Chapter 371 Parslo's Ritual! Su Xuan's abnormal moment?
"Su Xuan," Ni Lu approached quietly, her eyes revealing a bit of curiosity, "Why did you come here with Princess Elena?"
Su Xuan shifted his gaze from Paslo and Princess Elena who were talking in the cabin, and turned to look at Ni Lu, "I was asked by someone."
"Is it the Elf Queen?" Nilu asked softly, and there seemed to be some complicated emotions hidden in her voice.
"Yeah." Su Xuan answered frankly, with no intention of hiding anything from Ni Lu.
Upon hearing this, Nilu lowered her head slightly. Her deep dark purple eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, as if she was thinking about something.
"Do you... still hold grudges against the Elf Queen?" Su Xuan asked Ni Lu with some concern.
"resentment?"
Nilu pondered for a moment, then shook her head and replied with a somewhat indifferent tone: "Compared to hatred, what we don't understand is why she abandoned us so cruelly after using us."
"Do you all think so? But the truth may not be so." Su Xuan frowned when he heard Ni Lu's words.
He didn't expect that the dark elves would think that the Elf Queen was using them and then ruthlessly abandon them.
"I don't fully understand the truth, because I am not one of the original dark elves." Nilu continued, "But this is the source of Lady Parslo's sadness. We just want to fight for her!"
“…”
Su Xuan fell silent in response to Ni Lu's addition.
He gradually understood the source of the conflict between the elves and the dark elves, which was probably due to the disagreement between the Elf Queen and the Dark Elf leader, Parslo.
They used to be good friends who could talk about anything, but because of certain things, they split up and eventually formed two ethnic groups: elves and dark elves.
Of course, Dark Elves are far fewer in number than regular Elves, accounting for only about three percent of the total.
But they have powerful combat power, which is about 20% stronger than elves of the same level.
What is more worth mentioning is that as the level increases, the gap in combat power becomes more and more obvious.
A dark elf above level 80 may even be able to rival two normal elves of the same level.
But this powerful force is not without price. The mental state of the dark elves will gradually become strange, and finally turn into madness.
But regarding this point, Su Xuan felt extremely strange.
His gaze inadvertently shifted to Parslo who was talking to Elena, and a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.
Because Paslo's character does not match the description of the dark elf at all.
As a level 94 dark elf, she is only a step away from the realm of demigod. Normally, a dark elf of this level should go crazy because of her power.
But what is puzzling is that Paslo showed unexpected calmness and gentleness, an elegance and composure that can even be compared with the Elf Queen.
"That's right! Su Xuan!"
Ni Lu suddenly interrupted his thoughts. She held Su Xuan's hand tightly and begged, "Can you please do me a favor?"
"What help? Tell me." Su Xuan responded.
"Lord Paslo's current condition still requires the elemental divine fluid of the Elf Mother Tree to be treated, so I hope you can help us! Of course! I will definitely reward you generously!" Although Nilu's tone was sincere, her eyes showed a hint of uneasiness that was difficult to conceal.
Obviously, the poor dark elves could not offer a reward of equal value to the elemental divine fluid of the Elf Mother Tree.
"I will do my best."
Su Xuan nodded and agreed to Ni Lu's request, but he did not see the information about accepting the task appear.
He guessed that this might be because Nilu was currently unable to provide the reward for the task immediately and needed some time to prepare.
"Very good!"
When Ni Lu heard Su Xuan's response, a bright smile appeared on her face. At the same time, she added with a hint of apology, "Please rest assured, I will collect the reward as soon as possible. If I really can't collect it..."
She bit her lower lip and said firmly, "I am willing to be your servant and work like an ox or a horse!"
"Ahem~ That's not necessary."
Su Xuan quickly waved his hand to decline, the reward was a bit too high.
"That won't work. We elves will never betray our oath." Ni Lu shook her head vigorously, as if she was looking forward to becoming Su Xuan's cattle and horses.
Su Xuan couldn't help but feel a little curious. What kind of reward would Ni Lu give him? Then he asked, "What do you want to reward me with?"
Nilu smiled slightly, with a confident light in her eyes, "I won't tell you now, but I promise that you will be satisfied."
"?"
"Su Xuan!"
Just then, Elena walked up to the two of them and interrupted their conversation.
Su Xuan turned to look at Elena and asked, "Have you conveyed the Elf Queen's words to Parslo?"
"Um."
Elena nodded, glanced coldly at Nilu standing beside her, then chuckled and said, "Parslo needs some time to think about it. We can return to the Elf Kingdom now."
"Then let's go back." Su Xuan responded, preparing to return with Elena.
However, just as he was about to leave, Elena suddenly stopped Su Xuan, with a mysterious smile on her face, "Hey~ You can't go back so soon~"
"?"
Su Xuan's face was full of confusion, and he didn't quite understand what Elena meant.
"You need to stay and help Paslo stabilize the seal." Elena smiled and gently poked Su Xuan's nose with her fingertips.
"I?"
Su Xuan asked in surprise. He originally thought that he had come to the Dark Forbidden Forest with Elena, but he was asked to stay here specially? To help Paslo stabilize the seal?
"Yes, you are the best choice." Elena smiled slightly, with a mischievous light flashing in her eyes, "Originally, this task should have been completed by me, but since you are here, it is naturally most appropriate for you to do it."
Su Xuan still found it a little unbelievable. He looked at Paslo who walked out of the wooden house.
Parslo also gave him a gentle look and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, President Su Xuan."
"Oh well……"
Although Su Xuan had his doubts, he still agreed to stabilize the seal for Parslo.
At the same time, he guessed that the seal in Paslo's body should be related to the forbidden power of the Elf Mother Tree.
And this seal may be the key to helping Paslo stabilize her emotions, so that she does not go crazy after becoming a dark elf.
"Then we'll leave first~Come on, President Su Xuan~"
After saying goodbye to Su Xuan, Elena and the elven guards sat on the leaves of the elven mother tree, preparing to leave the Dark Forbidden Forest.
This made Su Xuan's face suddenly become gloomy. He always felt that he was being betrayed? "By the way~"
Before leaving, Elena turned around and shouted to Su Xuan, "If you see Jie Lan, say hello to her for me."
"Jie Lan?"
Just as Su Xuan was about to ask Elena who the Jie Lan she was talking about, the leaves of the Elf Mother Tree flew high into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
And the next moment, a group of dark elves suddenly surrounded Su Xuan.
At this time, Parslo leaned over and said to Su Xuan with a smile: "The seal will begin at six in the evening. While you are waiting, why don't you let the dark elves take you around our tribe?"
"Okay."
Su Xuan nodded. It was a good opportunity for him to take this opportunity to learn more about the dark elves.
There are two conditions that can save the Elf Kingdom, one of which is to allow the Dark Elves to return to the Elf Kingdom.
Although it was unclear what specific information the Elf Queen had conveyed to Parslo from Elena, Su Xuan's intuition told him that this was unlikely to directly lead to reconciliation between the Dark Elves and the Elf Kingdom.
Therefore, he understood that he needed to take the initiative and find a more appropriate way to accomplish these two conditions.
"Then let me show Su Xuan around the tribe! Is that okay? Lord Parslo!"
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
Ni Lu raised her hand and volunteered to lead the way for Su Xuan.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Nilu." Parslo smiled and nodded, then turned to Su Xuan and said gently, "Have a good time."
As the words fell, Parslo walked into the wooden house surrounded by many dark elves.
"Then~ Su Xuan, let's go!" Ni Lu immediately took Su Xuan's hand and prepared to take him to visit the tribe where the dark elves lived.
"Um."
As dusk fell, Su Xuan, under the guidance of Nilu, visited the living and activity areas of the dark elves, which gave him a deeper understanding of the habits of the dark elves.
Unlike ordinary elves, dark elves prefer to live in darkness.
Moreover, the dark elves often suffer from headaches due to the power of corruption.
In order to relieve the symptoms, they would choose to enter the dark spring and bathe.
This dark spring is somewhat similar to the forest spring in the Elf Kingdom, and contains the elemental power of the Dark Forbidden Forest.
But the spring water has a silver-gray luster, which is similar to the skin tone of Paslo, just slightly duller.
Su Xuan asked Ni Lu about the origin of the Dark Spring, but Ni Lu knew very little about it.
She only knew that this place called the "Dark Forbidden Forest" was the habitat that Paslo had found for the dark elves, and it was also where Paslo had led the dark elves.
In addition, during the visit, Su Xuan also explained to Evesa and the others why he did not come to the guild and arranged the next tasks.
Led by Lucia and Roseline, everyone will complete a C-level mission and three daily commissions.
"It's almost time. We have to return to the tribe and start the sealing ceremony." Ni Lu looked at the sky and reminded Su Xuan.
"How often does it take to stabilize Paslo's seal?" Su Xuan asked Ni Lu as they walked.
"Lady Parslo needs to stabilize the seal every three days!" Nilu answered seriously, "So, unless there is something particularly important, she usually won't leave the tribe. But today's situation is a little special!"
"special?"
"Uh-huh!"
Nilu nodded and further explained: "The tribesmen are preparing the Dark Flower, which is usually only used when Lord Parslo needs to leave the Dark Forbidden Forest."
"?"
Su Xuan was thoughtful when he heard this.
That is to say, the Elf Queen asked Elena to convey that she wanted to meet with Parslo? But this raises the question, why did she let him stay in the Dark Elf Tribe? To supervise? Just as he was wondering, they had already returned to the Dark Elf Tribe.
Parslo was seen kneeling under a giant tree, surrounded by dark flowers. These flowers emitted a faint glow under the night sky, adding a bit of beauty to the whole ceremony.
Nilu walked forward and asked the other dark elves softly, "Is the ceremony about to begin?"
"Um."
A dark elf nodded with a slightly worried look and said, "But Jielan hasn't come back yet. We really don't know who should preside over the ceremony to secure the seal for Lord Parslo."
"Jie Lan hasn't come back yet?" Ni Lu's expression instantly became solemn when she heard this.
"Maybe she encountered some trouble on the way, so she was delayed." Another elf guessed.
Jielan is the strongest among the dark elves after Paslo. Due to the special and sudden nature of this seal, she did not return on time, which made the dark elves feel a little uneasy.
Just as everyone was discussing and at a loss, Parslo's voice came slowly. She stared at Su Xuan and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. Didn't Princess Elena leave a suitable candidate for us? I think~President Su Xuan can help me stabilize the seal smoothly."
"Su Xuan?"
"That human?"
The dark elves all turned their eyes to Su Xuan, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
Su Xuan suddenly realized at this moment that the reason why Elena asked him to stay was not accidental. She seemed to have foreseen that Jie Lan would not be able to return to the tribe on time.
"Please come to my side, okay?"
Paslo's voice gently waved to Su Xuan, indicating him to enter the ritual area surrounded by dark flowers.
Su Xuan did not hesitate and followed her instructions, walking steadily to Parslo.
The moment he stopped, a dark magical power rose rapidly like a curtain of night, tightly wrapping him and Paslo.
The dark elves from the outside world sat down on the ground one after another, quietly waiting for the result of the ceremony.
Su Xuan looked at Parslo in front of him and asked doubtfully, "What do you need me to do?"
"Please wait a moment."
Paslo nodded slightly, took a step back, and came under the giant tree.
Then, the giant tree stretched out several vines, like iron chains, and gently wrapped around Paslo's limbs.
At the same time, the white bandages wrapped around Parslo began to slide off, revealing her skin that was as dazzling as the galaxy.
This scene made Su Xuan frown slightly, but a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
And, a question arose in his mind: Why do we have to take off clothes during this ceremony? At this moment, Parslo's voice with a hint of apology came into his ears: "I may become a little strange later. During the process, please make sure to let me stay awake."
"Of course, you can use whatever means you think is appropriate~"
As soon as he finished speaking, sharp weapons of various shapes and sizes appeared beside Su Xuan...
