Woo, woo . The wind on the plains at night was like a ghost's wail . The moonlight was ghastly pale in the sky, illuminating the world with cold light and turning it into a ghost region . All the animals were quiet because of the seemingly repressive atmosphere . There was no noise .

After Link uttered that phrase, Elovan's heart skipped a beat . His eyes flew to Link, and then he lowered his head, gripping his World Tree magic wand . "Lord," he mumbled, "how do you prepare to punish us?"

Milose hadn't been tortured, so he was in a better state of mind than Elovan . It had been many hours since the horrible torture; he'd recovered greatly . Hearing Link's words, he inhaled sharply . "Link, you're the lord of Ferde . You can punish us if you think we've committed something bad, but you should still consider the interests of Ferde, right?"

Link nodded . "You're right . I indeed must consider the interests of Ferde . That is why I can't let you return to the Isle of Dawn . "

"You want to kill us?" Milose paled .

"That's not the best plan . " Link shook his head . With that, he smiled at Elovan . "If I remember correctly, you're from a commoner family in the Isle of Dawn . Your father is a minor official while your mother died while giving birth to you . That is why your father has hated you since your birth . He thinks you're the physical incarnate of bad luck, is that right?"

Elovan nodded silently .

His background wasn't difficult to investigate . Once he entered the Legendary level, it was like entering the spotlight . Anyone who wanted to know his past only had to spend some money . Link was the lord of a wealthy territory . It was extremely easy if he wanted to know these things .

Reminded by Link, Elovan couldn't help but think of his past . When he was little, he would be beaten and punished by his father for no reason . At eight years old, he was forced out of his home . No matter how he cried and screamed, it was to no avail .

If the old Magician in the village didn't adopt him, if he didn't display high magic talent, he would definitely be part of the Isle of Dawn's lowest cla.s.s .

Seeing Elovan sink into deep thought, Link turned to Milose . "As for you, your bloodline isn't that pure . You have a tinge of human of blood given by your great-grandmother . Because of that, you've always been marginalized . It doesn't matter how excellent you are…In reality, this is the same for your father and grandfather, right?"

This. .h.i.t Milose's weak spot . He also lowered his head in silence .

Mutt!

Sc.u.m!

Get out of the Isle of Dawn!

These were the phrases he'd heard the most . Whenever he had a conflict with someone else, High Elves would insult him, either to his face or behind his back . Whenever he heard these words, it would feel like someone stabbing his chest with a knife . It felt horrible .

Then Link gazed at Princess Ariel's spatial seal statue and smiled . "Look at this one, the n.o.ble elven princess . She isn't as powerful as you two, she isn't as skilled as you two, but just because of her status, she received the powerful World Impaler . Look at the magic bracelet on her wrist and the beautiful magic robe on her body . Tsk, so enviable . "

With that, Link suddenly turned to the wand in Milose's hand . "Hmm, you actually treasure a wand made from a twig . The Mana inside that wand is as messy as a pile of trash . "

That really hit Milose hard . Even though they were all from the World Tree, the branches had different qualities too . His wand indeed had the lowest quality of the four Legendary Magicians . His hand retracted subconsciously, hiding the wand that Link had insulted .

Link chuckled . "You can hide the wand, but you can't hide your robe . Your robe…tsk, it's only for an elite Magician, right? I thought Legendary Magicians should wear the Wild Robe that Sonya and Elovan have . Why are you wearing a Natural Robe? Did no one tell you or did they not make it for you yet?

Milose's face reddened . Link was right . Of the five new Legendary Magicians, only he was still wearing a Natural Robe . It was difficult to make a Wild Robe, so only one was made per month . He was last in line .

This wasn't that bad, but after Link pointed it out, he felt humiliated .

"No, it's just not my turn yet . It's not—"

"Oh, it's not your turn yet . So why are you last?"

"I…" Milose couldn't reply . He knew the reason—it was because of his bloodline .

After that, Link turned to Elovan . Even though he had a pure bloodline, he didn't have a powerful family . His treatment wasn't any better .

"You're wearing a Wild Robe, but it just feels weird for some reason . Oh, they really slacked off when making it . Look, you also have the Natural Guidance spell, but your guidance rate is only 70% . Ariel's is 98% . Compared to hers, yours is just a rag . "

"Ariel is a princess," Elovan refuted weakly .

"Oh, she's a princess . A princess is so high-cla.s.s!"

Here, Link suddenly undid the spatial seal on Princess Ariel . Time started acting on her body again . Link had stabbed her heart . A strong figure wouldn't die from it, but it was still a heavy injury .

Once the seal was undone, Ariel collapsed onto the ground . Her body was limp and powerless .

Link cast a dragon recovery spell for her, managing to heal her wound and keep her alive . However, she still couldn't move . Any movement would cause extreme pain .

She scanned Link, Elovan, and Milose . Link had a cold sneer, Elovan looked downtrodden and weak, and Milose's face had a fury that even he didn't realize he had .

Ariel was smart . She knew immediately that things would go bad now . These two High Elves would probably turn towards Ferde .

She opened her mouth to speak, but she felt her tongue go numb . Something restrained her . Other than "ah," she couldn't say anything else .

Link activated the Magician's Hand, and Ariel's World Impaler flew to him . Then he gave it to Milose . "Take it and stab Ariel's chest in one move!"

Milose gaped . He reached out but didn't dare accept the World Impaler . "No, I can't . I can't do that . I'll die!"

If he did it, he would never be able to turn back and return to the Isle of Dawn .

Link scoffed . "Oh, so you can live if you don't do it?"

Milose winced . He looked up at Link to see that his hand was already on his sword . He knew Link . He knew Link had top-tier swordsmans.h.i.+p and magic . With their close distance, Link could kill him and Elovan in an instant .

They wouldn't even be able to fight back .

Should he die now?

Or kill Ariel, join Ferde, and fight for a chance to live?

It wasn't even a choice .

Trembling, Milose took the World Impaler . Grasping it with both hands, he moved towards the struggling Ariel .

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Ariel screamed with her eyes wide open . Her movements were too big and opened her wound many times . Link was forced to heal her a bit so she wouldn't die halfway through .

Finally, Milose got to Ariel and pressed the sword tip to her chest… Then he relaxed his hold . Due to gravity, the sharp sword pierced Ariel's chest, nailing her to the ground .

Link recorded this entire process with a Memory Crystal .

After Milose was done, he said to Elovan, "You too . Stab her . "

Elovan had already given up . He was willing to do anything to live and was more resolute than Milose . He walked over, yanked out the World Impaler, aimed at Ariel's heart, and stabbed down .

"Uh . " Ariel twitched violently . Grasping the sword hilt, she gaped at Elovan .

Now, she realized that her tongue wasn't restrained anymore . She could speak . Voice rough, she said, "Why?"

It could be said that Milose had been forced, but Elovan had done it without hesitation . He'd decided on joining Ferde .

Elovan didn't reply . He pulled out the World Impaler and turned to Milose . "Milose, I belong to Ferde now . What about you?"

The sword in Elovan's hand dripped with blood as he spoke . It was as if he could kill Milose if needed too .

Milose had no way back . He stepped forward, grabbed the World Impaler, and raised it . He stabbed through Ariel's forehead, nailing this talented High Elf princess to the ground .

Then he said, "Me too . "

He'd thought it through .

Technically, Milose was a half-elf . He knew that Ferde had a half-elf with a high position too . That guy was called Eliard .

Since Eliard could accomplish that, why couldn't he? In Ferde, he had opportunities that he would never have in the Isle of Dawn!

Link chuckled . He waved, and the World Impaler jumped out of Ariel's forehead . Her corpse ignited too . It burned to ashes in the fire and blew away with the wind .

Link could control Milose and Elovan, so he chose to take them in . Princess Ariel was a top talent . She hadn't matured fully, but she would definitely become a terrifying Magician in the future .

Link wasn't confident he could control someone like that, so he chose to destroy her .

He still had one more captive—the Naga, Katyusha .

He'd thought of a way to deal with her too . However, he didn't have the needed method of control . For this, he had to return to Ferde and brainstorm with the core Magicians .

"Alright, my companions, let us return to Ferde . Once there, you must change your appearance and ident.i.ty for safety . "

"Yes, Lord . "

Elovan and Milose saluted to Link .
