Abyss Sequence-Chapter 379 - 36: An Elf Visitor

The convoy embarked on its journey back to Blue Star.

On the way, they encountered a City-breaking Level Demon. Yan Luo didn’t take action, nor did Helena join in personally. The hunters in the escort team managed to suppress and kill the demon solely with their heavy firepower.

As it turns out, without a deflection shield, human weapons can handle demons quite easily.

Sitting inside the armored vehicle driven by Yan Luo, Yevgenia felt no trepidation or unease; her gentle gaze rested entirely on Sasa.

Sasa felt a prickling sensation on her back and couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Before activating the Jade, Sasa turned to Yan Luo and whispered, "If Yevgenia returns with us, it will surely cause a worldwide upheaval."

Although the people of Blue Star have long known about the existence of Alfheim and have seen the photos and videos taken by Sasa and the others, a real elf appearing on Blue Star would still be a first.

"Isn’t this a good thing?" Yan Luo countered.

The appearance of Yevgenia on Blue Star could make people truly realize that Blue Star People have indeed made contact with intelligent life from another world.

Even though for the vast majority, ’Alfheim’ remains just a word, it might convince many skeptics that there are other planets in the universe inhabited by life besides Blue Star.

From a broad outline, elves and humans share many similarities.

For instance, both have four limbs and a head, and both reproduce sexually... Except for those long ears, elves are almost a spitting image of humans.

The appearance of elves would make it easy for people to accept the presence of this alien species.

As soon as the existence of the Elf World is confirmed, many onlookers would try to get involved in the interworld trade between Blue Star and Alfheim.

At that time, Yan Luo and the others could take the opportunity to dismantle the control exerted by the Abyssal Believers on terrestrial society.

Though it can’t be done overnight, having a good start is beneficial.

Sasa paused for a moment, understanding why Yan Luo said it was a good thing.

She smiled and placed the Magic Crystal into the Jade.

The Jade was activated, and the engraving inside the jade stone began to shine consecutively, turning into a beam of white light shooting forward.

The vehicles passed through the space portal one by one, and near the opening of the portal, a lone Hunter resting was shocked seeing those vehicles emerge from the air.

Once a space portal is opened, it becomes fixed and won’t shift with the movement of the Jade.

At this point, Sasa suddenly remembered something.

"Once the Abyss and Blue Star merge, would Blue Star become like Alfheim, where space portals can be opened with the Jade anywhere?"

That’s a good question.

Although the only known tool to open a space portal is with Yan Luo, there’s no guarantee that other worlds don’t have interworld means.

Take Alfheim, for instance.

Elves of the Great Monarch rank have the means to traverse worlds, but those who reach this rank are quite conservative, having lost their adventurous spirit and curiosity, so they don’t explore other worlds.

If Blue Star were one day to become like present-day Alfheim, then the ’World Hub’ from elf chronicles might very well reappear.

Recall mythologies on Blue Star regarding other worlds, and you’ll know that Blue Star once interacted with many worlds; the ancient Blue Star Civilization had already reached out to other worlds.

"After we go back this time, I’ve decided to distribute the Saint’s Blood extensively." Yan Luo answered Sasa’s question with this statement.

Sasa immediately understood that Yan Luo already knew what she wanted to convey.

Distributing the Saint’s Blood extensively means cultivating Engravers so that the power of Blue Star’s Engravers grows rapidly.

Sasa also made up her mind to expedite research on reducing Magic Power adaptation after returning to Blue Star, so she could transform into a Samurai upon receiving the Saint’s Blood.

Blue Star needs not only Engravers but also Samurai.

Otherwise, if an extraordinary power system is too singular, in situations akin to the Forbidden Demon Abyss, they might face defeat.

Even though Blue Star possesses many powerful weapons, weapons need people to wield them.

With mixed feelings, the convoy exited through the Red Two Entrance back to Blue Star.

The moment the armored vehicle arrived at Blue Star, Yevgenia furrowed her brow, showing a slight expression of pain.

Sasa, who had been secretly observing Yevgenia’s condition, immediately asked, "Lady Yafugonia, is there something wrong?"

"The magic concentration here..."

Yevgenia’s breathing quickened a bit.

Sasa suddenly realized, "So, it’s a magic concentration issue!"

The current magic concentration on Blue Star cannot compare to Alfheim. Yevgenia, having grown up in a high-magic environment, naturally experiences discomfort when suddenly arriving in a low-magic setting.

"And your casting ability? Any changes?"

Upon hearing Sasa’s words, Yevgenia tried a little and found that she needed to exert twice the effort compared to Alfheim just to make a light sphere appear in front of her.

If that’s the case for basic magic, what about complex compound magic?

Seeing Yevgenia’s brows knit, Sasa knew her casting ability had declined.

This means that elves, after coming to Blue Star, will experience a period of power drop; how much of a drop it is, and whether Great Monarch rank elves will experience the same is yet unknown.

The armored vehicle slowly entered the checkpoint, and the soldier on duty, while casually scanning the back half of Yan Luo’s armored vehicle, was suddenly taken aback.

"Whoa, what did you all bring back?"

Sasa realized and turned to Yevgenia, saying, "I almost forgot. Lady Yafugonia, returning from the Abyss to the real world requires a check-up. Could you trouble you to step out and undergo the check with us?"

Logically, during activities on different planets, local bacteria would cause them to be unacclimated, even leading to death, which isn’t surprising.

For reasons unknown, humans can breathe and eat normally without life-support systems when they visit Alfheim, and it’s probably the same for elves coming to Blue Star.

However, to be safe, it’s better to conduct a check-up.

The rear door of the armored vehicle opened, and the tall and voluptuous Yevgenia stepped out, immediately attracting many gazes.

A hunter registering at the checkpoint, preparing to enter the Abyss to hunt demons, saw Yevgenia and instinctively mumbled, "Holy cow, what a ride..."

Even in today’s Blue Star, women standing two meters tall are rare.

Yevgenia, being two meters tall and possessing an hourglass figure, had a visual impact comparable to a half-ton obese person.

Sasa walked up to Yevgenia and said to the wide-eyed soldier on duty, "This is our guest brought back from Alfheim, currently employed by me. Don’t get any ideas about her; her strength is equivalent to the Second Rank!"

The soldier on duty barely managed to close his open mouth, and hearing Sasa’s words, he was even more surprised.

How could a Second Rank elf be employed by Sasa?

Would such a strong individual still obey others?

Could it be that a Second Rank isn’t particularly strong among elves?

Yan Luo also got off the vehicle, standing next to Yevgenia, and said in Elvish, "Once we enter the town, we’ll get you a translator so you can communicate normally with humans."

Yevgenia’s tense expression immediately softened, "Is that so? That’s great."

She was a bit afraid of humans conversing in a language she couldn’t understand right in front of her because it would lead her to imagine whether these humans were plotting against her.

Yevgenia went through a check with Sasa at the checkpoint, and indeed carried some bacteria not found on Blue Star, both on her body and within.

However, these bacteria couldn’t infect nearby humans; they seemed to have lost their vitality and could only maintain their presence.

Logically, this situation shouldn’t occur, but since it has, it might be due to some reasons they’re yet unaware of.

For instance, the engraving inside the Jade might have played a role.
