Chapter 133: Mystical Spirit Forest (1/2)

”Thanks for helping me, brothers and sisters,” Elliot said, feeling good to have so many people helping him.

”If it's fated, we shall meet again.” He said his goodbyes and was ready to turn off the communication pathway, but something happened that made him stop.

Just as he was about to chant the words to close the communication pathways, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

”Honorable Lord, can you tell me when are you going to visit the artifact gallery?” Lady Florence Love said.

”I'm in a world of sword and magic, light years away from planet Xavier, so it will take a month or so for me to do what I am here to do and return. But once I do, I will make sure to notify you, Lady Florence Love.” Elliot said in a voice far gentler than before.

”Umm, do I know you?” Lady Florence asked as she looked at him with eyes that showed that she was a bit taken aback.

'Of course, she doesn't know that I am Elliot and not Mr. Joker.'

Everyone saw Mr. Joker's lips thinning into a smile, and they wondered if he has some kind of relationship with her.

While they were assuming things on their own, Elliot said, ”You don't know me, but I heard about you from my dear student. He said a lot of good things about you, and after meeting you here, I believe that you are truly kind.”

Lady Florence's eyes brightened as she finally understood why he had been acting friendly towards her. It's all because she acted righteously and helped his student, which led to him putting good words for her in Mr. Joker's ears. That's what she thought. She didn't know that the person she helped was Mr. Joker and also Elliot.

He couldn't clarify it, either.

He knew that if he did that without using a magic contract or without having enough strength to fend off extremely powerful magicians, then he might lose his freedom and get locked in a dungeon where appraising items would be the only thing he could do.

”Honorable Lord, praise me too much. I just did what any other person who can't unjustice would do.” Lady Florence humbly replied.

In front of someone like Mr. Joker, who was famous for being the uprising and heaven-defying appraiser of this century, even she needed to lower her head.

Elliot thought that she thinks too little of herself but didn't say it outright. He stayed silent for a couple of seconds before saying, ”I think we will see each other soon.”

Right after saying those words, he raised his hands and brought them closer to each other. Muttering some words that were barely audible while pressing the forefingers of both hands against each other, he executed the way of closing magic contracts, which resulted in the closing of all the communication pathways.

After effectively ending the chat, he stood up, brushed off the numbness in his legs from a few press here and a few there, and then walked up to the copper statue.

His loyal bodyguards followed after him.

”I'm ready to go to the next trial. Open the portal for me.” Elliot said while looking at it.

”The next trial area duplicates some low-level disastrous zones of the Spirit World. You can visit any one of them.
