect.

“What are those little things?” Someone couldn’t help asking when they saw the things that appeared in front of us.

After walking some distance, we encountered what seemed to be a small village.

However, the things that lived in this small village were anything but normal.

This was a village that was completely surrounded by rivers of lava after all.

The things that were walking around seemed to be small humanoids, but they were completely made of flames and lava. However, they were different from the lava golems from earlier.

It seemed like these things were made of pure energy rather than other materials like the lava golems were.

At the same time, it didn’t seem like they had a core like the lava golems, so they didn’t seem to be creatures that had been made by someone else. It seemed like they were creatures that had naturally spawned from energy that was around here.

They didn’t even seem to notice that we were watching them from above, it seemed like they were just going about their daily lives.

The others didn’t recognize what these things were, but it was impossible for the magicians of the Sorcery Empire not to recognize them. Only when they recognized them, they couldn’t help being surprised.

“What are spirits doing here?” The magicians of the Sorcery Empire couldn’t help wondering.

This place didn’t seem like the place that spirits would gather…or that was until they thought about it.

Looking around them, they realized that this was actually the kind of place that spirits gathered. After all, the rivers of lava around them provided an abundance of natural fire energy that created a perfect environment for the fire spirits.

But they still didn’t understand why there would be these fire spirits here.

After thinking about it, the magicians of the Sorcery Empire couldn’t help coming up with a theory, “Is there some kind of treasure related to the spirits here?”

After coming up with this theory, they turned to look at me as if they were asking me to confirm this.

I couldn’t help shaking my head with a smile when I saw this before saying, “I don’t know either. It’s my first time here just like you.”

The magicians of the Sorcery Empire couldn’t help revealing awkward looks when they heard this.

It was just that they were used to seeing me pull out all kinds of things that were perfect for this place that they had just naturally turned to look at me. But in the end, they realized that I was right about it being my first time here.

It wasn’t as if there was anyone that had been in this place before since it had only been revealed after the volcano erupted.

This wasn’t a place that any humans had set foot in before.

Or at least as far as they knew, there weren’t any people that had set foot in this place since there were no records of this. Perhaps there were others that had set foot here before, but they couldn’t confirm this.

After a while, the magicians of the Sorcery Empire thought about contracting a few of these fire spirits to see if they could find any information about this place.

But all that they found was that none of the fire spirits seemed interested in them.

With the way that the fire spirits acted around them, it was almost as if they looked down on them.

The magicians didn’t know what to say or even feel in this situation since it was their first time being treated like this by spirits. Usually it would be them that would be in the dominant position since they were the ones that summoned spirits.

But in this place, the spirits had the upper hand.

At the same time, they couldn’t help feeling that there was something different about these spirits. It was almost as if there was something that was controlling these spirits that allowed them to resist the control of the magicians.

This was something that they had never encountered before.

If the sages had been here, they would have an idea of what this was.

It was different for these magicians who were just the disciples of the sages.

So in the end, they didn’t know what to do here.

“We’ve already found this much, this should be more than enough for now, right?” The leader of the Democratic Union said all of a sudden.

Everyone turned to look at him, but this time it didn’t seem like there were that many that were against what he said.

After finding this village of spirits, it really seemed like they had plenty of information to act on. It was best if they brought this information back so they could figure out what to do next.

So there were many people that seemed to agree with what was said.

Though there was one person whose opinion mattered the most that didn’t agree.

I didn’t want to head back yet since there was something else that I wanted from this place.

The fire spirits that were here were just the beginning.

I had lied earlier when I said that I didn’t know what was here, I knew exactly what was hidden in this place. At the same time, I knew that we were close now that we had seen this village.

That was why I wanted to keep going.

So to make sure that we kept going…

“Hiss!”

With this sound, there were more lava golems that suddenly appeared.

It was just that these lava golems were completely different from before.

These were giant lava golems that appeared out of the rivers of lava around us.
