  “Poor Lilian, but she must have met someht, that’s why her memory is survived by Beatrid her daughter Twy,” Yvlena said, while it was sad to learn that bit of lore about Lilian she didn’t find much except the remark about Lilian’s alchemical prowess.

  “Great, sort of a dead end isn’t it, I already knew she was troversial because she was a dark summoner, Bavga said so,” Yvlena sighed. “I mean I guess I learned something, even if it was quite sad,”

  She slotted the book bato its spot and sighed deeply. The library was helpful but a majority of the information was locked away. It would be a while before she could rebuild the manor enough to access the library.

  “With Bavga’s fondness, I guessed she would be an alchemist of some sort, I wonder if Risel met her. She’s an elf after all, they might be young looking but really I’m sure she’s older tharice or even...Bavga,” Yvlena made a face, grimag at the thought of a hag-like Risel.

  It didn’t suit the cheerful elf to be so glum.

  Yvlehe area and walked down to the first floor where Laurent worked on being a good librarian to the establishment's other patrons.

  “Were you able to find anything Yvlena?” Laurent asked.

  “Not much but that was to be expected, I did get quite a fright down in the basement,” Yvlena said.

  “Oh, you must have met Dominique,” Laurent said, his expression turning sour. He pursed his lips and took off his gsses to rub his eyes. “Apologies, people don’t visit the archives as often,”

  ‘’t imagine why,’ Yvlena thought sarcastically.

  “Oh it’s fine I suppose, she didn’t bother me much at all,” Yvlena said trying to ugh off the strange enter, the NPCs of the game tio have strange personalities.

  “There’s something I would like to talk to you about ter,” Laurent said.

  “Oh? When you’re ready then Laurent,” Yvlena said, making to leave the library through the frorance wheiced the figure of an adventurer heading her way.

  Dyn walked through the door looking around at the happenings of the library.

  “Yvlena, there you are,” Dyn said, setting his eyes on her and approag the front desk where Laurent and Yvlena stood talking.

  “Dyn, I take it you’re ready for our quest. I’m sorry I couldn’t meet you at the gates. I was occupied here looking for some old dots,” Yvlena said.

  “It’s no problem, I know you’re busy most of the time,” He said.

  Laurent lifted a brow in fusion, he looked between Yvlena and the young man standing before him then spoke.

  “What’s this about a quest?”

  “I’m esc Dyn to the outpost to pay respects to his father’s grave,” Yvlena expined. “It’s too dangerous for him to go on his own after all, the area is crawling with all sorts of enemies, especially those wild boars,”

  “Very well, but I do have a favor to ask. Could y me bae boar meat if you enter any, it’s been a long time siasted the suct pork of a Forest Boar,” Laurent said.

  [Quest: Laurent’s Dinner

  Laurent the Librarian needs your help fetg meat from the boars that dwell in Bloom Haven’s Forest, two Boars should be enough to satisfy his cravings.

  “Of course, it’s no problem, Laurent. I’ll get it to you as soon as I ,” Yvlena said.

  Laurent fshed her a smile, one of the few Yvlena had seen from the blonde librarian. He waved her off as she left, marking the start of her quest with Dyn.

  “Are you sure you handle a Forest Boar Yvlena? I know you’re pretty strong but they’re quite tough too,” Dyn asked as they walked back to the town’s main gate.

  “They’re not as tough as the Sadile or even the Spiders in the Verdant Woods,” Yvlena said with a casual shrug.

  “Y-You’ve fought those creepy spiders?!” Dyn stuttered, he paled at the thought of going up against the creepy araids and their g mandibles. The thought of such beasts made a shiver run up his spine.

  “Yeah, and I won too, though getting poisoned was nasty work. So you better be careful if you think about heading towards that area,” Yvlena cautioned.

  “Yeah,” Dyn said, his footsteps slowed and soon he was trailing behind her with his head hanging sadly.

  Yvlena turned around, notig his downcast expression as he walked with less pep in his step. She wondered what with him, only a moment ago he was animated and now he was anxious and quiet.

  “What’s the matter?”

  “Well it’s just, I don’t think I’ll ever get as strong as you Yvlena, you’re fighting Spiders and S creatures when I barely take on a Horned Rabbit,”

  “Evangels wasn’t built in a day,” Yvlena said.

  “Huh?”

  Yvlena realized he would not uand the expression as Evangels was not a p Moon Valley. A lot of real world expressions would be lost on fial characters. Even thought it pained Yvlena to think of them as such.

  “It means I didn’t get that strong ht, you haven’t been adventuring long so what makes you think you’ll have the same skill level as someone who’s do longer?” Yvlena said.

  “That’s true, but I want to help Mom and Iris out! Beatrice too,”

  “And you will in time. You don’t rush things like this, you could die if you aren’t careful,” Yvlena said lifting a finger in warning. “Got it?” she asked, jabbing a finger in his chest with severity.

  Dyn nodded gravely, taking her warning seriously but Yvlehis would not be the end of the versation.

  She turned around and tinued leading the way, keeping Dyn at the back of her mind. This would be her first escort quest and it would be good practice for when she o take Risel through the Verdant Woods.

  ‘I don’t think Risel will give me much trouble and she’s an alchemist so I t oo have extra potions on hand,’ Yvlena thought.

  Dyn was young and probably hot headed, he would want to try to test his strength.

  Yvlena only hoped it wouldn’t cost him too much, she didn’t want him to get hurt. The young man had grown on her and she would do what she could for him.
