Chapter 135, Page 134: Cupid's Gaze, Learning New Magic

Guild headquarters, underground altar.

Fels maneuvered the white owl and silently landed in the shadow of an ancient tree near the Astrea Familia.

He then slowly extended his skeletal hand and removed a ring inlaid with obsidian.

"Uranus".

The ring floated in the air with his movements and slowly pushed forward. "Combined with the report just sent by the Ganesha Familia, and these images, that young man's fighting style is quite unusual."

Fels' tone was calm but serious. "If I may be so bold, his performance completely exceeded the scope of a normal adventurer, even—exceeded the scope of 'humanity'."

Uranus, seated on the altar, opened his eyes and accepted the ring.

When the images captured by the owl and the written reports from the Ganesha clan appeared before his eyes at the same time, his always serious brows gradually furrowed.

While examining it, he lightly tapped the armrest with his knuckles and pondered:

"Pure violence to the extreme, unparalleled power. Hmm, definitely not normal."

The scene of Gu Yuan slashing away a level 4 enemy with a single sword strike made his gaze slightly narrow. "This posture does have some of the flair of the God of War Ares back then."

"But Ares is currently causing trouble in the nearby kingdom of Lajiri, it's definitely not him."

Upon hearing this, Fels withdrew his bony fingers.

Seemingly to get some air, he pulled down his hood, revealing a skeletal body as terrifying as Brook from One Piece.

He gazed at the scene, and said thoughtfully:

"Uranus, instead of speculating here, why not contact him directly?"

"If he really is the reincarnation of one of your old friends—"

Fels made a bold hypothesis: "Which faction of gods would he belong to? Could he be related to the goddess of justice?"

The speculation was not unfounded, but Uranus could not be certain.

Even if it is related, if what you did is beneficial to Orario and to all living beings, why bother digging deeper?

No one likes to be disturbed while playing a game.

Thinking of this, Uranus cast his chaotic gaze into the void. After a long while, he closed his eyes and slowly said:

"Let's continue to observe; there's too little information available at the moment."

"Even if it really is a god, as long as it doesn't show any intention to destroy the lower realm, everything is still negotiable."

"I want to stay in constant contact with the goddess of justice and know how she is growing."

Humans have limits, but gods do not.

The situation surrounding Orario is becoming increasingly chaotic.

After the video finished playing, the ring was tossed back into Fels' hand.

"Be careful, Fels."

Uranus warned.

Fels took the ring, put it back on his finger bone, and reconnected his consciousness with the owl's perspective, nodding slightly:

"clear."

Meanwhile, outside the gates of the Court of Stars.

Gu Yuan was saying goodbye to the beautiful female leader of the Ganesha Familia.

The owl soared silently high in the sky, its gaze piercing through the clouds, firmly locking onto the black-haired figure on the ground, following him all the way. However, when Gu Yuan strolled to a narrow street corner and turned, his figure disappeared into the shadows without warning.

In the guild dungeon, Fels' eyes suddenly lit up! Had he been discovered?

He immediately steered the owl to climb rapidly, soaring towards the higher horizon.

Only when the humans below were as small as ants did they see Gu Yuan's figure reappear on the street, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Seeing this, Fels secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected.

He reminded himself that he had to be more careful.

On the ground, Gu Yuan seemed completely unaware of the little incident that had just occurred high in the sky, or rather, he didn't care at all.

He weighed the magic book from the world of Frilian in his hand; the solid feel of it filled him with anticipation.

"Based on the five spells I've mastered, 'imagination,' as the root of magic, doesn't seem to be suppressed in this world."

"In that case, ten months should be enough for me to learn other valuable magic."

One cannot spend all day with killing; that would be too tedious and boring.

He put away the book and headed back to the inn where he was staying, passing by the tavern he had visited that morning—"The Abundant Mistress."

He stopped about two hundred meters away from the noisy entrance of the tavern.

Our destination was a hotel across the street that looked quieter and more unassuming—"Emerald House".

Intelligence was the primary consideration when choosing to stay here.

As the former leader of the Freya Familia, Mia Grando, even in retirement, still possesses a network of connections and information channels that are unmatched by ordinary people.

In addition, the employees who will be working at "Abundant Mistress" in the future, who are actually experts in their fields, are also worth getting to know.

Gu Yuan turned around and saw that at that moment, Mia Grando, who was as strong as a bear, was standing at the door of "The Abundant Mistress" on a high stool, replacing a damaged signboard.

Noticing the gaze behind them, their eyes met briefly in the air. Gu Yuan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then turned and pushed open the door to the "Emerald House."

"Heave-ho~"

Mia hung the brand-new signboard securely, nimbly jumped off the stool, and dusted off her hands.

He pushed open the door and entered the tavern. After returning to the counter, he skillfully tied on a clean white apron and then slightly turned his head.

My gaze fell upon the figure of a gray-haired girl silently wiping a wine glass.

Mia said in a low voice, her words drowned out by the noisy background:

"Have you seen enough? Your gaze is so intense—Goddess Freya."

"Call me Hill." The girl didn't even look up, her voice soft, but her movement of wiping the wine glass paused almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Her gaze remained fixed on the view outside the window, as if it could penetrate the wall and follow the figure that had just disappeared at the entrance of the hotel across the street.

"Ha, the way you are now is not like the obedient and enthusiastic 'good daughter' I remember."

Mia chuckled, a hint of teasing and understanding in her eyes. "What? Finally encountered a soul even you can't see through?"

"Luckily, he didn't notice the way you were acting just now."

"So what if I pay attention? Right now, I'm just an ordinary human waiter."

The girl named Hill finally put down her glass, a possessive smile that seemed completely out of place with her plain appearance.

The tavern lights reflected a rainbow of colors in her eyes, a sign that she had seen a beautiful soul.

"Hey, Mia, what's his name? Where is he from?"

Hill—or rather, Freya, the goddess of love and beauty—asked softly, the conversation confined to the two of them. Mia paused slightly as she wiped the table, her gaze becoming calm:

"You want to wear him down?"

"What? Is it not allowed?" Freya's smile deepened, her eyes shining even brighter. "I am the goddess of love and beauty, the embodiment of all 'beauty' in the world. Isn't it only natural for me to be delighted by what I see?"

It was a soul color she had never seen before, neither the brilliant gold of the noble nor the murky gray of the fallen, but a chaotic, ever-changing, profound color containing infinite possibilities and purity.

Even as a deity, she could not describe it precisely in words.

She wanted it.

anyway.
