First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Neruthal

As they strolled down the final market street, a group of adventurers passed by in battered armor, bloodstains and all. They looked at Edgar and paused some distance away before quickly changing their direction.

One of them seemed to murmur something along the lines of "Why is this butcher here?"

Orion raised an eye looking at the running group. "You knew them?" he asked.

Edgar stroked his beard, "Hmm, they might be my admirers when I was young. They probably got shy and ran away."

Orion rolled his eyes at him but didn’t pry further. Helena shook her head as she knew how famous he was in his younger years and what reputation he had.

They finally ended up in front of a small noodle stall where hearty aroma wafted out.

"You kids hungry?" Edgar asked.

"I could eat," Rina said.

Fiora shyly nodded.

"Then sit," Helena smiled softly. "My treat."

They ordered five bowls of piping hot mana-infused noodles. The broth was rich, the meat tender, and the spice just enough to make the girls sweat slightly.

While Orion, with his half-Draconic body, gulped down all the noodles while asking for more. "Okay, I’m officially a fan of this place," he mumbled between bites.

Fiora smiled, gently wiping a bit of soup from the corner of his mouth with her sleeve, only to freeze after realizing what she had done.

Rina blinked, stared for a moment, then looked away. "...Hmph."

Orion just kept slurping the noodles, pretending not to notice anything.

By the time they finished and started heading back, the stars had come out and the city had taken on a calmer charm. Lanterns floated in the sky, magic ones, slowly drifting over the buildings like fireflies to illuminate the darkness.

"...This was kinda nice," Orion quietly said.

"You’ll miss this freedom once we reach the academy," Edgar said, hands behind his back.

"I know," he replied, looking up at the floating lights. "That’s why I’m enjoying every second."

Helena shook her head. "Stop trying to scare Young Master, we are not enlisting him in the Kingdom’s army."

The group laughed while heading back towards the inn.

Soon, they reached the inn. Entering inside, they saw Eldric and Selene sitting at a table, talking.

Eldric noticed their arrival and smiled. "Took you lot long enough. Have you had your fun?"

"Of course," Orion smiled and came in front of him. "This city is really something, but it’s a pity I couldn’t find what I was looking for." He shook his head with pity.

Eldric raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You didn’t find it here? What is it?"

Selene also turned towards him, wondering the same thing.

Rina turned her face to the side. "Probably Elves or Fox girls."

Eldric laughed out loud just as he heard that. "Hahahaha, so it was just that? Elves are reclusive by nature. And you won’t find Fox People easily since each and every one of them is a master at illusion and charm magic. You probably met a few but didn’t recognize them."

Orion still shook his head. "I don’t think there are any Fox people in this city."
