Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

Yvanna brought them to the high elves and made the introductions.

“I have returned, everyone. I apologize for making you wait.” Yvanna exchanged greetings with her father and the high elves before she introduced the humans she brought.

“Everyone, this is Lord Lucas. He is the patriarch of House Silversword. This is Sir Galanar…”

“This gentleman is Sir Warrick and this is the heir of House Silversword, Lord Alaric.”

Garandel and the high elves were surprised. They didn’t expect that a countryside barony in the North actually had three Transcendent Knights!

These men are powerful, especially that person…

Garandel stared deeply at Lucas. He felt a suffocating pressure from him which he only felt when facing Rosalie.

It wasn’t just him, the rest of the high elves were also shocked when they sensed Lucas’ aura.

He had concealed it well, but these high elves were very sensitive to mana so they quickly discovered Lucas’ overwhelming power.

So that must be the human who saved her. He is indeed impressive for someone his age.

Garandel thought to himself as he looked at Alaric.

“I know you all are weary from your trip, but the situation is urgent. Please follow us. I will fill you in with the details.” The elven king spoke.

“Alright.” Lucas calmly nodded his head.

Suddenly, he sensed a sharp gaze directed at him. He turned his head and saw one of the high elves looking at him with undisguised disgust.

That high elf must be one of those guys that Yvanna has mentioned.

Lucas thought to himself as he pulled his gaze away from this particular elf.

Meanwhile, Galanar approached Alaric and whispered to his ears. “My lord, I think these elves despise us. Do you want me to straighten them out?”

His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone was an expert so they heard him clearly.

Alaric didn’t expect the calm Galanar to say those words. He usually ignored such blatant behavior, but it seemed like he was offended by the arrogance of the elves.

Everyone subconsciously stopped in their tracks and the atmosphere slowly became tense.

Garandel was about to speak when a mocking voice drifted into his ears.

“Look at this guy acting tough.”

Unsurprisingly, it was Aegris.

Galanar stared at him and uttered while shaking his head. “For a 3-Ringed Beast Soul Master, your aura is not impressive.”

“What did you say?!” Aegris was furious.

Just as things were about to escalate, Rosalie decided to intervene. “Aegris…”

Her cold voice sent a shiver down Aegris’ spine. Other than Elder Sunset, the one he feared the most was this woman.

Meanwhile, Alaric tapped Galanar’s shoulder. “That is enough, Sir Galanar.”

Galanar realized his mistake and immediately apologized with a bow of his head. “I was rude.”

Garandel immediately stepped in and said. “Alright, we did not gather here to make enemies. Let us not embarrass ourselves in front of the residents.”

The situation settled down with the elven king’s words.

He then brought everyone to the treehouse and told the humans about the present situation.

So there are goblin monarchs in the colony.

Alaric frowned upon hearing this information.

“Before we continue, I just want to tell Your Majesty that I have already offered them all the beast soul crystals we can get from this battle. Also…” Yvanna explained what she had promised to House Silversword.

When everyone heard this, some elves reacted strongly.

“Your Highness, trading with them is one thing, but wouldn’t it be too much to give them all the beast soul crystals?” General Ryzel asked with a frown.

Some elves agreed with his words.

Yvanna stared at him and responded with a cold voice. “General Ryzel, what is more important to you? Our kingdom or those beast soul crystals?”

General Ryzel sensed her displeasure, but he didn’t care since those beast soul crystals could provide quite the boost to their warriors. “I understand your point, Your Highness. The kingdom is indeed more important, but to protect our land, we need to make our warriors stronger. Those beast soul crystals will be crucial in strengthening our military.”

“General Ryzel is right. Why should we give up all the beast soul crystals when they only brought a few hundred soldiers?” Aegris chimed in.

Yvanna’s eyes flashed with anger.

General Ryzel spoke with the kingdom in his best interest, but Aegris spoke out of spite.

Just then, a dagger suddenly flew and struck the table, just a few inches from Aegris’ hands.

Everyone nervously glanced at Rosalie who had thrown the dagger.

“One more word from you and my dagger will hit your head next.” She spoke in a detached and cold tone.

No one dared to say anything, not even the king.

As for Aegris, his face was drenched in sweat. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He could only nervously smile in response.

Seeing that he was cooperative, Rosalie turned her gaze toward Yvanna and General Ryzel. “All the beast soul crystals will be given to the humans.”

She then swept her gaze over the crowd and asked in a flat tone. “Are there any objections?”

No one uttered a word.

Seeing how domineering she was, Yvanna’s eyes flashed with admiration.

“I will take your silence as a yes.” She then moved her gaze to Garandel and told him. “Now tell us your plan.”

Hearing this, Garandel cleared his throat before he opened his mouth. “Now that we have gained three more Transcendent Knights…”

While the elven king was talking, Alaric secretly used his Appraisal trait on the domineering elf.

Rosalie seemed to have sensed his scrutiny and gave him a deep look.

This woman is scary strong!

Alaric smiled at her, but she ignored him and looked away.

Seeing this, Alaric bitterly shook his head.
