Chapter 116 The Elf Queen wants to choose one of the two? I want them all!
"At 7:30, will we go to the Holy Bird Tower to enjoy the moon?" Su Xuan secretly memorized the Elf Queen's scheduled landing location.
At this time, Elena's joyful voice came: "I'm done!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan immediately put on his clothes and walked over quickly, gently placing the handkerchief in his hand on the tea table on the way.
"Let me see." He said, picking up a cup of black tea and coming behind Elena.
Just as he was about to sip the cup of black tea to quench his thirst, Elena's painting caught his eye and took his breath away.
He is lifelike in the painting, as if he is looking in a mirror. Every muscle line is clearly visible. Even the holy sword hidden by the handkerchief is perfectly outlined with full details!
His eyes widened, his heart filled with amazement: Is Elena a human camera?
While Su Xuan was immersed in the shock of Elena's paintings, anger burned on Elena's face.
Because Su Xuan did not notice that the teacup in her hand had lost balance, and the tea happened to drip, wetting her head and upper body.
"Damn man! You made me wet!"
"Ahem~ My, my." Su Xuan apologized hurriedly, and quickly picked up the handkerchief on the table and handed it to Elena.
Elena tried her best to control her anger and wiped the tea stains off her cheeks with a handkerchief. However, when she was halfway through wiping, she suddenly realized that something was wrong...
"Ah! Bastard! Bug! Stinky pig!"
"It's gone!"
…
At 7:30 in the evening, Su Xuan arrived at the Holy Bird Tower next to the Elf Palace on time.
The area of Shengquetai is vast and boundless, with the ground paved with white marble and inlaid with emerald green jade. It sparkles with bright lights under the moonlight, as if the stars have fallen to the earth.
According to the historical records of the elves, this is the area where the elves perform sacrifices. They believe in the goddess of nature and the goddess of elements.
However, this is not a forbidden area, so Su Xuan was able to enter easily.
"Where is the Elf Queen?"
Su Xuan looked around, trying to find the Elf Queen.
At this moment, a fairy-like figure descended from the sky and slowly landed in the center of the Holy Sparrow Terrace.
“She’s coming!”
Su Xuan's eyes instantly became solemn, staring closely at the Elf Queen in the distance. Her holiness made everything around her pale in comparison, even the moonlight became bright at this moment, just to set off her otherworldly temperament.
Su Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but be moved.
It felt like he had encountered a shiny Pokémon, and he couldn't wait to capture it with the Poké Ball in his hand!
At this moment, the voice of the Elf Queen came into his ears like a faint orchid in the valley: "Since you are here, why are you hiding?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan walked out of the darkness.
"It's you, little guy~"
The moment the Elf Queen saw Su Xuan, a friendly smile appeared on her face, like the warm sun in winter, making people feel warm in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, Queen of the Elf, I have something I want to ask you."
Su Xuan walked up to the Elf Queen and spoke calmly.
"I understand your intentions."
The Elf Queen smiled softly and continued, "You have already promised the other me, right?"
"Yes."
Su Xuan nodded.
"Although this matter has nothing to do with you directly, I sincerely hope that you can lend a hand and make a fair judgment on this matter."
[New Quest: The Elf Queen's Request (2/2)]
[Task Description: In order to suppress the evil thoughts in her heart, the Elf Queen split her soul into two. Please help her make the right decision! ]
[Task Reward:? ]
Su Xuan looked at the task description and had a guess in his mind, "Is it to determine which elf queen was transformed by evil thoughts?"
At this time, the voice of the Elf Queen sounded again.
"Thousands of years ago, because of an incident, a trace of evil thoughts grew in my heart." The Elf Queen revealed the secret hidden deep in her heart to Su Xuan, "I thought it was just a trivial matter, but after thousands of years of accumulation, that trace of evil thoughts is gradually eroding my soul."
"For this reason, I came up with a method, which is to separate a part of my soul. In this way, I hope to use the separated soul to suppress the evil thoughts. At first, this method seemed to be effective, but as time went on, the evil thoughts gradually grew stronger. I found that even in this way, I could not suppress it completely, and it caused me to need to sleep every hundred years to restore my strength and balance."
Su Xuan heard this and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
This didn't seem to be what he had imagined. Were both of them real elf queens?
"So, I decided to seal part of my soul along with that evil thought in the Elf Mother Tree forever." The Elf Queen continued, "With the power of the Elf Mother Tree, I will purify the evil thought."
"If we only need to separate a part of the soul, it doesn't seem that difficult to decide, right?" Su Xuan felt a little confused. After all, the control of the soul is in the hands of the subject.
How can a separated soul resist the will of the original body?
The Elf Queen explained: "Due to the growing evil thoughts, the soul I separated is close to half of the original body, and our cognition, experience and emotions are exactly the same, so there is no difference between the original body and the clone. But now we need someone who is willing to be sealed in the Elf Mother Tree for hundreds or thousands of years to purify the evil thoughts in his heart. Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Xuan nodded, "I understand. So, you want me to make a choice for you and decide which one is more suitable to manage the current elves?"
"Um."
The Elf Queen smiled and nodded, and said gently, "You don't have to feel any pressure. We have already reached an agreement. Moreover, even if I am sealed in the Elf Mother Tree, I am just falling into a deep sleep. The long years are just a moment in my eyes, so you don't need to worry about me being sealed."
After hearing this, Su Xuan pondered for a long time.
For the Elf Queen, sleeping for hundreds or thousands of years may be just a brief moment in her life.
But for other elves or humans, that may have been a historical change, tantamount to death.
He finally understood why he had to make a choice between the two. Obviously, there had to be an elf queen willing to give up everything to seal the evil thoughts growing in her heart.
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
Su Xuan suddenly remembered the four endings in the task prefix description.
However, the Elf Queen only offered him two endings, which confused him.
Where are the other two endings?
After he thought deeply, he suddenly realized.
Obviously, his participation became an unknown factor, expanding the original two endings to four!
"Do I need to make a decision immediately?" Su Xuan asked.
"No need. You have one month to contact me." The Elf Queen shook her head. "We will appear in your dreams in turn. Due to the influence of evil thoughts, we will be slightly different. By then, I hope you can use these details to lure the queen who is more inclined to evil thoughts to seal. Of course, you can also use your own method to make a choice."
"I understand." Su Xuan nodded, and then asked, "Can I ask why you chose me?"
"I can't let the elves make the decision for me, because that would be tantamount to forcing them to make the most painful choice." The Elf Queen replied immediately, "And, for some reason, I always feel that you are very kind."
"kind?"
"Well, it's like we have known each other for a long time." The Elf Queen nodded gently, with a gentle and bright light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
“…”
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking secretly, could it be because of the effect of the [Mother-in-law Killer] entry? After all, this entry gave him an additional increase against units with higher age and charm values, and the effect on "mother-in-law" units was doubled, and it could be stacked infinitely.
On second thought, it seems that the Elf Queen’s buffs are all maxed out?
No wonder I was able to obtain so much information about her, it turned out to be due to this reason.
"Since the Queen trusts me so much, I will naturally do my best to present a satisfactory answer to the Queen!" Su Xuan replied with a smile.
"That's great~"
The Elf Queen smiled sweetly, then gracefully stretched out her hand, with a faint light flickering in her palm. Then, a light pink pearl appeared in her palm like a dream, crystal clear and emitting charming light.
"This is my gift to you, little one~" The Elf Queen's voice was soft and warm, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Su Xuan looked at the light pink pearl in the Elf Queen's hand curiously, and immediately received a message.
[Pearl of the Elf Queen (Epic): A unique pearl that contains the power of protection of the Elf Queen. (One-time use)]
A disposable prop?
"Thanks."
Su Xuan took the light pink pearl from the Elf Queen's hand and felt its delicate and smooth texture, which seemed to have a calming effect. In addition, it also exuded a refreshing fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.
"It's almost time. I should go." The Elf Queen looked up at the bright moon hanging on the branches and said gently, saying her final goodbye.
"Wait! One last question!" Su Xuan asked hurriedly, "What will happen to you if you are affected by evil thoughts?"
"this……"
The Elf Queen hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled gently, "Who knows~"
At the moment the words fell, the Elf Queen seemed to blend into the vast moonlight, gracefully and mysteriously disappearing without a trace. Su Xuan was left alone, looking up at the bright moonlight that sprinkled the earth, his heart was like a surging sea, with thousands of emotions intertwined and lingering.
After a long time, he came to his senses, activated the teleportation array, and disappeared in a flash of light, returning to the guild.
Su Xuan returned to the guild, sat in a chair with his eyes blank, obviously still recalling the conversation with the Elf Queen, especially the four puzzling endings.
Fall in one? Give up on both?
Or...I want them all! (End of this chapter)
