Chapter 205
Yi Ai'er realized that she seemed to have said something shocking because her brain was hot.
She blushed from the roots of her ears to the tips of her erected wolf ears.
She subconsciously raised the plate with only the leftovers on the table, covering half of her face, leaving only her eyes to look at others.
"Hahaha, it's okay, we know it when we see you."
"Your master is a kind-hearted person who will teach the orc maid to study hard."
"Well... he is also a super training expert who will train such a maid to become the leading holy shield warrior."
"If there is anything else, I believe he must be a researcher who is particularly focused on dungeons, otherwise even the maid around him would not know so much dungeon knowledge."
...
Yi Ai'er slowly put down the plate.
She didn't expect that everyone would change their views on the master because of her behavior...
She can really help him.
And not just a little maid who follows him and is taken care of by him.
"But, in this case, we have to find him quickly."
"Is this the person you are looking for?"
At this moment, a voice next to her interrupted Iai'er's thoughts.
She turned her head and saw that it seemed to be the driver who had just got off the carriage.
"Not only us, many people are looking for him." Pevlan said, "Why? Do you have any information?"
"A few days ago, I saw someone who was indeed somewhat similar, but he was queuing in front of the carriage team going to the capital..."
"!?"
Iai'er's ears perked up when she heard it.
"I don't want to get involved in the royal family. I think he is going to the capital, and I guess he is going back at the princess's request. I don't care much."
"Very, very likely!" Iai nodded fiercely, "If it is the young master... after reading the missing person notice, he may go directly to the capital to find Her Highness Treya!"
Iai looked at Pevlan.
"Then, the biggest possibility is...Xuna is with him. Let's...let's go to the capital from here!"
She was so tough that she didn't look like a submissive maid who took care of people.
As if she was the captain.
Chapter 235: Infiltrating the Capital
Watching the carriage slowly drive into the capital, Will always thinks of the first time he came here three years ago.
On the carriage from the Systrom family's house to the capital, Iel showed for the first time that he could defeat a witch of this level.
And, he also saw the witch Leah for the first time - although only from a distance.
Sitting in the carriage, he could see the school's tallest clock tower and the royal castle on the mountain behind the capital - which was also where he often went to see Treya.
One thing to be thankful for is that in Entak, it is not troublesome to enter and exit the capital. At least, every passenger in the car will not be checked. As long as the carriage has the entry and exit permit, it can enter and exit freely.
This gives some room for buying with "money".
"Huh... Take it, this money."
"The young master is really generous. He gives so much for a day's ride."
Hearing the driver's praise, Will pulled his hat down a little bit so that he could not see his face completely.
"That's not a problem. Let's go."
"No, no, I'm just surprised that adventurers are still heading to the capital. Even if you're a young master from a certain family, this is a bit surprising."
"Huh? Why are you surprised by this? Isn't the capital the center of the country?"
"But there aren't many dungeons nearby, and even the Adventurer's Association is restricted. Plus..."
The driver lowered his voice, and his appearance and tone were like someone who was talking about a secret on the street--
"The royal family has been in turmoil recently, and everyone has spread the news. The atmosphere in the capital is very bad."
"Yeah. I know. I... I'm here to solve this problem."
Will smiled under the brim of his hat.
The turbulent royal family will become particularly "stable" as long as there is one person who can temporarily suppress the others.
He wants to make Treya, who is sensitive and heavy and looking for him, become that person.
"Young master, young master, don't say that, it's not good to get involved."
"No."
He said this confidently.
-- I know the royal family very well.
He just didn't finish the second half of the sentence.
Will said goodbye to the coachman and looked back at the city he had been away from for two months. Thinking about it, he had not been away for a long time, but he felt that the city had become a lot more unfamiliar.
It was already night when Will arrived at the capital.
Zemat Town is indeed a "nearby" city that can provide fruits to the capital. Even with the simplest carriage, it only takes less than a day to reach the capital.
This may be...
The reason why Carver restricted the "Tenth Demon City".
It is indeed a threat to have an underground city that is actually not weak and can provide a lot of scarce resources so close to the royal family.
What's more, this underground city sounds like the "demon system" underground city that is most closely connected to the Entak royal family...
According to the original work, Carver hid behind the "Revolutionary Army" and promoted the rebellion against the Entak royal family a year and a half ago. But his dissatisfaction with the royal family and his suppression from his own perspective seemed to have happened a long time ago.
If according to what Lucifer revealed, the deeper the dungeon is dug, the more and better resources can be dug out, then the threat will be even greater.
"Huh...it's just that the driver has some misunderstanding...about my identity as an adventurer."
Will turned around and saw that the coachman had stopped very naturally...
In front of the Adventurers Association in the capital.
Under the gloomy sky, the door of this Adventurer's Association was still as tattered as when he arrived three years ago. However, there were some lights inside, but it was not lively. Unlike other Adventurers' Associations, which were often able to I heard the noisy sound of eating and drinking inside.
The most prestigious adventurers association in other places is like a rundown tavern in the capital that is about to close down.
It's not that Carver is targeting the royal family unilaterally. The Entak royal family was already very wary of adventurers and dungeon matters before Carver started.
Because the things dug out of the dungeon are very "uncontrollable".
They climbed up precisely because they obtained the "Devil's Pot" from the dungeon.
"but……"
"Although because the capital is her territory, I have been mentally prepared for a long time..."
"But why are my big pictures plastered all over here?!"
When Will looked at these, he didn't dare to pick off any of them.
I always feel like there are a hundred "Wills" staring at me when I walk on the street.
He didn't really like to look at his face in the mirror. Firstly, it didn't look good, and secondly, if he looked at it for a long time, he would always think of the expression of a comedian who would be smashed to death by a slime.
but……
These "missing person notices" completely completed his own face that he had not seen for more than ten years in his life.
"Is this what you want?"
Walking through the streets covered with his "Missing Person" notices, Will once again looked up at the royal castle that shrouded his head.
"...Treya."
However, from the moment he landed, Will felt something strange...
Why……
Why does he feel a little flustered even though he's already here?
Is it because there are more missing person notices posted in the capital, on Treya's territory, and she feels like she's being surrounded?
Or because...
This city has an ominous atmosphere as a whole. When walking here, I always feel like there are all kinds of eyes staring at me, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
drop--
Will, who was already feeling a little uncomfortable because of the atmosphere in the capital, found that it was actually raining now.
He raised his head and couldn't see clearly the sunny and cloudy sky. Raindrops slowly drifted down. The raindrops seemed to be slowly coming out of the darkness, lighting up the lights around him and falling on the tip of his nose.
"You have to hold an umbrella..."
When Will said this, he remembered that when it rained in the past, it was Iel who held an umbrella for him.
Now that she is not around, he even forgets to bring an umbrella.
"Forget it. I may need to stay here for a few more days. I have to find a reliable blacksmith to make what I have."
Wilmore was stroking the ring that Leah had given him as a birthday gift. It not only stored various props given to him by Lucifer, but also the materials for making shields for Yiel that he had obtained in the moon under the ice.
Snowsong Holy Shield·Elementary.
Shadow Nightmare Sword·Elementary level.
At least these two pieces of equipment had to be made by an iron shop - someone had just recommended one before.
During this time, he will also inquire about the royal family's news in the city, and make sufficient preparations before going to Thereya.
"Phew... the rain is actually getting heavier."
"So...where should I stay?"
Small hotels should all need to verify his identity.
The weather has cooled down, and it is not suitable to sleep on the streets with those people.
Then the best choice is...
"Yes, I am a person who owns a house in the capital!"
"People who have houses in the capital!"
"People who own houses!"
"In the capital!"
After he stamped his feet excitedly, he realized that the sound was a bit loud, and quickly calmed down a little, walking through the crowd and entering a path.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Click.
The door that had not been opened for two months was opened by him.
It was as if the memory box of the past three years in the capital had been reopened.
Although he really disliked Carver, he had to say that sometimes, his rich father was indeed very useful.
This house he left for himself to study in allowed him to spend three years that can be said to be very happy.
This small three-story residence, when he and Yiel first arrived, was covered with dust and had no living utensils. It was just an empty house.
But now, behind every piece of furniture, there are tons of memories——
At the table facing the door, they had dinner together and talked about the real "adventure" they would start after forming an adventure team.
In the kitchen, there are "affordable and easy-to-use" pots and pans carefully selected by Yi Aier - although Will has repeatedly told her that the funds are sufficient and there is no need to save on these.
