Chapter 260 Lively Symposium
Today is destined to be a restless day.
In order to appease the elf cub who was as angry as a little pufferfish, Shu Li took out a bunch of candies and toys, and gave it kisses, hugs and high lifts, and finally coaxed the little guy into submission.
The goblins surrounded him, eager to hear his stories about his experiences outside.
"Aren't you going to the wheat fields to harvest the wheat?" Shu Li held his forehead helplessly. The story of his training was very long, and it would take more than an hour or two to tell it all.
"Sit gave us three days off. We have plenty of time. It doesn't matter if we're delayed for half a day!" Lois happily spun in the air, her light brown hair flying.
"Sperian, I want to hear a story." The fairy cub Misina flew in front of Shu Li, who had grown in size, and hugged a strand of his hair with both hands and acted coquettishly.
"Brave Sperian, tell us a story!" The other four cubs landed on Shu Li's head, holding his hair like pendants, and one of them leaned against his cheek, rubbing it flatteringly.
Shu Li's heart melted when she touched the tender little face.
Cubs and all, they're so cute.
"Sperian, I want to listen too!"
The elf cub held by Shu Li puffed out his cheeks and grabbed a strand of hair unwillingly.
"Oh my, be gentle~" Shu Li showed an exaggerated expression, and sure enough, all the cubs let go.
"Sperian, I'm sorry..."
Everyone admitted their mistakes with a good attitude.
Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's okay, I forgive you."
Israel struggled slightly, indicating that he wanted to get down and walk on his own.
Shu Li put him down and started holding his hand. "Let's go to the hall."
It seems that I can't avoid today's "symposium". In this case, I might as well meet everyone's requirements!
The elves seemed to know that he was going to hold a symposium, so they decorated the hall in advance. The long table was filled with various crispy nuts, fresh fruits, delicious drinks and other snacks. There were many kinds of snacks, everything you could expect.
The goblins smelled the sweet scent, cheered, and rushed towards the table happily. When they were about to get close, they released their original power one by one, turned into large sizes, and landed lightly on the ground.
If you want to enjoy delicious food to your heart's content, of course you will enjoy it more when you become bigger.
Misina and the other eight fairy cubs were just novice magicians and could not transform. They flapped their wings, landed in front of the fruit platter, stretched out their hands, picked up a red fruit, and started to eat it.
The back of Shu Li's right hand felt slightly hot, and a red light shot out from the Seal of the God of Fire, transforming into a round little monster, which was the greedy Farm.
"Wow! I told you there would be delicious food when we return to Elfland!" The little monster's mouth was watering. He pounced on the nearest table, fixed his eyes on a fruit, and took a big bite.
This is real fruit, fresh, crispy, juicy and sweet. The fruits grown by humans are simply incomparable.
Farm devoured ten pear-like fruits in a flash, still feeling unsatisfied.
Shu Li was speechless upon seeing this.
Is this guy's stomach a bottomless pit?
I ate a lot of monster meat for dinner, and now I can still fit so much fruit in my stomach.
Shaking his head, Shu Li ignored Farmu and carried Israel to find an empty seat.
Saya saw him and called out, "Sperian, come here quickly, your seat is here."
Upon hearing the voice, Shu Li looked in the direction that Sai Ya pointed, was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The seat was right next to the Elf King's throne and was very conspicuous.
By the way, where is the Elf King?
After entering the hall for a while, most of the elves came, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that...
Shu Li was thinking as he walked. When he passed a table, he picked up a juicy fruit and ate it slowly.
Suddenly, his right hand was gently pulled, and he looked down at Israel.
Looking into the cub's bright eyes, Shu Li understood and held the fruit in her mouth, using her free left hand to pick up a fruit for him as well.
"Thank you." Israel took the red fruit and started eating it like a little hamster.
Shu Li led him to the prominent seat and sat him down. His eyes involuntarily drifted towards the throne and he fell into deep thought again.
Elves and goblins have long lives and need interesting and fun things to pass the time. They often get together to talk about their experiences, and this is how the symposium came about.
The goblins wanted to hear his stories of experience, and the elves heard the news and came to the temple when they had nothing to do.
According to previous practice, the Elf King never misses such a grand symposium.
However, he didn't come today. Could it be that... he couldn't come?
Shu Li's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
Under what circumstances would the Elf King be absent?
It must be that he is not in the Elf Kingdom!
"Sperian, has it started yet?"
Just when Shu Li grasped a clue, Israel's childish voice sounded in his ears.
"Hmm? Start?" Shu Li came back to his senses and was surprised to find that the elves and goblins in the hall were all ready to eat melons, waiting for him to speak.
"Sperian, we're all ready!"
The goblins showed him a notebook and a quill to take notes.
Shu Li had the urge to cover her face.
This habit was learned from Kumandi, who took careful notes at every symposium in order to compile them into poems.
Shu Li sighed softly, picked up the honey on the table, moistened his throat, and was about to speak when a tall figure appeared at the door of the hall.
It’s the Elf King!
Shu Li opened his eyes wide in surprise.
The man was dressed in a gorgeous, elegant white robe, the sleeves and hem embroidered with intricate magical runes in gold thread, and his flowing cape was adorned with delicate floral patterns. He wore a silver crown, a symbol of his status, his golden hair flowing smoothly. His radiant green eyes, as bright as stars, revealed a gentle expression as he looked at Shu Li.
The elves stood up, placed their right hands over their chests, and respectfully saluted the noble Elf King.
The goblins stopped playing, stood up and saluted.
Shu Li was a little confused. The moment he saw the Elf King, he once again overturned his own guess and felt extremely conflicted.
Seeing the Elf King approach his seat, he belatedly stood up and stammered, "Good morning, King!"
"Good morning, Sperian." The Elf King nodded slightly, walked to the throne and sat down gracefully.
Shu Li drooped his shoulders and looked a little depressed.
"Were you bullied by humans outside?" The Elf King asked with concern when he saw him looking dejected.
"Uh, no, no." Shu Li waved her hands repeatedly. "With Ilio here, no one dares to bully us."
After competing with Lu Weixi, he became famous in one battle and no human dared to bully him.
In fact, every time he came back to meet the Elf King, he would report his experiences outside to him. It didn't matter whether the Elf King listened to this symposium or not.
However, he had not yet had time to tell the Elf King what happened in the Wobba Canyon yesterday.
Shu Li frowned, feeling that since this matter concerned the God of Darkness, he couldn't be careless.
And—he has selfish motives.
"King." Shu Li said solemnly, "We have encountered the Lord of Hell."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of gasps were heard in the hall.
Dagmon, who was sitting near him, frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Very sure." Shu Li nodded heavily. "It possesses the property of immortality. Every time it is killed, it will be resurrected and become more powerful. It is said to be one of the Ten Great Demon Lords of Hell, named Ansed... De..."
Oops, I forgot the name of that demon king.
"Ansedram." The Elf King helped him add his full name.
Shu Li high-fived. "Yes, it's called Ansedram!"
The elves didn't even eat the melons, and all of them looked solemn. The goblins didn't understand what was going on, and they held the melons in their hands with a bewildered look on their faces.
Unlike Shu Li, they are real underage goblins and are not mentally mature. Currently, the goblin mentor focuses on happy education and does not talk too much about content related to dark forces.
Yisrael gently tugged at the corner of Shu Li's clothes and asked quietly, "What is a Demon Lord?"
Shu Li patted his little head and said seriously, "He's the running dog of the Dark God."
Next, he spoke clearly about the Light Team's trip to the Wobbe Canyon.
Starting from how to register to join the adventure team, he talked about it and described the whole process in detail. The elves listened very carefully and occasionally asked questions, and Shu Li answered them truthfully.
However, regarding the part about Ephite and the dark elf cub, he omitted some details and just regarded them as an accidental encounter.
As for the nightmare, he concealed its true content and replaced it with a scene of being taken to the edge of the forest by a big stupid bird.
As we all know, people often develop psychological trauma and indelible fear when they encounter a terrible event for the first time.
It's reasonable for Shu Li to use this incident as the source of her fear.
"What happened next? How did you get out of the nightmare?"
Mihina flew in front of Shuri and asked nervously.
"Later..." Shu Li turned to look at the throne.
No matter it was reality or a nightmare, when he was in despair, the Elf King would descend from the sky to save him from danger and eliminate his fear.
Of course, Shu Li never mentioned the embarrassing incident of crying in the Elf King's arms after she regained consciousness.
"...Under the king's guidance, I slew the Demon Lord with the Sword of Viona." He clasped his hands together, stared at the Elf King, and asked, "King, is the you in my nightmare real?"
The Elf King did not answer immediately, but looked calmly at the little elf who was eager to verify.
Shu Li felt uneasy.
I hope it is true, but I also hope it is false. It is full of contradictions.
After a long pause, the Elf King replied irrelevantly: "Your Ring of Phanes has affected the Demon Lord's nightmares, creating an illusion that blends reality and illusion. Whether it's real or not is determined by the heart."
Shu Li was stunned.
What does it mean to move from the heart?
He didn't have time to think about it because the elves started a heated discussion about the Demon Lord.
"Shouldn't the Demon Lord be sealed in Hell along with the God of Darkness?"
"Ansedram didn't die in the War of the Gods ten thousand years ago!"
"Its immortality is very troublesome."
"The Dark God is indeed still steadfast in his evil intentions, and is always ready to make a comeback."
"Little Sperian is too dangerous this time."
"It's really worrying that underage goblins are going out to gain experience."
"The Demon Sword has appeared!"
"How did Sperion obtain the Sword of Viona? Did the Sword of Viona recognize him as its master?"
"That's impossible. The owner of the magic sword has always been human."
"There are exceptions occasionally. The king once used the Sword of Kalos to slay countless monsters and necromancers from Hell."
"The appearance of the Demon Sword signifies the imminent arrival of the Dark God. We must be fully prepared for the battle ahead."
"Without the help of the Fire Spirit, Farmu has no fighting spirit."
"The goblin has revealed his identity in front of humans!"
As soon as these words were spoken, hundreds of eyes turned to look at the guilty little goblin.
"Well... I can explain." Shu Li shifted his hips back, sweat dripping down his forehead as he spoke quickly, "Ilio signed a confidentiality agreement with them. He will never disclose it."
Under the gaze of the elves, Shu Li obediently answered all their questions.
For example, how did the magic sword come about? This is another interesting experience.
Two hours later, Shu Li felt dizzy, yawned continuously, and was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
His jet lag is different from others.
It's time to go to bed at this time.
Fortunately, the elves were understanding and let him go, and the goblins stopped asking questions when they saw that he was sleepy.
Shu Li staggered to his feet and prepared to go back to the magic academy to sleep.
"careful--"
He missed the step and his body tilted. Just as he was about to fall, the Elf King quickly grabbed him.
“Hmm~!”
Shu Li threw herself into the Elf King's arms, her cheek pressed against his chest.
This scene...why does it look so familiar?
Today in the bookstore, Ace pulled her into his arms.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
Shu Li listened to the Elf King's steady heartbeat and a strange look appeared on his face.
Since he was a child, he has always had "intimate contact" with the Elf King with his small body.
She would either sit on his shoulder or on his palm, occasionally swinging on a strand of his hair, but she had never been so close to his chest with her large body pressed against him as now.
Human sense of touch has memory and is more accurate than hearing and vision.
Fairies have a keen sense of touch, several times more sensitive than humans, and once you come into contact with them, you will never forget them.
At this moment, he had only one feeling, that the Elf King's embrace was exactly the same as Ace's!
