Dark Eldar

216 Guidance from the Soul

Loki felt uneasy seeing Wolverine's achievements surpass those of his team. Normally indifferent to fame and fortune, he felt uncomfortable being overtaken.

In another luxurious mansion in the other world, Edward III was even more unbearable. After all, Edward was the future "successor" of Elder Schopenhauer in this other world. Being surpassed by Wolverine was being broadcast on the world channel, and he wasn't in a hurry to find Loki. Because if he was too hasty, everyone would think, "Loki is the captain, not Edward..."

In the luxurious hallway of the house, the father, Edward II, was reluctant to say much. He had long since retired, and his role in educating Edward III was long over—an absolutely elite education. Unfortunately, the father-son relationship was not good.

Edward II's early fate was actually quite similar to that of Edward III. However, there wasn't an era like that of Loki, a figure of exceptional talent. Even if there were, it wouldn't have been until after he was 25. Schopenhauer's teacher, Joseph, didn't trust Edward II at all, causing him shame. Cleverly, seeing that he had no competitive advantage, he placed all his hopes on his next generation—his young son, Edward III. He understood that if he were to fight Schopenhauer again, not only would both sides suffer, but it would also be detrimental to his beloved son Edward III's future. Therefore, Edward II spent a long time in the otherworldly "internal affairs" as a "teleporter," a sinecure, a job that required no attention or questioning. Heroes needed to be teleported there; they simply selected their destination on the "interface," and the trading system provided the gold coins. The "teleporter" standing by was completely relegated to a mere decoration. It's said that this job used to require "casting spells," producing smoke (manual), but now, a beam of light solves the problem (automatic. Very convenient).

As a child, Edward III was proud of his father, seeing him as the embodiment of justice. As Edward III grew up, he graduated with excellent grades, much to his father's delight!

Regarding family identity (magical nobility), the good news is that all mid-to-high-level mages in this other world know that the high-DPS "Edward II" voluntarily "abdicated" back then. The heroes of this other world are aware that the Edward family's best "initial talent," primarily focused on "Intelligence," is heritable...

Elder Schopenhauer still dares not rashly appoint Edward II. If he does, his own position may be jeopardized. No one knows what power lies hidden behind each powerful "otherworldly noble hero."

Elder Sun Yun of the other world, on the surface, is also a person who does not contend with the world. Schopenhauer never dared to neglect him. Because Elder Sun Yun is the representative of "Eastern Homo sapiens"!! Note: In the full map of "Dark Eldar," although there are many races, the human branch is the most important. Their skin color, region, details including eye color, cultural and historical attributes, etc., are very important! If Elder Sun Yun were not in a high position, the entire peripheral "Eastern market" would likely be diluted. "Multiple worlds" are not just a problem of the virtual world; the real world and "market share" (virtual economy) are together the guarantee for the survival of order! Imagine, "If there are no people, then even the most powerful 'order' will be a 'machine' without 'utility' or 'value of existence' and will slowly be eliminated."

Loki, an apprentice of Elder Sun Yun, is essentially a "grand-apprentice" of Joseph. After Joseph's sudden disappearance, Loki became an apprentice of Elder Sun Yun. Elder Sun Yun was not strict with Loki. To quote Elder Sun Yun, "This child has considerable talent!" (In common language, "considerable talent" is a uniquely Eastern word, distinct from "very," indicating a quantity between a small number and a large number, and is quite subtle...)

On the first day we met. In the apprenticeship hall (7122; small coordinates on the otherworld map).

"Greetings, Elder Sun Yun. I am the nameless mage Loki." Loki knelt on both knees and bowed politely and humbly.

"No need to be so polite. Elder Joseph is also my teacher, and I was deeply saddened by his sudden disappearance. You and I could have been fellow disciples. It's just that you're too young, and perhaps that's why Teacher Joseph didn't formally accept you as his apprentice." Elder Sun Yun was very adept at reasoning. On the first day, he clearly explained his identity to Loki, fearing Loki might misunderstand. (There's an Eastern proverb that says, "Treat others with courtesy, in all matters, big and small." It's quite complex, and many orcs, giants, and even very ancient elves can't understand it. Dragons, on the other hand, seem particularly interested in it and seem to know a great deal about it. Legend has it that in ancient times, dragons fought alongside the ancestors of Eastern Homo sapiens!)

"Please come with me, Loki." In the Otherworldly Hall, Elder Sun Yun avoided everyone. He wanted to find out Loki's background.

"Young man, now it's just the two of us. I've completely shut down the spectator system. Let's talk! Speak your mind about how you want to develop. I don't want to be a one-man show. As you can see, I have many 'ninjas' here, as well as swordsmen, boxers, and so on. If you want to learn, I'm certainly willing to teach you personally. However, as far as I know, your 'spell points' are very scattered. Joseph intentionally had you allocate them incorrectly to your talents and skills. I'd like to hear your opinion." Elder Sun Yun's way of speaking then was no different from how he speaks now. It's as if the Elder Sun Yun of 100 years ago is still the same "Elder Sun Yun" of today.

The conversation lasted for two hours.

"Yes, very good, Loki. Always follow the guidance of your own heart..."
