Chapter 2: Preparation Before Going Out: Equipment Check

Hela blinked slightly, then said, “Considering the time, Your Majesty, you really have reached the age where you can go out and experience the world, but we still need the Grand Priestess’s approval.”

“I’ll talk to Linis about it. In fact, I plan to go find Linis right away to explain this,” Airael chuckled.

With that, they wrapped up their conversation.

Airael put off her training for the day and went off to speak with Linis.

Life Temple.

Upon learning Airael’s intention, Linis didn’t refuse.

In fact, Linis had been waiting for Airael to come to her with this matter.

They both knew some things were unavoidable.

Besides allowing Airael to go out and experience the world, Linis gave Airael several pieces of equipment.

Back in her room in the royal palace, Airael gleefully examined the gear Linis had given her.

The first piece of equipment was a gray magic cloak that enveloped Airael completely when she put it on.

But this gray magic cloak had more than just that effect.

Firstly, it greatly reduced the wearer’s presence, making it hard for anyone outside to notice her.

Secondly, at night, wearing this gray cloak while remaining still would render her invisible.

And not just to the eyes; even the nose couldn’t catch a whiff!

The second piece of equipment was a necklace adorned with emeralds.

It could alter Airael’s appearance.

For instance, if Airael wanted to venture into the human world, she could use the emerald necklace to transform her pointed ears to look just like human ears.

However, this gear had one drawback: the altered parts would emit some magical energy fluctuations that could easily be detected by those sensitive to magic.

But this flaw was not insurmountable; by wearing additional magical equipment on the changed parts, she could cover up those energy fluctuations.

Like, for example: the first piece of equipment, the gray magic cloak.

Besides that, there was the next piece of gear, the third magical item—a pair of heart-shaped ruby earrings.

With these magical earrings, even if Airael removed the gray magic cloak, others would simply think the magic fluctuations came from the earrings.

The two magical earrings formed a set that, in a critical moment, could create a spherical magic shield around Airael for protection.

This magic shield could withstand attacks from tenth-level combatants.

Even against eleventh-level foes, unless they were using all their power, it wouldn’t be easy to break through.

Of course, that would change with specialized anti-magic weapons.

But Linis had a counter for that too.

She had also prepared a piece of gold silk armor for Airael, which would protect her body from being harmed after the magic shield was breached.

Unfortunately, due to its size, the gold silk armor could only adequately protect her upper body.

Next was the final piece of equipment, Airael’s favorite— the storage ring.

Although the space was small, about ten cubic units, it was undoubtedly a precious item.

Storage rings are essential for adventurers!

With it, everything became much more convenient.

However, such equipment was also very rare in this world, with only a limited supply.

With these, plus the Staff of Eternity and Sword of Dawn Linis had previously given her, Airael could be considered a walking treasure trove.

Each item was enough to incite a crazy frenzy among people.

After tallying up these magical items, Airael decided to take them for a quick test run.

Naturally, there was no need to test the storage ring; she had already done that when Linis gave it to her.

The storage ring already bore her mark.

Unless someone killed her or managed to break it, no one else could use it.

After setting aside the storage ring, Airael first picked up the emerald necklace and put it on while looking in the mirror.

As she focused her mind, her pointed ears shimmered in golden magical light and turned into human-like ones.

Airael sensed the magical energy fluctuations emanating from her ears and promptly put on the second magical item, the ruby earrings.

With that, the two magical energies blended together, making Airael’s disguise appear seamless.

Unless someone was in the know, they would just think the magical fluctuations came solely from the ruby earrings, never suspecting her ears.

Satisfied, Airael nodded.

Not only did the magical effects of the two pieces fit her appearance and aura perfectly, but they also made her look even more stunning!

Now, all that remained were the gold silk armor and the gray magic cloak.

Regarding the gold silk armor, Airael took out the Sword of Dawn from the storage ring.

With a sharp swing, she struck the armor with the blade. Although the armor dented slightly, it bore no damage.

To be fair, while the Sword of Dawn wasn’t as exquisite as the Staff of Eternity, it was still a top-tier weapon.

Even though her skill level was just that of a seventh-level warrior, this achieved a significant experimental result.

“Oh, my treasure!” Airael exclaimed in awe.

Finally, only the gray magic cloak remained to be tested.

Putting on the gray magic cloak, Airael stealthily slipped out of her room and made her way towards the palace exit.

Using her knowledge of the palace, she successfully snuck outside without disturbing any royal palace guards or alerting the protective magic arrays.

At this, Airael felt a mix of joy and concern.

If someone else had a piece of gear like hers, couldn’t they sneak up on her without a sound?

Airael was totally overthinking it.

Such amazing gear was quite rare in the world.

She could possess it solely because of her noble status.

Thus, reincarnating truly is an art!

With a lucky start, she had so many great pieces of equipment, enough resources for her growth period.

Otherwise, she’d have to rely on slow, hard work to build her fortune little by little.

And the process wasn’t merely a struggle; it was a whole saga of challenges!

Though a hint of worry lingered in her heart, Airael knew that worrying wouldn’t change anything.

In the end, it would depend on whether she had enough vigilance and perception to notice any threats before they got too close, granting her the opportunity for a counterstrike.

With her traveling gear fully prepared, Airael soon gathered some money and clothes, embarking solo on her adventure for trial and growth.
