Chapter 1047: The Elven Rider of the South III

”We greet a great ancestor. Forgive the sudden outburst of your fellow people as it has been so long since they encountered one of your kind. The Guardian of the Misty Forest died five hundred years ago which is why some of the newborns do not know your aura.” A beautiful sonorous female voice sounded as her figure could now be seen as she made way into the path where the mist is parted.

The one that came forward is Mist Elf that seems to be in the late stages of twenty, but she is clearly older due to her elven heritage. There are two things that the elves received from the Faekin which is their ethereal beauty and longevity. Although the longevity is determined by oneʼs elven species.

All the Mist Elves in the surroundings are a few levels above Levin Cloud but his bloodline basically suppressed them. This is further amplified because of the forest setting which both his life and death energy are present. He could basically go toe to toe with a level 280 Mist Elf as long as he is careful.

”You are?” Levin Cloud asked as he did not catch a name for the sudden powerful being that presented herself.

My name is Ceo Foraoise but you can just call me by my first name. I am the current head and elder of the Mist Elves. Can you please release them as we do not want to antagonize a great being such as yourself? They are only a hundred or so years old so please be merciful.” Elder Ceo stated as she bowed towards Levin Cloud which the other Mist Elves saw.

Upon seeing their elder bow towards Levin Cloud, the mist elves that were not captured proceeded to bow as well. Levin Cloud suddenly felt like a villain or awkward since he initiated the attack first. To also give them a favorable impression, Levin Cloud immediately let go of the mist elves that he captured.

”Thank you very much, Esteemed Guardian. May we know the Esteemed Guardianʼs name?” Elder Ceo stated as her eyes twinkled as if she is smitten.

”I am called Levin Cloud and the two laughing at my face are my companions. The female in shadowy armor is named Solstice while the hooded one is Creepysoo.” Levin Cloud stated.

”Are they your servants, Esteemed Guardian Levin Cloud?” Elder Ceo asked which made the two burst out into laughing because they could see Levin Cloudʼs red face.

”No, they are my companions for this journey we are on. We wanted to ask you something if that is alright.” Levin Cloud stated in a slightly formal tone as he could not cope up with the sudden attention he is getting. It was a good thing that Peridot is not with him or else she might have punched Elder Ceo in the face.

”Whatever the esteemed guardian wants, we the Mist Elves of the Misty Forest shall grant it.” Elder Ceo stated.

Elder Ceo led the way to their settlement which is a hidden clearing inside a group of willow trees. If one is not able to see through the mist and darkness, then they will not be able to find this place. Elder Ceo even said that the pathway changes every full moon which is why one needs to memorize all twelve locations.

”Is it me or is she unnervingly welcoming? I am an undead which is not that accepted by other elves that are not part of the Church of the Twin Gods, but they do not seem to mind.” Creepysoo stated which Elder Ceo overhear.

”If that is what you are concerned about, companion Creepysoo then you do not need to be alarmed. We, the Mist Elves, are not the only intelligent beings inside the Misty Forest. There is also a Wight like you that is living here, and he often trades herbs with us for his potions.

If you want to know why we are not repulsed, then the mist might also be a factor to this.” Elder Ceo stated as they finally reach her place which is just an open area in front of her tree house.

”As expected, the mist of this place is filled with death energy albeit subtle and not poisonous to the living.” Levin Cloud stated.

”As expected of the Esteemed Guardian Levin Cloud. You are correct as the mist does contain small amounts of death energy which comes from deep inside the Misty Forest. Even we do not know what is expelling this mist, but our bodies have already evolved to be familiar with it.” Elder Ceo state with a big smile.

”Did your deceased guardian not tell you what is causing the mist? Also, how did your past guardian die?” Levin Cloud asked as he is curious.

”It is not just him that died back then but a lot of us as well. We were not this far off into the outskirts of the Misty Forest back then. We actually lived in the middle area when our guardian was still alive and at the peak of his strength.

Until one day, a star from the sky descended towards the deepest part of the Misty Forest. All the monsters in the deepest parts suddenly became insane and thrashed about for a month. We thought that we will be safe from them since the guardian protects us, but he fell protecting us.

We were forced to abandon our original settlement and migrated here. We did investigate after the situation has calmed down but the mist in the deepest parts of the Misty Forest has also changed. It has become more potent with death energy that only an elder such as me could get near it.

It is a good thing that the death energy is thin here in the outskirts. Even our Wight neighbor could not carelessly go into the deepest area of the Misty Forest. I have seen his hand slightly disintegrate upon just reaching out there.” Elder Ceo stated with a grave tone.
