Pillar of Yita

The girl then turned back and met the elf girl’s gaze, ”That’s why I’m determined, I will definitely find my father.”

Atira nodded gently, ”You will, because the Goddess has told us, everyone will find their answer.”

Hilveld politely smiled upon hearing this, giving a nod to the Lady Elf.

Yet, there was not a hint of wavering in her eyes, and in her heart, she knew that what she relied upon was never any of the gods—

And of course, Fang Hong would not be privy to the private conversation between the two girls. Since they had decided to leave the Adventurers’ Guild, there was one last thing that had to be done.

That was to check if the name Morning Dawn Star had any inheritors left; if there were none, then they would pick up this name and make it shine again above the Cloud Sea of Eteliria.

If there were inheritors, then they would establish their own Adventure Group here.

Because that was an oath Fang Hong once made, something he promised Miss Sicape in person—he would create not just a small Adventure Group—for it would be unprecedentedly great, surpassing any era, any person.

Those were his words.

Now, he was going to make it a reality, step by step.

And because in this team, almost everyone understood what this matter meant for the big boy, for their team, so when Fang Hong took out his Communication Crystal, the others couldn’t help but fall silent.

Fang Hong first used the ID from his memory to contact Miss Sicape, who appeared to be in deep night, the former Lady Elf wearing a thin silk nightgown, her hair a mess like a bird’s nest, and not looking at all like a Longevity Seed should.

At the same time, she was looking at Fang Hong quite irritatedly, ”Are you crazy, kid? Don’t you see what time it is? Calling me up in the middle of the night, you better have a good reason,” she retorted sharply.

She gestured a Sicape Flow Hand Knife, the meaning was self-evident.

But she suddenly stopped because she saw the iconic ’golden tower’ in the screen—that was ’Golande’s’ most famous ’building,’ the Crown of Morning Light, a world she was once so familiar with.

Sicape suddenly felt a sourness in her nose.

”You little brat,” she deliberately cursed, ”You really came to this place. But when you were showing off in Fenris, how come you didn’t think of me? Was it thrilling, enjoyable, and did you run off with someone’s pretty girl again?”

As she said this, she suddenly saw Hilveld, smiling gently beside Fang Hong in the image, and felt a bit embarrassed, thus holding her tongue.

Just taking a light breath and blinking—

The once seemingly immature little guy had grown up in her eyes, even having a girlfriend of his own. A soft maternal warmth filled Sicape’s heart, and she gently stroked her belly.

There, a tiny life was growing.

Through the screen, Fang Hong was not afraid of the former Big Sister, simply replying, ”We’ve arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild, Miss Sicape.”

”I see,” Sicape responded, ”You think I’m an idiot?”

She paused for a moment before continuing, ”Go to office number 035731A; that’s where we established our team. The things stored by Morning Dawn Star are in lockers 037A and 039B, and the password is Serval’s birthday. You should still remember it, right?”

Fang Hong nodded. He naturally remembered Miss Sicape’s pet serval cat, Miss Serval. Unfortunately, Miss Sicape never had much talent in keeping pets, and poor Miss Serval didn’t leave much of a mark with Morning Dawn Star.

Only then did Sicape greet the others one by one, and they too had already heard of Lady Sicape, the former team leader. Aside from Xiangzi and Elisa, who were slightly curious, they all greeted Sicape in return.

Fang Hong then led the others to the counter of office number 035731A.

Along the way, he simply let Tata reveal herself again and introduced his fairy lady, the Dragon Soul of the Silver Library, to Sicape and the others. Of course—he didn’t directly say that this was an Artificial Dragon Soul.

The others were alright with it, thinking Tata was merely a guiding fairy. After all, even if it was a real fairy, it wasn’t really a big deal.

It was Tianlan, though, who was overjoyed, her excitement like that of a little girl seeing candy, almost screaming the moment she saw Tata, wishing to reach out her ’magic claws’ to the fairy lady right away.

But Fang Hong had already taken precautions against this young girl.

He quickly slapped away her sneakily approaching claws and sternly told her that Miss Tata was a noble, elegant lady and should not be treated like a toy or handled carelessly.

Tianlan then rolled her clever eyes and exclaimed, ”Oh,” obviously dismissing his words as idle talk.

However, besides Tianlan, Gita seemed very interested in Tata, and the former also looked at the little Natural Historian lady a few times. Fang Hong actually understood that Tata had always liked Gita’s temperament.

After all, their pursuit of knowledge was consistent.

Seeing this scene, Fang Hong couldn’t help but think that, if there were a chance, he could actually let Tata teach some knowledge to their future Natural Historians, serving as their teacher. In terms of richness of knowledge, Miss Fairy surely deserved the role.

Yet this was just a minor episode.

When they arrived at the counter, they inquired with the staff about whether the inheritance application right for the name Morning Dawn Star Adventure Group had expired. If it hadn’t, they wondered if they could apply for it.

The staff member, a very patient young girl, checked the data for a while before telling them that the inheritance application right for Morning Dawn Star Adventure Group had not expired.

But she also told them that they could not apply.

Upon hearing this, Lady Sicape, the former team leader, instantly bristled, ”Why can’t we apply? You’d better give me a reason, or else I’d go through the Stargate Port and complain about you. Could it be that someone dares to embezzle Morning Dawn Star’s property?”

The young girl was startled by her, only then did she take a closer look at Sicape’s appearance, refer to the data, and realize that she was dealing with the former captain of Morning Dawn Star—although the files clearly marked that this person was ’dead’.

In her view, talking to a ’dead person’ was certainly strange, but she of course understood the special nature of Invokers, so she cautiously said, ”Miss Sicape, right? We certainly don’t mean to give you a hard time, but it’s because someone has already applied for the inheritance right of the name Morning Dawn Star.”

Sicape was immediately taken aback.
