Chapter 392 The Dragon King Visits
"Your Excellency, Mr. Fries, please forgive my intrusive visit. Could I take a moment of your time?"
The mermaid king Shuratis brought two little mermaids to the throne, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted gracefully.
"Your Excellency Shuradis, welcome." The Elf King smiled in return. "We are currently holding a symposium. If you're not in a hurry, you can listen to the adventure stories of the little elves."
Before Shuradis could answer, the two little mermaids behind her pricked up their ears, tugged at her sleeves, one on the left and one on the right, and looked at her pleadingly with their big watery eyes.
They love listening to adventure stories the most!
Shuradis maintained perfect composure and readily agreed to the Elf King's proposal. "It would be my honor."
Soon, the elves near the throne made way for the mermaid king and the two little mermaids, and served them fresh food and juice.
Mermaids are a carnivorous race, and the elves prepare for them food including fruits and boiled bird eggs.
Shuradis followed the local customs and calmly picked up a Kuku fruit and put it into his mouth.
The two little mermaids wrinkled their noses, picked up the boiled bird eggs, cracked them and peeled them.
Shu Li looked at them curiously, feeling that they looked familiar.
Thesio's figure flashed and flew in front of the little mermaid, staring at their faces to identify them carefully.
"Are you... Pern?" He pointed at the blue-haired boy, then the red-haired girl. "Are you Nia?"
The two little mermaids looked at each other, put down the boiled bird eggs in their hands, and nodded happily.
"Yeah, I'm Pern, and she's Nia." The blue-haired boy said in standard Elvish, "You're... Desio, right?"
Dissio put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Yes! I'm Dissio!"
"Wow! Pern! Nia! You've grown up!"
Angel and Budno flew over together and circled around them.
"You can talk now!"
“Guess who we are?”
The two little goblins stood on the table and looked at the little mermaid with a smile.
Pern rolled his eyes, pointed at the white-haired goblin, and said, "You're Angel!"
Nia immediately called out the name of the other goblin: "You are Budno!"
"Haha, that's right!" Budno grinned.
Pern looked around, searching for the blonde elf.
Shuli and Kumandi flew over to their table, first politely bowing to the Mermaid King, then waving to the two little mermaids. "I'm Sperian, and he's Kumandi. Do you remember?"
"Remember!" Pern and Nia said in unison.
How could I forget?
When they were still cubs, they were poached by pirates and were almost sold as goods. It was Sperian who suggested entering the pirate ship to search for treasure and discovered them.
Later, they were brought back to Mermaid Island by the mermaids and were confined to the island. They were not allowed to leave the island until they learned the skills.
As early as twenty years ago, they had the ability to transform their fish tails into legs, and they were eager to go ashore to play with the little goblins.
As a result, the Mermaid King asked them to improve their strength to the level of Grand Mage before they could leave the island.
So, Pern and Nia continued to work hard and recently broke through to become high-level wizards.
This time, the Mermaid King did not stop them.
Moreover, she personally took them to visit the Elf Kingdom.
Pern and Nia were overjoyed. They followed the Mermaid King all the way without any obstructions, crossed the Amitai Mountains, and entered the main city of the Elf Kingdom - the Crystal City.
I finally met my fairy friend whom I had been thinking about for more than forty years. I was so happy!
"Have you been in touch with Amanda?" Pern asked.
When they passed by Dragon Island, they went there specifically to look for Amanda, wanting to invite her to go to the Elf Kingdom together.
However, the elders on Dragon Island told them that Amanda had gone out on an adventure and her return date was uncertain.
Disappointed, Pern and Nia could only bid farewell to Dragon Island with regret.
"Amanda, he..." Before Sperian could answer, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out in the hall.
"Hahaha, it's so lively! We're here at the perfect time!"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Dragon King Harmon came in hurriedly with a shy Amanda.
"Amanda!" Budno's voice was loud and resounded throughout the hall.
Amanda looked over at the sound and smiled brightly.
With half of Team Light's members gathered together, the symposium became even more colorful.
Shu Li sat on the table in front of the throne, holding a silver harp in his arms, plucking the strings casually, and telling the story of their adventures in a clear voice.
"...On that day, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was clear. The brave Light Squad set out on their journey to the Land of Snow..."
This is a long adventure story that can never be told in one day.
The elves, goblins and guests from afar all listened with great interest.
Shu Li said she was tired, so Kumandi took over. Kumandi was tired, so Angel took over... one after another, until night fell, and then they talked about entering the palace of the Snow Kingdom.
The Elf King was considerate of the goblins and asked them to continue after dinner.
Pern and Nia looked at Amanda enviously.
Even the underage dragons went on adventures to the mainland with Sperian, but they were studying painfully on Mermaid Island.
The mermaid king, Shuradis, caught a glimpse of the resentful expression on the little mermaid's face, raised the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "If I had learned the common language of the continent at that time, I would not have stopped you."
Pern and Nia blushed immediately.
Their talents are all in combat, and they are really powerless when it comes to language.
It took thirty or forty years to learn the mermaid language, the elf language, and the common language of the continent.
As for the Dwarven language, the Winged language, etc., I only have a vague understanding of them.
Mermaids who don't know the common language of the mainland are not qualified to adventure on the mainland.
Shu Li looked at them sympathetically.
He was also a language idiot, and when he learned about the little mermaids' distress, he felt sympathetic.
The dinner was very sumptuous.
Both the dragons and the mermaids ate meat.
Although it is just an ordinary fish in the sea, it is better than nothing. After careful cooking and the spices provided by Shu Li, the taste is amazing.
In the vibrant courtyard, moongrass breaks through the soil, welcoming the baptism of the silver moon.
The Elf King and the Mermaid King stood in the corridor, admiring the beautiful night view.
After a while, Shuradis broke the silence.
"Does Your Excellency know about the war in the southern part of the continent?"
The Elf King nodded: "I heard Danlov mention it."
Shuradis frowned slightly. "Will darkness once again sweep across the Austin continent?"
Although Mermaid Island is located in the Aman Sea, far away from the mainland, it cannot remain immune. Sooner or later, the war will spread to the island.
Just like the war of gods ten thousand years ago.
In that war, the mermaids suffered heavy losses and many outstanding mermaid warriors were sacrificed.
After thousands of years of recuperation, the world finally recovered and the new generation thrived. However, the God of Darkness never stopped his intention to invade the human world.
She originally thought that the war would not soon reach Mermaid Island, but half a month ago, a crack emitting dark air appeared on the seabed.
This posed a great threat to the mermaids living in the ocean, and no matter how many methods they tried, they were of no avail.
Today she specially visited the Elf King to seek help.
She told the Elf King about her troubles in detail.
The Elf King listened attentively. After understanding the cause and effect, he pondered, "Could this crack originate from the Wobba Canyon?"
Shuradis was startled and said solemnly, "Yes."
The crack is very long, extending from the direction of the Waba Grand Canyon all the way to Mermaid Island.
If not stopped, the crack will run through the entire Mermaid Island.
By that time, Mermaid Island was eroded by the power of darkness and the mermaid tribe was in danger.
The Elf King is the Son of Light and the main force in sealing the God of Darkness. If we ask him for help, there will definitely be a solution.
"The Woba Canyon is actually the sealed entrance and exit of Hell," the Elf King said. "If the Dark God and his army of demons want to leave Hell, they must open the gates of Hell. And to fully open the gates of Hell, they must obtain the five legendary magic swords. Otherwise, he can only sneak around like a rat in a sewer, collaborating internally and externally to carve a crack and try his best to escape."
After hearing this, Shuradis looked solemn.
"I will never allow the merman tribe to be wiped out in my hands."
The dark power of the crack spread quickly, and the high-level monsters in the seabed were infected by the darkness and gradually affected, becoming more and more violent and irritable, hindering the mermaids' daily hunting.
There are too many high-level magical beasts in the seabed, and the mermaids are unwilling to make enemies with them unless necessary.
We are all underwater creatures. When our strength is equal, we should coexist peacefully instead of provoking conflicts and breeding hatred.
"I fully understand your difficulties," the Elf King frowned and said, "After the goblin symposium is over, I will take Sperian to Mermaid Island."
Shuradis was stunned and asked, "Why bring... Sperian?"
In her eyes, no matter how powerful Sperian was, he was just a little goblin who had just been promoted to a mage.
There is basically zero practical experience.
If he were to face the terrifying crack together, and if he couldn't withstand the overflowing dark power, he would be in great danger.
The Elf King smiled, a hint of tenderness between his brows, and said in a clear voice: "If you listen to the goblins' symposium, you won't think so."
Shuradis sighed, "I'll stay until the symposium is over."
Even though she wanted to leave, the two little mermaids were reluctant to say goodbye to their friend.
The Elf King comforted him, "Don't worry, the problem will be solved."
Shuradis saluted him solemnly. "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome," said the Elf King. "As both of us are on the side of light, it's only natural for us to help each other."
Shuradis felt emotional.
Although they are all in the light camp, not everyone is just.
The war of gods ten thousand years ago was won with great difficulty.
The elves were backstabbed, and Aung Orakiri colluded with the God of Darkness, willingly being corrupted by the power of darkness and becoming the evil King of the Dark Elves.
After the war, other races used this as an excuse to condemn the elves. The Elf King was unable to bear it and blocked the Fairy Forest and the Elf Kingdom, refusing to communicate with the outside world.
Since then, there has been no trace of the Light Clan on the continent.
Even if elves and fairies come out to train, they will be well disguised and cannot be distinguished.
Now that the God of Darkness has returned, it is time for all races on the continent to unite and fight the enemy together.
I just don't know if the Elf King will let go of the past and become the leader of the light camp again?
Shuradis crossed his arms over his chest and said respectfully, "I am willing to follow in your footsteps and fight for light."
The Elf King placed one hand over his chest and returned the greeting: "Thank you for your trust."
After finishing the conversation, Shuradis returned to the palace. The Elf King was still standing in the corridor admiring the beautiful moonlight.
After a while, he chuckled and said, "How long are you going to hide?"
There was a slight rustling sound from the bushes outside the corridor, and the dense green leaves were pushed aside by a pair of small hands, revealing the cute figure of the little elf.
Shu Li slowly emerged from the bushes, flew into the air, blinked his eyes, and faced the Elf King with an innocent look.
