Chapter 573 You must submit to the royal court
Xirui and the others did not arrive at Oslo Port until noon. Just as they had moored their ship, a pale golden-haired elven girl appeared with several young elven boys.
After the light golden-haired elven girl clearly saw the flag of the Grand Pioneer Administration at the top of the mast, she immediately jumped up and down to ask.
"My name is Haina. Are you Prince Qin Mo's people? Are you here to pick me up?"
Xi Rui smiled and said, "How do you know we are Princess Qin Mo's people?"
Hena carefully took out a small bag from her bosom. Inside was a hand-drawn illustration. "This was given to me by His Highness the Prince. He told me that when I saw a ship flying this flag, it meant it was one of our own and he could take me home!"
When she said the word "home", Haina's tears fell silently. At that time, Qin Mo was still cultivating in the Holy Temple and could not take Haina away. Haina's strength was not enough to safely reach Dayuan on her own, so she had no choice but to temporarily stay in this peaceful land.
Haina is very strong-willed. For the past two years, she has lived independently in Oslo, teaching the boys the combat skills of the Elven race. A happy smile is always on her face, but countless times she wakes up in the middle of the night with tears streaming down her face. Qin Mo's promise to "go home" is a dream that lingers in her heart.
"Can I see that picture?"
Xirui took the pattern from Haina's hand. The free and unrestrained doodles were clearly the work of some elf with a "lack of artistic heritage." The crooked and distorted appearance made Xirui burst out laughing.
"Can... I have it back?" Haina stared longingly at the parchment in Xirui's hand, as if it were a priceless treasure worthy of being passed down through generations.
Siri carefully rolled up the parchment and returned it to Haina, opening his arms and saying, "Welcome, Haina! From now on, Da Yuan is your home!"
"And... what about them? This place is surrounded by orc territory, food is scarce, they're always hungry..."
Feeling the hopeful gazes around him, Xi Rui smiled and said, "As long as you are willing, Da Yuan welcomes you. We have enough territory and food."
Siri wasn't particularly strong, but Kabul treated her with the courtesy due to a VIP. Elves have long lifespans, and Oslo City often sees free elves who can no longer endure the oppression of the orcs coming to join them, but the number of elves in the city hasn't increased much in recent years.
Oslo is a peaceful land, but food has always been scarce. To get enough to eat, one must hunt far and wide, only to be hunted by orcs and their former kin. Now, the great elven race has expressed their willingness to accept them, which is even more exciting than meeting the envoys of the elven royal court.
The royal court was only there to intimidate the orcs and prevent the holy land from being defiled; they had no concern for how these abandoned elves would survive. The Great Elf race, however, provided them with what they needed most: food, hunting grounds, and freedom.
Kabur brought out the food he had prepared for the winter, along with the few remaining bottles of fine wine, and lit a celebratory bonfire. All the elves were excited about their bright future.
At this moment, Nelia appeared and sternly questioned Cabel about Qin Mo, instantly turning the originally lively scene into a tense one.
"May I ask which clan you belong to, and what business do you have with Princess Qin Mo?"
When Xirui was young, she came to Xizhou with Luna and then went to live in Dayuan. As an ordinary elf, she had never entered the Elf Royal Court and had an innate awe of the Elf Royal Court in her heart, and her tone was somewhat humble.
"Chief of the Silvermoon Clan, Queen Nelia of the Elves, requests an audience with your Prince!"
Nelia speaks to ordinary elves in a completely different way than she does in the Moon Palace; she is arrogant, indifferent, and exudes an aura of superiority from her tall figure.
"The Silver Moon Clan... Isn't the chieftain of the Silver Moon Clan Lord Nysius, the Elf King?"
Although Xi Rui had never been to the Royal Court, she was still aware of the three major powers within the shrewd Royal Court: the Silver Moon, Azure Moon, and Dawn Moon clans, all of whom possessed royal blood. Emperor Achilles was the patriarch of the Dawn Moon clan.
Back then, Ner'zhul led the seven orc races to besiege Oslo. A bloody battle nearly wiped out the Azure Moon Clan, whose territory was in Stockholm, and the Dawn Moon Clan also lost more than half of its members and strongmen. Only the Silver Moon Clan maintained its strength and led the royal court away from the Western Continent to live in seclusion at sea.
Now, a young female elf was claiming to be the chieftain of the Silvermoon Clan, and even the Elf King. Xi Rui found it hard to believe.
According to the laws of the Elven race, each of the three royal families selects a Saint-level powerhouse to be crowned king and enter the royal court to become a decision-maker, jointly managing all affairs of the Elven race. They rarely leave the royal court.
But now the Silvermoon Elf King has appeared in the Western Continent. What is he up to? The thousand-year alliance is about to expire, is the Elf Royal Court going to return to fight?
“Nysius is my father, but now I am the Elf King of the Royal Court. According to the Elf Code, anyone with Elf blood must submit to the Royal Court. Do you... have any more questions?”
Looking at the dignified and aloof Nelia, Xirui was speechless. The Elven Codex did indeed contain such a law, but there was a preceding clause: "The bloodline of the Elven race is noble and must not be violated; violators will be punished!"
Now that the Elven Royal Court has fled overseas, the remaining elves in the world have suffered endless hardships but have nowhere to seek justice. The Elven Royal Court is no longer able to fulfill its promises and cannot provide the elves with the protection they deserve. Xirui and the others are thinking of rebuilding the Royal Court in Dayuan.
But now that Nelia has suddenly appeared and is demanding that Qin Mo and the others unconditionally submit to the royal court again, Xi Rui feels that this is very unreasonable.
