1174 Settling Down Yet Again
Whoosh! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Whew... finally here."
Standing a few dozen meters away from the entrance to Daffors Village, a faint smile appeared on Valyr's face as memories from his past life began surfacing in his mind.
From the times he spent honing his strength for days on end just to be of greater help to the village, to the times he spent forming connections with both NPCs and players alike in preparation for his journey to the wider world of Greater Beyond.
"Definitely good times," murmured the young man to himself with a chuckle before finally deciding to head inside.
Swoosh!
Reactivating [Thousand Polymorph] to change his appearance to that of his Ylvar identity, Valyr briefly thought about the journey he took to get to this exact village.
Considering that it was already deep into the night when he teleported to the town that was nearest to the village, it went without saying that the staff member manning the Teleportation Hall of that Blacksmith Guild's branch was surprised that someone like him would appear.
Fortunately, when he briefly introduced himself to the man as Ylvar, the staff member's energy took on a 180 degree turn, seemingly thanking the heavens for being able to interact with a living legend.
With the man's help, he was able to get a map of the settlements that were connected to the town he was in, including the village that he planned to settle down in for a while.
Giving the man a bit of money as thanks for his help, he then left town after grabbing a quick meal before activating [Flash of the Azure Dragon] in order to reduce the travel time.
Though it would've taken him less time to arrive at Daffors Village if he were to activate [Flight of the Azure Dragon], the distance between Leivard Town and Daffors Village wasn't that far for him to warrant its usage.
Then again, even if he were to use it, he would've still arrived at the village pretty late at night.
'Now... where does the village leader reside again?' Jogging his memory of the village's layout from his past life, Valyr pushed his senses a bit more than usual as a rough idea of what he planned on doing popped up in his mind.
"Wait... huh?" Taking a bit of time to regain his bearings, William looked back at him with slight suspicion. "How do you know that?"
"Let's just say Scho'doxa gave me a heads-up before I returned," replied the young man, showing no hesitation to throw the arbiter of the recent tournament under the bus.
"Hmm... if it's him, then..." Fortunately, that was more than enough for William to trust his words. "Is there anything specific that we need to do, then?"
"Not really." Valyr shook his head, only to pause for a bit. "On second thought, it'd probably be for the best if you give all of the village's problems to those beings once they arrive."
"Er... and the reason for that is...?"
"I can't explain it just yet..." The young man bitterly smiled at him. "But you'll see once the time comes."
"...Well, alright then."
After giving the village leader a heads-up on the appearance of the beings a few days from now, he then told William the reason why he was at the village in the first place, which was to set up a shop where he could sell the equipment and concoctions he created.
Of course, considering that Ylvar's identity as a blacksmith was eventually found out by everyone during the tournament, it was no surprise that the man agreed to the idea, even going so far as to give him a plot of land for the shop he planned on making.
After coming to an agreement on a few other details regarding his idea of setting up a shop, Valyr eventually bade farewell to William as he made his way to the plot of land the latter gave to him.
Seeing that the land not only covered a decently large area, but was also situated near the village's main street, the young man inwardly thanked William for his help as he began to take things out of his spatial bracelet.
"Alright. With Step 1 done... time to move on to Step 2."
"Which is... to build the shop itself."
