In the Dark Elf Kingdom...
The Dark Elf Saint sat quietly, looking at the Black Stag, the rest of the Dark Elf elders, and the masters present in the place.
She remained silent for a few moments, as if rearranging all the events that had occurred since the appearance of the groups in the city.
Then she said quietly:
"Hmm..."
She paused briefly, then continued thoughtfully:
"Is it possible that the person who took the seed is the same one who created all this chaos from the very beginning?"
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
"And perhaps he is the one who spread the matter of the seed to the world from the beginning..."
This possibility explained a lot of things.
The chaos had appeared in the city immediately after the arrival of the groups, and the news about the seed had spread across the continent of Mira in a strange way.
And perhaps those events were not separate from each other.
The Black Stag thought about the Saint's words for a few moments, then looked at the Dark Elf elders and the masters, and said:
"Did you feel anything wrong in the city before these insects entered here?"
The masters looked at each other.
The Dark Elf elders also looked at the Black Stag with some doubt.
Then one of the elders said:
"We didn't feel anything strange in the city."
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"And if there really was an infiltrator who reached the city before those groups, and spread the matter of the seed after learning about it, he must be very powerful to be able to do that without us noticing."
The rest of the attendees nodded seriously.
The possibility was logical...
But they had no real proof.
As for the Dark Elf Saint...
She didn't see much use in this discussion.
She had begun to feel that they were going around in circles with the same questions without reaching a real answer.
She thought of the last resort she didn't want to use.
Then she sighed quietly.
And took out a strange-shaped black crystal.
She stared at it for a few moments, then said in a calm voice, yet carrying a hint of submission:
"Something was stolen from us..."
She paused for a moment.
Then added:
"Can you help us retrieve it?"
And in the Fallen Islands...
The Elf Saint was looking at the person who was reporting the news coming from the continent of Mira.
The man remained standing before her, explaining what had happened.
But as soon as he finished speaking...
The Elf Saint's expression changed.
She said in shock:
"Is the matter of the seed true?"
The masters present in the place also looked at each other in shock.
None of them expected the seed to actually exist.
They thought the matter was just news and rumors spread among the various powers.
But now...
The matter was completely different.
And before anyone could utter a word, the Elf Saint said in a firm, indisputable voice:
"I will return to the continent of Mira."
Then she looked at the masters and added:
"You take charge of the Fallen Islands. Understood?"
The masters couldn't object this time.
The matter was of utmost importance.
And the seed, if it truly existed, represented a danger that could not be ignored.
The Elf Saint had to handle the matter herself.
And for this reason...
She didn't wait any longer.
She prepared well to return to the continent of Mira as quickly as possible.
