“Well, if he says he didn’t receive it, that’ll be the end, but I think it’s better to send it.”

“What are you talking about? I have nothing to say to him.”

“Don’t you have any questions to ask? Saying you came to inquire is the best excuse.”

“Inquire?”

Ruella recalled what she heard from Schuna and said, “I heard a rumor that the accident Ruella had was a scheme orchestrated by Lady Camun.”

Kite turned to her with a surprised expression. “Lady Camun?”
“Yes. Ruella said she didn’t know how to ride, but suddenly she fell off the horse. It’s a strange incident. To conceal that, she mentioned that the maid was changed to Schuna. The previous maid was said to be untraceable.”

“Haven’t Hazen said something similar before? Lady Camun also died falling off a horse.”

“Yes. He also mentioned that Balder seemed to have killed her. I should write a letter to ask Balder about this incident.”

“Should I stop the carriage?”

Ruella shook her head at Mitchell’s words.

“No. Let’s send it from Camun Village. I want it to feel like I went there to investigate something.”

“Why did you kill your lover’s brother?”

Tien asked as if she couldn’t understand.

“I need to meet Lord Cedus.”

“Ruella!”

The three people in the carriage shouted at the same time.

“No, I’ll see him at the Grand Ball. I won’t come. Hmm, Mitchell, arrange the schedule for the ball and accompany Ruella. Don’t leave her alone and don’t take your eyes off her.”

“No, don’t talk like I’m causing trouble every time. We don’t need a babysitter.”

“No, we do. You must not be separated from us. Don’t even think about meeting anyone alone.”

Unable to resist Kite’s stern insistence, Ruella couldn’t argue any longer.

As the carriage fell silent again, Mitchell spoke with tired eyes closed.
“I’ll close my eyes until we arrive. I need to switch shifts with Mabuseok later.”

“Let Ruella and Tien rest too. It seems we might stay up all night.”

At Kite’s words, Ruella closed her eyes. Despite having a head full of thoughts, she needed to get some sleep for the upcoming raid.

“What kind of wild animals are as strong as low-level monsters?”

Hazen grumbled as he sent summoned creatures against the swarm of animals rushing toward them.

“This area is a level 80 hunting ground. Just watch your experience points go up. Oh, and the meat of these animals increases your attack power by 10, so please hunt as many as you can.”

Not long after, Ruella reached level 29. Thanks to the wild animals forming a pack and attacking, reaching level 30 happened quickly.

“Stop, I’ve reached level 30. Tien also leveled up.”

Unlike Ruella, who learns new skills with each level up, others only had their existing magic or abilities upgraded.

I’ve always thought about this, but the reason why professional skills, maps, and skills differ from the actual game seems to be because Ruella is an NPC named Grand Healer Ruella Romine.

Being set as an extraordinary Grand Healer in the game’s story, she seemed to have much better skills and techniques than regular users.
Ruella opened the map to check the portal areas. After reaching level 30, portal symbols were generated in every village, just like in the game.

Now, there was no need to ride the carriage for ten hours to come here. Even if they failed to capture ‘Vincenti’ today, they could come back with ease. Moreover, if they encountered Balder’s subordinates, they could quickly move to any other village.

Ruella also checked the skills she newly learned, aside from teleportation magic. There were various healing skills, and she learned skills to create healing barriers and defense shields.

Ruella clicked on the robe she received as a quest yesterday. Unfortunately, a message appeared on the screen, stating that, unlike weapons, armor could not be used in reality.

Why could weapons be used, but not armor? Was it because the balance was off? Or did they prevent me, as a healer, from using items that could help with defense?

Seeing that she couldn’t use the armor she got from defeating Grape Field Motre, it seemed like that could be the case. Upon reflection, it appeared that they had blocked the use of items that seemed imbalanced despite providing powerful skills.

“Ruella, can we go hunt monsters now?”

In response to Mitchell’s question, Ruella nodded her head.
