Chapter 149 - Request

Finally! It's time to unwind from the never-ending events! Right now, we don't need to prepare for showing people Ellena's capabilities. She is now a famous and prominent individual in the city, so it won't be necessary to prove her worth.

Even though it ended in a draw, the fight was still the best for the people. When Ellena goes out as Noelle, different people bombard her with congratulations and questions.

There are also some who wish to make a connection with her, such as merchants and nobles. But of course, she didn't pay any heed to any of them. Now is not the right time.

Creating a connection could wait. We still need to raise the demand. And that demand... is to know Noelle's real identity. Also, the demand to have a connection with her. We can't just make useless connections now. We need to pick appropriately.

What if we make a connection with someone right now, and in the future, someone reaches out who was greater and wants to make a connection, learning that they have enemies with Ellena's previous connection? It could be a problematic and serious matter.

I don't practice betrayal. I don't know in Ellena's case. So that's why I recommended Ellena to make sure before making a connection with someone. We need to choose when they are in a circle, not in a line.

Sighs... now that Ellena is a White Gold ranker, she can pick higher quests. But of course, we won't go straight into one quest, we will visit the HQ.

So... we went to Verxal to ask for some help to go to the HQ.

This is a real connection! But of course, we don't want to leech over him, so Ellena asked what she could do in return.

"Don't worry about it," Verxal said.

"Even if you tell me that, I still worry about it and I insist on paying you back."

"Then how about we go to a quest together? Your party and my party? They are strong, you know."

"What's with the unnecessary boasting?" Ellena chuckled then replied to Verxal's suggestion seriously. "Sure. I am curious about what your team can do."

"And how about a mission from the HQ? What do you think?" Verxal added.

"Can we really join that? We're outsiders, you know. We aren't executives and also, my party is still inexperienced."

"Hm... Don't worry. We will just protect you... or rather, them. It will be a fun and learning experience if you're looking for experience." Verxal said.

Ellena thought of it for a second. She can't decide for them. She needs to ask this and open this to the party. And as she became thoughtful about it, she shook her head.

"I'll ask this to them. Sorry if I can't answer it immediately, " she said.

Verxal just sighed and tapped Ellena's shoulder. "Don't worry about it. We'll just have some fun. By the way, why do you need to go to the HQ?"

"Well, I have something to request. It appears that I saw some artisans in the HQ and I was testing my luck to see if I could leave a request."

"I see... Not bad. What are you requesting me to make?"

"Well... it's actually a new thing, and I don't know if it will be successful. I will tell you when it's done."

"Okay... I'll look forward to it."

Ellena just smiled as she followed Verxal. However, I was confused about why they entered the building instead. Aren't they going to the HQ?

I was anticipating it. Verxal just led Ellena into the library, and Ellena was willingly silent for the whole time. She's nonchalant.

What a weird kid. It appears like she's being confident beside Verxal, huh? Or I just read it wrong. She's as if anticipating something. I am curious.

And because of my curiosity, I asked her.

"Why are you silent? Aren't you going to ask him why we are here? In the library?"

Ellena just scoffed secretly. And what should I say? It's rude. She's being disrespectful to her guardian, now? What a big head you have, Ellena.

'I don't know why, but it feels like I don't need to ask everything. Maybe they had something like a teleportation formation?'

Oh wow... so it appears that I am becoming stupid now?

Never mind.

If they had a teleportation formation, it would surely be convenient for him. He had high privileges in the HQ since he could build a formation in the HQ. Well, it's a two-way mechanism.

Teleportation formation is something built by production rune owners where they leave a spell in a magic circle they draw. Of course, drawings are just drawings. That's where they get inside the business.

These production rune owners, that can bestow or move a spell from one medium to another are rare and highly regarded if they are known. They also tend to get paid highly as well.

It's reasonable since it makes things convenient. Like a formation that gathers mana, it can strengthen your spell if you have that formation within an artifact.

There are plenty of things that these types of people can do. And I don't have the time to call it one by one.

In the end, they stopped at a wall, which I remember. This is the place where Verxal made an interesting shout, making me get out and show myself as if I was intentionally hiding.

I don't know. Maybe he really had strong sensing skills, so he could feel my presence. It doesn't matter anyway.

He touched every corner and, within a few seconds, a snapping sound resonated and the wall became a door, opening.

Hoh... so it was this place? I was right that it was a secret room and turned out to be the room for the teleportation formation.

I was hoping for something and turned out to be a failure. Nevertheless, I don't care about it anymore. Ellena is strong now, and she's getting stronger every time. We had plenty of points from the unnecessary taunts we made.

Well, for others, it's unnecessary, but for us, it's important. Right now, Ellena is still level 5 but can now exhibit strong abilities. The only problem is, how can she handle the pressure of having plenty of abilities.

Her proficiency in other abilities is at least 35%, and she can't train them every day. Her lightning was the highest, next to her Footwork and Arm Acustomization.

Well, let's not think of it right now. We can just save some points and buy the Stamina Pool ability, which is now at 1000 points. It's cheap now since we can have plenty of points.

And what can I say? This Fear System makes the host get stronger every time the host receives points and exchanges them.. But of course, only those who have wise decisions can exploit the system's kindness.
