"I have a proposal, Your Majesty."

Hearing someone speak, everyone immediately turned their heads to follow the voice, and then saw an elf in gorgeous and elegant glass armor striding forward, he took off his helmet, revealing a delicate male face, only to see that this elf first saluted the elf queen, and then turned around, looked at the people around him, smiled slightly, and spoke.

"As His Majesty said, tradition needs to be maintained, but we must also admit that in the original rules of the Holy White Valley, humans were not allowed to enter this item, just because it was the holy land of our elven race, and humans rarely came here to make such a request. We can't let that negate this young man's identity and qualifications, but we still have to thank him for daring to confront the Demon Grand Duke and to make our lovely Corinna return safely. And, from this point of view, his character should not be an issue either. ”

Hearing this, Corinna's face became a little strange, she looked at the elf who came out, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw the expressionless Rhodes next to her, Corinna hesitated for a moment, and then closed her mouth helplessly. But no one seemed to care about Corinna's thoughts at the moment, they just looked at the elf who came out to see what he could do to solve the problem. Indeed, as he said, there is no strict prohibition on human beings entering the rules of the Holy White Valley, but for thousands of years, for various reasons, human beings basically do not want to enter a place like the Holy White Valley, so it can be regarded as a default unspoken rule.

But unspoken rules are unspoken rules after all.

"However, we must also admit that just let a human enter the Holy Land. After all, it will still cause a lot of elf dissatisfaction, so I have a proposal. At this, the elf paused, and he glanced meaningfully at Rod, unable to see what he was thinking. But soon, the elf revealed the answer.

"We can determine his qualifications through the sword dance ceremony."

Hearing this, the Elf Queen's eyes flickered, and Rhodes raised his eyebrows, he stared at the elf in front of him who looked no more than thirty years old, and was silent. Although on the surface, he seems to be speaking for Rod, but Rhodes is not the kind of rookie who knows nothing about the customs of the Elven Country. He knows and knows the customs here very well, and the sword dance ritual is a duel ritual in the player's words, but the elven duel is a little less bloody, a little more artistic, and not so deadly. But if you underestimate the sword dance ceremony because of this, you will suffer. The elves who can participate in the sword dance ceremony are not rookies, they are all the most elite swordsmen who have been trained after a lot of hardships and years of training.

And most importantly. The rules of the sword dance ceremony are clearly stated. This is a duel that only elves are qualified to participate in.

Don't look at what this elf said so generously, in other words, I am afraid that other people would have thought that the other party was thinking about themselves, but in Rhodes' sound, this is undoubtedly equivalent to a polite refusal, no matter what, the sword dance ceremony is the pride of the elves' hearts, even if they participated in the sword dance ceremony. At that time, whether you win or lose, it will not be a comfortable thing for the elves. If they lose, then the elves will consider themselves defiled with their sacred rituals, and if they win, the elves will not be happy. Think of yourself as a blow to their pride and dignity. Therefore, although the other party seems to be looking for a reasonable method for himself, Rod knows that this is actually almost like a euphemistic refusal.

"Wait a minute, Lord Dales."

Sure enough, soon an elven mage stood up, he frowned, and looked at the elven knight in front of him with a serious face.

"The sword dance ritual is a noble tradition of our elven clan, and although it is said that there is a reason for this, wouldn't it be too hasty for you to make such a proposal? And............... That's not a good proposition for our guests, is it? ”

"Of course I understand, but this is an extraordinary time, and it is okay to use some special methods once in a while in extraordinary times, besides the sword dance ceremony, is there any other way for us to get the elves to recognize this gentleman for entering the Holy White Valley?"

This elf is also really cunning, as soon as his words came out, he immediately blocked the other people's speech, indeed, the sword dance ceremony is supreme among the elves, and the winner will be respected by the elves, from this point of view, only this ceremony is worthy of this request of Rod. But conversely, it is precisely because of the supremacy of this ritual that the other elves cannot find any alternative.

Seeing this, Rhodes couldn't help frowning slightly, he looked at the elf knight named Dales in front of him, and the other party did not show any embarrassed or dissatisfied expression after perceiving his gaze, on the contrary, he smiled and winked at himself slyly, as if a person was playing tricks on his friend, from his actions, Rhodes couldn't see any hatred and dissatisfaction, on the contrary, it was a little ——— naughty?

What is this, is it a test for me?

Thinking of this, Rod raised his eyebrows, indeed, this is a difficult problem, but he really can't solve it? That could be said.

The elven queen didn't speak, she was still smiling, sitting quietly in her chair, her eyes swept between Dales and Rod, but Corinna was a little nervous, the moon elf girl put her hands on her chest, looking at Dales worriedly, she frowned, wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. As for the other elves, they were also whispering at the moment, discussing whether the elven knight's suggestion was feasible.

But no one expected that at this time, Rod suddenly spoke.

"I thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Darius."

Hearing Rod speak, the elves who had been discussing and thinking looked at him to see what the young man had to say. In the face of everyone's eyes, Rod still did not have the slightest nervousness and embarrassment, and there was still no expression on his face, looking cold.

"I know the sublime significance and status of the Dao Sword Dance Ceremony, and it is not just a test. It is a symbol of the courage and glory of the elves. It was said that it happened suddenly, but as a human being, I am really not suitable to participate in this ceremony. ”

Hearing this, many elves' gazes at Rhodes became much more friendly and softened, after all, Rhodes had already shown his respect for the sword dance ceremony, and he had once again proved that he respected the customs of the elves. Indeed, as Rhodes thought, a large part of the reason why the elves discussed this issue before was that they could not accept Rhodes to participate in the ceremony, because once Rhodes won, then it would mean that he would become one of the most powerful warriors among the elves, but this was originally intended for elves, and Rhodes, as a human, would win if he won............... Although it is said that the elves are peaceful and kind by nature. But I don't necessarily feel very comfortable in my heart for such a thing.

Hearing that Rhodes was on the road like this at this moment, they were naturally not as entangled as they were just now, but Rhodes's words were not finished yet.

"But ............"

Speaking of this, Rhodes changed his words.

"I must say that going to the Vallée de Saint-White is very important to me this time, so I don't want to pass up this opportunity. So, I have a little proposal. ”

said. Rhodes glanced at Darius not far away, and the other man smiled and nodded at him.

"The sword dance ritual proposed by Mr. Dales is indeed a good idea. However, as a human being, I have no way to participate, so I propose that my companions participate in the Sword Dance Ceremony, and if they can win the Sword Dance Ceremony, then I hope that you will allow us to enter the Holy White Valley. ”

Hear here. The elven queen looked at Rhodes with some curiosity, and there was also a little doubt and curiosity on Daries's handsome face.

"Of course, there is no problem, if your companions can really pass the sword dance ritual, then they are the most respected and powerful warriors of the elves. But Mr. Rod, you must also know very well that the sword dance ceremony is a ceremony that only elves can participate in, but ..............." said this, Darius didn't know what Lu Dao was about, and glanced at Corinna. “……… You don't want Corinna to take your place in the Sword Dance ceremony? ”

"Of course not, Mr. Daries."

With that, Rod looked up, and then, he reached out and patted it.

"It's your turn, Greysil, Mardaras."

Hearing Rod's words, the two girls standing beside Rod let out a chuckle like a silver bell, and then the two of them stepped forward half a step at the same time.

And at this time, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed.

When Rod spoke just now, all the elves were very curious, they didn't know who Rod planned to let participate in the sword dance ceremony, but just when they were thinking in their hearts, they only felt a flower in front of them, and then they saw the side of Rod who should have been empty, and suddenly two petite figures wrapped in white robes came out.

“————！！”

This suddenly surprised the elves, and for a while the bowstring sounded, and suddenly several longbows were aimed at Rhodes, and even the elven knights around the elf queen were also unsheathed with long swords, blocking in front of Her Majesty the Queen. As for the other elves, at this time, they also looked at the two petite figures beside Rhodes with a shocked face, dumbfounded.

It's no wonder that these elves reacted so radically, you must know that in the forest of elves, it is not a weak person who can serve the queen's majesty, although Corinna said that she has stepped into the legendary realm, but she is still the weaker one among these elves, it can be said that at this moment, in this temple, except for Rhodes, almost all of them are strong in the legendary realm. This, coupled with the elves' natural keen senses, makes it impossible for anyone here to escape their observation and perception. However, just now, these powerhouses sensed that the truth of the entire world seemed to be completely subverted——— they could be sure that whether it was with their eyes or their breath, there was absolutely no one around Rhodes for a moment, but it was just that moment of effort, these two girls suddenly appeared beside him! This is not a trick, nor is it a teleportation spell, as a race born with high magical power, elves are also very sensitive to the fluctuation of magic, but they can be sure that they absolutely did not perceive any magic fluctuations, even on the bodies of these two girls, they did not perceive ——— no!!

They still didn't notice the existence of these two girls!!

Corinna's hands trembled as she saw two people suddenly appear next to Rod. Instinctively, she raised her longbow and aimed it at the two of them, but soon, Corinna sensed the problem. She aimed, she was sure she had already targeted the two girls, and as soon as she let go, the arrow of light could pierce her body. But. She couldn't lock the breath of these two girls! She couldn't even tell if they were alive or dead, and although she watched them stand there, everything else indicated that those two girls didn't exist in this world at all!

No, even the eyes can't be trusted, Corinna even has the illusion that as long as she is slightly stunned, or relaxed for a moment, then these two figures will disappear completely. Gone. She could only keep her eyes open and stare at the two of them, and Corinna felt like she had never been in such pain, as if she were chasing two illusory, non-existent phantoms, exhausted.

The reaction of the elves was exaggerated, but the most exaggerated was the Elven Queen, the Queen who had been very calm before. After seeing the two girls, his face changed greatly, and he stood up suddenly. For the first time, her elegant, holy, pretty face was so white, she stared at the two girls, then opened her mouth and whispered to herself.

"Calesdu Hotaru ....................."

Muttering to herself, the Queen looked at Rhodes, and for the first time she restrained a gentle smile on her face. It became serious.

"Mr. Rhodes, I respect you as a guest, but............ It's not funny at all, you know what I mean? ”

"Of course I understand, Your Majesty."

Rod shrugged. Spread your hands.

"But I can assure you that this is no joke, and that is the main reason why I have come to the Elven Forest this time in the hope of entering the Holy White Valley. I think by now, you should be able to understand what I mean. ”

By this time Gresil and Madaras had lifted their hoods to reveal their hidden faces, and then everyone saw their long white hair, delicate, snow-white skin, golden eyes, slender ears, and intricate patterns that stretched from the edge of their cheeks to their necks.

And after seeing the true faces of these two girls, several elves suddenly changed their faces.

"It's ............ White elves? The Holy Soul is here! Are they really white elves?! ”

Among the elves, there are many branches, some of them existed a long time ago, and some of them were mutated due to some unexpected events, just like the alchemy elves and black elves of the Belchemus clan are the products of the creation war. Before that, the elven race had also undergone two differentiations, one was at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, when the world was just formed, the elf clan produced several branches, I don't know what reason, they left the main plane and became the inhabitants of the elemental plane. The sea elves summoned by Rhodes belong to one of the ancient remnants of the elf family, in addition to the sea elves, there are also fire elves, wind elves and earth elves, but these four branches are the products of the elemental plane, and there is little connection with the elves of the main plane now. As for the black elves and their distant relatives, there is a feud that cannot be resolved. And Belchemus is basically extinct, and because of this, in addition to the black elves and alchemy elves, the main composition of the elves on the continent is the wood elves, the moon elves and the high elves. Among them, the Tall Elves and Moon Elves are remnants of the Ancient Creation Era, while the Wood Elves are a branch that reappeared after this.

However, above them, there is another race, and that is the White Elves.

It is rumored that the White Elves are the real royal family of the Elven Clan, and according to the bloodline, they are the regular rulers of the Elven Clan, but after the Creation War, the White Elves basically died, and because of this, the White Elves' relatives, the High Elves, took over the ruling power of the Elves Clan. The Moon Elves are generally responsible for assisting and serving the royal family, and the Wood Elves are basically the people of the Elven Country.

It's like in the current elven country, Her Majesty the Queen is naturally a high elf family, and Corinna is a moon elf. It's such a difference, but the elves are naturally beautiful, and the three races are not much different in appearance, only the color of their eyes and skin and hair. However, no matter what race of elves they are, their eyes are all dark-colored, with the exception of the royal white elves, because it is rumored that the white elves are the first elven race created by the creation dragon soul according to their own image, so only their eyes are golden like the creation dragon soul.

The appearance of the two girls was like two bombs thrown into a pool, which immediately caused a huge wave, and even those elves who had lived white for thousands of years could not maintain their composure at this moment. After all, these two girls' strange and terrifying abilities are really chilling - no one was aware of them before they appeared, which means that even if these two girls walked in front of Her Majesty the Queen and attacked her, they and others would not be able to react. Moreover, the identity of their white elf royal family is also even more shocking, the white elves have disappeared on this continent for thousands of years, and even among the elves who have a long lifespan, they have long become legends, and now, the legend has reappeared and become a reality, no wonder these elves are so excited.

There are also some elves who look at Her Majesty the Queen with great confusion, in their impression, Her Majesty the Queen is a person who is moody and temperamental, and very gentle and peaceful, who can make her react so much, what is the origin of those two girls?

At this moment, the elf queen also seemed to notice her gaffe, she sat down again, and at the same time stretched out her hand, signaling the other elves around her not to be so nervous, and then, the elf queen reached out and gently combed her hair, and then looked at Rhodes with a somewhat complicated expression.

"I see, Mr. Rod, if I had doubts about your request, now I can understand the reason for your request to enter the Holy White Valley..............."

Saying this, the elf queen paused, she looked at the two girls with a somewhat complicated expression, and after a while, she sighed slightly.

"So, I agreed to your proposal, Mr. Rod, please go and rest first, and we will choose the opponent of the Sword Dance Ceremony as soon as possible."

Then, the elven queen made a quiet decision. (To be continued.) )
