"In that case, I must trouble Teacher to lend this book to me." Roxy happily accepted the book on magic circles that Dan Feng had mentioned earlier, then looked earnestly at Bloody Kant.
Bloody Kant gazed at this student brimming with thirst for knowledge and felt a surge of gratification. Back when she had first seen the special girl among the Migurd race, she had been drawn in by Roxy's intense desire to learn.
She had previously thought Roxy only wanted to study magic and was curious about the outside world, but now it seemed there was more to it.
Now she had already grown into a Water Saint-class magician and had even found herself a lover.
Though she herself apparently still had no lover.
She smiled and replied, "I understand. Anyway, I only wrote it to leave on the bookshelf. If it can help you, then take it." Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if she did not particularly care where the book ended up.
Hearing her teacher's words, the smile on Roxy's face grew even brighter.
She quickly thanked her: "Then thank you so much, Teacher. Dan Feng and I will be leaving first—we need to hurry back to school for classes." With that, she turned to look at Dan Feng, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Dan Feng also gave a faint smile and nodded. The two bid farewell to Bloody Kant together and left her room.
They had only come to visit Bloody Kant and had not planned to stay long anyway.
After all, Roxy now possessed Red Dragon blood, and she was filled with anticipation for that blazing courage divine strike magic circle—she could not wait to try it out.
After Dan Feng and Roxy left the inn, Roxy suddenly seemed to remember something important. She tightly grabbed Dan Feng's hand and, without another word, dashed off in one direction.
Until they arrived at a place full of delicious food.
Now that they had money, why not eat to their hearts' content?
Thus, Roxy took out her money pouch and began frantically buying everything.
Because in Roa, Roxy had conveniently exchanged some smaller-denomination silver coins at the Adventurers' Guild, she now decided to eat every single new thing she had never tried here.
As people often say, when someone suddenly acquires a lot of wealth, they tend to engage in retaliatory consumption. That was exactly what Roxy was doing now.
Not long after, Dan Feng looked at the growing pile of food in his hands and showed a helpless faint smile.
Roxy bought double portions every time, so before Dan Feng could even finish eating, several more servings appeared.
Once Roxy was full, she stopped buying.
However, before leaving Ars, Roxy took Dan Feng to a dessert shop in Ars and went on a massive spending spree, purchasing all kinds of desserts.
"Will we be able to finish buying so much?" Dan Feng asked Roxy doubtfully.
At that moment, Roxy was still taking small bites of a dessert she had never tried before. Happiness overflowed from her face—even though she was already full, she could still make room for this dessert.
After hearing Dan Feng's question, Roxy paused her eating and declared righteously, "Of course we can't finish it all, but we can save it and eat it slowly on the road."
"Alright then."
...
A few days later, Dan Feng and Roxy arrived in Roa once again.
They planned to take the same route back to the Ranoa Kingdom as before, since it was the shortest path.
However, before that, Dan Feng still intended to take Roxy to the Adventurers' Guild.
"Huh? Why are we going to the Adventurers' Guild?" Roxy's water-blue eyes looked at Dan Feng in confusion.
After pondering for a moment, Dan Feng slowly said, "To have that magician pass a message to Sauros and the others."
"Huh?"
When Dan Feng and Roxy arrived at the Adventurers' Guild again, the sharp-eyed staff member immediately noticed them.
She approached with a smile to greet Dan Feng and Roxy.
"Is there anything I can help you two esteemed adventurers with?" The staff member asked ingratiatingly.
"Call that magician out," Dan Feng said calmly.
Soon after, the magician hurriedly ran out. Dan Feng then instructed the magician to pass a message to Sauros and the others: that he might come to subjugate the Red Dragon again in the future, and they could sell it to them at that time.
This way, Dan Feng gained another connection—one to the Boreas family, no less.
Even if it was not useful at the moment, having one more contact was never a bad thing. It might come in handy someday and could serve as a backup plan.
After finishing these instructions, Dan Feng prepared to leave the Adventurers' Guild with Roxy. However, just as they turned to depart, a child suddenly appeared in front of them.
Dan Feng looked closely and felt the child seemed somewhat familiar, but for a moment he could not recall where he had seen him.
He originally did not want to get involved and just wanted to leave quickly with Roxy, but the child suddenly called out to stop him.
"Adventurer! We meet again!" The child's voice was very loud. Dan Feng could not help but stop and turn around.
Only then did he realize that this child was the one he had seen at the banquet in the Asura Kingdom.
Paul had clearly recognized Dan Feng as well. He looked exceptionally excited and greeted Dan Feng with a big smile.
Ever since Paul had run away from the Notos residence, he had wandered around like a headless fly, completely lost.
Fortunately, he had kept following a main road and eventually arrived at a village.
The village was called Buena Village. The villagers were very kind to Paul—they not only provided him with food and temporary lodging but also told him where he was and which direction to head.
Only then did Paul realize that he had been heading toward the city of Roa all along. He remembered that Roa had many adventurers, so he hurried in this direction without hesitation.
He planned to become an adventurer in Roa and then find some swordsmanship dojos to learn other sword styles.
Dan Feng turned to look at Paul and asked expressionlessly, "What is it?"
"My name is Paul Greyrat. I want to become an adventurer—so what do I have to do?"
Dan Feng: ...
"Go to the front desk first and have the staff fill out the form for you. Then go to the request board over there, find a commission, and raise your adventurer rank." Dan Feng said speechlessly. He had stopped him just to ask how to become an adventurer?
If it were not a child, he would not have stopped at all—he would have simply ignored him coldly. If the kid dared to pester him, he would have beaten him up.
"I see! You must be a powerful adventurer, right?" Paul looked at the cold Dan Feng. As someone who trained in the sword, he was relatively sensitive to fighting spirit as well. He could faintly sense the oppressive aura emanating from Dan Feng.
