Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"Your thoughts are written all over your face."

Stella touched her face: "Am I really that bad at hiding things?"

Hearing her question, the Elf King's lips curved slightly upward: "You never hide your true self from me."

Stella felt a little guilty and covered her face, saying, "I'm going to rest now!"

Watching her departing figure in a hurry, the Elf King didn't forget to say, "Think again if there's anything you want to buy. We can wander around during the day tomorrow, and then we'll go out to sea tonight."

"Go to sea?" Stella peeked through the door, only her eyes peeking out. "Are we going to the Mermaid Tribe?"

The Elf King confirmed her guess: "The Merfolk have sent a message."

“Then we’re going to the bottom of the sea,” Stella flew out again. “King, shall we use magic to get to the underwater city?”

“You’ll find out tomorrow,” the Elf King refused to tell her now.

“Alright then,” Stella said. “I’m really going to rest now. Goodnight, Your Majesty.”

Stella slept very well that night, and even felt a little reluctant to get out of bed when it was time to get up in the morning.

However, Stella still got up to wash up while yawning.

By the time she finished tidying up, Dragon King Savison was already sitting in the living room.

"Little Stella, are you really not coming to Dragon Island with me?"

Stella looked at the Dragon King, who was clearly just teasing her, and said, "If you can persuade the King..."

Savison immediately gave up: "Forget it, I'll invite you all to a banquet I hold on Dragon Island later."

"Now, Thranduil will never allow a goblin cub like you to leave his sight."

Savison muttered under his breath, "How come I never realized before that he was such a responsible guide?"

Stella pretended not to hear what Savison said, looking left and right: "Savison, where is the king?"

“Someone from the dwarves just came by, but he’s gone out,” Savison said. “Come on, he asked me to take you shopping today.”

Dwarves?

Stella was puzzled as to why they had come to her door at this time.

However, the king isn't here right now, so Stella can't possibly know the answer.

"I don't need anything, Savison, do you have anything?"

Of course not, Savison did.

He sat down again: "Then let's stay inside and not go out?"

“I could,” Stella said, her gaze falling on Savison, without finishing her sentence.

Savison understood what she meant, and his lips twitched: "You were so cute when you were little, how come you look more and more like Thranduil now?"

Stella, seemingly oblivious to the hidden meaning in his words, happily exclaimed, "Really? After all, the King is my mentor, so of course I want to learn from him."

"Please, learn something good," Savison slumped onto the sofa. "Fine, let's just go out. If you won't buy it, I will."

Stella was thus taken out by Savison, and she finally witnessed the purchasing power of the Dragon King.

Unsurprisingly, Savison bought only shiny items.

As a dragon king who possesses countless treasures, Savison also has excellent taste. He can tell at a glance whether a gem matches its price and whether the shop owner is trying to rip them off.

With him around, even Stella, who hadn't originally planned to buy anything, picked out some special gems to give to her friends when she got back.

However, after the selection, Savison did not make Stella pay.

"If people find out you came out shopping with me and you had to pay for everything yourself, where would I put my face?"

Stella didn't stand on ceremony with him: "I just picked out a gold crystal, which I originally wanted to give to you. Since you paid for it, I'll make it into an ornament for you when I get back."

Savison hadn't expected this, and by now it was too late to change her mind and ask her to pay for the gem separately.

"Then you'd better make sure it looks good and doesn't lose its luster."

“Don’t worry,” Stella said, “I will show the drawings to Robert after I finish the design before I start working on it.”

With Robert as a design master, his reputation speaks for itself, so there's definitely no problem.

A shopkeeper nearby leaned over and asked, "Are you two talking about the outstanding elven design master, Lord Robert?"

Seeing them nod, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "So you are acquaintances of Lord Robert. May I ask you two to pass on a message to Lord Robert?"

Savison's smile faded, and before Stella could speak, he asked, "What news?"

The shopkeeper wasn't intimidated by his cold expression: "Many years ago, Lord Robert asked us to keep an eye out for a gem. Some time ago, our boss received news that the gem will be auctioned at Roland Auction House in two months."

"Because we don't know when Lord Robert will leave the Elf Forest, our boss has instructed all the shops under his name to keep an eye out for people who can help deliver messages to Lord Robert."

The shopkeeper laughed as he spoke, "Isn't that a coincidence?"

It is indeed a bit of a coincidence.

Stella, with her obvious elfin traits, only came up to ask questions after they mentioned Robert, saying she had a message to pass on.

It's hard not to suspect that there might have been such a thing, but the boss's idea of ​​using Robert as a breakthrough was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

“I see,” Stella said. “Thank you for remembering what you promised Robert decades ago.”

The shopkeeper immediately replied, "No, no, it's alright. I was just following the boss's orders."

After leaving the store, Savison asked, "Stella, are you really going to tell Robert about this?"

Stella nodded: "If Robert really wants that gem, I should definitely tell him now that I know this."

"As for whether he can come out or not, and whether he should go to buy it, that's up to Robert to decide. He's the adult elf."

Savison thought about it and agreed: "I did hear many years ago that Robert was looking for a special gem, but then he returned to the Elf Forest, and I thought he had found it."

Stella shrugged. "I haven't heard of that."

Savison said, "You're so young. You weren't even born when he was looking for the gems, so it's normal that you don't know."

Stella was also a little curious: "Savison, do you know what kind of gemstone it is that Robert has been so obsessed with, searching for it for so long?"

Savison glanced at the bustling street around him and didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he waited until he returned to his room after a day of fun before speaking.

“I don’t know what kind of gem he’s looking for, but I do know that the gem he’s looking for comes from the Dark Land.”

"Little Stella, you should also keep an eye on the elves. Robert is a rather strange elf. He's obsessed with studying things related to darkness, and if it weren't for the fact that his faith is indeed in the God of Light, I would suspect that he has already fallen into the embrace of darkness."

Is this referring to Robert?

Stella was a little suspicious. Could there be two Roberts among the elves?
