The carriage continued to move towards the east. Although the speed was slow, the territory of the Western Continent itself was not very large.

As the sun rose and set, before today came to an end, we successfully arrived in Blue Lake City again.

Looking at the lake and the city walls, at this moment I had no thoughts or feelings. All I wanted was to find a place to get a good sleep. Even though I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep, at least I could rest for a while.

After all, my stamina bar was almost empty at this point. If even a small fry came to fight me, I would probably faint from exhaustion.

"We will rest here tonight and continue our journey in the morning," the Duke spoke to the soldiers in his aristocratic tone and then entered the designated noble hotel. It was different from the hotel we saw in Blue Lake City before. It was located next to the Lord's castle. Although I passed by it earlier, I didn't pay attention and thought it was part of the castle.

Because the appearance of this hotel was very similar to the castle, it was easy to mistake them.

"Teacher, what are you thinking about?"

I only noticed the two Marshall young men from the Ma family staring at me with curious expressions when I heard their voices.

"Nothing, just enjoying the night view."

That was a lie. I wasn't the type of person who enjoyed the night view.

Actually, I was taking advantage of the elevated position here to overlook the entire city and find the whereabouts of Oyado and the others.

Of course, my main focus was on the hotel near the Mercenary Guild. Soon enough, I confirmed their location.

And it seemed like they had started to move based on their titles. I smiled and said to the two of them, "Let's go, get some rest as soon as possible."

Naturally, that was just me saying it. Otherwise, if Oyado and the others arrived and we weren't prepared with an excuse, it would be troublesome.

Sure enough, just two minutes after we entered the room, we heard the sound of the window opening. Oyado, Pure White, Bai Yueguang, and Hei Luoli flipped in through the window.

"Yo, good evening~"

"What good evening! You guys suddenly ran off without even saying hello, and you've been missing for so long. What kind of joke is this!" Bai Yueguang angrily exclaimed, while on the other side, Oyado grabbed Aliyah.

"Tell me, what did you do to my brother during all this time you kidnapped him!"

"Huh? Why don't you ask your brother? Why are you asking me?"

"Who knows if you did something strange to my brother?"

"My goodness, if anything, it's more likely that he did something strange to me. What strange thing could I have done to him?"

"Alright, can you two stop arguing as soon as you see each other? I'm so tired, if you don't let me rest, I might just shut down."

After speaking, I lay straight on the bed and fell asleep.

After lying down for two seconds, I suddenly jumped up and said, "Also, think of a good identity for yourselves later so I don't have to randomly make one up for you tomorrow. You can ask Fran for details."

After speaking, I lay down again and took half a dose of sleeping potion. Shouldn't have any problems like this, right?

----------------Reading----------------

Early in the morning, while most people were still asleep, I gently moved Eliya and Oyado's sleeping hands away from me, and quietly left the hotel through the front door.

Even the guards at the entrance were very curious about why someone would wake up so early in the morning.

"The market hasn't opened yet, what are you doing..."

"Just going to meet a friend and then I'll have to hurry on the road."

I explained with a smile and quickly walked towards the Mercenary Guild.

Pushing open the door of the guild, there were only a few mercenaries still sleeping inside, even the members responsible for guarding the guild were sleeping on the table.

I looked around and then walked towards the president's office.

"Yo, President, are you still working overtime?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the president suddenly raised her head from behind a stack of documents.

Looking at the corner of her mouth, it seems she slept pretty well.

"President, you can keep sleeping. I'll come back later."

"No no no, I'm already awake!"

The president quickly stood up and said.

"Oh... I see."

"Yes! So don't mind... wait, aren't you Filip?"

"Ah, yeah, I spent some time with the elves."

"Elves?"

"Yes, this time the monsters all came from the elves."

"Is that so? Does that mean the elves orchestrated this attack?"

"No no no."

I immediately shook my head.

"Of course not, the elves are also victims this time. Those monsters were originally meant to protect their base, but because they were controlled, some of them came to our side, and the other part turned around and attacked the elves' city."

"I see... so who controlled those monsters?"

"Snake Eye, I think they have already entered the next stage, but we still don't know what they want to do."

"I see, I understand. It seems that I need to strengthen the defense on our side too. By the way, do you have any plans recently?"

Originally I didn't, but I do now. Speaking of which, can you help me check if there are any elves with the surname 'Mengluo' in the Witte Empire? I'm helping an elf find her sister."

"Mengluo, right? Okay, I'll keep an eye out, but you know, the Witte Empire is not a small country..."

"Sure, just keep an eye out and let me know when you find something."

"I got it, no problem. You've done us a huge favor in Blue Lake City this time, I don't know how to thank you."

"It's nothing."

"No no no, as a National Mage from another country, coming to help another country, this is rare in history."

"Huh?"

"Well~ because you haven't come back for so long, I did a little investigation. It's actually difficult to investigate you, but your companion is from the East, so comparing identities, we quickly figured out who you are."

It seems that this president, although smiling every day, is actually very shrewd.

Well, that's understandable, after all, she is the president.

"Are you badmouthing me in your mind?"

"No no, how could I dare~"

I responded with a bitter smile.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you then. We'll talk later."

"It seems like you're still on the road, where are you planning to go?"

"Of course... to visit another city."
