The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 978 City of Eternal Glory
[Moran: I'm so glad you're okay! Grow up peacefully! I'll be leaving Qirariel for a while, so I might not be able to reply to your messages promptly sometimes.]

[Sylph: It's alright, have a safe trip!]

For Sylph, who had become a little green dragon, thirty-two years passed in the blink of an eye. But for Moran, who spent his days attending classes and his nights studying at the fastest possible speed in the Mirror Space, time seemed to stretch on longer than the hundred years he spent in the Emerald Forest.

With the ability to adjust the flow of time through the Mirror Space, his own exceptional magical talent, and a total amount of magic power and mental strength exceeding the limits of the Seran World, Moran rapidly increased the level of his various extraordinary professions.

She has already raised all eight of the mainstream Elven extraordinary classes that are beneficial to the Bloodline Atonement Ritual to level 18: Druid, Ranger, Radiant Priest, Sun Knight, Shadow Walker, Shadow Assassin, Star Mage, and Astrologer.

However, Moran has not yet collected all the inheritances involving level 19 demigods and level 20 quasi-gods who have reached the world's upper limit.

Thanks to her nature elf origins, as her strength increases, her inherited memories will gradually unlock, and she won't have to worry about inheriting the Druid and Ranger professions at levels 19 and 20.

The Star Elf's expertise in the professions of Star Mage and Astrologer was also obtained from the Dean of Starshine Magic Academy, a kind and wise level 20 Star Mage.

Currently, only the Radiant Priests and Radiant Knights of the Sun Elf class, and the Shadow Walkers and Shadow Assassins of the Shadow Elf class, have not yet obtained higher-level class inheritances.

The elves of the Old Seekers Guild, while marveling at her current achievements, also repeatedly advised her that with her current foundation of integrating eight high-level professions, her success rate in going to Suramaran for the ritual far exceeds that of any other attempt since the guild's founding, and that she should not be too demanding of perfection.

Moran understood the reasoning, but the opportunity to perform the bloodline atavism ritual was only once, and she had to secure the greatest theoretical advantage for herself.

Only by elevating all eight professions to the pinnacle of mortal life in this world can she embark on her final journey to Sulamalan without any hindrance.

The problem is that, despite being a city of stars and magic, Quellariel has no level 20 Sun Elf or Shadow Elf.

Most of them stay in their respective clan territories or explore other worlds, rarely spending long periods away from home.

Alfred and Viola are the strongest Sun Elf and Shadow Elf in Quilariel.

But they are all only level 18, and the higher-level inherited memories have not yet been unlocked.

However, Alfred comes from the ancient Radiant Clan among the Sun Elves, while Viola comes from the most powerful Nightveil Clan among the Shadow Elves. Both of their tribes and clans have produced multiple beings who are over level 20.

Each of them wrote a personal letter of recommendation for Moran, earnestly requesting that the elders of the clan meet Moran and share with her the memories of the subsequent inheritance.

Moran had long planned to visit the clans of Alfred and Viola to see those who possessed higher-level inherited memories; she even made a portable resonance device herself.

Now that things have stabilized on Sylph's side, she can set off with peace of mind.

On the day she left, the elves of the association held a grand farewell ceremony for her.

Celestian raised the Starlight Cup in his hand: "Moran, we have all seen your talent, diligence, and determination. The Association has walked this path for thousands of years, with countless predecessors falling by the wayside. You are the most promising one among us. Remember, the Association will always be your support. We are here, waiting for you to return!"

His eyes held an unreserved expectation.

The others in the association, including himself, were not even comparable to the Star Elf predecessor who had trained all the mainstream elf professions to the intermediate level a thousand years ago. Only Moran surpassed all his predecessors, trained all professions to the advanced level, and even wanted to break through to the demigod and quasi-god level.

If she can't succeed, they're even less likely to succeed. Alfred stepped forward and handed her a sun emblem engraved with a sun disc: "Take this, and the Radiant Clan and all the elves of Evershield will welcome you!"

Viola's movements were as silent as ever; she slipped a small roll of cool, smooth, and almost weightless fabric into Moran's hand.

Moran took a look and saw that it was a map woven from the silk of the Shadow Abyss Ghost-Faced Spider. It appeared to be blank, but under the power of a specific shadow, it would reveal intricate and complex paths and markings.

"The road to our Nightveil Clan... is not easy." Viola solemnly reminded her, "Remember, in the Underworld, don't completely trust anyone but yourself. Light will deceive you, sound will mislead you, every creature you encounter may want your life, and even my own kind... may not be entirely reliable."

However, since you have my letter of recommendation, as long as you prove your worth and sincerity, my teacher will not make things difficult for you without reason.

This map can help you avoid some unnecessary 'troublesome' areas and find relatively safe places to rest.

Moran carefully put away the Sun Emblem, keeping Viola's words firmly in mind. Looking around at his elven companions, a warm feeling welled up in his heart:

"Thank you all for your care over the years. Once I obtain the complete inheritance of the Sun and Shadow and master the eight major professions of the elves, I will immediately go to Suramaran to perform the bloodline reversion ceremony."

If I truly succeed in reverting to my ancestral form as a High Elf and obtaining the lost legacy… I swear, I will share all that knowledge with each and every one of you without reservation!

As soon as the words were spoken, the courtyard fell silent, and all the elves' eyes lit up.

After finishing her drink, Moran sat on the rattan chair in front of Zizhi and left the Ronghui Center.

On the third day after leaving Quellariel, they stood on a scorching hot land.

This is already the southwestern edge of the Central Continent. On the distant horizon, the outline of the City of Eternal Radiance is slightly distorted by the heatwave.

A series of huge, heavy white rock buildings, radiating outwards in a circular shape.

At the very heart of the city, the radiance emanating from the Sun Elf's sacred Tree of Glory is clearly visible even in broad daylight.

Moran changed into a light gold robe.

This was custom-made for her in Quellari at a high price. It's made of fabric woven from sun-dried silk, which can absorb the light elemental energy of the environment.

This is both a sign of respect for the culture of the solar elves and a way to help her adapt to the environment.

She wore the sun emblem given to her by Alfred in the most conspicuous position on her chest.

“Let’s go to ‘Dawnbringer Outpost’ first, as Alfred said,” Moran said.

Zizi took out the map and glanced at it. The next moment, she appeared in front of a fortress-like building made entirely of white boulders.
