Lucky for us, we were able to make it out of the Church without any problems. Usually, when someone takes a Portal to another city, they would have to go through customs once more to make sure they did not sneak in any illegal goods into their storage space that were undetected during their departure. Since I have not taken a portal in ten years I did not know that those affiliated with the Adventurers Guild did not have to go through customs. Apparently, it is because the Adventurers Guild is affiliated with the Church, Adventurers are exempt from customs. It was some written law that was passed about five years ago. 

A community bus came to pick us up from the church building. As it sped off into the distance, I take a quick glance at the Church building. It was an enormous cathedral built during the Dark Era as a symbol of hope. It had stone gargoyles decorating its pillars. On each gargoyle chest was a glowing gold mana stone. In the center of the Church exterior were cement arches enclosing a colorful mural which glowed as brightly as all the lights in the city. The mural depicted a female holding a staff in one hand and a book in the other. A golden halo floated above her head and her auburn hair flowed down to the waist of her green Chruch robe. She was the creator of the Church, Pope Iris von Chatelier. She was said to have disappeared when the demons raided the East Continent during the Dark Era according to the record of the Church but others believe she ascended to godhood. The truth is, no one knows what happened on the day she disappeared. What's really bothering me is why the System's AI is named Iris. How was she connected to the Dark Era and Iris von Chatelier? Was she Iris? If that's true then why? 

Questions flooded into my mind as this all felt too strange. Besides me, I saw Rishi knocked out. He was slouched and his head was bent a full ninety degrees. His glasses were lopsided and he was snoring loudly. On my shoulder, Hatsu was also asleep snoring just as loudly as Rishi. 

Those two... I internally laughed while gazing out into the scenery.

Shorelock was just a bigger version of Greenfield and it has not changed since I left it. The lively city life cheers erupting from the battles in the Colosseum, cars on the highway honking at each other. It was the same place I knew. 

With nothing to do, I opened the Hero Game System.
