Chapter 13: Envoys

The bullet comments were conversing amongst themselves. Amelia watched silently, also quietly taking note of some information.

Just then, many shouts and the sound of horse hooves came from up ahead. The people on the street also parted into two rows, making way.

Not wanting to stand out too much, Amelia and Eileen followed the crowd to the sides.

Afterward, several carriages were driven through in a column, flanked by soldiers from the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces acting as guards.

“Is that some important figure traveling? A Noble from the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces?”

“I heard Elves have appeared.”

“Elves? That’s quite surprising. Why would they come here?”

“They seem to be envoys from the Elven Court.”

“In any case, let’s keep some distance. Elves are all arrogant fellows, quite hard to like.”

Discussions buzzed through the crowd.

Amelia and Eileen stayed within the crowd and also heard the murmurs around them.

Eileen didn’t feel much about it, but Amelia’s heart stirred.

She looked at the bullet comments.

“Are Elves supposed to come to Falcon City at this time? Was there a segment in the Original Plot about this?”

“This year is Heavenly Calendar Year 720, right? This year, the Elven Forest seems to have experienced a bitter winter that might not occur once in a century. In the future, when Eileen goes to the Elven Forest, an Elf mentions this event.”

“Now that you say it, I remember. There was a shortage of supplies in the Elven Forest, so starting this year, they would engage in long-term trade with Humans. This indeed should be something that exists in the Original Plot.”

“I can’t quite remember the Original Plot clearly. Seeing Elves, I thought they were here looking for Amelia.”

“Let me remind everyone, the matter of the Steele Kingdom’s destruction was secretly pushed forward by a high-ranking member among the Elves. It was never made public; ordinary Elves know nothing about this.”

Watching lines of bullet comments scroll past, Amelia fell into thought.

The appearance of these Elves didn’t seem related to her.

Honestly, when she saw the Elves appear, she did feel a moment of tension, but since the bullet comments said it was fine, it should be fine.

“Let’s go.”

As the Elf procession moved on, Amelia whispered a word and left with Eileen.

Their disguised selves weren’t very conspicuous within the crowd either. In this otherworld, one could truly see every hair color and eye color under the sun; silver hair was also quite common.

Not long after, the two approached the Forest Wind shop.

This was a bustling commercial street. Street lamps crafted through Alchemy cast dim, hazy light, dispelling the darkness on the road and allowing passing people to walk with peace of mind.

Light also shone out from the shops on both sides, allowing people to see the scenes within the stores from a certain distance.

“It’s not there?”

Amelia looked at Forest Wind’s display window from a distance. Not seeing her target, she then turned to look at the bullet comments.

Previously, the bullet comments said that the slave owner, Eden, had placed the Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram in a very conspicuous display window to better bait his trap. It should be visible just by passing by; one shouldn’t fail to find it even when deliberately looking.

“Huh? Where’s the Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram? Could it be it hasn’t been put out yet at this time?”

“It’s definitely not that. Amelia has said she saw that Mindscape Diagram before.”

“It must have been put away, right? Logically speaking, with Elves appearing in this city, that slave owner naturally wouldn’t dare to continue fishing. What if he fishes in the envoys from the Elven Court?”

“That makes sense when you put it that way.”

“So, it was a wasted trip?”

“It seems so? What a pity, I thought Amelia had a chance to become an Apostle.”
