Chapter 474 Elves Again (1)
The moment that he saw these ears, he immediately thought of something that had happened in the past.
When he had still been in Sunset City, he had met someone that he couldn't forget because it was someone that he was very excited about meeting.
So after being dazed, Lin Fan looked carefully at the face of this individual in front of him.
It didn't take him long to recognize her and he asked, "Flora?"
The elven girl immediately gave a nod before saying, "You do remember me! It really has been a long time!"
Since she had confirmed her identity, there was no reason for Lin Fan to hold back anymore.
After all, there were feelings of gratitude towards her in his heart.
Back then, she had given him something very special that had helped him save Tian Tian's life. If it wasn't for the World Tree's Leaf that she gave him, then he never would have grown that World Tree in his Pet Storage Space and saved Tian Tian.
So there was nothing but positive feelings towards her in his heart.
Lin Fan gave a nod and said with a smile, "It really has been a long time. What are you doing here?"
The other cloaked figure that was behind Flora pulled on her cloak as if she wanted to stop her from talking, but Flora just completely ignored that cloaked figure.
She looked at Lin Fan with a smile and said, "We came here because we heard that there was a dungeon here."
When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help slightly knitting his brows before asking, "I never thought that you would be interested in the dungeon. Why did you come all the way here just to see the dungeon?"
Flora said with the same smile, "Well, it's not everyday that you see a dungeon on this continent. After all, dungeons are more commonly seen on the magic continent than this cultivation continent."
Lin Fan once again slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but then he said, "Oh, so you've seen other dungeons before?"
Once again, the cloaked figure behind Flora tried pulling on her cloak to stop her, but Flora just didn't stop.
Flora tilted her head to think about it before saying, "I haven't been to that many. I've been to a few, but they were just too weak for me to…"
Before she could finish, she suddenly gave a shiver.
That was because the other cloaked figure behind her had given up on trying to use subtle methods to stop her since she knew that it wouldn't work.
There was a blue glow that was coming from her hand as she used some form of ice spell on Flora.
Flora finally had no choice but to pay attention to this other cloaked figure and when she felt the pressure coming from her, she had no choice but to close her mouth.
But Lin Fan had been carefully watching everything.
He had already gotten quite a bit of information from Flora's casual words and he had also learned quite a bit using his Appraisal Eyes.
The magic that the other cloaked figure used, it was apparently intermediate class magic.
According to the Appraisal Eyes, this was magic that could only be used by those that had an intermediate magic class.
So there was no doubt that this cloaked figure behind Flora wasn't weak. At the same time, since she was following Flora, that meant that Flora herself wasn't weak.
He was just worried about what she was really doing in his Dungeon City.
Still, for now, it didn't seem like she was planning on doing anything and he did want to become friends with her, so he said, "How about we chat while we eat?" As he said this, he pointed at the two seats beside him.
Flora was about to give a nod, but the other cloaked figure said, "I'm sorry, we have other business to take care of first. If we are fated, perhaps we will meet each other again."
Without giving Flora a chance to say anything, the other cloaked figure pushed the cloak back onto her head and pulled her out.
In the end, Flora just let herself be dragged out as she waved goodbye to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan just waved back with an amused smile on his face.
Once they were gone, he started thinking about all the things that he had figured out when he had been with them.
But in the end, he shook his head and forgot about all of this.
After all, there was no reason for him to think that deeply about this.
They were here for their own business and unless it interfered with his own, there was no reason for him to get involved.
So he just turned his attention back to his food and enjoyed his lunch.
After his lunch, Lin Fan headed to the city hall to see if there was anything he could help with.
Now that Yue Lan and Ming Xin had put the perfect system in place, there really wasn't much for him to do. So even if he wanted to help, there wasn't a place for him to do anything.
The only thing that he could do was wander around the town and see if there was anything he needed to do.
That and provide moral support for the girls while they worked hard.
When he arrived at city hall, he couldn't help being drawn by the raised voices in the distance.
"What do you mean we can't submit this form here?"
For some reason, he couldn't help feeling that this voice was familiar.
When he walked over, he realized why he thought these voices were familiar.
It was the two cloaked figures that he had seen before.
The one that was currently shouting was the other cloaked figure who had remained hidden the entire time. Flora was just standing there on the side with an awkward look to her, as if she was uncomfortable with this whole situation.
At the same time, Lin Fan could see that the clerk that was being yelled at by this cloaked figure was in an awkward situation as well.
It seemed that whatever issue was being brought up, she wasn't able to solve.
Since he was technically the one that was in charge here, it should be up to him to take care of it.
So Lin Fan walked over and said, "Is there a problem here?"
When they heard his voice, they immediately turned to look at him.
Then the smaller cloaked figure pointed at Lin Fan and said, "What are you doing here? Are you following us around?"
Flora had wanted to stop her, but it was already too late for her to stop her.
So all she could do was lower her head and pretend that she didn't hear anything.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at her before saying, "I'm the city lord, so anything you have comes to me in the end. Is there a problem with me being here?"
When he said this, he could feel the looks that fell onto me from the people around us.
But he ignored them all as he focused on the two cloaked figures in front of him.
When they heard what he said, they both looked up at him in silence before the smaller cloaked figure asked, "You're the city lord?"
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod before saying, "Now, what is the problem?"
The cloaked figure was about to say something, but then Flora came forward to grab her sleeve to stop her.
The cloaked figure turned around to find Flora shaking her head at her and pulling her back. Then Flora came forward to say, "We're sorry about the commotion that we caused." As she said this, she even bowed her head in apology.
Seeing this, Lin Fan relaxed his gaze a bit before saying, "Alright, I'm sure that everyone just got a bit heated and we can solve this problem by talking it through."
He turned to look at the clerk and asked, "What's the problem?"
The clerk revealed an awkward look since Lin Fan was the one that was in front of her.
She was someone that had undergone Yue Lan's training, so it was impossible for her not to recognize Lin Fan. At the same time, she had also received the special training, so…she couldn't help feeling embarrassed seeing him like this.
But after giving a cough, she said, "These two wanted to enter the dungeon, but they didn't want to give any proof of identity. I told them that it was necessary for them to give this proof of identity before receiving the license to enter the dungeon."
Lin Fan turned to look at the two of them before saying, "This is indeed the rules and we can't make an exception for you."
The smaller cloaked figure was about to say something, but Flora grabbed her head and pulled her back before asking, "Can we ask you to make an exception since you are the city lord?"
Lin Fan shook his head before saying, "I can't make any exceptions for this, this a matter of security. It isn't just the security of our city that we need to consider, but also the security of the others entering the dungeon. If we allow those with unknown identities to enter the dungeon, who knows what will happen?"
Both Flora and the cloaked figure were silent since there was nothing that they could say in response to this.
After all, this was a perfectly reasonable argument.
