Natasha patted his shoulder cheerfully: "No need for formalities, Li Ang. There's no need for formalities between us in the law enforcement team."

Elena stood at the cabin door, her silver hair swaying gently in the morning breeze.
She nodded to Li Ang, the confusion of that night gone from her eyes, replaced by a more determined light: "Looking forward to walking side by side again, Captain Li Ang."
"Definitely," Li Ang replied with a smile.
Just as the airship was about to close its hatch, a series of crisp and hurried footsteps sounded.
"Wait for me!"
Sandramea, dressed in a practical leather outfit with a royal cloak draped over it, jogged over, surrounded by a group of royal guards.
Her face was flushed from running, but her bright green eyes remained clear.
"Thank goodness I made it!" she exclaimed, waving vigorously at the airship that was about to take off.
"Friends, have a safe journey! Ironforge will always remember your help!"
The airship doors closed slowly, and one by one they took off amidst the hum of their engines, eventually becoming two black dots and disappearing into the clouds in the direction of the Thunder Mountains.
After seeing off the support team, Maya visibly breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and looked at Li Ang and the others, a lively smile that was rare for her age these past few days.
"Alright, now that they've left, it's time to talk about our affairs." Maya placed her hands on her hips and announced, "My coronation ceremony will be held in one week!"
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled and offered their congratulations, as this was exactly what they had expected.
"At that time," Maya's gaze swept over Li Ang, as well as Olivia, Helena, Ludick, Elisa, Miguel, Remus, Captain Eric, and Gwen behind him.
"Li Angqing, as my chief knight, and along with your fellow members of the enforcement team, you will all accompany me to the coronation ceremony as one of the Ten Knights."
She paused, then waved her small hand and said, "This is a big deal. The formal attire cannot be taken lightly. I have already instructed the best tailors in the palace to have the dresses made in the next few days. Come on, let's go take your measurements now!"
So, Li Ang and his group, who had just bid farewell to their comrades, hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath before the enthusiastic Maya dragged them to the palace's tailor workshop.
The workshop was brightly lit and filled with the unique scents of new fabrics and leather.
The walls were covered with fabrics of all kinds of textures, from thick wool to silk with a pearly sheen.
A dozen or so focused dwarf tailors and their assistants were already waiting there, holding measuring tapes, ready to go.
"Listen up, everyone!" Maya announced to the tailors like a little commander.
"Each of them is made to the highest standard of knightly attire; the materials and craftsmanship are absolutely meticulous!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tailors nervously surrounded him, pairing up to serve the "knights".
As the chief knight, Li Ang received the most solemn treatment.
Two tailors, who appeared to be the most senior and had meticulous expressions, stood on either side of him.
The cool, soft measuring tape was pressed against his shoulders, arms, and back, precisely measuring the dimensions of each part.
A tailor also carefully checked the position and height of his usual sword to ensure that the sword belt design on his dress was both dignified and easy to move in.
Li Ang obediently raised his arm, turned around, and felt like a work of art being meticulously sculpted.
Olivia, Helena, Elisa, and Gwen, the four female team members, were led to an area separated by an exquisite screen, where several female dwarf tailors were responsible for taking their measurements.
Although in Li Ang's eyes, they were no different from male dwarves.
Even through the screen, you could faintly hear them whispering about details such as the style of the skirt and the waistline.
But soon, Olivia behind the screen showed great impatience with this tedious procedure.
When a tailor tried to measure her waist with a soft measuring tape, her red, vertical pupils widened in impatience, and she muttered irritably, "Measuring like this is such a hassle. Can't you just make something that's wearable?"
In the end, only after Li Ang's reassurance did she manage to suppress her temper and allow the tailors to carefully complete their work.
With her hands behind her back, Maya strolled contentedly through the workshop, her emerald eyes sparkling, occasionally making a request: "Li Angqing's cloak must be the deepest blue, like the background color of the night sky!"
"Olivia's dress needs to leave plenty of room in the shoulders and arms; she moves around quite freely."
"Helena's collar could be adorned with some tiny moonstones, which would suit her style perfectly."
After quite some time, the meticulous measurement work was finally completed.
Li Ang stretched his stiff shoulders, feeling that this required more patience than facing a battle.
After measuring her body data, Maya left the workshop; as the new queen, she had too many things to handle.
Li Ang and his colleagues in the law enforcement team enjoyed a rare moment of leisure, since making the formal wear was the tailor's job, and they only needed to wait.
With the crisis in Ironforge resolved and the threat of the Dark Wizards temporarily abated, their long-tense nerves can finally be relaxed.
Seeing that the team members had nothing to do, Li Ang ordered that, provided that safety was guaranteed and no trouble was caused, everyone could move around freely and enjoy the local customs and culture of Ironforge.
Olivia naturally went into those glittering glass craft shops again. Maya had already given prior notice that everything she took should be put on a bill, and the palace would handle the settlement later.
Helena and Ludick went together to the Library of Ancestors, hoping to find more records about the Titans and the Underworld.
Captain Eric, along with the members of the Eighth Squad, assisted the Royal Guard Division in some routine patrols, which also served as a way for them to familiarize themselves with the dwarven military system.
Meanwhile, Li Ang, along with Nelson, once again arrived at the commercial street located in the noble district.
The five precision steel needles he ordered should have been completed several days ago, but he was delayed by various things and couldn't pick them up.
This needle is crucial; it's the key to whether his envisioned "targeted tissue regeneration agent" will be effective.
Without a syringe capable of precisely delivering the medication to specific tissues, even the most miraculous drugs would struggle to repair Elisa's completely necrotic optic nerve and eye structure.
Guided by a dwarf maid named Lina, whom Maya had assigned to him, Leon quickly found the metal craft shop.
The shopkeeper, the old dwarf with a thin braided beard, clearly remembered the customer who had been personally accompanied by the princess.
