As one of the Elf Professors, Nico naturally was also in this group chat.
At this moment, Nico was between two trees, preparing a hammock for rest while listening to the frantic sounds of the Elf Professor in charge of medical care.
At this moment, two Elf Maidens hastily flew from the sky.
All the way, Fes and Xiaoxi’s atmosphere was very dismal.
Fes hadn’t spoken at all, biting her lip with her teeth.
After Lureya got lost in the cave, as the team leader, she went in three times trying to rescue her, but despite going deep, she couldn’t find Lureya.
If she went further, she might not be able to ensure her own safety, so she chose to leave.
As a teammate, she had already been responsible enough for Lureya.
She had always considered Lureya her strongest competitor; she never expected that one day Lureya would die in such a place.
How could she accept this!
"Lureya is just dead like that, how can I accept this!"
"Fes, I know you’re very sad, but it’s already a fact, reporting it soon is the most important thing."
Xiaoxi comforted the Elf Maiden beside her who was in pain.
Didn’t expect Fes and Lureya’s feelings to be so deep, always thought the rumors that Fes was hostile to Lureya were true...
Fes had a look of ’who understands me’ on her face.
It’s not a matter of being sad now, but a major issue of her image collapsing!
Lureya dying in her team due to such a low-end method as falling into the Skeleton cave would surely make her face external suspicion!
Rumors like ’Jealous of Lureya’s beauty so designed to frame her,’ ’Totally a dark elf who climbed the ranks by killing’ would surely come soon as well!
Although she wanted to become the first beauty of the new generation of the Elf Race, Fes wanted to gain recognition through fair means, not by framing others to climb the ranks!
"Lureya, you absolutely can’t die! What am I going to do if you die!"
Fes gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.
Xiaoxi was scared by Fes’s intense reaction.
"Fes, didn’t expect you and Lureya to be a thing."
A moment later, Fes and Xiaoxi landed, panting heavily, sweat covering their faces.
"Did something happen, you two?"
Nico looked over strangely.
"Professor Nico, something terrible has happened!"
Xiaoxi’s eyes were red, holding Nico with a face full of distress.
"Lureya, Lureya was kidnapped and killed by the Skeleton Race..."
"Stop! Stop talking!!"
As Xiaoxi was about to finish speaking, with a swoosh, a golden light flew from the horizon.
The Elf Maiden rushing from the sky landed at the fastest speed, almost couldn’t control her strength, rolled several times on the ground, and finally ended up rolling to Nico and Xiaoxi’s feet, lifting her dusty face.
"I’m completely fine!"
Nico frowned and looked at Fes, the team leader.
"Fes, is this a skit performed just for me? — Clearly, they haven’t grasped the essence of a skit."
Fes and Xiaoxi looked in surprise at the dusty maiden.
Lureya stood up from the ground, patted the dust off her clothes, then remembered she was an elf and quickly cleaned herself.
"Though you’ve already written my tombstone, I’m actually still alive and well. I just went the wrong way at the time and took a long time to find the right exit."
Lureya on her way here had already fabricated a reason and clearly explained the whole story to Nico.
Nico nodded understandingly.
"It’s good you’re okay. I heard Minotaurs and Slimes appeared on the plains, be careful, Lureya."
"That kind of named concern makes me seem weak!"
Lureya crossed her arms with frustration.
"But returning through the cave, I collected tons of skulls all along the way. All of these should count as points, right Professor Nico?"
Nico thought it over.
How should I put it—sometimes luck is also part of strength.
The purer the elf, the higher their luck value.
"Though the Survival Training Manual states you earn points for taking skulls after defeating Skeletons, this situation can be accepted."
Lureya took out all the skulls from her Storage Space, forming them into three small piles in front of Fes and Xiaoxi’s wide eyes.
"So many! Lureya, did you use up centuries of luck all at once? Be careful about finding a malicious boyfriend!"
"What are you talking about, nothing like that happened, it’s all picked up."
Lureya muttered softly.
"I’ll share these points equally with Fes and Xiaoxi; they’re my teammates too."
Fes was dumbfounded, Xiaoxi also froze, then looked at Lureya with gratitude.
Lureya sheepishly scratched her cheek with her fingers.
Mainly because having too many points alone would seem awkward, and if the points aren’t enough, she could always get more from Shami.
Though they built her a tombstone without permission, she witnessed Fes and Xiaoxi’s rescue efforts later on.
And the flat maiden’s heart is often filled with mischief, but her spirit has never been bad.
"Thank you for trying to rescue me..."
The sky gradually darkened, marking the end of a day.
Looking down from the sky, small clusters of light appeared around the vast plains; these were the Elf teams’ resting places.
