Um......

Twenty minutes have passed, and she still hasn't noticed her.

The level of vigilance is inadequate.

Xize made this judgment.

He made almost no attempt to disguise himself; he simply stood there.

The two were separated by almost only a huge tavern sign.

Since people shouldn't engage in strenuous exercise right after eating, Xize booked her a hotel room to rest in the day before and arranged for them to meet near the tavern at the town's entrance the next day.

The child stood there blankly, not even bothering to hide under the eaves of the nearby house when the sun was up; instead, he just stood there in the sunlight waiting for him.

Although Xize's evaluation of her isn't great in other aspects, she's quite good at being punctual. Even though she seemed like she wanted to run away yesterday, she still obediently waited for him here in the end.

They even arrived half an hour early.

If only she weren't so nervous.

She kept pacing back and forth, her hands gripping her staff tightly—a clear sign of anxiety.

With only ten minutes left until their agreed time, Xize, seeing her covered in sweat, didn't intend to make her wait any longer.

"Hey, this way."

He greeted them by waving his hat.

This is his newly bought cap.

The girl looked this way, and he quickly ran over.

"Here, this is for you."

As Xize said this, he handed over what he was holding.

"This is......?"

Nelly looked over with a puzzled expression.

The hat in his hand was clearly no ordinary hat; it was a piece of equipment, and a very valuable one at that.

Judging by appearances, it's at least at the Silver tier.

"This is the Whirlwind Spell Hat. It has two low-level spell slots fixed on it. As long as you inject magic power into it, you can cast it instantly."

"One of them is [Lightness], and the other is [Wind Assistance]."

The effect of "lightening the body" is, as the name suggests, to make your body lighter.

【Wind Assist】, on the other hand, allows the body to gain a sustained propulsion for a short period of time, which feels like the wind is pushing you.

The combination of these two factors can even allow lower-level professionals with lighter abilities to achieve the effect of flight for a short period of time.

However, releasing two skills at the same time is quite difficult for low-level professionals, but with this hat, things are different.

The two spell slots on this hat are precisely the two fixed spells, which can be cast instantly at crucial moments.

This makes the hat quite valuable.

"Take this first; it's for your safety. Nelly—may I call you that?"

Xize glanced at her.

The latter quickly reached out and took the hat from him.

"This...this is for me?!"

Nelly was taken aback.

Although she hadn't seen much of the world, she knew the value of such a piece of equipment, especially since it was a hat—among all equipment, the hat had a rather special significance, since it was closest to the brain and could respond to mental energy at the fastest speed.

Headgear is usually not very large, and it is difficult to add magic to it. However, this hat not only has two spell slots, but they complement each other, making its value incalculable!

"I'm just entrusting it to you for safekeeping and use temporarily. Be careful not to lose it."

"By the way," Xize said, "you can also call me by my first name."
