"This is the art room." Clovis spread his arms, showing the collection of paintings from Another World Mall.
"This is…" Christina noticed sothing was different instinctively.
"You can take a look at the paintings for the ti being. I hope it can help you." Clovis smiled. "I will go out and discuss a few things with the rest."
Before Clovis could even take another step, Christina's gaze already turned empty.
'Eh? Isn't this too soon?' Clovis looked shocked, but Christina's body was already swaying. Without hesitation, he caught her and put her down gently. "Phew…"
Clovis looked at Christina for a mont before smiling wryly.
It took her three hours before she ended up returning to herself.
"Ah!" Christina raised her head and noticed she had returned from the world within the painting.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth, realizing what kind of paintings had been collected in this place. There was a painting that managed to help her understand her own ability. If other paintings worked for others, that ant this art room was basically a treasure box.
It was no wonder why Hana had been eyeing Clovis this whole ti. Everything he had was basically a priceless treasure.
Christina gulped down. However, she soon noticed that there was another presence in this room.
She hurriedly turned around and found Clovis sitting in the corner of the room. "Good afternoon. It seems you've got a good harvest."
"You're still here? I thought you were discussing things with the rest of the group."
"Well…" Clovis scratched the back of his head. "I'm just worried about you. Besides, I think it's unfair if you're being left out even though you are in this art room. Let's go to the dining room. The others are preparing the al. Let's discuss our next move there."
Christina couldn't contain her smile. She nodded her helplessly. "Sure."
Both of them imdiately headed to the dining room. Everyone except for Reolf and Jay was already there.
"I'm starving." Clovis stretched his body while taking his seat.
"Everyone is starving." lody nodded, her eyes still glued to the screen.
"Have you visited your brother, lody?"
"Yep. I just returned an hour ago."
"It's just a bit more, eh?" Clovis thought for a mont. "Should we focus on reaching Tier 4?"
"I can actually reach Tier 4 soon. In fact, Ragna is the sa." lody nodded.
"That's good. That ans Kanaria, Jay, and I will have to catch up again. Oh, Reolf needs to catch up too." Clovis smiled. "A few months… I guess we should focus on reaching higher tiers for the ti being. Due to Christina's identity, I bet the people in the shadow won't try to harm us for a while. If they still want to do it, they need a certain level of backing or a good plan. Anyway, we should be fine in the next couple of months. Anyone have a good idea for where to hunt?"
"It's not really a suggestion, but I think I know where to hunt." Erwin raised his hand.
"Where?"
"Slathan."
"Slathan?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion before recalling a certain na. "You an Slathan, the country located south of this country?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Why? I don't think we have a connection there…"
Erwin smiled wryly. "Well, Aileen is going there for a month or two to build up experiences. I'm wondering if it's fine to go there as a backup. Well, not necessarily a backup, but doing a couple of missions together is fine."
Clovis chuckled. Looking at Christina's dumbfounded face, Clovis explained, "Aileen is his girlfriend. A very good assassin who can practically disappear right in front of your eyes. Even her presence can't be found."
"Ah!" Christina nodded in understanding.
"I don't particularly mind. We have ti and don't plan anything big anyway. How about others?"
"Are we going to stay there for a while?" lody asked.
"If possible. But she is scheduled to go there in two months."
"Oh! If it's in two months, there is a lot of ti to prepare. Then, I don't mind." lody felt relieved since she didn't have to leave her brother for so long after she just returned.
"Yep."
"In that case, we can go." Clovis nodded. "I'm kind of wondering about Aileen's level right now. She must be pretty strong after arriving at the capital."
"Yeah." Erwin smiled, replying half-heartedly. He was completely glued to his phone.
"In that case, for the next two months, we'll just have small expeditions to increase our evolution traits. I hope lody and Ragna can reach Tier 4 at this ti.
"After that, we will head to Slathan. Ask her about the destination and other details, Erwin."
"Yes!" Erwin gave a thumbs up.
"Anyway, let's eat. I'm starving. Soone, call Jay and Reolf here. We can't start eating without them." Clovis looked around, wondering who would call them.
To his surprise, there was no need to call them anymore.
"Clovis!" Jay's voice suddenly echoed inside the mansion.
It was so loud, as if Jay shouted at the top of his lungs, which was rare for Jay to do. "You've got a guest."
"A guest?" Clovis frowned. It must not be an ordinary guest. Hence, Clovis signaled lody to help him.
lody dropped her ga and imdiately checked the situation, making sure Jay wasn't threatened.
As a result, Ragna, Christina, and Luci raised their guards, wondering if they should pick up their weapons.
However, the mont they reached outside, they were shocked because the guest was much more extraordinary than anyone could ever think of.
There was an expressionless woman standing next to Reolf, who seed to have submitted to her. She was just standing there, trying to braid Reolf's fur.
Christina couldn't help but drop her jaw to the ground. There was no need to raise her guard because if the other party wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as flipping her hand.
Clovis crossed his arms while smiling helplessly. "I never thought you would visit this humble ho, Mara."
