Chapter 790 - Moscow

After talking with Administrator 4, there wasn't much else that Shiro wanted to ask so she turned off her skill. The moment she did this, it was like her entire body was just sapped of strength. Falling forward, Shiro wasn't able to protect herself.

Thankfully, both Stanley and Nan Tian were there so she was helped up by the two of them.

Looking up at the Garden Spirit, Shiro sighed.

"Do not be like that. You have 5 months and now you also have plenty of knowledge that no Queen should have been able to obtain at this moment." The spirit smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"Mn, it's a shame that I can't help you though." Shiro said while looking up at the spirits.

"It's fine. I've already prepared myself for this. I was created to prolong the arrival of the new age. I've played my part, it's your turn to play yours." She smiled as Shiro nodded her head. Her role was to now become the final winner of this new age so that the universe didn't reset.

Making her way to the portal with the help of Nan Tian and Stanley, the three of them were teleported out of the strange realm.

Finding themselves at the bottom of the large staircase, they took a moment to sit down for now.

With the garden shard now in her possession, she now had the main component to the anchor and the rest of it was just collecting materials native to this 'garden'. Once she does that, she'll be able to construct the main anchor.

"That was rather… fruitful wasn't it?" Nan Tian said as Shiro nodded her head.

"Mn, we learned quite a bit today. The fact that Kanae is in Russia and she's the reincarnation of Fei Lin along with the fact that Isilia's alive and your old man knows where she is." Shiro sighed. 

"Where do you want to go after this?" Nan Tian asked since that gives her quite a few things to do before the new age begins.

"I think I'm going to look for Astral Horizon's first so that I can mark it down on my map. That way I can get back to it without a teleport scroll." Shiro said as she had recovered quite a bit now. Standing up, she took a deep breath.

"I also need to get the spirits to look for materials so that I can create the anchor. Thankfully, the materials are pretty common. There are a few that are rare but I think I have enough funds to get them. All that's left is to construct it and make sure my anchor is in a safe spot." Shiro sighed.

"I can also look for you if you want. I have quite a few connections with merchants so it should help out." Stanley said as Shiro nodded her head.

Making a piece of paper, Shiro wrote down the more expensive materials that she needed and passed it to Stanley.

"For the pay-"

"Don't worry, I have more than enough money." Stanley smiled while storing the slip of paper away.

"Mn, ah also, I do have a recipe for this pill. I'm pretty sure I can get all the materials now but I'm not exactly in need of it anymore. My body is that of a Demi God so this wouldn't do much. If you want, I can give this to you since it refines the mana links." Shiro said as she pulled out the recipe for Boreas' Rebirth Pill.

"I have no need for it. You can probably give it to your party members since they probably need it more than I do." Stanley shook his head.

Shrugging her shoulders, Shiro put the recipe away.

"Anyways, I think it's about time we head back to human civilisation. I'm going to go see Kanae first before looking for Isilia. Mn…. Actually, I should give the list of materials that I need to the spirits so that they can gather it for me." Shiro said as Nan Tian agreed.

"We can visit the spirits on our way back." Nan Tian said.

"Mn, let's go back to the city first. I want to take a moment to rest since I feel quite tired. In the last few days, I have ascended to godhood for a short while and I had just removed all system restrictions not too long ago. Honestly, the fact that I'm still standing is a miracle." Shiro forced a smile.

"Everything you do is considered a miracle at this point." Nan Tian chuckled as Shiro only smiled.

"True."

Making their way back to the boat, they sailed back to the city earlier than expected. Resting up for a while, Shiro saw that the city decided to hold a small event to celebrate the short time that the three of them have been here since they're the first outsiders to integrate with the community here.

The event itself wasn't too big but it wasn't small either. There was some food prepared but in the end, Shiro decided to cook for everyone since she liked her own cooking more. If people could cook better than her, she would let them since she liked nice food but since she was the only one here that could cook a good meal, she had to put in the effort.

After the event was over, the three of them left the city.

Remembering that a teleport shrine wasn't too far away from where she was right now, Shiro decided to make a small detour to unlock it before they made their way back to the spirits. There were a few monsters that decided to ambush them as they suppressed their aura to look 'normal'.

Naturally, the outcome didn't look good for the monsters.

After unlocking the teleport shrine, Stanley decided to part ways for now since Shiro didn't need his help anything. Thinking back, she probably didn't need his help at all except for the start where she was learning the language. Other than that, she could handle it just fine.

She integrated herself easily through feeding the city with her amazing cooking whereas he had to spend quite a long time doing tasks before they could trust him.

"I'll contact the merchants about the materials that you need. Once I've bought them, shall I just send them to your parents? Naturally, I'll give them a note about it too." Stanley smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"That would be helpful. Thank you for your help so far, though teach, stay safe ok?"

"Mn, you too." Giving her a small wave, he teleported away.

"Now then, shall we go to the spirit capital?" Nan Tian smiled as Shiro nodded her head.

"Mn after that I suppose we're making a trip to Russia. To be fair, I haven't met the Russian hero yet so it'll be quite interesting to meet her." Shiro shrugged.

"Mn I haven't met her either so it'll be quite interesting to meet her." Nan Tian smiled.

Teleporting to the Spirit Capital, Shiro notified the council about the materials that she needed.

After a while of recovering, most of the council members looked pretty healthy which was good but they still needed a moment to recover.

Giving them a list of the materials she needed for anchor, the council had their scouts set this as their top priority since getting an anchor was very important.

Once she sorted out the things that she needed to do in the spirit capital, Nan Tian had one of his subordinates teleport them to Moscow where Shiro last saw Kanae's marker.

Arriving in Moscow, Shiro was not too surprised to see that it was snowing since it was Russia. Naturally, the snow didn't affect her at all.

"So how do you want to look for Kanae?" Nan Tian asked as they were essentially looking for a needle in the haystack.

"Hmm… I'm thinking of probably scanning the entire city from the skies and see if I can track Kanae's mana signature. Sure she would have classed up a few times but I'm sure I can recognise it quite easily.

"Sounds reasonable. If you want, I can also get my subordinates to search for some of her information from the guild."

"Sure."

While Nan Tian sent a message to his subordinates, Shiro camouflaged herself and flew into the sky.

Waving her hand, she sent out a single pulse of mana as it expanded to the rest of the city.
