Chapter 153 Looking for the Elf King
How could the mother tree not notice the Elf King's frail appearance?
"Fris, did you use your soul power?"
Could it be that Sperian encountered danger while exploring the underground palace?
But when he returned with the Fire Spirit and the Fire Dragon Lizard, he was unharmed and told her about his adventure without mentioning any danger.
etc--
The mother tree suddenly remembered that the small crown on Sperian's head was in its original form.
As the fairy grew older, she found the tiara too conspicuous, so she transformed it into various ornaments every day. She remembered that before Sperian entered the underground palace, the tiara was a silver hairpin.
Because she had been waiting for too long, she was extremely anxious. When she saw the little fairy coming back, she was so happy that she ignored the shape of the little corolla.
It was obvious that Sperian was hiding something from her.
Now seeing the Elf King being attacked by the power of the soul, the Mother Tree has guessed it.
During the expedition, Sperien's life was threatened. To protect him, Crown of Flowers revealed his true form and summoned the Elf King.
However, the underground palace is tens of thousands of miles away from the Elf Kingdom. If the Elf King wants to get there as quickly as possible, he can only use the power of his soul to travel through the void.
Although the power of the soul is easy to use, the backlash is extremely painful, like a sharp knife, cutting and tearing repeatedly, and the pain is everywhere. There is no way to relieve it except to rely on strong willpower to endure it.
In other words, from the time Sperien left the underground palace to the time he stole the fruit from Vanaku, the Elf King had been suffering from the backlash.
"Fris...you..."
The mother tree didn't know how to comfort him. There were some pains that no one else could share with him, and he had to endure it by himself.
The Elf King cast a cleansing spell on himself, regaining his freshness, and even the wrinkles on his clothes disappeared.
He stood up and said calmly: "I met Miroka."
"Miloka... the God of Darkness?" the mother tree asked in surprise. "How could that be? I didn't encounter him during my previous trip to the underground palace..."
No wonder the king had to use the power of his soul.
The Elf King stood in front of the window and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky. His sculptured face looked even more three-dimensional and holy under the silver light.
"His true body is still in hell, and what appeared is a fragment of his spirit."
The mother tree frowned slightly. "It seems... I must speed up the purification process."
However, this also raises the stakes for Sperian.
"No need." The Elf King withdrew his gaze, turned away from the window, and walked out the door. "Let everything take its course."
The mother tree looked at his back in silence.
There's nothing they can do to change it except let it be.
Night, quiet.
Shu Li had a good sleep and woke up at only eight o'clock in the morning.
Looking at the hourglass clock by the bed, he scratched his sleep-tangled hair. He was clearly exhausted physically and mentally at night, but surprisingly, he slept well and woke up on time according to his biological clock.
He lifted the quilt, flapped his wings, and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a round ball at the end of the bed.
Eh——
Farm?
How did it end up on his bed?
Shu Li looked down at the back of his hand, full of suspicion.
How could the little monster come out on its own without his permission?
What about the Fire Spirit?
Did he also leave the Seal of the God of Fire?
When did it happen? He was so sound asleep that he didn't know anything.
Shu Li flew to the little monster and saw that it was sleeping soundly, with its saliva dripping and wetting the sheets. Veins popped out on his forehead and he could no longer bear it.
"Farm!"
He shouted into the little monster's ear.
Farm suddenly woke up, jumped up, flapped his bat wings, and looked around in panic: "Who? Who is calling me?"
Shu Li folded his arms, suspended in the air, watching its clumsy acting.
Seeing that no one responded to it, Farm shouted for a while, but felt it was boring. Its golden eyes rolled around and it faced the goblin with a guilty conscience.
"Good... good morning, haha..." It waved its fat and short forelimbs.
"Good morning." Shu Li asked with a bright smile, "Did you sleep well?"
"It smells so good!" Farm nodded contentedly. The bed was so soft, the quilt so fragrant, so much more comfortable than the cold, hard floor of the underground palace.
"Really?" Shu Li pointed at the suspicious water stain on the quilt and asked, "Is this your saliva?"
"Uh!" Farm blinked innocently, not knowing where to put his short forelimbs.
Shu Li said, "Before I come out after washing up, find a way to clean yourself!"
He released his original power, grew in size, walked into the bathroom, and took care of himself.
Farm heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, looked at the water stains on the quilt, wagged his tail and thought for a while, then opened his mouth and blew out a small fire, trying to dry the quilt with high temperature.
However, given its level, the so-called small fire was no different from a big fire. The flames shot out of its mouth and instantly burned the quilt. It was shocked, put away the flames, jumped onto the quilt and rolled several times in an attempt to put out the fire.
Shu Li was halfway through brushing his teeth when he smelled something burning. He sniffed in confusion and followed the smell out of the bathroom. When he saw the burning quilt, he was horrified. He quickly raised his toothbrush and chanted a water ball spell, spraying a mouthful of foam.
A huge ball of water hit the bed, extinguishing the fire on the quilt and soaking Farm.
Shu Li stood at the bathroom door in shock, looking at the smoking bed with tears in her eyes.
Finished!
Saya will kill him!
Woo woo woo——
Although Sai Ya is gentle and kind, she is very strict with the little elves' daily life. Once they can take care of themselves, she no longer helps clean the room, but will come to check every day. If the hygiene is not up to standard or if they have damaged things in the room, she will punish the little elves with a smile and make them do the most tiring and heaviest work.
Shu Li held her cheeks, already imagining herself being sent to the ranch to clean up the feces of the deer milk.
Oh! No!
What made him angry was that the culprit looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes, not realizing that he had done anything wrong.
"Um... I just wanted to use the fire to warm the quilt, but I couldn't control the fire, ahaha——"
Farm showed a row of sharp teeth in embarrassment.
Shu Li sighed, feeling that he was also wrong.
He shouldn't let a magical beast that has been in the underground palace for ten thousand years deal with such matters.
He returned to the bathroom dejectedly, washed quickly, tied his hair, and turned the small flower crown into a hairpin. He came to the bed, took out his magic wand, and cast various spells to save the wet and burnt bed.
Wood magic, water magic, and wind magic were cast alternately, which surprised Farm.
The little goblin can actually use multiple types of magic?
That’s awesome!
After more than ten minutes, Shu Li put down his magic wand and the conversation came to a temporary halt.
Except for a few large holes in the quilt that could not be repaired, everything else was restored to its original state, even the black spots from smoke at the end of the bed were removed.
He found a new sheet in the cabinet in the room, changed it, and stuffed the torn sheet into his storage ring to destroy the body.
Very good, no flaws.
Shu Li clapped his hands and looked at the little monster squatting at the head of the bed and fingering it boredly, feeling a little headache.
How should he explain its origin to his friends and the elves?
"You first enter my Seal of the God of Fire." He raised his right hand.
"Why?" Farm asked.
It had finally left the underground palace, so of course it wanted to play around. Why would it be willing to stay in the Seal of the God of Fire and be bored?
"I'll let you out after I return to the Fairy Forest. Then you can go wherever you want and I won't stop you." Shu Li pointed at the bed and looked at it with raised eyebrows.
Farm knew he was in the wrong, so he reluctantly turned into a ray of light and entered the fire totem.
Shu Li watched the totem disappear, straightened his new clothes, and prepared to go out.
If you are lucky, you will meet the Elf King when you go to the restaurant.
He opened the door and walked into the corridor, only to find that his friends' room doors were closed, probably still sleeping.
They slept too late yesterday waiting for him, so it's normal that they can't get up now.
Shu Li walked lightly and quickly towards the restaurant. All the elves he met on the way greeted him enthusiastically.
"good morning--"
Shu Li responded one by one. He always felt that the elves looked at him with unusually hot eyes today, and some even wanted to reach out and touch his head.
Of course he dodged it.
I can’t let them mess up my hair that I have combed with great difficulty.
Stepping into the restaurant, he looked around and didn't see the Elf King, and his face was full of disappointment.
"Good morning, Sperian. Are you hungry?" Saiya brought a sumptuous breakfast and placed it on the table. "Eat quickly!"
"Oh, okay, thank you." Shu Li sat down, wiped his hands with a towel, picked up a fruit and asked, "Saya, has the king had breakfast?"
Saiya smiled and replied, "I ate it an hour ago."
"Oh." Shu Li took a bite of the juicy fruit in frustration. She had woken up late and missed dinner time with Wang.
"By the way, where are Angel and the others?" Saya asked.
"Well, they studied too late last night...so they are still sleeping now..." Shu Li covered up for her friends.
"Is that so?" Saiya blinked.
Shu Li also blinked.
In fact, he felt that Saya definitely knew what happened last night. Everyone knew it, but she didn't point it out, and he didn't say it either.
Sai Ya smiled and gave him a hint: "Wang should go see Dan Luofu."
Today is the third day of the Dharma Saint’s meditation. Whether or not one can become a Dharma God depends on today’s results.
"Thank you!" Shu Li grabbed the fruit and ate it left and right, speeding up his eating.
After finishing breakfast, he wiped the corners of his mouth, left the restaurant contentedly, and ran towards the library.
Ilio saw the elf passing by hurriedly, stretched out his long arm, grabbed his cloak, lifted it up slightly, and the elf was lifted into the air.
"Oh my, Ilio, let me go!" Shu Li kicked his legs that were hanging in the air.
"Where are you going so fast?" Ilio put him down and stared at him with his bright blue eyes.
"Let's go to the library!" Shu Li adjusted his cloak. "Isn't today the third day of Danlov's meditation? I want to go and take a look."
Of course, he didn't say his real purpose.
"Are you going to the library too?" he asked.
"That's right." Ilio taught the little elf on the spot, "No matter how anxious you are, you must not lose the elegance of the Son of Light."
"Oh~~" Shu Li took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and made an invitation gesture, "Let's go together!"
Ilio smiled and walked at a leisurely pace, side by side with the goblin.
On the way, they met many elves, all of whom were going to the library to read Danlov.
The first human god of law in ten thousand years, worthy of admiration.
Shu Li appeared calm on the surface but was anxious on the inside. He finally arrived at the library and found a row of elves standing inside.
He stood on tiptoe and looked.
There are many blond elves, but none of them is the Elf King.
He walked in unbelievingly and looked around, but did not see the Elf King.
"Sperian——" Danlov called affectionately when he saw the little elf.
Upon hearing this, Shu Li turned around and looked at the new God of Magic who was surrounded and congratulated by the elves.
Three days of meditation not only did not make him look decadent, but instead he became radiant and exuded a holy aura. Even his appearance had changed, becoming more youthful and handsome.
Shu Li stepped forward and saluted him: "Dan Luofu, congratulations on your promotion to the God of Law."
Danlov nodded in return, smiling amiably, "I have to thank you for helping me break through my bottleneck and level up."
Shu Li was stunned: "Thank me?"
He didn't help much, at most he just listened to Danlov talk about his past glorious deeds.
Danlov said, "Yes, thanks to you four little goblins, I have regained my original faith."
Leaving the Fairy Forest and stepping into the human world, he was full of ambition and decided to do something great to relieve the Elf King's worries and troubles.
However, such belief was wasted over the long years and gradually faded. He spoke high-sounding words, but in fact he was content with the status quo, stagnant, and had long lost the fighting spirit.
While teaching the little goblin, he recalled every bit of the past, thought of his former ideals, and began to reflect on himself.
That lesson was clearly taught to myself.
Once you figure it out, the bottleneck will break through, your state of mind will change, and your level will naturally improve.
At that moment, Danlov finally understood the Elf King's intention.
Stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, enjoy the tranquility of nature, relax your body, listen to your heart, and find your true self.
Fairies and elves are indeed children of light, pure and transparent, and the most beautiful beings in the world.
Danlov put his right hand on his chest and thanked the little demon again.
Being thanked by the only human god of law, Shu Li was flattered and shook his head repeatedly: "No thanks, no thanks! I really didn't help much-"
The elves around him smiled kindly, and Ilio held down the uncomfortable little elf.
"Don't be nervous. Accepting others' gratitude calmly is also a form of courtesy."
Shu Li calmed himself down and stopped refusing. After Danlov thanked him, he hesitantly said, "If you must thank me, then... could you write me a letter of recommendation for the magic academy?"
Danlov readily responded, "Of course."
If he remembered correctly, the little guy already had a letter of recommendation.
Shu Li beamed. "Great! The recommended candidate is Kumandi, a senior wind mage."
This was a rare opportunity, so he asked Jingjing, a top student, for a letter of recommendation from the God of Law, which would save him a lot of trouble when he went out to gain experience in the future.
Danlov was surprised.
Wasn't it for yourself?
"I'll write the recommendation letter later, okay?" Danlov asked.
"No problem!" Shu Li nodded. "By the way, um... isn't the king here?"
Sia said the king was in the library, but a group of elves came, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Shouldn't I come over to congratulate the eldest disciple for breaking through to become a Dharma God?
"The teacher was here just now," Danlov said, "but he left for something before you came."
Shu Li couldn't help but puff out his cheeks.
Another step slower!
"Did he say where he was going?" Shu Li asked.
Danlov shook his head: "No."
Shu Li asked the other elves, "Do you know?"
The other elves all expressed confusion.
Shu Li suddenly became worried. How could he ask Wang questions if he couldn't find him?
Ilio flicked the elf's forehead with his finger. "Why, do you have something important to discuss with the king?"
Shu Li covered her forehead and glared at him: "Yes, it's something very important."
Elio raised his lips and said with a smile, "Maybe in the Elf Cubs Courtyard. I heard that the mother tree has grown a very large fruit today, so everyone went to see it."
"Huh, huh, huh?" Shu Li was dumbfounded.
When he got up, he didn't see anyone in the yard!
Shu Li couldn't wait any longer, so he said hello to Danlov and the elves, and hurriedly left the library. He felt that walking was too slow, so he spread the wings behind him and flew from the air to the elf cub courtyard.
Garrot glanced at Ilio and said, "No wonder the goblins want to hide when they see you."
If you always tease children, sooner or later you will be disliked by all the little goblins.
Ilio spread his hands and said, "I didn't lie to him. The king did see the new fruit of the mother tree."
But it was two hours ago.
Garrot shook his head, unable to do anything about him.
Shu Li flew to the courtyard where the mother tree was as fast as he could, and sure enough, he found many elves standing in front of the mother tree, pointing at fruit number three and talking about it.
Angel, Discio and Budno were probably woken up and kept circling around fruit number three.
Shu Li folded his wings, landed lightly on the ground, and looked around for the Elf King.
To his disappointment again, the Elf King was still not there!
"Why did the mother tree suddenly grow a big fruit?" The elf next to him seemed to say this deliberately for him to hear and start a discussion.
"Yes, why are the newly grown fruits almost the same size as the forty-year-old fruits?"
"Could something have gone wrong?"
"The other seven fruits developed normally."
“This one isn’t even the right color.”
"That's right. A normal fruit should be a light green. This one... is grayish green, right?"
Shu Li was shocked when he heard this and looked up at fruit number three.
Oops! That's bad!
He forgot to remove the paint from the surface of fruit number three!
"Maybe... maybe it's stained with something?" Shu Li squeezed closer to fruit number three with a guilty conscience, looked up and shouted to the friends clinging to fruit number three, "Angel—please move aside for a moment."
The three little fairies heard the familiar voice and flew down in surprise.
"Sperian, you're back?"
They were sleeping soundly when they were woken up by the noise in the courtyard. When they went to the window, all their sleepiness was awakened by the noise. There were hundreds of elves standing in the yard.
Remembering how hard Sperian had gone to steal the number three fruit last night, they didn't even bother with breakfast and flew straight into the yard to see the fruit.
Fruit number three is so huge! No wonder Sperian came back so late. He must have encountered some difficulty while transferring the fruit.
"Yeah, I had breakfast and went to congratulate Danlov on his promotion to the God of Magic." Shu Li took out his magic wand and said, "You guys should go congratulate Danlov too later!"
"Good!" The three friends were happy that Danlov became the God of Magic.
Shu Li raised his magic wand, aimed it at fruit number three, and chanted a few words of water magic. After a few seconds, a stream of water circled around fruit number three several times. In an instant, the gray-green color of the fruit's skin faded, and its fresh green color returned.
The water dissipated, and Shu Li put away his magic wand. He said to the elves present with remarkable calmness, "Look, it really was accidentally stained with a strange paint."
The elves who knew the truth: ...
Shu Li was being stared at by hundreds of eyes, and he grinned shamelessly: "Hehehe——"
Anyway... anyway, they all knew that he went out to steal fruits every night, so they just kept pretending to each other as they didn't want to expose each other's secrets!
The three little friends didn't know the truth and just laughed.
The elves couldn't help laughing. The elf standing next to Shu Li suddenly put his arms around his neck, rubbed his head vigorously, and praised him sincerely: "Well done!"
Shu Li was slapped hard and wanted to run away, but other elves swarmed over and grabbed him, slapping him one after another, making it very lively.
Those elves who couldn't snatch him turned their attention to three small goblins.
Angel, Discio and Budno were brutally beaten and almost had their skin peeled off.
By the time Shu Li escaped from the courtyard, it was more than ten minutes later. His three friends were still in the hands of the elves. He wanted to save them but was powerless.
Just... let my good brother give it a push!
He fled the scene with his back bent, and only stood up after walking for a distance. He let out a long sigh, adjusted his clothes and hair, and wondered where the Elf King was.
Suddenly, he saw the red-haired elf walking towards him and waved, calling out, "Saya! Are you here to see the new fruit too?"
Sai Ya's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Yes, I heard that the mother tree grew a very large fruit."
"Oh, yes, I just saw it." Shu Li said casually, "The mother tree must have been brewing for a long time to grow such a large fruit. I guess it won't be long before the elves have cubs!"
Saiya looked at him tenderly, reaching out to straighten his crooked forehead ring. "Perhaps because you little fairies often stay in the Cub Courtyard, the mother tree is feeling pregnant and wants to give birth to a group of elf cubs for you to play with."
"Is...right?" Shu Li looked at Sai Ya in admiration. He never expected that she would find such a magical excuse for him. "By the way, Wang is not in the library. I looked everywhere but couldn't find him."
Seeing the little elf frown in distress, Saiya patted his shoulder comfortingly. "When I came here, I ran into Daigmon who was returning from patrol. He said he saw the king riding his unicorn to Mount Amitai."
"Amitaishan!" Shu Li clicked his tongue.
Mount Amitai is located in the south of the Elf Kingdom, close to the Saint Bash Sea. The mountain range is huge and continuous, so it is not easy to find someone.
However, there is a group of hot springs on Mount Amitai that contain magical powers. They can nourish the skin, relieve fatigue, relieve pain, and enhance energy. Elves often go there to take a bath.
Wang went to Mount Amitai alone early in the morning. Could he be going to take a hot spring bath?
Shu Li scratched his head.
Was Wang deliberately avoiding him? Otherwise, why was he always late after searching several places?
No, how could he doubt the king like this?
Shu Li shook his head vigorously, getting rid of the idea.
"I...I'll leave first." He said to Saya, flapped his wings, flew into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Saiya stood there, looking at the direction where he disappeared, and smiled.
Shu Li felt that he was flying too slowly, so he added wind magic and light magic and rushed towards Mount Amitai like lightning.
After leaving the Elf City, Farm's voice suddenly rang in my mind.
"Sperian, Sperian, let me come out and pick you up!" Farm felt very depressed in the Seal of the God of Fire.
There is nothing to eat and nothing to play. It’s so boring.
Sharo was taken away by the wood elf yesterday and has not returned yet. It’s so boring for him to be alone as a beast!
When it heard that the little goblin was going to Mount Amitai, it became excited.
Mount Amitai is good, Mount Amitai is wonderful. It can run, hunt and have fun in the mountains.
Shu Li hesitated for a moment and agreed to its request.
Suddenly, a red light emerged from the back of his right hand. First, a chubby little baby beast appeared, and in a flash, its body swelled into a giant beast.
Shu Li was almost blown away by the Fire Dragon Lizard's big wings.
Farm descended, spun around, and successfully picked him up, flying excitedly to Mount Amitai.
Shu Li stood on the spacious back of the Fire Dragon Lizard and looked into the distance.
Farm, who was eager to play, ran very fast and reached his destination in just two or three minutes.
Shu Li commanded it to fly towards the hot springs.
The high-level magical beasts passed by with great momentum and terrifying pressure. The local magical beasts in Mount Amitai were panicked and fled everywhere.
Shu Li was so upset that he stamped his feet, asking the Fire Dragon Lizard to be more restrained.
Farm let out a roar, and reluctantly retracted his imposing aura. He arrived near the hot springs, dived down suddenly, and landed with a bang. The little goblin on his back almost fell down.
Shu Li steadied himself, jumped off the Fire Dragon Lizard's back, and told it not to play too wildly.
Farm nodded repeatedly, and when Shu Li turned and walked towards the hot springs, it slipped away impatiently.
The hot springs of Mount Amitai are a gift from nature, boasting not only beautiful scenery but also an ancient and elegant palace. The palace draws water from the hot springs, creating a vast pool where reserved elves love to bathe.
Shu Li walked along the secluded path and came to the small square in front of the palace. He climbed up the stairs, and after walking up more than twenty steps, he finally entered the small palace.
Affected by the hot spring vapor, the palace was filled with mist like a fairyland, and the furnishings inside were difficult to see clearly.
Shu Li followed his memory and walked towards the hot spring pool.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of splashing water. He was startled and subconsciously ducked to the side, hiding behind a stone pillar.
There was a shadow swaying in the pool.
He was overjoyed, there was no doubt about it, it was definitely the Elf King!
Great, I finally found it!
