Chapter Fifteen

Loya suddenly turned his head, looking at Vina with surprise and doubt: "The reason you are willing to join forces with me and put aside your previous grudges is actually to borrow my inscription power, right?"

He had actually believed Vina's previous "righteous and awe-inspiring" attitude, thinking that Vina was unconcerned with trivial matters.

In retrospect, he was naive.

Vina is indeed unconventional, but she's not exactly "righteous and awe-inspiring."

Vina remained unfazed: "That's only one reason. My main reason is that I can't bear to see my comrades kill each other. Our only enemy is the evil dragon Sophia."

Loya said meaningfully, "That's not important."

He casually changed the subject: "Although we are comrades, it is only right that we help each other. However, engraving inscriptions requires a lot of tools, and I am penniless right now, so you elven tribes can only take them."

To be honest, he was a little excited.

Although this elven tribe is not powerful, it has a large population and a long history. It must possess many valuable treasures.

For example, forest elves have a special product: the sap of the Tree of Life, which is a great thing for healing wounds.

Of course, for Loya, this thing can also be used as the main material for [Elementary Wizard Inscription: Healing].

Additionally, there's a basic-level sorcery inscription: Plant Affinity, which is also useful. This inscription allows Loya to thrive in the forest.

Vina nodded: "If my people have it, and if what you've done is truly helpful for this voyage, then I will do my best to fulfill your request."

Loya was satisfied: "Hmm, that's good."

...

Soon, they returned to their destination.

At this moment, Raffi was using the magic [Healing Spell] to heal Theo and the others.

Several elves took out small, pale gold bottles and sprayed them onto the wounded person's skin.

This two-pronged approach helped the Western European elves, who were almost unrecognizable, recover considerably from their injuries.

However, the Westerners were still uncomfortable. This was not only because they had a misunderstanding with Loya, which caused casualties among their people, but also because they were saddened, mentally broken, and unable to accept it.

It's not just that we're seeing Loya and Vina, the clan leader, return together now.

Their wounds are incurable; the radiation virus mixed in with Loya's flames still lurks within their flesh and blood, constantly eroding their bodies and minds.

If the radiation virus is allowed to remain, the body that has now recovered will inevitably begin to decay again.

“What a vicious force.” Raffi’s face was grim.

“Well, to show our sincerity, I’ll help you recover their radiation,” Loya said to Vina. “That way, the injured will only have ordinary burns, and with the medical skills of your elven race, they can be easily cured.”

Vina nodded.

Loya's proximity to Xi'ou and his group displeased the surrounding elves, who ostracized him.

"Chief, what's going on?" Raffi asked.

The other elves also looked on, waiting for Vina to explain.

To be honest, if it weren't for Vina's past prestige, these elves would have really rioted.

Vina paused for two seconds before saying, "This is a misunderstanding, and we shouldn't compound it. Besides, he really is our comrade, so I've decided to join forces with him."

“But he killed our people,” Theo blurted out.

Loya cautioned, "This is your own fault. Please be rational and don't blame me for everything. Also, you can treat this collaboration as a deal. I will transform the ship into a supernatural artifact, greatly increasing its defense, speed, and attack power. When we set sail, we will surely rout the enemy. This will also reduce your casualties."

Loya concluded: "In short, this is more beneficial than harmful for you."

The elves were also conflicted upon hearing this.

Loya concluded by saying, "You can continue to resent me, I don't care. However, during our cooperation, I hope you won't deliberately target me."

A subtle, alluring attraction emanated from Loya's belly.

The residual radiation viruses from all directions were absorbed.

This also included the radiation virus in the bodies of these injured people in Western Europe.

The departure of the radiation virus made Western Europeans feel much more comfortable.

Actually, the nearby plants are much more comfortable too.

Radiation viruses are highly destructive and have a long-lasting effect.

If the radiation virus is not eliminated, the surrounding land will be contaminated and turned into strange and terrible places.

Vina said loudly, "That's it. Now, in the name of the clan leader, I order you to put aside your grudges. Those who disobey my elves will be punished. I hope you will restrain yourselves and not force me."

Vina was very tough, and in doing so, she took all the blame upon herself, giving the elves a way out.
