Chapter 246: Three Hundred Years

“My lady, are you alright?”

Elusa’s knight captain, Levant, rushed over the moment he heard the commotion in the courtyard.

He had been a servant of the Elusa family since childhood and had watched Elusa grow up.

He was both her protector and, in a way, an elder.

As a grand knight, Levant could handle most dangers, and it was rare to encounter wizards in the Kingdom of Doris.

Elusa and her family were under the protection of the Dream Island wizard organization, so no ordinary wizard would dare trouble them unless they had a death wish.

Elusa shook her head. “It’s nothing. Helag sent me something.”

“Helag?” Levant was surprised.

Though Helag was a powerful wizard, Levant had never liked him.

Elusa nodded. “Yes, nothing to worry about.”

Seeing that everything was fine, Levant retreated.

Elusa opened the letter and began reading.

The letter was long, detailing what had happened to Helag since he left Ryan City.

“Liquid-stage wizard…”

Elusa hadn’t expected Helag to advance so quickly. When he left, he had only been a wizard apprentice, and now he had become a liquid-stage wizard.

What surprised her even more was learning that this corner of the continent was called the Barrens, and that the wizard organizations here were all exiled.

She had never heard of the Land of Dawn, where much more powerful wizard organizations existed.

Perhaps Dino knew, but he had never told her about it.

Now that Helag had entered Seranthiel in the Land of Dawn, his future was undoubtedly bright, and Elusa was genuinely happy for him.

After finishing the letter, Elusa understood why Helag hadn’t had the chance to visit her in the past few years. Any lingering resentment in her heart faded away.

Instead, she felt more worried. From what Helag had described, his journey had been filled with danger and challenges.

And she, with only a small amount of magical power as a first-level wizard apprentice, couldn’t help him at all.

“In a few years, even if you come, I won’t want to see you. By then, I’ll already be old,” Elusa thought to herself.

She wanted to leave Helag with the image of her in her youth and beauty, not her older, withered self.

Elusa sighed after reading the letter, feeling that it was still too short.

There were some things that could never be fully expressed in a letter. They needed to be said face-to-face, over the course of an entire night or day.

She set the letter down and looked at the wooden box, wondering what it contained. The letter hadn’t mentioned it.

Elusa opened the box and found a translucent green leaf inside, along with a small folded note.

The note had a message: “Open this when no one else is around.”

Seeing this, Elusa quickly closed the box and said softly, “You two may leave.”

“Yes, my lady,” the two maids responded and quickly left.

Once the courtyard was empty, Elusa reopened the box and unfolded the note.

The note read: “This is World Tree sap. Consuming it will extend your life by 300 years. Remember, this is a precious item. Do not tell anyone about it. After reading this, burn the note.”

Elusa was stunned for a moment before crumpling the note in her hand and tossing it into the nearby small fireplace.

She picked up the leaf and murmured, “What a cruel man. I had planned to miss you for a hundred years, and now you’re making me miss you for three hundred.”

With a soft smile, Elusa opened her lips and ate the World Tree sap.

She closed her eyes, feeling the strange changes happening inside her body.

Already voluptuous and alluring, she seemed to become even more beautiful and radiant.

More importantly, Elusa noticed that her sensitivity to the surrounding energy particles had increased significantly.

Her wizard aptitude had always been poor, and meditation had done little to improve her spiritual power.

The main reason was her weak sensitivity to the energy particles around her, and her body’s low efficiency in absorbing and converting them. This made her meditation ineffective, and as a result, her spiritual power never grew.

But now, things were different. Elusa felt an entirely new sensation.

She thought that perhaps she could try meditating again.

Elusa immediately began meditating, using the “Boundless Sea” meditation technique that Dino had taught her. It was a high-level technique from Dream Island, one that most people weren’t qualified to learn.

A few hours later, Elusa opened her eyes, her expression filled with excitement.

She had discovered that her meditation practice was now completely different from before—it was actually working.

This realization gave Elusa a new sense of purpose.

Previously, she had been no different from an ordinary person, resigned to living out her life in obscurity.

After meeting Helag, Elusa had wanted to follow him, but she knew deep down that it was impossible.

Wizards and ordinary people were almost two different life forms. Her life was too short, and her youth even shorter.

So, despite her reluctance, she had watched Helag leave, unable to even voice her desire to follow him.

At the time, she had wished her aptitude had been better.

At least then, she could have meditated and cultivated, working hard to become stronger.

With Dream Island supporting her, she wouldn’t have lacked resources as long as she could meditate and cultivate.

The main problem had always been her poor aptitude. Meditation had been almost useless for her.

So, Elusa had passively accepted her fate, preparing to live out her life as it was.

But now, everything had changed. The World Tree sap had not only extended her life by 300 years but also improved her constitution.

In fact, the World Tree sap naturally had this effect. It was just that Helag and Asna already had good aptitudes, so the improvement wasn’t as noticeable, and they didn’t feel any significant changes.

The World Tree sap was something only elves typically had the chance to consume, and elves were born with extremely high magical aptitude. As a result, they wouldn’t notice much improvement from the sap.

It was like someone who could already score 100 on a test—adding one more point wouldn’t make much of a difference.

But Elusa was different. Her natural aptitude had been very poor.

After consuming the World Tree sap, her cultivation aptitude had been raised to above average.

This kind of improvement brought about a drastic change in her experience, making the difference incredibly obvious to her.

This was something Helag hadn’t anticipated—he hadn’t expected the World Tree sap to enhance Elusa’s aptitude.

A smile appeared on Elusa’s lips. She now had a new goal.

That goal was to cultivate hard and become stronger.

The next time she saw Helag, she wanted to surprise him.

Elusa suddenly thought that she might even be able to advance to a full-fledged wizard.

Typically, one had to advance to a full wizard before the age of eighteen.

This was because humans only had a lifespan of about a hundred years, and Amanda’s potion burned a person’s life force to unlock their potential, allowing them to break through to become a full wizard.
