Capítulo 73: Chapter 73: Questions About Learning Magic

Hilda quickly returned, wearing a set of exquisite light armor, her naturally scattered golden hair tied back into a high ponytail, giving her a heroic and energetic appearance.

"Let's go!" Hilda said eagerly, seeming a bit impatient.

Fyodor nodded and directly activated the teleportation array. In an instant, the two of them disappeared from the office and reappeared at the academy's teleportation plaza.

Here, they could directly teleport to a wilderness teleportation point only ten kilometers away from the Nofaklason Forest. Since the academy's teleportation arrays were free to use, Fyodor didn't mind.

At this time, Fyodor noticed that the students around them were starting to move.

"Is class over now?" Fyodor asked.

"Yeah, just finished," Hilda nodded.

Fyodor watched the students coming out of the teaching building, seeming to be looking for something.

But after waiting for a while, he said, "Let's go."

"Hmm," Hilda responded.

Then, the teleportation array lit up, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared into its light.

Just the next moment, a tall figure in linen walked out of the teaching building.

Compared to other students walking in groups, she seemed very lonely.

But she was used to it, carrying her book bag and slowly walking towards the direction of the girls' dormitory.

Not long after, she returned to the dormitory.

The researchers' dormitory was quite nice, with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and even a small kitchen, furnished simply and neatly.

Entering the room, she changed into slippers and carefully placed her cloth shoes in the shoe cabinet, as if afraid of dirtying the floor here.

But then she noticed a pair of beautiful women's shoes on the floor.

Seeing the women's shoes, she knew who had come and quickly got up, passing through the entrance to the living room, where she saw Holland sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, sipping freshly brewed tea.

"Back already," Holland smiled.

"Mentor Holland," Vina greeted softly, then extended a finger from her sleeve and pointed to the kitchen, "I'll go cut some fruit..."

"No need, those fruits are for you to eat. You need to replenish some nutrients, otherwise with your tall stature but light weight, you'll be blown away by the wind," Holland said with a smile.

"Come, sit here, mentor has something to discuss with you." Holland patted the sofa beside her and said.

Vina obediently nodded and sat down beside her.

Her posture was upright, like a primary school student sitting properly.

Holland chuckled, reproaching, "Am I that scary?"

"No... no..." Vina quickly waved her hand, as if afraid Holland would misunderstand.

"Alright alright, I know you're a good girl," Holland lightly touched Vina's hair and then looked at the sweater placed on the chair beside her.

"Did you knit this for him?" Holland asked.

"Yeah," Vina nodded.

"It looks good," Holland picked up the almost completed sweater, then pouted and said, "Why don't you knit one for me too?"

At this remark, Vina stood up and walked to the bedroom, leaving Holland puzzled.

Then she saw Vina coming out with a sweater in her arms, and then carefully handed it to Holland.

Holland was pleasantly surprised, "For me?"

"Yeah," Vina nodded.

"Thank you~" Holland happily took the sweater.

The sweater was white, made of pure wool, soft and warm to the touch, with cute blue snowflake patterns on it.

The sweater was a bit long, looking like a dress.

Holland, being 1.7 meters tall, would probably reach her knees when she wore it, which was just right.

Holland really liked it and asked with some joy, "Did you knit mine first?"

Who knew Vina shook her head, pointing to Fyodor's sweater.

Holland: "?"

Vina: "The sixth one."

Holland: "..."

"You knit six sweaters for him?!" Holland exclaimed in surprise.

Vina nodded.

"You're so biased~" Holland teased jealously.

"Then, then I'll knit a few more for you..." Vina quickly said.

At this remark, Holland sighed and gently rubbed Vina's hair.

Perhaps due to malnutrition, her hair was very thin, but it felt very soft.

"You, you're too obedient, you're easy to bully,"

"You see Fyodor, such a big bad guy, who would dare to bully him?"

Vina remained silent, and in the end, she just shook her head.

"He's not... a bad guy."

Holland: "..."

Seeing this obedient girl in front of her, Holland couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

So she leaned on her knees, propped her chin, and looked at her, "So, you can talk so much at once, silly Vina."

Vina pinched her small hand and whispered, "I didn't..."

Holland chuckled and said, "I thought you were going to say you're not silly."

Vina didn't say anything, just clasped her fingers together.

Seeing this, Holland gently said, "Girl, you really need to be more confident."

"You're not silly at all. I overlooked something, but you pointed it out all at once."

"Next time, if anyone dares to call you a silly goose, I'll beat them up!"

Vina hurriedly waved her small hand, "Don't beat them up..."

"I didn't say it was him, why are you so concerned about him?" Holland said jealously.

Vina shook her head, lowering it even more, and a bit of her ear, which was peeking out from under her hair, turned red. Holland could almost imagine that her face under her hair was as red as a ripe apple.

Holland suddenly understood why Fyodor liked to "bully" her.

She was just too cute.

Ten kilometers outside the Norfakla Forest, the glow of a teleportation array lit up in front of a teleportation pillar, and then the figures of two people and a cat appeared within it.

This kind of teleportation pillar serves as a spatial anchor point for positioning. There are many public teleportation points on the continent, most of which are set up by the Empire. They are generally placed in open areas. This allows the military to quickly move using teleportation anchor points.

I heard that the most powerful teleportation array can teleport up to one hundred thousand troops at once. That must be quite a spectacle.

There are also some privately set up teleportation points, but those who can set up private teleportation anchor points are generally not simple existences.

After crossing the vast plains for ten kilometers, they arrived at the edge of the Norfakla Grand Forest.

Feld checked the mission.

The platinum-level mission's monsters should be found in the Norfakla Forest, but for the ore, they would have to go elsewhere. But it's okay; they can deal with the monster mission first since the ore mission is a guild mission and not time-limited.

Next, it's guiding Hilda and Chichi in combat, where both he and Hilda will become Chichi's combat mentors. He believes Hilda will agree.

"This time my investigation area is the Norfakla Lake area of the Norfakla Forest, what about you?" Hilda asked.

"I don't have a designated investigation area, anywhere is fine," Feld said.

"Then let's go to the Norfakla Lake area first. The scenery of Norfakla Lake is nice, and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat, which can serve as a sparring ground," Hilda said with some anticipation.

Feld nodded with a smile.

While others coming to the Norfakla Forest focus on its dangers such as terrain, miasma, and monsters, Hilda is interested in the scenery. It shows her longing for beauty.

"Let's go then. Are you leading the way?" Feld said with a smile.

Hilda was about to nod subconsciously, but then she remembered something and puffed her cheeks slightly. "I'd rather not. You lead the way, or else you'll make fun of me later."

"Hahaha," Feld chuckled, causing Hilda to stomp her foot.

"I'm just... not very good at it!" Hilda pouted.

"Alright, alright. Then later I can teach you some navigation methods," Feld said with a smile as he walked ahead.

He had already memorized the maps of the surrounding areas in his mind; it was necessary. The maps not only divided the areas but also showed the monsters that would appear in each area, various materials, ores, and so on. Therefore, before coming to Seadot, Feld had specially bought many maps for reference. There were maps specifically for locating medicinal herb areas, maps of monster habitats, and maps of various rivers and mountain ranges. He then memorized them all and integrated them into one comprehensive and practical map in his mind, so he wasn't afraid of getting lost or not finding mission targets.

In his previous life, he relied on chips to remember maps, but now he relied on his brain.

As they walked through the forest, Feld ran his hand over the surface of the big trees, leaving a few marks as if carved by a knife.

"When in the forest, you can leave some marks every time you walk a distance. This way, it's convenient to find your way back," Feld said.

"I know this. Tell me something I don't know," Hilda said, raising her chin.

Feld nodded and pointed to the sky. "The most effective method is to look at the sky."

"The sky?" Hilda looked at the sky with some confusion, a clear blue expanse.

"Look at the clouds, those high and big clouds generally move from west to east because of the rotation of the planet," Feld said.

"What's a planet?" Hilda asked curiously, and Chichi perked up his ears to listen.

"It's the world under our feet, a collective term," Feld said.

"Of course, sometimes looking at the clouds isn't accurate because they can also be influenced by air currents at high altitudes, moving in any direction—east, west, north, or south. So, you can look at the clouds when the weather is good, but forget it when the weather is bad."

"A better method is to look at the sun."

"By using the sun, you can compare the direction with the shadow behind you."

"With a direction, you basically won't get lost."

"Look at the sun during the day, and look at the stars at night to confirm the direction based on easily identifiable stars."

"Then there's looking at the surrounding environment. Have you seen this moss?"

"It always grows on the side away from the light, liking the shade and dampness, so just remember, where moss grows lushly is the north."

As Feld walked and talked, Hilda and Chichi listened carefully.

They found that Feld knew a lot, and what he said was very practical, some of which weren't even in books. So, the more they listened, the brighter their eyes became, feeling like they had learned quite a bit.

Norfakla Lake is located in the middle of the Norfakla Forest and can be reached by following the river that connects to it. It's about eighty kilometers away.

So, the three of them maintained a relatively fast moving speed, averaging about thirty to forty kilometers per hour. This meant they would arrive in about two hours.

It's not easy to maintain this speed in the forest. It's already equivalent to a normal person running at full speed on flat ground. But for the three of them, it wasn't a big deal; it was even a bit relaxing.

Feld ran while giving Hilda and Chichi various knowledge, keeping his breathing very stable without any disorder, and his thoughts were extremely clear.

Feld himself was somewhat surprised by this. His memories from his previous life were very clear, even including the information stored in the chip under his synthetic body, including the knowledge recorded in his chip.

Feld speculated that his knowledge and memories had crossed over together. And since giant bodies have excellent memory, he thought of it as a small golden finger.

You see, in his previous life, he had some good stuff in the chip he installed. There were various combat teachings, knowledge needed for survival in wastelands, and firearm construction.

Although those chip scripts, combat body linkage modules, and such were gone, he could fully remember the information through the chip for knowledge downloads. He could recall it anytime.

Sometimes, Feld even had the illusion that the military neural slots he installed for over two hundred thousand, the two combat chips, and one auxiliary chip were still operating.

If it weren't for the fact that the technology of the company in his previous life hadn't reached such a incredible level, Feld would have thought that everything he was experiencing now was unreal, and that his real self had been taken by the company to make something like a brain in a vat.

Thinking about it was terrifying.

It's better to appreciate the beautiful faces of Hilda and Chichi more; it helps to remove mental pollution.

It was very effective. When Feld saw Chichi's cute expression and Hilda's thoughtful face, his mood became beautiful.
