Chapter 134 Sylvia's Visit
Upon opening the door, a graceful figure came into his view.
"Sylvia?"
A confused expression surfaced on his face, not knowing why Sylvia had come.
He would have understood if it was Shelsea or Kane, but not Sylvia or anyone from their group.
Sylvia was also a beauty. She has a gentle and cute face paired with blonde curly hair.
Although she was not as beautiful as Shelsea or Teacher Christie in his eyes, Sylvia still has her own charm that might be as valuable as Shelsea's and Teacher Christie's charms on the right onlooker.
Looking at the young and gorgeous Sylvia, Lucas turned his gaze behind her but did not notice anyone accompanying her.
Sylvia nodded her head gently with a smile.
"Is something wrong?" He asked.
He could not help but recall the matter regarding the bandits he killed earlier.
Sylvia shook her head this time.
"No. I just had something to do near the area, so I thought of visiting you while I'm still here."
Hearing that, Lucas let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that no one has truly seen him murder those two earlier after all.
Although it was all self-defense, getting convicted would still put some shame on an abiding citizen like him.
"Come in, come in," he beckoned with a warm smile for her to come inside.
Sylvia hesitated for a bit before she eventually entered.
"Alright!"

"Have you had dinner yet? You're just in time; I was just about to have one."
Sylvia shook her head. She then handed out the box she had been holding since earlier and said, "I figured that maybe you haven't eaten yet, so I set aside some of the dinner I made earlier."
Lucas' eyes lit up upon hearing her words.
Sylvia was also a good cook. Lucas would not decline such a gesture, so he received it gently with a huge smile on his face.
"Thank you! You didn't have to go through such trouble."
Seeing that he appreciated her gesture, a sweet smile blossomed on Sylvia's face as she said, "Don't mention it."
She then paused as if recalling something.
"Right, the lower box is for Spot."
Upon hearing his name, Spot immediately craned his neck. He somehow understood what Sylvia was implying as he trotted toward Lucas right after she said those words.
Woof!
He barked softly toward her, as if he were showing his appreciation for the food.
To that, Sylvia just smiled gently.
Opening the box, Lucas realized that it was actually buttered Ironbeak Chicken.
Ironbeak Chicken was an Unranked Grade-Unranked beast.
They were not overly aggressive, and they could be raised by even mundane humans. Their meat was tender, and their egg was as big as a fist. Ever since the original chickens went extinct, the Ironbeak Chicken was one of the few variants that appeared and replaced the role of chickens.
There were also such chickens in Twilight City. The Ironbeak Chicken was one of the few chicken meats that his mother would cook every once in a while.
Aside from Ironbeak Chicken, there were also other Unranked Beasts that domesticated and became livestock. The Ironbeak Chicken was just one of them.
Lucas then offered Sylvia a plate so that she could eat as well.
She wanted to decline at first, saying that she was already done eating. However, after hearing that Lucas had cooked dinner as well, she finally agreed in a reluctant manner after a few moments.
Hit by nostalgia, Lucas ate the Buttered Ironbeak Chicken without saying a word.
Sylvia was also enjoying her meal.
Lucas had cooked an eggplant omelet. The egg was not that of Ironbeak Chicken but from another variant. He bought it from the market a few days ago when he went shopping for groceries.
Like the two of them, Spot was also enjoying his food a great deal.
Unfortunately, the Ironbeak Chicken was just a low-grade and low-ranking beast. No matter how much of such beasts he consumed, there was no way for him to receive a boost from them at all.
Sometime later, the three of them finally finished having dinner.
Sylvia insisted that she washed the plates, so Lucas just allowed her to do so.
"Right, did you hear any news from Kane or your captain?"
He was still waiting for the weapons, kitchen tools, and utility tools he commissioned to get finished.
It was Kane who volunteered to do the errand, but Shelsea also promised that she could find another shop that might be selling or was crafting what he needed for a low price.
"Regarding that, Kane has already commissioned one of their personal blacksmiths, and it should be done in a few days. As for Sister Shelsea, I don't really know about her situation, but I have seen her asking her acquaintance about your matter."
Lucas nodded his head. If it was already being worked on, then the only thing that he needed to do was to wait.
"Right, how about you? Have you found the location of your previous city yet?" Sylvia asked after recalling the fact that Lucas was not from Serene City.
Having been reminded of that, Lucas shook his head regretfully and was a little depressed.
"It's hopeless!"
"Hopeless? Why?" Sylvia tilted her head in confusion.
In truth, she was also curious about the city that he came from. The technology and other products that Lucas mentioned were so marvelous that she would like to try them one by one if she ever had the opportunity to try them.
"Well, I just found out that my home, or rather, the closest city from Serene City to the outermost city of the Unity Alliance is around ten thousand kilometers."
"Not to mention the danger; even traveling that far is not something one could easily achieve."
Lucas took out a map from one of his drawers.
This map was something he had brought from the market in Serene City as well.
The map was not very detailed and big. It only consisted of the continent that they were on, and each place name was only marked by a rough and general estimate.
He then pointed at the area in the center of the map.
