The Kingdom of Gil team had just arrived in this small space, and they were indeed surprised.
Where is this?
The ruins have a desolate and dilapidated feel, the art style is off!
But here, there is a small bridge over a stream, classic little domed houses, and buildings where the ancient Duchy of Fekham used for meditation and cultivation.
This building was spotted by Ron, who often hid in the library.
After his initial surprise, Ron was the first to regain his composure.
Ron may have wandered into a private residence.
Moreover, those who can build houses on the site of ruins must be people of profound spiritual attainment.
Um, excuse me, we'll be leaving now.
It was a mistake to use teleportation magic that was too precise. It would have been better to teleport outside; at least we could have gotten out faster.
Now, Ron shouted, "Everyone, get out of here first!"
After walking a short distance, they were stopped by an old man.
“Little ones, since you’re already here, why not chat with this old man for a bit to pass the time?”
"Senior, we still have a competition, next time, next time..." Ron said awkwardly.
In the Oran Continent, suddenly barging into someone's home is considered very impolite, and you'll likely be reprimanded without any recourse.
Sure enough, the old man glared at Ron, sending a chill down his spine.
The old man said again, "I said I wanted you to talk to me for a few minutes."
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you, senior."
With only a few crucial days left, Ron, who still wanted to secure first place in the academy, asked, "Senior, would you like to chat for a few minutes?"
"Of course, you rude boy, if you want to stay, this old man is not happy."
Princess Shirley, on the other hand, reacted quite differently. Shirley had often spent time with the legendary Will since she was a child, and she felt an inexplicable sense of kinship upon seeing the old man again.
He kicked Ron in protest of Ron's poor handling of the situation.
The lovely young girl, Princess Shirley, stepped forward: "Hello, grandpa. Your voice sounds just like the old man from back then. Do you live here, grandpa?"
"Yes, young girls are still the best!"
"Here, I'm so happy, these things are for you."
Five small stones.
Ron's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Void Stone!
It came so easily, great! And the old man doesn't seem to want to punish Ron and his men for trespassing.
That's great! What a rewarding experience, and I even met a wonderful mentor!
The voices are similar, the stone cave where heroes are buried... Could it be?
"Hey kid, what are you looking at? This is for the little girl, it's not for you!"
"You entered my house without my invitation. You space mages are all the same. Get out..."
Ron and the others were enveloped by wind elements, and everyone except Sherry was instantly sent away.
The wind element is too strong, it just won't stop!
Individuals were hit and thrown against large trees or mountainsides.
Princess Shirley chuckled to herself.
She loved seeing Ron make a fool of himself, since Ron always bullied her. Anyway, Shirley knew the old man had no intention of killing her.
Ron has no manners at all!
However, Princess Shirley did not treat the elders with the respect due to a junior, but instead interacted with the elderly as a little girl as usual.
"Grandpa, how many years have you lived here?"
"It's been many years."
"..."
If Ron were here, wouldn't seeing Shirley like this be just like when Shirley faced the legend of Will?
Unlike Ron, Ron was very serious when facing his mentor, Will!
He was usually tortured by Will's legendary training.
Will Legend seems to know that Ron is mature enough that pretending to be innocent would only seem contrived!
Shirley has a natural advantage.
Carlisle, enduring the sharp pain in his shoulder, approached Ron.
My shoulder hurts a lot from the impact.
Ron knows water-based healing magic, and his own condition is currently better. He cast a water healing spell on Carlisle.
"The princess hasn't come out, Captain, we..."
"Let's wait! It's getting late, let them set up camp."
It was usually civilians who set up camp, but Ron would sometimes help, and Carlisle would help civilians set up camp along with Captain Ron.
This is also why Ron chose Carlisle to compete with him.
It's rare for the son of a duke to be so approachable; other high-ranking nobles wouldn't follow Ron in doing things with commoners.
The team atmosphere is good.
After setting up camp, people scattered the monster's excrement around the camp.
There was a faint, strange smell, but at this moment, they, being adventurers, didn't care at all; instead, they felt a sense of security from it.
These magical beasts are of a very high level, and the smell of their excrement will scare away many low-level magical beasts.
Some mutated magical beasts with very little intelligence are useless; someone still needs to be on duty at night.
Ron readily accepted the task.
Because of Ron's cautious nature, he was still a little worried; it wouldn't be good if something happened inside.
Carlisle was sent to bed by Ron.
"It's your turn tomorrow. We'll wait until the princess comes out."
"Okay, Ron, who will be on duty for the second half of the night?"
"No need, it's just me tonight."
Ron glanced inside, then looked at the starry sky again.
The sky is filled with stars, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky. There are two moons, one large and one small, complementing each other.
Ethereal and beautiful…
Having been in this world for many years, Ron was already used to it.
Under the moonlight and starlight, Ron slowly closed his eyes and entered a semi-meditative state.
Retain a wisp of spiritual energy to observe possible changes.
At night, the other members meditated and did their homework, just like everyone else.
Having spent these past few days with Captain Ron, I've unknowingly become just as diligent in my cultivation as the captain.
The night was quiet.
In the latter half of the night, the two crescent moons appeared and disappeared in the sky, and there was still plenty of starlight, so there was no need to use fire magic for lighting.
Ron suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's out, but it's so slow."
It wasn't just a casual chat! The seniors' opinions were inconsistent.
Just a couple of complaints.
Princess Shirley came out and saw Ron, who had just woken up, from afar.
A sudden feeling of sweetness welled up inside me; this guy actually knew to worry about me.
Hehe, it wasn't for nothing that I, the princess, said so many good things about Ron before.
The princess walked slowly, seemingly unwilling to wake her team members, who were all taking a nap after finishing their training.
No monsters or mutated beasts attacked that night, and people slept soundly.
Shirley's charming figure only took out five Void Stones after she sat down next to Ron on the boulder.
"Here you go!"
