… …

The January winter did not seem to have affected the seaside city in the least. The city in the eastern part of the Duchy seemed to live forever in the memories of summer, the white tower that pierced the clouds seemed endless, the people on the streets dressed in summer clothes and carrying popsicles were everywhere.

The tightly shut door on the street next to the sea gave off a feeling of isolation, making it seem especially quiet on this bustling shore. Although this was the most bustling street, on the fourth day of the new year, it was completely silent, so quiet that it was somewhat strange.

Dozens of students followed behind Liang Yue as they stood in front of this building that was brimming with a heavy sense of history. He narrowed his eyes at the few large words written on the stone monument and confirmed that this was the place he had come to this time.

The style of the west coast was completely different from that of the pure white Hetonmar. The architecture here was richer and more square, unlike Hetonmar, who was mainly domed.

Right now, he had also achieved his goal, but it was clearly not a particularly pleasant one. Although the scorching sun would not affect him, it was still very uncomfortable when he basked in the sun, and the folded fan in front of his tightly shut door allowed his fondness for this place to drop to the lowest level.

Even the gatehouse was empty.

This was already a large-scale transfer, so the West Coast should have received the news a long time ago. However, when they arrived, not only were there no guests, even the door was closed.

Although the Mage Academy here was the leading department, they looked down on the other departments too much.

"I'll ask over there!"

Some shops on the street were still open, but there were no pedestrians. After all, such a large group of people would be afraid if they saw one on the street.

Liang Yue felt somewhat bored. Seeing this tightly shut door, she immediately turned around and left.

"Let's go!"

Xi Yue was jogging towards the shop when she noticed that Liang Yue and the others were preparing to leave. She ran back to stop Liang Yue and said while gasping for breath, "It's not good to just leave like this!"

After all, he was not in the state to draw his sword, so it was normal for him to do this. Looking at Xiyue's blushing face, Liang Yue patted her shoulder and sincerely said, "You're still too young. This person is trying to intimidate us!"

"Show your prowess?" When Xiyue heard this, she had a face full of doubt, "What do you mean by 'show off'!"

"That's why you're too young!" Liang Yue pulled Xiyue's cheeks and lightly pulled. After laughing for a while, she walked towards the back.

Xiyue rubbed her face and turned around to look at the students who had already walked far away. Only then did she react and hurriedly chased after her, following by Liang Yue's side.

"Why are you like this!" With her short pink hair swaying, the young girl complained to Liang Yue in a low voice.

Liang Yue walked at the very front of the group, the corners of her mouth curling up into a smile. Afterwards, she rubbed her head.

"You're here again!" The young girl took Liang Yue's hand away.

"Sorry, sorry." Liang Yue smiled and apologized, "I couldn't help but want to touch your hair when I see it."

"Tell me about it the next time you touch it!" When Xi Yue heard Liang Yue's words, she said weakly with a blushing face.

"… …"

The group of 50 people was very large, so naturally, the residences they were looking for were scattered. Thus, the nine people beside him were following him. As he looked at the signboard in front of him, he clicked his tongue.

"Oh!" Xiyue pointed to the familiar signboard and said with some surprise, "There's actually a Moonlight Inn here!"

The appearance of the girl with short pink hair seemed to attract quite a few people walking around the tavern. Those people were dressed in strange clothing, and there was a symbol on them that looked like an empty bone fish.

When those people saw that Liang Yue and the others were wearing the uniform of a student they didn't recognize, they assumed that they had come from outside to the west coast to gain experience. When they saw that Xi Yue wanted to tease them, Liang Yue extended her arm and put it on Xi Yue's shoulder, saying, "Go in."

Liang Yue had not worn a mask for a long time, although it couldn't completely cover her face, the mask's effect was pretty good. After all, he had specifically found Anna to use some illusion magic, so other people's appearances were just ordinary masks.

"Welcome!" The receptionist at the door was as polite as ever. Liang Yue came to the counter.

In front of the counter was a middle-aged man who was wiping his wine cup. He raised his head and looked at Liang Yue and the others, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise.

"Are there any more rooms?" Liang Yue placed several tens of gold coins on the counter. The shop owner continued to wipe his wine cup as if he hadn't seen the gold coins. "The room still has some gold coins. You can pay me when you come out."

This was indeed the branch of the Moonlight Inn. The Moonlight Inn's main store had already become a high-end place for high-end consumption, but he used to be an adventurer who would often spar with others. However, the people in front of him were simply a mix of fish and dragons, local ruffians and low-level adventurers.

Occasionally, he could see those adventurers with blue badges. He sighed and then brought his companions to a relatively remote place in the tavern.

After ordering a few things and slowly tasting them, they found their surroundings to be out of place. The West Coast seemed to have some activities today, even in the afternoon there would be so many people drinking in the tavern. The tavern in the afternoon should be the loneliest place.

Xiyue didn't really care about this sort of situation. Sitting beside Liang Yue, she couldn't help but lean on her, and when the hoodlums in the tavern saw her weak appearance, their gazes gradually changed.

There were three other people at Liang Yue's table, three students from the Sword Arts Department, and they were also the top three students. They were Vito, Mulan, and Shirley, who were the only girls apart from Xi Yue among the ten people sitting by Liang Yue's side. At the same time, their families were also the hereditary aristocrats of Hetton Mar, and they were also high class beauties among the girls in the academy.

The students of the Sword Arts Department had never been afraid of things before. If someone stared at her like that, she would definitely counterattack. She stood up and pulled out her sword, yelling at those ruffians, "What are you all looking at? Have you never seen a woman before?"

But probably because she was wearing a uniform, those thugs didn't listen to her. Instead, they looked at her and laughed out loud.

"Little girl, to be so brave, shouldn't I have to fight with my brothers for a few rounds!?"

A man with a vulgar appearance pointed at her.

"The trash of society!"

Shirley looked at him and said coldly. Then, she was pulled down by Ma Leng and returned to her seat.
