Corrupt Creations

Arwen had also found it was kind of strange, for one of the cities inside of her kingdom, to have a teleportation channel that led directly to the human territory, but they had no time to investigate it further now.

However, she had noticed that it was probably an escape route to confuse enemies or even a secret hunting ground, since it was none other than the merchant guild, who had constructed that teleportation array.

While Seth and Lan Xue were doing the deed, Arwen really worked hard to find a faster and better way to their final destination. She used her Soul Sense while secretly traveling through her own territory, searching for formations with spatial law fluctuations.

When she found one that fit in that criteria, she would then go personally pay a visit to whoever was in control of that teleportation channel, in order to ask about its intricacies. Ninety nine percent of those formations, were utterly useless for her, since they were simple spatial tunnels that could only connect a point to another; points that were limited to a ten kilometers radius at most or were of random nature.

But none of them interested her and just when she thought it would be impossible to find a grand teleportation array in one of those distant cities, she found one of the Irumdell City Merchant Guild branches secret buildings.

It was a very well-protected location, with hundreds of warriors thoroughly patrolling it, every single day. From that, Arwen was able to infer that it was where they stored their best merchandise and special items and was probably also the place they used as a scaping route, if a misfortune were to befall on them.

With just a wave of her Soul Sense, she saw many different teleportation arrays inside that building and if there was a slim chance to find what she searching for, she was certain that it would be there.

The Elf Queen had to admit, but the way this Merchant handled their business, was way better than how she managed her kingdom back then. They appeared to be cautious and prepared for the worst at any time.

Arwen immediately decided to pay them a visit and upon her arrival, the absolutely shocked guards, called for their superiors. Not much more than thirty minutes later, she left that building with a beaming smile.

With the Elf Queen's sky-high prestige, how could any of the merchant leaders hide their secrets away from her? They almost as if instantly told her about that specific teleportation channel, that would lead to the outskirts of the Purple Illusory Forest.

After knowing what she needed to know, she swiftly left, in order to tell Seth and Lan Xue about her discoveries. As for the workers of the Merchant Guild, they immediately called for their most important and influential superiors and told them about what had just happened.

It didn't even take a single day, for one of them to appear there, expecting to see her Highness visit them once again. He knew she would eventually come back, after hearing the motives behind her initial visit.

And just as that short and fat man had predicted, three distinct silhouettes appeared high above in the skies, flying towards their direction on the morning of the next day. Before he could even properly see them, Seth had already recognized who that fatty was.

He swiftly let go of the Mana supporting his body in the air and dropped towards the ground, landing a hundred meters away from where the merchants stood.

The guards watched with wide eyes, as a figure suddenly descended, perfectly landing on the ground a few seconds later. Impressively, nothing had happened to that person and nothing happened to that person's surroundings either. It was like physics didn't apply to him at all.

Dozens of eyes made him their target of attention, just to see him normally walking their way with a thin smile on his lips.

"Long time no see you, Mr. Olsen."

Mr. Olsen, the fat human merchant that was part of the Irumdell City Merchant Guild was finally able to recognize Seth and at the same time, realize how great his status must be, for him to be accompanying the Elf Queen.

"Seth?! Every time we see each other, you give me a different surprise. Who would've thought, that you knew and worked for her Highness, the Elf Queen?"

Inside of Mr. Olsen's head, there was only the possibility of Seth working for the Elf Queen. It was a scenario formed not only because of her prestige, but because of her power. In his eyes, Seth was a mere junior she had spread her wings to protect and grow, even though he was a human, due to him being really talented.

However, the reality was completely different and Mr. Olsen was actually talking with one of the strongest people in the whole continent.

But that did not matter for any of them at that moment. What really mattered, was the spatial array.

"Ahaha. Don't think too much about it. The Elf Queen is a great woman who possesses not only a superior strength and unparalleled beauty, but also has a great heart. It is nothing but a natural thing for her to recruit talented people, like me."

Seth praised the Elf Queen before the eyes of dozens of people, without any restraint. He also didn't act humble and made many of the elven guards stationed behind Mr. Olsen, frown in displeasure.

'Who's this young man? He dares to say those things about our queen?!'

However, they didn't dare to voice out their concerns, since they knew that whoever talked so casually with Mr. Olsen, one of the four most important figures in the whole Merchant Guild, was not someone they could mess with.

"Hehe, I see that you're acting carefree, as always. Good, that's how a youngster should be." Mr. Olsen said as he captured the figure of two enchanting females approaching from above.

Without delay he said: "So... How may I serve you, your Highness?"
