Chapter 269 Give the Elf King Blood Prison Grass
Crystal City is quite empty today.
The goblins and some elves went to harvest the wheat fields, the elf cubs and most of the elves went to the temple to pray, and the remaining small number of elves stayed at their posts.
"Where is the king? Did he go to the temple too?" Shu Li asked Garlot.
The only elf cub has awakened its magical attributes, and the Elf King will definitely accompany it to the temple to take charge of the situation.
Garrot replied, "The king went to Milady's palace."
Shu Li immediately lowered her head.
really……
Lake Saint Zenan is a bit far from the Crystal City, and it takes more than two hours to ride a unicorn back and forth. In addition, the cubs' awakening time is uncertain, so we can't return until at least the afternoon.
Should he wait here, or go back to the magic academy to sleep and come back tomorrow?
Shu Li hesitated.
Seeing the little elf listless, Garlot couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to see the king?"
Shu Li nodded heavily. "Yes, it's something important."
That grass is very strange. Not only is it guarded by the Demon Lord, it also attracts the Necromancer and the Nightmare to the Wobba Canyon. He must find out its origin and function.
Garrot stroked his smooth chin and said, "Then... I'll pass on the message to the king!"
"Huh?" Shu Li hesitated, "Will it delay Israel's awakening ceremony?"
Garrot smiled and said, "Don't worry."
He made a gesture and activated telepathy magic, a high-level skill only possessed by magicians at the level of a Mage Saint.
Shu Li flapped her gauze-like wings and circled around Garlot like a firefly.
After a while, Garrot stopped gesturing and said to the anxious elf, "Israel is already in the temple inducing magic, and it won't be over soon. The king said he'll be back soon."
Shu Li's brows relaxed, and she happily pounced on Garrot, holding one of his fingers and rubbing it.
"Gallot, thank you!"
Garrot took the opportunity to rub the little elf's head. "Alright, go to the king's courtyard and wait!"
"Yeah!" Shu Li let go of his fingers and happily flew out of the courtyard, taking the air route.
Garrot stood in the corridor, looking up at the sky with a smile on his face.
"Are you happy to have a little friend?"
A resentful voice sounded behind him.
Garrot asked without turning his head: "Are you envious?"
"Hehe." Ilio walked over to him, folding his arms. "Of course I'm not envious or jealous. I get to spend time with other kids at the magic academy every day, and it's not easy to pet them."
Garrot glanced sideways and saw the small scratch on his face. He asked in surprise, "Who hurt you?"
Elio touched the scar on his face. "A cunning nightmare."
Garrot frowned. "Did you encounter a monster?"
Ilio said, "Not only monsters, but also necromancers. I'm just coming back to report the details to the king."
Garlot nodded, pulled an exquisite medicine box from his storage ring, and handed it to Ilio. "This is the ointment I concocted. It will not only heal wounds but also reduce scars."
Elio held the small medicine box between two fingers. "Thank you."
Garrot stared at the scars on his face and said, "Elves are a beautiful and elegant race. How could they allow their faces to be injured?"
Seeing he was about to launch into a long speech, Ilio stepped back three meters and raised his hand to stop him. "I'll go apply the medicine. You take your time to enjoy the scenery."
Garlot is a well-known perfectionist. If he stares at you for three days and three nights, you will have no peace of mind. He will not let you go until he is sure that there is not a single flaw on your body.
Ilio threw the medicine box upwards, caught it nimbly, and dodged away.
Garrot spread his hands, his golden eyes gleaming with a playful gleam.
Shu Li flew all the way to the Elf King's courtyard. As soon as he landed on a tree branch from the air, he saw the Elf King's figure appear out of thin air.
Did this teleport directly back from the temple?
He left the branch, flapped his wings, and flew towards the Elf King.
"King~~~"
As he was about to get close, he released his original power, and the moment he landed, he turned into a large size and stood in front of the Elf King.
The Elf King said gently, "Good morning, Sperian."
"Good morning, Wang." Shu Li tilted her head back, gazing at his flawless face with bright eyes.
"I heard from Garlot that you have something important to discuss with me?" asked the Elf King.
"Yes, my king." Shu Li touched the storage ring hanging around his neck, took out the medicine box, and solemnly handed it to the Elf King with both hands, saying seriously, "This is the herb that Ephite gave me. The dark elf cub secretly collected it from the underground of the Wobba Canyon, and was then hunted by the Demon Lord."
The Elf King took the medicine box and, before even opening the lid, identified the species. "It's Blood Hell Grass."
Shu Li asked in confusion, "What kind of grass is Blood Hell Grass?"
Just from the name it doesn't sound like a good herb.
The Elf King opened the box, revealing a bright red herb. His brows lowered. "Blood Hell Grass is a magical herb unique to Hell. When mature, its essence has a calming effect on the soul and mind."
Shu Li was shocked: "How could the Hell Demon Grass appear in the Grand Canyon? Could it be... that Demon Lord brought it out?"
Of course!
The immortal demon king escaped the seal with his own unique power and has a great chance of bringing out the magic grass seeds from hell.
The Elf King closed the box and said, "It's obvious that someone needs it to calm their souls and soothe their spirits."
Shu Li frowned. "Who has the ability to control the Demon Lord?"
After the Demon Lord died, necromancers and nightmares from Cecilia rushed to the canyon overnight.
"Only the God of Darkness can drive the Demon Lord." said the Elf King.
"The God of Darkness!" Shu Li asked in disbelief, eyes wide open. "King, are you saying... that the God of Darkness has descended into the human world?"
He hasn't found all the elemental spirits yet and hasn't become a god of magic, but the ultimate boss showed up ahead of time!
what to do?
With my current strength, I am no match for the big boss!
Seeing the little goblin's frightened face pale, the Elf King patted his head soothingly and said softly, "Don't be afraid. The appearance of the Blood Hell Grass proves that the God of Darkness is still in Hell and has no ability to break the seal."
Shu Li sighed, completely convinced of the Elf King's words. "So who are they planning to give this Blood Hell Grass to?"
The Elf King's green eyes were deep, and his voice was low as he said, "Those who sell their souls to the God of Darkness, or those whose souls are tainted by darkness and manifest demonic nature."
Shu Li opened his mouth slightly, his mind racing. The only person who met these requirements and held such a high position, capable of summoning necromancers and monsters, was the King of Cecilia.
Eighteen years ago, he launched a coup, killed his brother and usurped the throne, issued a warrant for the arrest of his nephews and nieces, invaded everywhere, and started wars. He was simply insane.
Denton Trick, he sold his soul to the Dark God!
Shu Li expressed his guess, and the Elf King nodded in approval.
"Is there any way to punish him?"
Such a bad person must be strangled in the cradle in advance, otherwise when he grows up, there will be endless troubles.
The Elf King said, "He is a king, holding an extremely high status and power. Only if his regime is overthrown or invaded by another country can he be effectively punished and sentenced to death."
Shu Li puffed up his cheeks and asked, "Can't we assassinate him?"
There are countless elves and fairies at the level of magic gods. Any one of them can kill Denton, right?
The Elf King shook his head. "We once signed a contract with the ancestors of the human race, never to interfere with the development and prosperity of mankind, otherwise we will suffer the backlash of the contract."
Shu Li was stunned. "Killing...killing a king, is that considered interfering with the development and prosperity of mankind?"
The Elf King said, "Okay."
Shu Li scratched his head and paced back and forth on the grass.
"Such trouble... Sigh... So, Denton's usurpation of the throne was premeditated? This man is so cunning! Damn it, are we just going to watch him do whatever he wants and do nothing about it?"
Shu Li bit his finger, stopped, and asked, "Since assassinating him directly doesn't work, how about we help other humans overthrow his regime?"
Seleu is the prince of Cecilia. As long as he regains the throne, Denton will be a sinner, and killing him will not be considered a violation of the contract.
The Elf King said gently, "We can appropriately help humans solve some of their difficult problems."
Shu Li high-fived happily. "That's great!"
Although the contract has binding force, it is not absolute. Once a loophole is found, it can be exploited.
He decided that he would help Seleucia develop its power, and after it became stronger, he would return to the Kingdom of Cycilia with legitimate reasons to fight against the usurper.
Seeing the happy smile on his face again, the Elf King said with a gentle look, "It's not safe to leave this Blood Hell Grass with you. Can I keep it for the time being?"
"No problem!" Shu Li nodded. This was a hot potato, so he had to get it out quickly to avoid any trouble.
The Elf King put the medicine box into the storage ring.
Shu Li stared at his perfect profile and asked hesitantly, "Wang, can I ask you a more personal question?"
The Elf King said, "Okay."
Shu Li lowered her head and asked softly, "Um... do you like the same sex or the opposite sex?"
A gust of wind blew, and a leaf the size of a palm fell from the tree and happened to land on his head.
Shu Li felt something on his head, but he didn't dare to move. His eyes were fixed on the grass, and his slightly moving pointed ears betrayed his anxiety.
I don't know where he got the courage to ask the Elf King such a question. It must be what happened to Hector today that affected his mood.
Especially Ace, some of his characteristics are so similar to those of the Elf King that he is full of doubts.
Although he advised himself to let nature take its course, he couldn't be muddle-headed.
No evidence should be left out.
Ace likes the same sex, what about the Elf King?
Shu Li's ears flushed red. After waiting for a long time without hearing the Elf King's answer, he said embarrassedly, "I...I'm just asking casually. If you find it offensive, it's okay if you don't answer."
The Elf King looked at the little elf's wings trembling and said with a smile, "It's okay."
"Huh?" Shu Li looked up and quickly glanced at the Elf King's face. Seeing that he looked gentle and showed no signs of anger, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Regarding your question..." The Elf King paused for a few seconds, as if thinking seriously. Shu Li couldn't help but clasped his hands nervously, looking forward to his answer.
The Elf King Shu Li reached out his hand. Shu Li was stunned, with a pair of pure eyes open. He felt his fingers touching his hair and took out a large leaf.
"Whether I like the same sex or the opposite sex depends on the person I like. Even if he is a leaf, as long as I like him, I will go to him without hesitation."
The Elf King handed the leaf in his hand to Shu Li.
Shu Li took the leaf in a daze, holding the long leaf stalk, and her little heart inexplicably began beating faster.
"What if...what if, I mean, the person you like doesn't like you back?"
For example, Hector didn't like the guy named Jason, so Jason made things difficult for him and deliberately tried to attract his attention, but the result was counterproductive and Hector hated him even more.
Of course, Shu Li felt that if someone was liked by the Elf King, he would be so happy that he would not be willing to refuse him!
The Elf King looked at his fair face and whispered, "Guard him silently and wait until he accepts."
Shu Li's heart was in a knot.
The great Elf King, his view on love is so pure.
Swallowing his saliva, he asked stubbornly: "What if... the other party still doesn't accept it?"
The Elf King did not answer immediately. His eyes were so dark that they seemed to have turned dark green. The wind in the courtyard suddenly became stronger, causing the hair of the two people to fly and intertwine.
Shu Li was stunned, feeling as if there was a terrible air pressure swirling around him. He felt it carefully, but apart from the strong wind, there was nothing unusual.
Just when he was confused, the Elf King finally spoke.
"I will give the other party enough time to consider."
As for whether he would accept it after consideration, the Elf King did not give a clear answer, and Shu Li did not dare to ask further.
Because he had a strong premonition that if he continued to ask, the answer would definitely not be something he could bear.
He bowed and said goodbye to the Elf King apologetically, turned into a tiny dot, fled the courtyard like a fly, crawled into the branches of the mother tree, and returned to the magic academy.
The Elf King stood there silently, his perception following all the way to the mother tree.
The Wood Elf appeared on his shoulder, holding his chin and said, "Fris, you almost lost control!"
The Elf King did not answer, but a dark red light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the sky.
