With his spirit sense, Emery could tell the crowd of people who came were led by the Quintins, but just to make sure, Emery still wished to see what they were coming here for this time.
Emery opened a [Spatial Gate], this time with his massive spirit force increase, he was able to send all six of them together and returned to the village.
For the last three months, Emery spent his time hole up in the Khaos space, and he had not returned to the fey village at all during that time. Within such a short period of time, he noticed many changes, some of which could be seen at a single glance.
Near the huts, he could see some tools made of iron and bronze, most of them damp cleaning utensils, implying they were about to start cooking. Some villagers started to wear colorful clothes and others carried rolls of colorful fabric.
It appeared the trading with Venta had been successfully established and was going well.
He leaned back on a tree to wait for them and observe his surroundings. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Gwen talking casually with the villagers. They circled around Gwen and watched her with interest.
Emery knew her since childhood, thus, he had seen how much of a fast learner she was. For her to speak fluently after three months seems something amazing but unusual, but he was surprised to see how it was the villagers who started speaking in slightly broken Briton.
Chief Brennus who notice this approached him and said.
"The girl has been teaching language to the villagers. They like her very much."
Gwen was interacting with the people just like any normal girl would. Both old and young villagers listened to her and occasionally smiled, a hint they were having a good time. Witnessing the scenes somehow warmed Emery's heart.

One of the village warriors came by and notified them of the Quintins' presence. The villagers thanked Gwen and stood up to start preparing for a welcoming party.
Not wanting to be left out, Gwen decided to help. She followed the villagers a bit deeper into the forest.
She came back alongside the fey sisters and each of them carried a bowl of fruits and vegetables. They sat near a flat rock and used the rock as a makeshift table to cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces.
The sight of them having fun together was unusual for Emery.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts, he didn't notice the girl had caught him staring.
"Hey! Don't just stand there, come here and help!"
Emery was a bit startled and he could only respond with a blank stare.
Gwen gave him a mischievous smile and asked. "Is this chore too far below, oh Great Wizard?"
"No, of course not, I'll help."
She gave him a knife and the two proceeded to cut fruits together. Overall, it was quite a weird experience for Emery.
Then It gets even weirder as Morgana suddenly approaches next to him and grabbed a few fruits herself. With her quick, deft hands, she managed to cut quite a few in a short time.
"… Morgana… I don't think it's supposed to be cut in a square shape…"
The red-haired girl was really talented when it came to fighting with daggers, but when it came to food, the best thing to describe her was… something else.
He heard a chuckle and stared at Gwen, who laughed so hard at him and Morgana both. Emery once again was captivated by the sight of her smile before he turned away and tried to think of something else.
An hour passed, filled with their laughter and jokes. The guests started to come into teh village. As Emery's spirit sense saw, they really were the Quintins, coming to bring trade as promised. In front of the group, Luna herself helped lead the workers and mercenaries.

But Emery was not concerned about that. He was more surprised to see that Luna came along with a golden knight. It was Sir Gawain, Arthur's trusted knight, and one of Logress' golden knights.
Emery tried to discreetly glance at Gwen. He thought she would try to run away and hide from the knight, but to his surprise, she stayed put.
"They will know sooner or later, won't they, Emery?"
"That's right." Emery answered matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, but with you here, I have nothing to worry about right?" Gwen smiled and teased him.
Emery decided not to humor her with a comment and stood up before walking towards the two.
Just as he predicted, the golden knight was quite shocked to see the princess of the Lioness kingdom standing amongst the fey villagers.
"Did you come here with news from Arthur?" Emery asked.
"I actually came by the command of the Divine Order."
"The Order is looking for me?" Emery looked at him, interested. "Why don't they just use the bird?"
"Actually, I was tasked to find the young silver knight, Lanzo."
Emery stared at him, a little bit startled, but he managed to keep his calm. Gawain didn't seem to notice and he continued.
"I have been tracking his lineage and I traced him back to Miss Quintin, and considering the rumors about Lanzo's involvement in the…" Gawain glanced towards Gwen for a moment before continuing. "The incident in the Lioness palace, I came to the conclusion that you and Sir Lanzo are the same person. I wonder if I am right with this conclusion?"
Emery had figured out that it might come to this and he nodded calmly. "Yes, you are right: I am Lanzo. What do you need, Gawain?"
Gawain took out a scroll case sealed with a golden seal and gave it to Emery. Emery looked at the seal for a second before he opened and read the letter.
'Sir Lanzelot Dulat, with your impressive display at last year Tournament, along with your role to defend the king of Lioness at the battle against the Cantiaci Kingdom, we the Knights of Divine Order have agreed to welcome you to be part of the golden knight circle.'
'–Signed, Knight Commander Owain'
Gawain nodded at Emery. "Congratulations. Just like every year, next month another tournament will be held. You are requested to come and receive the honor."
Gwen, who has been listening in, quickly realized the purpose of Gawain's presence. She congratulated Emery for the achievement. After all, being chosen as a golden knight was a great honor.
Emery folded the parchment, gave it back to Gawain, and said.
"I am sorry Sir Gawain, I won't be coming next month, nor the years after, i am not interested with the title"

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing, you know? There’s so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses to make my next lives more interesting. “What kills me only makes me stronger!” Or something like that. Honestly, it feels like I’m stuck in an RPG. The difficulty setting can be pretty ridiculous too. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth in frustration as I die an ignoble death. But I won’t complain. Even when it’s dangerous and painful, I love life. This is all an opportunity; I’ll do my best, no matter what kind of sadistic fate the System throws at me. I will swing the warhammer of justice! Craft and enhance the most amazing artifacts! Overwhelm opponents with a barrage of auto-casting spells! Lead powerful vassals in Domain wars! All for the sake of creating an eternal sanctuary. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I’ll even become strong enough one day to overturn fate… or at least find out what the hell is really going on. It might take a few hundred or a thousand lifetimes, but what’s the rush? I have all the time in the world now. (Note: R15+ This is the work of a very inexperienced author with a full time job.

When the world was on the brink in the 1940s a group of men and women with uncommon ability pulled the world from the brink.

By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible. Everyone thought the days of vigilantes were done but presidential candidate Richard Hughes, riding a wave of populism, has promised to bring these men and women into the light and empower them to keep us all safe. The passing of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act changes everything. All teenagers feel like they don’t fit in at times. Ryaan Asfour knows the feeling well.
