Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 384 - 216: Legendary and Myth (Part 2)

Li Ang secured it at his waist.

The expedition to the Dome Furnace Association exceeded his expectations.

Initially, he just wanted to acquire a good Magic Staff and didn’t expect the Staff of Yidai to transform into a Treasure Artifact.

He also considered that even if he obtained a Treasure Artifact, he could trade it with A Xiang to get Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn, completing his set of four swords.

But now he absolutely wouldn’t part with Orichalcum, further delaying the acquisition of Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn.

Saying goodbye to the members of the Dome Furnace Association, and leaving Molaine’s shop amidst their regards, Li Ang discussed this issue with Elaphia on the road.

"No need to worry too much, A Xiang was willing to negotiate since the topic came up at the Knight Resolution Council; he wouldn’t usually entertain ordinary people."

Aifei chuckled, "That lazy fish is actually quite concerned with flair, and he’s fond of the legendary story above Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"That’s good, that’s good." Falo, more worried than Li Ang, patted his chest and sighed with relief.

"Don’t you have a Treasure Artifact? Offer one." Elaphia glared at the brown-haired Douding.

"It’s not the same," Falo seemed to feel at a loss and shrank back.

The merchant Douding made so much money; who knows what she spent it on. Li Ang had the same question.

"Why is everyone you meet just a lazy fish?" Lisya quietly quipped.

"Then I’ll correct you as the laziest fish."

"Damn, damn Blondie Douding."

At a crossroads, the orange-haired young girl said, "Alright, I’ll head back to the dorm from here."

She was fiddling with a small notebook as she walked, occasionally flipping through it, then looked at the three of them.

"What?" Elaphia asked.

Lisya patted the notebook on her palm and suddenly asked Li Ang, "Do you have any thoughts of cooperating with our Order Investigation Corps?"

"Hmm? What kind of cooperation?"

"Wait." Elaphia frowned, stepping between them, staring at the orange-haired girl’s face as if to discern her intentions.

But Lisya always had the demeanor of a youthful girl, with no changes in expression or emotional fluctuations.

"He’s always too busy for extraneous matters."

Elaphia huffed, "He even refused my invitation, so he’s even less likely to cooperate with you."

"But, what I heard was that you had difficulty pulling him into the Order Flame Corps."

Lisya inexplicably laughed, and Blondie Douding’s expression became increasingly hard to maintain.

"I’m talking about cooperation, cooperation like when we used to hire the Celestial Group for help. The depths of the Demon Disaster Realm are so treacherous, it’s practically impossible to move without Spiritual Control techniques."

The vice-captain of the Order Investigation Corps seemed to think of the crisis faced and showed a slight hint of worry on her face.

"However, our funds are also tight, and we can’t offer much in return, so should I—"

"Don’t say the rest." Elaphia’s tone turned severe.

"Huh? Why can’t I say it? I was going to mention that I could offer Li Ang and his team some convenience of office under the guise of my position as vice-captain of the Order Investigation Corps, like allowing them to do bad things and then covering it up for them."

"Are you sure you should say that?" Li Ang found her words too many to address.

"This is, of course, a test. I am a high-ranking member of the Guild’s Order Enforcement, and I, Lisya Don, have always been impartial and hate evil."

The orange-haired girl straightened her hat embellished with feathers, suddenly displaying an air of police authority.

"If you agree, I’ll swiftly conduct an interrogation of you."

The orange-haired girl mimed a thrusting motion with a sword, and although she didn’t actually wield a Weapon or use Magic Power, Li Ang felt phantom pain as if pierced by a blade.

These top-tier talents of the Holy City seem approachable, yet none are easy to get along with.

He found the artisans of the Dome Furnace Association more straightforward. Li Ang thought. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of belonging toward the Dome Furnace.

"In any case, consider it. The depths of the Demon Disaster Realm might hold clues to achieving Legendary status."

Lisya left them with this thought-provoking statement before bidding farewell to the three and disappearing into the night.

Looking at the somewhat silent Elaphia, Li Ang asked, "What is this ’depth of the Demon Disaster Realm’ she mentioned?"

"The Order Investigation Corps specializes in this, always discovering unusual territories that previous people couldn’t understand. Less than a third of these places develop into islands of secret realms approved by the Guild for the Celestial Group to explore."

Elaphia said, "Some areas too strange and indescribable might indeed hold hints related to the Legendary Realm."

Li Ang hadn’t really heard such claims before.

Though the Celestial Groups are strong, the other Celestial Groups primarily fight within the uncharted territories marked by the Investigation Corps, trying to benefit themselves while also expanding the world’s usable islands, achieving great works and personal gains.

Perhaps only after the leaders of the top four Celestial Groups join the Knight Resolution Council will they receive this information from the Order Investigation Corps.

"Since you knew about this, aren’t you interested?" Li Ang asked.

"I’m a Blade Master, and I have my own path to advancement."

After saying this, she pondered for a moment, looking at Li Ang, with her eyes flickering, seemingly hesitant to speak.

It was rare to see her with such an expression, so Li Ang voluntarily asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Elaphia sighed, deliberating for a moment, and said:

"In truth, what I’ve always wanted your help with is regarding advancing to the Legendary."

"That’s great, I’d be happy to help."

Blondie Douding’s lips curled into a smile, yet a hint of worry lingered between her brows.

After an internal struggle between two conflicting emotions, she fell silent, as though harboring some difficult-to-express concern.
