"Could it be guessed from her na?" Lynch wondered in his heart. The na "Zilvra" did indeed originate from the Dark Elf Language, but in the surface world, this na, although uncommon, is not unheard of. Moreover, using just a na 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 ford 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 confird, "She cos 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 , Zilvra possesses a good soul." The mage thought for a mont, 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 na Zilvra, I have only heard it in recent days. But I think every elf in Salantir has heard of the na ’Drow Executioner.’ Although Dark Elves use so secret passages to attack elves, causing so casualties, our efforts have gradually curbed this trend. However, in recent years, so scattered elf settlents outside Salantir have been frequently attacked, most often by a skilled assassin proficient in using a thin sword. His equipnt 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. Sotis, he even ventures alone to the surface, as if killing has beco 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 unhard, 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 nded.
Zilvra must also have recognized Anna and felt threatened, as this is, after all, the elves’ kingdom. anwhile, Anna picked up clues and beca 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 sothing that can be solved with just a few words.
"I fought that Drow for a long ti; 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 the most was the white skin on her neck, which caused my aid arrow to lose its target due to my surprised and trembling hands."
"Moreover, it’s not just who has probably noticed this," Anna finally said.
