Chapter 416: Elven Prophet, Elara!
"Do you know about the Elven prophet?"
The Pope's question caught them off guard. The mention of an Elven prophet had piqued their curiosity, and they exchanged intrigued glances before nodding their heads.
The Elven prophetess, known as Elara, is said to have foreseen everything that will be happening in the future.
She was the reason why Elves despite being the weaker races had been hailed as almost equal to Devil and Human in recent decades.
During the third war between Devils and Human, other races had interfered and even attacked the two Domains thinking that they could easily win.
However, Elves refrained despite being one of the strongest races because Elara has told them to.
And that was the right decision as despite being in war with each other, Devil and Human were simply too strong. They annihilated the species that attacked them and established themselves as the superpower of Edolas.
With this, Elara established herself as the wise and true prophet. In the future after that, she has hands in every big decision that Elves take.
That's why, most of the decision made by Elves were right and they hardly do things that would cause their race to be extinct
With such terrifying power, she has also gained immense fame. Her presence made it difficult for even Devils and Humans to scheme and attack Elves.
There was no such thing as a surprise attack for Elves as Elara would have already foreseen such things. No things as faking attacks as that also would have been seen through.
And relying on brutal force was not good against Elves. They would have already put traps as they would know where the attackers would attack.
And as Elves were mostly bow users, they would slowly reduce the number of attackers from long distance, making them invincible in defense.
In the time that Elara took her place as minister, Elves had never lost battles.
Even the new generation like Zero has at least heard about Elara, the Elves prophet. She was someone who is to be feared and respected.
"Yes, we are aware of her. But does that have to do anything with us?"
Zero asked confusedly. Yes, we all know who the Elven prophet is and what her abilities signify.
( You don't mean to say that you also possess such abilities. )
Zero thought. He didn't think the Pope had such abilities or else how could he miss Cardinal Hildred betraying the church and killing off so many loyal believers.
"Haha… No! It would be great if I did have such abilities."
The Pope said. Pope laughed off like it was a joke but internally he was jealous of such abilities.
Just as Zero thought, the Pope also thought that if he had such abilities, he could have saved many lives and avoided so many casualties.
Anyway, he shook off such thinking and focused on what he has to do.
"She sent a message to us."
The Pope said.
"Message?"
Saintess Amelia was confused. She didn't think that they had any connection with Elves or the Elven prophet.
Most importantly, while not as much as Devil, the relationship between Elves and Humans was not that great.
While Devils are symbolized as being greedy and given all kinds of sinful names by Humans, from Elves perspective, Humans were no different.
Humans are greedy and can betray their own race for their selfishness. Some humans' thirst for blood and powers were greater than even Devils.
So, from their perspective, humans were truly similar to the Devil and someone that they don't want to associate with.
If that were the case, and if the devil were regarded as the sole adversary by every species, Devils would have already become extinct by now, having united with other races. But the reality was Devils and Humans were no different to other species.
"Yes, I was truly surprised by that and it even had the seal of the Elven Royal family embedded with their mana. So, I am sure that it was from Elara."
The Pope continued.
Unlike humans, Elves have kings and queens who rule over their domain. It is not necessary that they were the most powerful of Elves but because of bloodlines that they are allowed to rule the Elves.
Elara is someone who works for the Royal Family, so she would be able to get their seal and mana signature to be sent as the message. And the reason for this was simple, to tell that the message is authenticated.
"The reason why I knew that you all would be alright is because Elara said in the message that the three of you will be alright!"
The Pope said.
"What?"
The Pope's revelation about receiving a message from the Elven prophetess, Elara, left Zero, Saintess Amelia, and Mia astonished.
This revelation truly shook their hearts. They knew that the Elven Prophet could see the future but that was just a rumor and it didn't seem like she could see everything.
The most that they thought that Elara sees are some hints or just some fleeting images of the future. And that also if the user wants to see something.
"How can that be? Does she really see everything that is happening to the world, past, present and future?"
Saintess Amelia asked.
She couldn't believe that there would be someone with such omniscient abilities. If so, then it meant that there was nothing that could hide from her eyes.
"That I don't know. I don't think her abilities are to that extent though it certainly is more powerful than expected."
The Pope replied.
( Even so, it is a really ridiculous abilities! )
Zero thought.
The distance between the Elves Domain and the Sanctum Aurea was very distant and even the fastest messenger would take at least a few weeks before they reached here.
So, that meant that the Elven Prophet had already seen this present, months before that happened and sent a message to the Pope.
And the reason why Pope had believed might also be because he received the message just after the Gate appeared and it also knew that three people were sucked in. The Pope had no choice but to believe in the message.
The message also stated the date that they would appear so the Pope waited for them and it turns out, it was all true. Even he was surprised.
"So, why would they send such a message? I don't think it is just to inform us about our safety, is it?"
Zero asked straightaway.
The revelation about Elara's true power has shocked them but that was not the biggest question. The biggest question was why send the message to the Pope.
Even if Elara had seen their future, why would they go through so much trouble and send a message to the Pope.
"Indeed! The information about your safety is our secondary concern. They have another objective and I hope you three listen to it carefully."
