Chapter 036: Almost fell on his face
What is the throne?
The throne is the C position!
If he were to sit and dine with the Elf King, wouldn't he become the center of attention again?
Shu Li hesitated while holding the fruit, his heart filled with resistance. He was afraid that he would become too nervous and do something socially disastrous again.
"Go quickly! Look, Ilio is sitting there too." The male elf pointed to the position below the throne.
Ilio is the king's disciple, and Sperion has also been blessed by the king. They should sit together.
Shu Li looked up and saw a black-haired male elf.
Looks a little familiar.
It seemed to be the elf who stood beside the Elf King at the city gate before.
Is his name Ilio?
Shu Li tilted his head and thought about it, feeling that he had heard this name somewhere before.
As if noticing his gaze, the black-haired elf looked over and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
Being caught stealing a peek, Shu Li awkwardly raised the red fruit in her arms to cover her face.
Ilio: ...
This was the second time the cub had avoided him.
Strange, does he have a ferocious face?
Ilio touched his handsome face suspiciously.
Seeing this, Saya, who was sitting near him, asked with concern, "Ilio, do you need a mirror?"
As she spoke, she took out a mirror from her storage bracelet and handed it over.
"Thank you." Ilio calmly lowered his hand from touching his face and declined. "I have my own mirror."
"Okay!" Saya shrugged, put away the mirror, looked around and asked, "Have you seen Sperian?"
After entering the castle, the cubs played everywhere. When it was time for dinner, they started to emerge from the corners. She looked around but couldn't find Sperian.
"There." Ilio pointed his finger, betraying the cub's location without any psychological burden.
Shu Li put down the fruit that was covering his face and was about to persuade the male elf to stay here for dinner when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Sperian, Sperian, your place is over here, come here quickly."
Shu Li looked up when he heard the voice, and saw a red-haired female elf waving at him enthusiastically not far away.
He remembered her.
On the first day of crossing into the other world, it was this "giant woman" who was peeking in front of his flower bud.
He had just woken up and was still confused. By the time he figured out the situation, Elsa had taken over the task of taking care of the cubs and the female elf had left the nursery.
"Saya is calling you, go over quickly!" the male elf urged.
Seeing more and more people looking at him, Shu Li's shame surfaced again, but soon he remembered what Jingjing, the top student, said.
"Elves, like fairies, are very tolerant of young ones, so you don't have to feel embarrassed."
Yes, he is a cub now. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger and does not understand the ways of the world. There is no need for him to worry too much. Being timid would be too pretentious.
After figuring it out, Shu Li stopped resisting.
He put the fruit back on the plate, followed the etiquette taught by Elsa, thanked the male elf, and under the other's gentle gaze, flapped his wings and flew towards the throne.
The male elf sighed as he looked at the cub's receding figure.
A female elf passed by with a fruit plate and noticed that the male elf seemed reluctant to leave. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
The male elf picked up the small red fruit that Shu Li had held, played with it in his palm, and sighed, "The cub is so cute."
He is small, energetic, polite and shy. If I wasn't afraid of scaring him, I really want to rub his little head.
The female elf glanced at the blond cub flying towards the throne and shook her head at the male elf: "Give up!"
Ever since the Elf Tree fell silent, no new cubs have been born to the elves for a long time, which made the elves who used to teach the cubs sigh.
Every Midsummer, when I see the lively and naughty fairy cubs, I can't help but want to kidnap a few and keep them in the fairy kingdom.
The goblins saw through their thoughts and kept a close eye on the cubs. Before returning to the goblin forest, they would check again and again to ensure that no one was left behind.
It's like guarding against elves like a thief.
The elf expressed helplessness.
No matter how much they like them, they will not really kidnap the fairy cubs. They will be satisfied just by looking at them a few more times to satisfy their curiosity.
Alas, I don’t know when the elf tree will bloom and bear fruit again, so that they can satisfy their desire to raise cubs.
Shu Li flew to Sai Ya slowly, but before she could say hello, Sai Ya took out a high-legged plate with a cushion on it.
"Sit here."
Shu Li didn't think much about it, fell into the high-legged plate, and sat down on the soft cushion.
Wow, so comfortable.
He fumbled around curiously, and Saya turned around and put the high-legged plate on the dining table in front of the throne.
"Do you like these fruits and cookies? They are all carefully selected by the king for you." She said with a smile.
Shu Li was stunned.
He didn't expect that Saiya would act so quickly and actually bring him here as a "dish".
Ilio, who was sitting at the foot of the throne, caught sight of the cub's dazed expression and couldn't help but curl his lips.
After a while, Shu Li came back to his senses. His body was stiff and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the Elf King was not on the throne at the moment, otherwise his little heart would always beat uncontrollably when he was looked at by his deep green eyes.
At this time, the dining table in the hall was filled with fairies and elves, who were enjoying the food to their heart's content. The young fairies, whose stomachs had been growling with hunger for a long time, sat at the table of the adult fairies, Elsa, and ate with great relish.
After eating, Dizio burped contentedly. He looked around but couldn't see the boss. He asked in confusion, "Hey, where's Sperian?"
Angel put down his half-eaten cheese bread and shook his head.
They were so hungry just now that they all rushed to the dining table. He thought the boss was feasting with them.
Budno touched his round belly, licked the nectar from the corner of his mouth and said, "I saw Sperian and Kumandi sitting on top of the statue over there, eating lollipops together."
Disceo and Angel immediately looked towards the statue.
There is no one on top of the statue.
"Not here?" Angel asked in confusion.
"Kumandi is over there." Dizio pointed to the next table. He saw a black-haired young elf sitting politely on a cushioned plate, eating fruit slowly.
Sperian was not with him.
The noise of talking and laughing in the hall was so noisy that the conversation between the three little cubs did not attract the attention of the adult goblins.
"Are you full?" Desio asked Budno.
Budno immediately swallowed half the fruit in his hand. "Full...full...burp..."
I'm a little full.
"Let's go find Sperian!" Desio spread his wings and flew into the air.
"Okay!" Angel pulled Budno along.
Budno quickly grabbed a fruit and was dragged upwards.
Adult goblins never restrain their cubs. As long as they are full, they will let them play.
"Desio, don't leave the hall." Aisha reminded.
"Got it." Disio responded.
They only wanted to find Sperian and had no intention of leaving the temple.
The palace was so huge that they searched all around until their wings were tired, but they still couldn't find any trace of Sperion.
Strange, where did the boss go?
"Ah, there!" Budno's sharp eyes discovered that on the dining table in front of the throne sat a blond fairy cub, holding a fruit in his arms and chewing it with relish.
"Sperian~~~"
The three cubs cheered, flapped their wings, and flew over.
When Shu Li was suddenly placed on the dining table by Sai Ya, he felt very reserved and sat obediently on the high-legged tray, not daring to move.
However, no matter how long he waited, the Elf King did not show up. He smelled the fragrance of the food and could not help himself, so he picked up a fruit from the plate next to him and took a big bite.
Hmm~
So delicious!
He had never eaten this fruit before. It should be a specialty of the Elf Kingdom. It is shaped like a strawberry and has no seeds on the surface. When you take a bite, the flesh is delicate and smooth, sweet and sour, and has a strong milky flavor.
He took a bite, then another, and before he knew it, he had eaten half the fruit.
Temporarily alleviating his hunger, he licked the juice from the corner of his lips and looked at the empty throne in confusion.
Doesn't the Elf King eat lunch?
He had clearly been helping to set the table earlier, but when dinner started, he was nowhere to be seen. The other elves seemed used to it, not caring at all about the king's whereabouts, eating and drinking casually.
Since that was the case, he didn't need to be reserved anymore and ate with open arms.
He finished the whole fruit, but still felt unsatisfied, so he picked up another one. Just after he took two bites, he saw three cubs falling from the sky.
"Huh?" Shu Li blinked in surprise.
"Sperian, why are you sitting here?" Budno stood on tiptoe, fiddled with the high-legged tray, and poked the soft cushion with his finger. "Wow, this seems very comfortable to sit on."
Shu Li moved aside and invited him to come up.
Budno didn't hesitate, he pushed himself up with his hands, jumped up and sat next to Shu Li.
The space on the high-legged tray was limited. It was more than enough for one cub to sit on it, and it should have been enough for two cubs to sit on it. However, Budno was a little fat boy, and the size of a little fat boy was larger than that of an average cub. As soon as his chubby little body got closer, Shu Li was squeezed down.
"ah?"
Shu Li, holding the half-eaten fruit, tilted her body and fell off the high-legged plate.
Why hasn't the fat kid lost weight yet? Isn't it just about controlling his food intake?
I was so shocked that I forgot I had wings on my back.
"Sperian!" Discio and Angel were startled and rushed towards him at the same time.
Budno lay beside the plate, holding out his hand, his face flushed.
Just as Shu Li was about to hit the table face down, a fair white hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his little cloak.
"Huh?" Shu Li was hanging in the air, holding half a fruit with difficulty, and turned to look at the elf who saved his life.
It’s the black-haired elf named Ilio!
"Thank you...thank you." His cloak was pulled and strangled his neck, and he thanked him with difficulty.
"You're welcome." Ilio gently put him on the table, glanced at the little fat man climbing down from the high-legged plate, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Such a fat cub.
It's soft and looks like it's easy to pinch.
Thinking of this, Ilio also took action.
As soon as Budno climbed down the stilt platform, he was lifted up by a big hand.
"Ah!" He widened his eyes in surprise, and when he came to his senses, he found himself sitting in the palm of a black-haired elf.
"Hello, my name is Ilio." The black-haired elf introduced himself kindly.
"Hello... hello, my name is Budno." The little fat man responded in a daze.
The next second, his cheeks were rubbed twice by the black-haired elf's fingertips.
"Huh, huh, huh?" Budno sat there motionless, not daring to move.
Ilio wanted to rub and knead the little fat boy in his hands, but he was afraid of hurting the little guy, so he rubbed him a few times and let him go with regret.
Budno returned to the table in a daze, covering his cheeks.
Disio and Angel looked puzzled, but Shu Li stared at the dark-haired elf inexplicably.
Although the little fat boy is round and looks easy to roll, you can’t really roll him like a glutinous rice ball!
Elio calmly sat back in his seat, picked up his wine glass, and asked the cubs at the table calmly, "Are you full? If not, eat quickly, or you won't have time to eat soon."
What does it mean?
Shu Li was confused and subconsciously put the half fruit in his arms into his mouth. After taking a few bites, the elves who were eating in the hall suddenly stood up one after another.
Ilio put down his wine glass, took out a clean white handkerchief, wiped the corner of his mouth, and left the table.
"What are they going to do?" Angel asked.
Shu Li shook his head. He didn't know either.
“Pah pah pah——”
The elves walked to the middle of the hall and clapped their hands in unison. Then, a clear harp sound rang out.
Shu Li's ears twitched and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
Wow wow wow——it sounds so good!!!
This was the most beautiful harp sound he had ever heard, and it shook his soul.
He couldn't wait to spread his wings and fly into the air to find the person playing the piano.
It’s the Elf King!
Shu Li opened his eyes slightly and stared blankly at the blond elf surrounded by many elves.
He was seen sitting gracefully on a chair, holding an elegant golden harp in his arms. His slender fingers slowly stroked the thin strings, creating layers of ripples of starlight. At the same time, music like the sound of nature sounded, a song full of classical charm, like a quietly flowing stream, flowing into the hearts of every listener.
All the elves and fairies were intoxicated by it and couldn't help singing "Song of the Earth" along with the music.
"When the morning star rises
The night stars disappear in the sky
Darkness recedes
The earth welcomes the long-awaited light
The God of Spring brings breeze and drizzle
Moisturizing the dry earth
All things are revived
Great God of the Earth
Hedface L'Overgne
Give us abundant food
Please sing, dance and praise to your heart's content
..."
Elves and fairies are both born singers. It is so moving to hear thousands of people singing together.
The newborn cubs were stunned as they saw such a spectacular scene for the first time.
Shu Li was suspended in the air in a daze, his soul bewitched by the singing and the music, and he fell into a strange state.
The ancient music was melodious, and as I listened, hallucinations appeared before my eyes.
The same magnificent palace, the same dining table filled with food, the same elves singing and dancing, but it was a younger Elf King playing a silver harp.
Shu Li rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he was not dizzy.
"Dixi...ao..." He turned around to talk to his friend, but found that there was no one at the table.
Whether it was Desio, Angel, or Budno, they were all gone.
Shu Li looked down at his hands and found that the half fruit had also disappeared.
So, did he enter the fantasy world again while listening to the music played by the Elf King and the magical elven poems?
After discovering the truth, Shu Li calmed down.
Sit once told him that the illusion was a real past.
In other words, the scene he was seeing now was the Midsummer Day N years ago.
Since the people in the illusion couldn't see him anyway, Shu Li flapped his wings and flew to the center of the hall at will, shuttling between the giant elves and goblins.
However, he soon discovered that these handsome men and beautiful women singing and dancing around the Elf King were all elves, and not a single one was a goblin!
Because they were not wearing swallowtail cloaks.
In this era...are there still no fairies?
