Chapter 306 — Communication and Exposure

"...Mentor, I am doing well out here. Traveling really is an interesting thing, and this world is so vast—so much bigger than the forests I saw in my homeland...

"I have met many people—humans, elves who came out to travel like me, dwarves, who are so common in the north of the continent, and even a fairy. The fairy is truly amusing, so small, yet she speaks with such a grand air...

"Mentor, I do not regret coming out to see this world, but I also want to see the forests of my homeland again...

"But... I am not coming back.

"I am going to stay out in the world, because of a promise I must fulfill.

"One last thing, Mentor—stop gambling. Really. It's embarrassing to even have to say it out loud to someone else...

"That's everything, Windwhisper."

"Very well, it's all been recorded," the silver elf on the magic light screen said with a smile, jotting down everything Berna had said. Then she asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to pass along to anyone?"

The elf girl Berna fell silent for a moment, then gave a slight shake of her head. "No, that's all."

"Very well. This wandering sister is glad we could have this brief talk, and I hope we meet again. May the stars and the earth watch over you always."

"May the stars and the earth watch over you always. Thank you."

The runes on the surface of the transmission device gradually dimmed, and Berna repeated, as if murmuring to herself: "Thank you."

This was clearly not meant for the Windwhisper, who had already gone offline.

The body of the "elf girl" swayed slightly, and a cold voice issued from her lips: "You have no need to thank me. You and I both know perfectly well that this is part of our bargain.

"You give your flesh and blood and life force; I make up for your regrets.

"I only did it to better stabilize the state of the flesh after the 'fusion.' Besides, I have been monitoring your actions all along—not a word or deed of yours escapes my bonds. So there is really nothing for you to thank me for."

A long silence settled over the room. Several minutes later, Beiyila suddenly let out a soft laugh: "Ha... to think I would be influenced by you..."

She shook her head, all expression swiftly vanishing from her face, then opened the door of the compartment and left the place without hesitation.

She passed through the checkpoint of the Messenger Hall with practiced ease, threaded through the streets and alleys, and exited this elf-built town through another entrance.

Before long she was already walking in the coniferous forest beyond the valley.

Beiyila, still maintaining the form of "Berna," strolled through the woods. Though the surrounding borderland mountains and forests were utterly desolate, she walked as though taking a leisurely turn through her own garden—unhurried, and she came to a halt upon reaching a clearing in the forest.

Smiling, she lifted her head and looked at Suojilin, who stood not far ahead with his shortbow already drawn.

"'Suo'er,' sister—we meet again."
