Chapter 564: Not Quite Understanding the Progress of Feelings (Please Subscribe!)

This time, Izay helped the Gold Elves migrate to Orario.

Although nominally, they would all become members of Artemis’ faction in the future.

However, there were still a series of follow-up matters to handle elsewhere.

For example, entry permits…

Just like the heretics who want to move freely on the surface, the Gold Elves also need such things.

Coincidentally, Fels has been busy “making” these recently.

Given their friendly relationship, Izay asked him for help.

But the physical items had to be picked up by Izay himself.

That’s why he’s now heading out with Laentoluca.

……

Laentoluca closely followed behind Izay. Her blue-white dress tightly wrapped around her delicate body, emphasizing the high collar that only left a glimpse of her snowy neck.

As she walked, the skirt swayed, revealing black stockings on her slender calves, showcasing evenly straight leg lines.

Perhaps due to the outstanding looks of the Gold Elves, just walking down the street caused people to constantly turn back and glance at them, whispering in surprise.

But neither Laentoluca nor Izay paid attention to such gazes.

The former quietly listened as the latter explained the travel plan, while inevitably being attracted by the bustling scenes of Orario.

It was dawn, and the indescribably beautiful street views unfolded before the young girl.

They say hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once, and Laentoluca finally understood the meaning of this phrase now.

Many demi-humans walking on the road, as well as those adventurers equipped with swords and armor… all made the young girl’s eyes sparkle.

Foreign sentiment.

This word could describe the young girl’s current mood.

“After becoming an adventurer, I will have the chance to explore the Dungeon too, right?”

Laentoluca looked at the crowd gathering towards the central tower of the city and suddenly asked.

“Of course, you can after receiving the blessings of a goddess. This will also accelerate your growth. But remember to register as an adventurer at the Guild personally. You must go yourself; only then can you exchange Magic Stones for Valis income.”

Hearing Izay’s words, Laentoluca nodded.

She knew the “you” in the words referred to the five adult elves including herself.

Because only they currently possessed combat capabilities; the other elves were too young, making it too dangerous for them to explore the Dungeon.

“What about relic weapons? Can we continue to use relic weapons in battle?”

In the fairy house, powerful weapons like relic weapons naturally wouldn’t be forgotten during relocation. They are the main source of combat power for the Gold Elves.

“I’ll help you repair them later. After all, the talismans on those weapons haven’t been adjusted for a long time. Find time to give them a major maintenance.”

Izay answered after a moment of thought.

This couldn’t be done immediately.

Because he didn’t yet know how to adjust those relic weapons. He only obtained the method through the Great Sage Swang.

This was related to his rescue of Airmeria.

As the adopted daughter of the strongest near-Hero from five hundred years ago, Airmeria’s father William is the only person in the world today who knows how to adjust relic weapons.

After a five hundred-year reunion between father and daughter, and learning of Izay’s kindness from Swang, William always wanted to repay Izay somehow.

But with nothing currently to offer, he didn’t know how to act.

Later, under the suggestion of Swang and Black Candle Duke, he decided to write down all the knowledge in his mind and present it to Izay.

William’s knowledge was the crystallization of human diligence from five hundred years ago.

One could say that most of the power humanity had developed over so many years in the post-apocalyptic world was encompassed within William’s expertise.

From forbidden spells of the fallen nation to the methods of creating relic weapons, to even the simplest charm-making techniques, they were all included.

If humans from five hundred years ago still existed and learned of William’s “treason,” they might get angry enough to return to their coffins.

Unfortunately, they were long dead. Even if they did rise, William could block them with the excuse that Izay saved him and is from another world.

To put it bluntly, in a world where humanity went extinct five hundred years later, everything in William’s view was less important than his daughter.

“So I look forward to that day! Hystoria will be entrusted to you until then!”

Upon hearing this, Laentoluca didn’t feel disheartened but instead showed a smile.

“What kind of tone is this when handing over something so important to me~?”

“Hystoria is my ‘other half’ in battle, and it’s very important to me.”

“…Where did you hear this saying? I don’t think anyone told you anything like that.”

“From the books you gave me! The hero faces the threat of monsters, even with severe injuries, never letting go of the weapon in hand, firmly declaring timeless quotes in dire straits… isn’t it romantic?”

With her hands behind her back, the young girl cheerfully recounted the contents of the adventure tales to Izay, smiling brightly.

Izay couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh: “You might get along well with Haruhi…”

“Who’s Haruhi?”

“My fox-eared girl; fox people are one type of beastman, and she likes reading too.”

“Oh~, someone who likes reading…” Laentoluca tapped her crystal-clear lips thoughtfully, tilting her head slightly.

Feels like a rival?

Let’s temporarily list her as the second rival after the Goddess.

The young girl’s thoughts were active.

Even though she hasn’t fully grasped the current situation,

This competitive spirit is still commendable~

……

Izay and Laentoluca, who had just arrived at the Labyrinth City, leisurely strolled through the streets of the northern district, slowly heading towards the city gate.

When the two reached near the city gate, they happened to see a familiar figure standing there.

Miss Shakuti, the captain of the Urban Constabulary.

Izay had known her for a long time. Members of large factions often interacted with each other.

And given Izay’s connections at the Guild, this “interaction” was even deeper.

At this moment, the captain was talking to someone. In front of her stood a silver-haired woman holding a broom…

“The required inspection is complete. Here is your entry permit. You don’t need to submit it when leaving; you can use it again next time you arrive. Please take good care of it.”

“I understand. Thank you for your help.”

The silver-haired woman took the entry permit from Shakuti, speaking gracefully.

But upon closer inspection, she seemed a bit unnatural, though she suppressed it well.

“By the way, I personally advise you not to use that broom casually within the city. Too rare things can attract envy. Please be careful.”

“Yes, thank you for the reminder. I will be cautious. Is there anything else?”

“No, that’s all. Enjoy your stay in the city.”

“Alright.”

Both sides exchanged politely.

It was clear that it was their first meeting, and both parties held reservations, with concern and gratitude only superficially expressed.

However, compared to this matter, what caught Izay’s attention more was that this silver-haired woman seemed familiar to him somewhere?
