Chapter 034 Heading to the Elf Kingdom
The Elf Kingdom is west of the Fairy Forest.
To get from the Sacred Tree to the Crystal Castle, you need to pass through Lake Saint Zan and the Roy Hills, which is a bit of a long journey.
With the tiny wings of a young goblin, it would probably take it half a month to reach the destination. However, this is not a problem for an adult goblin.
One after another, the uniquely shaped flying cars, pulled by the pigeon-like Kaga magic birds, flew to the cubs' accommodation area with a "ding-dong" sound.
The cubs got up early and waited in the small square. When they saw the flying car pulled by the magic bird, they all exclaimed in amazement.
Each flying car can accommodate ten cubs, and the twenty-five cubs are divided into three cars.
The first two cars were fully loaded, and the third car had five extra seats, which were filled by the young goblins.
Shu Li's eyes lit up when she saw Jingjing, the top student. "Kumandi!"
The young elf with black hair and purple eyes calmly stepped into the car, nodded at him, and sat opposite him.
The four young goblins who had entered the car with him saw the famous young cub and greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, little Sperian."
"Good morning." Shu Li responded calmly. Don't think he can't see the mockery in their eyes, hehe~
After Xit's enlightenment, he has developed a thick skin as strong as a wall of steel. As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Sure enough, when the four young goblins found that the little cub was staring at them with its innocent and bright eyes, they felt uncomfortable all over.
Clearing their throats, they changed the subject.
“It’s a nice day today~”
"Yes, the weather is always nice during Midsummer's Day."
"It shouldn't rain."
"It doesn't matter if it rains. The Elf King will make the dark clouds drift away."
"That's right."
The topic ended and the carriage fell into an eerie silence.
The young fairies looked at each other, touched their noses awkwardly, and simultaneously took out books from their storage tools and pretended to read.
Shu Li pursed her lips and looked away as if nothing had happened.
With such little fighting power, you still want to make fun of him, so weak!
Kumandi caught a glimpse of the cub's smug expression, and a hint of smile flashed in his eyes.
Shu Li noticed Jingjing's gaze and looked innocent. He didn't do anything, did he?
Kumandi raised the corner of her mouth, glanced at the green crown on his head, and asked, "Why don't you wear a forehead ring?"
Fairies attending the Midsummer Festival will dress up in their finest attire, wearing not only the most gorgeous gowns but also a variety of exquisite accessories, among which forehead rings are indispensable.
However, Sperion's forehead was bare, with only the emerald wreath standing out.
When Shu Li heard his question, her smug expression instantly collapsed, and even her pointed ears drooped.
The other young goblins who were pretending to read looked up, their eyes piercing as they stared at the green crown of flowers on the little cub's head.
This is a symbol of the Elf King's blessing.
Like his master, he is famous.
Before Shu Li could speak, the cub beside him eagerly answered for him.
"The wreath won't coexist peacefully with the bindi," said Dizio seriously.
"The flower crown gets upset when the forehead ring is put on," Angel added seriously.
"Then the forehead ring fell off automatically, and then—" Budno's chubby little hand made a falling gesture.
"I tried three times and failed." Lois held up three fingers.
The young goblins looked at each other in disbelief and asked, "Is this true?"
Although it is a symbol of the Elf King's blessing, isn't the flower crown purely decorative?
Shu Li nodded dejectedly.
He was overjoyed when he got the new dress and put it on immediately. However, when he tried to put on the forehead ring, he encountered a problem.
He thought that since everyone was wearing a yellow gold ring, he couldn't be treated specially.
So, she quickly took off the green crown and put on the forehead ring.
However, before he could look in the mirror, he heard a "ding-dong" sound, and the forehead ring fell off and fell to the ground, and the green flower crown automatically returned to his head.
At that time, Shu Li was shocked.
The Green Crown actually has its own thoughts and does not allow other ornaments to occupy his mind.
But it didn’t object when I wore the magic hat before!
Shu Li didn't believe it and tried twice more. The forehead ring quickly fell off, and the green crown arrogantly occupied the territory.
When he tried for the fourth time, the green crown wouldn't let him take it off.
It seemed to have grown on Shu Li's head and could not be removed even by scratching.
Shu Li had no choice but to give up.
The other cubs all wore exquisite yellow forehead rings, but he was the only one wearing a "green hat" on his head, which made him feel extremely depressed.
However, every fairy who saw him would curiously ask why he didn't wear a forehead ring.
Shu Li explained over and over again until he was tired of talking and simply kept silent. However, the four fairy cubs with him were eager to help explain.
Kumandi seemed lost in thought. He raised his hand and tried to touch the emerald crown on his head. He immediately felt a huge force and quickly withdrew his finger. He frowned and said, "This is not an ordinary crown."
"I know!" Shu Li puffed out his cheeks. If it were ordinary, it wouldn't have been so stubborn.
"It's protecting you," Kumandi said. He felt threatened by the slight touch just now.
The wreath was warning him that if he dared to take it off the cub's head, it would not be polite to him.
"You can't just keep taking it off!" Shu Li frowned in annoyance. How was he supposed to sleep at night? Normally, I could take it off, but today, I wouldn't let him. Wearing it would make me sleepless.
"Sperian, don't worry. Let's wait until we get to the Crystal Castle and ask the king!" Angel gave him advice.
"Yes, the king will definitely know how to deal with it." Dizio agreed.
What can Shu Li do?
Of course I agreed.
While they were talking, a loud whistle was heard outside. The cubs excitedly lay in front of the car window to watch the scene outside.
All the underage fairies boarded the flying cars, hundreds of which were lined up in a row and pulled by the Kaga Demon Bird to leave the dormitory area and meet up with the adult fairies.
Seeing thousands of goblins again, Shu Li's intensive phobia resurfaced, but fortunately the symptoms were milder than before.
The adult goblins were organized in an orderly manner and divided into six teams to provide all-round protection for the flying car.
After three whistles, the huge team began to move and headed towards the Elf Kingdom in a mighty manner.
Adult fairies fly at extremely fast speeds, and the high-level Kaga Demon Bird can only barely keep pace with them by flapping its wings hard.
In an instant, the team left the range of the sacred tree, passed through the fairy forest, and alarmed countless monsters.
Normally, these ferocious high-level monsters did not dare to make a sound when they saw the group of fairies flying towards the west. Some even lay on the ground and made respectful gestures.
The scenery outside the window flashed by. The cubs lay there and watched for a while, then felt bored and began to chatter and ask the young goblins questions.
"Is this the origin of Midsummer's Day?" The young fairy named Carola stroked her smooth chin and asked Angel, "Didn't Elsa tell you?"
"Elsa said that Midsummer's Day is to thank the god of the earth, Hedface Loverne." Angel answered obediently.
"That's right." Carola raised a finger and said with a smile, "In addition to thanking the God of Earth for blessing us with abundant flowers, fruits and trees, we also have to thank the God of Light for driving away the darkness and bringing us peaceful and beautiful days."
Disceo held his chin in his hand and asked, "Then what should we do to thank the God of Earth and the God of Light?"
Another young goblin said, "Sing and dance to praise them."
"That's it?" Shu Li smacked her lips. Wasn't that a little too simple?
"Of course not only that," Carola raised her eyebrows. "We will light a bonfire on the central island of Lake Saint Zhaan, wrap beautiful wreaths around the five guardian pillars, offer the freshest fruits and grains to the God of Earth, and sing sacrificial songs together. We will select the most powerful elven warrior, shoot down the laurel wreath, and give it to the lucky person chosen by the God."
"Midsummer Festival lasts for seven days. During these seven days, we can have fun to our heart's content." The other young fairies added one after another.
“If you have a friend you like, give him beautiful flowers.”
"Remember, don't give picked flowers, give them in pots."
"There are hot springs in Mount Amitai in the Elven Kingdom. It's very comfortable to soak in them."
"Midsummer's Day is also known as Valentine's Day."
"Under the witness of the moon goddess Metelena, elves or fairies exchange laurel wreaths and become lovers."
"If we're lucky, we'll even be able to attend a group wedding."
Carola and the other four young fairies were beaming with joy, becoming more and more excited as they spoke. Suddenly, a cold gaze swept over them, and they shivered and fell silent in an instant, looking awkwardly at the cold-faced Kumandi.
Ahahaha
It seemed that he was a little too excited and said something he shouldn't have to the five little cubs.
But the little cub asked innocently.
"Why is Midsummer's Day also called Valentine's Day?" Angel was curious.
"Uh..." Carola covered half of her face, not knowing how to explain to the innocent little cub.
"What is a couple?" asked Dizio.
"What are we going to do at a group wedding?" Lois blinked her big, innocent eyes.
"Carola, please tell me quickly!" Budno said anxiously.
"This... is..." Carolla scratched her head, feeling miserable and hating herself for speaking without restraint.
Shu Li, who is actually eighteen years old, looked at his friends who were trying to get to the bottom of the matter, and then looked at Carola who looked embarrassed. He shed a tear of sympathy for him, but was kind enough not to join the inquiry team and just be a pure spectator.
Just when Karola was about to cry, Kumandi felt guilty and changed the subject.
"We have entered the territory of the Elf Kingdom."
The cubs' attention was immediately drawn to the car, and they all leaned over to the car window to look at the scenery outside.
"Wow--"
“What a huge lake!”
"I know, this is Lake Saint Zen! Look, the island in the middle of the lake!"
"Is that the island's guardian pillar? It's so tall!"
The cubs screamed excitedly from time to time.
Shu Li was also very excited when she saw it.
The landscape of the Elf Kingdom is completely different from that of the Fairy Forest.
The fairy forest is nothing but trees, with no end in sight.
The Elf Kingdom is different. There are plains, hills, lakes, forests, mountains, and rivers. The scenery is distinct and beautiful.
The goblin team moved very quickly, passing lakes and hills and reaching the plains.
Shu Li saw golden wheat fields, fruitful botanical gardens, herds of animals that looked like deer and cows, and elegantly shaped buildings appearing on the plains.
The buildings are scattered around, forming villages.
Going further ahead, a towering and majestic city wall comes into view.
The city gate is majestic. On the side of the gate stand two statues of gods as tall as the city wall. One holds the moon in his hands and the other holds the sun in his hands. They are the moon goddess Meter Lena and the sun god Asad Migat.
The goblin team descended and gradually approached the city gate.
Shu Li had sharp eyes and saw that the city gate was full of people - oh, no, elves.
They are tall and slender, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with noble temperament, and their jewel-inlaid ornaments sparkle in the sun.
One elf is pleasing to the eye, but when a group of elves stand together, their beauty is doubled and breathtaking.
However, before Shu Li could see whether the leading elf was the Elf King, an emergency occurred in the fairy team.
Tens of thousands of adult goblins chanted spells together, and the sky burst into a strong light.
The cubs saw the familiar light and immediately covered their eyes.
After waiting for a long time, the light disappeared and they saw thousands of giants!
All the adult goblins have grown bigger!
Become as big as an elf!
What’s even more amazing is that the wings on their backs gradually disappeared, making them no different from elves. They can only be distinguished by their swallowtail cloaks.
Tens of thousands of fairies landed on the ground, and the scene was very spectacular. Countless handsome men and beautiful women gathered together, which was dazzling.
Compared with the giant goblin, the flying car pulled by the Kaga bird looked like a toy car.
The young fairies had participated in many Midsummer Festivals and were accustomed to seeing this scene. However, the twenty-five fairy cubs, who were only a few months old, were greatly shocked. They crowded in front of the car windows to look out, making "wa wow" sounds with their little mouths.
"Let's go out!" The young goblin couldn't sit still and was ready to make a move.
Shu Li came back to his senses and asked, "Can... can I go out?"
Carola smiled and said, "We have arrived at the capital of the Elf Kingdom, of course we can go out."
He opened the car door, flapped his wings, and flew out first.
After a while, young goblins appeared in the air one after another. They flapped their wings, flew to the adult goblins, circled around them, and some playfully landed on the shoulders of the adult goblins.
The adult fairies let them fall on themselves, and some of them took out a fruit and handed it to the young fairies lovingly.
The goblin cub followed suit, flew out of the car, flapped its little wings, and looked around curiously.
Shuli and his friends followed Kumandi, flying over the heads of the adult goblins and heading to the front of the group.
When he reached the city wall and looked at the towering city gate, Shu Li almost broke his neck.
So tall and big——
The goblin cub was as small as a mosquito in front of the city gate.
"Great King, thank you for your invitation."
The adult goblin leading the team saluted respectfully to the Elf King at the head.
"Fedro, welcome." The Elf King looked at the elders of the fairy tribe affectionately.
Although the goblins are under the jurisdiction of the elves, their daily affairs are handled by the elders, and the Elf King does not interfere unless there are major problems, then he will intervene.
Every year at Midsummer Festival, the elders lead the goblins to the capital of the Elf Kingdom.
The Elf King and the elves stood at the city gate to welcome them, showing their utmost courtesy.
After a brief greeting, the goblins finally entered the city.
Shu Li looked at the Elf King eagerly, hesitating whether to fly over to greet him.
Today, the Elf King, dressed in formal attire, looked even more stunning. His shimmering golden hair flowed freely, and he wore a silver crown symbolizing royalty. A cloak smoother than silk flowed to the ground, and his lavender robes framed his figure to perfection. Every gesture was filled with unparalleled grace. Even surrounded by a multitude of elves and fairies, he remained remarkably stunning and dazzling.
"Sperian, come here." A gentle voice sounded, and Shu Li suddenly came back to his senses.
At some point, the Elf King stopped, turned sideways and looked back, his green eyes sparkling.
Almost all the elves and goblins looked at the goblin cub wearing a green crown.
Being stared at by so many eyes, Shu Li's mind went blank and he spoke incoherently with nervousness: "Respected... Respected King... Good morning... Ba... Bazn Bulga of the Fairy Forest... Gareth asked me to give him his regards!"
