862 Being Powerful is a Sin Part 2 (2/2)

Saleen thought for a bit and said, ”Tell Soldier to look for it slowly, and be careful. I'm going to craft a true weapon for you, Nailisi. If you happen to see the whales, don't do anything.”

”Master, you are not in a hurry anymore?”, Nailisi peeked at Eleanor who was standing nearby, wondering if her master was up to something involving the elf.

”No use rushing things. I'm concerned about running into a whale coming to the cemetery. It wouldn't be a problem if there was just one, but more than two and I would have to use the badge's power. Using it once will have me unable to use it for half a year. The cost is just too great. You just wait for me to make you a spear, one that can definitely kill a single-horned white whale.”

Nailisi left the purgatory of darkness while casting suspicious glances at Eleanor.

Eleanor was sharing senses with Saleen at that moment. As Saleen had been in a calm mood, Eleanor herself failed to notice the weird glances from Nailisi. She simply spoke, ”My liege. You don't need me here anymore, so...”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Eleanor, how far can you see in this purgatory of darkness?”

”Without your Sensory Sharing, not even a yard away,” Eleanor told the truth as it was.

”Train here then. Without being a grade-9, your combat capacity won't even be one percent of what it should be, in such an environment.”

”My liege, we are running out of time, I...”

”I didn't let you into the six element space. Didn't you feel that was rather...unfair?”, Saleen asked out of the blue.

”Why would I? I have a long life. There will be plenty of time in the future for advancement. Entering the six element space would have allowed me to reach grade-9 quickly, but it wouldn't have done me any good if I wanted to advance further than that. Or rather, it would have proved counterproductive.”

”Glad that you know of that. Your abilities were being limited worse in this purgatory of darkness. Advance here, and you will be able to overcome similar environments.”

Eleanor smiled and nodded, ”Alright, my liege. I shall train here. If you needed my bow, just call me out anytime.”

Having shared senses with Saleen had Eleanor confirmed that he did not care for her just because she was a pretty being. That had Eleanor feeling relaxed, yet a bit down.

Back when she was fighting the heavenly angel with the water puppet on the Wings of an Elf in Daliang City, the water puppet protected her with its own body. She was in a rather confused state at the moment, feeling that the water puppet was Saleen himself, holding her in his arms and protecting an elf who had been wandering in foreign lands.

That moment had Eleanor feeling quite a bit of heartache, but happy at the same time. She even felt that she would not have had any regrets dying in battle fighting for him.

Right then however, Saleen's mood was still like the water element, one without ripples at all.

”This is the most Saleen will ever do for me then…”

Having completely cast off her longing for the marquis, she had made herself a home in Metatrin City. While she felt relieved, and knew well that Saleen would not have bothered her with feelings of love, she nonetheless felt rather distraught.

Her heart seemed empty.

Through the Sensory Sharing, Saleen knew well how Eleanor felt. He took a piece of dimension stone and stored the bones of the silverline golden spearfish within, and said to Eleanor, ”Eleanor, I'm your lord, I...”

”Saleen, you are good man,” having shared Saleen's vision, she was able to see Saleen's face in the dark, and spoke gently, ”This will be the last time, I'm calling you Saleen. From here on out, I will only address you as my liege.”

”Well then, my follower. Please don't ever leave Metatrin, even if...the passage to the elf plane is opened. You would stay even then, would you not?”

”Yes, indeed, Saleen, I mean my liege...,” Eleanor said as she cut off the Sensory Sharing between her and Saleen. Two tears ran down her face from the corner of her eyes, dropping onto the ground below.

Powerful dark element within evaporated her tears mid-air. Eleanor was but an outsider within the purgatory of darkness, just like she was on the Myers Mainland. She was just a lonely elf.

Saleen was still able to see the tears on Eleanor's face despite her having cut off the connection. He sighed in his mind. He took out a ring and stuffed it into Eleanor's hand.

”This is a spatial ring, containing all the equipment I have for you. Go train. Anything you will need, you can find it inside the ring. If...if there are no untoward incidents happening, I will come pick you up when you have advanced into grade-9.”

”Yes, my liege,” Eleanor answered, clutching the ring tight in her hand and walking far away.
