On the day he had the idea, Lucen wanted to et the principal imdiately, but unfortunately, even soone of Lucen’s stature couldn’t just et the Principal; he actually needed to make an appointnt.
It would seem that Principal Aldren Nikon was quite busy, seeing as a month from now will be the start of the new sester.
He was told that he could et the Principal in three days. ’Three days, huh... What should I do in the anti?’
Lucen tapped his finger lightly against his arm as he jumped from building to building above the busy streets of Caelhart.
He had already made up his mind the mont the idea ca to him. The sooner he could speak with Principal Aldren Nikon, the better.
Unfortunately, even the Royal Academy had its rules. Lucen clicked his tongue softly.
"This is why ti skips and fast travel in gas are so good: you can skip the waiting ti. Well, I guess there is a loading ti, but it’s still faster." He muttered to himself.
Lucen let out a small sigh as he landed on the edge of another rooftop, the long tails of his trench coat swaying slightly from the movent.
Three days, it was not long enough to start anything serious, yet not short enough to simply ignore. He crossed his arms as he thought for a mont.
"Should I go back to Stellhart? With the train, it takes a few hours at most to reach, but once I get there, Robert might pull into sothing, and I might not be able to get back on ti."
Lucen sighed as he looked up at the clouds.
"Should I just wait here in the Capital until the appointed ti? Nah, that’s boring, the plays here are pretty much what I wrote and their own repeat. I could also visit Mireya and play a few board gas with her, but... Yeah, the sa with Robert, she might not let go in those three days."
Lucen scratched his head in frustration.
"I knew that I should have focused on creating so sort of video gas using the power of the Purple Tower Mages. This world already has sothing like the communication orb, which is basically similar to a video call, and they also have an orb that can even record a few images like a video, so it might be possible... I guess it would be easier to introduce these people to the concept of TV shows and movies, rather than video gas... Hm, I guess that’s sothing to think about for later."
Lucen lowered his hand and sat down at the edge of the roof while staring at the sky for a few seconds before letting out another sigh. Waiting for three days might seem short, but for soone like Lucen, it was truly long. Especially now that he had things he wanted to do.
’Still, I do kinda look cool doing this with the wind helping my trench coat flutter.’ Lucen couldn’t help but comnt on himself.
Lucen let out a quiet chuckle before his expression slowly returned to normal.
"... Man, I’m really bored."
He leaned back slightly, supporting himself with one hand as he continued staring at the sky. He saw a few airships passing by and smiled. This world was starting to look like the one he envisioned.
For a mont, his thoughts wandered aimlessly, jumping from one idea to another without settling on anything in particular. Then, without realizing it, his mind went back to Alexander.
’Heh, to think that I would be able to see the formation of the starting party with my own eyes... Now that I think about it, since I have seen Alexander and the starting party, maybe I should visit the starting Village, Valerius Village.’
Lucen showed a bright smile at the thought he had. He slowly got up and brushed off the dust on his pants. He looked at the horizon and was once again getting excited.
"Yeah, I forgot about the starting village. The reason I haven’t gone already was that I didn’t want to ss up Alexander’s growth before the story begins, but now that the flow of the story has begun, I guess I can finally visit."
Lucen nodded to himself as the idea settled in his mind.
In reality, Valerius Village was nothing special at first glance. Just a small, peaceful settlent at the edge of the kingdom, far from the capital and even farther from any sort of trouble.
But of course, Lucen understood that this little place was very important. It was the place where Alexander had grown up. The place where he first learned how to wield a sword. The place where the wandering rcenary appeared.
Many players speculated that the so-called wandering rcenary wasn’t just so random person, but a supre expert; he might be the long-lost legendary rcenary King.
Of course, there were also those who think the wandering rcenary was nothing more than a mid-tier rcenary who taught Alexander and Mina a few things. The reason why Alexander beca so strong was that he was strong from the start.
Lucen was one who believed the latter to be true. "Alright, now that I’ve decided what to do while I wait, should I use my personal airship or the train?... I’d better use the train, since using the airship would just attract too much attention."
Lucen jumped down from the rooftop and landed in an empty alleyway. He then quickly headed to the train station.
The station was just as busy as ever, with people coming and going as the newly built rail lines connected more parts of Norvaegard than ever before.
Lucen walked past the ticket counter without stopping. The workers recognized him imdiately and hurried to prepare a seat without even needing to ask for his destination.
"Heading north, Young lord?" One of them asked respectfully.
"No, I’m not going north. I’m heading east towards a village called Valerius Village."
The worker then looked at the schedule and map and finally learned where Valerius Village was. It was the last stop of one of the trains heading east. He then checked the ti of the departure of the train heading there.
"The departure of a train heading there will be around fifteen minutes. Do you need any refreshnts, young lord?"
"No need, I’ll just wait here." After dismissing the worker, Lucen looked around the train station.
A few people glanced in his direction, but no one approached him. It was not that they did not recognize him.
On the contrary, most of them clearly did. Soone with silver hair, ruby-red eyes, and wearing a trench coat with the Thornefang emblem, there was only Lucen Thornehart.
So lowered their heads slightly in respect, while others quickly looked away as if afraid of drawing his attention.
A few waved their hands in excitent, and there were even those who did a clumsy knight’s salute.
’I guess, I’m really like a celebrity now, huh. Well, it’s not a bad feeling, and they don’t really bother anyway.’
Lucen let out a quiet breath as he leaned against one of the pillars near the platform.
He had already gotten used to the looks people gave him whenever he appeared in the capital.
He was already quite famous beforehand, but after the Styrhord and the ergence of the train and the airships, his na was not only spoken in Norvaegard but in the surrounding kingdoms as well.
It didn’t take long for the train Lucen was waiting for to arrive. He was then guided by a few workers to a special seat made for him and those who had special privileges.
Lucen stepped inside the carriage without saying much, giving a small nod to the workers before taking his seat near the window.
The interior of the special carriage was quiet, far more comfortable than the common seats. The cushions were soft, and the glass windows were reinforced to reduce the shaking of the ride.
He rested his arm on the side and looked outside as the last few passengers boarded.
A loud whistle echoed through the station. Monts later, the train slowly began to move.
The platform started to slide past the window, followed by the crowded streets of Caelhart, and soon the tall buildings of the capital began to grow smaller as the train picked up speed.
’I wonder what Valerius Village looks like now. Obviously, because of the changes I made, it won’t look the sa, but I hope it still has that charm of a starting village. The single shop and blacksmith, the small temple of an unknown deity. Surely those things are still there, right?’
Lucen started to wonder how much Valerious Village had changed.
So far, most of the major events had still followed the sa general flow he rembered, but the details were clearly different. Also, the timing of said events were either accelerated, and a few never even happened.
Still, those were pre-ga events, which were basically background lore, but it was not the start of the ga story.
Of course, he also understood that this route, this tiline, was probably that of the new ga plus he hasn’t played yet.
’Well, that just makes things even more exciting.’
Lucen slowly closed his eyes as the steady rhythm of the train filled the carriage.
The capital was already far behind, and the scenery outside the window had turned into endless plains and distant hills.
He was trying his best to contain the excitent he was feeling after seeing the hero Alexander in the ga he loved.
’I really can’t wait to see how this route plays out.’
