After a quick breakfast, Su Xuan returned ho. It was 7:30 in the morning. Just as he was about to log into the ga, his phone suddenly vibrated.
"Hm?"
Su Xuan picked up his phone to check and saw it was a ssage from Liu Xue.
Kanai’s Rabbit: "Su Xuan, do you know anything about the Elf Race?"
?
"Not really. The Elf Race in this ga seems a bit special."
Kanai’s Rabbit: "Alright, I’ll go ask soone else."
"Did sothing happen?" Su Xuan asked.
Kanai’s Rabbit: "My Female Elf, Vini, has been a bit distracted lately. It seems sothing happened within the Elf community that split them into two opposing factions. If I could understand the Elf Race better, I might be able to help her. Plus, Vini’s character quest is related to this issue."
Hearing this, Su Xuan grew thoughtful and replied, "If you want to learn about the history of the Elf Race, you can go to the library. I was planning on going there myself anyway."
Kanai’s Rabbit: "The library? That seems like a good idea. I’ll log on right now!"
"Okay."
Su Xuan put down his phone and skillfully put on his VR headset.
This ti, he chose to enter the library area directly, instead of first going to his Guild like usual. This library, open to Players, was located in a special Domain that only Players could enter. All forms of conflict were strictly forbidden here, ensuring a safe and peaceful environnt.
When Su Xuan stepped into the virtual library, he was awestruck by the towering bookshelves that soared into the clouds around him. They seed to reach the very heavens, densely packed with countless books. Nestled between the shelves were nurous cozy reading areas where Players could sit.
Su Xuan also quickly noticed a blue screen at the side of the table in each reading area. Players simply had to type the title of a book or related keywords into the screen, and the system would instantly find the corresponding book for them to read.
"Su Xuan!"
Hearing Liu Xue’s voice, Su Xuan imdiately turned toward the sound. He saw her sitting in a spacious, comfortable reading area, holding a thick book. He walked over and sat down across from her, his eyes falling on the title of the book in her hands: *The Complete History of the Elf Race*.
He asked Liu Xue, "So what caused the split within the Elf Race?"
Liu Xue shook her head and explained, "It’s not exactly a split, just two opposing viewpoints. They’re holding a trial for an Elf Mother, which has caused a huge controversy within the Elf Race. Apparently, they’ve been arguing about it for sixteen years, and it’s still going on."
Su Xuan was baffled. "What did this Elf Mother do to be put on trial?"
"I don’t know. That’s why I’m trying to find out." Liu Xue shook her head gently and resud her patient search for information.
Su Xuan also quickly navigated the screen, calling up the books he needed.
’History books of the Star Kingdom...’
Su Xuan found the book on the history of the Star Kingdom. Compared to the history of the Elf Race, the Star Kingdom’s was much shorter.
After all, the Elf Kingdom had a legacy spanning ten thousand years, and its ruler, the Elf Queen, had remained the sa from the very beginning, never once having been replaced.
She was one of the most powerful NPCs in the Magic World. In terms of beauty, combat Power, and even age, she was considered the pinnacle of existence. Hailed as the most perfect woman in the world and the personification of Holiness, such accolades were enough to highlight her unique status among all NPCs.
Unfortunately, ordinary people never had the chance to witness the Elf Queen’s splendor. This beautiful and mysterious Queen was as remote as the moon, filling hearts with only reverence and longing.
Before long, Su Xuan found the information he was looking for.
The Star Kingdom was protected by seven Valkyries. In addition to the known White Rose, there were six others: Black Rose, Blue Lily, Blood Jasmine, Violet, Silver Lotus, and Golden Peony.
The seven cities protected by these Valkyries were the cornerstones of the Star Kingdom and the nation’s greatest strength.
’So Golden Peony is the symbol of the Star Kingdom’s Royal Family? And among the seven Valkyries, her Power is the greatest...’ Su Xuan muttered softly to himself.
He delved deeper into the history of the Star Kingdom, but most of the information seed unhelpful. The books in the library were all publicly available for purchase in the various kingdoms, so they wouldn’t contain any real secrets. As Su Xuan was engrossed in his reading, a particular detail suddenly caught his eye.
’Ten years ago, the Star Kingdom executed a Witch?’
Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he continued to search for more information about Witches.
’The Power of a Witch stems from a madness for truth. Their actions all follow rules they establish for themselves...’
’They usually house their Magic Power within a specific organ, like the eyes, heart, or fingers. This is known as a Witch’s inheritance. However, this transfer is limited to Magic Power and has no direct effect on the successor’s body or mind.’
’Although a second-generation Witch’s understanding of truth may change, the source of the Magic Power always remains the sa...’
Su Xuan began to understand the Witch system. Take the Night Witch, for example. The source of her Magic Power was the pitch-black night sky, and her understanding of the Night Truth was "endless betrayal." Because of this, her Magic Power would grow at an insane rate.
If this Power were inherited by a second-generation Witch, her understanding of the Night Truth might change, but the source of the Magic Power would remain the sa. In other words, the second-generation Witch’s insight into the night might no longer be "betrayal," but sothing entirely new...
’Not a bad haul.’ Su Xuan nodded in satisfaction. So of the questions that had been nagging him were now partially answered.
He raised his head, looked at Liu Xue sitting opposite him, and asked, "Did you find the answer you were looking for?"
Liu Xue knit her brow, seeming uncertain about what she’d found. "I’m not sure if this is the answer I was looking for, but I definitely learned sothing. Hopefully, it’ll help with the quest."
...
After bidding Liu Xue farewell, Su Xuan left the library and returned to the Guild. At that mont, Ivsha and Alice approached him like a warm spring breeze, their faces wreathed in smiles to welco him back.
"Mr. Su Xuan (Master)~ Welco back~"
Su Xuan froze for a second. Before he could react, the two won had enthusiastically sward him, clinging tightly to his left and right arms. He could clearly feel two different sizes of softness~
’What’s this?’
Before Su Xuan had a chance to ask, they were already ushering him to a wooden chair. He then noticed the table before him was laden with an array of mouth-watering desserts and steaming hot black tea.
"Master, please have so tea~" Alice said, her voice gentle and demure as she lifted the cup of black tea to his lips.
Su Xuan took a tentative sip, his expression full of confusion.
A rich, fragrant aroma of tea imdiately filled his mouth...
’Wait.’
’Was this cup of black tea filled with Alice’s deep affection?!’
"That’s wrong~ Alice~"
Just then, Ivsha suddenly cut in. Smiling, she took the teacup from Alice’s hand and gazed affectionately at Su Xuan. "Mr. Su Xuan actually prefers imported black tea. Have you forgotten?" Her tone was tinged with a flirtatious charm.
With that, Ivsha took a delicate sip of the tea, then lunged toward Su Xuan and pressed her lips deeply against his.
The warm black tea instantly flooded into Su Xuan’s mouth as Ivsha’s soft words of instruction for Alice drifted to his ear, "Alice~ GULP~ You have to do it like this~ MWAAH~"
