Chapter 88 Anna's Mission
Chapter 88 Anna's Mission
Dorothy turned to Anna and said, "Miss Anna, we've left the Toughwood Forest now. Next, we're heading north to the Apprentice City of the Radiant Kingdom. Are you going the same way?"
"On the way," Anna replied coldly.
These elves who emerge alone from the forest must all have their own purposes.
"Well, I hope we can get along well on the rest of the journey, Miss Anna." Dorothy stopped looking at the carriage and focused on getting on the road.
Inside the carriage, Leona had her eyes closed, and a faint magical aura emanated from her body, indicating that she was practicing meditation.
Elor leaned against the carriage, hugging her legs with her arms, her eyes curiously scrutinizing Anna.
Anna frowned slightly, her expression displeased, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Elor shook her head slightly: "No, I was just curious."
"Curious?" Anna asked, puzzled.
Elor nodded.
She was curious as to why Dorothy would be interested in the dark elf before her.
As a girl herself, Elor had to admit that the elf before her was indeed beautiful.
But Dorothy was clearly not the kind of person who would be attracted by beauty.
Besides, she's still young and shouldn't understand these things.
Elor still remembers the first time she met Dorothy.
Dorothy behaved very appropriately.
Even after knowing her for so long, Dorothy's attitude towards her was still not particularly enthusiastic.
But the dark elves before us are different.
Dorothy acted extremely gentlemanly after only meeting him once.
To be honest, this preferential treatment made Elor a little jealous.
"Stop looking! Can't you just be like that woman over there?"
Anna was somewhat displeased. She turned her head slightly and nodded at Leonse beside her.
I want to keep Elor in line.
"Okay." Elor shrugged.
She disliked the dark elf in front of her, and only became curious about him later because of Dorothy.
Now that they've warned her, Elor won't be so tactless as to keep staring at them.
So she slowly closed her eyes and began to meditate.
The carriage fell silent immediately.
The only sound was the tires rolling on the ground.
Anna lowered her head, stretched out her hands to look at them, and sighed inwardly.
"Sigh, it was a moment of impulse that led me to accept that difficult task..."
The Dark Elves live in underground palaces.
Of course, it's not that they prefer living underground, but rather because of some kind of tradition passed down through generations.
Their underground palace suppressed a deep abyss.
The chaotic magic in the Resilient Forest is known among the elves as Abyssal Magic.
Because they have lived in such places for many years, dark elves use more violent magic than other elves, and they rarely use magic, fighting more like warriors.
When encountering enemies that require remote attacks, there are also special techniques such as using arrows and releasing magic.
Anna came out this time because she accepted the Queen's mission as the captain of the royal guard.
Searching for traces of the witch on the continent.
At that moment, Anna seemed to hear the Queen's parting words again.
"Anna, the abyssal magic gushing from the ground has started to increase in recent years. I've confirmed that the seal on the underground palace is intact, but I have a bad feeling. I need brave warriors to find experts in this field."
"In recent years, the birth rate of our warriors has been declining due to the influence of the abyss magic."
"Anna, my brave and loyal warrior, it is said that the witch can resolve the magic of the abyss, and I hope you will go out and find the witch."
Anna felt it was an honorable and arduous task, and accepted it without any hesitation.
"I am at your service, Your Majesty."
"Go, Anna, may the goddess of earth and moon bless you."
But when she finally left the Resilient Wood Forest and the place where she had grown up, a sense of panic arose in her heart.
Every few decades, the dark elves would send out people to search for witches.
But it has been over a thousand years.
No elf has ever been able to complete this task and bring the witch back.
Anna was panicked; she feared that she was the same.
They might spend decades or even centuries away, only to return empty-handed and disappoint the Queen.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely bring the witch back!"
Anna clenched her fists.
Her Majesty the Queen is one of the few in the tribe who does not mock her and accepts her.
She didn't want to disappoint Her Majesty the Queen.
Anna was completely baffled as to where to find the witch's trail.
Her current plan is to follow these humans to their dwelling and see if she can find out any information.
Although human lifespan is short, they love to record things.
We should be able to glean some information from human history.
Moreover, some powerful humans also have very long lifespans.
Perhaps we can get the answer from those powerful people.
With that thought in mind, Anna slowly closed her eyes and began to rest.
……
Ten days later.
On the breezy plain.
Dorothy gazed at the towering walls of the Apprentice City in the distance and slowly exhaled.
"Finally back."
She drove very fast and didn't stop the whole way.
They returned even faster than before they set off.
"But there are so many people on the street, are they all merchants?"
Dorothy looked at the carriages on the road. Some of them had very conspicuous signs. Dorothy couldn't help but wonder if they belonged to merchants or nobles.
The curtain behind me was lifted, and a faint, fresh scent of tender leaves wafted into my nostrils.
Anna stood behind Dorothy, arms crossed, gazing at the vast city in the distance.
"Is this the City of Apprentices?"
Her expression still carried a hint of arrogance, but her tone was tinged with shock.
This is far more magnificent than the underground palace where she lived.
Then a hint of surprise flashed in Anna's eyes.
Such a large city must have a long history.
There should be many powerful human beings and historical records preserved.
Thinking of this, Anna looked down at Dorothy, who was driving, and said, "Human, can you take me to see the master of this city?"
Dorothy didn't even look up. She said softly, "I'm telling you, Miss Anna, my name is Dorothy. It's been so many days, and you haven't called me by my name once. You've only called me 'human,' which is making things difficult for me."
Anna wanted to lash out upon hearing this, but she knew she hadn't come out to cause trouble; she carried the Queen's mission and expectations.
What she needed to do was complete her mission as soon as possible and return to the forest.
"Phew~"
Exhale gently.
Anna hesitated for a long time, then, with a slight blush, stammered, "Dorothy, could you take me... to see the master of this city?"
After saying that, the dark elf loli bit her lower lip, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant.
Then she heard Dorothy reply, "I'm sorry, I don't know anyone that great, I'm afraid I can't do it."
"You're kidding me!"
Anna instantly flew into a rage!
At that moment, she gritted her teeth, wishing she could immediately open Dorothy's skull.
However, Dorothy's next words calmed Anna down.
"Although I don't know them personally, I do know Lyons and Elor; they're teachers here."
