"Has she already entered this territory?" Richard was both shocked and excited by Sister Lisa's words.
After all, Lilith's arrival meant he would obtain the 1000 Aether he desired.
"I don't know. Honestly, I'm confused why she didn't choose to come directly to this village," Sister Lisa replied.
Richard wasn't sure either, but wherever it was, it didn't matter to him.
He quickly prepared himself—taking a bath, eating, and putting on new clothes.
By evening, he set off toward Apple Town, alone.
He chose not to bring Sister Lisa because he felt freer when by himself.
Athena ran swiftly while carrying him, though she didn't reveal her form as a Primordial Beast with Royal Bloodline.
Thanks to her speed, the sun hadn't yet set when they arrived in Apple Town.
Richard was no longer impressed by this small town after spending several days in Night Valley City.
