Abyss Sequence-Chapter 462 - 37: Seeking Refuge

The caravan traveled the established merchant route, encountering numerous enchanted creatures along the way.

Most of these enchanted creatures could be slain by the Red Rose Warband, but for the more powerful ones, they had to ask Yulia to intervene.

After the engraving was integrated into her body, Yulia’s sensory perception improved significantly, gaining new senses she hadn’t had before.

While hunting the enchanted creatures, Yulia felt a visceral disgust towards them, as if encountering something filthy.

This disgust welled up from the heart.

Even though both demons and magic power contain the word "magic," they are evidently not closely related.

Due to this disgust, Yulia was particularly forceful in dealing with the enchanted creatures, slaying them swiftly and decisively.

After first experiencing disgust towards the enchanted creatures, Yulia consulted with Helena to confirm that Helena did not feel the same genuine disgust when facing them.

Thus, Yulia concluded that this was likely a new ability acquired after reaching Sequence One, with the engraving integrated into her body.

Returning to Gass City without incident, just as Sasa was asking if Yevgenia had brought the students to Gass City, an airship appeared above Gass City.

Any elf not ignorant could instantly recognize it as their race’s "decisive weapon."

Elves couldn’t imagine the appearance of an aircraft, yet they possessed magic to make objects float, hence they transformed ships to have flying capabilities and conducted engraving work on the airship, filling it with various arrays.

An airship was essentially a mobile mage tower, where casting spells could amplify the magic’s power several times.

Therefore, airships had become the elves’ "decisive weapon."

Typically, airships weren’t necessary, and scenarios demanding their use were urgent enough to threaten the existence of an entire Elf City.

With an airship now overhead in Gass City, does it imply impending disaster for Gass City?

The citizens of Gass City showed some panic, but due to elves’ moral sense, even if individual emotions were agitated, the city wouldn’t descend into chaos. At most, elves ran in the streets, urging residents to return home and protect themselves, doing so spontaneously.

Fortunately, a notice soon spread, assuring residents there was no need to worry, as the airship was merely transporting students to study on the Blue Star.

Leveraging her influence and information from Fuer the Saint, Yevgenia activated the academy’s leadership, successfully organizing a team of three thousand elf students.

Sasa, aware of the inside story, once promised that regardless of how many elves Yevgenia brought, No.2 Crimson could accommodate them.

After all, this was merely for a technical exchange, even if Yevgenia wanted many elves to study on Blue Star, the number wouldn’t be excessive.

Yet the team of three thousand elf students was already a considerable size for Alfheim.

Yevgenia didn’t accompany the airship to Gass City, as she felt seeing Sasa might tempt her to join Sasa in going to Blue Star.

But she couldn’t do that, knowing the plans of the two saints.

Other ignorant elves aside, knowing the inside story, following Sasa to Blue Star would be akin to desertion.

Thus, Yevgenia stayed at the academy, to be with her ex-husband and eldest daughter.

Learning that Yevgenia hadn’t come, Sasa felt a bit disappointed, although she understood Yevgenia’s choice.

After the three thousand elf students arrived at Gass City, Yulia set off to find Fuer Hongfeng.

Elves must be made aware of demons possessing the "marking" ability, or they might suffer great losses when evil gods emerge in Alfheim.

Yulia didn’t leave for long, as becoming Sequence One permanently imprinted the engraving ability on her, even Fuer’s barrier on the mountain couldn’t cripple her ability.

Thus, ascending the mountain wasn’t difficult for Yulia.

Upon returning, Sasa inquired instantly, "What did Fuer the Saint say?"

Yulia sighed at the response: "He mentioned he was aware, yet said nothing more, unclear on his intentions."

After all, this was a matter for Alfheim’s elves, irrelevant to humans.

In Yulia’s account, Fuer’s demeanor was notably indifferent, quite different from Sasa’s impression of the smiling, amiable elder elf.

The last time she met Fuer, he showed that amiable attitude; perhaps it was because he met Yan Luo the Saint...

With Yulia back and Alfheim’s elf students in place, Sasa ceased delays and promptly led the team back to Blue Star.

Being unable to teleport the airship, Sasa discussed with the Lord of Gass City, deciding to open the teleportation outside Gass City and see what lay ahead.

Depending on whether the teleportation led closer to the Abyss entrance, elf students might use this portal to reach Blue Star.

Sasa opened the teleportation channel outside Gass City using a jade pendant, instantly receiving signal through her scope.

"So close?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Sasa was quite surprised.

The signal tower near the Abyss entrance had a signal emission radius of ten kilometers, meaning the opened teleportation was within ten kilometers of the Abyss entrance.

However, being so close made Sasa somewhat concerned.

Previously, opening a teleportation channel resulted in bisecting a demon.

Near the Abyss entrance, more personnel likely traversed that area, opening teleportation there could potentially injure or even kill No.2 Crimson’s hunters.

Opening a teleportation from Crimson Abyss was possible, yet for returning to Blue Star, Sasa felt using the original teleportation site was preferable.

Mirel leaned against his cart, suddenly turning to his eldest daughter, "Julia, you should go too."

Julia appeared puzzled, "Why?"

Previously visiting Blue Star, she had urged Suniya, now just over a month later, Suniya wasn’t likely to lapse into negligence.

With a faint smile, Mirel lit a cigarette, saying, "I also want a share of the Saint’s blood, so I ask you to negotiate with that Saint."

Julia furrowed her brow, her tone stern: "Father, what do you think of me? You want me to discuss the Saint’s blood with Yan Luo... What could I possibly offer in return? Using my body?"

Mirel laughed, "I’ve heard although concubines aren’t fashionable on Blue Star now, some powerful individuals still retain ’mistresses,’ ’lovers.’ Becoming a Saint’s lover, bear his child, and then help your father and sister obtain a portion of Saint’s blood isn’t an unreasonable request, is it?"

"Fa! Ther!" Julia gritted her teeth.

Mirel’s approach treated her nearly like an object, which Julia found unacceptable.

Previously, she agreed to become Yan Luo’s concubine because it was her choice.

Considering, Mirel dragged Julia to see Sasa, explaining his intentions to her.

Julia repeatedly attempted to break free from Mirel’s control, but Mirel’s strength, being an Intercity Messenger, implied he wasn’t weak.

Even though Julia possessed the Saint’s blood, growing to a point to resist her father required time.

After hearing Mirel, Sasa understood he likely noticed something amiss, intending to push Julia to Blue Star to seek refuge.

"Yan Luo’s progeny... indeed poses a problem."

Sasa cooperated with Mirel’s act, saying, "Now Yan Luo is Blue Star’s sole Saint, his bloodline must be perpetuated, yet to date, he only has three lovers. It’s challenging for a Saint to have offspring; we’re considering finding him more companions. Julia, as Yan Luo’s friend, you wouldn’t want to see Yan Luo without progeny, right?"

Listening to Sasa’s words, Julia hesitated.
