Book 8: Chapter 64: The Ancient Teleportation Array
Robin turned to look back. From this position, she could no longer see Kelly and the others.
The earlier mountain collapse had buried nearly more than two hundred undead. Although it couldn’t destroy them completely, it shattered their bones, immobilizing them and ending their threat to Kelly’s group. With no enemies to flank them from both front and rear, the companions covering the rear now had a better chance to escape.
Thinking of this, Robin couldn’t help glancing at Qin Lun at the back of the group. This Moon Elf Prince was becoming more and more unfathomable to her. Looking back, he had played a role several times when the envoy group faced danger, turning peril to safety.
Turning from Ankhaipe towards the Alamir Mountains had been her plan, but the one who had truly persuaded Milleras to take the sea route was this Moon Elf Prince.
In Ironstar Fortress, everyone only remembered him for dealing a heavy blow to the Earth Salamander, but that was the result of combined effort and didn’t draw enough attention. Thinking back now, Robin realized the Moon Elf Prince’s contributions far exceeded that.
He warned everyone that the forge area connected to an underground volcano, helping them find the upward passage. When encountering the Gecko Colossus, he subtly hinted that the group had already been detected by the salamander’s keen sense of smell. Without his warning, the outcome of their battle against the salamander would have been hard to predict.
This time was the same once again. It was he who, at the critical moment, subtly guided Iristin to trigger the mountain collapse, allowing everyone to achieve their goal of breaking through. He did it quietly and discreetly, often offering suggestions rather than being the decisive one. It was easy to overlook him without noticing.
Was this really just the impact an Elf mercenary who had traveled abroad could make? Robin’s eyes flickered with thought, but she quickly suppressed the strong doubt rising in her heart. Now was not the time to dig deeper; they had more important things to do.
Having broken through the blockade of over three hundred undead, Qin Lun and the others finally saw smooth ground ahead. Though some scattered undead still pursued stubbornly behind them, they could no longer hinder them.
