Dark Eldar

The twilight in Yundal was not much different from any other world. Loki finished his last exquisite filet mignon with a silver fork. As the setting sun shone through the glass window, Loki set down his knife and fork, preparing to leave.

"Sir, your resident card." It was the guard who had been waiting for Loki to have his meal.

Loki had already spotted him, but deliberately ate slowly to avoid arousing suspicion. Loki wiped his mouth with a napkin. He took the "resident card" and glanced at it.

Jack's resident card; Loki still hasn't used his real name.

"Hmm, not bad, thank you. This way, I won't have to go through all that trouble when my relatives arrive. Spending a little more money can save me unnecessary trouble, right?" With that, Loki gave the guard 10 cloud coins.

The guard took the money and even bit it, probably because he had never earned so much money at once before.

Loki walked out of the restaurant; it was almost dark. He needed to find a hotel.

"Suit 2 clouds, pass 15 clouds, steak 3 clouds, tip 1 cloud. Less than 30 clouds left in my backpack." Loki quickly checked his money and belongings. He thought, "Overall, it's not bad, but if I keep spending money like this without change, that 'pure copper' I painstakingly forged won't be worth it."

With the pass, Loki's accommodation problem was easily solved; instead of going to the best hotel, he went to a mid-range inn.

The owner of this unnamed inn is a dwarf. One cloud coin can buy a room for a whole week. (Price listed: 0.1 cloud coins per day)

After taking a hot shower, Loki drank the hotel's bottled water. The communal teacup on the bedside table was covered in limescale. Loki simply took out the "Dwarven Crystal Bottle" from his backpack and poured some water.

"Life may be a bit chaotic, but it's still quite interesting. Staying in the palace all the time, being served meals, is boring. And who knows when this exploration will end? What will I discover? Everything is unknown..." Loki muttered to himself, lying on the dwarf bed. This little bed is really quite short.

"Knock knock knock!" Someone knocked softly on the door.

"Who is it?" Loki asked.

"I'm Elisa, is there anything else I can help you with?" a "sweet" voice said.

Loki guessed it...

"The stench of worldly money is spreading, even corrupting the wild Yundar," Loki sighed.

To Loki's surprise, Elisa wasn't a dwarf, but a human—a pure and beautiful girl.

"Sir, please have mercy and lend me 0.5 cloud coins? I will pay you back as soon as possible..."

"I have 20 cloud coins here, enough for you to start over!" After saying that, Loki used the "purification" magic to make the girl in front of him forget the dirty things and become a kind girl again.

A beam of "holy light" appeared above Elisa's head.

("Purification Spell," special effect: redemption; a key distinguishing feature between high-level and mid-level mages. Belongs to: Meditation school)

Elisa, having received the "purification," was completely unaware of what had happened. Holding 20 cloud coins in her hand, she felt an indescribable gratitude, as if she had suddenly escaped a sea of ​​suffering and been freed from pain.

"Was it the power of magic? Or did money redeem her?"

Loki closed the door and pondered for a long time.

He knew the principle that a magician could save one soul at a time. But the multiverse was too vast, and the number of "lost" souls was countless! He was already powerless. Even as a princess and a king, he still felt helpless... What should he do?

Similar "doubts"? The "elders" in the temple had already figured it out.

They once told Loki, "Let nature take its course. Like stopping time, like stopping a river, Loki! Don't interfere. What's meant to happen will happen..."
