Chapter 467 - The Old Elven Lady
“We need you help in retrieving the Prophet of Life!” Levin Cloud sent via message.
“He said ‘we’ in the message which means he got Anastacia on board.” Adrian thought as Levin Cloud sent another message.
“Meet us in Bright Orchid city. The city is strict, but you do not need to worry about the security checks as long as you teleport inside anyway.” Levin Cloud sent via message.
“Ok. I will go there now. It seems that it is important.” Adrian stated as he sealed all of his soulbounds and exited the dungeon.

Adrian arrived in Bright Orchid city and it is evident that the city is run by elves. The aesthetic of the city is not like that of the past Neo Alfheim but it still has lush greenery. The words to describe this city would be a mix of urban and garden style.
The buildings in the city are quite modern but each building has a generous mount of plants planted in front or covering the buildings. The elves in the city are more modern compared to the elves living extremely close to nature.
Adrian managed to get inside the city when he passed the inspection at the gate. It seems his Glamour is effective on low level guards, but he wants to know the Polymorph skill that the Daemos Elders use. Even if he uses his evil eye, Ascalor, Koronn, and Bronx still look like their old versions and not their real forms.
The elders did tease him saying that it can only be done by Arch Demons. Adrian needs to get level 200 first as that is the imposed basis in becoming an Arch Demon. The one who fetched Adrian is Levin Cloud himself after the former contacted him that he is inside the city.
“I checked on Elder Willow yesterday.” Levin Cloud stated as he guided Adrian to the other edge of the city near a forest.
“Elder Danaya told me that woke up and is no longer in danger of dying.” Adrian stated as he received new of Elder Willow’s awakening from Elder Danaya. She apparently likes to talk to Adrian a lot.0
The conversation would always move to flowers which is why Adrian got dumped with new info of flowers in Pandemonium. He thought the conversation is boring, but he endured for information about unknown things in Pandemonium.
“Thankfully, he can now eat properly and regain his strength. I did tell him the current state of the Church of Life and even he thought it is hopeless to just reclaim Neo Alfheim. The number of elves is also decreasing because of the absence of a world tree in the main world. The elves have weakened.” Levin Cloud stated in a serious tone.
“Elder Willow is recovering faster in Alfheim because a world tree is there but the elders that are recuperating in Nebulon are not recovering fast enough. That is my presumption, but I am guessing it is true.” Adrian commented and Levin Cloud nodded.
“Anastacia’s mentor has regained consciousness, but her body is still frail due to slow recovery. The other elders are dead while the location of those who managed to escape are unknown. There are not many players that are students of the elders. From my understanding, it is only Anastacia and I that are players with elder mentors.” Levin Cloud stated.
“Then that would be the reason why you wanted her help. Both of you have the same problem then. I get it but why do you want to get the other prophet?” Adrian asked.
“The last step in me ascending to becoming the Envoy of the Twin Gods is reestablishing their faith in them. The Church of Death already agreed to the merge as long as the Church of Life also agrees. Elder Willow has accepted but the problem is the other elders of the Church of Life.” Levin Cloud stated as they reached a dainty shack in the woods.
Adrian noticed that the house might look normal but the gardeners tending to the garden outside are not. Adrian could feel that the two gardeners are actually more powerful than him. His senses became enhanced when he increased his bloodline purity.
“Those two are not gardeners, are they?” Adrian asked.
“You are correct. They are the exclusive guards of the elder residing in the house.” Levin Cloud answered.
The piercing gazes of the two elves in the garden could bore holes in Adrian’s body but they did not bother him. They recognized that Levin Cloud is with him, so they did not talk to him but just observed. Levin Cloud knocked on the door three times before Anastacia’s voice answered.
“Come in!” Anastacia stated and the door opened by itself.
The house only consisted of one floor, but it is wide, and the ceiling height is great. Adrian even thought that he is inside of a giant plant or fruit that was turned into a house. They were greeted by two individuals. One of which is Anastacia and the other is a frail looking elf lady that has wrinkled skin.
“Sorry for intruding!” Adrian stated as he went inside the house.
“You are finally here!” Anastacia stated as she took two chairs and placed it beside the bed where the old elven lady is currently sitting on.
“To think that a demon would be friends with an elf. I guess, I am already too old for this.” The old elven lady stated.
“Pleased to make your acquaintance. I am Equinox. I think the better introduction would be that I am⦔ Adrian stated but the old elven lady suddenly intervened. He also took off his Glamour as per Levin Cloud instructions. π‘πππππͺπ.ππΈπΆ
“The Champion of the Twin Gods.” The old elven lady stated which shocked the three players. Levin Cloud only told her that the demon they are acquainted with might change the elder’s mind.
“How did you know?” Adrian asked as he is stunned.
“I can feel the Goddess of Life’s blessing upon you, but I also sense another terrifying force that is opposite to it. I am not ignorant of the twin gods but to think that they will choose a demon as their champion is unprecedented.” The old elven lady stated.
“Then the Church of the Twin Gods is actually very real, master?” Anastacia asked as she was often told the opposite whenever she asked.
“I thought that you two were just making up stories since you two are elves that have encountered the Church of Death in our church’ lowest times. No wonder that fence sitter Willow agreed to the merge. He must have seen the will of the twin gods when he saw this demon.” The old elven lady grumbled.
“Two elves? Did you not reveal yourself to her yet?” Adrian asked Levin Cloud and the latter just sighed.
“I thought that she might not trust me if I were to show my true form to her.” Levin Cloud stated as he took off his transformation and revealed his true form. A loud gasp from the old elven lady soon followed which prompted the two elves outside to burst inside of the room.
