Chapter 397 Gatekeeper Agent

Five minutes later.

Xie Bai carried Ivy in one hand and Hiti in the other, taking them away from the void.

She encountered no resistance during the process, as if she were picking up two kittens.

Once outside, Xie Bai checked them to see if they were hiding anything.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did she put the two of them down.

"Alright, we can discuss the matter later. Let's get down to business now."

"Recently, a group of people with nothing to do have gone to the Southern Continent to act as branch agents of the Hall of Heroes. They are still short one person. Hiti, you can go there."

"As for Ivy..."

She glanced at the other person.

"Aside from your days off, you should stay in the Aodu Empire for now."

Upon hearing this, Ivy, who had been feeling uneasy, finally gave up completely.

"Uh..."

"Can't you really find someone else to cover my shift?"

Ivy had just uttered a complaint when Xie Bai suddenly added something.

"As for your days off, you can do whatever you want. You can even come to Valhalla for sightseeing if you want, like now. But be careful not to expose yourself."

Upon hearing that she suddenly had a period of free time, Ivy jerked her head up.

"Hmm? Does this mean I have a vacation?"

Xie Bai nodded.

After receiving affirmation, Ivy suddenly felt like she was something special.

Holiday, what a niche word.

As far as she knew, it seemed that none of the important figures working under Xie Bai had any concept of holidays.

They are basically on the job from the moment they start, working year-round without a break, and only have time to experience life after get off work each day.

But this is still considered good.

Due to the nature of some jobs, precise working hours do not exist.

To put it nicely, it's flexible working hours; to put it bluntly, it means being on call at all times.

For example, Artorias, who was recently transferred from the Odu Empire to Valhalla.

However, given that Xie Bai has been paying close attention to that area recently and often goes there, it's hard to say whether this is a tough job.

"Tsk..."

Just thinking about her made Ivy's back molars ache.

The first thing that guy did after becoming stronger was to put a knife to her neck and force her to fulfill her previous promise to make her official debut at the opera house.

That's fine.

The original plan was for me to come and help her share the burden, but in reality, she slipped away to the Southern Continent, leaving me alone to shoulder all the pressure.

Unfortunately, Hilary hadn't woken up yet, so even if he shamelessly begged her for help, she wouldn't do it.

However, it seems that the situation isn't too bad now.

Having two days a week to arrange as you please already puts you ahead of most people.

Two days is plenty of time to do a lot of things.

For example, shamelessly clinging to Xie Bai all day long...

Just as Ivy's thoughts were drifting away, a clap of applause suddenly pulled her back.

"Alright, I've covered everything you need to know. If you have no questions, please follow me."

After saying this, Xie Bai tore open a spatial rift, signaling the two to follow.

"Um?"

Ivy was completely bewildered.

What should I be careful about? What did we just say? How come she didn't hear me?

Before she could even process what was happening, she saw Hilary catch up with Xie Bai and wave to her with a smile before leaving.

"Wait a minute, I haven't caught up yet!"

Ivy finally realized what was happening and quickly followed.

As soon as they passed through the spatial rift, the originally sunny and pleasant scene gradually faded away, transforming into a magnificent and resplendent hall.

"Hmm...?!"

Ivy was instantly stunned by the scene and instinctively took a small step back.

The space she was in at that moment was an exceptionally grand and magnificent hall, with the ceiling and walls almost invisible.

The overall layout is relatively simple for its size, with only a central reception area and four main avenues connecting the various entrances, and the main color scheme is a simple white and gold combination.

"Is this... Valhalla?"

Ivy looked up at the four large doors that she had to crane her neck to see even a glimpse of their tops.

"To be precise, this can only be considered the outer hall of Valhalla, since the real Valhalla has not yet materialized into its true form."

Hiti answered from the side, while turning her head to look at Ivy.

"You're asking these questions? Didn't you hear what your older sister said just now?"

Hiti's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if she were scrutinizing Xie Bai for an unqualified follower.

But soon, her eyes returned to normal, and she smiled at Ivy.

"But it's okay, I'm here for you, aren't I?"

"I've already promised to protect you, so you don't need to worry about this little thing."

As she spoke, Hilary suddenly leaned closer and whispered to Ivy.

"But who knows about next time~"

After saying that, she stepped back and resumed her previous smiling expression.

"If Valhalla wants to successfully solidify its true form, it first needs to use people's faith to shape its true name, thereby regaining the world's recognition. This is the most fundamental step and cannot be omitted."

"To complete the collection of faith, relying solely on heroic spirits is not enough; that's when we need some gatekeeper agents to do these things."

As she spoke, Hilary pointed to herself and introduced herself to Ivy.

"And I am the newly appointed gatekeeper by my elder sister. The gatekeeper is called the Witch Guild, which is the resting place for us witch heroes."

"Look, that main gate leading down that avenue is the outer gate of the Witch's Guild. Doesn't it look different from the other gates?"

Hiti pointed to a gate, her face beaming with excitement.

Ivy felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at Hildi, whose demeanor had suddenly changed. But when she heard the words "witch," she paused and immediately looked in the direction Hildi was pointing.

"The Witch's Guild? Wait, isn't that the name I originally envisioned?"

If she remembered correctly, when her older sister wanted to name their organization, she had suggested this name, but it was ultimately rejected because it was too simple and straightforward.

Hearing her question, Hiti turned around and explained.

"That's right, that's the name."

"I remember when we first arrived at Valhalla, it was Florie who stepped in to isolate our area and create a separate gatehouse for us."

"Therefore, the naming rights for the new gatehouse fell into Floriere's hands. Anyway, none of us can beat her, so we had no choice but to call it this name."

"By the way, Florie is still the gatekeeper of the Witch's Guild and has all the gate authority. However, compared to others, it is much more difficult for her to be summoned to the mortal world."

"Hmm... thankfully it's only difficult. I heard that other gatekeepers aren't even allowed to summon."

As Ivy listened to Hilary's story, her eyes lowered slightly.

"Is that so...?"

She took a deep breath and then nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.

"Hmm? Where are you going? Aren't you going to keep looking around?"

Hilary asked in confusion, but she didn't receive a reply until Ivy left.

"Fine, let her go if she wants. That older sister... um? Older sister?"

She looked around and realized that Xie Bai had also left the place at some point.

When she turned around again, she saw a blonde little girl holding a heavy sword standing in front of her and asked in surprise.

"Hmm? You're the fourth agent?"
