Chapter 270 269. Sword Saint's Mouth
The heart of Ithildrin, the palace of the elves.
The entire elven city is built around it like the moon surrounded by stars, and the Elf King lives in the depths of this magnificent building flowing with magical light.
Although they are honored as "kings", the inheritance of power among the elves is not hereditary bloodline, but is closer to a system of "succession by the wise".
The successor must be designated by the previous Elf King and approved by the Council of Elders before he can ascend the throne.
Therefore, the elves only have "King" or "Queen", but no titles such as "Prince" or "Princess".
If we really implement a hereditary system, I'm afraid we'll see the spectacle of a 'thousand-year-old prince'.
Outsiders are not welcome in the Elf Forest, let alone the Elf Palace, except for diplomatic missions.
at this time,
In a side hall of the palace, a group of humans were packing their luggage. The atmosphere was depressing. Sword Saint Alvian seemed to be muttering, but in fact his undisguised curses echoed in the corridor.
Things like "untrustworthy" and "conspiratorial villain".
The sound echoed far away in the corridor, and several elves not far away heard it clearly.
Amidst the hostile gazes from those around him, his disciple Fifteen, standing by, lowered his voice and pleaded, "Master! Please! Speak less! At least... keep your voice down!"
Unfortunately, the Sword Master ignored him completely.
"He did it on purpose." Salian Baishi, who was in charge of receiving the human delegation, looked speechlessly at Alvian who was talking non-stop not far away, feeling somewhat helpless.
This time, the human delegation not only demanded food, but also asked the elves to send top combat forces to support the front line in accordance with the original alliance.
The Elf King flatly refused, and Salian and his men's task was to "see the guest off" gracefully.
This is a diplomatic occasion, so it is important to be gentle but sharp and to stop at the right point.
But humans sent the "cannon" Elvian!
Once rejected, the sword master started to mock indiscriminately, and the vulgar words he used left the elves dumbfounded.
Previously, the negotiation almost turned into a physical fight between the two sides because he insulted the Elf King as a "shameless person" to his face.
Fortunately, no fight broke out. Salian didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the elven guard captain who was beaten black and blue for provoking Alwyn and is still unable to get out of bed...
Ultimately, the elves only agreed to provide half the amount of food the humans requested, and sending troops was out of the question. The Elf King did offer to dispatch his elite rangers to help hunt down demon spies, but this was also flatly rejected by the humans.
The so-called search for spies was actually to find the "brave man" mentioned in the intelligence. Even if we don't talk about the brave man, it is impossible for humans to give up all the information behind the scenes, so it is normal that no agreement was reached.
Elwyn's slander grew louder and louder. Beside Salian, the sound of gnashing teeth could be clearly heard.
The Elf King's daughter Galadriel Dusksong, who was in charge of the reception with him, had a beautiful face that was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. Her ice-blue eyes were fixed on the noisy middle-aged man in the distance.
"This... is old and unrefined!"
Salian actually wanted to remind her that they were both much older than the human in the distance.
But seeing the anger boiling in Galadriel's eyes and the "past" between her and the human swordsman that was not to be told to outsiders, Salian wisely swallowed his words.
This diplomatic negotiation, which lasted for over a month and was supposed to be solemn, ended in a very undignified manner with a passionate exchange between the Elf King's daughter and the human Sword Master.
Salian finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he no longer had to listen to Elvian's garbage talk, nor did he have to stay in this palace all the time.
Although the palace is magnificent and exquisite, some young elves who have never entered the palace will yearn for it.
But in fact, for elves who are naturally close to nature, the tree houses that coexist with giant trees in the outer forests are more comfortable and free to live in, at least that's what Salian thinks.
His home was in a huge tree at the edge of the forest.
In fact, most of the tree houses near the palace are the residences of elves like him who work in the palace.
But Salian did not go directly up the spiral staircase to go home. Instead, he turned and walked into the deep woods below. Before going home, he had to go and see if his troublesome sister had returned.
We walked further and further away, and finally, the familiar lonely wooden house appeared before our eyes.
Before I pushed the door open, a series of muffled "dong dong dong" sounds came from the room.
Salian frowned and opened the door.
call out!
A blue shadow shot straight into his face like an arrow!
Salian's lips moved silently and quickly, and a translucent, elastic magic bubble instantly formed in front of him.
The blue hidden weapon hit the bubble, bounced down weakly, and was caught by Salian.
It was Feifei the parrot, one of his sister's pets, so he naturally recognized it.
His eyes swept through the house, and even though this was not his own residence, Salian's forehead was throbbing with anger.
In the compartment, the Earth Bear Douding was lying on the ground, with only his silly head showing with his eyes rolled up and his tongue hanging out; Maoqiu was huddled under the bed and shivering; the Shadow Swamp Python named Bubble was limp on the ground, obviously unconscious, and a bluish-white Puji was kicking its head with its feet, and stopped when it saw him come in.
As for the house, it looked like it had been swept by a strong wind. The furniture was toppled over and in tatters, and the floor was in a mess. The most outrageous thing was that there was a conspicuous big hole in the wall!
Salian felt that his blood pressure was not as high as it was now when he faced Alvian's foul mouth just now!
I took three deep breaths in a row before I calmed down.
"That idiot, what 'treasure' did he pick up this time?" Salian locked his eyes on the Pooji, and a magical light flashed in his palm.
Scout Puji was instantly imprisoned by an invisible magic force field. He struggled in vain and was lifted up in front of Salian through the air.
He carefully examined the strange creature. "Pfft? The mutation is ridiculous... Where did that girl come from?"
Salian became interested, with light on his fingertips, and gradually approached the motionless Puji, intending to open it and take a look at the internal structure.
Of course I won’t kill it, I’ll just observe it and then cure it.
"What! Are! You! Doing! Ah!!!" An angry scream accompanied by a figure approached!
Ellawen, who had just returned, was like an angry little lion, kicking her brother!
The magic bubble reappeared and easily blocked the sister's attack.
"Just helping you check if this monster is dangerous." Salian said in a flat tone.
"Xiaoji saved my life! You are not allowed to bully it!" Ellawen pushed Puji away and shouted.
"Saved your life?!" Salian's face instantly darkened.
Alavin realized she had let the cat out of the bag and turned to run, but it was too late.
Salian grabbed her arm and said in an unquestionable tone: "Explain it clearly! The whole story! Don't miss a single word!"
Although he is the older brother, he is actually more than a hundred years older than Ellawen. In addition to some family reasons, it is not an exaggeration to say that he raised his sister single-handedly.
Hearing that Ellaven was in danger of her life, of course he had to get to the bottom of it!
While Salian's attention was completely drawn to his sister, Scout Puji ran away without hesitation, first going back into the chaotic house, and then rushing out through the hole in the back wall!
I met a big boss, I can’t afford to offend him!
