Chapter 217: Unique Power Systems (2/2)

”Elys, I've brought your brats. Hurry up and scram out here.”

Leonel looked up to find that they had already long since enter Camelot. Not only had they entered, but they had gone as deep as the third city section.

Camelot had five walls and five gates. The most outer wall open to a section known as the outer city, the second gate led to the upper outer city, and the third, where they were now, was known as the inner city.

Beyond that, the fourth gate led to the noble city and the fifth led to the true core of Camelot.

Of course, these were just colloquial names. Officially, all of these cities were collectively known as Camelot. If one could live here, they were already the cream of the crop. But, where people could have divisions amongst each other, they would…

Currently, Leonel and the group of youths had been led to the inner city and were now before the doors of a small shop. Compared to the large buildings all around, it seemed out of place. Through the windows, it was possible to see bookshelves that covered the whole shop. It was to the point that books that couldn't find a place were strewn about wildly.

At that moment, a woman wearing dark blue mage robes and a pointed hat that seemed to big for her head pushed her way out and faced the youths and the knight.

”Them?”

The woman frowned. Or rather, Leonel thought she did. It was a bit hard to see her face through her drooping hat.

”These are the brats the captains picked. If you want to blame someone, blame them. If it wasn't because I lost that bet, do you think I would have picked them up for you?”

Elys waved her hand that looked surprisingly fair. At this point, Leonel was expecting an old hag. If it wasn't for the barely noticeable curves and her voice, he wouldn't have been able to tell she was a woman at all.

”Alright, I've done my part. Now, you five. Follow me.”

Leonel saw a barely perceptible flicker of excitement in the knight's eyes when he said these words. Causing him to be confused.

It seemed Elys noticed this as well and looked up curiously. She was likely quite familiar with this knight and wanted to know what could excite him. But, Leonel would have never expected her eyes to land on him.

Well… He thought it landed on him. Her body seemed to be pointed in his direction. It was simply too difficult to catch a glimpse of her face.

Suddenly, her body trembled violently as though she could fall over at any moment.

”Jarin! Are you trying to steal talents from me?! Do you believe I won't blast you into ash right now?!”

The knight who had been ready to take them away looked toward Elys with an incredulous expression.

When he saw where Elys was looking, he protected Leonel to his back.

”Don't you dare, old witch. This is my future general!”
