Creekwood Village, Night of the Dragon Inn.

Elin welcomed in the unexpected visitor.

“Where’s Link?” the person asked as soon as they entered.

It was a female Red Dragon Warrior. She wore regular dragon clothing and makeup. Having hid her dragon power waves, she seemed just like a regular dragon. However, this couldn’t fool Elin.

She circled the female Dragon Warrior and smirked. “So, are you the Felina that Link speaks of?”

“Yes. Where’s he? How come I don’t see him?” Felina looked from side to side. Something had happened to the queen, but the news wasn’t allowed to be spread. The Dragon Temple needed guards, so she was forced to stay there. She’d snuck out to visit during her break.

As for the two foreign geniuses brought here, …they were like little dolls to the dragon elders. It was fine to leave them hanging for a while.

Elin did not like these high-level dragons at all. She jumped onto the chair and sat down again with a scoff and pouted. “You brought Link here, but it’s already been half a month. All of you ignored him, and he was impatient, so he left.”

Felina believed her. “Ah, he left? Left to where? How did he get through the wall of fog?”

Seeing that her anxiousness was genuine, Elin softened. “Fine, I lied. Link’s not here. He’s doing something really important right now. It pertains to your queen’s safety!”

Felina was frightened. This Yabba girl’s words were too exaggerated, and she spoke too dramatically. She kept scaring Felina.

The dragon knew Elin and also knew that leaving her in this inn and neglecting her for so long was rude. She could only plead now. “Elin, I’m here to take you two away from the Dragon Valley. You must know, there’s been a terrifying change. You can’t stay here anymore. Can you please tell me where Link is?”

Her words were effective.

“Hmph, I guess you still have a conscious and know to take us away. Link didn’t trust you for nothing.”

With that, Elin jumped off from the chair. She jogged over to the window, closed the curtain, and then ran back. Solemnly, she activated the Soundproof Barrier before she continued, “Link is pursuing the hidden culprit who framed the queen. Two days ago, he sent a message that there’s been big progress.”

Felina shuddered again. “How do you know something happened to the queen?”

“Hey, do you think we’re idiots?” Elin side-eyed Felina with her big eyes. “You think I won’t know if you hide everything in the Soul Realm? I know the Secret spells!”

Since they already knew, Felina didn’t have to waste time explaining. Now, she was very curious about Link’s actions. “You said that Link might have found the guy who hurt the queen already?”

Elin nodded lightly. “It’s very possible, but I’m not sure about the details. We have very broken communication. You know, this is the Dragon Valley. We don’t have any helpers and have to be cautious…Wait, there’s something wrong?”

She yelped suddenly.

Felina was already used to how the Yabba girl spoke, so she just asked, “What now?”

“No, no, something happened to that guy. Oh, oh my god, his aura disappeared! He was killed!” Elin shot up. Without caring about Felina’s thoughts, she grabbed Felina’s hand and asked in panic, “Did you bring your weapon?”

“Of course. I’m a Warrior, and my weapon never leaves me!” Felina could sense the graveness of the question.

“Then follow me. I’ll explain on the way.” Elin rushed toward the inn’s exit.

Felina was utterly confused, but all she could do was follow.

The two sped out of the inn and ran in the direction of the circus. After around 65 feet, Elin couldn’t keep going. “I’m exhausted,” she said to Felina. “I can’t run quickly. Carry me.”

In Felina’s eyes, Elin was like a little girl. Hearing this, she reached out and set Elin on her shoulder. “Okay, sit tight. Point out the direction, and I’ll take you there.”

“No problem…Oh, you don’t run as smoothly as Nana. This isn’t comfortable…Ah, go that way. Yes, not in the direction of the circus. It’s a forest on the side. Be careful. The killer might still be near.”

Clink. Felina took out her two dragon claws. “Now, can you tell me what exactly happened?”

So Elin started explaining. “It’s like this. You never showed up, right? So we thought it was weird and started to look and look…just like that.”

She rambled on and said a bunch of things. It was kind of messy, but Felina understood. Stunned, she sped up.

Five minutes later, they were out of Creekwood. In the forest about one mile away, they found the corpse of a regular dragon. He’d been stabbed through the heart from the back. His face was in shock, clearly not expecting this.

Elin jumped down from Felina’s shoulder and circled the body. “He was killed in the circus and then brought here,” she asserted. “Look, this is the killer’s footprint. Ah, this guy must be really powerful. Look, he traveled more than 130 feet with one step.”

Felina saw this too. She was a Warrior and found more precise information from the footprint. “This is a Warrior at the pinnacle of Level-6. From the print, it’s a female.”

By this time, Felina had already completed a tracking spell. Pointing in a direction, she said, “She went that way and was really fast. Should we follow?”

Felina had wanted to take Link away from Dragon Valley, but now that this happened, her original intent had flown out of her mind. At this time, all that was in her mind was to find the truth. Putting Elin back on her shoulder, she started sprinting.
