"Are you Lady Aeliana’s friend?" Vulre asked in surprise.
He imagined that the friend this Slime was referring to was an ordinary common elf who happened to wander through the forest and met this fascinating creature, not that she was "THE" Lady Aeliana.
"She’s Lia’s friend?!" This time, it wasn’t Elara, who had also heard the explanation, who asked in shock, but the little white-haired girl, who looked at the white fox with even brighter eyes, not knowing that it was the slime who was "speaking."
Lohan noticed the nickname the girl used to refer to Aeliana and felt confident, but he also paid attention to these children, surprised by the calm and tranquility they were showing, despite having just witnessed a brutal and bloody fight between people who probably wanted to harm them.
But it was not his place to judge how someone dealt with difficult situations, so he just answered Vulre’s question, using as much detail as possible from the conversations he had had with Aeliana to lend credibility.
And Lisa was smart, realizing that the child had a favorable opinion of Halon’s elf friend, she extended the mental link so that the children could also hear what they were saying.
"Yes, we haven’t been friends for long, but we’ve known each other for a few days. She’s already told me some stories about her teacher and the endless homework she had to do," Lohan explained.
Hearing a calm and beautiful male voice in her mind, the little girl was only slightly surprised before bursting out laughing. "Hahaha, Lia really hates Aunt Yrneha’s lessons!!"
She received nods of agreement from her brother beside her, who was also not very surprised by the voice in his mind.
Vulre and Elara nodded when they heard that, confirming through these details that this Slime really seemed to know Lady Aeliana.
This made them lower their guard a little more, although they did not change their protective attitude towards the children.
But this attitude did not bother the two ’monsters’.
"How nice that we were helped by acquaintances. I apologize for the rush, but we need to take these children back to Thalendor urgently. Don’t worry, this debt of gratitude will be repaid... but how can we contact you?" Vulre spoke politely, displaying the manners of a refined butler.
Combined with the beautiful appearance of the elves, even acting as a butler, Vulre seemed more elegant than most human nobles.
Lohan and Lisa looked at each other, noticing the positive surprise in each other’s eyes, and Lohan replied. "How about you contact me through Aeliana? Last time she wanted to show me Thalendor, but because I’m a Slime, she was afraid that I wouldn’t be allowed in." Lohan spoke in a slightly regretful voice.
This was perfect for Vulre, as he could not only prove this Slime’s relationship with Lady Aeliana, but also repay part of the favor that had been done to them now.
Although he did not have much physical power or talent for magic, Vulre had enough power to handle a small situation like this in Thalendor, as well as win the goodwill of a Spirit Fox’s friend!
"Don’t worry, just for the intellectual level you have shown us, approval to enter Thalendor would already be guaranteed, this will be quickly resolved. As for compensation for the help you gave us in battle, I will give you an answer as soon as possible through Lady Aeliana." Vulre replied respectfully.
Elara also gave a polite greeting to Lohan and Lisa before dragging away the two children who had started to complain.
-xXx-
Seeing them walk away, Lohan didn’t worry about being deceived.
Even if they had no real power in Thalendor, just the human bodies they left behind would be a great reward for Lohan, who was curious to know what he would gain by digesting them.
Without hesitation, he moved toward the Wizard’s body, which was closest to him, and enveloped his head with the blue jelly.
In a few moments, the man’s skin began to bubble.
Lisa looked at that scene without caring. Even though it seemed grotesque to a normal person, she just looked at it with curiosity before sitting on her hind legs and looking at Lohan curiously.
"It was a good move to bring up the name of an acquaintance in the conversation, Halon. Their hostility towards us decreased considerably after you said that." She commented with approval in her voice, looking at the little Slime with a slight trace of curiosity.
From what she had seen of this Player so far, he had shown himself to be someone possibly from the Lower Zone, someone who was lucky enough to get a Mythical Race, but who intellectually had shown nothing more than a normal person.
He had a temper, was a little proud, and despite knowing nothing about Elysium, he showed a high adaptability to various situations.
In her view, Halon initially had great potential to be a powerful Player in the future, and that was what she valued in him, but realizing the subtleties of how he acted, it seemed that he had more potential than what she had seen?
Lohan looked at Lisa as he digested the wizard’s face, although she didn’t know he was looking at her, and replied casually. "That’s just the basics of human interaction. When talking to someone from a different place or culture, saying that you already know someone like them will naturally raise their impression of you."
Lisa nodded. She already knew this from the family training she had to go through, but most people her age that she knew were too stupid to understand even something so basic.
And considering that the people her age she had contact with were mostly heirs to medium to giant companies in the Upper Zone, if Lohan knew he was being compared to those people, he would roll his eyes.
The two talked a little more as digestion continued, but in a few minutes a message popped up in front of Lohan!
