An hour later, Xiao Chen and others returned to the winery.
From a distance, you can see that the winery has been destroyed and many places have turned into ruins.
"king……"
Roald appeared, knelt on one knee when he saw the Elf Queen.
"Please punish me, my king. I failed to protect the princess and caused her to get hurt."
"Father……"
Joan looked at the Elf King with red eyes.
After the battle just now, she thought that she would never see her father and... Xiao Chen again.
"Joan..."
The Elf King took a few quick steps and looked at his precious daughter carefully. He saw that her face was pale and she was obviously seriously injured.
"How are you?"
"Father, I'm fine... Uncle Roald is still kneeling."
Joan shook her head and looked at Roald, who was kneeling on one knee.
"Uncle Roald was seriously injured in order to protect me..."
"Um."
The Elf King nodded, let go of June, and patted Roald on the shoulder.
"Get up, it's not your fault... On the contrary, you risked your life to protect Joan, I should thank you."
"King, you are serious. It is my duty to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Roald shook his head.
"Come to think of it, my life was also saved by Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"oh?"
Hearing this, the Elf King was very surprised. What was going on?
Even though Joan has returned to his original form and his strength has greatly improved, he is still unable to fight against the giants, let alone save Roald.
"It's like this..."
Roald gave a brief report.
On the other side, Xiao Chen also came to Hong Yi: "How is it? Where are you injured?"
"It's okay now. I've bandaged it."
Hong Yi shook her head.
"Master, what about you?"
"Me? It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Xiao Chen said as he took out two pills and handed them to Hong Yi.
"Come, eat."
"good."
Hong responded and took the pill obediently.
Only after Jianhong took the pill did Xiao Chen look at Qiong.
It’s not that he doesn’t care about Joan, but the Elf King is there and it’s not his turn at all.
Just at this moment, Joan also looked over.
"Give."
Xiao Chen came to Qiong, took out the pill and handed it over.
He didn't ask any more questions like whether he was injured or where he was injured.
He heard everything the Elf King asked just now.
"Well, I thought...I'd never see you again."
Qiong took it and swallowed it, looking at Xiao Chen, her eyes becoming even redder.
There were some things she couldn't tell her father, but she could tell Xiao Chen.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I not see you?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Well, you are worthy of being the daughter of my Elf King."
The Elf King next to him suddenly said something and smiled.
Xiao Chen was a little confused. What did Roald say to the Elf King?
"Your Majesty the Pope..."
Paul had also met the Dark Pope, and there was a hint of guilt on his face.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Arthur was also scared. Fortunately, nothing happened to Qiong and Hongyi, otherwise... it would be a big deal.
He couldn't explain to Amaterasu and the Spirit King.
Then, everyone walked inside.
People like Xue Chunqiu did not follow, but dispersed to heal their wounds.
In today's battle, almost everyone was injured.
"Sister Luo Lin, how is your injury?"
Hong Yi and Qiong came up to Rowling and asked with concern.
"fine."
Rowling looked at the two women. She could see that their concern came from the heart.
This made her feel warm in her heart, and her previous thoughts of sticking together faded a lot.
Soon, everyone sat down and Paul reported what happened at the winery.
"It's a pity that Obentz and his group left. If there were more giants, they could be kept."
Roald shook his head.
"We encountered them on the road, and they died."
The Elf King said slowly.
"Um?"
Roald was stunned for a moment.
"King, did you kill them?"
"How can I let them live if they dare to hurt my daughter?"
The Elf King nodded.
"It was just their bad luck that they ran into us."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"By the way, Mr. Roald, it's really rare that you and Mr. Paul can hold them off."
"Um."
Roald nodded.
"I almost died with them..."
Speaking of this, Roald still felt a little scared. If the news from the City of Light had been half a minute later, he might have died.
"It's also thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess that they were shocked..."
Paul looked at Joan, his words filled with admiration and respect.
This admiration and respect is not because Joan is the princess of the elves.
After all, with his strength, he is very close to being a giant and his status is also very high.
But it was what Joan did that made him admire her from the bottom of his heart.
In addition, Joan not only saved Roald, but also saved him in disguise.
He has to acknowledge this great favor.
"hehe."
Although the Elf King had just heard Roald's story, he was still very happy and satisfied when he heard Paul, an outsider, say it again.
He became more and more satisfied with this future Elf King.
His love for Joan was not only because of her return to her ancestors, but also because of many other reasons.
Xiao Chen and others also looked at Qiong, all of them were somewhat surprised.
It is hard to imagine that in such a crisis, Joan would have such courage and determination!
"Joan, you are very brave and wise."
Arthur looked at June and praised.
He glanced at his son Selro, then at Xiao Chen, and shook his head slightly.
If Qiong had nothing to do with Xiao Chen, he would want to think about it for his son.
Now... forget it.
“I just did what I was supposed to do.”
Joan said modestly.
"If Selro were here, he would make the same choice as me."
Selro was startled when he heard Joan mention him, then he puffed out his chest slightly. After all, it was a compliment to himself.
"Selro? Haha, he needs more practice."
Arthur smiled, feeling even more regretful.
If he didn't know that Qiong's mind was on Xiao Chen, based on these words, he would have suspected that Qiong had a good impression of Selro.
“They are all extremely outstanding young people.”
The Elf King laughed.
"The future era belongs to them... Arthur, we are old."
"yes."
Arthur nodded.
After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and went to heal their wounds.
"Where's Oak?"
Xiao Chen asked Hong Yi.
"I had it carried into the room."
Hong Yi replied.
"Not awake yet?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"How cruelly did you hit me?"
"Well, I used too much strength. I forgot he was a normal person."
Hong Yi was a little embarrassed.
"I really admire Hong Yi. He knocked Oak out so easily."
Joan laughed.
"At that time, I was a little helpless with Oak."
"Haha, you are all amazing."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Come on, take me to see Oak."
"good."
Hong nodded.
"Law Lin, go and rest first."
Xiao Chen looked at Luo Lin again.
"I'll go and heal your wounds later."
"good."
Rowling nodded and licked her red lips.
"I'll wait for you in the room."
“…”
Xiao Chen looked at Luo Lin's actions and couldn't help but touch his wrist... Was this woman trying to suck his blood again?
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen saw Ou Ke, who was unconscious, in the room.
"Mr. Roald said that he knew our identities... At that time, we probably wanted to escape."
Hong Yi looked at Ou Ke and said to Xiao Chen.
"Yeah, I thought of that, too."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"No matter what, he has the courage to come back, which is rare and precious..."
"Yeah, thanks to him coming back to remind us, otherwise we might not have made it to the end."
Joan also said.
"Speaking of which, he saved our lives."
"I saved his daughter, and he saved you... This is fate, I guess."
Xiao Chen also felt a little emotional.
"I just felt a little sympathy at the time and helped him out, but I didn't expect that this kind act would be rewarded."
"Um."
Hongyi and Qiong both nodded.
Xiao Chen stepped forward, and with his fingers like swords, he stabbed Ou Ke several times.
Soon, Oak opened his eyes.
He was a little confused, feeling a bit like "Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?"
He remembered that he was in the wine cellar, and then... was knocked unconscious by that woman?
"You're awake."
Xiao Chen looked at Ouke, who looked confused, and spoke with a smile.
"Su...Lord Su?"
Hearing the voice, Ou Ke's gaze fell on Xiao Chen and his eyes suddenly widened.
Thinking of something, he sat up in surprise.
"Haha, don't you know my real identity? My name is Xiao Chen."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you my real identity because of something that happened before."
"No, nothing."
Ouke shook his head quickly, then he thought of something and his expression changed.
"People from the Holy See of Light..."
"They have retreated."
Hong Yi said.
"Retreat... retreat?"
Ou Ke looked at Hong Yi, then suddenly thought of something and touched his aching neck.
“You…you…”
"Sorry for knocking you out."
Hong felt a little embarrassed when she saw Oak pointing at her.
"I apologize."
“No… no need.”
Ou Ke shook his head, looked at Xiao Chen, Hong Yi and Qiong in front of him, and took a few deep breaths.
"Have the people from the Holy See of Light really retreated?"
"Well, not only did they retreat, they died."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"What? Dead...dead?"
Oak, who had just calmed down, suddenly widened his eyes again.
"right."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“It’s safe here now.”
"Oh oh...you...you guys..."
Ou Ke looked at Xiao Chen and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"When did you know that I was not from the Holy See of Light?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Ah? I... Sir Xiao, I didn't mean to know..."
Ouke's face changed and he said quickly.
"Yeah, I know. It's okay. I'm not angry, and I won't do anything to you. I'm just a little curious."
Xiao Chen soothed.
"Yes...it was last night."
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Ou Ke was not so scared anymore.
"I accidentally heard someone in the winery say it."
"Did they reveal my identity?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"No, no, they said..."
When Ou Ke thought of that sentence, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Obviously, in his opinion, that was outrageous.
"They say...the God of Light is a son of a bitch."
