After running nearly five kilometers from the coastline, everyone was panting heavily. Teacher Bladiconde Gallanod also woke up.
I communicated our current situation to her, glossing over the effects of my previous casting of Abyssal Eternity with subtle phrasing.
Although it was perilous, this adventure was a success; all objectives were achieved. As for the Elves' vessel, the flowing silver - spiritual pivot, they would have to recover it themselves.
Because we were washed ashore by the waves, we were currently lost. We could only confirm our approximate location—south of the Bihiel Kingdom—by vaguely seeing the Red Dragon Mountain Range in the distance.
Currently, we could only head north. Fortunately, everyone was a relatively professional Adventurer. We could replenish our water supply with Water Magic, and the monsters along the way could serve as food.
We walked like that for about a month before finally finding a village.
Using the gold coins I hid in my socks, we bought four horses for transportation and set off toward Senge City.
The Elves' sacred artifact, the flowing silver - spiritual pivot, seemed to have merged into my arm after I used it to cast magic.
This was truly awkward. I hadn't planned on keeping the sacred artifact, but the teacher didn't seem worried, perhaps because she knew some secret.
Another three months passed before we finally arrived, covered in dust, back in Senge City.
Upon receiving notification of our return, Federico, along with eleven other Elves, came to greet us.
This must be the Elder Council, the highest decision-making body of Senge City.
After sending Izoruti and the other companions back to the inn, I was led by the Elven elders into a magnificent, opulent hall.
When I saw this hall from the outside, it felt somewhat familiar, and upon entering, my suspicion was confirmed.
This was a replica of the Luminous Temple from the seabed! When entering the hall, the female mages holding staffs and wearing robes, the Elven archers wearing cloaks and tight-fitting warrior attire, and the Elven swordsmen holding greatswords and wearing ornate armor—they were all identical to the sculptures in the Luminous Temple underwater.
"Daolin, you must have seen this temple on the seabed. This one imitates the temple of our Elven homeland."
"Yes, I have seen this temple. Is the Magic Rehearsal Hall from there here as well?"
"Haha, you jest. Sculptures capable of using ancient Elven magic cannot be created by anyone who doesn't possess the ability for spell-less casting. Of course, there are no such sculptures here. If it is convenient for you in the future, I would still hope you could come and replicate those statues here."
"Alright! But I don't have the time right now. Let's leave it for later! Is that why you brought me here?"
"No, you will know soon enough."
After walking for about 20 more minutes, we reached our destination for this trip.
Upon entering the room, I immediately recognized the purpose: an altar identical to the one in the Luminous Temple—the very one where I had pulled out the flowing silver - spiritual pivot.
"Please insert the flowing silver - spiritual pivot into this altar."
I condensed the flowing silver - spiritual pivot in my hand and walked up to the altar.
To be honest, I felt a little reluctant to part with this sacred artifact, but I would not betray the agreement. Some things, once done, cannot be undone.
I inserted the flowing silver - spiritual pivot in my hand into the altar.
Instantly, the entire altar emitted a brilliant light. Countless magical elements flowed into my body through the air, and then through my body into this altar.
