Carefully taking a look at the alignment of things in the kitchen, Adele added. "Elves are beings who are considered close to gods, and who look rather gorgeous. It's a trait of our species outside the extremely long lifespan. This although is more like a curse since it makes us the perfect target to be made into living sex dolls, moreover since humans consider us close to gods hence they also believe in the rumour that our body fluids have similar effects as you otherworlders."
Having inspected the kitchen, Adele quietly walked over to the couch, sitting beside Te-Ho and crossing her firm dark legs. "After I escaped, the noble who had bought me quite obviously wanted me back so he branded me as a criminal. This prevented me from being able to get a house in any of the towns and end up here."
After a seconds silence, Adele clasped her hands together beaming with a gentle smile. "So enough gloom, what's the plan for today?"
Te-Ho casually scratched the back of his ear as he spoke. "Well to be honest I'd like to unlock my class before posters about me are painted in every single town."
"Hmm… good idea, well the closest town is probably 'Axel' it is a comparatively smaller one so there isn't much of a chance that they'll start searching there." Adele said.
"It's about a few hours in the northwest direction from here. I'd like to guide you but alas that noble in order to haste the process of bringing me back, turned me into a heretic. At this point I might as well be a legendary criminal throughout the country." She chuckled.
"Oh wait!" Adele suddenly spoke out mid laugh, surprising Te-Ho. She briskly walked outside bringing in a hooded cloak and what looked to be a tiny otter like creature—one that was dead. "Take this guy with you and exchange it at the guild. Hehe! It should give you a decent sum of money to start off." She added with a bright smile.
'She really is sweet—I almost wanna stay here forever.' Te-Ho thought as he felt his heart beating hasten.
[You do realise that she is holding a dead monster right?] the system shot out blandly but it was as if Te-Ho couldn't even hear it's voice.

After bidding Adele goodbye and walking across the forest for about two and a half hours, Te-Ho finally caught the glimpse of a clearing.
Walking a few paces forth, he saw mighty walls made of stone, circling around the entire city. In front of him was an iron clad gate that was open wide and a huge cue of people extended out of the entrance.
'So much for a small town.' Te-Ho chuckled as he walked forth silently joining into the large cue. There were all sorts of species like, humans, dwarves, beastmen and even a few fairies.
After a while, Te-Ho finally reached the gate, on its two sides were rather buff looking men dawned in silver armour.
"Name?" One of the guards asked in a heavy voice.
"Te—"
[Use an alias idiot!] the system's angelic voice cut him off the moment Te-Ho began to speak.
"Uh—uhm… Temian." Te-Ho blurted out, almost feeling the disappointment in the system's eyes.
[I want to slap you right now. You better thank the heavens for I don't have arms.]
'I was caught off guard ok?!' Te-Ho shot back in his head, noticing the guard cock an eyebrow
"I'm assuming that you aren't a registered citizen?" He said indifferently.
Te-Ho shook his head in denial, his black eyes scanning the area as he adjusted his hood.
The guard let out an exhausted sigh, as he grabbed a piece of paper and pen in-front of Te-Ho. "Add your info and sign this." He said, nudging him off to the side as the line continued.
After signing the simple looking form that asked for his name, age, identifiable marks such as scars or moles, his purpose for entering and occupation. Te-Ho finally entered into the supposed 'small town'. The only minute issue was that this small town was rather huge.
Aside from the big walls, it seemed to continue on and on. The roads were paved and made of stone. There were aesthetic looking shops next to the sidewalk, made out of either wood or painted bricks. A small water channel flowed through the town, large enough to make boats an effective form of transportation.
The sense of fashion that most people had here almost reminded Te-Ho of the nineteen hundreds. Men wore suits, white shirts and even top hats while the ladies were dressed in excellent and flashy dresses.
'Forget small town, this is basically a capital at this point.' Te-Ho thought as he looked around in wonder.
[Pretty sure the last, that the elf visited this place was about a couple centuries ago.]
Walking through the streets, Te-Ho saw all sorts of scenes like carriages both hand and horse drawn, moving on the paved road or drunk looking people fighting in a secluded alley. Some men in extravagant suits even had slaves carrying luggage bigger than themselves.
After a while of sightseeing, Te-Ho finally reached the front of what looked to be a bar. It had a wooden door and a hanging sign upfront on which something was carved in the local language—but Te-Ho being an otherworlder obviously did not recognise it.
["Dragon's Den" is what the sign says.] the system spoke.
'You can read this stuff?'
[Yes.]
'Eh… now that I think of it, why have I been able to understand what everyone was saying up till now? It was as if they were speaking Korean.' Te-Ho thought to himself.
[It's one of Heaven's blessings. It allows you to is instantly comprehend the common languages of each country here. A few dialects are left out cause the God of Knowledge, got bored and never finished it.]
'The more I hear about heaven the more these god's sound like lazy old fogeys.' Te-Ho thought, rubbing his chin as he felt second hand embarrassment for the God. Just then form the corner of his eyes, through the glass and inside the dragon's den, he noticed a woman with red shirt hair and a muscular build, fly high into the sky—before falling back down with a hard thud!
Taking a better look, he noticed there was a boxing ring inside and she was fighting another, relatively larger woman with black hair. Though this one was quite a lot uglier. Turning his gaze back to the red haired woman, he was slightly taken a back as he realised that the woman was looking directly at him.
