The depths of the Moon Pavilion, the elven capital of Trinia.
It was still early in the day, but this natural structure that was made up of wooden aerial roots and countless vines, located at the roots of the giant Moon Tree, was extremely dark.
It wasn't exactly dark, though. If one had to describe it, it was as if shrouded in night.
The fruits of the Moon Tree were quietly spreading the moonlight stored in the night, making the atmosphere of the Moon Pavilion even more tranquil and sacred.
There was a small lake at the center of the Moon Pavilion, its waters reflecting the fruits of the Moon Tree that were glowing faintly like the stars in the night sky.
At the moment, a group of wood elves were sitting around the edge of the lake, staring anxiously at its surface — an emotion rarely seen on the faces of elderly elves who were over a thousand years old and didn't know the passage of time.
If one's gaze could see past the lake surface that was as dark as the night sky and was dotted with countless stars, they would notice a petite figure floating in the middle of the lake.
It was Sefarim, the greatest treasure of the wood elves that was temporarily loaned to the Player Jessica as a symbol of friendship with humans (mainly the believers of the God of Games).
Her eyes were tightly shut at the moment, her face pale and her expression a little uncomfortable.
Miraculously, she was clearly submerged in the water, but she could still breathe, with her flat chest rising and falling rhythmically.
If Xi Wei were to look at her with his Divine Eye, he would realize that the 'lake' wasn't actually water, but liquid moonlight that the elves had accumulated over thousands of years.
All of it came from the Silver Moon, and from a certain perspective, it was a part of the divine grace of Luna, the Goddess of the Silver Moon. Though it couldn't compare to the power of sunlight or the Goddess of Life, that divine grace could help life grow, cure diseases and curses. In fact, for some of the elves who were especially devout and whose souls would stay in Luna's divine kingdom for a long time after death, the lake water could bring them back to life!
And right now, Sefarim was ceaselessly absorbing the moonlight's purification, so much so that the water level of the lake was slowly dropping.
The faces of several elven elders who had been watching over the Moonlight Lake all year round to prevent thieves and thieves from stealing the lake water twitched. Obviously, they were distressed by the rapid reduction of the lake water, but they didn't dare to look away for fear that something would happen to the precious girl.
Of course, the drop in level was' visible 'to the elves who could sit for a year, but it was difficult for a human like Jessica to notice without any comparison.
As the only human by the lake, she could not help but ask Nina, "Is Fomm alright?"
While the other elves could only determine Sefarim's condition from her expression and appearance, the Elven Queen who held the highest authority in the Moon Pavilion had a deeper understanding of Sefarim's condition.
Sefarim's body was disintegrating on a microscopic level, with the waters of Moonlight Lake replenishing the disintegrated parts to form a new body and organs.
Even if it wasn't apparent from the outside, Sefarim's body had been completely replaced inside out.
Not even the Elven Queen had heard of such a thing, and she couldn't tell if it was good or bad.
In fact, she wasn't even sure if Sefarim, who had been replaced from start to finish, was still the same person.
Still, she didn't want to lie to Jessica's worried question, so she simply frowned and shook her head. "I'm sorry. I'm not sure."
"How could this be …"
Jessica's expression became even more worried.
She simply didn't expect such an outcome when she slew Aojo.
To be fair, Aojo was indeed powerful, and not even the Players' gang up on it could do much against it (of course, it had to do with the Players not reaching Level 50 and learning Colored Skills at the time). Still, Aojo was just a little unusual, and in terms of pressure and raw power, the Drake that appeared in the Trinia Forests was clearly stronger.
Moreover, Sefarim didn't show any symptoms after slaying the Drake, and Jessica thought that there shouldn't have been any problem in slaying Aojo as well.
But she didn't expect this to happen.
The girl couldn't help blaming herself.
"It's too early to be sad." Though the Elven Queen appeared to be in her twenties, she had lived for a long time and could see the girl's guilt at once, and so consoled her gently and kindly. "It's not necessarily a bad thing."
"Really?" jESSICA had some hope in her heart when she heard that.
"Yeah." The Elven Queen didn't dare to guarantee it.
Still, from her point of view, instead of saying that Sefarim had a problem and was being repaired, it was more likely that some hidden condition had been triggered and was being updated …
Still, it was a pity that Sefarim was a treasure inherited from the high elves. After the War of Gods and Demons, the high elves were wiped out, and the wood elves were forced to stay in Trinia to survive. Sefarim's own memories had somehow become incomplete and unusable as reference, or they might have found some clues.
Just as Jessica was looking at Sefarim expectantly, a Moon Celestial Guard entered from outside the Moon Pavilion and sent a message to the Elven Queen with a banana leaf that was written in elven language.
The Elven Queen glanced at it once before gently patting Jessica's shoulder.
"What is it, Lady Nina?" Jessica looked at her in confusion.
"Your friends are here." Nina handed the banana leaf to Jessica.
Even if Jessica couldn't read the elven language, she could guess who the Elven Queen was talking about.
She gave Sefarim another long look before leaving the Moon Pavilion with Nina to the palace the wood elves used to receive their guests.
When Jessica entered the room and was about to greet everyone, she noticed that one person was missing.
"Where's Eleena? Didn't she come? "Jessica asked curiously.
"Jessica, stay here." The sack beside Edward rolled a little.
Jessica blinked, and then gasped. "You're planning to sell St … Eleena?"
"We elves don't like humans keeping slaves, just as we don't like keeping our own slaves." The Elven Queen, who arrived right behind them, glanced at Edward and the others and said solemnly.
That forced Edward and the others to explain their purpose in coming to Trinia as best they could.
Jessica promptly became dejected when she heard that he didn't come to Trinia for her.
Nina, however, gave Jessica a doting look before saying, "It would take some time to appraise the sack and the rope. Edward, you could go out with Jessica for a while."
"No need." Edward, the man of steel, said without hesitation. "I'll stay here and learn about elven culture. Doug, Joe, you and Jessica should go out and play. "
Gou Dan and Joe promptly shook their heads at Jessica's threatening gaze, all of them professing their unparalleled admiration for elven culture and their desire to learn here as well …
Hence, the Elven Queen could only examine the weird sack under their gazes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
