Dark Eldar

The sacred otherworld protects both the famous (the strong) and the nameless heroes (the weak).

After Loki entered the other world, his first priority was to visit his teacher (as a matter of etiquette), Elder Sun Yun, a level 999 max-level dimensional mage.

"You've arrived, child." Elder Sun Yun waited in his simple, unadorned dormitory, without going out. He seemed to have anticipated Loki's upcoming visit, refraining from assigning any unnecessary tasks or handling any miscellaneous matters. Elder Sun Yun was usually extremely busy, especially now that his status had risen considerably, and Grand Elder Morza needed Elder Sun Yun's involvement to make certain judgments about the situation.

Elder Sun Yun addressed Loki with even more warmth.

"YES (Common language), yes, Elder," Loki replied simply. He seemed to still be the same scrawny apprentice he once was, not the renowned Loki the Wizard of the present. While the title of Loki the Wizard of the World was somewhat outdated, he still held far greater renown in this other world than outside, thanks to his status as the rightful owner of the artifact "Hammer of the Creator" (golden).

Elder Morza and Elder Sun Yun had discussed this matter, wondering if it was possible to bring Loki back. Elder Sun Yun did not give Morza a definite answer.

"Sit down, I've prepared some top-quality durian pastries for you (high-end food; custom-made by a chef). Ah, take them quickly, I can't stand the smell." Elder Sun Yun shielded his sense of smell before handing them to Loki.

"Thank you, teacher." Loki quickly knelt down on one knee.

"Get up, it's the kitchen. Try what that shape-shifting bear monster made!" (Druid; Chef - Condis, Max Level; Support)

Loki chewed slowly and used a dispelling spell to get rid of the odor. He didn't want his teacher to have a heightened sense of smell.

"Hmm, your purification is almost on par with mine." Sun Yun nodded happily. Although he was no longer Loki's teacher, he was naturally pleased to see Loki's skillful use of magic.

The small durian shortbread (advanced cooking recipe, purple) is the most challenging to master, requiring the caster to maintain the aroma within their own reach while still enjoying its deliciousness, without alerting the high-level teacher opposite them. This is extremely difficult to control. Dispel magic is itself a large-scale magical skill, and achieving 1100 controllable points is incredibly difficult. It requires at least 3000 spell power and maxed-out proficiency. Even at max level, most ordinary mages have less than 2000 spell power. Elder-level mages can reach around 2500, and those exceeding 3000 are likely only those of Elder Schopenhauer's generation. Elder Sun Yun is very pleased with the significant progress Loki has made in the field of magic.

"Master, please forgive my youthful ignorance. I've come to my senses now. I want to sell the artifact." Loki originally didn't want to have a heart-to-heart talk with his master, but seeing his teacher's eagerness and enthusiasm, coupled with the fact that he had forgotten to bring a gift, he felt extremely guilty. To be honest, Elder Sun Yun had always been very kind to him, but Loki had clearly neglected him. He felt deeply ashamed.

"It's alright, child. The path is under our own feet, isn't it? Your master can only offer some simple advice now. You can listen or not." Elder Sun Yun didn't reprimand Loki for the gift or props. He had previously formally requested that Loki not bring any "things" when visiting him. Elder Sun Yun disliked formalities, and he disliked accepting gifts from others even more.

Loki, looking at his empty hands, was completely focused on the deal with Demacia for the artifact. He still felt uneasy; he had always cherished his teacher, but today, he felt himself "getting cocky" (a general term for arrogance).

"Come here, Loki. Master has taken a rare day off today. I know you're coming. And it's to trade artifacts with Demar and his daughter, isn't it?" Elder Sun Yun made no attempt to hide his intentions. With so many spies in this other world, news travels incredibly fast.

"Yeah, I don't want to use it anymore," Loki said casually.

"Alright, but... but could I take another look?" Elder Sun Yun pleaded. To be honest, since Loki forged the artifact, Elder Sun Yun had never seriously examined it even once. Previously, Elder Sun Yun had been quite strict with Loki, and given their master-disciple relationship in this other world, there was a clear distinction of rank. He couldn't communicate with his disciple much, nor could he be overly involved in the process.

Now that Loki is no longer an apprentice from another world, he has no more reservations and they have become close friends despite their age difference.

"Here you are, Master," Loki presented it respectfully. He felt a pang of self-reproach. He wished he could give the artifact to his aging master for free, but alas, it was the only one, and he had already promised it to someone else...

Elder Sun Yun carefully took out the "Goblin Crystal High-Magnification Magnifying Glass" (Engineering; Identification Function) from the rosewood drawer, examined it closely, and gently stroked it. He hadn't seen such an exquisite heirloom weapon in a long time.

"It truly is a legendary artifact," Elder Sun Yun exclaimed.

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

"Here's Loki back. It's undoubtedly a genuine artifact. I was worried before that what you forged might be a fake, like the rumors suggested, and I never dared to have it appraised. I was afraid of a false report on the world channel, which would hurt your pride. You truly are a master, kid!!"

Elder Sun Yun stroked his beard, nodded in approval, and laughed heartily.

"Teacher, do you have any objections to my trading artifact?" Loki asked naively.

"No objections, Loki. Your master supports any decision you make. As long as it doesn't violate morality or harm others, your master will support you!" Elder Sun Yun spoke with great passion, as if he were seeing his younger self in him. Moreover, he genuinely admired his disciple.

"Go ahead, I've already spoken to the Grand Elder, you don't need to see him. Just go directly to the North District of the Advanced Academy and find your good friend! Her name is... right, it's Elisa, isn't it?" Elder Sun Yun said humorously.

"Hmm, Elisa, Elisa, either one is fine." Loki can be a bit serious sometimes.

"Teacher, I'm off then, thank you." Loki bowed politely, preparing to say goodbye.

"Alright, and one more thing! Her teacher, Odana, you don't need to hold back. Use your magic to fight her. This is also the Grand Elder's intention. He also wants to know your strength." Elder Sun Yun waved his hand, giving instructions for the final "test."

Loki nodded, bowed deeply, and bid farewell to his teacher.

Loki felt much more relaxed after leaving Master Sun Yun's house (the Master-level Elders' area). He knew that some things were best left in the past, and what had happened should also be left in the past. "When I have treasures in the future, I will naturally not forget to repay kindness. As for fruits and vegetables, that's only human nature and a matter of goodwill." Loki admitted that he had been negligent.

"I'll remember to buy some bananas, apples, and milk for the teacher next time, but I've had a long journey today and was in a bit of a rush, so I can't think about that now." He still needed to find Alyssa and finish the deal with Demacia as soon as possible.
