That was what happened two days after the Fishmen Island event came to a successful end.
After Vela received a Player notification that there was a suspicious person loitering at the entrance of the town and could not be attacked, she led several Players who Angora had recruited as guards there, only to find that the person loitering at the entrance was Kinley Ainsworth, the apprentice alchemist they met in Tunaya.
On the other hand, Kinley's already wide eyes widened the moment she saw Vela.
"Y-y-you … Aren't you dead?!"
Although Kinley had followed Edward's party and witnessed the Players' fighting style back at the Silver Eagle Castle, Edward's party was the top fighting force of the Players. As long as the party members weren't idiots, they would naturally fight smoothly and smoothly. Moreover, with Eleena the Saintess-in-training around, who was throwing a tantrum because she didn't get to eat the milk pudding and had her combat prowess skyrocketing, all sorts of skills and special effects were unleashed as if they cost nothing.
In such a chaotic situation, even Joe or Gou Dan who was pulling aggro would be revived by Eleena or Jessica if they were careless. Kinley felt as if they had been beaten down by Lemures and returned to the battlefield with a single healing spell. While there was no telling why healing spells would have such cool effects, it was still within the realm of understanding …
Even so, the fact that the dead had been resurrected was so shocking that Kinley couldn't even keep up her feeble facade and was utterly shocked.
After all, even the Silver Eagle Duke, Horan, believed that Vela was dead, even thinking that he had accidentally caused the death of his son's follower and lover. He felt so guilty that he had repeatedly suggested to hold a gathering for Angora, inviting every noble lady in the North so that he could pick one he liked, but Angora refused without hesitation.
And Angora's intentions were clear.
Finding a girlfriend is never as fun as playing games.
Naturally, Horan would never have imagined that his son was so addicted to games that he wasn't in the mood for matchmaking. He even believed that he was unable to free himself from his lost love, and was therefore filled with guilt.
Although Horan had thought of other ways to remedy the situation, Angora and the others had already teleported to the frogmen village from the lifestone after receiving word of the tsunami, and it was too late even if he came up with a solution.
That was why Kinley, who had been shocked by the system's technology and believed that the town had developed a new era of alchemy, sought out Horan and told him that she was heading to the Unnamed Town to find Angora (and try to learn the alchemy there). The old man was at once relieved and did not object, instead subsidizing Kinley with a huge sum of money as travel expenses, giving her several luxurious carriages and several of his most trusted champions from the army as bodyguards. He even subtly told her that Angora was worshipping a heretical god so that she could prepare herself mentally.
Kinley wasn't too concerned about the information the old man revealed. As an alchemist herself, she naturally worshipped Alchemy, the God of Alchemy, and to religions like the Brilliant White Church, Alchemy's absolute neutrality was considered a heretical deity.
However, Alchemy God Alchemy God had a wide spread of believers, with many of them being master alchemists who had mastered core alchemy technology of this era. Each of those masters possessed technology that could overturn the current state of the continent, which was why every nation treated them with respect — even the kings of smaller nations were inferior to them!
Kinley's mentor was one of them, which was why Pompey, the son of a grand duke, would act like a bootlicker in front of her even though he wanted to expand his influence and gain more authority …
One way or another, as long as their own god did not intend to rewrite the laws of nature to interfere in mortal conflicts, the likes of the Brilliant White Church would naturally not hunt down believers of Alchemy like they did to other heretical deities.
On the other hand, not only was Kinley not troubled by the fact that Angora worshipped a heretical deity, she even felt enlightened. No wonder Angora's retainers could develop a style of combat and conduct that differed from mainstream churches, and even their unusual alchemy technology was unseen. It would make sense if it was a heretical deity that was independent of mainstream deities!
That also made Kinley even more curious about the trip to the town. What kind of mystical technology would that heretical deity show her?
In the end, he didn't let her down when he arrived at the town. Kinley was left dumbfounded by what she saw right away.
What the hell, even the technology to resurrect the dead? Isn't that a little too amazing? Aren't you guys afraid that Prince Hades would come knocking on your door?
"Ah, so it's you …" Vela was not concerned that Kinley believed that she was dead, and could not help frowning. "Why are you here?"
Her reaction also completely shattered Kinley's idea that they might be twins, which left her even more curious about the heretical deity's alchemy technology.
"To find Angora, of course. Could you show me the way, miss?" Kinley said with a sweet smile. Her small face was so amiable that everyone around her couldn't help but feel fond of her.
Vela was the only one who felt a headache at the sight.
She had a nagging feeling that the delicate girl before her was not as simple as she appeared to be.
Moreover, there was a long line of carriages behind her at the entrance of the town that looked as if they had prepared a dowry and a monetary gift, leaving Vela feeling even worse.
Be that as it may, Vela did not chase Kinley away with her authority, and instead led her into the town after sighing helplessly.
After all, even the System had recognized Kinley as an ally, not to mention that she was the apprentice of the greatest alchemist on the continent. It was better to leave her to Angora to decide whether she should stay or leave. * * *
Kinley could feel Vela's hostility as well, but she did not mind it at all. After all, even if Kinley was resurrected, she was still a village girl and had no competitive edge against herself.
After entering the town, Kinley looked around and discovered many unusual technologies she had never seen before, just as she wished.
Soon, Vela led her to Angora, who was handling some official business.
Angora appeared impatient, and was about to refuse her outright when Kinley told him why she was here.
But at that very moment, Angora's body suddenly froze. His eyes stared blankly at the empty space before him, and only muttered tiredly after a moment, "Is this an order to pick up girls …"
Then, under Vera's piercing gaze, he scratched his head in distress and said, "I can let you stay in the town, but because there are some people in my territory … well, almost all of them are very special. In order to prevent conflict, I have to set some rules with you first."
