So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 192: Chapter Silver Moon Elf

"Thank you for your compliment, dear Director David."

At this moment, aside from David Berg and a few others familiar with Janna, the rest of the guests who had entered the Bauhinia Auction House early were all gathered near the entrance.

The reason was to catch a glimpse of Janna in advance.

When Janna finally appeared, even the Turin elites, long accustomed to grand events, couldn’t hide the incomparable astonishment and awe in their eyes.

The astonishment was in admiration of Janna’s beauty, while the awe came from perceiving a power that transcended the mundane beneath that beauty.

"It’s actually 【Extraordinary Charm】—"

"And she’s even a human—"

Standing at the back of the crowd, Sophina Moonshadow fixed her gaze—almost burning—with intensity on Janna, who stood at the absolute center of attention.

After only a moment, Sophina Moonshadow’s smile returned. Holding up the hem of her dress, she began walking slowly toward Janna.

"I’ve long heard of Miss Janna’s reputation, and seeing you today, you truly live up to it."

Her husky voice, like a feather brushing past one’s ears, gave listeners a tingling sensation.

Looking toward the source of the voice, they saw a tall girl with silver hair and violet eyes. The corners of her eyes tilted slightly, and her ears were long and pointed. She appeared about the same age as Janna, and wore a friendly smile as she approached.

"She’s a pure-blood Moon Elf from the Silver Moon High Court—"

The silver hair and violet eyes, along with her long pointed ears—distinct from a half-elf like Bell Moonshadow—allowed Janna to immediately recognize her as a pure-blood Moon Elf.

Especially upon noticing the medal on her purple gown, engraved with the Bauhinia Emblem, Janna—who had already done her homework—could easily deduce her identity.

"Hello, Lady Silver Moon. It’s a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your invitation."

Sophina Moonshadow was a First Tier Silver Moon Artificer, with strength slightly below that of a full-fledged wizard. She was also the current head of the Turin branch of the Bauhinia Auction House.

As a long-lived elf, Sophina Moonshadow might have appeared to be the same age as Janna, but in truth, she could easily have been Janna’s great-grandmother.

Naturally, such a lengthy lifespan also granted elves life experience several times that of ordinary humans, as well as values detached from the mortal world.

Sometimes, just a single movement—a facial muscle twitch, or the pattern of wrinkles—could allow an elf with such rich experience to deduce a person’s character with astonishing accuracy, comparable to the best "Mental Perception" users.

At the same time, they were observers who floated beyond the mundane world, playing through life as if it were a game.

"Just call me Sophina—thank you all for coming today. Please, come inside."

Her purple dress fluttered continuously. Watching Sophina Moonshadow’s approachable smile, the guests followed her lead and entered the venue.

"Miss Janna, please come this way."

"Thank you."

With her heightened Perception, Janna could clearly sense that Sophina Moonshadow’s enthusiasm toward her was far more intense than toward anyone else.

Even though the elf masked her actions well, subtle gestures were enough for someone like Janna—well-versed in social facades—to detect the difference. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel_fіre.net

Of course, Sophina Moonshadow’s mastery of expression was not like Janna’s, who relied on her 【Muscle Control】 talent to conceal her emotions.

Her warmth came entirely from vast social experience and absolute control over her own feelings—something even Janna, despite her two lifetimes, could not yet hope to match.

"Elves, though far more experienced than humans, are also emotionally pure—"

Either purely good, or purely evil.

But regardless of type, all elves shared one common interest: a love of all things beautiful.

Whether it was natural beauty, cultural beauty, craftsmanship, or even the beauty of war—beauty was something pure-blood elves spent their lives pursuing.

And Janna, who possessed the 【Beauty of Appearance】, was naturally one of those "things" Sophina Moonshadow genuinely liked.

"Miss Janna, if you don’t mind, would you like to sit beside me?"

"Of course. It would be my honor."

Though Sophina Moonshadow’s smile remained friendly, the way her hand casually brushed against Janna’s made it clear how much restraint she was exercising.

"Mr. David, I hope you don’t mind me 'borrowing' Miss Janna for a while."

"Haha, of course not. As long as Janna agrees."

Seeing Sophina Moonshadow treat a junior with such courtesy, David Berg was both surprised and sensible enough not to interrupt their private conversation.

After all, for a backgroundless apprentice like Janna, gaining the friendship of a pure-blood Moon Elf from the Silver Moon High Court was certainly a valuable opportunity.

"Miss Janna, may I ask—do any of your family members have elven blood?"

At her words, Janna, who had just sat down, paused briefly before smiling and shaking her head.

"My family are all very ordinary humans. None of them have extraordinary bloodlines."

"Oh? Is that so? But I can smell the scent of nature from you. If those Green Elves from the Forest of Nature saw you, they’d surely mistake you for one of their own."

"Then I really must visit the Forest of Elves one day. Who knows—I might even get a chance to taste the authentic 'Fairy’s Kiss'."

Though her tone remained casual, Janna had already grown a bit wary inside.

No conversation was ever meaningless—especially when dealing with a powerful elf like Sophina Moonshadow, who had lived long and seen much.

A single misstep could easily lead Janna to revealing something unintended.

The "scent of nature" Sophina Moonshadow mentioned—Janna didn’t know whether she was referring to her 【Plant Affinity】 talent, or the yet-unawakened 【Law of Growth Fragment】.

But either way, it wasn’t something Janna could explain at the moment.

After all, both 【Plant Affinity】 and the 【Law of Growth Fragment】 originated from the System. While the 【Plant Affinity】 talent could still be brushed off with some effort, the 【Law of Growth Fragment】 was not something that could be casually dismissed.

Her understanding of the 【Law of Purification Fragment】 could be attributed to the feedback after the Celestial Finch’s evolution.

Her grasp of the 【Beauty of Art】 Fragment could be attributed to her love for opera and the "Beauty of Art".

But the 【Law of Growth Fragment】—not even activated—was something Janna had no intention of exposing until she found a proper excuse.
