Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 453 Everyone Knows Him

The two walked through the forest, with Arthur taking his time to look at the surrounding area and appreciate the vegetation and the living beings.

Delphine carried the dead, magical beast on her shoulders, and although it was a little heavy, she did not want to bother someone like Arthur for such a small matter. Still, Arthur noticed it and placed his hand on her forehead, granting her a buff.

A bright light covered her body for an instant, and Delphine felt her body more powerful, and the once heavy beast was not as heavy as before.

"Whoa!‌ What did you do?" she asked.

"A minor blessing. Nothing to be impressed by," Arthur said.

Arthur had learned many spells, and such a small thing as improving the body of a weaker mage was no problem. Now that he was rank-five, he could do anything with weaker mages, a different realm!

"But I am impressed still! How can you be so powerful? Actually, how old are you, exactly?"

Delphine had put in her head that Arthur had to be someone old, at least a thousand years, to be that powerful, and no matter what he tried to say to her, she would remain faithful to her beliefs.

"Older than you think," Arthur said, followed by a question, "why are you living nearby, yet still outside of the village? Isn't it safer inside?"

"Yes, it is, but I like the peace of the woods, and it is better for my alchemy experiments," Delphine said, smiling as she talked about alchemy.

It was clear that she loved alchemy, yet she was not talented enough in the field to have the means of leaving that place. Overall, she was not gifted as a mage, having only the power of a third-circle mage.

"She is a good candidate to ask for power," Arthur thought.

"I want to see your potions someday if you let me," Arthur said.

"Of course, you can go to my hut anytime!"

They kept walking until finally reaching the village, and when they did, everyone looked toward Arthur.

Everyone knew at that point he had miracle healing powers — Marylin's boy, who was almost dead, was now blooming with health!

Arthur said nothing about his healing prowess to be kept a secret, so Marylin shared it with the village.

Also, even if she did not, people would still see her boy walking again, and that would raise questions.

Some villagers want to speak with Arthur and perhaps ask for assistance but decide not to.

They did not want to bother him and would only go to him if he allowed it. It was the right call because no one loved having many people chasing them, asking for favors.

"The plan is set, and now people will want things, meaning I will have souls."

"Arthur!"

Only a few people in the village dared to speak with Arthur, and one of those people was Tracy, who was yelling his name when she realized he was back in the town.

"Tracy! How is your practice?"

"Good so far, Dad wants your help to start practicing the technique too!"

Arthur had promised to help Victor and Emily with the technique and would not break his promise.

Delphine was still beside Arthur, surprised after realizing the little girl talking had magical power! It was rare to see someone that young with it.

The most shocking part for her was that Arthur was helping her practice, which explained many things! Only with the guidance of powerful beings would one reach such a level in a short period.

Not that Delphine was thinking lightly of Tracy. Of course not. She knew Tracy had a better talent for magic than her, but there was no denying Arthur was the key to her success.

"Sure, I will go to your house in just a few moments," Arthur said.

Tracy was a kid, but she understood Arthur had other things to do, so she nodded and returned to her house.

"She is lovely, right?" Arthur said, and Delphine agreed to it.

"Why didn't you go with her?"

"That's because I am accompanying you with your wolf problem, and you said you would show me your hut."

Only one person was skilled enough to take the pelt of a magical beast, old Jin.

He had the means to take and preserve the pelt, yet old Jin did not know how to craft any items using magical beast pelts.

"Only in the cities will they know how to do it," he said.

Delphine was glad enough to take and preserve the pelt.

"One day, I might go to a decent city," she thought, but that idea seemed distant.

While old Jin took out that wolf's pelt slowly and precisely, Arthur kept staring at him, watching his movements.

Arthur was not a stranger to old Jin, which made his task way harder, as he was nervous.

"All done. Did you like it?" Old Jin asked, delivering the pelt to Delphine, yet he looked at Arthur from the corner of his eyes.

"toward that direction, around 3km."

She pointed toward the direction, and Arthur nodded, placing his He knew the pelt was for the girl, but Arthur was the one he had to please at that moment and seeing how Arthur did not say a word, old Jin sighed in relief.

After they finished the pelt, it was time for Delphine to show her small little hut near the village, so they left again.

But although Arthur wanted to walk and enjoy the atmosphere, Victor and Tracy were waiting for his return for the training, so he wanted to find the hut as fast as possible.

"No more walking for the day. Tell me the direction of your hut and how many km."

He asked the general location of the hut, and Delphine answered, "toward that direction, around 3km."

She pointed toward the direction, and Arthur nodded, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"What are you d-"

Before she could end her sentence, they had both disappeared from the village, traveling 3km in less than one second.
