Chapter 818 Nan Tian's Worries

Since she didn’t have the teleport shrine near Astral Horizons, she’ll need to get there manually and the only way for her to do that would be through the teleport scrolls that Stanley had given her.

But she had an idea for her to make a way to get there without the teleport scroll. After all, it would be rather awkward if she didn’t have a quick way to reach her main anchor should an attack be launched against it.

Her idea was that she wanted to do something similar to what she had done in the quest where she had first met Kuromi. She wanted to use her celestial energy or divine energy to create an orb or mark which allows her to teleport to it immediately should she require it.

Plus, with her control, there was the possibility that she’s able to mark other people so that she could appear beside them.

That way, if they run into any trouble, she can save them in their time of need.

Waving her hand, a black orb appeared above her palm as she casually threw it to the side.

Imagining something similar to her rift like back in the trial world, a portal opened up under Shiro as she appeared right where she had thrown the orb.

"Mn... travel time is a bit slow and it’s instantaneous." Shiro muttered as Isilia raised her eyebrow.

"Are you trying to make a new skill again?" She asked since Shiro used to experiment with blueprints all the time. But now, she was a proper mage that always looked for new spells.

"I am. I know where I want to make the anchor but I want to be able to access it at all times. So essentially I’m making something similar to a teleport shrine I guess." Shiro shrugged as Isilia placed her hand on her chin.

"Well if you want, I can tell you about what I know. I did do some research on teleport shrines after all."

As the two were discussing their ideas on making the fake teleport shrine, Nan Tian sighed softly as he glanced out of the window. It was a shame that he couldn’t help since he didn’t know much about making spells or experimenting like the two ladies.

While the two were concentrating, he decided to step out of the room for now.

Seeing Samuel by the side, Nan Tian smiled and gave him a small wave.

"Sir, do you require anything?" Samuel bowed since he knew that Nan Tian was important to Shiro.

"Nothing. I’m just going to have a short walk around since Shiro and Isilia are discussing a new skill that will help them with travelling back and forth from the anchor." Nan Tian replied with a smile.

"I see. In that case would you like one of the elders to accompany you on your walk so that they can show you around?" Samuel offered as Nan Tian shook his head.

"I’ll be fine. I just want a short walk around."

Nodding his head, Samuel stepped aside as Nan Tian made his way out of the castle.

Taking a deep breath, he sighed softly before glancing at the spirits that played around in the streets.

It reminded him of his time together with Shiro when they were kids but naturally, it wasn’t the same since Shiro was Shiro.

For Kuromi, he had feelings of gratitude but for Shiro’s personality it was feelings of love. At first, he didn’t recognise her since he had been taken away during their childhood but once she matured some more thanks to her level ups, he eventually realised who she was due to the news that he had heard.

Shaking his head, he wondered when he had fallen for her since it just started as a monster that could be beneficial to humanity. She was interesting since unlike other sentient monsters, she didn’t kill every human on sight and her trickster-like personality made him chuckle whenever he thought of her deeds.

Smiling softly, he glanced towards the window where they were currently working.

As if sensing his gaze, Shiro sat up and looked out the window. Seeing Nan Tian, she only smiled and focused back on work.

’She was probably wondering who glanced towards her.’ Nan Tian thought to himself since he understood that her senses towards other people were very sharp. Just a single negative thought about her while looking towards her will give your position away.

As for how she even cultivated this kind of sense, Nan Tian didn’t know what she had to go through to become this perceptive to her surroundings. He knew that in her first life, she had gone through a lot of torture before she could even use nanobots but it was brushed over which he understood that she probably didn’t want to go into detail about the pain she had to suffer.

It was unfortunate but that was the past so there was nothing they could do about it. All he could do was hope that she could make her current life enjoyable. Which was rather hard considering the responsibilities weighing down on her shoulders.

But with the return of her best friend, he could tell that she was much happier but it only made him slightly sad since to him, it seemed like he wasn’t able to give her the same sense of happiness.

Having a short walk around the city, a few of the spirits avoided him like before but he didn’t mind.
