BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 Kamizel Forest
Jason had the best bath in his life in the hotel room. The hotel bathroom had a jacuzzi which he stayed inside of for at least 30 minutes.
He came outside feeling completely refreshed and was treated with some of the best food in his life.
Sadly, the three hours went by soon and they had to leave the hotel. Issac however had a surprise waiting for all of them.
"I guess we should start dressing like nobility from here onwards because who knows what kind of people we might encounter later on." Issac sighed, the incident from a few hours ago still fresh in his mind.
He rotated his right hand in a three-sixty degree notion as a pair of clothes suddenly dropped into his other hand.
He passed them on to Jason before repeating the same process until all of them were holding a pair of clothes in their hands.
"Now go and change into those clothes. Today told me that even after so many years, the society hasn\'t changed one bit." Issac ordered as everyone chose separate rooms to change quickly.
"They look so… different," Jason muttered as he unfolded the clothes and stared at them.
A pair of sleek black trousers cut straight and a bit loose to offer easy movement. A white shirt with a black check design throughout the fabric and at last, a long black coat with the bird of balance drawn on the back and on the breast pocket.
Jason quickly changed into the trousers and shirt but when he looked at the coat, he realized that it was a little too big for him.
If he wore it, it would definitely touch his ankles and make him trip over. Not to mention that he would look extremely awkward in it.
[ Host, just wear it. ] The system urged.
Jason was still doubtful yet he wore the coat around his arms. The moment it settled over his arms, the coat suddenly shrunk down to perfectly fit around his arms.
Jason blinked for a few seconds before reaching to touch the lower portion of the coat and right in front of his eyes, the entire thing shrunk before stopping just a few inches above his knees.
Jason looked at the mirror in the room to see that he looked extremely smart in the outfit.
He looked like a true noble.
He walked back into the living room to see that everyone was dressed the same way. Everyone except Zara
The demi-human princess was wearing a beautiful black dress that brushed the bottom of her thighs. The dress wasn\'t too tight around her body yet it still made her figure look splendid.
Jason also noticed that the bird of balance was also drawn above on the top right side of the dress, directly above her heart.
The bird however wasn\'t drawn anywhere else and no other traces of white was present in the entire dress.
However, there was another symbol drawn on the opposite side of the bird of balance.
It was a spear burning with bright red flames
For the first time since Jason had met his family, he felt as though they were true nobles and not a band of loud gambling countryside idiots.
\'I guess clothing really changes the way one looks at you.\' Jason thought as the Syrward family left the floor and walked in front of the reception.
"Have a good day! If any of you ever plan on visiting the city again, please contact me and I will reserve the best things in the city for you!" The same receptionist said enthusiastically while bowing to Issac.
"I will keep that in mind," Issac replied with a charming smile before he winked at the woman. "And if you ever need lessons on anything regarding love, feel free to hit me."
The receptionist blushed a little but she neither accepted nor declined Issac\'s offer. Jason had to say that if someone didn\'t know Issac and Risa\'s age, both of them only looked as though they were in their late twenties or early thirties.
[ Speaking of that, we never got to know their real age. ]
\'Yikes…\'
They then moved towards the Northern gate of the city as they had entered from the Southern gate.
According to Issac, the capital wasn\'t that far away. They just had to go straight north and pass a huge forest before they would arrive at Troyalias.
\'What was the name of the forest again?\' Jason inquired.
[ Kamizel forest. What are you going to do with its name anyways? ]
\'Nothing. I am just wondering whether inspect works on forests too.\'
[ That\'s a good question. Maybe we will find it out once we enter the forest. ] The system went on observation mode again as the Syrward family stepped out of the gates.
Issac raised his right hand to his mouth and whistled loudly. Seconds after he had whistled, the two stallions from earlier suddenly stopped in front of the family.
Issac winked at Jason before patting their heads. He took out the carriage a few minutes later and tied the stallions again.
"Everyone inside," Issac said as he sat on the driver\'s place with Jason sitting right beside him.
The other family members got into the carriage as Issac whistled again. The stallions once again started moving as Jason enjoyed the sensation of feeling the wind against his face.
Jason relaxed back in the driver\'s seat while enjoying the scenery around them. Though the stallions were still moving as fast as ever, Jason could notice the occasional change in scenery.
He even saw two villages sometime after they had left the city but he couldn\'t observe them carefully.
"Ha…" Jason suddenly gasped as the carriage started moving with sudden jerks.
The concrete road had been replaced by a dirt one that apparently had too many rocks or pebbles in the way.
The sudden shift made Jason\'s stomach churn as he clutched his mouth and hung to the edge of the seat.
Issac also noticed this as he gently whistled and the stallions slowed down. The moment they came to a halt, Jason jumped down the carriage.
He unsteadily landed on the ground before making his way to a tree and getting down on his knees. He emptied everything he had eaten before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
\'I hate travel sickness...\' he cursed mentally.
"Travel sickness is a very annoying thing." Risa\'s voice entered his ears as Jason opened his eyes to see his grandmother standing above him.
Seeing that his condition wasn\'t extremely bad, Risa touched his forehead with her index finger and used her life magic to fix the headache building in Jason\'s head.
He felt much better after she was finished and stood up.
That\'s when Jason noticed a thick closing of trees in the distance while also noticing that he couldn\'t see how far the dirt path went once it entered the forest.
"Is that…"
"The Kamizel forest?" Risa finished before nodding to indicate that the thick cluster of trees growing in the distance was indeed the entrance to Kamizel forest.
Jason decided to pay attention to the trees and other things as he used inspect on the forest. Much to his surprise, it worked.

< Kamizel Forest >
< Threat level: ??? >
— Kamizel forest is spread for kilometers and anyone traveling to Troyalias has to pass through the forest.
— Though the forest isn\'t dangerous for those traveling in groups, it can certainly be dangerous at times. Other than being a natural habitat for beasts, Kamizel forest is also the prime location for bandits.
— It is advised to proceed with caution since the death rate inside the forest is much greater than 50%
