The Skull Palace flew over Ironforge.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The sight of the Dwarves trembling in fear pleased Avira immensely.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Hmph, those Dwarves finally understand what true reverence means.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira leaned against the window.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her eyes gleamed with pride.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“How dare they point weapons at their little sister.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Truly reckless.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia curled up under the blanket.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She didn’t want to admit how intimidating her mother’s glare had been just now.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
That kind of absolute suppression from the level of the Law itself.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Mother, where is the next stop?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia asked quietly, hoping to avoid any more trouble.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“The edge of the Moonlit Forest,”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia replied coolly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“The territory of the Elven Tribe.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia’s heart tightened.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She had heard of the Elven Tribe.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Those folks were obsessed with appearances.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They especially liked to gather around beautiful things.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
With her current striking appearance, arriving in Elven territory would definitely mean becoming a spectacle once again.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Elves?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira’s eyes ignited with excitement.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Will those elves be more interesting than the Dwarves?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia wanted to say, please don’t be interesting.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
All she wanted now was to quietly reach Dawn City.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Half an hour later.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
An endless stretch of lush green forest appeared ahead.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ancient giant trees towered into the clouds, their canopies blocking out the sky.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The air was filled with a fresh, natural scent.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
This was the legendary Moonlit Forest.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira excitedly pounded on the window.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, look! Those trees are glowing!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia glanced down.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Indeed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Some of the ancient giant trees emitted a faint silver glow under the sunlight.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
These were the Life Ancient Trees cultivated by the Elven Tribe’s magic.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They were said to possess the power to purify evil.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Just as the Skull Palace approached the forest’s edge.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A group of black dots appeared in the distance.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Those dots rapidly approached, soon coming into clear view.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A squad of Elven Envoys riding Gryphons.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
At the front was an Elven Elder.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
His long silver-white hair fluttered in the wind.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He held a wooden box emitting a soft glow.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The other Elven Envoys followed behind.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Every face was etched with tension.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Oh?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira instantly perked up.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Little mice coming right to us on their own.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her hand already moved toward the sword hilt.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Blood-red eyes burning with a desire to fight.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, want to see fireworks?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’ll put on a big show for you!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia jumped in alarm.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, wait!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But Avira was already ready to strike.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Blood-colored energy began to gather around her.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Hold your temper.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia said calmly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira immediately stopped.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The blood-red glow vanished instantly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Why won’t you let me act?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira pouted in dissatisfaction.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Those elves clearly have ill intentions.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Let’s see what they want.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia’s voice remained steady.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
***
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Elven Envoy Group stopped about five hundred meters from the Skull Palace.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The leading Elven Elder bowed deeply.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Then he raised his voice:
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“To the honorable Queen of the Eternal Night Empire!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“The Elven Tribe of the Moonlit Forest expresses our highest respect!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
His voice carried clearly inside the palace.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia was surprised.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
These elves’ attitude was completely different from the Dwarves’.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
No hostility.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Only respect.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“We have prepared a small gift for Her Majesty the Queen and the two princesses!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Elven Elder continued shouting.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Please accept our humble token of sincerity!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
With that, he raised the wooden box high.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The box radiated a soft silver light.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
It contained something precious.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“What junk?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira said disdainfully.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“They’re definitely trying to bribe us.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But Ophelia showed a hint of interest.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Bring it over.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia’s voice reached the Elven Envoy Group.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Elven Elder breathed a sigh of relief.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He carefully flew closer to the Skull Palace.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Stopping about ten meters away.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“This is a drop of Primordial Sap from the Life Ancient Tree.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He said respectfully.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“It is the most precious treasure of our tribe.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A trace of surprise flashed in Ophelia’s eyes.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Primordial Sap of the Life Ancient Tree.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Indeed one of the Elven Tribe’s most treasured items.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Even they rarely used it themselves.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Why give this to us?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia asked.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A wry smile appeared on the Elven Elder’s face.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Your Majesty, the whole continent knows your great name.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Our Elven Tribe does not wish to oppose the Eternal Night Empire.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“This gift represents our sincerity.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
In other words, they didn’t want trouble.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia silently scoffed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
These elves were much smarter than the Dwarves.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They knew how to make peace rather than fight.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Mother, accept it.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia whispered.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She didn’t want to see her sister lose her mind and cut down all these elves.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia nodded.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
An invisible force pulled the wooden box toward her.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The box slowly opened.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Revealing what was inside.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A drop of crystal-clear liquid.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Exuding a strong life aura.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Countless tiny light points danced within the liquid.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Filled with wondrous power.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“So beautiful.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia couldn’t help but stare a little longer.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
At that moment.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Something strange happened.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The drop of Primordial Sap suddenly trembled.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Its glow grew even brighter.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Inside Sylvia’s body.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A certain power began to resonate faintly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A phantom white lotus flower flashed by her side.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The lotus appeared for less than a second.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But the aura it emitted was felt by everyone.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
It was not ordinary vitality.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But a deeper aura of the Law of “Creation.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Hm?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia blinked at the disappearing lotus.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
What was going on?
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She wasn’t even a plant-type mage.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Why would a lotus appear from her body?
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Elven Elder’s face changed drastically in the distance.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
His eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
That aura was familiar to him.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Creation Power on the level of Law.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The legendary power only the God of Creation was said to possess.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
And just now.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
This power had emanated from the blood clan’s little princess.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Impossible!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
How could the blood clan possibly wield the Creation Law?
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
That would completely contradict their nature!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But the fact was right before him.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Elven Elder’s worldview was shattered.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He felt his entire belief system being violently reshaped.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Blood clan little princess.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Possessing the Creation Law.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
If this news spread.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The entire continent would go mad.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Thank you for the Elven Tribe’s gift.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia’s voice interrupted his thoughts.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“You may withdraw.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Elven Elder regained composure and bowed deeply.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Grateful for Your Majesty’s grace.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Wishing you a safe journey.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He led the envoy group away swiftly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But the scene from moments ago still echoed in his mind.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
This news had to be brought back immediately!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
It might change the entire future of the Elven Tribe!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“They just ran off like that?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira looked disappointed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I thought we’d get a fight.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“So boring.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Just gift-giving and then leave.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia let out a breath of relief.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Finally, no bloodshed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
These elves were indeed smarter than the Dwarves.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They knew when to choose their battles.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Mother, what was that flower?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia couldn’t help but ask.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Don’t mind it.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Ophelia said lightly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Maybe it was some reaction of your body.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia nodded.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She didn’t press further.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She wasn’t interested in these mysterious things anyway.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
As long as it wasn’t something bad, it was fine.

A bit annoyed with Avira’s childish attitude
