"How can this be?" Su Xuan stroked his chin, thoroughly perplexed. ’Why does Rosaline’s character quest seem so simple, yet its Recomnded Level is higher than Ivsha’s?’
’Puzzling...’
He stared at Rosaline, who was sitting on the ground. An inexplicable sense of danger emanated from her, sending a shiver down his spine.
Rosaline slowly opened her eyes. Though her form consisted only of a Soul Body, her facial features were no less detailed. Under the glow of her Crystal Skeleton, her eyes were dazzling, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
The mont she stood, the very first thing she did was draw the Oath Sword from her hip.
"What are you...?" Su Xuan asked curiously, wondering what Rosaline was about to do.
Rosaline’s frosty voice answered, "My Swordsmanship has seen so improvent."
"Huh?"
Before Su Xuan could even react, Rosaline had already swung her sword, unleashing a Sword Technique.
Almost simultaneously, a Full Moon materialized in the air. Its bright moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall, transforming into countless tiny Sword Auras that slashed toward a distant training dummy.
BANG!
With a loud explosion, the training dummy was instantly blown to smithereens!
[Simulated Combat Power: 1000!]
"?"
Su Xuan stared at the Simulated Combat Power value that popped up, utterly dumbfounded.
’The Water Moon Rosaline perford just a few days ago only had a Simulated Combat Power of 500. How has it jumped straight to 1000?’
The scariest part was that this was the highest value a basic training dummy could withstand. In other words, Rosaline’s strike had exceeded the dummy’s durability limit!
"Although it still hasn’t broken into the realm of High-tier Swordsmanship, its power far surpasses my previous strike." Rosaline gazed at the Oath Sword in her hand, whispering softly, "I shall na it ’Fallen Moon’."
Su Xuan watched Rosaline muttering to herself, marveling at her talent. ’A Legendary-quality Adventurer truly is in a league of their own!’
"President, did you need for sothing?" Rosaline turned to Su Xuan and asked.
"It’s nothing," Su Xuan replied calmly. He had co out of concern for Rosaline, but he hadn’t expected to find her not only unhard but having also mastered a more advanced form of Swordsmanship. It was certainly a surprise.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it. As long as the President’s orders aren’t unreasonable, I will obey them," Rosaline said coolly. Her expression was placid, but it was clear she would absolutely obey Su Xuan’s commands.
"Actually, there is sothing I need you to handle!" An idea suddenly flashed in Su Xuan’s mind; he had just rembered a task perfect for Rosaline.
"What is it?" Rosaline asked, puzzled.
"Two newcors have joined the Guild, and they’re very enthusiastic about taking on quests," Su Xuan explained. "But it seems to they lack combat experience and need a seasoned veteran to guide them."
Besides, with the Guild’s ranks growing, Su Xuan, as the Guild President, no longer needed to handle every task personally.
"I understand." Rosaline imdiately grasped Su Xuan’s intent.
"In return, I can grant you one small wish." It occurred to Su Xuan that he had never actually compensated Rosaline, and he felt a little... guilty.
"A small wish?" Rosaline repeated, as if the phrase were foreign to her.
After a mont’s thought, she answered, "As the Guild President, your Physique is too weak. Spar with tomorrow. I will help you improve it."
"?"
Su Xuan was a little surprised to hear this request.
’He couldn’t help but think of Rosaline’s character quest—the content was almost identical! But then again, considering that a character quest is a wish every Adventurer deeply desires to fulfill, it seed to make sense.’
Still, Su Xuan hadn’t expected Rosaline’s character-driven wish to be about him. That was a surprise.
"No problem."
Su Xuan agreed to Rosaline’s request without hesitation.
"Then tomorrow morning. Be sure to be on ti."
"Mm."
As they spoke, a blinding white light flared from the Teleportation Array. It seed the Elf Sisters were back.
"Co on, let’s go to the guild hall and et our new mbers."
Su Xuan then headed for the guild hall.
When they arrived at the guild hall, the Elf Sisters were already waiting.
Each of them held a giant pink pearl, their beautiful faces wreathed in smiles.
But Su Xuan noticed the scars on their fair hands. They had clearly gone through a lot to collect the quest items.
"Lord President! We collected the pearls!"
Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo said in unison, holding up the giant pink pearls in their hands.
"You did very well! Thank you for your hard work."
Su Xuan took the two huge pearls from the Elves’ hands. He was surprised to see that each one was the size of a washbasin.
He submitted the quest, and a notification popped up before him.
[Collect Giant Pearls (2/2), Quest Complete!]
[ 15 Silver Coins, 1500 EXP!]
"Here’s your reward," Su Xuan said, handing a bag of Silver Coins to the Elf Sisters.
"This is great!"
The mont the Elf Sisters accepted their paynt, Su Xuan could see their eyes sparkle like stars.
"Excuse us, Lord President! Are there any more quests for us? We want to keep going!" the Elf Sisters asked Su Xuan again, their tone pleading.
Their enthusiasm for quests surpassed Su Xuan’s expectations. But he glanced outside and saw that it was already dark, so he decided to arrange more tasks for them tomorrow.
He said to the Elf Sisters, "It’s too late today. Let’s continue tomorrow."
"But..."
Beiya Fuli still seed eager to take on more quests, but Beira Furo, who was beside her, held her back.
"Sister, we can’t trouble the Lord President. Besides, it’s late now, and questing will be more dangerous..."
After whispering to each other for a mont, the two sisters turned back to Su Xuan in unison, bowed slightly, and said, "We understand~ See you tomorrow, Lord President~"
The mont they finished speaking, the Elf Sisters hurried into the Teleportation Array and left the Guild.
Su Xuan was very curious about their reaction.
’What on earth is driving them to work so hard in the pri of their youth?’
As their Guild President, it seed he would need to get to know his newly recruited Elf Sisters a little better tomorrow.
Lost in thought, Su Xuan took off his VR headset, quickly washed up, and went to bed.
...
「Within the Elf Kingdom.」
Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo returned to their people via the Teleportation Array. The mont they arrived, they rushed eagerly toward a small wooden house near the Elf Mother Tree.
The wooden house was peculiar; it was enveloped by a deep blue Magic Array, as if soone were being held captive inside.
The two sisters pushed open the door, and a voice as gentle as flowing water drifted out.
"You’re back, my children~"
A Female Elf with long, pale-golden hair sat quietly inside the wooden house. Her hair was styled in a loose braid that draped over her chest, and her figure was full-figured yet symtrical. She looked like a vision of the Elf Sisters, fully grown, and exuded an aura of gentleness, thoughtfulness, and maternal warmth.
"Mama! Look! This is the first money we’ve ever earned!"
Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo rushed into the Female Elf’s embrace and eagerly presented their mother with the first Adventurer commission they had earned that day.
"This..."
The Female Elf stared at the commission her daughters had earned by completing dangerous quests, and a gentle, tearful shimr welled up in her mismatched fiery-red and ocean-blue eyes.
She gently set the money pouch on a nearby wooden table. Then, extending her hands, she summoned a warm Magic Power that welled in her palms and gently covered the scars on her daughters’ hands, healing their injuries.
"Mama! Once we’ve earned enough money, we’ll be able to get you out of here!" Beiya Fuli said, full of hope.
"Alright, alright~"
The Female Elf spoke softly, her face graced with a motherly smile brimming with adoration and love for her children.
"Ah~ I’m sleepy~"
"Go to sleep, my precious ones~"
After the Elf Sisters had drifted off to sleep, the Female Elf slowly rose. She walked to the window and gazed up at the brilliant moon in the night sky, as if contemplating her own Destiny.
After a long while, she slowly turned to look at her sleeping daughters. A fond smile graced her lips as she whispered, "They say you are my calamity, that because of you, I bear a false accusation and am confined here."
A hint of helplessness and sorrow laced the Female Elf’s tone, but she quickly composed herself and continued gently, "But I believe you are the most wonderful gift the Elental Goddess has given , the most precious treasure of my life."
After speaking, the Female Elf walked to the bedside and gently kissed Beiya Fuli’s and Beira Furo’s foreheads. It was as if she were telling them in her own way that she would always be by their side, protecting them no matter what difficulties and challenges they faced.
"I won’t let anyone harm you. You are~ my children~"
...
"VMMMM~"
A white light flashed, and Su Xuan arrived in the Guild.
He had made a point of arriving very early today to keep his agreent with Rosaline.
But the mont he stepped into the Guild, he was stunned to find a silvery-white teardrop resting on the bar.
"What is this?"
Curious, Su Xuan picked up the teardrop and examined it closely.
