Summary: Chapter — Church of Elleh

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Lucian encounters Varre, a masked recruiter for the Blood Dynasty. Lucian recognizes Varre's scheme: Varre uses Stormveil Castle to test Tarnished who lack Maidens and cannot see Grace, then recruits the strongest as Blood Knights. Lucian recognizes his own situation fits this profile.
• Rather than killing Varre on the spot, Lucian decides to play along — he plans to use Varre as a doorway into the Blood Dynasty, at which point he'll kill him for his "loose tongue." He pretends to be uncertain and follows Varre's directions.
• Lucian travels across the hills toward the Church of Elleh, guided by Grace.
• En route, he encounters the Tree Sentinel, a powerful field boss on a massive armored horse. Lucian hides in bushes and studies its patrol route, knowing he cannot defeat it and must preserve his rare cheat ability, Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, for main-story bosses holding Great Runes.
• After roughly an hour of observation (during which he eats his unappetizing, seawater-soaked dried meat), he maps the Tree Sentinel's patrol: a large route taking over half an hour round-trip, with one side (the roadless left area) never patrolled. He times his escape and successfully reaches the Church of Elleh.
• At the ruined church, he meets Kale, a merchant with a donkey and a campfire. Lucian confirms the Tree Sentinel won't enter the church, then trades with Kale, purchasing a torch, a Telescope, a Crafting Kit, and two crafting notes left by wandering warriors.
