Before leaving, Eloline borrowed a loose cloak from the kind older sisters and barely managed to stuff her wings, tail and dragon horns into it.
After everything was packed up, Eloline decided to continue her journey to find her parents, but before that, it was time for her to go see her old friends.
The world is very big. If Eloline wants to fly from the east to the west, it will take at least half a year.
She traveled around the world these years, gradually getting further and further away from the Silver Eagle Empire. In addition, she encountered various things during her journey, so she did not go back to the Silver Eagle Empire on purpose.
Now that she is able to use shapeshifting magic, she can visit old friends in a new appearance.
The image of a little blonde girl emerged in Eloline's mind.
I guess the kid has grown up...
PS: No one would say that it is unreasonable not to go back to see Lika Luo for eight years... You have to know that they are not lovers or family members now, and their status in my heart is really not that important qwq
By the way, I'm helping my friend to do a PY - "Can't the villain be a good person?"
=====Below is the introduction=====
Luke: "Why can't villains spread the glory of God?"
The noble young man Luke Horns is a villain among villains. Even the big boss wants to tear him into pieces. In order to escape the devastating ending, he gloriously became a priest and spread the glory of the only God in remote places.
He thought he could live his life in peace.
Until he met the witch of iron and blood, Alyssa, the nearby village was inexplicably destroyed, and he appeared at the crime scene...
"I'm really not some witch's lackey... Apart from burying people occasionally, I haven't done anything bad, have I?"
Chapter 2 - Disaster 002 Human City
Eloline washed her face by the lake and looked at her reflection in the water in a daze.
This appearance really made her more fascinated the more she looked at it.
The lake water was so clear that Eloline could see many fish swimming in it. She reached her hand into the water and easily caught a fat fish.
These fish are no match for Eloline's reaction ability.
Holding the fish in her hand, the fish was still struggling violently, and Eloline bit its body without hesitation.
The scene looked somewhat horrifying, as a black-haired girl stood by the lake, eating the struggling fish in her hand raw, with the fish's blood staining the corners of her mouth.
It was only when she took the second bite that Eloline realized something was wrong.
That’s not right. I’m in human form now and don’t need to eat anymore!
Although eating it raw was still fine for Eloline, she thought that cooked food should taste better, so she found some branches and hay and made a simple bonfire.
"flame."
Eloline used the fire elemental magic in her body to release dragon language magic. Although there were very few elements left in her body, she had no problem lighting a fire.
So she sat on the ground and grilled the fish leisurely.
Although there was no seasoning such as salt, the aroma of the grilled fish still aroused Eloline's appetite. It seemed that cooked food was still more delicious than raw food to her.
After the fish was grilled, Eloline took a bite impatiently, and then a happy expression appeared on her face.
This was the first time she had eaten cooked food since her rebirth in this world.
The familiar taste and aroma made her want to cry.
If she were asked to eat raw food again now, she would definitely not be able to do it.
Only cooked food is called food!
After wolfing down the grilled fish, Eloline found that she no longer felt hungry. It seemed that the energy required in human form would also decrease.
But Eloline still felt that she could eat more.
Eloline went and caught a few more fish and grilled them all.
Finally, she patted her flat belly and burped with some satisfaction.
A cool breeze blew, making her want to lie down by the lake and take a nap, but she still had things to do.
After washing her hands by the lake, Eloline came to the forest path she had discovered earlier.
There was a map in the small backpack she was carrying. According to the map, the area she was in now belonged to the human country.
Among the many humanoid races' countries, human countries are the easiest to blend into.
She decided to go to the nearest human city to take a look first. After all, after being reborn in a different world for so many years, she had never really understood what human civilization in this world was like.
Eloline walked along the path, and soon the road became wider and the outline of the city could be seen in the distance.
Although she looked suspicious in her black cloak, there were people who dressed like that.
As they got closer to the city, Eloline finally saw other passers-by. They were wearing all kinds of clothes, and some even looked more suspicious than Eloline.
After seeing the city gate, Eloline did not choose to approach it, but came to the bottom of a city wall.
After making sure there were no human soldiers around, Eloline jumped with all her might and jumped directly up.
To be honest, the city wall is not really that high. It is probably an underdeveloped small city.
There were also patrolling soldiers on the city walls, and before being discovered, Eloline had already jumped into the city.
The reason why she didn't enter through the city gate was not because Eloline was afraid of being discovered, but because one generally needs to pay an entrance fee to enter a human city.
Want to ask her for money? Don't even think about giving her a copper.
What's more, Eloline had no money on her. When she said goodbye to her fellow dragon people, she refused the money given by those fellow people.
She wants to accomplish everything by her own efforts.
After seeing the streets of human cities with her own eyes, Eloline realized that her previous guess was wrong. Human cities were not as dirty and messy as she had imagined.
You have to know that Eloline, who was well-versed in the history of the earth, knew that the streets of most European cities in the Middle Ages were quite dirty, and there was no decent drainage system or garbage disposal system. The city was full of various rodents and fleas. Otherwise, the Black Death would not have spread so quickly.
Eloline has always thought that the humans in this world were like those in medieval Europe. After all, the architectural styles are all very Western, and there is no trace of Chinese architecture at all.
However, the neat streets, clean and decent pedestrians, and very beautiful green environment in front of her made Eloline feel that the world was still very beautiful.
The languages of most human countries are similar. Even if there are differences in pronunciation, they are very similar in writing.
So Eloline found the adventure guild in the city according to the signs on the roadside.
This kind of organization might be standard in the other world, and she decided to make some money here.
Eloline had no intention of becoming an adventurer. She took the mission purely out of temporary need, so she walked into the Adventure Guild, selected a commission that had a generous reward and seemed simple to her, took the commission paper and left.
The whole process only takes a few seconds, very clean and neat, without any delay.
The process of resolving the commission is also very simple.
In the eyes of the staff of the Adventure Guild, a strange guy in a cloak took on a very difficult commission, and then came back not long after, holding a commission paper signed by the client.
"Give me money."
After handing the commission paper to the staff, Eloline extended her hand.
When the staff member heard Eloline's voice and looked at her fair little hands, he was stunned for a moment.
"Ahem, excuse me, can you give me a reward?"
Eloline felt that she might have been a little impolite just now, so she repeated it again.
"…Here, 10 gold coins in total."
"Thank you."
After receiving the money, Eloline immediately turned around and left. Several humans wanted to talk to her, but she simply ignored them.
She didn't want to have any contact with these humans. This city was quite far away from Ed Fallon. She came here just to make some money and to make things more convenient in the future.
Then Eloline went for a walk in the market again. She just looked but didn't buy anything. Her main purpose was to confirm the purchasing power of 10 gold coins.
The final result made her very satisfied. The reward for the previous commission was indeed generous. You know, when she fought with the monster being conquered, she did not kill it instantly, but let the monster struggle for half a minute.
When it comes to daily consumables like vegetables, fruits, and meat, 10 gold coins can buy enough for a normal person to last for several years.
After learning about the purchasing power of gold coins, Eloline decided to take on a few more tasks. They wouldn't take long anyway, so she might as well save up some gold coins first.
PS: I am so miserable, I can’t collect it and I can’t get any votes QAQ.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 003 Broken Dreams
Eloline set a record in the city's adventure guild for [completing more than ten difficult tasks alone in one day]. Those adventurers who had never seen the world thought that some powerful person had come to experience life.
After all, truly capable people will not come to the Adventure Guild to do quests, because they can do many things that pay far more than the commissioned tasks.
Eloline stuffed the more than one hundred gold coins she earned into her backpack with great satisfaction.
Gold coins are basically universal in human cities, but because of the different coinage levels of different countries, the purchasing power of gold coins from different countries may vary.
But these gold coins are indeed real gold, not fake coins with gold-plated surface.
For some reason, Eloline felt very comfortable when she looked at those orange gold coins.
Eloline is not stingy. She is willing to spend money as long as it is good for her.
So after trying all the delicious food in the city, she continued on her journey to Ed Fallon.
This will be another long journey, and it is estimated that the flight will take a month.
Eloline's dream used to be to experience life and travel around the world, and she has actually realized this dream, but now she feels a little bored.
The only remaining goal is to find her parents, but Eloline no longer has much hope for this. At least on this continent, she can't find any trace of her parents.
So Eloline really believed that it was the gods who created her body. Although people in this world believe in various gods, no one can prove whether the gods really exist.
Of course, none of this mattered to Eloline. What she had to do now was to visit her old friends.
Licaro, Xia, Vitian, and a fruit wolf named Surana, these are all the friends of Elorin.
Eloline did feel a little guilty for not going back to visit for so many years.
I wonder how they are doing now?
I'm a little bit looking forward to it.
-------------------------------------
In a field full of flowers, a girl squatted by the river, put her helmet aside, and washed her face with the cool river water.
Her golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight.
The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, but unfortunately it was impossible to tell her figure because she was wearing armor that covered her entire body.
The workmanship of this armor is very sophisticated, and its defensive power is obviously much stronger than those crudely made armors. This alone shows that the girl's background is extraordinary.
The armor is made of plate armor with many strange patterns engraved on it. People who know the subject should know that these are traces of enchantment, and the armor has been strengthened with magic power.
It costs a lot to make this armor, and it is the best guarantee that the girl’s father can give her.
The girl is Licaro Edfallon, she is seventeen years old this year. At this moment, her face is full of fatigue and her mental state is very bad.
When Licaro wanted to go out for training, her father and mother naturally disagreed.
So she ran to the southern wilderness to find her second brother who was stationed there, and joined the Warcraft subjugation team for half a year.
She left a deep impression on every comrade and also convinced her parents with her actions.
Since she started learning swordsmanship, Licaro has been working harder than ordinary people. In addition, she has a strong learning ability and is willing to endure hardships, so she has made rapid progress.
At the same time, under Xia's persuasion, Licaro finally began to learn magic. With her talent for magic, her progress was also very fast.
Now, as long as she puts down her sword, she can become a magician, and with enough magic power, she does not need a staff to assist in casting spells.
Likalo is proficient in both swordsmanship and magic, which is also her means of protecting herself far away from home.
In order to avoid being too conspicuous, Licaro erased the emblem of the Edfallon family and began her journey as an ordinary knight.
Even if others knew that Licaro was a woman, they couldn't see what she looked like, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
Licaro did not choose to be a loner. She founded a knight order and looked for like-minded partners to join. Although the number of knights in the order was small, the atmosphere was very warm and everyone helped each other, which made Licaro very happy.
But that was all in the past...
A gust of wind blew up Likalo's hair and blew away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The scenes she had experienced not long ago often appeared in her mind. Among the members of the Knights, she was the only one who survived in the end.
