I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 211: Meveza
"Rubina!"
Logan opened his eyes, feeling a little sad. His dream had been so good that he thought it was reality. He tried to recall it before noticing where he was and the situation he was in—Lisa on one hand, while Rubina was on the other.
"How the hell…" Logan said while laying back down. He had just dreamt about this; it was so vivid. Did he possibly do what he thought he dreamt?
It wasn't long before he felt a tug on his right hand where Rubina was. "Did you enjoy your dream?" she said with a wink before kissing his cheek.
"Now let's get up. We need to get to the capital today, right?" she said with an alluring voice that left Logan dazed.
He did not want to, but he lightly shook his left hand where Lisa was. Her eyes quivered a little before she took in a deep breath.
"Logan?" she said, rubbing her eyes.
"Yes, now let's get going, Lisa. We need to eat and finally get to the capital," Logan said gently, making Rubina pinch his arm.

"Ouch… why?" Logan said while rubbing his arm.
"Why didn't you wake me up like that…" Rubina said reproachfully.
"Because you were already awake. Now let's hurry, we have a lot to do." Logan got up and began walking to the door to give the girls enough time to change and fix what they needed.
Just as he was about to reach his own room, Logan spotted Kai, who stared at him for a few seconds and began to laugh.
"Logan, why do you have writing on your face?" the young boy said, taking out a handkerchief to pass to Logan.
Logan checked his face in a nearby mirror before rubbing it off, knowing whose ploy it was. Luckily, the ink quickly washed off.
Within two hours and having eaten a grand meal provided by the Duke, Logan was ready to head out. He thought it was just going to be his group when a large greyish-blue dragonoid creature appeared before them. Its rider was Sergei, the Duke's son.
"Hero, I want to join you on this trip. Please accept my help. I will guide you on the route we use to get there the fastest. You should know that the kingdom is heavily watched these days. With what you found, no one is allowed to step even within 5 leagues of the capital, so you will be stopped again and again. With me, we will have clearance to see the king—my uncle—without problems." He tried to make a point which no one could refute.
"Well then, I guess we have a tour guide," Logan said, nodding.
The rest of the group accepted the presence of the Wyvern, all but Zephyr, who did not like the flying snake. He thought it was acting haughty for some reason.
"You're the strongest, Zephyr. Now calm down, we just need new friends," Logan patted him to reassure the large eagle. It cried out before they set out, making even the Frost Wyvern back down a little before the large kite. Its winds empowered the rest so they could move faster.
Using the hidden passage that Sergei knew, they passed through a long canyon that the Frost Wyvern knew well. The griffins had a bit of a difficult time, but with Zephyr taking charge of the wind, it enhanced even the tailwind of the wyvern to keep everyone in a line that would keep them at the same speed.
Within two hours, they finally reached the capital, Meveza, a city that far surpassed the kingdom of Elris in size. It was strangely built into the side of a large mountain, which helped the wyverns come in and out of the castle that was at the peak of the mountain.
It was a beautiful magical sight that Logan never expected to see. The light of the sun even helped to make the grand structure radiate as they headed towards a tower made out of ice.
"This is where we can enter. Try to stay with me, as only the Wyvern Knights use this entrance," Sergei yelled as he slowed down his pace. His Wyvern called out, making others within the tower of ice do the same as if to welcome him.
Logan looked around to see more than thirty beasts around them, each as powerful as Sergei's mount. They did not move, caring for their young as others flew about the tower.
They were taken inside the mountain into a well-lit tunnel that took them up into a part of the castle at the tip of the mountain.
"We have arrived! Try to leave your creatures around here; they should be taken care of while we speak to the king," Sergei said. He jumped off his mount and passed the reins to a nearby soldier who saluted him with respect.
"Sir, to what do we owe the visit?" the soldier asked.
"We come for a visit. I have brought two heroes, one the king of Highrule, the other is the saintess. Now, ask the king to make time for our arrival. Please hurry," Sergei said to another soldier who ran off in a sprint.
"Thanks, Sergei. We have arrived faster than I expected. We were pressed for time, so being here today makes my work easier." Logan gave his appreciation, as did Lisa and especially Kai, who had never had a flying mount and was tired of flying.
Logan asked his tamed beasts to settle as they began to walk towards the king's throne. Unlike the duke, who showed off with splendid decorations that even made Logan envious, the real castle of the Veridith Kingdom did no such thing. What it did have was a lot of respect for the Wyverns. This was apparent in each room they passed, which was filled with decorations of the beasts.
Even the scales were used as decorations. Their blue glimmering shine was hung up in various ornaments and trims, including chandeliers that contained mana crystals to keep the long hall well-lit.
They walked for at least fifty meters as soldiers stood on each side of the long hall, windows letting in the cool outside wind that did not seem to faze those that lived in the kingdom. They even welcomed the cold, using their animal skins to protect them from it.
Logan had to resort to making a small flame around him and Lisa, keeping the wisp in front of them to radiate just enough heat to keep them, who weren't wearing coats, comfortable. Rubina did the same behind them to keep both her and Kai warm. On this occasion, she wore light metal armor with fire crystals placed around it. Since Lisa and Rubina spoke about sparring with the soldiers, she wanted to look strong from the start.
As soon as they entered the throne room, they found it full of soldiers and some important nobles of the Veridith Kingdom, as well as the King who was a few steps above everyone sitting on his throne.
"Welcome, King of Highrule and Saintess. We have been waiting for you. It's good to know we were right in our prediction in your arrival. Now let's speak," a voice resonating with a regal tone welcomed them as all those around bowed down to greet them.
