Chapter 179 - Helping Elanor
“Yes, we can get you back to the palace, but we are only tier 6 right now, so we need to do a bit of training to at least reach tier 7 before we take you with us.” Shaman felt quite nervous seeing that now she is directly meddling with an issue that isn’t even related to her.
“Hmm, I can always take you to the secret passage.” Elanor thought they would be able to sneak in through there, but Kiruya interjected.
“Bad idea, we want an alibi, so if we go through by clearing the dungeon and you just happened to slip by, then that's a lot more plausible than appearing randomly through the secret entrance.” Kiruya didn’t want anyone to get exiled and at least with this method, there is no way they can be prosecuted as long as everyone has their story straight.
“I agree with Kiruya. Although it would be quicker to go through the secret passage, it's undeniable that we will have a better time getting away with it by clearing the dungeon.” Clara was all for being quick, but seeing as they were dealing with the daughter of the royal elf family it was best to go the safer route.
“Can’t we just sneak to the end of the dungeon and leave Elanor there? I mean there are always people entering the dungeon, so it will be impossible to tell who smuggled Elanor in, especially since we can hide her.” Silver put in his opinion which was reasonable, but there was 1 flaw.
“The entrance is sealed by the dark elf king, so we can’t sneak by without killing him, and since it's a tier 7 leader we need to be prepared.” Kiruya liked Silver’s thinking, but factors were stopping them from doing it.
“So we are grinding until we get to tier 7, then we take on the boss?” Elysia, who wasn’t really interested in Elanor’s situation, laid out their first objective.
“That's the plan, so after that, we will take Elanor in and from there it will be up to her.” Shaman turned to Elanor, who was on the verge of tears as ever since she has been kicked out, it has been nothing but misery.
“T-thank you so much, I will try my best to not be a burden.” Unable to hold back the tears, Elanor began to cry. Aside from Elysia, The others all had smiles on their faces, glad that they were able to help.
“Alright, if that's everything sorted, is there anything in particular you need before we go head for the dungeon to get some levels?” Shaman knew they had taken quite the detour, but she still wanted to get to the dungeon, so she hoped there wasn’t anything else.
“W-well depends, other than the nobles that are constantly on my back, there isn’t much that needs to be done for me.” Elanor’s voice was still shaky, but she wiped away the tears and tried to speak clearly.
“Hmm, well you can stay in my room for now and we can rent another one once we are back, unless there is something you need to pick up from home.” Shaman's first thoughts were to kill them, but since she doesn’t have direct permission from someone high in power, it was a stupid idea.
“Murder?” Elysia, hearing nobels, had her interest piqued as she enjoyed toying with some of the nobles during the killing spree they had in the Freya forest.
“Elysia no! Not this time.” Shaman turned and slightly smacked Elysia on the top of the head.
“Aww.” Elysia’s ears drooped down as she cradled her head.
“Aha, if it's okay, after you return can we go to my place so I can get my belongings? Luckily I don’t have work tonight.” Elanor did not mind waiting for them to return as after the failed kidnapping she was almost too scared to go outside.
“If you are willing to wait then that's great, have some money so you can get something to eat at this inn’s small restaurant downstairs.” Shaman didn’t mind, but she definitely didn’t want to leave Elanor without something just in case.
This action alone almost brought Elanor to tears as it had been years since she has ever been shown genuine kindness.
“I shall be waiting for your return.” Elanor tried to smile, which ended up melting the group’s hearts.
“Alright well, let's get this levelling done.” Clara was eager to get it done as the quicker they cleared, the faster they could come back to help Elanor.
“Yes, we have a town and a part of a castle to raid, so make sure you are prepared for a long fight.” Kiruya didn’t know what to expect from the 4 as they could end up clearing the first area in a matter of minutes.
“Elysia, no just blowing up the entire place.” Shaman glared at her, knowing full well what Elysia was itching to do.
“Hmph.” Turning her head away and pouting, Elysia felt she was unfairly called out. of course she WAS intending to go out with a bang… but she didn’t even say anything yet, how was this treatment fair?
*Sigh* “Anyway Elanor, rest here for now and we should be back in a few hours.” Shaman shook her head as it was becoming more common that Elysia would opt to just destroy things in a big blast rather than take things one on one.
“Mhm.” Elanor nodded and tightened her hold on the handful of gold coins she was given.
“Yay! I’ve been itching to fight for so long.” Silver did a little hop to the door as he was excited to get back into fighting again.

“Let’s make our way then, take care Elanor.” Clara followed after Silver while waving to Elanor. Soon everyone exited the inn, leaving Elanor all by herself in Shaman and Elysia's room.
‘Little brother, finally I get to see you again.’ Thinking about her brother Ren, who managed to stay in the palace for still having some blonde in his hair, she hoped he hadn’t been brainwashed by grandfather.
‘Knowing dad, he has been doing his best to protect Ren. Just before I left it seemed like grandfather was ill, so I doubt he can use his magic anymore. Not to mention the curse my father mentioned that prevented any of us from ending that old bastard's life.’ Elanor gritted her teeth in anger as the old hatred that has persisted in her heart for many years resurfaced once more.
‘Having to fend for myself when I was only 16, I'm surprised I have lasted the last 6 without dying in a ditch somewhere.’ Elanor remembered when she was first kicked out, which initially wasn’t even in the capital city but in a small town nearby. It was only recently that Elanor was able to move into the capital, but as soon as she did, it seemed her great grandfather prepared a few nobles to make it a living hell for her.
‘Now that I have met some people willing to help, finally, I can see Ren, mother and father again.’ Elanor missed her family, which has been her motivation in trying to work her way back into the city.
Putting down the coins she was given, Elanor made her way to the bed and laid down, planning to get some sleep before she went to get something to eat.

<Inside a backroom of a small mansion>
“Have you found her?” A noble who was missing part of his arm looked at a few half canines who were kneeling.
“Yes, she seemed to have been picked up by a few adventurers and is currently staying in their inn.”
“Hmm good, get together a few people and kidnap her, we are getting revenge on whoever did this to me.” Grabbing a hold of his arm that was yet to be reattached, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he fantasized about his revenge.
“Right away sir! By tonight she will be here.” The half canines quickly exited the room to carry out the orders.
“After this, finally I’ll get paid and I will no longer have to worry about expenses ever again.” Thinking back to the deal he made with the previous ruler of Elfheim, he couldn’t wait to be done with the impurity that was Elanor.
“I should let the others know of my moves, otherwise they will start knocking at my door for answers.” Although he was greedy and wanted the reward money for himself, there was more than enough to share.
“Just you wait, Elanor, soon you will be begging at my feet.” Licking his lips, he turned and exited the small backroom where the meeting was held.

<Dark elf dungeon>
“Alright, is everyone ready to start clearing?” Shaman looked out to the town they planned to attack and was making sure everyone was ready.
“Yep.”
“Mhm.”
“Hehe finally.”
Elysia, Clara and Silver all responded while pulling out their weapons and taking position next to Shaman, ready to move.
“Each of us will take a quarter of the town. If you finish early, wait in the middle. Then once we clean up the town, we siege the castle!” Shaman pulled out Kotetsu and couldn’t wait to start levelling again.
Everyone nodded while Kiruya stood back to watch the show, as she wasn’t allowed to participate unless they were in trouble.
“3, 2, 1 annnnd GO!” After a short countdown, the go signal was given and they all sprinted into the town, each going to their respective area to eliminate the dark elves.
