In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　"Ouch!"

　The dozen or so thunder wolves summoned by Roy completed their mission, howled to the sky, and vanished.

　The three Level 2 remnants of the Rudra clan, along with all the bandits in the stronghold, were all killed. Under the glow of the setting sun, their corpses piled up like a mountain. There was no fear on their faces, only satisfaction.

　Roy looked at the liberated people and smiled, "It's over!"

　"Oh oh oh oh oh oh"

　After a brief moment of deathly silence, the crowd erupted in a deafening cheer, shaking the heavens and the earth, as everyone excitedly embraced their loved ones. It took a long time for the cheers to subside.

　A series of gurgling sounds broke the silence, with sounds coming from the abdomen rising and falling continuously, causing many people to lower their faces in embarrassment.

　Roy didn't think anything of it. Survival is the most important instinct for living beings, without exception. He called out to everyone and entered the bandits' warehouse. Piles of supplies were being carried out of the cave, which were the special products looted from the caravan.

　Having been hungry for several days, everyone disregarded everything else and feasted heartily, warmly entertaining everyone.

　Roy was undoubtedly the star of the party.

　The battle to defeat Hyacinthus was broadcast live through the Divine Mirror, making him a household name in Orario. His fame spread like wildfire throughout the world. It was as if everyone knew him.

　When Shakti and his Ganesha's clan arrived, following the marks left by Roy, after traversing the deep forests, they were utterly dumbfounded. They expected a fierce battle, but instead found themselves at a lively bonfire party.

　Under a dazzling starry night sky, around a rising campfire, the survivors, regardless of race or age, toasted each other. If it weren't for the piles of corpses and the lingering, thick stench of blood in the air, Shakti would have thought he'd come to the wrong place. The members of the Ganesha Familia began their work, confirming everyone's identities and distributing supplies.

　The rescued people, under prolonged high pressure and extreme mental stress, followed by overeating, were completely relieved upon seeing the Ganesha's family members, and a strong sense of drowsiness washed over them.

　Everyone collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

　Shakti approached Roy and said, "Sprout of Justice, thank you. We've been chasing this group for almost half a month, but haven't found them yet." The brutal ritual of human sacrifice naturally necessitates rampant looting, and the disappearance of numerous caravans had long attracted the attention of the Ganesha Familia. Unfortunately, their main base was too well hidden, and the Ganesha Familia hadn't discovered it for a long time.

　The bandits fled faster than foxes at the sight of the Ganesha clan members, only targeting small caravans, only to run into Roy, a tough nut to crack. Roy chuckled and said, "Commander Shakti, no need to be so polite, we're all family."

　Shakti's eyes were strange. She still remembered that duel. She tried to stop Roy, but he gave her a fierce look, as if he wanted to devour her as well. He was usually a kind and easy-going person who made money, which was really unpredictable.

　After finishing their business, they moved on to personal matters. Shakti lowered his voice, "How did you get out of here? We don't have any record of you leaving the city." Roy chuckled, "As expected, he's here."

　Adventurers belonging to Orario find it difficult to leave. Orario is called the "center of the world" because it has the most advanced combat power, resources, industry, and everything else in the Nether.

　This also means that it will attract countless demons and monsters.

　The guild must do everything in its power to protect the city.

　Advanced adventurers who wish to leave the city must undergo strict review and complicated procedures by the guild.

　Orario is very sensitive to the issue of its combat power leaving the city. High-level adventurers trained in the dungeons are far stronger than those outside. If they leave the city and become enemies of Orario, the consequences will be dire.

　Therefore, high-level adventurers are not allowed to leave!

　It is an unwritten rule in Orario, and also a consensus among everyone in this city.

　Roy secretly leaves Orario.

　This matter isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either. If the guild finds out, a fine of several million Fali is certain, and the higher the guild's rank, the harsher the penalty. Steamed Bun, you disagree?

　Then don't bother playing in Orario!

　Shakti looked helpless, but he couldn't just ignore it. "I'll help you fill in a record later."

　Roy laughed. Sure enough, having connections in the court makes things easier. Lord Shakti has connections everywhere!

　“But you also need to help, as a guard, to protect these people on their way back.” Shak prompted Roy to look at the people who had been freed. Roy agreed, “No problem!”

　The winding mountain road was difficult to traverse, especially at night. The group rested in the mountain stronghold for the night before setting off again in the early hours of the next morning. Roy joined the group as a guard.

　"Mr. Roy, thank you!"

　Two young and beautiful girls ran up to Roy. They were Eina and Misha, their faces filled with gratitude. At the party the night before, Roy was the center of attention, and the two of them had no chance to get close to him.

　Now that he finally had the chance, he immediately ran over to thank his savior.

　It's over a hundred kilometers from here to Orario. Since he's going to walk anyway, and with nothing else to do, Roy started chatting with two innocent young women who had just graduated. They talked about everything from tanks to airplanes.

　Roy pulled out some cheesy pickup lines he'd read in his past life, making the two girls laugh involuntarily.

　For anyone else, this would be called frivolous. But for the powerful and handsome Roy, it's called humor, plus the added filter of being his savior. Laughter occasionally rippled through the group.

　The two girls also felt it was inappropriate, so they suppressed their emotions and laughed until their shoulders were shaking. They couldn't help but give Roy a reproachful look, but there was no blame in their eyes. Instead, it felt like they were flirting.

　The psychological trauma they suffered from being imprisoned for two days was also somewhat relieved at this moment.

　Eina glanced shyly at Roy with her emerald green eyes, recalling that brief moment of eye contact yesterday, and the smile the boy had given her. At that moment, Eina seemed to understand; he was comforting her, telling her not to be afraid.

　A blush appeared on her pretty face, quickly spreading to her ears, and her heart began to beat faster.

　Misha noticed Eina's unusual expression and exclaimed in surprise, "Eina, why is your face so red and hot? Could you have caught a cold?" Roy had just been called away by Shakti.

　Misha was worried about Eina's condition and looked anxious. She was about to call out, "Mr. Roy..."

　"I'm fine, I'm okay, don't talk nonsense!" Eina quickly covered her friend's mouth.

　"It's not a cold, yet her face is so red, could it be...?" Misha couldn't make a sound, only muttering softly, her eyes blazing with a fierce fire of gossip. Eina gritted her teeth in anger; if only this idiot used that quick wit on exams!

　The time spent flirting with girls is always easy and short-lived, and the group quickly left the deep mountains and forests.

　Once back on the main road, the Ganesha's clan had prepared the carriages, and their speed immediately increased.

　As evening approached, the gates of Orario came into view, and the liberated people were moved to tears.

　As the rulers of Orario, the guild also possessed a degree of humanitarianism, sending many staff members to care for the victims and arrange accommodation and food. After all, if they didn't address the issue on their own territory, it would certainly dampen the confidence of newcomers to do business in Orario, thereby impacting the economy.

　Royman is known as the "Guild Pig," referring to his extravagant lifestyle and lavish spending, but also to his excellent leadership abilities.

　The saying that a person's character and ability should be separated is most apt when applied to Reuman.

　Goodbye, Mr. Roy.

　Eina and Misha were also greeted by guild staff and parted ways with Roy. It was believed that the guild would soon welcome two new mascot girls. Roy withdrew his gaze and spoke with the fat man, thanking him for informing the Ganesha Familia.

　"No, no, it's nothing for us, you've gone to so much trouble." The fat man looked at Roy with respect in his eyes, and the others had the same expression. This was according to the Ganesha Familia's statistics.

　Roy killed three LV.2s, seven LV.1s, and one hundred and sixty-seven bandits.

　They felt honored to participate in this operation. By all accounts, it was a joint effort between him and Roy, resulting in a rampage and a kill count of over a hundred!

　Roy accompanied the middle-aged, youthful-hearted fat man to the tavern, downing several drinks before leaving with his reward of 20,000 falies. Crossing the street, Roy returned to the Star Garden.

　After wandering around for a while, this familiar building actually made him feel a little nostalgic.

　Roy pushed open the door. It was quite quiet, but his LV.2 top-level ability had made his perception much better than before. He heard a faint breathing sound ten meters to his left. He turned his head and saw what he expected.

　"You are finally willing to come back."

　A blonde, pointed-eared elf girl stood by the window, her clear sky-blue eyes meeting Roy's. A hint of helplessness flashed across her beautiful face. Roy chuckled. He could understand her reaction; adventurers were a high-risk profession. Unless they went on a dungeon expedition, if there was no news within three days, they were practically dead.

　Someone like Roy, who wandered outside for more than twenty days without a trace, probably didn't even have his ashes left.

　"Where are the goddess and the two newcomers?" Roy changed the subject, his gaze sweeping across the quiet living room.

　"They went out to purchase supplies."

　The elven girl replied that the base camp must be guarded, otherwise thieves could easily break in.

　Roy's eyes darted around. Did that mean that only he and Ryu were left in the mansion at this moment?

　Of course, Roy wasn't thinking anything evil; he wanted to learn magic! Learning made him happy!

　"Feel sorry."

　At this moment, Liu sighed softly, a hint of guilt showing on her small face.

　Roy asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Did you do something to offend me?"

　Ryu found Roy's words increasingly strange, glaring at him fiercely, ruining the otherwise pleasant atmosphere and leaving everyone both amused and exasperated. "I broke the contract."

　Ryu pursed her thin lips. "I've been busy with the clan's affairs lately and haven't been able to help you hunt monsters."

　Her original contract with Roy was that she would help hunt monsters, and Roy would help her obtain the secret technique of resurrection.

　Now that Roy has joined Astrea's Familia, he has helped her destroy the Dark Faction and repay the Familia's debts. The two new recruits also joined because of Roy, which means they are indirectly helping to revive the Familia.

　The two sides are now intertwined, like ink and water mixed together.

　And looking at it this way, it seems like she didn't do anything; it was all Roy's effort...

　Liu silently lowered her head, looking ashamed, wishing she could disappear into a hole.

　Roy looked at the usually strong elf girl who was about to cry and was speechless. "Is it really such a small thing? If you feel guilty, do me a small favor now."

　"Say!"

　Liu's expression was serious; she probably wouldn't hesitate to go and kill someone if Roy asked her to.

　Roy said, "Teach me your magic."

　Upon hearing this, Liu looked at Roy with a hint of pity. Had he lost his mind after going out for a while?

　Innate magic relies on bloodline, while acquired magic relies on one's own awakening. She had never heard of anyone being able to learn magic on their own. Perhaps she should take Roy to see "Battlefield Saintess" Amid Teysanare.

　This symptom can't be ignored any longer!

　Seeing the look on Liu's face as if she were an idiot, Roy said irritably, "Hurry up, play it once so I can see it."

　Urged on by Roy, Ryu, who had just agreed, couldn't refuse and began to chant.

　But it wasn't the "Wind of Light," it was "Noah's Healing," so we couldn't just blow up the mansion.

　"Song of the distant forest, melody of life from the past. Bestow healing mercy upon those who seek your help, Noah heals!" As the chanting ended, a gentle, vibrant green light emanated from Ryu's small hands.

　Roy blinked, not understanding. Could his "elven royal authority" be fake?

　"Give me your other hand, and let's do it again." Roy held out his palm to Liu.

　Liu's expression froze. An elf's skin could only be touched by someone she trusted. So far, the only person she trusted was her best friend, Alexei Rofer. Liu looked up and met Roy's gaze.

　After a long while, Liu found no trace of evil in the other person's eyes and could only sigh.

　"It seems you're not joking." Ryu extended her left hand, and when Roy grasped it, the heat of his hand caused her body to tremble slightly.

　A blush crept onto her stunningly beautiful face, her expression shy and adorable. Liu gently bit her lip, suppressing the shyness in her heart. "…Noah Heal!"

　Liu took a deep breath to calm herself down, otherwise it would affect the success rate of the magic. She slowly repeated the incantation she had just chanted, and her other small hand once again emitted a bright green light.

　This time, Roy felt it; his eyes seemed to penetrate Miss Liu's delicate, snow-white skin, and within her petite and exquisite body, his spiritual power mobilized magical elements, transforming them into the light of life.

　"call!"

　Roy closed his eyes, reviewing the events in his mind. After a dozen seconds, he slowly opened his eyes, a powerful confidence shining deep within them. "At this moment, the song of the distant forest, the melody of life from the past. May healing mercy descend upon those who seek your help."

　"Noah heals!"

　As Roy's last cry faded, a vibrant green light also emanated from his large palm.

　The magic "Noah's Healing" has been successfully learned!

　"???" Several question marks seemed to pop up on Liu's little head. Are you serious?

　Noah's Healing, a single-target recovery spell, has excellent healing effects, but it takes effect relatively slowly. Its effectiveness is enhanced when used in forest areas. Roy's face showed a hint of excitement. In this world, each person can possess a maximum of three spells, but the Elven King's authority allows him to disregard this limitation. There is no upper limit to the number of spells one can learn.

　Roy held Liu's soft, boneless little hand, which was icy cold, like the finest jade in the world. He had been so focused on learning magic that he hadn't had time to appreciate it.

　Sensing Roy's deliberate mischief, Liu blushed and silently withdrew her hand.

　Roy felt a pang of regret.

　Ryu looked at Roy, "What's going on?"

　Roy knew what the other person wanted to ask and replied, "Actually, it's a newly awakened skill of mine. It allows me to learn the magic of my friends... um, that's it." Roy dared not tell the other person the truth about "Elven Kingship." If this skill were exposed, elves from all over the world would come and question him about why he had such a skill. If he answered incorrectly, he would be torn to pieces on the spot!

　The former, learning elven magic, is fine; if they wholeheartedly admire elven magic and have enough faith, they might awaken such a miraculous skill. The latter, however, forcibly suppressing the elven's body and soul, is rather terrifying.

　The elves would never allow a human to possess such a skill; they would definitely join forces to kill him.

　The facts are undeniable, leaving Liu no choice but to believe them.

　Liu sighed, looking at Roy with surprise, shock, and finally a complex expression.

　She already thought the other person's two skills were outrageous enough, but now they had a skill that allowed them to learn other people's magic without any limit. It was as if the miracle was created because of the other person.
