Chapter 69: Ereinrith City (1/2)
”Everything... will, disappear?” Seth couldn't bring himself to accept such an outcome would befall a land that was full of fresh herbs, items and artifacts. What a waste of resources.
”You do not have to bother with what will happen with everything that is inside the Fire Labyrinth. This Venerable One already has a solution of what to do with it. But first, let me give you what was promised.”
A bolt of Fire descended right in front of Seth, bringing the magical Phoenix Feather. A feather with a reddish-orange color, radiating with vitality. The Phoenix Spirit detached its soul from the feather, officially parting with the last item of its inheritance. What was left, was the ancient spirit of the phoenix, that would dissipate along with the labyrinth.
”I thank you, Lord Phoenix Spirit.”
Seth grabbed the Phoenix Feather and went towards Lilian, ready to use it and save her life.
”Stop! You do not need to use the Phoenix Feather on her. This Venerable One decided to impart its full inheritance with that lass and the feather will no longer be needed.”
Seth stopped with puzzlement.
”Then, how will you be able to save her life?”
”That is something that this Venerable One should be preoccupied with. But, just to dispel any of your doubts, you shall observe it from aside.”
The big burning eyes started to burn with more ferocity, making the entire hall shake. All the treasures that were scattered around the floor and shelves, started to levitate while catching fire.
The fire burning them was none other than the real Phoenix Flames, a fire ten thousand times stronger than the normal fire that practitioners normally encountered.
The artifacts and herbs turned into dust and that dust turned into energy right after. The Phoenix Spirit directed that energy towards Lilian's body, controlling it precisely, so it could enter her veins and transform her entire foundation.
A torrential bolt of energy kept entering her body non-stop, reforming her cells from scratch.
”There is no need for you to stay here, this whole process will take about an entire year. At the end of the process, the resources around the labyrinth will be thoroughly used too. Her body will then be ready to receive my full inheritance. Go, there is nothing left for you to do here.”
”Alright, I thank you again Lord Phoenix Spirit.”
A harmless fire surrounded Seth, sending him to the world outside. While leaving he gave one last look towards Lilian.
The Phoenix Spirit kept looking where he was standing some seconds ago, thinking about the shocking events that happened around that young man.
”Sigh... At least, I can guarantee that my Phoenix Flames will be able to shine again through the whole universe if this lass is by his side.” It turned its focus towards Lilian, making sure to perfectly handle her transformation process, since it wanted that its full inheritance was passed down flawlessly.

Ereinrith City.
It was considered the most beautiful city of the Elven Kingdom. The way this city was built, could only be described as unique. Nothing less would be expected from the city that represented the elf race.
The houses were most made of wood, polished marble or an exquisite mixture of them. Some of the houses were even connected with the huge trunks of the ancient trees that were part of the city. The environment was very clean and fresh, the sunlight was passing through the vast foliage on top of the trees to illuminate the city below, giving it the necessary warmth.
Practically every single person walking in the city had a very pale skin and long hairs. Some were blonde and others had black hairs, but they were all long and shiny. Their pointy ears were taking a peek at the outside world through the gap they made in their hairs. This was a racial trait the elves were proud of.
Rarely, one would be able to witnesses a human walking through the crowd of elves. Humanity had a friendly relationship with the elf race nowadays. They have fought over territory in the distant past, but they overcame their disagreements, building up at least an amicable relationship.
However, it didn't mean that humans would be warmly welcomed on their territory, there was a certain kind of resistance towards humans. So, the humans around the city were very few, and most if not all of them, were doing business.
