I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Diana named the little fox "Whitey," which caused it to throw a tantrum. It only gave in after a barrage of treats.

After several days of travel, Diana and Little White finally arrived at Scott City, a western border town!

Scott City is quite large, surrounded by high walls, with a moat at the base of the walls and a drawbridge connecting the city gates to the outside world.

A blue flag with an eagle design was hanging on the city wall.

He landed in a deserted place and took out the Austin College badge, pinning it to his chest.

We walked towards the city gate from the main road, and carriages entered the city one after another.

We followed them into the city. Although there were guards at the gate, there was no city fee like in the capital, which was quite good.

"Finally, we can eat normal food again!"

Diana almost burst into tears of joy.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple, which perfectly describes Diana.

Having gotten used to the delicious food at the academy, she was desperate after eating mostly dry rations during her travels these past few days.

After entering the city, Diana took Little White and began to devour all kinds of delicious food!

Diana found the Austin College badge quite useful; people who saw it were very polite to her, and some vendors even offered to give her freebies.

They asked the merchants about the location of the Adventurers' Guild.

Before entering the Eternal Forest, she needed to gather more information. How could something as important as the Water of Life be found so easily?

The Adventurers' Guild is definitely a great place to gather information.

Upon arriving at the guild, I found it to be quite lively, with groups of two or three coming and going.

"So this is the Adventurers' Guild! It looks pretty ordinary!"

Diana looked around at the ordinary two-story building in front of her; apart from being a bit big, it had no special features.

Upon entering the guild, one is immediately surrounded by a cacophony of conversations and arguments!

After walking around for a while, I found the place where tasks were posted. There were many task posting papers on one wall.

As Diana was reviewing the mission, a gruff voice rang out from behind her.

"Kid, this isn't a place for you to play!"

Seeing that she ignored him, the bald, burly man went over and planned to drag her out.

Before the hand could reach behind her, a white claw swiftly scratched at it.

Little White bared its teeth at him.

The careless bald man had three bloody scratches on the back of his hand before he noticed the white fox on her shoulder, and he became somewhat angry.

"You beast, how dare you hurt me!"

He reached out and grabbed at Little White.

Diana turned around, pushed her hand forward, and a gust of wind sent the bald man flying several meters away, where he rolled several times on the ground.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~ Mark! Have you been wandering around alleys too much at night? You got pushed around by a little kid!"

"I think he's just weak; he can't even stand up straight."

Mark scrambled to his feet, glaring at Diana.

Diana acted too quickly; he didn't even see it clearly.

Hearing the laughter around me, I really thought I was too weak and that I had just been careless.

"Little brat, I was careless just now. Hand over the fox and kowtow to apologize, so that others won't say I'm bullying the weak!"

Diana looked at the bald, burly man with disdain.

"Sir! Are you sure you want me to apologize?"

Diana's robes fluttered even without wind, and a gust of wind pressure rushed towards Mark's calf.

Before anyone could react, Mark let out a scream and knelt down, his knees hitting the ground hard.

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and only then did everyone begin to look at Diana.

"A magician...?"

"The badge on her chest! Isn't that the symbol of Austin College!"

"No wonder he became a magician at such a young age!"

Mark was both ashamed and angry, but he was helpless. Austin Academy was too big for him to mess with.

His teammates quickly stepped forward to help him up, and he slunk away.

Diana scoffed and continued checking the quest wall.

After looking for a while, I found that most of the tasks were miscellaneous, and most of them involved collecting various medicinal herbs.

Some escort missions, some chase away wild animals, and even some pet-finding missions!

Upon arriving at the front desk, she was greeted by a young woman wearing a low-cut uniform that revealed a large expanse of her fair skin.

Unable to resist taking a second look, Diana asked:

"Hello! Can I buy information here?"

The woman looked down at Diana in surprise, but still smiled and said:

"You can call me Mary. What kind of information would you like to buy? Some information is free!"

"I want to buy information about the Water of Life."

Mary was startled and joked:

"How could such a thing exist? It's just a rumor! After all, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes."

Diana felt somewhat helpless.

"What about information about the Eternal Forest and the elves?"

Mary pondered for a moment.

"Those aren't any important pieces of information. Wait a moment, I'll go get them for you."

"Thank you, Sister Mary!"

After a short while, Mary came over carrying some booklets.

"All the information you requested is here!"

After saying thank you, Diana accepted the booklets.

Mary added:

"You'll need to pay a deposit if you want to take it back!"

Diana said as she flipped through the pages.

"I'll just take a look."

I quickly checked it and found that it was similar to the materials in the college library.

The only useful thing was a map that marked the location of the Elven lands.

'That's good! Now they won't be running all over the forest anymore!'

I thanked her again and returned the documents to Mary.

Seeing that Diana really intended to find the Water of Life, Mary advised her:

"You're not really planning to go to the Eternal Forest to find the Water of Life, are you? That's just a rumor. Besides, there are many ferocious beasts and magical beasts in the forest! It's very dangerous!"

Diana looked very serious.

"This is something I have to do!"

Mary sighed and did not stop her.

Diana left the guild with Little White and then began buying large quantities of various foods.

Time is paused within the spatial bracelet, making it an excellent tool for preserving delicious food!

Diana's large purchase of food attracted the attention of many people. She had already noticed that someone was following her, but she didn't care at all.

After all, in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile!

Diana plans to stay in the city for one night and head to the Eternal Forest first thing tomorrow morning.

They found a decent hotel and checked in, along with the fox.

The group that had been following Diana watched her enter the hotel, and then they retreated back into the alley.

The leader gave the order:

"Keep a close eye on her. That girl might have a spatial artifact. If we pull this off, we'll be rich!"

A person standing nearby stammered:

"B-Big brother, she...she's wearing the Austin Academy badge! Isn't this...isn't that a bit inappropriate!"

The leader kicked the person who was speaking to the ground.

"Who told you to rob us so openly? If you had waited until we were in a secluded place, you could have done it more cleanly. Who would have known it was us!"

His younger brother's words reminded him that since the girl was a student at Austin Academy and dared to come to such a distant border alone, she must be a magician with some skill.

We probably can't handle this fat sheep with just a few of us; we need to find some help!

"You lot better keep a close eye on them. If you lose them, I'll chop you all up!"

The henchmen nodded frantically in agreement!

The leader vanished into the alleyway as a blur.

At this moment, Diana was lying sprawled out on the bed, fast asleep, and Little White imitated her, lying down beside her.
