Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 317: Golden Coins

Stepping out of the carriage, I noticed besides Elder Axzul and the guards regarding their respective carriages, everyone else was gone, and if I had to guess, they had all entered that dimensional rift in the distance. Yawning, I wrapped my around Mandy and embraced her while I patiently waited for Sarah, Ember, Idonea, and Marley to exit my carriage.

"So, since I was resting and didn't get to listen to Elder Axzul, can someone explain this test?" Asked Elif curiously as he glanced at Sarah and his servants while stroking Mandy's face with his hand, causing her to faintly blush.

"The test is rather simple, your Highness..." Said Marley as she summoned a golden coin the size of her hand from her dimension ring before handing it to Elif, who closely observed it.

"...Everyone was given one of these golden coins, and all one must do is acquire ten while surviving until the end of the time limit." Added Marley softly as she glanced at Elif, who raised an eyebrow before nodding.

"Ho, I see. Now that all of the weak cultivators have been separated from the group, they're only allowing the strongest to pass the test." Remarked Elif lightly with a faint smirk while spinning the golden coin atop his finger.

Just as I was about to toss the golden coin back to Marley, Idonea stepped forward and held her golden coin towards with Ember promptly doing the same, causing me to faintly smile as I grabbed the two other golden coins before storing them within my dimension ring before glancing at Sarah, who proceed to protectively hold her dimension ring.

"D-Don't look at me like that, Your Highness; I'm not your servant." Said Sarah awkwardly as she hid her hand behind her back while eyeing Elif, who chuckled while shaking his head.

"Well then, let us not delay any longer. Wait right here for me, Mandy." Stated Elif lightly as he removed his arm from around Mandy's shoulder, slapping her butt in the process before floating towards the dimensional rift while being followed by Sarah and his three servants.

Landing before the dimensional rift, I was about to enter, but I promptly stopped when I remembered what had happened last time; turning around, I glanced between Sarah and Ember before summoning two silver medallions with the royal symbol on them. Gesturing towards the two, causing them to approach me, I handed them the two silver medallions, though while doing so, I couldn't help but give Sarah a weird look.

"I'm certain I've already given you one of these, Sarah; where is it?" Asked Elif curiously as he eyed Sarah, who faintly blushed before awkwardly looking away, causing him to stare blankly at her.

"Sarah, if you tell me you lost a royal guest medallion..." Remarked Elif sternly as he narrowed his eyes at Sarah, who quickly shook her head, causing him to raise an eyebrow though he still skeptically eyed her.

"N-No, not at all, your Highness! I'm not that clumsy. I-It's just, I-I left the medallion at home in my room since I-I didn't think I'd need it." Stated Sarah softly as she carefully glanced at Elif, whose face constantly twitched before he simply sighed and shook his head.

Rubbing the bridge of my nose, I promptly enveloped Sarah and Ember in my Qi as I didn't wish to listen to her anymore before transporting them both into my dimension ring. Shaking my head, I glanced at Marley, who was sheepishly smiling, and Idonea before stepping into the dimensional rift, only to appear within a forest, yet I wasn't given a single chance to observe my surroundings as a large Titanoboa promptly attacked me.

However, even though I knew it was far too weak to pierce my physique, I didn't wish for its disgusting mouth to touch me, so I swiftly evaded the Titanoba's lunge; however, rather than attacking it, I simply concealed my presence and sat on a tree branch while searching through my dimension ring for Sarah and Ember.
