Chapter 96: 62 – A Light In The Dark

What opportunity did she mean? Will I even be able to find it?

Amara looked down at Teyrin through Farsight. Although she didn’t doubt Sophelia’s information, she doubted her own ability to find the opportunity she had mentioned.

After all, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. With no further direction on where to look, Amara had no choice but to hope that she could find whatever Sophelia was referring to by checking up on the important places or figures.

Which made her search begin with the hourglass placed at the top of the mountain. 

Oh, things have changed over the years. Looks like they’re planning on building something. They’ve even made stairs at certain places to make it easier to scale the mountain.

Don’t tell me they’re worshiping the hourglass? 

Although...I suppose religious people on Earth also show their reverence in similar ways. 

Amara let out a sigh and redirected her sight from the desolate mountain top. 

Next would be checking what the rulers and other prominent figures are up to.

It didn’t take long for Amara’s sight to arrive at the mansion that the city lord lived in. He sat in his illuminated office, listening to the reports of a group of officials with a tired expression. 

As she eavesdropped on the conversation, Amara understood that there was growing unrest within the city. 

Was this what Sophelia was referring to?

Really? I mean they say that chaos is an opportunity, but...somehow I don’t think she was suggesting I incite chaos. I don’t even know why people are unsatisfied.

Amara let out a sigh as she concluded that the city lord had nothing to do with Sophelia’s hint. Next is the church. 

If it’s not in this city...where do I look next? I’m not even sure where all the capitals are. 

After managing to find the church in the city darkened by night, Amara searched through the small labyrinth of corridors from room to room. After a while, she managed to find the person she was looking for - the pope.

And the pope wasn’t alone. Although she couldn’t put a finger on why, she felt that the party of three that the pope was meeting with felt out of place.

“The demons must have been easy to deal with in your world.” (Pope)

The elf shook her head, temporarily revealing her pointy ears. “Not at all. We-”

Amara suddenly realized why the trio sparked her intuition. 

Wait...it’s them! The elves! Aleesha and co!

They made it!

Amara recalled how she had first seen the elves’ attempt to leave their own world. Following their first attempt, Amara had checked up on their progress at regular intervals.

However, once they succeeded in teleporting, Amara had no way to track them. With little new information to be gained from checking up on the elven homeworld, she had little choice but to give up her stalking.

She had hoped that if they managed to succeed, she would eventually find out by eavesdropping on Teyrin’s and Whildernae’s leadership. But as time went on without further news, she eventually lost interest and forgot about them.

Amara’s thoughts ran rampant in excitement. This is great! This means there’ll be more cannon - ahem, reinforcements for the final battle! 

And they can already travel between worlds, even without me. But with their help, I might be able to get a suitable transportation system in-

Hold up, Amara. You need to contact them first!

Amara realized she was grinning as her eyes were focused on Aleesha.
