Chapter 48 - 46 The Timid and Proud Girl



Old White, who was brewing tea on the side, quietly put down the teacup, walked to a corner of the living room, inserted a demon crystal, and activated the central temperature control system in the magic array.

A gentle warmth, like that of a sunny day with a warm breeze, slowly wafted through, instantly warming up the whole living room.

"Sorry, it might be due to the recent drop in temperature, which might have caused some discomfort," Kael said apologetically to the reserved girl in front of him.

Yet, he was feeling somewhat skeptical in his heart.

For some reason, he seemed to recall the great battle that took place before he was transported here.

At that time, the "Bone Eater Great Chief," who led the rise of the barbarians as the new generation’s "Child of the Version," fought a deadly battle with his player guild "Strange Power Chaos God" on the banks of the Sain River at the border of two countries.

Due to the fatal mistake of the ally guild "Guns and Roses," the tribal cavalry "Eternal Legion" that should have been stopped at the border managed to meet up with the Great Chief Bone Eater ahead of time.

As a result of the pincer attack, a group of players from "Strange Power Chaos God" were outnumbered and ultimately forced to concede defeat with a GG.

Looking back now, that barbarian Bone Eater was incredibly strong, absurdly strong!

It was just unfortunate that the mission item bound to him was lost. The entire guild had been busy in the game for over a year for that quest chain, and to think that after being killed by Bone Eater, the item just exploded out of existence.

Damn, a five percent explosion chance and it actually happened, is that the strong luck buff of the "Child of the Version"?

On the contrary, Cai Ketongshen, it’s said that he had gone over to the other side of the sea for a party not long ago, found two exotic top female stars, and wouldn’t be able to log on until two days later.

Kael had planned to verbally condemn that guy’s shameful behavior as soon as he logged on, but before he got the chance, he himself was transported into "The Gate to the Underworld."

Coming back to his senses, Kael turned to the girl and asked, "You mean to say that those barbarians come from the northern wastelands? But how can you be sure of this information?"

The girl with the fluffy ponytail braid perked up when she heard Kael’s somewhat dubious question. The timid girl seemed to gain a lot more confidence all of a sudden, lifting her bowed head and placing her hand on her chest, she said very seriously:

"Let me introduce myself properly, Lily Agatha, a fourth-year student at the Secret Scroll Mage Academy, and also a pupil of Lord Luxius Parker of the Plastic Energy Science.

Please trust in a spellcaster who seeks the path of knowledge to master what they learn. I’m not bragging, but when it comes to magical knowledge, I am definitely the most learned among my peers.

I have that confidence!

After learning the Elf Language, I took out some time to learn various tribal languages. Compared to the much more complicated structure of the Elf Language, tribal languages are much more straightforward.

There’s a noticeable difference in intonation from different regions, and although those people consciously suppressed their accents, I could still tell they were from the area east of the northern wastelands."

As she spoke with pride, her slightly curved upper body exhibited the posture of someone proudly sharing her accomplishments with a close friend, while a tuft of hair she had failed to manage bounced on her head.

For some reason, Kael felt like the girl was trying to get some praise from him.

A girl with a timid nature, but an immense confidence in her area of expertise?

Such a character is easy to engage in conversation with, as long as you follow her lead. Thinking this, Kael nodded and complimented her:

"That is truly impressive. Dean Luxius is considered the premier authority in the Plastic Energy Science within the Lancaster Duchy; gaining his approval is no easy feat."

Praising someone through the acknowledgement of another, especially when that someone is a Magic Monarch, a mage with a presence in their specialized magical domain akin to that of a monarch, carries more weight than a direct compliment. It’s not something the average person can claim to have.

To be candid, being a student of such a person in itself is a testament to Lily Agatha’s exceptional talent in magic.

"Hehe, although I’m quite confident in my memory, I’m not as phenomenal as you say!"

Elanna showed a happy smile on her face.

She indeed had ample confidence in the areas she excelled at, which had been the foundation of her standing and why the Magic Monarch valued her after all these years of going to the Royal Capital, working and studying simultaneously.

"It’s quite a coincidence, too. The person who reviewed my official registration at the Mage Association was Mr. Luxius himself. I never expected to meet Mr. Luxius’s student here in the territory."

Kael still felt quite emotional when he brought up this matter.

Luxius Parker, in his past life, was also a well-known NPC among players, playing with Plasmic Spells to a divine level, a favorite among players who styled themselves as magical artillery.

It’s just...

A subtle thought flashed through Kael’s mind.

He seemed to vaguely understand why the situation in Lancaster Territory had been so odd in his previous life.

According to the first batch of players, when they entered Lancaster Territory, there wasn’t a true lord in charge.

The basic operations of the territory were managed by support nobles sent by the Noble Council.

The protection of the territory’s security was not the responsibility of any Rangers but a knight troop transferred from the Federation Royal Court, as well as support personnel from the Guild of Fransburg, the closest fortified city to the Lancaster Territory.

And the ones who gave out daily tasks to the players were the priests and nuns from the Earth Mother Goddess Church who had sought them out before the players’ arrival.

This way, the last piece of the background story of Newbie Village, which had eluded the players’ investigation in his past life, was put into place.

It was Kael’s death that attracted Elanna, the most beloved Newbie Village NPC by players back then.

Elanna’s death was the catalyst that ignited the Federation’s fury, leading the Noble Council to directly send people to take control of the Lancaster situation.

As the investigation went deeper, the conflict between the Charles brothers surfaced, attracting the Federation Magic Secret Agents’ investigation and ultimately involving players in the main questline of version 1.0.

The internal struggle between the Charles brothers attracted the attention of the Plasmic Monarch, Luxius Parker, who otherwise wouldn’t have cared about the matter.

Because he clearly remembered having a student who died under unclear circumstances in Lancaster Territory during the ongoing disputes between the Charles brothers and their descendants.

Owing to his concern for the incident, Luxius sent another of his students who had grown up, coincidentally the NPC who assisted players in class-switching to Mage during their newbie phase.

At the same time, due to the lord’s death, the Earth Mother Goddess Church, which hadn’t planned to get involved in player activities during the beta, had to contact the Fransburg Guild to dispatch more professionals to interfere with the players’ development alongside the Church.

The elite personnel from the Fransburg Guild made up the class-switching instructors for the basic professions such as Barbarian, Bard, Wanderer, Warrior, Cursed Swordsman, Druid, Martial Monk, and Ranger.

The priests and nuns sent by the Earth Mother Goddess Church became the instructors for the two basic professions, Priest and Paladin.

Thus, by the time "Door to the Underworld" officially entered open beta, Lancaster Territory had successfully become that standard Western fantasy-style Newbie Village in all players’ memories—

It was only that the map was somewhat larger, there were more people, brick-carrying was tougher, there were more soul-based elements, and the art style was a bit darker and more unconventional.

After all, it was only just a tiny bit better than other games.

Having thought this far, his gaze towards Lily also changed slightly.

Conveniently, he was planning to visit the Royal Capital this time and intended to pay a visit to Luxius Parker.
