Girvent Forest

After watching Dorias leave with Dark Elf Prince Walter hanging from his mouth, Link cast a Traceless spell and snuck forward

Perhaps due to the coht with Walter, the battle sounds in the distance had disappearedThe forest had becoain

Link followed the direction the sound had come from and crept forwardAfter around 300 feet, Link saw the first corpse—an Undead Knight

According to Gildern, these knights were practically impossible to killHowever, in battle, the other party seehtsThe corpse before Link now seeray-white skin was riddled with holes like a sieveBlack blood flowed out of the holes and corroded the grass around him

The blood was poisonous, so Link didn't dare touch itHe carefully bypassed the body and continued forwardHe tried to organize his thoughts about the relationshi+ps between everyone

”Alloa betrayed the Dark Elves, so they wanted to capture herThat hts?”

Their ara Royalty's emblem, so they were from the SouthCould it be the Syndicate? But wasn't the Shadow Stalker working with the Dark God? Why would a mistake like this happen?

If it was the Syndicate, it wouldn't , Link suddenly remembered what Skinorse had told himHe'd said that Wavier had become Dehts

”So these Undead Knights have nothing to do with the Syndicate and belong to Wavier himself?” Link wondered aloud”Or more specifically, are they under Tabinos?”

Demon God Tabinos was not compatible with the Spider Queen Lolth that the Dark Elves worshi+ppedIt was understandable if the believers of both sides fought over the Maiden of Truth

However, this explanation also had uncertaintiesHow did Wavier get the infor hard, Link could only co to do with the Syndicate, but they were only close on the surface and had internal conflicts

In order to capture the Maiden of Truth, the Dark Elves asked the Syndicate for helpIn the process, they found Wavier, but the Dark Elves didn't expect Wavier would break the alliance halfway through

This was the only logical explanation Link could think ofOf course, this was only Link's guessAs for the truth, he still had to seeHe followed the signs of struggle and continued forward

After around 650 feet, there was a clearing in the forest, but it was covered with corpses! This was probably the scene of the previous battle

Link circled it, studying the traces in the area carefully

”Eight Undead Knights, two Dark Elves…” he said to hihts, ghouls, this hoof print…Is it a de for five more minutes, Link discovered that three new people had joined the fightOne was a deician

The last one was the most mysteriousThe footprints indicated that he had existed, but he'd always stayed in the sideline, watching without participatingLink didn't knohat kind of power he had

”This guy stood by the tree without releasing any auraHe seems similar to a common man but who exactly was he? Is he fro rew er, Link confir

There was another forestThe tall arbor blocked the sunlight, and the lush shrubbery practically blocked off all pathsThe only path available had been created forcefully by sohts had abandoned their horses and went by foot

Froo

Link observed carefully the entire wayHis target was not the Undead Knights, ghouls, or the Dark Magician but the uy felt the , and Link had to be cautious of him

The mysterious man was very prudentHe didn't leave behind many traces, but they still existedLink was detailed tooHe never lost his target during this entire tiainThere were three—two ghouls and one Undead KnightLink glanced around and felt sohts had all seemed mutilated, but this corpse was better offIt had fallen mostly because his head had been chopped offLink realized that the Undead Knight's body still thIf someone found his head and put it back, he would probably be able to stand up again after a period of tihouls' corpses were much worse offTwo seeans, blood, andthis place into a hell on earth

After observing for ten seconds, Link concluded, ”The mysterious man finally actedHis spell was…huh, it's the Black Fire Beetle!”
