Chapter 492: - A Valuable Item from ine


    ?


    Broken and Ivana, apanied by Cedric and Cecilia, finally made their way to the residence of the Tribe Leader, ine. As they approached the vige of the Moonlight Fae, they were immediately captivated by the breathtaking sight before them. In the heart of the forest, a clearing revealed a vige of small stone buildings, each one draped in lush green vines, giving the entire ce a mystical, ancient feel.


    As they walked through the vige, Broken and Ivana noticed faeries emerging from their homes, curiously watching the neers. He couldn''t help but observe that all the faeries had the appearance of children, making it difficult to distinguish between adults and real children.


    "How do they view other races with adult appearances?" He thought, finding the concept fascinating.


    Despite their childlike appearance, the faeries were unlike any Broken had seen. They bore a striking resemnce to elves, with their delicate features and pointed ears. It reminded him of Nimue, Elowen''s younger sister, who also looked like she was in her teenage years despite being much older. If she were among these faeries, he mused, it would be nearly impossible to tell her apart from them.


    "Could they be connected somehow?" he wondered, intrigued by the possibility.


    The simrities between the faeries and elves sparked his curiosity even more. Were they perhaps from a shared origin, or was it simply a coincidental resemnce?


    "Hi everyone!" Cedric said cheerfully, escorting Broken and Ivana. "This is Mr. Broken and Ms. Ivana. They''re our saviors, hahaha."


    A few faeries murmured, "Hi, Mr. Broken."


    Another added, "Nice to meet you."


    The group collectively weed them. "Wee to ournd."


    "Pleasee visit us! We have fruits for you," one faerie offered with enthusiasm.


    Broken waved back to the faeries but remained quiet, giving only a small, polite smile. He wasn''t much for words, especially in such situations. Meanwhile, Ivana was far more engaged, waving her hand and responding to each faerie who greeted her.


    "Hi! Thanks, yes, I''m happy to be here."


    "Yes, thend is beautiful-the forest, theke, I love it!"


    "Of course, I''ll visitter. It''s great to meet all of you."


    "Thank you for weing us," she added with a warm smile.


    "Hi, yes, I''ll visitter, and we can y together, okay?" Ivana responded warmly to nearly every faerie that greeted her.


    She continued to respond enthusiastically, her warm and genuine energy encouraging the faeries toe out of their shells even more.


    Ivana''s kindness and open demeanor had always been her strength, and it was clear that bringing Ivana along was the best choice in any situation. Her ability to effortlessly blend in with others and her ever-positive attitude made her an invaluablepanion, especially in tough times.


    While Broken had always believed that being too kind could lead to being taken advantage of, Ivana seemed to prove the opposite. She had genuinely earned the kindness that others returned to her. It was obvious that her sincerity wasn''t just for show-she truly cared for everyone, even people she''d just met.


    He couldn''t help but chuckle, recalling the time Ivana had sacrificed her own level to help Elowen, someone she had only known for a few minutes. Her selflessness had been remarkable, and in the end, Elowen and her group had joined Slumdon. That had been a huge blessing for the city, all thanks to Ivana''s kindness.


    Broken smiled to himself, knowing that her presence was always a positive influence, and that herpassion had brought more good than he had ever expected.


    They continued their journey, approaching the most grandiose building in the vige. Standing guard at the entrance were four faeries, each holding a different weapon: one with a sword and shield, another with a bow, the third wielding a sword, and thest carrying a magic staff.


    "Greetings, Moonlight Knights!" Cedric called out. "I''ve brought a guest of honor to meet Lady ine."


    The faerie knights looked at them with guarded expressions. Unlike the weing demeanor of the other faeries, there was no warmth in their eyes. They were serious, vignt.


    "Lady ine is expecting you," one of the knights said. "This way, please."


    With that, they were granted permission to pass through the door and into the chamber where Lady ine awaited them.


    As Broken passed by the knights, he couldn''t help but notice their levels-clearly high and formidable, all of them are above level 200. It was evident these Moonlight Knights were the core strength of the faeries, much like Morel, who also had an impressive level.


    So far, Broken had only encountered five of these knights, but he suspected there were more. After all, they would need significant strength to protect their tribe, especially with the curse that had gued them for so long.


    He made a mental note to keep an eye on their strength and organization, wondering how many more of these elite faerie knights there might be.


    In a grand room resembling a throne chamber, the faery girl ine gracefully descended from her throne the moment she noticed Broken and Ivana''s presence. Her every movement was poised, and she carried an air of serenity that immediately drew their attention.


    "It is my utmost pleasure to extend a warm wee to you both in Moonlight Land," ine said with impable politeness, her delicate appearance seemingly that of a fifteen-year- old-doing nothing to diminish the weight of her words. There was a regal aura about her despite her youthful looks.


    "I am the Tribe Leader of the Moonlight Fae, ine," she continued, her voice calm and soothing. "I sincerely hope that both of you will find your stay here asfortable and pleasant as possible."


    Broken responded, "My name is Broken, and this is my friend, Ivana. We are grateful for your wee, though I must say, the way you invite guests is quite hazardous and, frankly, irresponsible."


    ine bowed once more, as she spoke in her gentle, refined tone. "Once again, I apologize for any distress you may have experienced. It was never our intention to cause you harm. As a token of my apology, I have prepared a gift for you," she said.


    Her demeanor remained elegant and sincere, and despite his pointed remark, ine radiated a sense of genuine hospitality.


    [Tribe Leader ine expressed her deep gratitude upon the sessfulpletion of the quest ''The Prophecy Must Be Fulfilled.'' As a token of her appreciation, she gifted you a


    valuable item.]


    At that moment, a faery girl approached from the far end of the room, carrying a folded cloth in her hands. She gracefully handed the object to ine, who smiled warmly and turned to


    Broken.


    "I present this item to you as an apology for any distress we may have caused and as a token of my deep gratitude for your willingness to visit our home, the Moonlight Land," ine said,


    her voice gentle.


    Broken lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the delicate fabric. The cloth was incredibly thin, almost transparent, and shimmered under the soft light, radiating a gentle green hue that seemed to shift with every movement.


    As he epted the item from ine''s hands, he finally realized what it was.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "A cape?" he whispered.
