Chapter 231 -229-The Towering Dwarf
"Oberlis, do you believe what Ethan what said to be true?" Rose inquired, her eyes clouded with uncertainty.
As she removed her helmet, a cascade of silvery-white hair, reminiscent of a waterfall, fell around her, revealing the tapered ears characteristic of her lineage.
She was an elf.
Hearing her question, Oberlis nodded and said, "I believe there’s no need for Ethan to lie. Besides, Sister Rose, don’t you find the trial of the Elf King so peculiar? Especially for each generation who participates in the trial, there’s a noticeable change in their aura after they successfully complete it."
"What’s even more unsettling is that the temperament of each successive Elf King is strikingly similar."
"Many attribute this to the legacy, but now it seems that it’s not so straightforward. I suspect those Elven Inheritors who’ve completed the trial of Elf King essentially become incarnations of the first Elf King."
As soon as he spoke, Rose’s face paled in shock.
"Silence, Oberlis!" She sharply reprimanded, "You’re a part of the elf clan too. How could you question the first Elf King?"
"A part of the elf clan?" Oberlis scoffed bitterly, his eyes turning fierce. "Sister Rose, you consider me as a part of the elf clan, but those people, the members of the Dawn Elf Kingdom, they don’t see it that way."
"They label me a Dark Elf, a stain on elven honor."
"They are the ones who cast me out!"
