Chapter 8: Half-Elf

[Oh? You’ve figured that out already? You’re indeed not a pure human.]

[If I remember correctly, future Eileen seems to have uncovered this, confirming Amelia’s maternal side had elven blood, right?]

[That’s right. Strictly speaking, Amelia is a Half-Elf.]

[The Steele Kingdom was actually destroyed because Amelia possessed elven blood. On the surface, it was a siege by the three human kingdoms, but in reality, elven higher-ups orchestrated the whole thing behind the scenes.]

[I still remember the scene where future Eileen, after investigating these matters, stormed the Elven Court. It was so satisfying!]

Watching the bullet comments, Amelia was quite shocked. She hadn’t expected she was a Half-Elf, nor had she imagined the fall of the Steele Kingdom was actually related to her elven bloodline!

[Mr. Trivia here: The relationship between Elves and Humans has always been terrible, so allowing bloodlines to exist outside is forbidden. However, the elves only discovered someone in the Steele Kingdom’s royal family was a Half-Elf, but hadn’t confirmed who exactly. So, they simply orchestrated the three kingdoms’ destruction of the Steele Kingdom.]

[Mr. Trivia above, you missed a crucial piece of information: Amelia’s bloodline isn’t just an ordinary Elven Bloodline.]

[If I remember correctly, Amelia possesses the royal bloodline of the Elven Court?]

[Precisely because it’s a royal bloodline, the elves so decisively wiped out the Steele Kingdom. To the Elves, the Royal Elven Bloodline is extremely important and must remain pure. A Half-Elf with the royal bloodline absolutely cannot exist.]

[Elves despise Humans, and they despise Half-Elves too.]

[But if I recall, the destruction of the Steele Kingdom wasn’t even an order from the Elven Court itself. It was an act by a high-ranking member acting on their own authority.]

[I remember that too. That guy gets beaten brutally by Eileen in the future.]

A Half-Elf possessing the royal Elven Bloodline?

Amelia finally understood her situation. Although the answer was surprising, she quickly accepted it.

If this was the case, should she try to gain power by believing in an Elf God?

According to the original owner’s memories, there were two gods belonging to the Elves.

The Divine Tree of Nature!

The Bard’s Bow!

“Eileen, do you know where I can find a Mindscape Diagram of the Divine Tree of Nature or the Bard’s Bow? I want to try them out,” Amelia immediately asked Eileen.

On the surface, she was asking Eileen, but in reality, she was asking the bullet comments.

“I don’t know,” Eileen shook her head, puzzled.

[Because of the poor relationship between Elves and Humans, Mindscape Diagrams of the Divine Tree of Nature and the Bard’s Bow are very hard to find in human society.]

[In the future, Eileen did see quite a few Mindscape Diagrams of the Divine Tree of Nature and the Bard’s Bow, but they were all quite far away.]

[The closest one, I remember it being in Falcon City?]

[Was there one in Falcon City? I don’t remember.]

[I also remember it being Falcon City. I recall there was a Slave Owner there who, trying to collect elf slaves, deliberately put a Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram with a fairly high Realism Level for sale in a shop. He was trying to lure any potential elves into discovering and buying it.]

[Now that you mention it, I remember. That Slave Owner was baiting elves. Since only an elf would have a reason to buy the Bard’s Bow’s Mindscape Diagram, whoever bought it, the Slave Owner would immediately get word and go capture them. A truly vile fellow.]

[If Amelia could obtain that Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram, her strength would definitely increase rapidly.]

[After all, Amelia has a Royal Elven Bloodline, so her cultivation speed would naturally be fast. Too bad, though. Why would Amelia happen to go to Falcon City?]

[Yeah, Falcon City is in the North, but it’s slightly to the northeast. If they go straight north, they won’t pass through Falcon City.]

The bullet comments chatted amongst themselves, expressing a feeling of being willing but unable to help regarding the current situation.

Inside the cave, Amelia stood up and said, “We should get moving, Eileen.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Eileen packed the usable items into a small bundle and came to Amelia’s side with it.

Amelia was 1.58 meters tall. Eileen was a bit taller, reaching 1.63 meters.

Now, the two of them walked to the cave entrance. Eileen pushed aside the rocks blocking it, and they stepped out into the morning sunlight.

“Miss, should we continue north? From here going down, we should reach Bonn City,” Eileen said, gazing into the distance.

The cities within the Steele Kingdom’s borders were now all under the control of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. But because the Three Kingdoms’ Army was limited in number, and the North was always a place where cult organizations ran rampant—organizations that would definitely not miss the chance to cause trouble amidst the chaos of war—the Allied Forces’ control over the cities would undoubtedly be weak. It wasn’t impossible for them to enter a city for supplies.

“We’re not going to Bonn City,” Amelia shook her head.

“Then where are we going?”

“Falcon City.”

Amelia had set her target.

Audience: “???”

[Wait, why is she suddenly going to Falcon City? Is there a reason?]

[Could it be that Amelia can see the bullet comments? Hahaha, I feel like this idea could write a novel.]

[This anime story has long since deviated significantly from the original plot. It can be watched as a new series, or rather, a fan-made series. Since it’s a fan work, many things can be explained.]

[How to explain?]

[It’s clear that the protagonist of this series is no longer Eileen, but Amelia. And who among us understands Amelia? In the original series, she died at the very start. Any later understanding of her was limited to what Eileen investigated. Meaning, we don’t understand the person Amelia herself.]

[I get it. Perhaps the original Amelia knew about the existence of the Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram in Falcon City a long time ago. It’s just now that she thought of trying whether an Elven God could grant her power. That’s why she chose to go to Falcon City. Her goal is the Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram.]

[That makes sense. Before things went wrong in the Steele Kingdom, Amelia had been searching for various high-realism Mindscape Diagrams. It wouldn’t be strange for her to know about the Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram in Falcon City.]

[But if they want to buy that Mindscape Diagram, they’ll be targeted by the Slave Owner.]

The bullet comments buzzed with discussion, quickly concocting a fairly reasonable explanation for the situation.

Seeing this, Amelia was rather speechless. She hadn’t expected everyone’s imagination to be so strong, but this reason… it seemed pretty good.

On September 9th, which was tomorrow, the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces would experience several days of chaos. At that time, they could break through the Allied Forces’ encirclement and leave. She had already learned the specific location of the chaos from the bullet comments.

Before that, she needed to quickly obtain the Bard’s Bow Mindscape Diagram in Falcon City and leave.
