Although Shatas was somewhat displeased by this obvious "deception," given her violent temperament, she also understood that Abner's disguise would indeed make contact easier, so she said nothing more.
Soon, as the "Magpie Bridge" took shape, Abner and Shatas's sharp eyes could already see what lay within the "Hidden Space."
When she saw that so many of her fellow Elves still existed, a smile could not help appearing on Shatas's delicate, softly contoured face.
After several thousand years, she had finally seen her own kind again.
However, Shatas did not take the initiative to enter the "Hidden Space" along the "Magpie Bridge." For one thing, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings; for another, as the envoy of the "Queen of Calamity," they should be the ones to come pay their respects to her.
Thinking so, Shatas secretly glanced at Abner beside her and discovered that he had made the same choice. Only then did she relax.
Though she did not appear particularly respectful toward Abner on the surface, it was a fact that his strength far exceeded hers. Major decisions would still have to be made by this Demigod.
Thus, after the two sides inside and outside the "Hidden Space" observed one another for several minutes, an elderly woman with graying hair, an aged face, and wrinkles layered upon wrinkles approached from the other end of the "Magpie Bridge," leaning on a cane that was clearly a Beyonder item.
Five equally elderly "Elf Singers" followed behind her.
The aura of Decay around these six Elves was dense. Even Shatas, who had yet to obtain Divinity, could sense that these elderly Elves' lives had entered their final countdown and that they could die at any moment.
The elderly woman at the head was naturally Whistling Town's sole Demigod, the "Cataclysmic Interrer," Emily.
