Chapter 347 Friends

Chapter 347 Friends

After a year and a half of enduring excruciating pain in his mind, and another six months of air travel, Adam had finally reached the capital of the Acadian Empire, the City of Acryon.

Deeply inhaling the fresh air, Adam couldn't help but grin, "The mana here is so rich. It's like you can taste it. Hahaha!"

But his laughter slowly died down when he noticed the people nearby staring at him weirdly.

His lips twitched and he started awkwardly scratching his chin, "Was I a little loud?"

Hearing this, Lisa couldn't help but roll her eyes. "A little? Really?"

Adam hurriedly switched topics. He appeared between the couple and then put his arms around their shoulders.

His eyes flashed with excitement and he stated, "Let's not dwell on the small stuff. The Old Man told me that Lychee Wine is the greatest liquor available in Acryon. Shall we go for some tasting?"

Edward couldn't help but helplessly sigh, "All you've been doing for the past half year is drinking day and night. Aren't you tired already?"Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

"What do you mean?!" Adam had an extremely wronged expression on his face. "Did you forget I was bedridden for a year and a half before we left Moon City?"

He paused for a moment before solemnly saying, "I must compensate for those eighteen months—"

But he paused when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming toward them. He turned his head and saw three beautiful women approaching them from the front.

"Edward!" Elaine rushed toward her brother and tightly hugged him. "You're finally here!"

After close to six years, the siblings were finally reunited. Edward's eyes turned watery as he hugged her back. "I missed you, Elaine..."

The brother and sister shared a heartfelt moment. Seeing this, the others couldn't help but warmly smile.

After the two separated, Elaine caressed Edward's cheeks and dotingly smiled, "You've grown so much. Last time I saw you, you still had chubby cheeks."

Edward's face flushed red and he secretly glanced at Lisa from the corner of his eyes. "D-Don't embarrass me, please!"

Elaine couldn't help but chuckle at her little brother's reaction. She then glanced at the blonde young girl, who was standing beside Edward, and beamed, "You must be Lisa! I've heard so much about you."

Without giving Lisa the chance to even reply, Elaine came forward and warmly hugged her.

Lisa was initially surprised, but then she couldn't stop smiling.

"Hello, everyone~" Amelia waved her hand with a genuine smile. "Pleasure to meet you all."

"It was alright." Edward shrugged.

The next moment, he came closer and whispered into her ears, "You don't have to cling to me so much. You're embarrassing me again."

"Hmph!" Elaine pouted. "So you think you can order your big sis around now that you've become a Rank 2 Magus?"

"S-Sorry..." Edward could only helplessly apologize.

While everyone had gone up ahead, Adam was seemingly waiting for someone. He looked around as he took a swig from his wine gourd.

"Now, where did that troublemaker go?"

Suddenly.

"Myu!"

A small, feline creature dashed toward Adam from the distance.

This cat's fur was a swirling shade of gray, like that of the storm clouds. The fur was naturally soft and silky, alive with magical energy.

What was most striking about this creature, however, was the pair of topaz eyes that gleamed with a mystical and intelligent light.

Valerian gracefully climbed Adam's body and finally sat down on his right shoulder.

"What took you so long?" Adam asked curiously.

'Was chatting with Acuila and Ennea,' replied the young dragon mentally. 'They said they'll be taken to their destination on a separate carriage.'

"Hmm." Adam nodded as he followed the group in front of him. "Let's get going. I'm famished."

As the raven-haired youth made his way out of the skyport with the group, an unassuming-looking man working at the skyship docking area secretly glanced at his departing back with a frown.

...That's the one they told us to keep an eye on?

A loud-mouthed alcoholic?

What in the world?
