Dark Eldar

The friends a hero makes in the starting village are the ones who leave the deepest impression. —Nameless Discipline from Another World 16846181113

The banquet was still in progress. On the side of the dance floor, a handsome violinist stood and slowly began to play the melodious D major serenade. Elisa invited Loki to dance with her.

Loki's life skills (shortcut key L) are basically all maxed out. Occasionally, there are niche skills like lacquerware and embroidery that Loki hasn't maxed out. But skills like dancing are naturally second nature to him.

Today, dining at the restaurant are also young heroes from the Dark Eldar faction. After years of stalemate, the Dark Eldar heroes have gradually integrated into the towns surrounding this other world. They not only appear in the arena but also occasionally in inns and upscale restaurants. It's said they've even been spotted in dragon territory. (Hearthstone function: Dark Eldar can be bound)

There are currently no Dark Eldar NPCs. Most of the heroes they have shown are of average combat strength; the true core figures have not yet appeared. Among them, high-level heroes at VIP3 rank are almost entirely absent.

In the center of the dance floor at the Alpha restaurant, Loki and Elisa were dancing gracefully (ballroom dancing). Since Loki was the number one spender at the restaurant, the two of them were naturally the focus of the entire place.

Among them, the Dark Eldar couple in the small private booths also turned around and applauded Loki and Elisa.

During the dance, Loki's thoughts were actually fluctuating, but he maintained a very rational and gentlemanly demeanor on the surface.

Regarding his views on love, when faced with a choice between two options, Loki knew he either had to choose one or neither. Choosing one meant he liked one of them; choosing neither? That was more complicated—either he liked both, or he liked neither, or he liked one, or he wasn't entirely satisfied...

Before accepting the dance invitation, Loki already knew what his choice should be. He still somewhat wanted to use "time" to judge who he truly loved. This is a choice that seems to be endlessly replicated by "AI" in a "multiverse" teeming with handsome men and beautiful women. It's a choice that almost every hero faces during their growth...

"Elisa, you dance so well! Who taught you?" Loki exclaimed, his tone slightly awkward.

After a dance performance ended, the two of them sat on the tidied sofa, drinking champagne.

"I redeemed the skill points myself from the shop. I just want to learn to dance. My cooking skill is still green, but my dancing skill is almost maxed out." Alyssa had a few beads of sweat on her face, and her perfume gave her a slightly tipsy feeling.

Loki has an extremely keen sense of smell.

Next, the Dark Eldar couple performed a dance.

The dance music chosen was "Titanic," a song from the Dark Eldar's homeland.

"Elisa, look, the Dark Eldar's physique is quite different from ours. When they dance, it looks a little mechanical," Loki said, taking a sip of champagne. Gradually, he seemed to let go of his initial awkwardness and blend into the atmosphere.

"Yeah, that's hilarious! Loki, right?" Alyssa laughed. Her laughter was bright and cheerful, the kind Loki liked. Loki could sense it. As for Elaine, the daughter of Demacia, Loki could also picture her smile—a powerful yet gentle smile, also one he liked. Therefore, Loki had to choose between Alyssa and Elaine.

But who should be chosen? It's not just Loki; if it were anyone else, they might say they want both? But that would be unfair, unfair to Elisa and Elaine...

"Alyssa, it's almost 22 PM, let's go back. I need to go to Kent Manor (Werewolf territory) to take care of some things." Loki was worried that Alyssa would be reprimanded by the elders if she returned late. After all, she was still a mid-level priest.

"Yes, it's time to go back. Let's go, Brother Lugi." With that, Elisa put down her champagne glass and stood up gracefully.

Loki had already settled the bill, and he hadn't actually collected too many gold coins. After all, the Mysterious Island Dry Red Wine 3544 was quite expensive in the shop.

The mid-range hotel wasn't far from the other world, only a 10-minute walk. They didn't hold hands, but strolled side by side at a steady pace to the entrance of the mid-range dormitory in the other world.

Under the cover of night, Loki waved to Elisa without saying much or making any promises.

Elisa and Loki waved, but didn't say much.

Welcome, traveler!

On the giant airship, the short goblin greeted Loki in a friendly manner.

Loki nodded, bought his ticket, chose a single deluxe cabin, and pulled the thin blanket over himself. He took a sip of the goblin-made Wanshan brand purified water (complimentary in the package), his mind racing, unsure how to proceed...

Loki did not see any of the Eldar heroes on this long-distance airship journey.

A few hours ago, Loki was a little surprised when he saw the Dark Eldar couple at the Alpha Restaurant. After all, before he went to participate in the advanced trials, the Dark Eldar had only appeared in neutral cities or dominated arenas.

It's as if they've traveled through time without anyone noticing? It's like many years have passed in an instant. Loki couldn't quite put his finger on whether it was natural or not; he just felt that everything was happening too fast, time was passing too quickly, and everything was happening silently, as if many, many things he didn't know had happened all at once.

The windows of the giant airship are a patented invention of goblin engineering. They allow every passenger to enjoy the scenery outside by simply drawing back the curtains if they can't sleep during their journey. It's nighttime now, and many lights are clearly visible outside. Below, the towns boast numerous shops, inns, taverns, weapon shops, jewelry stores, and more; the cityscape at night is almost entirely visible.

Loki suddenly felt old. He realized he had never visited or tasted any of these shops, restaurants, or beverage parlors (these were already highlighted on the map).

"This wasn't the case before. I've traveled to every map, big and small, in this other world. I've been to almost every place with good food and fun activities! But now, it all feels so strange and new. Obviously, most of them are newly opened? It's obvious I haven't been there before..." Loki muttered to himself, and soon drifted off to sleep.
