After speculation, the suspected "Dream Weaving Corridor" terminal lost by the Molton family ended up in his own hands.
With this as the premise, the two of them staying under the Duke’s nose might be too dangerous.
In response, Wood simply shook his head.
"It’s fine, we’re only stopping briefly."
"After so ti, when the turmoil in Neum completely ends... the young master and I will consider whether to return or continue traveling."
As he spoke, a hint of a smile appeared on his weary face.
"Rest assured, no one besides our few own people knows the whereabouts of Terry William, and the bodies have been thoroughly handled. Those knights in lted Scale Town are probably still looking for their leader."
"The Wakefield family... has so arrangents in Nianshu Territory; living there temporarily is much safer than you going on a mission."
Since the other party said so, Xia Nan asked no more, simply gazing at the half-elf and wanderer guard before him.
"You know my address."
"If you need any help in the future, you can send a letter or have soone deliver a ssage."
Upon hearing this, Hai’an rely revealed a helpless smile.
"Speaking of which, this mission shouldn’t have encountered so many twists. The Red Dragon, including Lawson and Terry William, were unexpected situations."
"If it weren’t for you... I probably wouldn’t have the chance to sit here and say these things to you."
Of course, Xia Nan understood the aning in the half-elf’s words.
Simply because of the unexpected encounters during the mission, expressing apologies and gratitude to the team mbers, including himself.
He didn’t mind, just waved his hand.
Long accustod to such seemingly simple and ordinary, yet secretly intricate and endlessly tumultuous experiences.
"Then shall we... et again in the future?"
"Yes, take care."
...
...
Vergrove, similar in geographical location to lted Scale Town, both are close to the lted Scale Mountain Range.
But the difference is, this little town is located outside the Red Dragon’s territory, and does not have the unique terrain convenient for developnt like lted Scale Town.
Nearby similar villages and towns are many, diverting a large number of adventurers and rchant caravans wanting to traverse the mountains.
Thus, its developnt is quite ordinary, rely a common town found anywhere in the Sevia Kingdom, with nothing worth ntioning.
Xia Nan walks down the street.
The town’s only blacksmith shop, the blacksmith’s craftsmanship is ordinary, unable to find suitable transitional equipnt.
The plate chain composite armor, damaged almost to destruction by Terry William’s venom corrosion, was re-donned on him, anything is better than nothing.
Ignoring the curious gaze from surrounding pedestrians toward an adventurer, a foreigner.
He falls into deep thought.
Lawson’s fine sword "Curry Bee Needle" is okay, although the exterior is special, it’s not unique, there are plenty similar weapons on the market, should be easy to handle.
The loot from Terry William, the heavy sword nad "Molton Loyalty Oath", is much more troubleso.
The proverbs engraved on the sword’s surface are easily recognizable as originating from the Molton family upon careful inspection.
Coupled with the gradual ferntation of Terry William’s disappearance, the knight captain of the Molton family.
If such a heavy sword appears on the market, anyone randomly pulled from the street can guess the connection between the two.
From the perspective of his own safety and the Dream Weaving Corridor in his hand, Xia Nan does not want to unnecessarily attract trouble from the Molton family.
Thus, this heavy sword becos a hot potato.
At this mont it is wrapped thickly in burlap and placed in the inn room.
Xia Nan even considered, if worse cos to worst, simply find a secret place to dispose of it, or have a trustworthy blacksmith disassemble and lt it into steel.
For the sake of safety, losing one or two hundred gold coins is no big deal.
Additionally, speaking of equipnt.
Currently, the "Tear of Spring Breath" made into a necklace hangs quietly under the western lining of the armor. Only the tal necklace around the neck is visible from the outside, unable to glimpse the most important drop-shaped green pendant beneath it.
Capable of being used once a week, the "Spring Vein Purification" four ring healing technique was already used to heal injuries during his level up.
The description of skill effects on equipnt is to "restore a certain amount of health to the carrier".
A few days ago, while taking the heavily injured half-elf across the mountains, he considered, if necessary in the future, could he find a loophole.
For instance, temporarily letting soone who needs healing wear the necklace, thus they beco the "carrier" to so extent, obtaining the condition to use "Spring Vein Purification".
But if truly doing this, one aspect is that the user must be trusted enough, after all, the "Tear of Spring Breath" necklace is one of his trump cards, using it in this way would completely expose it to others, also guarding against them coveting the equipnt effects and running off with it.
On the other hand, Xia Nan can’t confirm if such seemingly ridiculous thods can actually change the ownership of the equipnt, turning the "carrier" from himself to another.
He will have to find opportunities for further testing in the future.
The escort mission concluded successfully, though Hai’an and Wood were injured, they reached the Nianshu Territory.
But for Xia Nan himself, suddenly the things needing to be done increased.
The most important, of course, is the "Dream Weaving Corridor" Neural Travel Terminal, now transford into a silver ring worn on his finger.
Previously, he had only a half understanding of its functions, but his experiences in the past few days allowed Xia Nan to truly know the amazing effects of this sci-fi creation.
From lv4 to lv5, the remaining nearly fifty points of skill level in "Teeth Hunting" would take months with daily training.
Under the effect of the dream woven by the "Dream Weaving Corridor", it took less than half a second to cross it in an instant.
No wonder the Molton family’s ancestors could climb from civilian status to such a high position later on.
Such equipnt that can enhance battle skill proficiency is not an exaggeration to call it a "divine artifact".
Xia Nan dares not imagine, if soday he gets the chance to take "Gravity Control" as the prototype for dream weaving...
Not to ntion how many levels it can rise at once, even if just from lv1 to lv2, the improvent brought by this quality battle skill is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.
Of course, before that, he must satisfy the two conditions to activate the "Dream Weaving Corridor".
The first, a dynamic password.
A week ago, the reason he could activate the device was by tossing the "Destiny Coin", using the power of the Goddess of fate to raise the nearly impossible probability to 100%, successfully inputting the password by blind luck.
Currently, the "Destiny Coin" has only one last usage remaining, as the most crucial trump card on Xia Nan, capable of reversing situations, he surely hopes to retain it for monts critical to his survival and life.
Thus, he must find the "key", lost as per the "Dream Weaving Corridor" warning notice.
But he knows nothing about the key’s appearance or where to find it.
Could he infiltrate the Molton family to search for possible clues?
That would be too dangerous.
The second, energy.
After the "Teeth Hunting" dream ended, Xia Nan again checked the attribute panel of the "Dream Weaving Corridor".
Unsurprisingly, the energy that originally had "3%" remaining is now completely zero.
How to recharge it?
Plug? Battery?
He even thought about whether to find a spellcaster skilled in elental magic and have lightning struck onto the ring.
But later considering this seed too crude, what if it breaks the device.
Thus, it remains temporarily shelved.
And beyond that, anyhow he must first return to River Valley Town.
With so much ti passed, after spending a full 1000 gold coins, the commission to "Rock Hamr" Barn to forge the Snake Scale Arm Shield should be completed.
He has anticipated for a long ti, now that the mission is finished, naturally he wants to retrieve and savor it.
Various matters needing to be handled piled up together, for a mont making Xia Nan sowhat overwheld.
Suddenly realizing he has arrived at the agreed location.
His steps pause, gaze looking forward.
Under the shade of a tree, the chestnut ponytail sways lightly behind.
The slender figure in a cream-white robe seems to sense the gaze from behind, and the whole person shudders abruptly.
