Today is my third day in the capital, and I have to make preparations to meet the Supreme Elder. Leon was kind enough to give me information about the revolution and their motives. The leader of the revolution is Vivia, and lucky for me, she lives here in Rize. I have to meet her before meeting the Elder. Since I know where she lives, I think I am going to pay her a visit.

I need a skill to prevent eavesdropping, so let me create it. Easy, right? Wrong! I think the goddess has something against me or the one who grants skills in this world. Firstly, skill creation is a skill that I used to have ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶symbols. Secondly, in order to create a skill or level up existing skills, I have to sacrifice other skills. You do not understand, right? Let me show you.

Skill creation: create "Silence"

[Choose skill to sacrifice in order to create "Silence"]

"Sacrifice Mining level 7."

[Sacrifice Mining level 7 to create Silence? Yes/No]

"Yes."

[CONFIRMED]

[Commencing creation of the skill "Silence"]

[Successful!]

[Silence level 7]

Yeah, yeah, whatever, lady. By the way, when I first used this skill, I thought it was the "system" and the sweet and kind lady's voice in my head. But now we all know this ain't no kind lady—she's more or less a scammer. I think they should have named this skill "Equivalent Exchange" instead of "Skill Creation." Let's go meet Vivia.

I stood 20 meters from her house, trying not to look suspicious. Should I go and knock at the door? I feel like a stalker already! I don't have time to waste. I knocked on the door, and I heard a man's voice shouting, "Coming!"

"Good day, sir."

"Good day to you too. How can I help you?"

Opening the door was a tall man with green hair, a muscular body, and handsome features. Damn, I'm so jealous! Where are my muscles? How come I tried so hard and I don't have muscles? This is not fair.

"I am here to meet Lady Vivia."

"Who sent you?"

Wait, buddy, what do you mean, who sent me? God sent me.

"I have a message for Lady Vivia from the elders."

The moment he heard the word "elders," his expression suddenly changed from intense to friendly.

"You should have said that from the beginning."

And you should have been friendly from the beginning. I come in peace, chill, man.

"Can I meet Lady Vivia now?"

"Please, come in."

I entered the house, and it was spacious and clean inside.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"Please have a seat. Would you like water or tea?"

"I am fine."

"I will be back in a sec."

Sec, huh? I know I may sound rude, but I will not drink anything here. What if I get poisoned? I can actually create a poison resistance skill, but what will I sacrifice?

Entering the room was a beautiful lady with high heels, green hair, and D-cup breasts. Man, I want to bury my face in those boobies.

"How long are you going to stare at them?"

Wait, she already sat down. I let out a little cough.

"My name is Elfan, messenger from the elders."

"Elders have messengers of dark elves?"

"I am my master's loyal servant. Are you trying to say my master made a mistake by sending me here?"

"That is not what I meant. I was expecting to meet a high elf."

"Why would my master send a higher one for the likes of you?"

Damn, damn. Come on, lady.

"You are right. Those old hags do whatever they want and think they are special."

"Please refrain from insulting my master."

"Fine. So, what is the message?"

"Master told me to pass this message: stop supporting the Eclipse family, or else there will be consequences."

"Are you threatening me now?"

"I am just a humble messenger."

"Okay, Mr. Messenger, what if I take you hostage and force the elders to retract their decision?"

"You can do that, but I don't think my master will retract her decision, for I am just a tool in her hands. Even if you kill me now, my master already has a replacement for me."

"..."

"If I don't return, my master will take your answer as 'no.' Can the revolution fight both the Adams and the council at the same time?"

"..."

Since she is silent like this, let me press again.

"Even if you fight the elders, would the Eclipse family allow that?"

"Please give me five days to discuss it with my comrades."

"Five days? Are you making fun of my master?"

"Two days, please. I promise you! I put my honor on the line. I, Vivia Elrak, promise to give you a favorable reply in two days."

What honor? I want you to retract your support immediately. Two days? Ehh. I am stuck, damn. Calm down.

"Two days it is. Have a nice day."

I stood up, ready to leave.

"Can you stay for lunch at least?"

"Thank you, but my master is impatient. If I am late, I will be punished."

"Okay. See you in two days, Mr. Elfan."

I left the house and went back to the inn. Phew, I survived. Plan A is falling apart, huh? Whatever, let tomorrow worry about itself.

I woke up early in the morning and went downstairs as usual for breakfast. Man, this food is good. I should bring Mom and Emma to live here with me. By the way, the Adams family lives in the Circle, so that means I cannot meet Dad until I get permission to enter Circle City. A handsome man with golden hair and golden eyes greeted me and introduced himself.

"Good morning, Mr. Elfan. My name is Sebastian and—"

"Sebastian?"

"Let me guess, you must be the butler of some big family, right?"

"Butler? No, I am not."

Hold the phone, ain't Sebastian supposed to be the name of the butlers in manga and novels?

"Anyway, sir, Leon sent me here to guide you to House Whiteheart."

"House Whiteheart?"

"Yes, sir. The Supreme Elder hails from House Whiteheart, and you will be meeting with her today."

Why is he bowing and smiling elegantly? Leon, you damn idiot, this is sudden. I don't have formal clothes to meet the Elder. No preparation. Wait, why did I sacrifice my mining skill again for Silence I did not use? I forgot about using Silence. What if this guy in front of me is a spy from the revolution or the Eclipse family? What if he tries to kill me after I follow him? But what if he is genuinely sent by Leon? Whatever, we will see.

I stood up, went to my room, and took a bath for at least three hours. He was still waiting for me, and we left the inn and entered a fancy carriage that had an emblem of a shield and wings on the sides. I am so nervous! The carriage started to move, and there was an awkward silence. This guy is not talking, but when I look at him, he smiles. We arrived at the city gates of Circle City, and the guard approached our carriage and started talking to the coachman.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning. Can I look inside?"

The guard opened the carriage door, greeted us, and Sebastian gave him some papers. He looked at me and the papers and thanked us for our cooperation. We entered the city. Wow, this is heaven. The houses are made of oak trees, and not only are they big but also beautiful. Clean streets, fresh air, happy people. We finally arrived at the Whiteheart estate.
