Chapter 330 - 164 Kael: I’m Still Used to Talking with the Elegant Elder Sister (10K, 54/76)_3

There was no shortcut now, and it took quite some time to run from the mansion, which had become a castle, to the main transportation routes of the city.

The upside was that if someone wanted to kill him now, it would take them a long while just running circles inside the castle, not to mention the castle itself had become the station for the Rangers.

Lately, the Gluttonous Slimes had been left to roam in every dark corner of the castle, naturally serving as guards under Kael’s command.

Even because they had the ability to change shape, they could perfectly hide in various nooks by mimicking objects and concealing themselves.

Rushing in would only land one in a vast ocean of Rangers and Gluttonous Slimes.

The downside was, once the castle was established, Kael’s contacts with the players and town residents were somewhat severed.

But no matter, if the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain. By taking action myself, things were actually quite manageable.

He turned to Elanna and asked solemnly, "Elanna, are you in a hurry to go back these days?"

Elanna shook her head and said, "The related courses at the Knight Academy aren’t that numerous; they focus more on our daily free-time learning and drills. Don’t worry, in this respect, even if I leave the academy, I’ve never slacked off. If it weren’t for..."

When Elanna talked about this, her face started to turn rosy again.

If it weren’t for her sudden desire to check on Kael, she wouldn’t have ended up in such an odd situation today.

Alright, she admitted that being in her current situation was partly her own fault because she always thought about challenging Kael’s patience.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to tell Kael about the recent events, although she felt nothing would come of it, it was necessary to inform him.

"Kael, I might need to go out with a teacher for a while, it’s Olivia, the teacher we met last time who can really hold her liquor."

"My memory isn’t that bad, and besides, I remember everything about you," Kael said, then continued to ask,

"Did the Knight Academy arrange some kind of trial in the Dungeon? Let me prepare some things for you!"

Elanna shook her head and said, "No, it’s related to Bartlet Monarch that you were talking about. The relationship between Sirgil Duchy and Orean Independent Kingdom is quite tense now, isn’t it?"

Kael nodded. He had just mentioned this to Elanna, but he quickly caught on and said, "Are you going on a mission to Sirgil Duchy?"

The students at the Royal Knight Academy, rather than being called students, were more like a reserve of Knights and officers.

For someone like Elanna, who already had a teacher, the situation was even more particular.

Kael had briefly interacted with Olivia before, who seemed very mysterious.

But undoubtedly, he had never been able to see through that teacher’s true nature, which suggests she might be another old but shameless figure hiding and playing tricks among humans.

What? You say that’s impossible? Just because she’s attractive and fiery?

Stop joking, with sufficient power, one can completely control their physical state to maintain a youthful appearance.

Compared to some entity who’s lived thousands of years but claims to be a 17-year-old cute girl, the gap-trolling monster has something to say.

The "inherited Elves" known among various Noble classes have something to say.

The weirder ones even play the game where their daughter’s daughter is still themselves (muted...).

Being good-looking doesn’t mean much; without long-term experience, those profound abilities can’t be developed—everyone can’t be like Kael!

Seeing that Kael had guessed her next move, Elanna said intriguingly, "Kael, you understand the rules of the Royal Knight Academy better than I thought."

Kael rolled his eyes. He was bound to deal with those Knights from the Academy often in the future as a player, naturally he had heard quite a lot about the academy from those natives.

Just mentioning Bartlet Monarch, Kael had an amused smile on his face.@@novelbin@@

"Actually, it’s quite a coincidence because I might need to take a trip there myself," he said.

"Hmm?" Hearing Kael’s words, Elanna was puzzled and asked, "Kael, do you have business in Sirgil Duchy as well?"

Kael pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Actually, my purpose for traveling is similar to yours. Your teacher Olivia is taking you there, and there will likely be a significant number of Knights accompanying you."

Elanna nodded and said, "My teacher mentioned that they all come from different Duchies. This time, they’re going as a collective representative of the Bell Federation, accompanying the envoys of Sirgil Duchy to Orean Independent Kingdom."

In simple terms, it was a show of military force, quite typical. The Bell Federation’s middle strength was inadequate compared to top forces like the sacred Briania. Orean Independent Kingdom, do they even qualify?

It wasn’t that Kael looked down on Orean Independent Kingdom; they truly didn’t qualify.

Half-humans would rather face some trouble than be bored; they were curious, good at avoiding danger, and loved fine food and enjoyment.
