Chapter 53: Passing on Memories

The territory of Rogest is located in the eastern part of Holy Lotean Empire, and the distance between the two was considerable far. When the Duchess’s have something to do in the territory, the carriage alone takes at least twenty days on the road.

Originally, when Aresia think about the Mage Tower, she had the idea of creating a long-distance teleportation array. However, setting up a teleportation array required scouting the teleportation location in person, and this technique was much more complex than beast companion contracts.

Space mages were already rare in this world, and their research on space magic was even scarcer. Teleportation magic was limited to the mage himself and had a restricted range. Even powerful mages couldn’t teleport to a specific location in another city, let alone to a neighboring city. Unless one was a space mage, it was impossible to cast teleportation magic.

However, there had always been research on long-distance teleportation. Some people had been studying the construction of teleportation arrays that could be used by others. There were even larger-scale teleportation devices that transported objects instead of people, such as delivering messages.

However, these devices were extremely expensive and had complex craftsmanship. They were not easily made, and this technology was a closely guarded secret among mages specifically the mage guild. They were not open to the public. Each use of the teleportation array required a fee of thousands of gold coins, unless it was an extremely urgent matter. The average person couldn’t afford it, and it was simply not practical.

As for the space teleportation technology that Aresia has mastered, as long as the location of the teleportation array is set up, then she can go anywhere in the world.

Even before her accident, Aresia had read a report saying that the country had made a major breakthrough in ultra-long-distance transmission and was expected to achieve planet-to-planet transmission within twenty years. Teleportation between planets. It’s a pity that she did not participate in this research, so the teleportation array technology that Aresia mastered cannot reach that kind of distance, but it can still be done from the city of Holy Lotean to the territory. 

Furthermore, if the teleportation array was constructed, it had a sufficient capacity to transport ten tons of objects at once, including living beings.

Each teleportation consumed a considerable amount of energy. If magic crystals were used, the mage could control the amount of energy expended. However, the cost of a single teleportation was still not low. In her previous World, the High Magic World, there were facilities for recharging with solar, wind, water, and electric energy, making the teleportation array environmentally friendly and cost-effective, keeping the expenses within a low range, which made it popular.

Giving Aresia some time, she could develop the teleportation array, and it was originally something she planned to do in the future.

Because only a better teleportation array can allow her to travel between the two cities freely.

From then on, the products of the Alchemy Workshop can also be continuously sent to Holy Lotean and other cities through the magic circle. 

But the prerequisite was that she had to go to the territory and set up a teleportation array first. But fortunately, the current situation is better than before.

Instead of the twenty days’ travel via carriage, she planned to fly on a flying magical beast, a gryphon. The Gryphon Legion had no shortage of magical beasts, and they had quite a few gryphons. By not delaying on the way and hurrying a bit, she could even arrive within three days.

Duke Rogest was willing to send Aresia back to the Mansion. Moreover, he dispatched a squad of knights to escort her back and protect her during the journey.

Originally, this task would have been suitable for Amos, because there was no one more concerned about Aresia’s safety than him. It wouldn’t do to assign him another task.

Unfortunately, Amos’s mount was still a cub, so it couldn’t keep up in such a short time. It was impossible to arrange for someone else to accompany them.

After finishing the discussion, the Duke asked her to return first.

On the way back to the Mansion, Aresia asked the coachman to make a detour to the Alchemy Workshop. She will look up the equipment and machines she ordered. The workshop had already made the necessary preparations and was waiting for someone to pick them up. The alchemist is surprised, instead of Steward Aaron, it was the Duke’s daughter herself who came.

He was surprised but quickly led her to the warehouse to collect the equipment.

When they entered the warehouse, Aresia noticed a few familiar machines – magic looms.

The alchemist who accompanied them noticed Aresia’s gaze and quickly explained, “These were custom-made by other customers. We only made them after confirming that the customer had purchased the blueprints from the Adventurer’s Guild.”

In fact, the magic looms were made by the Alchemy Workshop. People who had purchased the blueprints came to the workshop to have them custom-made. It was a straightforward transaction where they paid once for the order and once for the delivery. There was no need to lie about it. The magic looms were indeed sold to those who had purchased the blueprints from the Adventurer’s Guild.

Aresia nodded, unsure whether to believe it or not. After careful inspection and confirming that there were no issues with the equipment she ordered, and that they met the required specifications, Aresia nodded in satisfaction. She asked the workshop staff to deliver the equipment to the Duke’s residence and make the final payment when they arrived.

Since they were already there, Aresia took the opportunity to visit several nearby magic material stores and replenish her inventory. She even bought a few extra items.

After going back and forth, it wasn’t until evening that they returned to the Duke’s mansion.

The equipment sent by the alchemy workshop had been received and the payment was made.

When she returned, the Duchess was busy with social engagements.

Like many noble ladies, Grysenna enjoyed attending various gatherings, especially since the Duke often stationed in the legion and was frequently away. Night activities were usually spent attending these gatherings. If she didn’t participate, it was because she was unwell or she is having a reunion with the duke.

Grysenna was a mother who loved excitement and disliked loneliness. Unlike other noble ladies who enjoyed causing trouble at gatherings, she simply enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by a crowd.

While her mother was away, Aresia instructed Luna to help pack the necessary items for their return to the territory.

Luna was taken aback at first, not used to the idea of Aresia willingly going back to the territory. However, she quickly complied and started preparing the necessary items.

The Duchess didn’t return until late. Aresia took the opportunity to bring the books assigned by her teacher, along with a magic pen for copying other materials. When it was almost bedtime, she went to rest, and her magic pen was still writing diligently copying her assignments on the table.

Although she had reserves of magic potions to restore her energy. She let the magic pen finished her assignments.

It has to be said that without the magic pen, she would not be able to control all her time when she is not in class as she can now, and the homework, activities, projects assigned by the teachers will occupy a lot of her free time.

The next day, Aresia went to Grysenna and informed her about her plans to return to the territory during the summer break.

The reasons were sound.

“Father gave me a gift from the Mage Tower, and I want to take the opportunity during the break to find someone who can help me organize it.”

“Mom, wait for me to come back and bring you a gift.”

Upon hearing that Aresia would go back to the territory, Grysenna initially thought the journey was too long and hesitated. However, she soon noticed the spiderling on Steward Aaron’s shoulder and immediately changed her mind.

Aresia could return to the territory without enduring a long journey. Moreover, Grysenna had seen that Aresia had developed an interest in magic. Although she didn’t want to discourage her, she nodded to show that she understood. She called Aaron, the household steward, and Megan, to help prepare the necessaries.

Aresia quickly stopped them. “There’s no need to call for guards. I’ll just bring a few servants with me. The servants in the territory don’t how to serve me. It’s not appropriate to bring too many people so I’ll just bring Luna and Mrs. Megan accompany me and bring a few servants for errands.”

Duke Rogest have a castle near the territory that was almost the size of the Mansion in the Holy Lotean City. The number of servants and guards was not less than that of the Duke’s Mansion, but in terms of serving the master, they lack some experience. Besides, Aresia didn’t want to attract too much attention as she was going to do something quite extraordinary. Therefore, she decided to bring a few servants from the Duke’s residence, relying more on them.

After returning to her room, Aresia planned to continue working on her remaining summer assignments. However, she suddenly received a notice that Duke Rogest wanted to see her at the palace.

Confused by the servant’s report, Aresia initially wondered who was impersonating the Duke and why they would call her to the palace.
