The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 981 Liander
“I call it Holy Flame Protection.” This was the name Alfred gave Moran when he was in the association.

"Perfect dual-source fusion magic... Moran, you've proven your strength!" Leander fully acknowledged her: "As agreed, I will pass on the level 19 and 20 class inheritance of the Sun Elf to you. Alfred said you prepared an instrument that can analyze inherited memories?"

“Yes!” Moran took out the portable resonance device that she had prepared in advance.

Her resonance device was made by solidifying the mental magic reading and copying technique and setting up multiple security restrictions. It has the same effect as the one from the Old Seekers Association, but it is much simpler to make and its size is more exquisite.

In fact, she could directly use mental magic to read and copy the corresponding memories, but it would be difficult to gain the trust of the person sharing them.

Leander checked it over and found nothing wrong, so he placed his hand on the resonance device as Moran had instructed.

Moran placed his hand on it as well: "I've activated the resonance device! You just need to release the blockade on the corresponding inherited memory, and it will automatically copy the relevant content into my mental sea."

More than ten minutes later, the inherited memories of the Radiant Priest and the Sunfire Knight were completed in Moran's mental sea.

She opened her eyes and bowed deeply to Leander: "Thank you for your generosity. I will live up to this legacy."

“I believe you.” Elder Leander nodded with a smile. “Inheriting memories is just the beginning. You need time to digest and practice before you can fully transform this knowledge into your own power. The City of Eternal Radiance welcomes you to stay and cultivate. Calvin and I can also provide necessary guidance. Of course, if you have other plans…”

Moran truthfully replied, "Next, I do need to head to the Underworld to find the Shadow Elves of the Nightveil Clan to obtain the legacy of the Shadow Walker and the Shadow Assassin."

However, after I have collected all the heritages, I will still need time to integrate this knowledge before I can go to Sulamalan.

The environment of Eternal Radiance City is indeed more conducive to the training of Radiant Priests and Sunfire Knights. Moreover, the Underworld is a treacherous environment. If they can improve their class level and abilities in Eternal Radiance City, their chances of success in the Underworld will be much greater.

“A wise choice,” Calvin nodded. “I can arrange some practical training for you. You need to be in battle to master the magical combat skills of the Sun Knight more quickly.”

“The same goes for Pastor Radiance; you can ask me any questions you encounter in your spiritual practice,” Liandel said.

Moran thought for a moment and nodded in acceptance: "Then I'll have to trouble you two."

She temporarily settled in the Radiant Clan's territory.

In the early morning, she would go to meditate near the Tree of Light, entering a state of light elemental resonance to strengthen her body and further deepen her understanding of the power of light.

After meditating, I went to discuss the magical theories of the Radiant Priest and level 10 divine spells with Elder Liandel.

Leander told her that there was no magic network in the "God Realm," and that extraordinary beings would gradually try to cast spells outside of the magic network once they reached level 20.

Only those who can break free from the magic network and cast spells independently can truly become gods and enter the "realm of gods".

This step is very difficult; many extraordinary individuals remain only quasi-gods until their deaths.

Moran guessed that the "divine realm" she mentioned was likely the explorer camp in the world of Thran.

The afternoon was the time for Knight Commander Calvin and his elite knights to conduct practical training. The training ground was located in a desolate valley outside the city, which was reinforced by a magical barrier.

Moran participates in training every day. Sometimes he wears magical items that lower his class level and faces multiple well-coordinated Sun Knights simultaneously to hone his group combat skills. Other times, he directly battles Galvin, experiencing the terrifying magic and combat rhythm of a quasi-god-level Sun Knight. In the evening, he returns to his residence to review the day's gains and uses the Mirror Space to accelerate time, digesting the content of his inherited memories.

Under this high-intensity, high-efficiency training rhythm, Moran's progress was astonishing.

In just three months, her Radiant Priest and Sunfire Knight classes both stabilized at level 20 through a natural process of enlightenment and practice.

Not only can they skillfully cast a variety of level 10 divine spells and combat magic, but their combat ability has also risen to a new level.

"Your talent is truly the best I have ever seen in my life."

After the final day of training, Knight Commander Calvin sighed, "I have nothing more to teach you. At this rate, you may enter the realm of gods before me."

"Without your unreserved guidance during this period, I wouldn't have made such rapid progress on my own!"

Moran wiped the sweat from her forehead. She hadn't had such an exhilarating battle in a long time. Finding a near-god-level opponent to spar with wasn't easy.

In the evening, Elder Leander invited Moran to the rooftop terrace of the Sanctuary, from where one could overlook most of the City of Eternal Radiance. The afterglow of the setting sun intertwined with the radiance of the Eternal Sun Crown, dyeing the entire city a magnificent orange-gold.

“You will be leaving tomorrow.” Bishop Leander handed Moran a cup of Sunflower Tea. “The path to the Underworld is completely different from that of the City of Eternal Radiance. It is the opposite of light, a land where shadows and evil breed. Be careful.”

“I’m ready!” Moran took the teacup. “I also want to thank you and Knight Commander Calvin for your guidance over this period of time. Quasi-god-level Radiant Priests and Sun Knights are not to be trifled with in the underworld. Moreover, I have the map and letter of recommendation from Viola.”

“Viola…I’ve met that child a few times.” Elder Liandel gazed into the distance. “She and her teacher are rare shadow elves who embrace the darkness yet still uphold their principles. With her letter of recommendation, the Nightveil Clan won’t make things too difficult for you.”

But remember, in the underworld, trust is a luxury, and traps are a daily occurrence.

Even among members of the same clan, there was much testing and scheming.

The light elemental power on your body will be as conspicuous as a torch.

Bishop Leander took out an inconspicuous gray pendant from his pocket.

The pendant is teardrop-shaped, with no decorations on its surface, only faint magical fluctuations.

"This 'Breath of Light and Shadow' is for you. It is a rare magical artifact. Wearing it will completely conceal all fluctuations of light-based power on your body. Combined with your Shadow Walker and Shadow Assassin classes, and with a little disguise, you can disguise yourself as a Deep Shadow Elf."

Being a Shadow Elf can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble in the underworld.

When you need it, it can instantly shed its disguise and unleash its full power of light, instantly healing your injuries—equivalent to a divine healing spell.

"This gift is too precious..."

“Take it.” Elder Leander waved his hand. “You are not only the hope of the Old Ones’ Guild, but perhaps… even the key for all elves to rediscover the High Elf heritage. Helping you is helping ourselves. Go! Moran!”
