For Han Jin, the magic crystals sent by Sunier were a timely rain. He didn't have time to explain anything and began to meditate. He meditated for a few days and nights. Other than occasionally using magic crystals to replenish his energy, he didn't move at all. Fortunately, Morrisons, Sunier, and the others weren't people without opinions. When Han Jin was there, they were used to asking for Han Jin's opinion. When Han Jin wasn't there, they didn't panic and went about their business.
The busiest person among them was probably Sunier. She ran in and out of Han Jin's room all day long. Sometimes, she would come back to observe Han Jin through the window. Obviously, she had something to say. However, Han Jin was always sitting on the bed. Sunier knew that Han Jin was meditating, so she could only leave resentfully.
One day, it was almost midnight. Sunier and Yalina bumped into each other in front of Han Jin's courtyard. As soon as they met, Sunier complained, "Yalina, where have you been? I've been looking for you the whole morning! "
"Winston and the others took us to almost half of Isolated Cliff City, but I couldn't find a magic laboratory that I was satisfied with. Sunier, you don't understand. Enchantment can't tolerate any mistakes. It's not a big deal if the precious materials are destroyed, but sometimes there are even elemental explosions! Sigh … if only we were in the Capital of Elements. " Yalina said with a sad face. At this time, she realized that Sunier was also sad like her. Yalina asked curiously, "Sunier, what's wrong?"
"Too many things!" Sunier smiled bitterly.
"Haven't we done everything that needs to be done? What else is there? "
"The elves from Wild Willow City have arrived. The auction will be held tomorrow. I have to ask for a few invitations, right? Otherwise, how can Chipango's friend get in? "
"How did he get in before?" Yalina paused and smiled. "Also … didn't you come from Wild Willow City? You should be familiar with them. Isn't this a small thing easy? "
"He could get in before, but now he has to go in openly. How can he do that without an invitation?" Sunier smiled bitterly. "I thought everything was simple, but now that I've done it myself, I realize that there are so many trivial things! What a headache … and those elves are from the Senate. I'm not familiar with them, so I have to deal with them again. "
Yalina smiled but didn't say anything. In her opinion, Sunier, as the descendant of Abraham, the God of War, and Doreen, the Elf Messenger, had a superior status among the elves. She could solve this problem with just a few words.
Yalina didn't understand Sunier's difficulties, nor did she know the reason why Sunier left Wild Willow City. Now, the development of the situation forced Sunier to deal with the elves from the Senate. From the bottom of her heart, Sunier was very reluctant, but she had no other choice.
"I just asked for a few invitations and asked them to cooperate with Chipango's friend. Do you know how long it took me to talk?" Sunier said helplessly. "From noon until now!"
"It didn't work out?"
"It worked out in the end, but …"
Yalina looked at Sunier's face and guessed that the process wasn't very pleasant. She immediately comforted her. "Since it's done, don't think about it anymore. Let's get together later and discuss what to do tomorrow. Where's Raphael? Is he still inside? "
"Yes." Sunier nodded. "This is also what's giving me a headache. Tomorrow, we'll try to contact Eva, but he's still cultivating. There's no one who can make the final decision."
"I've never heard of anyone who can maintain a state of meditation for several days and nights. This … should have something to do with his strange magic," Yalina said thoughtfully. "And his posture was also very strange. I imitated him and sat for a while. My legs were so sore and numb that I almost couldn't walk!"
After Yalina finished speaking, she saw Sunier's smile. She suddenly realized and asked, "You've learned it too?"
"Yes, I ended up in a similar situation as you. It took me a long time to recover."
The two looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, a soft sound came from Han Jin's room. It wasn't loud, but it made Sunier and Yalina feel very uncomfortable. It was as if someone had taken a drum and hit their hearts, making their blood boil.
Sunier and Yalina were stunned and rushed into the yard at the same time. Han Jin's room was brightly lit. Through the window, they could clearly see that Han Jin had gotten up and was standing in the middle of the room. A bright longsword was floating and swaying. Following Han Jin's hand gestures, strange rays of light flew out one after another and hit the longsword one after another. Every hit made a sound as if it could penetrate a person's body.
"What's going on?!" Sunier's face was a little pale. She felt as if a big hand was kneading her heart.
"This sound is aggressive!" Yalina quickly chanted a spell. Immediately, a huge magic barrier opened and shrouded Han Jin's room.
Sunier felt a little more relaxed. Just as she was about to speak, Yalina elbowed her and said, "Look!"
A small white fireball flew out from Han Jin's palm and hit the longsword. Immediately, it turned into a dazzling white light. The magic barrier released by Yalina could only block the sound, but it couldn't block the vibration or the light. In an instant, the glass on the room's window shattered into countless pieces and flew in all directions. Beams of light penetrated the room and pierced the sky diagonally, even illuminating half of the sky.
Although the Reaper Mercenary Group's base was not small, the rooms and yards were all close to each other. The strange sound immediately alarmed the others. Not to mention the people nearby, even the mercenaries patrolling along the edge of the city saw the dazzling beam of light.
Seeing people rushing over, Sunier hurriedly said, "Don't let others see him, quick!"
Yalina was stunned. Then, she released another magic barrier. The outline of the whole room gradually became blurred and finally turned into a faintly discernible fog.
"What's going on?!" Léger, who was closest to them, was the first to rush over. Then, Gibran, Julia, Winston, and the others also arrived.
"Raphael wanted to make a magic sword, but … there was an accident." Sunier braced herself and explained.
"What about Raphael? Is he okay? "Léger asked hurriedly.
Hearing Léger's words, Sunier's heart suddenly jumped. She didn't see Han Jin just now, but things had already come to this point. She could only hold on because Han Jin had a lot of secrets. Before she got Han Jin's approval, she had the responsibility to hide them.
"It's okay, don't worry." Sunier said with a smile.
In fact, Sunier was wrong. Han Jin was in a very bad situation. The two flying swords he made before were at most talisman swords. They weren't refined, so their power was very limited. Han Jin could defeat strong enemies with flying swords because he learned the technique of layering talismans from his master. If he only relied on one talisman, he would have died long ago.
This time, after he absorbed the energy of several fire attribute magic crystals and condensed the fire elements into the Three True Fire, he suddenly had an idea. He tried to use the Three True Fire to refine those swords. He also wanted to have a real flying sword that was worthy of its name! Unfortunately, this was his first time refining, so he couldn't control the Three True Fire as he wished. As a result, he caused trouble.
Winston, Léger, and the others couldn't see what was going on inside, so they thought that Han Jin had asked Yalina to release a magic barrier. After chatting for a while, they all dispersed.
When the crowd finally dispersed, Sunier hurriedly rushed into the barrier, followed by Yalina. Han Jin's room became dark again. Sunier went to the window. Under the faint moonlight, she saw that Han Jin had returned to his bed, sitting still in his original position. The long sword floating in the air was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that Han Jin was fine, Sunier let out a long sigh of relief. Yalina whispered, "Let's go. I feel that he's at a critical moment, so we shouldn't disturb him. I'll seal this place with a magic array later."
"Okay." Sunier nodded.

Hallister stood at the door of the shop, looked up at the ancient elven characters on the signboard, and let out a long sigh. His future might change drastically after he stepped through the door in front of him. Today was the day of the auction for the Moonlight Perfume. Hallister had asked around in private, and all of them believed Chipango's words about Han Jin's identity as a dragon slayer. He knew that this might be his last chance. If he missed this chance, he would never have another chance to meet a super-grade master again. Hallister clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles started to turn white.
"Young master, it's time to go in." Gail bowed slightly in an extremely elegant manner. He was the butler of the Grand Duke of the Elemental Gate, so he naturally knew a lot about etiquette.
Hallister glanced at Gail and relaxed a little. What was there to be afraid of? With a dragon slayer behind him, what couldn't he do? Besides, he wasn't going to be sent to the battlefield. He was only going to be sent to deal with a woman. Thinking of this, Hallister's lips curled up into his usual lazy smile. He never lacked confidence when it came to women.
Straightening his chest, Hallister finally moved his feet and walked through the door.
The exterior of the shop looked very simple and not grand at all. However, as soon as he walked through the door, he saw an extraordinarily spacious hall. Everyone who entered the shop for the first time would feel their eyes light up, as if they were suddenly enlightened.
A chandelier made up of hundreds of magic lamps hung down from the top of the hall. The walls of each magic lamp had been carved with intricate patterns by expert craftsmen. Light shone through the patterns and onto the walls, forming countless obscure ancient elven characters. What was even more bizarre was that each line of these runes was slowly rotating in a different direction. It turned out that the chandelier was constantly rotating. This didn't seem very complicated, but anyone who could understand ancient elven characters would be shocked to discover that every time the runes on the walls rearranged themselves, they would form a sentence with a different meaning. This was no longer just a matter of craftsmanship. It was simply a masterpiece of uncanny craftsmanship.
Apart from this chandelier, there were no other decorations in the hall. This only accentuated the majesty of this masterpiece. It had to be said that in terms of art, humans would never be able to keep pace with the elves even if they were to experience it for another few thousand years.
Even though he had seen this miraculous chandelier several times, Hallister still couldn't help but fall into a daze when he walked through the door. Gail, who was behind him, was even more shocked. Even though Gail didn't understand ancient elven characters, with his experience, he could naturally tell that the constantly rotating runes on the walls weren't just useless decorations.
There were already a few dozen people sitting or standing in the hall. Most of them were women, and every single one of them was dazzling and beautiful. Occasionally, there would be a man, accompanied by one or several graceful noblewomen.
Thus, when Hallister, Gail, Nildac, and Myron walked into the hall, they attracted the attention of most people. However, to Hallister, the gazes of women didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, they were as indispensable as fine wine. Hallister walked as if there was no one around him, and returned a faint smile. His deep blue eyes seemed to be able to speak, causing the women who were looking at him to have the illusion that this indescribably handsome blonde young man was smiling at them.
Even though Gail was experienced and had seen many grand occasions, being stared at by so many beautiful women at the same time made this first butler of the duke's manor feel uncomfortable all over, as if there were thorns in his back. Looking at Hallister walking in front of him with a smile, Gail couldn't help but have an absurd thought. How good would it be if he was as handsome as him when he was young?
At that moment, an elven girl walked over. Of course, she only looked like a girl. Everyone on the continent knew that even a thousand-year-old elven girl would look no more than thirty years old.
This elven girl's eyebrows were like a painting, and her smooth face didn't have the slightest bit of makeup. She didn't have a single accessory on her body, and only wore a long dress made of cotton. However, if one looked closely, they would find that there wasn't a single trace of silk on her dress.
"Please forgive my rudeness," the elven girl said with a smile. The Elven girl smiled and said, "This is the rule here. Can I have a look at your invitation?"
This elven shop had always been a high-end shop. Although they didn't normally prohibit ordinary people from coming here, today was the day of the monthly Moonlight Perfume auction. Naturally, they couldn't just let anyone in. Those who could enter had to have received an invitation from them. Of course, those with sufficiently high status were excluded.
Hallister took out his invitation and handed it over. The elven girl looked at it and immediately smiled apologetically. "Sorry to disturb you." Then, she turned and left.
