Chapter 317: Episode 16 Magic Bead_4

"Could it be guessed from her name?" Lynch wondered in his heart. The name "Zilvra" did indeed originate from the Dark Elf Language, but in the surface world, this name, although uncommon, is not unheard of. Moreover, using just a name as a reason for suspicion is not in the nature of the Elf Clan—they always start judging things from a good-natured perspective.

If I deny this, Anna will probably not investigate further. The shared life of adventures has already formed trust in the mage’s heart. But how could Lynch deceive his friend?

"Yes, she is a Drow, or more precisely, a half-Dark Elf." Lynch confirmed, "She comes from Ratris City."

Anna nodded, looked around once more, and when she was sure that no one was around, she said, "Lynch, why did you bring her with you? If discovered, it will be a very terrible thing. Moreover, do you know the character of that woman? Don’t you realize you are in danger?"

"Danger?" Lynch shook his head, "I don’t think there’s any danger. To me, Zilvra possesses a good soul." The mage thought for a moment, then said, "Anna, from your tone, it seems you knew Zilvra before, is that so?"

"Know?" The elf’s expression turned very serious, "If you are talking about the name Zilvra, I have only heard it in recent days. But I think every elf in Salantir has heard of the name ’Drow Executioner.’ Although Dark Elves use some secret passages to attack elves, causing some casualties, our efforts have gradually curbed this trend. However, in recent years, some scattered elf settlements outside Salantir have been frequently attacked, most often by a skilled assassin proficient in using a thin sword. His equipment is very high quality, much like that of a Dark Elf Noble. But unlike typical nobles, he frequently appears in ground slaughter missions usually attended only by Drow apprentices, causing a lot of harm. Sometimes, he even ventures alone to the surface, as if killing has become an indispensable part of his life. Even though patrol teams occasionally spot his tracks, no elf has been able to capture this terrifying killer. Since he uses weapons instead of spells, we always believed it was a male Drow. Until one day, I and a group of companions encountered that executioner."

Lynch furrowed his brow. Although Anna stood in front of him and Zilvra was clearly unharmed, that encounter didn’t harm these two people before him. But given Zilvra’s skills, it surely led to elf casualties, a rift not easily mended.

Zilvra must also have recognized Anna and felt threatened, as this is, after all, the elves’ kingdom. Meanwhile, Anna picked up clues and became worried about Lynch’s safety. Both sides are Lynch’s friends, yet they belong to opposing races, and even though Lynch wishes for them to let go of their hatred, it is not something that can be solved with just a few words.

"I fought that Drow for a long time; I never imagined such an agile swordsman. If not for our superior numbers and the approaching dawn, I believe I would have been dead by now. Although I didn’t see the Dark Elf’s face, I can confirm she was a female Drow. But what puzzled me the most was the white skin on her neck, which caused my aimed arrow to lose its target due to my surprised and trembling hands."

"Moreover, it’s not just me who has probably noticed this," Anna finally said.
