Ariel Silversword was a half-elf dragon descendant. She even had the status of a princess in the elves. No matter if it was her birth or personal strength, she was an impeccable genius.
After that incident, she lost her status as a "seed" in the elves and had to fight for herself.
Back then, Rorschach didn't understand why the elves would give up on such a good talent just like that. She was even a princess with a high status in the elves. Were the silver elves really so rich? But later on, he discovered that this was his own fault.
Losing the competition wasn't a big deal. Although her reputation was damaged, it wasn't to the point where she would lose everything. What truly caused Ariel to fall out of favor was the bet.
Back then, Ariel only had the right to use the God Equipment Book of Ten Thousand Spells, but she didn't own it. In fact, even the Silver Elf War God didn't own it. The true owner was the Silver Elf Main God.
This was the equivalent of an employee driving the CEO's favorite luxury car, then running over to gamble with other people. Without any authorization, the employee lost the CEO's car … If it weren't for her status as a princess, perhaps she wouldn't have just been punished with a simple cancellation of her seed status.
Elves were famous for their arrogance. Their discrimination against other species was already a habit and culture. The reason why Ariel worked so hard previously was to prove herself … Perhaps no one would dare to criticize a mixed-blood princess in front of her, but behind her back, there was no lack of gossip and unwanted gazes.
But after losing the God Equipment, as well as the God Equipment and the Main God's trust, the half-blood princess' "half-blood" status became even more dazzling.
Ariel didn't give up. Instead, she worked as a mercenary to earn money and accumulate resources while using actual combat to train herself. The last time they met, Rorschach remembered that she was already a pure rank 5 job class.
Dragon descendant and mage status were priceless treasures, but they were also burdens. There was no need to mention how slow a mage's advancement was, and dragon descendant status required time to accumulate and improve. There was no point in being impatient.
But when Ariel really reached rank 5, that was to say, she had walked down her own path and gathered all her wealth into her own personal combat style. That was no longer a simple matter of one plus one equals two.
The current Ariel was becoming more and more famous, and she was now one of the best in the younger generation.
The Game Church had done an evaluation. If Rorschach were to duel with her again, it would be basically impossible for him to win. Of course, that was if he didn't use the cheat-like Paradise combat system.
That was no longer the level of an individual's combat power, but a national war that involved an entire church.
"She doesn't seem to be even twenty years old. She's a fifth-grade spellcaster and a dragon descendant …"
[She's older than you, so she's already passed that age. However, if we go by the age of the Elves, she's definitely a young girl. The other half of the Dragons in her blood matures even slower than the Elves … I even suspect that her appearance is a result of magic. Yep, even if it's not an illusion, she's at least using fake breast pads!]
The first part was still quite normal, but the second half went off the rails. When Roxia thought about how his younger sister hadn't even reached the age where she could use certain tools, he felt that it was far too normal for her to have some resentment.
"… Cough, no matter what, this is a good thing. Why don't we ask Su Xinqi?"
Half-beast Elf Su Xinqi was once a member of Ariel's May Rain Battle Group. However, she couldn't stay with the Silver Elves and joined the Game Church a few years ago.
Even so, she was still Ariel's good friend. The two of them even called each other sisters (Ariel was the older sister). There was no reason for Su Xinqi not to know about such an important matter.
Su Xinqi was one of the people who had benefited from the previous battle. She was currently in seclusion in an attempt to level up. However, Lori was able to contact her. Lori soon received a response.
"… Big Sister Ariel is really unhappy with the Silver Elves. Not only did she lose her right to become a seed, but there are also some internal matters … Since Big Sister has requested to transfer, I think I can tell you all about it. Her father didn't help her last time, and she only found out later that he had a lover and an illegitimate son. A pure-blooded Silver Elf prince was born. Although he's her younger brother, and technically she should be the first in line to inherit the throne, the Silver Elves … That's why Big Sister decided to go out on her own."
Perhaps it was because Lori was rather far away, but Rorschach was still able to quickly understand what was going on. It was nothing more than the usual lousy court history.
In Ariel's faction, she was talented, and the Main God had taken a liking to her. It was just like a middle-level daughter of a company being chosen by the CEO, so it was inevitable that she would become the next leader.
But later on, perhaps Ariel's loss of power gave her father new ideas, or perhaps he had long since fallen in love with her and had an illegitimate son, so he wanted to use this opportunity to make his illegitimate son the official heir. And so, not only did he not help his daughter at the critical moment, he even stepped on her while she was down.
"… That old man went overboard and said, 'You're just an accidental product. I have no interest in dragons at all. That female dragon lied to me! Who would let a bastard inherit my throne? 'He even said something like that to Big Sister Ariel. "
"That should have happened not long after we finished fighting the Battle of the Gods, right? No wonder she immediately went out to become mercenaries. I've never seen her return to the Silver Elves. "
Rorschach understood now. This was a family scandal. Their relationship had been quite subtle before, so there was no need for her to say it out loud.
Now that Su Xinqi said it so bluntly, considering her personality and her relationship with Ariel, Ariel must have allowed her to reveal it.
The situation was quite clear now. Ariel would probably find another family to transfer to sooner or later. Previously, she might not have taken a liking to a small family like the Game Church, but now that the Game Church had taken out enough capital to attract her, she made up her mind.
Rorschach nodded silently. These facts dispelled his final worries. No matter if it was in terms of ability or personality, May Rain and Ariel, who he had worked with before, were excellent companions.
Transferring to a descender was quite hurtful. As long as he didn't go overboard, he wouldn't have to worry about her transferring again. And with Rorschach's understanding of her, the two sides would likely work together quite well.
"… Alright, let's join then. The transfer fee … "
"Don't worry. After being a mercenary for so many years, Big Sister Ariel and the others have already redeemed themselves. There's no transfer fee at all. In fact, they'll even bring some good stuff."
Su Xinqi's voice was filled with joy. There was no need to guess anymore. They must have discussed this beforehand.
"Good stuff? Heh, then we'll look forward to it. "
Rorschach thought that it was just some weapons and equipment, but he didn't expect that Ariel would really bring a big gift not long after.
Now, Rorschach was focused on discussing the future personnel arrangements with Lori. Unlike the previous recruits, it would be too much of a waste to leave Ariel, who had brought along an elite team of her own.
"Perhaps we can also consider exploring the No Man's Land?"
Although he still needed to consider other people's applications, Rorschach felt that there shouldn't be any problems with just adding May Rain and Ariel, who he had already contacted before.
