Yale was a bit surprised by Lina's sudden hug, but he attributed it to the happiness she felt after having closed the deal.

It was normal to be happy after closing that kind of deal as long as one liked training to turn stronger, so Lina's behavior wasn't too weird from Yale's point of view.

Moreover, since both of them were used to be close to each other and were faking a relationship, Yale didn't care about it too much.

Anyway, Yale didn't dislike being hugged by Lina especially if no one saw them. After all, since they were quite friendly to each other as long no one saw them, they wouldn't feel too embarrassed.

"Sorry, I was too excited."

Lina stopped hugging Yale when she said those words, but she noticed that Yale didn't care at all, which made her happy.

Although usually the deal they made was usually only done by couples, there wasn't any rule that forced them to be a real couple to do it. It was just that since both parties should have similar power for the exchange to be effective and also required great trust, it was difficult to do it with someone who wasn't a lover.

Using such a method with someone far weaker would be bad for the one with less power. After all, it wasn't good for the development of the soul obtaining everything without any hardship.

Thus, it wasn't usual that siblings or parents taught everything directly, which led everyone to consider that it was only done by couples.

Of course, Yale knew about that, but he didn't care at all about what the others thought, and since everyone should think that they were a couple, there wouldn't be a problem even if he cared.

In fact, Yale's opinion of Lina improved a lot after he saw how much Ange liked Lina. Since Yale recovered his memories, he had been feeling guilty about Ange, so he was happy that Ange found a motherly figure.

Yale didn't think that Lina had any romantic interest on him, but even if she had, he wouldn't be too annoyed by it like before. Although Yale wasn't in love with Lina nor anyone else at that moment, at least he had a better impression of Lina compared to the impression he had of other girls.

There were a lot of beautiful and powerful women in the universe, but it couldn't be the same of women that Ange liked enough to consider her mother despite not having any relationship.

Yale cared a lot about his family, and the happiness of his daughter was one of his priorities, so the fact of being liked by Ange was a critical factor on how Yale evaluated women.

They didn't speak more about the teaching topic as they still wanted to rescue the rest of people first. The teaching exchange wouldn't be quick at all, so it was better to solve the urgent matters first.

Since Yale didn't plan to bother too much with Ronragruk as he seemed to have settled with the Dragon Race in a new location and lived happily there, his main target was the other group.

He wanted to visit Ronragruk later to speak with him and announce everyone that he was also protecting the Dragon Race as he did on the Dwarf Kingdom, but there wasn't too much urge in doing it.

The other group of people was living in the capital of the Elven Kingdom, and they seemed to live very well.

The whole capital had a barrier to block the Spiritual Sense, so Yale was unable to find them previously, but at that moment such barrier couldn't block him at all, so he could see Nurvey, Mercer, Kaigur, and Merumi attending the Elven University. Nurvey even seemed to be a teacher instead of a student.

The two wolves were also in the capital and lived as the pets of the group. Although they were considered pets, they were strong, so no one had weird ideas about robbing them.

The Elves had a reputation of being quite racist, but they seemed to treat them very well, which didn't match with their reputation.

However, besides their group, the rest of the capital were all elves, so Yale believed that there was some truth behind the fame of the elves.

Yale and Lina spoke about it while reaching the Elven Kingdom and reached the conclusion that the Elven Kingdom discovered their background and didn't dare to be disrespectful with them.

After all, Nurvey was the granddaughter of Revgen, and Mercer and Merumi were Yale's disciples. Any of those identities were enough to make the Elven Kingdom treat them with respect.

Although the elves didn't like outsiders, they weren't fools who would chase out everyone disregarding their background because that was courting death.

The king of the Elven Kingdom had been the same since the elves reached the world, so he was deeply grateful with Yale's father, so he never tried to do something that would harm those related with the person who saved them by letting them live in that world.

Although he was called king, it was just for the formalities because there wasn't any royal palace, nor he meddled too much into the matters of the kingdom unless there was something very important.

The elves had the advantage of having a longer lifetime than humans, so they had an advantage due to having more time to train before death, which increased a lot the chances of becoming Law Masters.

The Elven Kingdom only had two Law Gods, which were the king and his wife, but in the western continent, they had the highest numbers of Law Masters.

The king of the Elven Kingdom was waiting outside the capital when Yale and Lina appeared there.

"Welcome to my Elven Kingdom. Formally, I am the king, but everyone calls me chief, and I don't like to meddle in politics too much."

The king knew that Yale and Lina were far stronger than him since he observed the announcement of the new Dwarf King. Thus, as long as the lives of his people weren't threatened, he didn't mind gifting the whole country to them.

After all, it wasn't like if he had any interest in being a king or rule others, it was just that since he was the strongest, he was appointed into that position to deter other countries from attacking.

Originally, he was the only Law God, and it wasn't until later that his wife became a Law God. When the elves started to live in that world the king's wife wasn't even born yet, so there was just one option for the king.

Moreover, they married when the king's wife wasn't a Law God yet, so it wasn't a political marriage to bring together the two strongest elves, they loved each other despite the age gap from the start.

Anyway, for those with unlimited lifespan, the age gap didn't matter at all, and the mortal elves usually cared less than others since they had more lifespan than other species.

The king felt a bit weird at the start because his wife was the daughter of his deceased friend, and at the start, it was like a daughter for him since he took care of her after his friend died. However, they lived together thousands of years, and after the girl insisted so much in that he loved him, the king finally noticed that she wasn't joking at all.

In fact, the king's wife was a reincarnation, and when she spoke about that to the king, it was easier for him to understand.

"We have come to find our friend that are living here. It seems that you took good care of them. I bet that you know my identity, and I tell you now that I have no interest in your kingdom. I will announce later that you are also under my protection because you helped my friends and disciples, but that is all."

Being under the protection of someone else wasn't too different than being serving others in reputation terms, but the king didn't mind at all. If it weren't because only the king and his wife were Law Gods, they would have liked to travel to other worlds and leave the kingdom behind, but they decided to wait for the sake of the safety of the rest. Thus, Yale's offer was great for them since they wouldn't need to worry so much as only a fool would anger the son of the world's creator who was also an Essence God.

"Thank you. Please follow me to my house. Right now, they are all in the university, and I sent someone to inform them to come to my house after they finish their lessons."

In the western continent, the Elven University was the best education center that one could find, so Yale decided to not disturb them since the lessons would finish after just a bit of time.

Yale was an awesome teacher, but he was only one person and couldn't always be beside his students, so he felt grateful for the change the Elven Kingdom gave to them in the Elven University.

Especially for Mercer and Merumi that were his disciples, Yale believed that it should have been a great experience.

Moreover, they were quite young compared to the rest of the group that traveled with Yale, so they were also the ones who needed help the most.
