Hearing [ Howling Pothos's ] words, the little girl looked up in confusion and asked:
"Sir, what is an artist?"
"Hmm, someone who can create things that are incomprehensible to others."
"Then my brother is one now."
After a brief conversation, Enzo's family quickly packed their belongings.
Like the middle-aged and elderly people in another world, they always wanted to pack up more things to take with them when they left Fir City.
[ Howling Pothos ] has reason to believe that if the two people in front of her have the ability to fold space, then this house, along with its foundation, would be taken away in one fell swoop.
After his repeated instructions, the two left behind some unimportant items and finally arrived at the house with only a few possessions that could be considered property.
Enzo's father seemed to have just remembered something and asked in confusion:
"Priest, I remember there are many Blood Corpse outside the city. Wouldn't it be unsafe for us to leave Fir City?"
"It's alright, Blood Corpse can't fly."
[ Howling Pothos ] said with a laugh.
But we can't fly either!
Enzo's sister asked, puzzled.
That's not necessarily true.
[ Howling Pothos ] confidently pulled out a signal flare.
After confirming with the staff of the Adventurers' Guild, [ Howling Pothos ] learned that the signal stunt was not an item that was forcibly bound to the landing via the Soldier Bee route.
In other words, even stowaways like him could use this to evacuate, so he had already purchased three or four signal flares before building the supply point for use during a temporary evacuation.
But he doesn't intend to use it on himself now.
Reaching out and breaking the signal flare, [ Howling Pothos ] led the family of three, excluding Enzo, to a nearby alley to wait.
About ten minutes later, the first Soldier Bee arrived above the alley.
[ Howling Pothos ] gestured that there were three people who needed to be evacuated, so the Soldier Bee immediately turned and left.
Another ten minutes or so later, the three Soldier Bee arrived in the skies above the northern edge of Fir City.
Their bee wings vibrated at a high frequency, producing a sound similar to an electric toothbrush, which seemed somewhat out of place on the edge of the city in the early morning.
[ Howling Pothos ] was actually worried that such a noise would attract attention, so as soon as the Bee Silk hung down, it was tied around the waists of the three people.
Amidst the confusion of the three, [ Howling Pothos ] said to Enzo's parents:
"Please trust Enzo's choice. You must not be afraid or make any noise, otherwise it may attract unnecessary attention."
Hearing the other person suddenly give them a heads-up, the two adults were fully prepared.
[ Howling Pothos ] made an "OK" gesture, and the Bee Silk began to tighten rapidly, quickly lifting the three of them up.
The feeling of their feet leaving the ground made Enzo's sister beam with joy, but a look of worry appeared on their parents' faces.
They weren't without suspicions about the truth, but Enzo's ability to get this man to reveal the type of tree he was hiding was itself a testament to trust.
Trusting this stranger is, in essence, trusting your own son.
So the two of them forcibly overcame their fear, and even when they were grabbed by Soldier Bee that were taller and bigger than themselves, they did not make a sound.
Only Enzo's sister seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, occasionally letting out a soft giggle.
After seeing Enzo's family off, [ Howling Pothos ] began her own operation.
He could have left with the three men, but calling for four Soldier Bee would increase the risk of exposure due to the increased noise.
Secondly, things didn't actually go as smoothly as he described.
Enzo's family could indeed be placed near the castle—no, it should be called Valhalla now—but how would they get there?
Ordinary players can only have simple interactions with the Soldier Bee, but the Soldier Bee are like buses that can be hailed and stopped at any time; they can pick up passengers anytime, but they can't go everywhere.
A few hours later, the three will land in Black Locust Town, where they will find themselves surrounded by a strange crowd.
Although it's unknown whether they will be stressed, [ Howling Pothos ] believes this is not the proper way to treat the Soul Returner.
Fortunately, he had perfected his plan, and although the expenses were a bit high, he was at least able to handle things well.
With that thought in mind, he had already returned to Enzo's home.
Although a lot of life still remains here, all the valuables have completely disappeared.
Some old furniture and daily necessities were scattered haphazardly, revealing the most authentic side of this family to [ Howling Pothos ].
He checked that the doors and windows of Enzo's house were closed, then lay down on the bed where strange noises would come from the slightest movement, closed his eyes, and opened the top left corner of the player panel.
Several rarely used options appeared before him. [ Howling Pothos ] sighed slightly, moved his gaze, and clicked the cursor on "Abandon Current Body"...
In the isolated Fir City, the only way to get things done before Enzo's family and to handle the whole situation properly was to act faster.
Unlike most players, [ Howling Pothos ] had never died in the game for the past six months, meaning that his current body is the same one he had when he first logged into the game.
Although he didn't say it, [ Howling Pothos ] would sometimes feel smug about it, after all, he had never heard of anyone else who could play the game for so long with only one life.
I never imagined that my first death in this World of Disorder would be due to someone else's suicide...
However, this can be considered a fitting death.
After a very brief period of dizziness, [ Howling Pothos ] felt as if she had left her body, looking down at the entire Aduolin Province from high above.
His equipment, his tools, his custom-made weapons, and all the gold and silver coins he carried with him were left on a bed in a house in a corner of Fir City, along with his body.
Experiencing this unprecedented feeling, [ Howling Pothos ] carefully observed the scene of Aduolin Province in front of him.
However, this is just a concept drawing and cannot be enlarged, while the area outside the Aduolin Province is shrouded in an endless thick fog.
On this picture, dozens of shimmering dots await his selection.
