Half-elf Notebook

The hall was brightly lit by a roaring fire and several kerosene lamps.

Mela, who was standing next to the sofa, immediately noticed the two people coming in from outside.

This time she showed no sign of panic.

He performed a very standard aristocratic greeting to Shu Xi who was approaching him.

I have to say, compared to Ina.

Mela, who received etiquette education and aristocratic influence since childhood, has obviously more natural, smoother and more elegant movements.

The temperament is impeccable.

If she was wearing a long dress instead of loose trousers.

I believe that any private etiquette tutor in the kingdom would not be stingy with his praise for Mela's learning achievements.

Of course, apart from combat and adapting to things you have never encountered before, it also involves processing capabilities.

Mela is superior to Ina in most aspects.

For example, when others talk about you at a banquet or social occasion.

She can calmly distinguish between hypocrisy and truthfulness in words, as well as the person's likes and dislikes of her attitude.

Although outside the door, Ina never answered Shu Xi's question.

But Mela could roughly determine the identity of the person.

And under the light she already recognized Shu Xi.

"Thank you for your timely rescue tonight, Baron Wayne."

Meira said calmly, smiling.

Similarly, she recognized from his clothes that Shu Xi was the one who saved her in the chaos and gave her instructions.

Shu Xi took off his hat, pressed it to his chest and saluted, saying respectfully:

"This is my duty, and it is my honor to receive your thanks and recognition, Your Highness."

"But we should have only met once or twice. I didn't expect Her Highness the Princess to remember me, a mere baron."

"This is something I'm good at. I remember all the seventy-six nobles present." Meera didn't elaborate.

Now that they had confirmed each other's identities, Mera immediately turned off the magic item.

After Shu Xi chanted a few words softly, he was enveloped by mental power.

The figures of the three people quickly blurred.

The next second, there was no one left in the hall where the fire had not yet been extinguished.

…………

The first thing that catches your eye is two long sofas placed opposite each other and a tea table.

The furnishings are very similar to those in the reception room provided by the club for guests to conduct business negotiations.

Directly in front, between the two windows.

There is a purple-red office desk on it, which is not sure whether it is caused by wood paint or natural formation.

There are several opened or unopened ink bottles, pens, and seals on it.

But more often than not, there are scattered files occupying most of the desktop.

strange place.

Ina quickly reviewed her memory and found that even though it was slightly similar, she had indeed never been here.

Following her curiosity, she walked closer to the window.

Trying to make out something from the scenery outside the window.

Then, the white-haired girl was stunned.

There was no obstruction outside the window, and it was obvious that the three people were on the second floor or above of a multi-story building.

that's the truth.

With the help of the silver moon and the faint light coming from the windows of the house.

It is not a problem to see the scenery within hundreds of meters.

There are shooting ranges, practice fields, and buildings that look like church halls.

Ina was somewhat surprised by what she saw.

It’s not because it’s incredible that these scenes appear in the city.

But because she knew them.

Isn't that church building that is about seven or eight meters high and has a heavy door the place where she tested her magic power and obtained the official title of a magician?

"Yes, this is the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild, and this room is my office."

Shu Xi's voice came from behind at the right time, attracting the attention of the two women:

"After all, I went to the Lake family to teach magic, so it's strange that Ina didn't come."

Although there was a coat rack at the entrance of the room, he didn't seem to have any intention of taking off his hat or the blood-stained wizard robe.

"We will return directly to the Central District in a moment, Your Highness."

Shu Xi's attitude remained respectful.

As a new-style baron, this cannot be missed.

Meira responded softly, but her eyes kept moving towards the white-haired girl, looking very concerned.

"You know very well that Ina will stay here."

Shu Xi seemed to know what Meila was thinking and gave the answer to a question that had never been asked.

Most of those people never welcome commoners to attend banquets as their equals at any time.

"She shouldn't be in a place like that."

Is it the so-called upper class and aristocracy’s contempt for the common people?

However, it is normal, let alone for noble men to hold banquets.

Even in the stinking saloons of the slums, the drunkards who had a few groats to buy a beer or a bottle of cheap rum would not allow a tramp to stay in the same place with them while begging for food.

It was common to be beaten and kicked out.

If it's just a few cold stares.

Ina could only say that people from the upper class were quite reserved on the surface.

While her mind was active, she noticed Shu Xi and the extra items in his hands.

A bracelet emitting magical light, with a remarkable hollow-carved inscription.

Overall, it is one of the few exquisite jewelry Ina has ever seen.

Even though the magic crystal above is only the size of a fingernail, it contains several gems that are as big as unripe beans.

A magic item made of magic crystal after undergoing shaping magic?

Ina didn't quite believe that Shu Xi would just use a magic item made of a third-level magic crystal that only looked good to get rid of herself.

Of course, even if it was true, she would not complain.

She really didn't do much, but money is still money, isn't it?

Moreover, in her opinion, this is definitely one of the most expensive jewelry among ordinary ones.

Or look at the colorful gemstone accessories and magic props on Her Royal Highness the Princess... Ina complained to herself in her heart.

And Shu Xi's subsequent words completely dispelled the white-haired girl's concerns.

"This is a space magic storage item. There are 1,000 gold coins inside, which is the reward for this dangerous commission."

He then added:

"I have already informed Helia. She is my assistant. If you need anything, you can ask for her help."

"She will help you find a room at an East Side hotel, and will have some cooperation with the guild."

"The expenses will be borne by the union. Don't go back to the Blue Zone for the next few days. Don't worry about theft. After the soldiers and prosecutors retrieve the items left behind by the princess and search for clues."

"I will ask the city lord to send workers and soldiers to carry out repairs and garrison work."

Is this considering possible retaliation from the gangs? If there really are gangs in the civilian area, can they still stand firm after losing two bronze-level killers overnight?

No... maybe more than two...

Having guessed the reason, Ina naturally did not refuse and agreed directly.

No matter what the inside story is, no matter what the situation is.

At least Uncle Shu Xi was on her side.

As long as she could get out of trouble or danger, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

Seeing that Ina agreed, Shu Xi looked at the two girls without leaving any trace, paused briefly and asked:

"Do you need some time to say goodbye?"

Ina nodded slightly.

It would be unreasonable not to return other people's things to their family members if you still have them.

Meila lowered her brows and looked a little lost.

After taking the bracelet and ring that Ina handed to her, he did not accept the exquisite flame-shaped hairpin.

"You keep this. It looks good on you."
