Chapter supdatenovel/book/new/Restarting-From-Genesis_4158/Hey-there-Dalai_3105597.html: Hey there Dalai
The room was quickly filled with the sound of students scampering out of the room as quickly as they could.
rlin sat in his chair and watched as Elore blew smoke rings into the air before exhaling a cloud of smoke that quickly took the form of a small dragon. Her little smoke dragon flew through each smoke ring before dissipating into the air.
At that mont, the doors closed and the only two people in the room was rlin and the instructor.
"Well, since you've decided to stick around, I'll take it that you're interested in eting this teacher," She said before extinguishing her pipe. "Follow ."
rlin hopped up out of his chair and made his way down several steps and rows of seats before reaching the stage.
Upon climbing the small set of stairs onto the stage, and making his way over to the teacher who was waiting for him, he found that he was quite a bit shorter than her.
He was previously looking at her from a high angle, and while she did seem rather tall from a distance, he didn't expect that she would be a head taller than him, even without the heels she was currently wearing.
Elore gave rlin a small smile before making her way to a door hidden behind the stage.
rlin followed her while taking a glance at his stream once more, only to internally sigh in disappointnt at his viewer's behaviour.
Elore led rlin through the room behind the stage and into another door that led into a hallway. She made sure that he was following her before she started moving again, quickly navigating the building and leading rlin down a flight of stairs.
rlin tried to morise the path they were taking until Elore suddenly stopped in front of a door.
"And here we are," Elore said before tapping her pipe on the door.
A few monts later, rlin heard the sound of paper being rustled before the clicking sound of a door lock.
Elore took a step back monts before the door quickly swung open, and a woman with ssy blonde hair, large round glasses and dark bags under her eyes stuck her head out of the room.
"What do you want?" She crankily asked Elore with a tired tone in her voice.
It seed as though this person had either not slept for a very long ti or was just rudely woken up from her attempt to sleep. Either way, she didn't seem happy.
"I'm here to introduce you to a new student," Elore said in a bright and chipper tone, it was clear that she was trying to annoy the angry teacher, perhaps she was just using rlin as a reason for doing so?
"They asked about the ruins in this city, and I thought you were the perfect person to talk to," Elore said, raising her voice before turning to rlin, "et Dalai, you two are likely going to be the best of friends."
Elore said that monts before scampering off, leaving rlin with the very angry looking Dalai.
'Woooow, that was petty.' rlin thought to himself.
Dalai turned to look at him, the dark bags on her face emphasised her bright green eyes, they almost seed to be faintly glowing.
"Are you actually interested in the ruins of this city, or is she just making a fool out of ?" Dalai muttered.
"Probably both," rlin said, "I am interested in the ruins, but I haven't been able to find much information about them... Actually, I'm most interested in the door fra near the rangers guild, the one that glows during a full moon."
Dalai's eyes lit up as rlin muttered those words, and as a smile grew on her face, a notification appeared before rlin.
「You have completed the quest, "Archaeology Club.", rewards have been delivered.」
"You truly do understand!" She remarked, her previous cranky attitude was suddenly nowhere to be seen. "Although, I've got a theory that it's not actually a door fra, but serves as so kind of--"
"portal to another dinsion." Both rlin and Dalai spoke at the sa ti, causing Dalai's grin to widen even further.
"Sorry, I didn't get your na," Dalai said, reaching her hand out for a handshake, although her hand was barely peeking out from her oversized robe.
"It's rlin, nice to et you," rlin said while shaking her hand.
"rlin huh? What a wonderful na for a wizard." Dalai said before disappearing into her room. "Co in, I want to show you sothing,"
rlin followed her in but found that he was wading through scraps of loose paper that had fallen onto the floor.
"Don't worry about damaging those, they're all garbage theories," She said while running towards a table that had a chunk of rock floating above it.
"Here, take a look at this," she said, pointing to a large sheet of paper spread over the desk and the floating rock. "I traced out the text above that door fra, and this piece of rock is part of a destroyed statue in the abandoned temple in Acacesium."
"I had requested so students go out and retrieve a piece when I read a report from the rangers guild about what happened during their raid." She said, "It detailed that all the statues had been destroyed, and since it's a major sin to destroy the statue of a deity yourself, I figured it'd be okay to take a piece of one that was already destroyed."
"And look at this, the statues used to stand on podiums that had their nas engraved in them, so of the letters used in this na match the letters used on the door fra." She said, pointing at the engravings on the rock.
rlin quickly glanced at his chat when he noticed highlighted text.

"Unfortunately, I don't know which god this text is referring to, so I'm no closer to mapping out the language or translating the text on the door fra." She said, "So I'm thinking that I'll likely have to visit the temple myself, rather than send people out to collect samples for ."
"The only issue with that is that I'm not very well suited for combat, so it isn't safe for to enter the wilderness alone." She said, "You ntioned the rangers guild earlier, would it be safe to assu that you're the sa rlin ntioned in the rangers guild report?"
"Yeah, I was there," rlin said.
"I knew it. Well, I'd like to put a request in," She said, "Would you be willing to guide to the abandoned temple near Acacesium?"

"Absolutely," rlin said, accepting the quest imdiately.
"Wonderful!" Dalai said, "I'd like to set out imdiately if that's alright with you?"
rlin nodded in response, which caused her to scamper around grabbing a few materials and stuffing them into a bag.
"Give a mont to get ready," She said while grabbing a staff that was slightly taller than she was.
While Dalai continued searching for items, rlin swapped his equipnt out. Replacing his staff with Ghostsaw's blade and the wolf's fang.
After Dalai finished getting ready, she led rlin out of the building.
"Oh, by the way. I'm an earth mage who focuses on defence in a fight," She explained as she scampered out onto the street, "so I'll support you as best as I can if we run into any trouble."
"Alright, sounds good," rlin said while tapping his daggers, "I'm a front liner of sorts, so I'll be fighting in lee range."
The two made their way to the gate leading into the wilderness, and after greeting the guards who were standing by, they made their way through the gate and onto the path to Acacesium.
"Give a mont please," Dalai said before taking a few steps off the path and kneeling on the grass. She began chanting while rotating her staff, and a few monts later the ground began to gently rumble.
Rocks and dirt began floating into the air before suddenly being compressed into small hardened shapes, those shapes were then crushed against others until the form of two horse-like creatures took shape.
With the tap of her staff, both horse golems seed to suddenly spring to life.
"Earth golems?" rlin asked.
"Yes, they'll cut our travel ti down trendously," She said, "You didn't plan on walking there, did you? We'd also have to worry about carrying stuff back."
rlin didn't say anything in response, he just hopped up on one of the golems after Dalai had signalled for him to do so.
