Chapter 591 Tree of Life
Nelia finally understood how petty her cousin Qin Mo was. Several elders from the Elven Royal Court hadn't come to Chexi City to greet them, and Qin Mo actually proposed to kill them. Judging from his confident manner, Nelia really couldn't tell if Qin Mo was serious or joking.
"Qin Mo, since the incident at the temple, the Royal Court's power has been weakening. We can no longer afford to engage in pointless internal strife. Once we arrive at the Royal Court, I will make them apologize to you."
"An apology is nothing, it's too weak, and they might not even welcome us! Let me tell you this first: if they give me a hard time, I will not submit to the royal court!"
“You are a member of my Silver Moon Clan. Anyone who dares to give you attitude is giving me attitude, and I will teach them a lesson.”
Nelia spoke very solemnly, so Qin Mo stopped arguing. She always had to give face to her own family. As for whether the royal court would accept her, that was not important. She would just leave immediately after saving her adoptive mother. At most, she would take care of those troublesome elders when she left.
Qin Mo had already found out that all the Saint-level experts in the royal court, except for Nelia, had entered the core area of the temple. The few elders who were not Saint-level were really no match for his ambush.
"Your Majesty, how should the cargo on the ship be moved, and where should it be moved to?"
At this point, Beren instructed several elven tribal chiefs and elders about unloading the cargo, and they came forward to inquire respectfully.
"Transport it to the royal court..."
"These goods are very sturdy, but they need to be protected from fire and lightning. You know what lightning protection means? It means you absolutely mustn't get struck by lightning. As for where to transport them? Of course, they'll be transported to the Silver Moon Clan! These are all gifts I'm giving to the Silver Moon Clan!"
Nelia had barely uttered half a sentence when Qin Mo interrupted her, immediately turning the faces of the elven leaders upturned. "We are consulting with our king, what are you doing interrupting us?"
"Kusen, do as he says! I'll allocate them properly!" Nelia waved her hand, giving the order without room for argument.
The elven leaders were somewhat taken aback. Princess Nelia was not a merciful person. In the past, if anyone dared to interrupt her like this, she would make sure to give them a good beating.
Now that everyone sees that Nelia doesn't hold a grudge against Qin Mo for his offense and has even changed her mind, they exchange glances and understand that they should be careful with this round-eared kid in the future, because he's Nelia's crony!
Unlike the port of Da Yuan, the port of Cheshire has sophisticated hoisting equipment, so unloading can only be done manually.
The elves split into five columns, boarding the official's steam-powered sailing ship one by one from the bow, carrying various military equipment and goods down the gangway at the stern, and then, under the instructions of the tribal chief, slowly entered the jungle and headed towards the Silvermoon tribe's encampment.
"Nelia, why are these children carrying such heavy loads and such a long distance? Is the tribe starting to run out of able-bodied men?"
Qin Mo noticed that most of the elves who came to move the goods were elderly, weak, women, and children. Because there were so many goods, even the underage teenagers had to carry or shoulder the weight of one or two hundred pounds, and they were swaying and struggling when they went down the gangway.
"There are still enough able-bodied men in the tribe, but they have to take turns fighting. After each battle, their bodies will be eroded by evil forces, and they will need a long time to recover. So, they can't be allowed to do this kind of hard and tiring work anymore!"
"When a crisis comes, all the elves need to contribute their strength; hardship will help them grow faster!"
Nelia's expression was very calm, and her eyes were indifferent, but Qin Mo always felt that there was a deep helplessness hidden in the depths of her eyes.
"Let's go! Let's lend a hand!"
Qin Mo entered the cargo hold, picked up two boxes containing the complete set of Maxim parts, and climbed out of the cargo hold and down to the shore with a group of old elves and elf children.
Nelia followed behind Qin Mo. When Qin Mo picked up the dirty box, she wanted to stop him, but the great elf Allen followed Qin Mo without hesitation and picked up the barrel of a 57mm mountain gun. Nelia hesitated for a moment, then picked up the rest of the gun carriage and carried it ashore by its two wheels.
The great elf took the cannon carriage and wheels, quickly assembled the cannon, and then pulled the cannon carriage with one hand, chasing after Qin Mo's retreating figure.
"Allen, is this how you've been teaching Qin Mo since she was little? How can a member of the royal family do manual labor like a commoner?" Nelia caught up with Allen and scolded him angrily.
"No, it was Qin Mo who taught me. He said that while we can enjoy the privileges of nobility at times, we must also set aside our pride and share the joys and sorrows with our people at other times!" the great elf said sullenly, still vividly remembering the scene of Qin Mo giving him a long lecture.
“And… I think what he said makes a lot of sense!” the archel added.
Nelia watched Qin Mo's figure, sighed inwardly, and stepped forward, reaching out to grab a box and tossing it onto her thin shoulder.
"Oh? Nelia, aren't you afraid of getting your exquisite Elf King's dress dirty?" Qin Mo looked at the Elf King beside her and teased him with a mischievous smile.
"Your clothes are nice too! I've never seen you care about them." Nelia retorted to Qin Mo with displeasure, and casually moved the suitcase to make herself more comfortable.
Nelia's every move touched the hearts of the elves. When she put aside the coldness of the Elf King and integrated into the lives of ordinary people, the elves felt a warm temperament from her that was completely different from before.
