Chapter 600 - 598: Blessing

"What? Issues at the border?"

The suddenly appearing elf was panting and pale-faced.

Clearly, he had run back to the city to hear about the Elf King bringing people along and then made his way here.

Elven Royal City had previously been blocking the Star Spirit Network, affecting everyone nearby, and only at a distance could messages be conveyed.

Hence, the border didn’t send messages explaining the situation to the Elf Royal City but chose to record it and send someone to deliver it specially.

With direct evidence, meeting the Elf King would be more persuasive.

The message-delivering elf caught his breath and took out the Memory Crystal.

"Your Majesty, please look at this."

One of the Elf King’s guards stepped forward, took the Memory Crystal, activated it with magic power, and projected the recording into the air in front.

When seeing the Law Enforcement Knight Order using a method similar to Elina’s skill to separate the pollution and then purify it, everyone’s faces changed.

Elina was also stunned.

"This... This is impossible!"

Candia blurted out.

"Isn’t this life magic that only elves blessed by the Elf God can use?"

The Elf King glanced at her and then at Elina, asking, "Elina, can you tell the difference between this magic and the life magic you use?"

Elina shook her head: "Just by looking at the recorded image, I can’t tell, but life magic that can separate pollution and activate purification skill works on the same principle, even if not identical."

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other.

The message-delivering elf said, "According to the investigation by the commander, this human woman using life magic appears to be a Holy Daughter candidate from the Holy Court."

"Holy Daughter candidate?" Everyone showed an understanding expression.

"No wonder, apparently it’s not just elves who receive the attention from the Gods; humans have too... But why is she using the life magic unique to the Elf God?"

"No, it’s not unique to our Gods," Louis shook his head, "Besides the Elf God, there’s also the God of Life and Death who can use life magic."

"This..."

"Let’s go inside first. Law Enforcement Knight Order hasn’t entered the elf territory yet, so let’s not worry about them. Handling the source of pollution is more important." The Elf King led the way into the camp.

...

On the other side.

Hilia left a letter, intentionally annoying that Elf Elder, and felt quite good.

Walking through the gray mist-filled Elf Forest, she was contacting Benovia over there, inquiring about the situation.

Benovia said, "Currently, the situation is manageable, we’ve curbed the spread of pollution. I’m cooperating with the Law Enforcement Knight Order to see if we can research a way through arrays or something else that lets me break free from one place and assist elsewhere."

"Elsewhere?" Hilia was surprised.

Benovia nodded: "The Gods gave me insight; this pollution calamity might affect the Star Spirit Forbidden Land, possibly stirring up pollution within it, creating a disaster sweeping the entire world. I need to go and see."

"I see."

Hilia couldn’t help but glance at Rose beside her and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Rose, do you have any other plans?"

Rose smiled slightly: "Of course, preventing the pollution from spreading to the Star Spirit Forbidden Land, thereby triggering the pollution there, is also a critical part of stopping the pollution."

Hilia frowned, "Pollution broke out in the north of the Elf Forest, near the Istara border and the Star Spirit Forbidden Land. Isn’t this the Dusk Sect making trouble deliberately?"

Rose chuckled lightly: "Who knows."

While speaking with Rose, Hilia continued conversing with Benovia.

Benovia asked, "Hilia, how are things on your side?"

Hilia didn’t hold back: "I made a special trip to the source of pollution and got some intel: the pollution source is a zone buried thousands of meters underground, filled with numerous demons..."

After describing the specific situation, she said: "But the Elf Royal Family and Elf Elders are quite unpleasant; they are planning to take over, so I left."

Melina’s voice came from nearby.

"Elf Royal Family? Elf Elders?"

"Yeah, don’t worry, Ms. Melina, I didn’t reveal my identity; they still think I’m a mixed-blood elf."

Fortunately, mixed-blood elves exist, making it impossible for elves to distinguish same-race by aura.

Otherwise, Hilia felt her journey in the Elf Forest would be impossible.

"Tell me, what exactly have the Elf Royal Family and Elf Elders done?" Melina curiously asked.

Hilia pondered for a moment and chose to divulge the discrimination by the Elf Royal Family and the arrogance of the Elf Elders.

Benovia frowned: "Elves have become like this, yet still so arrogant. No wonder a simple pollution issue couldn’t be resolved for so long. In the end, it exploded with one breath, harming everyone. Truly detestable."

Hilia said: "I’m now heading to other Elf Cities to see what has become of them. The arrogance of the Elf Royal Court and Elders ultimately punishes ordinary people. How cruel."

Melina cautioned: "Be careful. Though the elves’ strength is recognized as the weakest on the continent, it’s not to be underestimated. Your fourth-tier strength is enough for self-defense but not for rampant behavior in the Elf Forest. Be cautious; if things look bad, just run, understand?"

"Got it, I venture out often; it’s not so easy to get into trouble." Hilia winked.

She’s not afraid to raise flags.

Because Rose is there.

She will be the safest person in the world.

Even if venturing deep into secret territories, she’ll safely leave in the end.

After chatting with Benovia and Melina, Hilia cut off the connection and stretched her body.

"Ah, I’m exhausted. Let the Elf Royal Family tire themselves next; I just wonder if Elina will be sent for exploration. If she does, there might be some danger."

Elina has life magic power, and the demons made of pollution also carry life elements. For them, Elina would be like a firefly seeing a candle flame, perhaps more attracted than Hilia.

However, Hilia thought, Elina’s temperament shouldn’t lead her to rush into danger easily.

After all, she prefers unraveling mysteries over fighting monsters.

Having left the pollution source, without immediate directives from Rose, Hilia decided to go out and take a look.

The pollution had already entered the Istara border, meaning it also reached outside the Elf Forest, into the elves’ living areas.

She wanted to see how the elves outside were doing.

"Hopefully, it won’t be too problematic."

Hilia looked at the slightly thinner pollution compared to inside the Elf Forest and sighed softly.
