Chapter 568: Ferde Lord, Prepare to Pay

One day later, Link brought Elovan, Milose, and Katyusha’s statue to Ferde’s border. By now, Elovan and Milose’s appearances had changed greatly.

First of all, their pointy ears were gone. Link had used a flesh magic puppet spell to round them and change their faces.

High Elves were all very attractive. Even Milose, who was plain amongst High Elves, was above average amongst humans. Now, they looked completely like common men.

If not for their Natural Magic auras, no one would be able to tell they were High Elves from their appearances.

When they got to the border, Link cast a transmission spell to avoid alerting the soldiers. Under white flashes, the group appeared within the main Mage Tower.

Just as the two High Elves steadied themselves, their hearts jumped. They sensed the magic aura coming out of the Mage Tower. It was majestic, deep, and heavy. They felt like they were facing an unshakeable mountain.

Before, they didn’t think much of human Mage Towers by instinct. With their magic knowledge, they thought that they would definitely be at the top level. They obviously couldn’t beat Link, but they could still be second or third.

Now, they weren’t as confident.

Even more shocking, it wasn’t just the Mage Tower that looked majestic. The entire Scorched City was shocking. It was filled with a warm aura like sunlight. It was strange.

This “sunlight” was omnipresent in the Mage Tower and outside in Scorched City. Especially to the north of the city where the sunlight aura was abnormally dense—they could even feel the heat.

Sunlight was warm, but when an immense amount of warmth was gathered together, it would become a sun with unlimited power. There was a sun like that burning in the northern part of the city!

Shock was written in Elovan’s features. He asked without thinking, “Lord, what’s with the north?”

The Isle of Dawn had always paid attention to Ferde, and they thought that they were knowledgeable in Ferde’s basic situation. However, they couldn’t sense this aura. From the outside, nothing special seemed to have happened other than the new buildings they’d built.

But now, he saw an entirely different Ferde in the Mage Tower.

“The military camp is in the North,” Link said, chuckling. All of Ferde’s power was covered by the Mage Tower. The only place they could see the entire city was in the Mage Tower.

“Military camp?” Elovan flinched. He seemed to understand something and was instantly shaken. Not only did they need a lot of people to create such a convergence of power, but they also needed many strong figures. They needed at least 5000 soldiers over Level-6 to create a scene like this.

If they had 5000 Level-6 soldiers, it meant that Ferde now had an entirely new type of power.

He’d interacted with Eliard before and felt the pure and warm aura inside the other. At that time, he’d only thought that Eliard was the exception. He didn’t think that Ferde’s power had reached this level.

At first, he thought he’d only won a chance to survive by joining Ferde. Now, things seemed much better than he’d expected.

Judging from Ferde’s current display of power, they still weren’t a match for the Isle of Dawn. It didn’t mean they had no chance though. Plus, humans had a great population. This was a huge potential. After a few years, Ferde’s power would reach an unthinkable level.

Originally, Elovan had been forced to join Ferde. Now, he saw huge hope. With this hope, he was practically willing to be loyal.

Then he turned to his companion Milose. The other was clearly thinking the same thing. When he turned, Milose had also turned towards him. He saw shock and respect in Milose’s eyes.

During this time, Link had still been walking forward. The two followed in his footsteps until Link stopped before a magic portal door.

“It’s Evelina’s Mage Tower up ahead.”

Evelina was the first High Elf to join Ferde. Elovan and Milose had been scared, but after hearing Evelina’s name, they became calmer. At the same time, they also had complicated feelings.

Link never admitted that Evelina was in Ferde, but everyone knew, so Elovan and Milose didn’t find this surprising.

After opening the portal door, the three stepped in. The scenery changed and they reappeared in a hallway of a totally different style.

The two walls were made of wood with flowing veins. There was the fragrance of wood and grass in the air. A long-tailed green robin perched on one of the lights on the wall. After seeing them, the robin said with a feminine voice, “Welcome, welcome.”

The decorations were completely elven.

Another part of Elovan and Milose were reassured. Link continued leading them all the way to Evelina’s room. Then he knocked on the door. “Master Evelina, are you here?”

The reply came quickly. “I’m here, Lord. What’s wrong?”

At the same time, the door creaked open. Evelina was sitting before a large table, her hands were playing with an Ethereal Crystal. She was making Ethereal equipment.

“I’m sorry. You worked hard these days, but I found two helpers for you.” Link moved to the side, revealing Elovan and Milose behind him.

Seeing them, Evelina felt for their auras and was horribly shocked. “Elovan, Milose, why are you here?”

The two High Elves felt awkward. They didn’t know what to say.
