Chapter 679: A Guide of Fate
The elves' rooms weren't much better than Jenny had hoped, with no floor-to-ceiling windows, no free breakfast, and no feast. A hut made of vines and branches is the best treat, and according to Orphin, this room is dedicated to heroes and powerful people who have made great contributions to the elves. Of course, for now, Jenny didn't see anything unique about this room. But the only thing that satisfies her is the hot springs that flow from the sacred mountain -- the elves use hollow bamboo to connect them into pipes, bringing steaming hot spring water into the baths, which gives people a comfortable feeling. After a long day's journey, it's also a good idea to take a hot shower to get rid of the tiredness of your body. And from the window, you can also see the beautiful scenery of the entire Heart of Tree City.
Well, at least there are twenty-four hours of hot water, and countless elf beauties are eye-catching, and they can barely get by.
"Windrunner, Mother invites you to a banquet in the evening!"
Just as Jenny was taking a closer look at the scenery in front of her and comparing it to the five-star hotel she remembered, Orphin jumped in. Perhaps because she had returned to her familiar territory, the elf girl who seemed a little taciturn on the road became lively and cheerful again.
"Please tell Her Majesty that I will be on time."
Hearing Orfen's message, Jenny responded with a smile. Then she blinked, glanced out the window at the huge tree, and then turned her head. Until this time. Jenny realized that Orphin was standing beside her. Look at yourself with wide eyes.
"Your Royal Highness, is there anything else you have to do?"
"Nope. Nothing ......... happened."
Hearing Jenny's inquiry, Orphin couldn't help but blush slightly, and then lowered her head to answer. But after a moment's hesitation, she spoke.
"That......... I'm sorry, Lord Windranger........."
"Huh?"
"That's right, just now I told my mother about what happened to you, and my mother criticized me, saying that it is the most painful memory of a person, and it should not be used as a conversation to talk and pass the time........."
"It's nothing. Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Hearing Orfen's words, Jenny smiled and waved her hand.
"Perhaps for those who have never set foot in the shadows, this is indeed unimaginable suffering. But in fact, when you get used to it, you will find that it is far from being as scary as you think, indeed, there is a terrible side in the dark region, but at the same time there is a beautiful side. In fact, you can see things that are completely impossible to see anywhere else, even on the surface. ”
"Really?"
Hearing this, Orfen's eyes flickered again. She looked at Jenn curiously, with obvious excitement and curiosity on her face. Seeing Alfen's expression, Jenny then spoke.
"Indeed, it is like being in the middle of a dark place. There are mushrooms that are as tall as trees and glow, and they grow in the depths of deep caverns. Mushroom forests have been formed. And in the mushroom forest here, there is also a creature called Tan Fungus Man..............."
The Elven Queen withdrew her gaze. No longer pay attention to the daughter in the distance. She sat back in her chair and closed her eyes. Then open it again.
"What do you think? High Priest? ”
"I'm not sure, Your Majesty."
Standing opposite the Elven Queen was a male elf wrapped in robes, his face wrinkled and drooping from old age. If this happens to humans, that's a normal thing. But appearing in the face of an elf is not so simple. Even if an ordinary elf has lived for a long enough time, it is impossible for them to appear too old on the surface. And if an elf looks very old, then it means that the other person must have lived beyond imagination.
"That star light is indeed a magic weapon possessed by the Dryes tribe, and the Dryes tribe was indeed destroyed by the attack of those dark elves forty years ago. At that time, I personally led the rescue team, and even now that I look back, it was a nightmare. ”
Thinking back to the past, the high priest couldn't help but sigh.
"We didn't find any survivors at the time, which was normal, the dark elves were cruel and we got the call for help too late. By the time we arrived, the entire tribe had been destroyed, and all that remained was charred wreckage. In that case, we can't be sure if there are survivors, if there are........."
Saying this, the high priest's face changed slightly.
"Then I have to admit that that little guy will become a great hero of the elves."
"yes..............."
Hearing the high priest's answer, the elf queen also nodded with feeling.
"Even I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay there if I'm alone and go to the Dark Regions. However, I just cast a prophetic spell..............."
"Oh?"
The High Priest was not surprised by the Elven Queen's words. The Elven Queen's prophetic abilities are a guarantee that the entire Elven Race will survive to this day. Her eyes that see through fate can always find the only way out for the elves in the most difficult times. Although Jenny did save Alfen's life, and she is also an elf. However, her unique origin still made Her Majesty feel a little worried, so it was only natural that she would use a prophetic spell to seek results.
"How's it going?"
"It's hard to say that the fate of our friends is as unpredictable as a fog. The only thing I know for sure is that her arrival will bring about a change in our elves that we didn't expect. And as for whether this change is good or bad, so far we don't know anything about it. Instead, the artifact gave me more information -- it did come from a dark elf city, and if my prophecy spell was correct, that city had been completely destroyed. ”
“……………”
Hearing this, the High Priest's eyes widened in surprise, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in those deep, pool-like eyes. It is no wonder that Her Majesty seemed so uncertain, knowing that if her news was true, then it meant that the destruction of the dark elven city was inextricably linked to the elven ranger named Jenny—otherwise, the light of the stars would not have fallen into her hands. After all, the nature of the prophecy spell is that it only shows the part that is related to the caster, and if the destruction of the dark elf city has nothing to do with Jenny, then the elf queen will naturally not see it. So she was able to see the destruction of the dark elf city, which meant that it had something to do with Jenny.
Jenny naturally expected this, in fact, he never worried about his true identity being exposed. Due to the special environment of the Dark Regions, the effects of all spells will be greatly weakened, even if they are prophecy spells. And Jenny was sure that if someone tried to use the power of prophecy to investigate deeply, he would be attacked by a storm. After all, in the realm of fate, Nabelius is the expert. And if she finds out about the possibility of her fate being spied on, it is difficult to say what means the little one will use to punish those disobedient intruders.
So, what was your decision? Her Majesty? ”
"In any case, we don't have a choice."
As she spoke, the Elf Queen frowned and said with a solemn expression.
"This plague is a terrible disaster for us elves, and we are not just facing enemies who will stand out before us. Sickness is everywhere, and in fact there are not enough truly powerful warriors in the heart of the tree right now. I have to admit that I was so relieved to know that such a strong man was here to help us. ”
Saying this, the Elven Queen smiled. In fact, Alphen didn't know that the current situation in the Elven Forest was far more difficult than what she had seen. As the Elven Queen said, if their enemies are only attacking head-on, then the elves still have the strength to fight. But in the face of the almost pervasive devil of the plague, the elves can actually do very little. During this time, not only was the Elven Forest attacked by the plague, but even the Treants and some beast tribes had to choose to migrate because of this terrible plague. There are also some beast races that were once friendly with the elven kingdom, and they have even been completely destroyed in this terrible plague. Because of this, at that time, she would send her daughter and the number one warrior of the Elven Kingdom deep into the plague to find its roots. But I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, if it weren't for the appearance of that distinguished guest, I'm afraid she would have lost the daughter she loved so much.
"And, to hear from my lovely daughter, she also has a beautiful unicorn. Perhaps, this guest is the messenger who has been guided by the goddess to help us destroy the disaster. ”
Hearing the Elven Queen's words, the High Priest didn't show any special expression, just nodded.
"So, Your Majesty, you've decided?"
"So far, I'm afraid that's all I can do."
As she spoke, the Elven Queen stood up.
"The next thing is to see what choice our guests make."
With that, the Elven Queen turned around and left the room. (To be continued.) )
