That day nothing unexpected happened, the dark elves did a good job and no one pursued us. They even came with some false IDs to let us get a smooth trip.
'
If we ran with our speed we would arrive in one day or two but with this carriage it will at least take two week. and I wanted to use this time to explore the space in my soul and that entity and also explore the world's knowledge.
And I wanted to know every of my new subordinate with their specialty to better use them in the future. Ebony? she already began to study the art of the perfect secretary. She has already began to change, her demeanor is not the same from a wild girl to seductive woman yet strong. She knew a qualitative change that I found suiting her appearance very much. She no longer display her innocent look everytime. She is Ebony 2.0 .
Now time to 'study'.
( Dara the Crimson lightning formerly Dara Anderton. Age 21. race Crimson Draconic human F. affinity Fire wind lightning. Early high mortal. A dragon knight under Dayan Revlon,she has total devotion to her master. specialize in double wielding of long swords, very experienced in combat and slightly experienced in planning, has great comprehensive talent only limited by her human body but now with her dragon bloodline her future achievements will be unlimited.)
After knowing this Dayan was a little shocked because Dara was no longer human but a Dragon related species, the system didn't give any notification after having a subordinate so he didn't check, now he found something interesting.
Now that he remembers he checked also on Ebony to.
( Ebony of the darkest night. age 15. race Shadow Dragon F. Affinity shadow wind earth. Mid high Mortal. The first Dragon knight under Dayan Revlon, specialize in swift, high speed attacks, and ambushes, she has the great talent of Dragons due to her completely accepting the dragon bloodline and abandon her shadow great wolf bloodline, she has total devotion to her master, actually practicing 'the art of the perfect secretary'.)
Hmm Ebony is totally a Dragon unlike Dara who is a mix, so my 'blessing' can transform my subordinate into real Dragons as long as they accept. And their Dragon bloodline seems to be influenced by their ancient affinity.
it was not really common to see people with three affinities. Because natives has only one or two, I think it's due to their new bloodline.
So I continued to 'study' my subordinates, and found that the Dark elves were really interesting but there were only four who took my attention and the strongest is the expected Lelenia.
( Lelenia Tarsis. age 545. race dark elf F. Affinity shadow ice. early high mortal. Hate Dayan Revlon resent the Magus tower. a master assassin at the threshold to enter the realm of expert assassin. She is an all-rounder who is well balanced. but unfortunately she has reached her peak in life and will never go past it.)
She was a good candidate to be the third knight, but Dayan could understand why she hated him so much but he didn't care because with the effect of the blessing 'dragon knight' she will most likely become loyal to him.
But before that.
(Alson Tarsis, age 432. race dark elf M. affinity shadow earth. late mid mortal. Hate Dayan Revlon resent the Magus tower. specialize in great sword and direct attacks.has reached peak of the race.)
(Sariel Tarsis, age 512. race dark elf F. affinity shadow light. late mid mortal realm. Hate Dayan Revlon resent the Magus tower. Specialize in daggers, healing and support . has reached peak of the race.)
(Silenna Tarsis, age 499. race Dark elf F. affinity shadow water. high mid mortal. Hate Dayan Revlon resent the Magus tower. specialize in covert mission and spying. has reached peak of the race.)
Those three special. The Alson guy was very strong physically, he was tall at least 200cm and had buffed muscles. He had a serious face but I could easily see his resentment for me.
Sariel was not so remarkable physically, she was lean and tall, a little curvaceous , and have big eyes which could not hide her hate . And Silenna her was a really sexy woman there was nothing to add but she had a neutral face and I could not feel her animosity she was really good at hiding it.
Those were decided to become Dragon knights. For the others they were normal Dark elves with only one affinity and normal fighting style of assassins but after a few times to think I decided to make all of them as my dragon knight as they would help in solidifying the foundation of my organisation to be.
So I decided to make ceremony for this.

It has been a day since we left white cristal town and we have not taken any pause. The horses are too tired, even though they are special horses. They are lightning horses, they look like normal ones but they are at the early champion realm. we took them in the stable of the city lord. This city lord might have a great background to be able to keep such powerful beast.
Those lightning horses are strong and often used for battle not for long distance travel, but the 'man' was the one who wanted them so we took them anyway. we encountered a few smart people who knew those horses value, they tried to ambush us but they died mercilessly.
This mysterious man seems to not be affiliated with the Magus tower as we formerly thought because all the people we killed were backed by the Magus tower.
Whatever we are bound to him now.
Suddenly the woman with fiery red hair stoped the carriage and descended, she asked us to form a line and she waited for the mysterious man to come.
When he descendend the carriage I had chill run down my spine. That was then that I realised I was afraid of him. he walked toward us calmly with his silver eyes very cold. when he stoped he looked at us, but with the difference in height we dark elves who had never had height complex felt very short in front of him.
" Dark elves. You did a good job in whitecrystal city. I will present my self, although I won't allow you to call my name but you can refer to me as 'cipher' ..." even though he wasn't arrogant or abusing us we didn't feel happy at all. ''...I know what all of are feeling right now, hate, helplessness, surprise... and doubts...'' he said while pointing at each of us and finally pointing at me, I was shocked that this man could read the emotions of us specialized assassin.
This man was a formidable being."... you do not have to put much thought on how I knew only remember that I know. So let's get to the business. Today I decided to add you officially to my forces. Now kneel.'' we all kneeled down immediately. then the mysterious man proceeded with putting his blood on our forehead. but the scene that followed left me utterly shocked.
"Now rise my new Dragon knights. The shadow knight corps"
