416 Elven Kingdom (1/2)

Yale was a bit surprised by Lina's sudden hug, but he attributed it to the happiness she felt after having closed the deal.

It was normal to be happy after closing that kind of deal as long as one liked training to turn stronger, so Lina's behavior wasn't too weird from Yale's point of view.

Moreover, since both of them were used to be close to each other and were faking a relationship, Yale didn't care about it too much.

Anyway, Yale didn't dislike being hugged by Lina especially if no one saw them. After all, since they were quite friendly to each other as long no one saw them, they wouldn't feel too embarrassed.

”Sorry, I was too excited.”

Lina stopped hugging Yale when she said those words, but she noticed that Yale didn't care at all, which made her happy.

Although usually the deal they made was usually only done by couples, there wasn't any rule that forced them to be a real couple to do it. It was just that since both parties should have similar power for the exchange to be effective and also required great trust, it was difficult to do it with someone who wasn't a lover.

Using such a method with someone far weaker would be bad for the one with less power. After all, it wasn't good for the development of the soul obtaining everything without any hardship.

Thus, it wasn't usual that siblings or parents taught everything directly, which led everyone to consider that it was only done by couples.

Of course, Yale knew about that, but he didn't care at all about what the others thought, and since everyone should think that they were a couple, there wouldn't be a problem even if he cared.

In fact, Yale's opinion of Lina improved a lot after he saw how much Ange liked Lina. Since Yale recovered his memories, he had been feeling guilty about Ange, so he was happy that Ange found a motherly figure.

Yale didn't think that Lina had any romantic interest on him, but even if she had, he wouldn't be too annoyed by it like before. Although Yale wasn't in love with Lina nor anyone else at that moment, at least he had a better impression of Lina compared to the impression he had of other girls.

There were a lot of beautiful and powerful women in the universe, but it couldn't be the same of women that Ange liked enough to consider her mother despite not having any relationship.

Yale cared a lot about his family, and the happiness of his daughter was one of his priorities, so the fact of being liked by Ange was a critical factor on how Yale evaluated women.

They didn't speak more about the teaching topic as they still wanted to rescue the rest of people first. The teaching exchange wouldn't be quick at all, so it was better to solve the urgent matters first.

Since Yale didn't plan to bother too much with Ronragruk as he seemed to have settled with the Dragon Race in a new location and lived happily there, his main target was the other group.

He wanted to visit Ronragruk later to speak with him and announce everyone that he was also protecting the Dragon Race as he did on the Dwarf Kingdom, but there wasn't too much urge in doing it.

The other group of people was living in the capital of the Elven Kingdom, and they seemed to live very well.

The whole capital had a barrier to block the Spiritual Sense, so Yale was unable to find them previously, but at that moment such barrier couldn't block him at all, so he could see Nurvey, Mercer, Kaigur, and Merumi attending the Elven University. Nurvey even seemed to be a teacher instead of a student.

The two wolves were also in the capital and lived as the pets of the group. Although they were considered pets, they were strong, so no one had weird ideas about robbing them.

The Elves had a reputation of being quite racist, but they seemed to treat them very well, which didn't match with their reputation.

However, besides their group, the rest of the capital were all elves, so Yale believed that there was some truth behind the fame of the elves.

Yale and Lina spoke about it while reaching the Elven Kingdom and reached the conclusion that the Elven Kingdom discovered their background and didn't dare to be disrespectful with them.
