When Nya was stared at by Lotus and her mental body almost collapsed, Nya's body trembled slightly, and her face turned pale. Soon, Amy and Stara, who were sitting on the sidelines, noticed Nia's abnormality, and couldn't care about missing their parting with Ophelia, so they gathered around Nia.

When she opened her eyes, Nia found that Amy and Starna were looking at her with concern.

"Nia, you were okay just now, why did your face suddenly become so bad?" Seeing that Nia opened her eyes, Amy and Stara asked eagerly.

"It just went wrong, but it's fine now." Nya said as she propped herself up.

In fact, even Nia herself didn't know much about the previous situation. After a brief explanation with the two of them, Nia walked in the direction of the airship's fence.

Looking down from the edge of the ship, sure enough, just like the mercenaries cheered before, the coastline of the mainland was already clearly visible.

Ten minutes later, in a relatively secluded position, the airship slowly landed, and the mercenaries who had been transported before were also waiting here.

The airship came to a halt on the shore, and everyone on board walked down.

Marcel didn't get off the ship, and said goodbye to Nia and the others on the ground, and the airship accelerated and headed off into the air.

The location where the airship docked was relatively remote, and it was not early at this time, and everyone's top priority was to find a place to settle first. Along the way, the group soon found a small village that was relatively close.

After asking the villagers in the village, Nia learned that there were about six days left before the start of school, and that the location was not too far from Einhard College. Although there was still some time, the three of them were not enough to travel far away, and after discussion, the three of Nia decided to return to school early.

After staying overnight, the mercenaries took their farewell to Nia the next morning. Although it was not the mercenaries' intention to go to the Celestial Veil, they were well paid for that incident. Therefore, the mercenaries said that there was not much to regret.

After bidding farewell to the mercenaries, the three Nia also embarked on the road back.

——————

This is the city of Ivar, which is about a day's journey from the west coast, and it is also a relatively prosperous city near the west coast. After leaving the small village, the trio of Nia stopped here because they needed to stock up on some supplies.

Unlike the coastal port cities on the west coast, Nia found a lot of things in this land city that she rarely found in Einhard. Thinking that she didn't enter the city because she was in a hurry to go to Einhard to enroll, this time, Nia decided to take a good look here.

The city's streets are bustling with pedestrians and vendors hawking along the streets, and while the prosperity of the city is dwarfed by that of the financial centers of the West Coast, it has a different style.

On both sides of the street are neatly arranged houses, with uniform red and white walls intertwined, giving a neat and quaint feeling at a glance.

However, there is an eerie atmosphere that makes Nia feel uncomfortable.

Almost all the vendors and residents of the city have extremely dark eyes, and even if they smile, most of them are professional.

There is no warm greeting from the neighbors, and there is no laughter and playfulness of the children. If it weren't for the dense crowds on the streets in front of her, Nia would have felt like a dead city.

Faced with the reasons for the current situation, Nia can more or less guess something. It's nothing more than the lord of the city in charge of this place, or some nobles who have exercised some high-pressure control methods. Although she knew this, she didn't want to get involved.

Being able to take charge of a city, most of these city lords have a certain say in the royal capital, even if the city in front of them is far from a prosperous city, the city lord of the city is at least related to some of the big names in the royal capital.

Or, the lord of this city is a strong man who has reached the fifth order, because in Hutton Marr, all strong people who have reached the fifth order will be given noble status and allocated a small fief as a bargaining chip, and some of them who have no hope of being promoted to the sixth order will choose to become the city lord.

But no matter which of the above is the case, if it can't be dealt with, Nia will inevitably get herself into a lot of trouble if she wants to intervene.

However, glancing at Amy and Starna, who were walking beside her, Nia sighed. From the obvious indignant expressions on their faces, Nia knew what they were thinking.

'Now is not the time to be a hero......,' she figured to herself, and Nia planned to wait until the hotel to explain the pros and cons to the two.

However, the first task of several people at present is to replenish supplies.

Anyway, you can still see the dark elf race here. Along the way, Nia accidentally noticed a dark elf wrapped in a cloak in the crowd, and recognized the identity of the other party from the skin color of the other party's neck.

In Nia's understanding, because most of the dark elves do not have much affection for humans, this race generally only haunts the vicinity of the dark city, and it is really rare for the dark elves to appear in human cities like now.

Knocking her head, Nia threw her thoughts out of her mind. Maybe it's just that she's lonely, she remembers that Saran is also a dark elf race, and in that case, it's not uncommon for a dark elf to appear here. After all, according to the geographical location, this is closer to the Dark City where the dark elves gather than Einhard, although the difference between the two is not far away.

Walk into a random food store, and the owner inside is a middle-aged man in his fifties. Seeing Nia and her party walk in, the shopkeeper immediately greeted her with a professional smile.

"How much bread sells here." Although the smile was too fake to be recognizable at a glance, Nia asked patiently.

"Each loaf of bread sells for 10 silver coins. In addition, we have some jam here that is perfect for adding to bread, a bottle of jam costs only 40 silver coins, would you like to take some too? ”

"Well, it's nice to have jam. That's it, please give me two bottles of jam with bread. Nia pulled three gold coins out of her pocket and placed them on the counter.

"This amount, with all due respect, is a few young ladies travelers?" The shopkeeper looked at the three of them with some hesitation.

"That's true, we just passed through here today."

"Hey...... Even if I talk too much, this city is not peaceful now, and if the young ladies have nothing else important, it is best to leave here today. After a moment of silence, the shopkeeper said.

"Thanks for the reminder, but is it really okay for you to wear such a thin winter uncle?"

"It's okay, I'm old, frost-resistant."

At this time, the temperature outside was close to freezing, but the uncle was wearing only a sweater with patches sewn. Even though it's indoors, it's impossible to feel nothing in winter.

As he spoke, the shopkeeper had already packed the bread and jam and put them on the counter.

"Murder!" Just then, a shout came from outside the food store.
