Chapter 65: One night without sleep, preparing to depart.
Lyon sat on the sofa with his head tilted back, legs crossed, looking refreshed and in high spirits.
"Now I'm assigning you tasks in the City of Apprentices."
"This way, Elor can directly avoid the Ryan family."
"With the backing of the City of Apprentices, this mission can help delay things for six months to a year, and the Ryan family won't say anything."
"As long as there is six months, whether the Ryan family finds a suitable fiancé or has their eye on someone suitable to marry into the family, we can disrupt their plans and delay the process."
After saying this, Leon looked at his sister with a smug expression.
Leon shook her head helplessly, a smile on her face. She made her brother a cup of black tea and walked behind Leon, gently massaging his shoulders.
"Okay, Leon, thank you for your hard work."
A look of relief appeared on Elor's face, and he sincerely thanked Leon, saying, "Thank you, brother Leon."
Lyon smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Don't mention it. I've watched you two grow up since you were little kids. How could I not help you with something like this?"
"Hurry up and get ready. I'm going to find Kane now and tell him to leave tomorrow. You guys just follow behind Kane."
"Before you set off, I will give you tools for location tracking and communication. Remember to keep them with you."
After saying that, Kane stood up and walked towards the door.
Click.
The door closed.
Elor pinched her cheek in disbelief.
"……pain."
Elor excitedly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.
Just that morning, he was still racking his brains about what to do, and had even decided to go back with the Ryan family.
In the afternoon, things took a turn for the better.
Leons chuckled, "Hehe, things are temporarily resolved. I'll cook dinner, how about that? Consider it a celebration."
Elor naturally had no objections.
She had just nodded when she saw Dorothy peeking out from the second floor.
Dorothy noticed the commotion when Lyon knocked and came in.
However, she never came down.
At this moment, Dorothy also praised Leon in her heart for doing a great job.
Lyon helped her buy at least six months of time.
Six months is enough time for her to grow!
Elor tilted her head back and smiled brightly.
"Dorothy, starting tomorrow, we're going on another adventure!"
Dorothy blinked.
"Well, although I really want to say 'Great!', but..."
Dorothy raised her left hand, showing the quill pen she was holding.
"Elor, have you forgotten? I still have an entire magic book to copy down." Dorothy said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"..." Elor remained silent.
"Oh!" she exclaimed in surprise.
Elor gritted her teeth and looked at Leonse.
"Lily, go brew a pot of black tea now. We're not sleeping tonight!"
After saying that, Elor rushed upstairs, grabbed Dorothy's wrist, and headed towards the bedroom.
"Start copying now, hurry up and do it, I'll help you share some of the workload!"
Leonce stood in the empty living room and blinked.
"Copying an entire magic book in one night? That's quite an exciting experience. I'll prepare some more bread and meat slices; they shouldn't be hungry for long."
The three of them divided the work and cooperated.
The alchemical lamp in Dorothy's bedroom remained lit all night.
……
the next morning.
When Lyon came to deliver the alchemical equipment for communication, he was startled to see the three little guys with tired faces in front of him.
Lyon scratched his head.
"I know you're all excited right now, after all, you're about to get rid of the Ryan family's troubles for the time being, but you can't go without rest."
Elor pushed Dorothy directly in front of him.
Dorothy scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
Her hands are still a little sore.
"Well, it's all my fault. I've been taking on tasks from the library to earn credits, and I only had one left yesterday. Elor and Lyons helped me finish it."
"I see. Here, you three take these." Leon shook his head slightly and took out three rings.
"When you use it, you can infuse it with magic and see the location of other rings. After continuously infusing magic, the patterns engraved on the inner ring of the ring will glow and emit a slight burning sensation, indicating that you can communicate with people wearing the same ring."
"Special measures have been taken to conceal it, so there's no need to worry about being discovered."
"You should still have some time. Since the mission is quite time-sensitive, Kane is making preparations. He should be in the shopping district buying supplies for your trip. So Dorothy can go and return the spellbook to complete the mission. I'll take Elor and Lyons to the shopping district to buy the adventure supplies you need."
Lyon quickly made arrangements.
This earned Dorothy's admiring look.
"Truly a mature adult, calm and collected in the face of adversity!"
Dorothy then gave Leon a thumbs-up.
Leon shook his head slightly. "What mature adult? I just turned eighteen, I don't even have a fiancée yet, and what does that gesture mean?"
"It means you're the best," Dorothy explained after a moment's hesitation.
Leon's actual age is much younger than he looks.
"Alright, let's get moving. You need to leave before noon, or things might change."
Leon didn't care whether Rosie's words were true or false, and urged the three of them to take action.
Elor knew she couldn't waste Leon's good intentions, so she took Leon's hand and walked towards the shopping street.
Dorothy untied the thin hemp rope around her neck and put on the new ring that Leon had given her.
She was already wearing two rings that Lyon had given her.
It seems like Leon really likes ring designs.
So Dorothy reminded him, "Mr. Leon, don't just give him ring-shaped alchemical items anymore. There's a reason you can't find a fiancée."
After saying that, Dorothy patted Leon's arm and walked towards the library.
Leon was left standing there completely bewildered.
"Huh? They don't give you alchemical artifacts in the ring style. That's the most popular and universally acknowledged convenient style among magicians. You can wear ten of them on both hands together!"
He watched Dorothy walk away, then suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded her, "Oh, and remember to contact Kane after you set off!"
Dorothy, who had already walked away, turned her back to Leon and raised her left hand, extending her thumb.
When Leon saw Dorothy make the gesture again, he scratched his head and gave her a thumbs up as well.
"Well, maybe this is Dorothy giving herself a hint to encourage herself."
Many magicians often give themselves certain suggestions in order to make their spellcasting smoother or their incantations more accurate.
Although Leon didn't understand, he was willing to try to understand Dorothy.
In the morning, the three split into two teams.
Dorothy finishes her task, while Elor and Lyons purchase the items they will need later.
After all, the departure time may not be long, and there are many things to prepare.
For example, replacement magic wands, magic robes, and other necessary equipment.
