Chapter 236 Before the Journey
In the Lothern Noble Etiquette Classroom, the noise outside the street did not disturb the tranquility of the classroom.
One by one, the elf girls followed the dance teacher and danced. Even the crudest species could notice the coordination and elegance in their movements.
It is a breathtaking beauty.
The lively dance continues, the girls' eyes are blurred, and as the dance moves progress, the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness contained in the dance itself emerge.
The emerald green skirt flutters in the dance of spring, and the leaping green ivy composes a light music.
The lushness of the Oak of Time also lost some of its color in the face of this dance.
Silence and depth enveloped the dancers, as if the starry sky had descended here.
As if not satisfied with the perfection at the moment, the dance teacher's dance moves became more radical, performing the dance of summer with more intense enthusiasm.
The slightly cool room became hot, and this fire was burning in the hearts of all living beings.
The environment didn't change at all, but the dancers were already sweating profusely.
The students followed their teacher like puppets, performing the summer dance to perfection.
Burn marks appeared on the elf's body, but the pain did not stop it from dancing.
The dance of late autumn causes the green plants in the house to wither instantly and the elves to age abnormally, but aging cannot stop the dance that has already begun.
A light snow fell inside the house, and distorted shadows accompanied the dancers.
The soul and body are synchronized through the performance, and the dancers become a whole.
The leading dancer shouted devoutly and enthusiastically:
"Slannis!"
"Eighteen elves died."
"I remember that there were nineteen participants in the Green Leaf Family's etiquette class."
"Yes, we have found a survivor. The body was too old, and the wizard barely managed to restore the deceased's appearance, but the face of etiquette teacher Dani was not there."
Teclis's bewilderment did not last long. Lynch didn't care about his personal life at all, and the elves watching were not surprised.
The unusual movement farther away caught the mage's attention and also diverted Lynch's embarrassing gaze from the elf.
A patrolling Triton passed by the Archmage and reported the details. It seemed that the Triton had discovered a group of Slaanesh followers.
They performed a failed sacrifice.
But Lynch felt something was a little strange. These Slaanesh followers happened to choose the time when he was traveling to offer sacrifices.
If it were an ordinary lizardman, once he sensed the presence of a demon, he would definitely pursue the enemy until he was dead.
They are not as smooth as Lynch!
And these elf girls are all descendants of nobility.
Before they exposed themselves, no one knew that they were followers of Slaanesh. Only those cold-blooded people with special perception could see their true nature.
By then, all Asur could see was a lizardman who killed an innocent girl.
On the islands outside of Lothern, Daini hid her elven features and wore a veil to hide the mutation on the side of her face.
She looked like a human now, not an elf.
Unrest spread among the people as Asur's Tritons entered the trading area in droves, and all traders were severely interrogated.
Dani hid among the spice merchants to avoid being exposed.
Ulthuan is no longer her home, for her hidden identity has come to light.
The attempt to lure the cold-blooded beast had failed. Her master had promised that the beast would be aware of the sacrifice, but unusually it did not come to stop it.
This should have been a perfect opportunity to cause conflict, but the Tzeentch followers who were supposed to cooperate with her and lure out the Lizardmen inexplicably lost contact.
Doesn't "Eternal Watch" want to maintain its contract with "Eternal Dancer" anymore?
Dani didn't know the relationship between these gods, she had tried her best.
“Well done.”
On the Invisible Island, the Mirror God expressed his affirmation to the elven believers of Lothern, and used the connection to send a crystal mirror into the soul of the elf.
The 163rd year of Phoenix King Finubar is coming to an end. The Everqueen is about to begin her annual pilgrimage, and all elven heretics must be cautious.
In order to prevent important chess pieces from being eliminated by the Light of Isha, the Mirror God's Gift must be carried out with caution.
The Cold-Blooded Champion is an extremely sharp double-edged sword. The Mirror God has to admit that it cannot hold this sword and even almost loses its composure because of it.
But other ever-changing demon lords should not even think of making use of this chess piece which has such a huge impact.
Sasoril, the Eternal Watcher, wanted to incite war between the nations, but the Son of Fate was tired of the chaos.
The radical high elves will not gain political advantage, and the peaceful elven nobles will unite the will of Asur.
It's all written in the Mirror God's Book of Fate, and its cult will fill in the details.
"We made an oversight. When the Sea Guards were searching the entire city, an elven merchant ship broke through the blockade of the Sea Gate."
"The Phoenix King will not listen to your explanations. I just want results."
"The Triton's eagle ship clashed with it in the open sea, and we only got the body of a Kane assassin."
"There are no other Druzes on board?"
"No."
"Idiot! This is obviously a decoy, the really important character has already escaped!"
Lynch did not get involved in Asur's internal affairs, but before he returned to the embassy, Tigris hurriedly caught up with Lynch.
He detailed Triton's progress in tracking down the criminal, but did not want Lynch to help find the criminal.
Teclis made it clear to Lynch in a roundabout way that Ulthuan had become a place of trouble.
Some evil elves have surfaced, but more evildoers are still lurking behind the mystery.
Lynch had no intention of playing house with the elf, he planned to set off as soon as possible.
Teclis was supposed to go to the White Tower and take over as the "Supreme Mage" of the White Tower, but he has no interest in doing so now.
The two returned to the Coldblood Embassy, settled the Thoros army, and asked the Eternal Queen's maid to supervise the embassy visitors. Then they took Sorian and Eugen to the dock.
Le Ding returned to the White Tower to report on his work. Perhaps the next time they meet will be decades later.
Time has no meaning to these immortal species, but Eugen will most likely not live to that time.
Teclis returned the Crown of War to Saphire, taking only the Scroll of Hoeth, the magic sword he had forged, and the Staff of the Moon, which he needed to sustain his life.
Lynch's star map has been lit up by 30%, and the next destination is Albian Island.
It is located in the northeast corner of Ulthuan, like a shining pearl, separating the Vast Ocean from the Chaos Sea and the Sea of Claws.
The Chaos Sea between the Northern Wasteland and the Norse Peninsula is full of strange rumors.
The Claw Sea between the Norsca Peninsula and the Old World Empire separates the Island of Albion from the civilized world with its violent waves.
It is close to the Norse Peninsula and is full of countless mysterious legends.
Lynch must first arrive in Bretonnia to return John's armor and sword, and then turn northwest to Albion.
Since there was no suitable guide, Lynch planned to find a shrine of the Lady of the Lake and send John's relics into the temple.
