Brendel reacted as soon as the elf maiden squatted down with her head in her arms. He immediately looked back at ‘Orthylss’ and asked, “She is Orthylss, and you?”

“She just likes pranking, I’m the real Orthylss.” The elf consort replied contentiously.

The elf maiden was brought to tears. She felt so aggrieved that she only wanted to cry out, When did I ever like pranks, and how did I even lose my name? But she did not dare to utter a single word and could only hold her head and shed tears in silence.

“Then who is she?”

“She’s…uh…Sonya.”

Brendel actually already had the answer in mind.

He had long suspected the elf consort because she tended to speak on equal terms with important people like Flame King Gretel, the Great Sage Farnezain, and even Eleranta, which was very unusual for a knight of the Queen of the Winds. Not only so, would the Blade Knight Orthylss master the legacy of the Nine Luminaries Sword Art of the Wind? Afraid not.

Brendel looked at her curiously, wondering why there was a faint flicker in his mind when Orthylss said that female knights had outstanding magical gifts. Perhaps for reasons that are too coincidental, she was indeed an excellent mage.

But she shook her head, “I don’t want to be a mage.”

“Huh?” Orthylss froze, “Why? Mages are powerful, and magic is also pretty.”

Brendel frowned slightly, not knowing why. He thought he just saw a flicker of conflict between the female knight’s brows.

“Let me think about it,” Maynild replied.

“Good then.” The Elf Maiden was clearly confident. Evidently, she was confident in her magic, the previously pathetic look had run off to nowhere. She pressed one hand against her chest and said, “By the way, the magic I’m good at is String Magic, ancient String Magic.”

“Dragon magic.”

Brendel was terrified.

Maynild also could not help but raise her head slightly. String magic was divided by the burning down of the great library of Ebabel Tower into two stages. After that, the Dragon Clan’s exclusive magic developed a subordinate class, known as modern String Magic, which had continued to evolve to this day, and as long as it did not have a special article, String Magic usually referred to modern String Magic.

But ancient String Magic will always mean only one thing, Dragon Magic.

Even Brendel didn’t expect there to be someone proficient in Dragon Magic that among the twenty-four knights of the Mist Elves, as expected the heroes of the ancient times were all legendary monsters. Even the mages in Buga have not learned Dragon Magic before.

No wonder she was so confident, indeed it was the backbone of her confidence.

Brendel thought that if this was directed at himself, he might’ve actually agreed. After all, it was Dragon Magic, and Dragon Magic was a completely different system from modern magic. In fact, all of the spells in modern spellcasting that requested permission from the War Dragon Tiama were born from Dragon Magic – like the Dragon Strike that Ciel used earlier that blew up half of the Anderla Cathedral.

And Dragon Magic takes this a step further, as Dragon Magic itself was a spell that had obtained the permission of Tiama and was said to be the most destructive spell.

In comparison, Elemental Magic was as meek as a kitten.

But what he did not expect was that Maynild was still unmoved, she thought for a moment and said calmly, “Let’s keep examining loot.”

At that moment Brendel just wanted to say, “No, you’re better off studying magic. Leave this glorious yet arduous task of exploiting the corpse to me.”

But naturally, the thoughts in his head would not be heard by Maynild. The female knight removed another bracelet from William’s body– specifically the one that looked like a wristguard, made from flowing silver, and shaped as part of a claw that was extending forward.

“Huh….this bracelet?” Maynild was slightly startled, probably because she had never seen a flowing metal that was able to stabilize into a set shape.

“Fuckin’ hell!”

All that was left in Brendel’s mind at that moment was shock, if he was not mistaken. This bracelet was one of the top pieces of equipment that the Wind Elf players of the Holy Cathedral of Wind could get when they kill William in the future.

Glow Wave.

Also called the Torch of Knowledge, one of the sacred relics of the Dragon Crystal of the Sky.

“This……” At this moment, Brendel did not know what to think of his ‘senior’ anymore.
