New day. After breakfast, Hylial and Talil went to Winnie’s house. Little Randy was also playing in the living room, holding a large ball of yarn. “You’re here.” Winnie walked out of the kitchen, bringing freshly baked cookies and offering them to the two. “Have some.” She then picked up Randy, took him back to his room to play by himself, and began their first formal lesson. “First, I need to assess Miss Lia’s mastery of text.” She placed a thick book on the table. “This is *The…-

Chapter 11: Brief Stability The next day, Hylial went to the Apothecaries’ Guild and bought a Medicinal Herb Identification Guide. The clerk also thoughtfully gifted her a Hemostatic Potion Recipe. The Gardeners’ Guild, on the other hand, was rather rudimentary. Burntstone City wasn't a very wealthy place, and not many people cared for flowers and gardening. Only common flower seeds were sold there, with no cornflowers, and the gardening knowledge books were quite thin. She placed a wooden chair in…

Chapter 10: Visiting Winnie's Family Entering a quiet alley, Talil led Hylial to a door and gently knocked. "Sister, are you home? It's Talil." After a moment, footsteps sounded from inside the house, and then the door creaked open, revealing a woman who bore some resemblance to Talil. She had the same auburn hair, but styled in a braid over her shoulder, and wore an apron. Though her appearance wasn't striking, she exuded a gentle and virtuous aura. Beside her was a boy of about five. "Come, say…

Chapter 9: The Adventurer of Brute Force After settling down in Burntstone City, Talil took Hylial to visit her sister Winnie's residence. "Grandpa said to ask Sister to find me a job in Burntstone City, otherwise, playing with the village idiots all day will make me an idiot too," Talil complained softly as they walked. This was also why she followed Hylial to Burntstone City. Hearing this, Hylial couldn't help but chuckle. "What kind of job does Sister Winnie do in the city now?" "Her? I don't know,…

Chapter 8: Girl Under the Moon The iron bells hanging from the carriage swayed, accompanied by crisp sounds, as the caravan slowly moved along the road on the hillside. "That must be Burntstone City," Hylial said, looking out the window at the city built into the mountainside. Just like its name, the stone bricks on it had many charred marks, as if it had been through a great fire. "Exactly, we'll be in Burntstone City soon," said Van der Heath, the merchant, riding his horse past Hylial's carriage.…

Chapter 7 Cold Mist Wine Minutes later, bright lights illuminated the inn. Several cavalrymen bound the man with thick ropes. As for the wound on his shoulder, it was simply bandaged to stop the bleeding. Many people gathered in the inn, curiously observing and asking questions, whispering among themselves. Inside a room, Captain Friein, the innkeeper, and the merchant Van der Heath were all present. Hylial and Talil sat by the bed. "After that shadow bumped into me and woke me up, I immediately called…

Chapter 6: Shadow in the Dark Night (Thanks to MagnoliaSnow for becoming the alliance leader) The Next Day "Move it, folks." "Pack everything up, don't leave anything behind." As dawn was breaking, shouts echoed from the caravan's campsite. Several team leaders urged their members to pack up their belongings and load them onto the carriages. Originally, the caravan led by Van der Heath was supposed to leave after two days, but considering the presence of the crimson giant wolf, the caravan feared…

Chapter 5: Acquiring the Breathing Technique (Thanks to little Qing Ji, the great victorious alliance leader) Night, in the forest behind the village. Hylial stood quietly in the moonlit clearing, eyes closed. The silver moonlight fell upon her, casting a faint glow on her hair and dress, making her appear serene and slightly divine. She slowly adjusted her breathing, gradually seeking out the obscure rhythm of her blood within her body, then steadily immersed herself in it, synchronizing her breath,…

Chapter 4: Power of Aspects and Basic Swordsmanship (Thanks to Grand Mistress Shen Qi for wanting to be close to Alice) Late at night, Hylial finally lay quietly in bed, while Talil slept on the wooden floor of the same room. Due to the warm Aurora Wind Season, it wasn't cold even in autumn; in fact, some of the heat still lingered. Today had truly been eventful, Hylial thought, finding it difficult to sleep. As she closed her eyes, various memories and images raced through her mind. What exactly was…

Chapter 3: The Castle · School of Monarchy In the village square, the cavalry captain, who had just led his men in, turned his horse around and engaged the giant wolf with his broadsword. Although his strike drew a trickle of blood from the wolf's mouth, it didn't truly injure it. Instead, the captain was knocked off his horse due to wielding the sword with one hand. If he hadn't been experienced enough to roll away in time, he would likely have been torn apart by the giant wolf's claws. Gasping for…
