I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE



"Sure. Thank you for your teaching, teacher." said Jayna in a teasing tone.

"Urgh… Forget about it." said Angus as he remembered some of his past life.

The next day, Angus wakes up early and prepares his things. Learning from his past trip, he decides to bring a lot of equipment that is enough to destroy a small nation. Fortunately, he could store these things inside Draven's personal dimension.

Draven also has his own dimension. However, the legendary cat beast didn't like others to put things inside of it unless it was his food. It took Angus a lot of 'threat' to finally let Draven store his items.

After checking everything is ready, Angus goes outside his bedroom balcony to enjoy the cool morning breeze. During this time, Jayna also follows him and hugs him from behind. The young couple didn't say anything, just enjoying each other warm in silence.

"I should go now." said Angus softly.

However, Jayna still didn't release her hug, even to hold it tighter.

"Jayna…" called Angus gently.

Through their bond, he could feel Jayna's disturbed mind. Therefore, he also couldn't push away his beloved girl. At this moment, they find the sleepy Anna unusually wakes up while holding her fluffy ball.

"Emm… Did Daddy want to go somewhere?" asked Anna, wiping her sleepy eyes.

"Yes. But not for long. Can Anna be a good girl while Daddy is gone?" asked Angus while patting the little girl's head.

"Alright, Anna will be a good girl while Daddy is having an affair trip." said Anna innocently.

"Urgh… Where did you learn… Forget about it. Just don't make too much trouble, okay?" said Angus.

"Jayna, I will go first then. Please tell Mother and Brother Jason." said Angus.

"Sure. Come back soon and no flirting." said Jayna while holding Anna.

"Draven, let's go." said Angus with a smile.

*Whish* The dark shadow below Angus starts to cover him and swallow his body. The next moment, Angus disappears into the shadows [Shadow Teleportation]. Unbeknownst to Angus and Jayna, the twin Gemini once again manages to sneak behind Angus and get teleported again.

A few moments later, Angus finds himself inside the teleportation room at the Royal Palace. His sudden arrival surprised all the people in the room.

"I hope I am not too late yet." said Angus casually.

"A-Angus?!" called Duke Jacob in surprise.

"Hmm… It seems you changed your mind, huh?" said Jade.

"I never said I didn't agree, did I?" replied Angus.

"Then, I suppose I no longer need to go, right?" asked another high noble in the room.

"Ahh.. Yeah. I apologize for all of the trouble, Marquis Balan." said Duke Jacob politely.

"Don't worry about it. My noble Bladedrifter family will always be ready to help the Victory family." said Marquis Balan.

While the two high noble exchange pleasantries, "I hear you just created another mess in the territory yesterday. Are you sure you want to go with us?" asked red-skinned Jade.

"I want to try learning the elf's unique smithing technique. So, I hope uncle could help me see the world and experience things." said Angus.

"Hahahaha…. Right. That's what I said. Well, I will see what I can do later. I hear from His Majesty they will do some sort of test or something." said Jade.

"Seriously?" asked Angus with a frown.

"The elf actually already called me a long time ago. However, our recent war with the Nergal prevented me from leaving the border. They just want to announce my title as seventh grade or something. It is not too important." said Jade.

"Hooo… That's quite a surprise." said Angus.

While waiting for the teleportation platform to get ready, no one notices the twin Gemini is peeking from an outside door before disappearing.

After waiting a while, the teleportation platform was finally ready. The royal palace teleportation device is the only one registered to Roundel City. Otherwise, they may get rejected if they use other teleportation devices.

Jade, Duke Jacob and Angus step on the platform and wait to be teleported. *Wung* *Wung* *BZZZTZZZ* The circular platform shines brightly before the three people disappear without a trace.

A moment later, Angus finds himself in another place filled with trees and greenery. His mind is a little bit dizzy from the teleportation side effect. However, the dizziness is weaker than Draven's rough mass teleportation last time.

With the help of his passive regeneration and high vitality, Angus recovered from his dizziness in a few seconds.

"Welcome to Roundel City, Master Jade. My name is Filka Greenever. I will be your guide during your stay at Roundel City. Please drink these to alleviate the effect of the teleportation device." said one of the elves nearby.

"Sure." said Jade while taking the blue liquid drink.

Angus and Duke Jacob also take the drink but don't immediately drink it. Using his high intelligence and [Analyze], Angus immediately virtually breaks down the blue-colored drink in his mind.

A few seconds later, Angus nods to Jade and his father. Then, they start to drink these refreshing drinks without fear. Although they have heard about these customs before, they still need to be careful since they are in a foreign land.

Usually, King Leon will leave at least one person in their group to avoid consuming anything if the food and drink are poisoned. However, with Angus' assurance and [Analyze], they didn't need to fear the poison.

The nearby elves and Filka also didn't mind their action since they were already used to this careful behavior from other nation leaders.

After that, they leave the teleportation area and walk around Roundel City. Since it is the first time for Jade and Angus inside this tree city, they decide to tour the city before returning to their residence.

During this time, Angus released his [Great Mana Echolocation] to sense everything nearby. He finds these cities are truly unique. None of the buildings are made of brick or stone. Everything in Roundel City is made of wood and the buildings are shaped like trees.

The only exception is the large dome building in the middle of the city. It is made of unknown materials that even Angus couldn't [Analyze].

'Even their sanitary equipment is made of wood, though I could feel it is not ordinary. Is it their custom or just a wood obsession.' thought Angus inwardly.

Besides the unique architecture, Angus also finds other people from various races walking around the city.

"As you can see, Roundel City is a special city made of wood and trees. We also take care of the cleaning of these places seriously. We hope you can put the trash in the right place." explained Filka as their guide.

"Interesting… I wonder if these trees could easily get burned." commented Jade with a smile.

Seeing the red-skinned Jade that seemed made of fire, Filka wasn't surprised at this question and gave an honest answer with a smile.

"Master Jade didn't need to worry about this. The wood and tree buildings here are heavily enchanted. However, we hope you do not intentionally burn them since the enchantment has its own limit." explained Filka.

"Hoo… This makes me wonder. If everything is made of wood, did you not have something like a smithing area or weapon forge here?" asked Jade while leading the topic.

"Of course, we have our own forge facility. However, our method of forging is quite different from usual forging. We don't need to use any fire during the forging process." explained Filka truthfully.

"Really? Can I see it?" asked Jade with a smile.

'As expected of Uncle, he is really good at leading topics.' thought Angus.

"Hmm… Maybe you can see it. However, our smithers and crafters like quiet environments. I hope you don't make too much noise." said Filka.

"Sure, just lead the way." said Jade.

They meet other people from various nations when they are on the way to the elf forging facility. Some of them have their own conversation, while a few of them bicker with each other.

When their argument reaches a certain point, their elven guide suggests they fight inside the specially prepared area.

At this moment, they passed by another group of people from another nation. Unlike the other group, Angus and the others could feel these groups consist of three seventh-grade level people. However, the two other seventh grades seemed to doze off like they were being controlled.

On the other hand, the lady in front of them looks very charming and enchanting. Jade immediately recognized this charming black-haired lady. She is the Mistress of Menaki, Ivis Latina. It is one of the most dangerous seventh grade listed by King Leon.

Jade knows this is a vicious woman who could even take control over two full-fledged seventh-grade combatants under her command. Although no one knows how she did it, it has already made the other seventh-grade people put guards against her.

No one wants their mind and body controlled like a slave, especially the prideful seventh grade. Fortunately, this control is also lowering the seventh-grade combat prowess. Otherwise, the Menaki Kingdom will become a supreme empire in the Firuman long ago.

Jade didn't want to have any contact with this vicious woman. He decided to ignore her and keep walking without saying anything. Angus and Jacob also did the same things. Just as they passed, Angus and Mistress Ivis seemed to feel something.
