Chapter 165 Leaving For The Academy 2
?
At that time, after we left the adventurer guild, we went to an inn to rest for a while.
Because I was also a bit tired of that constant traveling, and Night was tired too.
However, there was one simple problem.
This girl beside me didn't have any money on her.
And she had a useless pride.
"So, are you saying you will sleep outside? Because you don't want me to pay for you?"
"Yes."
"Nonsense. Where was this attitude while freeloading from me for the past three days."
"….."
"Right. So, leave that stupid pride of yours and accept my goodwill. In the end, we are both using ourselves for our own good."
Though in the end, she accepted after hearing this.
*****
The following day after waking up, Callius started thinking about what he wanted to do while looking at the notes he had taken.
'Hmm… It seems I haven't missed anything. Good.'
After confirming that everything was ready before going to the academy, he met with the Lirienne at breakfast.
"Now, you already know what I am going to do, right?"
And he stared at the talk.
"Yes."
"Then, what is your answer?"
"I will come with you."
The girl Lirienne had a strange look on her face while she was saying.
'Because I can't go anywhere even if I want….. Also, strangely, being with this annoying guy doesn't bother me so much.'
Although she didn't know, she had already become a little attached to the boy in front of him while eating the meals he had prepared for the last three days and traveling with him back to back.
"Good. That is the right choice."
In the case of Callius, it was slightly different.
'As expected, she is still pursuing strength. She can't live with such skills anyway.'
'Though her combat skills are not that bad, she still has a long way to learn how to live as an independent person.'
'Because she is a sheltered-ignored princess.'
That was what he thought.
And soon following that, they left the dining room and started packing their things.
Because it was time to leave the city.
*****
After they left Lismore City, they headed towards the closest biggest city they could find.
Because they were going to use the teleportation.
And it didn't take too long for them to reach there either.
One day of riding on horseback was enough for that.
Though, before they left, they had also bought some clothes for Lirienne…. Which took quite a long time….
Know that in these past two years, Callius was not simply staying idle and trying to increase his strength.
He was also trying to find some talented people and making some investments all around.
Like purchasing some businesses, some lands that would soon be the center of attention, or investing in businesses that had a very bright future ahead, just like Dorakorli Copperhide….
And because the money was basically flowing to him from a channel named Dorakorli, and he was doing a lot of quests and dungeon explorations, the money he had was not ending.
Though it never reached too much greater heights, it was enough for now.
That was the reason why he was never shy about spending his money.
Because he knew the money was not going to end soon.
Anyway, because of all those things, here they were.
In the Vledence City.
In the city hall that was filled with a lot of people.
And in the middle of that, both of them were standing in the queue.
Waiting for their turn to come.
And their turn came not long after.
"Sir, where is your destination?"
"The capital."
"Aurora City, right?"
"Yes."
"Understood. Will it be for two people?"
"Yes."
"Then, please, both of you, show your ID's here."
And, it was the same process Callius had done before.
Though, it was not the case for the girl named Lirienne.
Because she never left the palace and even if she had left, she mostly used carriages…..
And the results were pretty embarrassing.
"Burgkh-"
With her puking down to the ground all around the place.
"Slow down for a second."
Even though she wanted to hold her puke because she tried so hard to suppress it, in the end, it backfired….
Letting everything in her stomach pour to the ground….
Though, the hand that was patting her shoulder made her calm down.
'This guy…. He is touching me.'
/SLAP/
With her hand slapping the hand on her shoulder, she glared at him.
"Don't touch me."
Seeing this, though, Callius was unfazed because he expected such a reaction.
"Okay."
Then retake his hand.
"Welcome to the capital, dear passengers."
In front of the crowd that was piled up after the session of using the teleportation gate, there was a man standing.
With a sweep of his hand, suddenly, a bright green air passed through the passengers that were waiting in front of the gate, leaving a smooth scent.
While also cleaning the pukes on the ground…
"I will be your guide."
The atmosphere that Callius was familiar with while traveling using the gates.
It was nowhere to be seen.
The number of people using the gates and the number of gates that were appearing all around was different from anything normal.
Because it was huge, both the number of people and the number of gates were very huge.
The hall they were standing, the walls, the engravings on the walls, the guides the system, it was like a difference between professional work and amateur work.
Though, because of that huge number, people were not easily able to find their way to get out of the place.
Because the arrangements were a lot more complex to use lands efficiently.
Everything was different from the cities Callius saw before.
And in the midst of all that, Callius and Lirienne started walking while following the guide.
Until they finally got out of that maze-looking place.
And the scene that welcomed them was something Callius was familiar with.
"Wow."
But, Lirienne was not.
'Wow.'
Though even Callius, who saw the scene in the game for almost fifteen hours, was also surprised.
Surprised because of how beautiful and nostalgic it was.
"The city of Aurora. Here I come."
With that mumble, he stepped up onto the city that would be the place where he would step on many others….
