As a queen who has lost her kingdom, I can see the comments section.

"Didn't we agree that you would call me Miss?"

"I'm sorry, miss, I got too excited."

Looking at Eileen, Amelia felt much more relaxed. Having someone with immense potential to protect her meant that there was still hope for the future.

However, I might need to change my image, since my wanted posters are plastered everywhere, and I'll be recognized if I show up on the street like this.

After searching through the original owner's memories, Amelia said, "Let's look for shops selling cosmetics in the city."

Kerr also had some in the dilapidated carriage that Eileen had found earlier. It was a kind of paper money with a face value of one to one thousand, which was convenient to carry around.

The banknotes used to feature the portrait of the founding emperor of the Clementine Empire, but after the country split into seven kingdoms and ten duchies, the banknotes, though still in use, had to be redesigned. They now feature two rows of flags, with the top row representing the seven kingdoms and the bottom row representing the ten duchies.

I wonder if the designs on the banknotes will continue to change after the Kingdom of Steel becomes a thing of the past.

Chapter 12 The Wind in the Woods

Forest Breeze is a well-known general store in Falcon City, known for its ability to sell almost anything.

While such a statement may be somewhat exaggerated, it is enough to prove that this shop has a considerable reputation.

Eden Newman is the owner of Forest Breeze. Despite his large belly, he likes to dress in a gentleman's suit, even if he doesn't need to attend any balls.

Upon arriving at the Forest Breeze shop, a staff member immediately approached and greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Newman, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Give me the Mind Map of the Bard's Bow; we need to put it away for now," Eden ordered.

The Wind in the Woods wasn't Eden's only shop; he had many more, but his most lucrative identity was that of a slave owner.

He had a large number of slaves under his command, most of whom were obtained through illegitimate means.

This also made him particularly fond of wartime situations, because it would undoubtedly be easier to acquire slaves during such times.

'It's a pity that ordinary slaves have limited value. If only we had elf slaves or mermaid slaves.'

Eden looked at the Mind Map of the Bard's Bow that the shop assistant had brought over with a hint of regret.

The reason I put away this mental image is because an elf has come to Falcon City.

'I wonder what those elves are doing here. Don't they always hate humans? And the allied forces from the three kingdoms were so polite to them. Haven't they received enough disdain from the elves in the past?'

Eden muttered to himself.

However, since those elves had come as envoys of the Elven Royal Court, he could not afford to offend them.

Therefore, the Mind Map used for fishing must be put away, otherwise it would be a loss if these elves found it and bought it.

==========

Amelia and Eileen walked openly down the street.

At this moment, Amelia had changed her appearance. She straightened her originally curly long hair, dyed it the same silver-white color as Eileen's, and tied it into pigtails that fell down.

She even wore colored contact lenses, turning her originally light blue eyes red. Although light blue eyes are quite common, she still cautiously chose to change her eye color.

In addition, she put on makeup and slightly changed her appearance. Unless someone is very familiar with her, they wouldn't recognize her, not to mention that the portrait on the wanted poster doesn't even look that much like her.

As for Eileen, she only needed to wear a little makeup to change her appearance, and there was no need to change anything else. There was no warrant for her arrest.

“Eileen, don’t you think we look like sisters now? You’re a little taller than me, so why don’t I call you older sister?” Amelia said with a relaxed smile.

“No, that would be too offensive to Miss, I can’t do that.” Eileen quickly shook her head.

"Eileen, you're so rigid," Amelia said with a helpless smile.

[Eileen's personality still feels somewhat honest now, not as ruthless as she will be later.]

That's true, but Eileen only became the cold and aloof young lady after going through that incident.

I still prefer the cool and aloof Eileen, but if Eileen heads north, she'll probably run into that incident sooner rather than later.

【Huh? Now that you mention it, it might actually be true.】

[Is nobody paying attention to Amelia? Well, I'll secretly take her away then; white-haired Amelia really gets my heart.]

Chapter 13 Envoys

The comments section was buzzing with activity, and Amelia watched silently, also taking notes of some information.

At this moment, many shouts and the sound of horses' hooves came from ahead, and the people on the street lined up in two rows to make way.

Not wanting to draw too much attention, Amelia and Irene also stood on either side of the crowd.

Then several carriages were driven over in a row, with soldiers from the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces guarding them.

"Is that some important figure traveling? A nobleman from the Three Kingdoms Alliance?"

"I heard that an elf has appeared."

"Elves? That's surprising. Why would they come here?"

"They appear to be envoys from the Elven royal court."

"In short, keep a distance. Elves are all arrogant guys, and it's hard to like them."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Amelia and Irene stayed in the crowd and overheard the conversations around them.

Eileen didn't seem to feel anything, but Amelia's heart stirred.

She glanced at the comments section.

Will the elves come to Falcon City at this time? Was this part of the original storyline?

[Is this year 720 in the Heavenly Calendar? It seems the Elf Forest is experiencing a harsh winter that happens only once every hundred years. When Eileen travels to the Elf Forest in the future, an elf mentions this.]

Now that you mention it, I remember that the Elf Forest was short of resources, so starting this year, they began long-term trade with humans. This was indeed something that should have happened in the original storyline.

[I can barely remember the original plot; when I saw the elves, I thought they were searching for Amelia.]

[I should remind you that the destruction of the Kingdom of Steel was orchestrated privately by a high-ranking elf, without being made public. Ordinary elves are unaware of this.]

As she watched the lines of comments scroll by, Amelia began to ponder.

The appearance of these spirits seemed to have nothing to do with him.

To be honest, she was a little nervous when she saw the elf appear, but since the comments said there was no problem, then there should be no problem.

"let's go."

As the elf party walked away, Amelia whispered something and then left with Eileen.

Disguised, they didn't stand out in the crowd. In this other world, you could see all kinds of hair and eye colors, and silver hair was quite common.

Soon after, the two approached the Forest Breeze shop.

This is a bustling commercial street. The alchemically created streetlights cast a soft glow, dispelling the darkness and allowing passersby to walk with peace of mind.

In addition, light shines from the shops on both sides, allowing people to see inside the shops from a distance.

"No?"

Amelia glanced at the Forest Breeze shop window from afar, but didn't see her target, so she checked the comments section.

As mentioned in the comments, the slave owner Eden placed the Bard's Bow image in a very conspicuous display window to make fishing easier. It should be visible to anyone passing by, and you shouldn't have to look for it to find it.

[Huh? Where's the Bard's Bow Image? Hasn't it been displayed yet?]

[That's definitely not the case. Amelia said she'd seen that mental image before.]

[Shouldn't it be put away? Logically speaking, with elves appearing in this city, the slave owner naturally wouldn't dare to fish anymore; otherwise, what if he caught an envoy from the elven royal court?]

That makes sense.

So it was a wasted trip?

[I think so? Too bad, I thought Amelia had a chance to become an Apostle.]

Chapter 14 The Drunkard

Looking at the comments on the screen, Amelia frowned slightly, not expecting that the arrival of the elven envoy would have such an impact on her affairs.

Does this mean we have no choice but to give up?

However, if one cannot obtain the Mind Map of the Bard's Bow here to become an Apostle, it will take much longer to find the next Mind Map.

Moreover, the comments section noted that Eden's depiction of the Bard's Bow was highly realistic.

Thinking of this, Amelia whispered to Eileen, "Eileen, the Mind Map of the Bard's Bow should have been put away. Let's find out what's going on."

Eileen nodded.

The two immediately turned and left the street.

As she left, Amelia also looked at the comments, hoping they could offer her some advice.

Numerous comments flashed past her eyes, and soon Amelia caught sight of an important one.

[When that slave owner brought the goods back from the slave shop, he probably stored them in the warehouse of his manor, right? That seems to be quite close to where the slaves were held.]

Amelia seemed thoughtful upon seeing this comment.

She pulled Eileen along and quickly walked around Falcon City, carefully inquiring about Eden's whereabouts.

Before long, they arrived at the outside of a huge mansion. The mansion had a very high wall, and inside there were many trees taller than the wall as decorations. Fallen leaves were scattered on the ground outside the wall.

The location of the mansion has been found, but where is the warehouse?

If the exact location of the warehouse is unknown, breaking into the mansion directly could easily lead to being discovered before the target is found, which would be problematic.

Eden itself is not scary; what's scary is the three-nation coalition forces in the city. If she causes too much of a commotion and attracts the three-nation coalition forces, it will be troublesome for Amelia.

So what should we do?

While they were pondering, Amelia pulled Eileen away temporarily, no longer staring at the mansion, but turning into a nearby alley.

"Eileen... um?"

As Amelia entered the alley, intending to say something, a person approached her, bringing with him a strong smell of alcohol.

Amelia froze upon seeing this person.
