There were only a few days left before the test was revealed, and Loranhill had been staying in the Emerald Moon Palace, accompanying the Elf Queen Achenvera. However, Westena would go out from time to time to contact some members of the open faction.
"We had some minor issues where someone leaked information to the conservatives."
One evening, Westena came to the Emerald Moon Palace to have dinner with the two of them. While sitting for a while after dinner, she talked about this matter with Loran Hill.
"Is it about the five tests?"
"Yes, they should know by now that we already have the Xunmu Jade Branch and the Cloud-Splitting Beast Horn. Add to that the fact that we can't block the information about the Cold Disaster Solution, and they should already be fully aware of all three pieces of intelligence."
"Although it's just intelligence, it puts us in a passive position. The enemy can choose to focus or use other means based on this information to undermine our victory."
"For this reason, we had to urgently relocate the Xunmu cultivation site over the past two days, and then cut down several jade branches for separate protection."
"With Luo Lan here with the Cloud-Splitting Beast Horn, I'm not worried. But the other party will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Who knows, they might come up with all kinds of unexpected ideas."
"But there's nothing we can do. The intelligence has been leaked. Even if we do have the upper hand, we can only wait and see what the other side does."
The two stood by the fence facing the lake, looking at the dim lights across the lake in the night, talking about some recent events.
"What about the heir of the Duke of Griffin? Has he made any moves recently?" Loran Hill remembered the letter sent to him some time ago, which described the purpose of Jelanen coming to the forest.
The sender did not leave his name directly, only a special symbol. It seemed that he did not want to reveal his identity. But from the words and conversation, Loran Hill could feel that this person must have inquired about his information carefully and was very familiar with his identity, so he made this reminder.
"You mean Jerlann? It's said that after arriving at the Emerald Garden, he stayed at the Gilded Crown and didn't go anywhere else. So far, I've heard that he only visited Sabrina once. Hopefully, he'll be able to attend the upcoming festival."
"It feels strange, doesn't it? Given his status, why would he bother looking for Sabrina? So we speculate that he wants to establish a relationship with the conservatives."
"This is not good news, so we have sent people to closely monitor him. We hope to learn his true intentions as soon as possible."
After Westena finished speaking, she turned around and sat at the small round table by the lake. She picked up the floral dew on the table and poured a cup for herself and Loran Hill respectively, then closed her eyes and drank it in small sips.
"Huh, it feels like a lot of things are going on, but that's normal. After all, the deadline is approaching, and some people will always take desperate measures."
She breathed a sigh of relief before standing up again.
"I'm going back first. I still need to discuss and prepare with the people in the faction tonight. Well, maybe we need to find a new ritual officer to replace her. As for other things, although Aichenweila is the queen, she sometimes gets bored staying in the palace. Right now, I'd like to trouble Rolando to accompany her for a while and comfort her."
"Once this duel is over and everything is settled, things will be easy afterwards." After saying that, the elven sage picked up the light green cloak with gold edges and put it on, hugged Loran Hill, then waved and walked out.
"What a busy person you are." Loranhill watched Westena leave, and slowly drank the slightly sour and sweet icy floral dew before going back.

The next day, the gilded flower crown.
In the morning, after breakfast, Jelann and his companions, or knights, sat around a round table to discuss their future plans.
"Sir, there is an elf waiter outside, saying that he has brought an invitation letter from Lady Sabrina." A White Lion Knight pushed open the heavy door and reported to everyone inside.
"It seems that the lady has made up her mind." Several knights expressed their opinions.
"It seems they are at a considerable disadvantage, so they are so anxious."
"In this way, the second step will go smoothly."
Jelann raised his arm slightly to signal, and the meeting room quickly quieted down. "Send the elf waiter to see me."
"Yes, Your Highness." The knight came to the door, and with the sound of armor rubbing, he soon brought the waiter in light gold clothes over.
The meeting took place in another study. Jelann, wearing comfortable clothes, leaned back in his chair and flipped through a collection of elven poetry. If you looked closely, you would find that the artistic combination of letters on the cover was "Poem of Leaves".
"Your Highness, Jalan." The elf waiter bowed at the door and greeted respectfully.
"Come in."
The waiter then came in and first offered congratulations and compliments before mentioning the purpose of his visit.
"Tomorrow night, a banquet will be held in the Gilded Crown. Madam Sabrina asked me to deliver the invitation. I hope Lord Jelann can attend."
"Many nobles from the forest will be attending this banquet, and we have prepared many programs and delicious food. I believe that Lord Jelann will not be disappointed."
"I see." Jelann nodded slightly, and a squire knight took the invitation letter and placed it carefully on the table.
Then the elf waiter looked up, said some compliments again, and then took his leave.
After the other party left, Jelann used his fingers to tear open the wax on the envelope and pulled out an exquisite invitation with gold-plated prints. It stated the specific location and time of the banquet, as well as some dress suggestions.
"It's time to prepare the next plan."
