Chapter 426: Former Traitor

The High Elf before him looked like a 23- or 24-year-old human. Since High Elves had twice the lifespan, she should be around 40 years old.

As for looks, High Elves all had delicate features. Link felt that she was pretty. She wore the dark green robe with golden designs that High Elf Magicians wore. Her forehead was adorned with a leafy frontlet that High Elves loved. Her power aura was fleeting but very obscure. It should be around Level-9.

This meant that this young High Elf was somehow a Level-9 Nature Magician.

Even if the Mana density had been rising and it was easier for Magicians to level up, Level-9 was still very high. As far as Link knew, even the High Elf Queen hadn’t reached the Legendary level.

So this was definitely someone in the upper class of the High Elves. But why would someone like that come to steal his notes?

Link didn’t want to believe it.

Whether it was from the queen and Princess Milda’s personalities or the High Elves in the game, this was a proud and restrained race. They might do some small tricks, but they would only do so when they couldn’t reach their goal with regular tactics. Usually, they would exchange fairly.

If the High Elves gave Link a magic book in exchange for his notes, he would definitely agree. Milda had also said that she always carried Legendary magic books with her. This meant that the High Elves had sufficient Legendary knowledge.

If they could use regular methods to get it, why would they steal it? Wouldn’t they lose all dignity if discovered?

Link didn’t understand, so he didn’t hurry out. He just watched from the shadows.

Below the lighthouse, the High Elf picked up the magic book and read carefully. At first, she was very serious. After a while, her brows knitted. She stabbed forward with her hands and light appeared, burning the book to dust.

She looked up and said to the air, “The book is fake. I’m sure you came, right? Stop hiding and come out.”

There was no point in hiding anymore. Link walked out of the shadows. He stopped around 100 feet away and said, “I don’t understand.”

The woman sneered. “You are just a lowly human. Three thousand years ago, you were still our slaves. Mundane blood flows in your veins. You think that you know my race well just because you learned some magic and know Milda? Let me tell you; you know nothing!”

Her words were pure insults without any logic. She was venting her feelings. But because of these vile words, the pretty High Elf instantly turned ugly.

If she wasn’t a High Elf Magician, Link would cast a Spatial Rend immediately to let her know the consequence of humiliating a Legendary Magician. However, she was an upper-class High Elf. Someone like that would definitely not steal a book for no reason. If he was going to punish her, he needed to know the reason.

Of course, he couldn’t not do anything either.

Relaxing his control of his Dragon Power, heat waves flared in the air 50 feet around him with a whoosh. Crystal-red light spun like flames at the edge of the waves. The Dragon Power covered Link’s body and vaguely formed a dragon’s apparition.

The apparition looked down on the High Elf like a god looking down on mortals.

“High Elf, watch your words!” Link’s voice was dark and heavy, rumbling like thunder.

This was crushing power. The High Elf didn’t expect Link’s sudden outburst. She paled and stumbled backwards, almost falling. However, what shocked Link was that after she steadied herself, she still stared back at Link and sneered.

“Link, do you know who I am?”

Link furrowed his brows. He watched the High Elf, waiting for her to speak.

The High Elf puffed up her chest and took a deep breath. Facing Link’s Legendary might, she announced, “I am Ravenna. My mother is Ogna, and my father is Lazun. My grandfather is Bryant. If you dare harm me, you will pay greatly for it. Your Ferde Territory will definitely turn into ash!”

“Ravenna? The Prophet Bryant?” Link as shaken by these two names. He’d heard of them in the game; they were all famous figures.

The first was the most infamous High Elf traitor. Royal High Elf blood ran through her veins. In the game, she’d joined the Light Army, but she looked down on the other races, especially humans. She humiliated and beat her human soldiers and had a horrible reputation in the army.

During a battle, her Magician legion was attacked by demons, and everyone else died. They had protected her, so she survived and was taken captive. No one knew what happened after that, but in the end, she appeared in a demon fortress and became a boss.

She was a disgrace to the High Elves.

The other was Bryant, the Prophet. In the game, this character was very hidden and rarely appeared before the players. Even if he did, he had a heavy cloak that hid his face.

Other than his name, there was no direct evidence that he was related to the human Magician Bryant from 300 years ago. The High Elves never revealed Bryant’s specific identity either.
