"Hmm~"
Liens opened his eyes and looked at Nora, who had erged from the floor.
"Miss Nora…"
"Call Nora."
Nora interrupted Liens, saying seriously.
Although her intimate contact earlier was an impulsive act, she had thought it over carefully afterward and felt that Liens could indeed be considered a good match for her.
Their strengths were similar, making them well-matched.
Moreover, their interests were very similar; she was curious about everything, and Liens was also on a path of studying all things, so they had many common topics.
Even the disparity in lifespan was not an insurmountable problem; she was very optimistic about Liens becoming a Legend.
Appearance, personality, interests, current capital, future developnt… From any perspective, if she wanted to find a partner, Liens would be an excellent choice.
Thinking of this, Nora's mind conjured images of a wedding hall, a cozy little house, and… she couldn't think any further; the rest was too embarrassing.
Liens looked at Nora, who was inexplicably flushed and seed to have steam rising from her head, unsure what to say.
When he was studying her in the dungeon, she wasn't so easily embarrassed; instead, she spouted all sorts of wild remarks. Why was she inexplicably shy from ti to ti in reality?
"Miss No… Alright, Nora, is there sothing you need from this ti?"
Liens had originally intended to keep his original form of address, but under Nora's direct gaze, he omitted the 'Miss' part.
"Didn't I say 'see you later'? So I ca, and you still haven't had dinner with … If my consecutive invitations fail, won't I lose face?"
As she spoke, Nora walked over to Liens, sat down beside him, leaned slightly towards him, straightened her nose, took a deep breath, showed a contented expression, and then chuckled:
"Your aura is indeed very comfortable."
Such actions, such words, if Liens and Nora had swapped genders, it would have been outright harassnt.
It was only because Nora was a great beauty that such behavior seed sowhat cute.
Liens didn't pay attention to Nora's 'lecherous' behavior; he had seen many of her eccentricities in the dungeon. He calmly said to Nora:
"If it's just a simple al together, there's no problem, but I won't have ti to continue playing around with you for anything more."
"Tomorrow, I will probably leave here to deal with so important matters."
Nora frowned slightly, asking a series of questions: "So urgent? Is it troubleso? Do you need my help?"
"I need to resolve the current chaos in the Hartwin Kingdom. This is my responsibility, and precisely because you are here, I can confidently handle this matter."
Liens responded seriously.
If his injuries hadn't healed, he could naturally rest for a few days, but since the ntal trauma was almost healed, he should continue to shoulder his responsibilities.
Just like the elves' currently unknown 'price of longevity,' as a special individual of destiny, he bore a large amount of karma and enjoyed many benefits, so he naturally had to bear responsibility.
This responsibility included not only his decisive battle with Sword Saint Alfred but also the stability of the Hartwin Kingdom.
In troubled tis, what ordinary commoners most yearned for was a peaceful life, and as the one bearing their wishes, he needed to fulfill their most basic desires and quell the chaos in the Hartwin Kingdom.
He knew this was his next task after Lucrezia explained the current chaotic situation to him when he woke up this morning.
This was sothing he had to do, whether he could achieve it or not; doing it was the only way to respond to the 'karma of all beings' on him.
Therefore, he really didn't have much ti to play around with Nora.
He also planned to use the remaining ti to thoroughly study her elven characteristics to provide strong data for creating longevity abilities in the future.
After hearing Liens' explanation, Nora felt a little dejected.
She had wanted to get along with Liens for a while longer to further confirm their compatibility, but she didn't expect Liens to leave so soon.
She had just signed a contract with Elthorp to protect the Rebel Army, so she couldn't just follow Liens around.
In fact, Liens was leaving precisely because she was here, which made her begin to wonder if she and Liens were destined to be together in the end or not.
"Oh, right, Nora, didn't you go to contact the Legend of your elves? How did it go?"
Noticing Nora's mood was off, and to maintain their good relationship to ensure the research progress, Liens imdiately brought up another topic to divert Nora's attention.
Moreover, he was quite interested in the outco of that matter.
"They didn't tell the truth, but they also didn't forbid from learning the truth from other sources."
Nora still looked downcast, answering casually.
Originally, she was quite happy with the outco of this matter and wanted to share her joy with Liens, but she didn't expect to hear the news of Liens' departure as soon as she arrived.
A feeling of heartbreak before a relationship had even officially begun weighed on her, making it impossible for her to be happy.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this result, Liens lowered his head slightly in thought; not forbidding it already hinted at so information.
"I've got it!"
A joyful voice interrupted Liens' contemplation.
Liens looked up at Nora, who had suddenly shouted and stood up, wondering what Nora was planning to do now.
Noticing Liens' gaze on her, Nora revealed a mysterious smile and, without directly explaining, walked towards the armor and longsword Liens had placed in the room.
The armor and longsword were the dark silver set Liens had used on the battlefield before, but they had both been damaged one after another.
Although they had now been repaired by the Rebel Army, Liens realized that their usefulness to him was already very small.
The armor was like paper under Alfred's sword, and the longsword could not withstand his true power. The source of thɪs content is novel{f}ire
At the 'Saint' stage, ordinary equipnt might not be as useful as weapons and equipnt they casually condensed with elents.
This was also why Liens didn't bring a sword when fighting Nora in the dungeon before, choosing instead to directly condense Wind Elent.
The effect was truly similar.
"Liens, do you know about 'inheritance items'?"
Nora patted the dark silver armor beside her and asked Liens with a smile.
Liens nodded, indicating he knew.
"My elves happen to have a secret art that can enable ordinary items to possess the characteristics of 'inheritance items,' allowing them to gradually beco [inheritance items]."
"These should be the weapons and armor you used before, and now they are not of much use to you."
"But as long as they are converted into [inheritance items], they can grow with you and always provide you with assistance."
"I can do this, but to activate the 'inheritance' characteristic, it will take a little ti, not much, probably only four or five days… You shouldn't be in that much of a hurry, right?"
Nora's face showed confidence, as if this matter was a piece of cake for her.
"What do I need to pay?"
Liens asked.
"You can't refuse my requests these next few days… Hmm, don't worry, I won't make any excessive demands."
Upon hearing this, Nora knew Liens was inclined to agree, and the smile on her face beca even brighter. She quickly responded, and seemingly worried Liens might misunderstand, she added another sentence.
"This price is too light; it cannot bear this gift."
Liens shook his head. Nora thought Liens was going to refuse, but Liens' next words settled her heart, and her good impression of Liens increased by a few points.
"Wherever power can reach, and where sound is heard, this is a contract of destiny."
