“So the demon race has already appeared in this world so many times?”

“Yes, they have appeared many times, but not once have we truly eliminated them. Their life force is far more tenacious than we can imagine,” Avira said.

Liana thought for a moment. The holy sword Princess Avira just mentioned should be the same one she had seen before.

“From what Princess Avira has said, is the key to victory that holy sword?”

“I believe so. The shadow of the holy sword was present in both victories against the demons, but the wielders were completely different; one was human, and the other was an elf.” This was one of the reasons Avira sought an alliance.

If both generations of holy sword wielders had been elves, given the pride of the elf race, they naturally would not have chosen to ally with another race.

“Then have you found the holy sword?” Liana asked.

If the holy sword is so important, Sephirena should have told Avira about it, right? That the sword appeared in her illusion.

But Avira shook her head. “Although we have done our best to search for clues about the holy sword, it is regrettable that we have not found it.”

Now, not only did they not know if the wielder of the holy sword was human or elf, they didn’t even know where the sword was.

Sephirena didn’t tell Avira about this?

Liana frowned. Sephirena ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) should understand the significance of the holy sword to this world better than anyone. Moreover, in the illusion, she had successfully wielded the sword and repelled the demons.

Although it was only a remnant of the demon race, Sephirena was, without a doubt, a person who had wielded the holy sword.

But since Sephirena hadn’t said anything, it wasn’t appropriate for her to speak up either.

“At the very least, you must have a general area, right? If there’s nothing to go on, the search will be too troublesome.” Liana thought about how best to give Princess Avira a hint.

The most pressing matter now was to find the holy sword. Sephirena herself had said that she had seen the sword many times in her illusion, but she couldn’t see a trace of it in the same location within the Elf Forest.

“Since the last wielder of the holy sword was an elf, then the sword should probably be somewhere in the Elf Forest, right?” Liana said.

“Perhaps, but we have searched many times, practically turning the Elf Forest upside down, and have seen no sign of the holy sword,” Avira said.

“So, are you preparing to search the human territories?”

“Actually, we have already searched the human territories.” At this point, there was no need to hide certain things. “But regrettably, we did not find any trace of the holy sword either.”

“You went to the Luska Kingdom as well?”

“Of course. However, the holy sword would certainly not like the atmosphere in the Luska Kingdom,” Avira said.

“I see.” The holy sword definitely can’t be found in the human world, because it’s right here in your Elf Forest.

“But I still believe the probability of the holy sword being in the Elf Forest is higher. After all, the last wielder was an elf. I think she must have hidden the holy sword somewhere in the Elf Forest. Or perhaps, the holy sword hid itself, and the person who can be acknowledged by it has not yet appeared.” Liana was certain the holy sword was absolutely in the Elf Forest.

“What Your Highness Liana says is very reasonable. I will have the guards pay more attention.” Avira nodded. She wasn’t very clear on what the requirements were for the holy sword’s selection.

“The Lisat Kingdom will also pay close attention. If any sign of the holy sword is discovered within the Lisat Kingdom, we will notify you at once. After all, we are allies, right?” Liana said with a smile.

“Of course.” Avira smiled back. “However, if Your Highness Liana were to really discover the holy sword in the human world, then in all likelihood, you would be the one chosen by the sword.”

Liana spread her hands. “I don’t think I have that ability.”

After all, Liana had already tried; her mana reserves were simply not enough to fuel the holy sword.

However, this did remind Liana of something.

“Princess Avira, do you remember the bracelet you gave me?” Liana asked.

“Of course.” Avira had also noticed that Liana was not wearing the bracelet on her wrist. “Did you not like it?”

“No, I liked it very much, and that bracelet was a great help to me. As an elf, you should be able to clearly sense the difference between me and other humans. My mana storage and recovery speed are a bit slower than others,” Liana said, holding out her hand.

Avira took Liana’s hand and did indeed sense this.

“With the help of your bracelet before, my mana recovery speed was barely on par with a normal human’s. But due to an accident, I carelessly broke it. So, Princess Avira...”

“I understand.” Princess Avira understood Liana’s intention before she even finished speaking. “It’s just an ordinary bracelet, of course it’s no problem.”

But Avira was a little puzzled. Mother Tree of Life had already given Liana her blessing; how could she not know about this?

“...However, the materials are a bit special and require some time to prepare,” Avira said, having an idea.

“Thank you, Princess Avira.” Liana had no idea what Avira was thinking right now. Just being able to get that bracelet was already good news.

“And Princess Mephilia? Is there any way I can help you?” Avira had not forgotten that Princess Mephilia was right beside Liana.

Mephilia shook her head. “As long as you can help Liana, that is enough.”

Mephilia didn’t have any excessive demands. She had come here for the alliance and to learn about the demon race.

“Princess Mephilia truly dotes on Her Highness Liana,” Avira said with a smile.

“It is Liana who has been helping me,” Mephilia retorted.

“Princess Avira, where are Princess Sephirena and Princess Nimeris?” Liana asked. “Since we are now allies, we will surely meet in the future. It would be better to get to know each other in advance.”

After all, asking directly about Sephirena would be too obvious, so Liana brought Nimeris into it as well. However, Liana also did genuinely want to see what Nimeris was up to.

After all, in the original story, Nimeris had contact with the demon race. If possible, Liana wanted to resolve this hidden danger in advance, which would make fighting the demons much easier.
