[So past events surfaced in her mory, involving a Witch hidden within the Star Kingdom...]
"A Witch hidden in the Star Kingdom?"
Su Xuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.
He had a basic understanding of the ga’s lore. Witches—often created by bizarre magical fantasies, uncontrollable desires, and chaotic Magic Factors—frequently wreaked havoc on nations and society. This made them figures despised and reviled by the world.
They weren’t recognized by any nation, Race, or faction. Their situation was perhaps only slightly better than that of Demon Beasts. At the very least, they were still beautiful won, but they still faced the world’s hatred and were hunted down.
However, from Rosaline’s mory fragnts, he could tell that she had not only co into contact with the Witch hidden in the Star Kingdom but had also clashed with her—it wasn’t just a matter of defeating the Witch’s Apostle.
Just as he was lost in thought, Rosaline slowly walked over.
"The mory fragnts are still a bit hazy, but I vaguely recall that the Witch had a pair of golden eyes, and they would glow with a strange light," Rosaline described to Su Xuan, trying hard to recall the fragnts.
"Golden eyes that glow?"
"Yes, the Curse on Roxia and her mother is also connected to her," Rosaline continued. "The source of that shipwreck—she was the cause of that disaster too!"
’The truth behind it all?’ Su Xuan mused. He hadn’t expected all these incidents to have been caused by that one Witch.
The water spirit, the Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly, the Demon Spirit Doll, Roxia’s mother... all of them were inextricably linked to that Witch.
However, they still had too few clues. A pair of golden, glowing eyes wasn’t enough to track the Witch down.
"It’s getting late. Let’s head back to the Guild for now. We have the event quest to do in a bit."
"Okay~"
...
「Outside the Yerman Clan’s Castle.」
An exceptionally magnificent carriage was parked quietly by the roadside, its noble air and exquisite decorations clearly indicating that its passenger was no ordinary person. Its arrival was like a stone tossed into a calm lake, instantly sending out ripples. Hearing the news, all the Knights of the Yerman Clan ca out and stood in neat formation before the castle gate, awaiting an important figure. And Roxia, as the clan’s acting Patriarch, approached the carriage with the utmost respect.
She knelt on one knee and said, "We humbly welco Your Highness, the Princess."
As soon as she spoke, the sound of light footsteps ca from within the carriage. Under everyone’s watchful gaze, a young woman with light orange hair and golden pupils erged gracefully. Her every step was filled with confidence and nobility, as if even the Sunshine grew brighter at her appearance.
She smiled gently at Roxia. "Long ti no see, Roxia! It’s been three years since we last saw each other at the academy, hasn’t it? I ca all this way just to celebrate your birthday. I hope you’re happy to see ."
...
With a flash of white light, Su Xuan returned to the Guild.
However, he had sothing extra on him now—Rosaline’s little soul water snake.
It was coiled around Su Xuan’s waist, rubbing its little head gently against his cheek.
"Alright, alright~"
The rubbing tickled Su Xuan. To make matters worse, the little creature kept flicking out its forked tongue, leaving beads of crystal-clear Water Elent on his skin. The cool sensation made him shiver involuntarily.
"The little one seems to really like you, Mr. Su Xuan~" Ivsha said with a bright smile from the side.
"A little too much!" Su Xuan gently grabbed the little water snake by its wings, lifted it up, and handed it back to Rosaline.
’This little thing seems way too infatuated with . Though it feels as soft and cool as a water balloon—silky, springy, and hard to resist—having a snake constantly wrapped around you is still a bit unsettling!’
...
After a short rest in the Guild, an invitation popped into Su Xuan’s view.
[Player ’Cute Rabbit’ has invited you to join the event—Sli Showdown!]
’Has the event quest started already?’ Su Xuan muttered to himself and then clicked ’Accept’.
[You may only dispatch one Adventurer for this battle.]
’Only one Adventurer?’
Su Xuan thought for a mont and ultimately decided to take Ivsha.
’After all, a Mage is better suited for this kind of mob-clearing task.’
With another flash of white light, Su Xuan and Ivsha were teleported to the event location.
When he arrived, he found himself standing on a vast, endless plain surrounded by lush green grass. There wasn’t a trace of any Demons in the pure air.
Not far away, two figures stood quietly, seemingly waiting for soone’s arrival.
"Su Xuan~"
One of them, a girl wearing a Mage Robe and a Mage’s Hat, waved and called out to Su Xuan.
Su Xuan took a closer look. Ah, it was Liu Xue.
Standing beside Liu Xue was a beautiful Female Elf. She was tall and slender, with stunning looks, like a figure stepping out of an exquisite painting.
’An Elf? Not bad at all.’
Su Xuan carefully sized up the Female Elf. Her unique aura and elegant deanor left a deep impression on him.
’How wonderful it would be if I could recruit an Elf, too,’ Su Xuan thought. ’According to the rumors, High Elves aren’t just even more beautiful, but their combat power is also quite impressive. They’d undoubtedly be the ideal choice of Adventurer for the Su Xuan Guild.’
’But in this ga, the lore for Elves seems a little special, doesn’t it?’
"Is this your Adventurer?"
Liu Xue and the Elf walked gracefully over to Su Xuan.
When she saw Ivsha standing next to Su Xuan, Liu Xue’s eyes instantly lit up with astonishnt. Ivsha’s beauty took her breath away; even the exceptionally attractive Female Elf beside her seed to pale in comparison.
’Wow, this woman is gorgeous,’ she couldn’t help but think. ’Her figure is amazing, and her chest is huge...’
"Yeah."
Su Xuan nodded and then introduced her. "This is Ivsha, the first Adventurer in my Guild. And, she’s a... Nun."
"Hello~" Ivsha greeted Liu Xue with a smile.
But Liu Xue still seed a bit nervous and didn’t reply for a long ti.
"Liu Xue?"
Su Xuan waved a hand in front of her face. ’Why is she just staring blankly?’
"Ah! It’s nothing! Hello~"
Liu Xue quickly snapped out of it and introduced her companion to Su Xuan. "My first Adventurer is the Female Elf, Vini. She’s skilled with the bow and Wind Magic."
"It’s a pleasure to et you."
The Female Elf also greeted Su Xuan with a smile. As a mber of a Race renowned for its Kindness and friendliness, her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, making one feel completely at ease.
’Elves~ They’re so nice~’
"By my count, the event should have started by now, but why is this place so empty?" Liu Xue asked, looking around in confusion.
"Let’s wait a bit longer."
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a green Sli appeared out of thin air on the grass.
"There’s one!"
Seeing the Sli, Liu Xue’s pretty eyes lit up.
She imdiately ordered her Elf to attack the Sli.
The Elf Vini drew her bow, and with a SWOOSH, easily killed the Sli.
[Sli killed x1, EXP 50!]
"Fifty EXP for one Sli? Not bad," Su Xuan murmured.
Moreover, it was 50 points for everyone, not just for the one who got the kill.
And just then, white lights flashed again, and Slis began to appear before them in droves.
Liu Xue continued to order her Elf to clear out the Slis as they appeared.
Just as Su Xuan was about to order Ivsha to act, several prompts suddenly popped up in his vision.
[Abnormal data detected!]
[Hidden Quest Acquired—Sli Showdown * Ultimate Edition!]
[Quest Objective: Kill the Sli King!]
