A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047: Chapter 721: The Summit of the World Chapter 1047: Chapter 721: The Summit of the World Regarding Tione, Duanmu Huai was not very familiar with her. In fact, he had only seen her once when she was summoned, and his impression at that time was that the girl seemed quite feeble, and she certainly didn't look like someone who would bear the title of “Dancing Blade.”

After all, that title… well, you'd think it must belong to something like a berserker, right?

At the very least, it wouldn't be a girl who, looking meek in a dress, barely speaks at all.

And it seemed that was indeed the case.

“Lady Tione, the Lord is looking for you.”

“Ah…! Please, please wait a moment!”

Hearing the report from the swordsmanship instructor outside, a faint cry came from behind the door, followed by the sound of clanging and crashing as if the house was being torn apart. After a moment, the tightly closed door cracked open, and Tione's head sheepishly poked out.

“Hello, Lord, may I ask what you need?”

“What are you doing?”

Duanmu Huai couldn't help but ask in confusion at the sight of Tione, her entire body covered in dust, as if she had just taken a tumble.

“Ah, I, I was cleaning up…”

“Cleaning? Now?”

At Tione's response, Duanmu Huai was dumbfounded and proceeded to push the door open wider to peek inside–afterward, he was left speechless.

The room was cluttered with assorted items, books, notes, and reports were strewn everywhere, creating a chaotic mess.

“Can someone even live in this room?”

“No, no problem!”

At Duanmu Huai's question, Tione quickly responded.

“I know where everything is, so it's fine!”

That excuse sounded all too familiar… But now wasn't the time to sweat the small stuff.

“Get ready, we need to go out for search and battle.”

“Battle? Should we gather the soldiers…”

“No, just you will do, fewer people makes it more convenient.”

Duanmu Huai shook his head; if the enemy truly had a large army of Untouchables, more people on his side would actually make things more difficult. It might be better to take just a few and go for a direct strike.

“I understand.”

Tione nodded and then looked at the swordsmanship instructor standing beside her.

“Then carry on with the training as normal, we'll discuss other matters when I return.”

As she spoke, Tione patted the dust off herself, straightened the two swords at her waist, and faced Duanmu Huai.

“I am ready now, my Lord, and can depart anytime!”

“…You're going like this?”

“Is there a problem?”

“At least wash your face…”

Seeing the smudges on her face like a kitten's whiskers, Duanmu Huai sighed resignedly. She touched her face, as if just realizing, and with a scream, hurried back into her room, slamming the door shut.

“…Is she really okay?”

Duanmu Huai asked the swordsmanship instructor beside him doubtfully. To be honest, Tione felt completely unreliable to him from everything he had seen… How could such a person manage the military affairs of a territory?

Although Mistelina didn't report any problems, there shouldn't be any…

“Please rest assured, Lord, while Sister Tione may be a bit absent-minded in daily life, she is always conscientious in her official duties!”

“…I hope so.”

What else could Duanmu Huai say? He just had to go with it.

Starting an adventure in this world is indeed difficult.

It was like the time Duanmu Huai and his companions were in Neverwinter City and wanted to go to Heim Fortress; the difficulty was essentially akin to traversing mountains and fording streams. That's one of the reasons adventurers receive such respect: facing enemies, venturing into uninhabited forests, swamps, and dangerous volcanoes–success aside, the lengthy journey alone is enough to daunt most people.

If it were a game, for players, the most troublesome part would be the random monsters and enemies encountered on the road, but for real-life adventurers, losing their way, lacking food and water sources are their biggest issues.

Fortunately for Duanmu Huai, he didn't have to worry about such problems.

“Turn right from here…”

Mary watched the Lost Soul beside her and whispered, steering the Thunder Falcon Aircraft to gradually change course and continue onward.

If it were an ordinary adventure, Duanmu Huai and his companions would likely form a team and head north, then investigate various clues, track, and find the elusive Supreme True God.

But Duanmu Huai couldn't be bothered to waste time; he had a better method.

That was to bring a Lost Soul onto the aircraft and have Mary keep an eye on the shadow of that Lost Soul–according to Mary, the shadows of these Lost Souls all have lines connected to a distant place. Although the exact location is unseen, the direction of these lines can be used to determine the general position.

That's right, it's like the quest plugin in an MMORPG–take the quest, follow the directive arrow given by the plugin to the location, and that's it. Why all the fuss if you're not using Golden Pupil, such a handy plugin, when you have it? It would be foolish to meander needlessly, wouldn't it?
