Chapter 227: Chapter 227
Wendy walked over to Ron.
Not long after, Dominica came out with the tickets.
A total of five tickets.
Some of the other Nen users from the Kingdom of Fiore who participated in this operation had already returned to Fiore.
Others were still in Talis.
Therefore, this group included only Dominica and Ralph's family of four.
Dominica handed the tickets to Ralph.
"These are your tickets."
Ralph glanced at the remaining tickets in Dominica's hand and was momentarily stunned.
"Aren't Ron and Wendy coming with us?"
"They're not."
Dominica shook his head and said, "They plan to go elsewhere."
"Where are they going?"
Ralph instinctively asked.
"That's not something you should be concerned about, Ralph." Dominica paused and continued, "If they haven't told you themselves, I can't share that information with you."
"In the future, you'll also become a Nen user. This is one of the basic codes among Nen users."
"However, if you really want to know, you can ask them directly."
Ralph fell silent.
Before he could decide, Lilith had already run over to Ron and Wendy.
"Brother Ron, Sister Wendy, where are you going? Aren't you coming with us? Aren't you going to the Kingdom of Fiore? Will I be able to see you again?"
Lilith had no ill intentions.
Both inside and out, she only showed reluctance.
Lilith was very grateful to Ron.
She always remembered that pancake from before.
She also liked Wendy very much.
Growing up with three brothers and a mother who didn't care for her, Lilith longed to have a sister.
And Wendy perfectly matched Lilith's ideal of a sister.
"We have some other things to attend to."
Ron said with a smile, "Your Sister Wendy will return to the Kingdom of Fiore soon, and I will go there not long after."
"By then, we can meet again."
"But you, don't forget about us just because you're in a new environment with many new things."
Lilith quickly shook her head.
"No, no, I'll always remember Brother Ron and Sister Wendy."
Ron extended his pinky finger.
"Then it's a promise."
"Okay."
Lilith hooked her pinky finger with Ron's.
Before long, it was time for the airship to depart.
Dominica and the others boarded the airship one after another.
Lilith looked down reluctantly, gazing in the direction of Ron and Wendy.
Ron and Wendy stood below, waving toward the airship from afar.
---
After watching Dominica and the others depart on the airship, Ron and Wendy didn't purchase tickets for that flight. Instead, they strolled through the city's night market and departed the next day.
They had tickets for an early flight.
After boarding the airship, the two sat near a window.
They looked at the scenery outside while discussing the recent events.
Starting from the small town.
Then to the city where Shusuke Ito was.
They dealt with the monstrous giant fish and the human-head balloons.
Then came the battle inside the Colosseum.
That mobile Nen spirit amazed Ron.
It could be said to be extremely powerful.
In the battles within Talis, the two didn't participate much.
When acting with Gel's squad, the main fighters were the members of Gel's team.
They used targeted poisons to deal with those monsters.
Upon reaching Horuen City.
Those monsters had impressive hidden abilities, but their individual strength was quite limited.
Whether it was Ron or Wendy, they could easily kill them.
The large airship floated in mid-air, swaying when seen from a distance.
But in reality, it was moving at a fast speed.
Wendy felt a bit sleepy; her eyelids drooped involuntarily.
Ron asked the attendant for a blanket and covered Wendy with it.
Then, Ron quietly summarized his situation in his mind.
First, the fifth Nen Beast had finally been created.
A Nen Beast with quite practical abilities.
It possessed abilities that Ron's previous Nen Beasts didn't have.
The appearance of the fifth Nen Beast brought feedback to Ron, once again increasing his aura capacity.
Second, he had established contact with the royal family of Fiore.
The next place to absorb traits had been determined.
It was the Kingdom of Fiore.
He planned to create a Nen Beast using those traits.
After learning about the Nen users of the Fiore royal family, Ron had some guesses about his sixth Nen Beast. It was very likely to be similar to a Dragon Slayer Mage from a particular show he remembered.
Third, was the evolution of the Rotten Life Blade.
After absorbing enough "Ned after Death," the Rotten Life Blade evolved once again.
It was still in slumber now.
However, Ron believed that when the Rotten Life Blade awakened, it would undoubtedly become much stronger than before.
"Something to look forward to~!"
At the Sky Arena.
Following Ron's instructions, Nina found a girl named Selena.
A young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
She was completely different in style from Juliana.
Juliana had a strong build and powerful muscles—a figure like a devilishly fit woman. In contrast, Selena was no different from an ordinary teenage girl.
However, Nina could sense the power within Selena's body.
There was no aura of Nen.
She hadn't opened her aura nodes to become a Nen user yet.
But she showed very good potential.
Nina didn't approach her but just took a glance and then looked away.
"I didn't expect Senior Juliana to pass away so early."
"She was still so young."
Nina sighed.
She now had a clearer understanding of the dangers in the world of Nen users.
"This is why Big Brother doesn't let us go out and only wants us to stay in the Sky Arena."
"There are dangers here too."
"People die here as well."
"But compared to other areas where Nen users are active, this place is much safer."
"I need to work harder."
Nina clenched her fists.
"I can't hold Big Brother back for too long."
"Sister Shizuku is catching up quickly."
Shizuku started learning Nen later than Nina, but her progress was very rapid.
Because Shizuku was older than Nina.
Naturally, the energy in her body was more than what Nina had when she first started learning Nen.
That's certain.
An adult's life energy, excluding other factors, is inevitably more than that of a child.
Therefore, Shizuku would inevitably catch up.
Nina shouldn't compare herself to Shizuku in that way.
Instead, she should compare herself to others of the same age.
According to Ron's estimation, the height Nina could reach in the future should be better than Shizuku's.
Her special experience as a "Synth Beast."
And Ron's personal teaching.
In the Sky Arena, Nina could build a very solid foundation.
----------------------------
In Horuen City.
The disappearance of the monsters wasn't noticed by many.
Nen users are far ahead of ordinary people in every aspect.
Even though they live in the same planet, it often feels like two different worlds.
The small courtyard that Ron and the others had rented before welcomed new tenants.
However, before the new tenants moved in, those things had already been stolen by others—neighbors who planned to use those tools to make the same pancakes that Dominica had made.
Rumours about Ron and the other two spread in the slums.
"Those three were really weird. Coming and going so quickly"
