Chapter 1187: Obligation

After the 2 parties greeted each other, Empress Liv set her sights on Chen Rui.

Chen Rui smiled, As you can see, Your Majesty Liv, this look is just more convenient.

Empress Liv nodded and said, 2 Royal Highnesses, come with me.

Knowing that Empress Liv would definitely want to ask about the Tree of Nature, Chen Rui rolled his eyes, Your Majesty Liv, where is Ms. Kilanya?

Madam Kilanya? Empress Liv was taken aback, She is one of the hosts of the New Moon Festival, so she is at the ceremony. Does Your Highness want her to discuss together?

No, Your Majesty misunderstood me, but I heard from His Highness Span earlier, so I wanted to meet her.

Kilanya was at the top of Merias blacklist. When Ms. Fairy Dragon heard this name, her pointed elfs ears p.r.i.c.ked up. Span didnt expect Chen Rui to say that. He glared at his son-in-law. Chen Rui simply copied his father-in-laws fake daze secret technique and stared blankly at him.

In fact, Span had already understood the meaning of the son-in-law. The son-in-law would bear the consequences of some matters alone. He did not want Span and Meria to get involved. The Old Father-in-law Elf King thought for a while, and he finally nodded.

Empress Liv thought for a while, and she didnt force it, Your Highness Span, then please do what you want.

Chen Rui looked at Zola and signaled to Ms. Fairy Dragon to take care of the half-elf when necessary. Zola nodded slightly. She and Chen Rui were in the same mind. Sometimes even without a mind call, they could understand each others meaning with a gaze.

Okay, you go for a private meeting with this little elf beauty. We are going to the New Moon Festival. Be careful, dont make trouble. Otherwise, I will report to Athena and the others.

Oh Hohoho

Lalaria dragged Zola and Alice to the other side.

The half-elf Taylos who was following behind was sweating on his brow.

An elf that dares to call the elf empress little beauty in front of her and say such weird things. Im afraid that she is the only one in history. Even the Elf King is not so outrageous!

Chen Rui could only smile wryly. He said to Empress Liv with an apologetic face, Forgive me, Your Majesty Liv. Ignore that nonsense guy. She is used to misbehavior. She has only been in the Dragon Valley for a few days, and she has caused a lot of trouble. Almost all the dragons were beating gongs and drums when they left, thankful that the scourge left.

Originally, Empress Liv was still a little displeased, but when Chen Rui said this, she asked in surprise, Who is she?

The future Dragon Emperor of another world. Chen Rui shook his head, silently mourning for the future of Dragon Island.

Another world? Empress Livs gaze was a bit more profound, The ones who followed you and His Highness Span just now how many real elves are there?

If Your Majesty refers to the real elf, then there is only 1: His Highness Span Chen Rui grinned, I dont intend to offend the elf tribe, but its just a coincidence. My friend just want to experience the New Moon Festival of the celestial capital.

As the 2 chatted, they entered a palace.

Empress Liv waved her hand, and all the servants and guards retreated outside the hall.

Your Highness Richard, please sit down. Empress Liv sat down, First of all, I would like to thank Your Highness for keeping the Tree of Nature in the past few years.

Sensing the situation, Chen Rui asked, Does Your Majesty need me to explain why the Tree of Nature was not returned beyond the due date?

I got the answer from Sir Alucier long ago. Although sir prophet didnt specify the reason, as the elf empress, I still choose to trust Sir Aluciers judgment.

Even if the fate of the elf tribes survival is in the hands of a human?

Sir Alucier is the guide of the elf tribe, and also the highest instructor of all elves. With his help, the elf tribe has survived countless terrifying crises over the years and can flourish and develop to the current state. There was a determination in Empress Livs flat tone, Although many elves, including me, still cant understand the intention of sir prophet, no one has publicly raised objections. Besides, Your Highness is not an ordinary human to be able to easily escape from the hands of Archangel Raphael Im glad that such a Pseudo-G.o.d powerhouse is the Hero King of our elf tribe instead of an enemy.

It appears that Ms. Kilanya has informed Your Majesty of what happened at the Holy Child canonization ceremony at the Holy Light Mountain.

Please dont worry, Your Highness. Apart from Sir Alucier, Madam Kilanya and me, no fourth elf knows.

Dont worry? Chen Rui shook his head, Its just a little well, we can leave this matter aside.

Of course, Empress Liv didnt want to expose the relations.h.i.+p between Chen Rui and the elf tribe, lest it drew revenge from the Holy Light Mountain. Even with Alucier, a prophet of unknown strength, he was no match for the 3 archangels.

But the elf empress didnt know that all she knew was Chen Ruis strength that was a few years ago. Now the Hero Kings personal strength and forces were enough to compete with all 3 archangels. Of course, Chen Rui didnt explain too much. After thinking about it, he let out a breath of the Tree of Nature, So, do I need to return the holy tree to the elf tribe now?

Great, I never imagined that in just a few years, the Tree of Natures breath actually has reached such a level! Your Highness is worthy of the Hero King t.i.tle. Empress Liv showed a surprised expression, then she frowned, Its just that Sir Alucier once told me that now is not the right time to return the holy tree. Your Highness is here this time

I have 2 purposes for coming here this time. Chen Rui said straight to the point, The first thing, I need 5 rainbow calla lilies and 1 ice fungus. Please help me, Your Majesty; the second thing, I want to see Prophet Sir Alucier again.

Empress Liv pondered for a moment, and replied, Rainbow calla lilies are rare, but the secret warehouse of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital has them. I will ask people to choose the best 5 in a moment, but ice fungus

Is there any difficulty with ice fungus?

Ice fungus has special enchantment and repair power. Compared with rainbow calla lilies, it is not particularly rare. There were quite a few in the Jade Forest Sea. But in the past 20,000 years, in order to seal the holy tree, the ice fungus in the Jade Forest Sea was all plucked by the elves to continuously strengthen the seal enchantment of the treants that were infected by the Abyss power. There is only 1 plant in Sir Aluciers Psychedelic Forest, and it is currently the only known one in the entire Jade Forest Sea. This ice fungus is not ordinary. It has been nearly 30,000 years old, and it is Aluciers treasure. However, Sir Alucier just closed the Psychedelic Forest not long ago, announcing that he will not see any outsiders.

Chen Rui frowned, Outsiders? Im not an outsider, right? Could it be that the t.i.tle of Elf King is just an empty t.i.tle with no practical value?

Your Highness has misunderstood. Even Sir Aluciers only personal apprentice and only daughter, Kilanya, cannot see him.

If I cant see Alucier, I naturally dont need to follow the entrustment he asked Finoia to convey. I will return the Tree of Nature to the elf tribe now, and I will never have any relations.h.i.+p with the Jade Forest Sea in the future.

For Chen Rui, he must get the ice fungus and meet Alucier to solve the mystery of that person so that he could get rid of the hidden hazard in his body as soon as possible. However, Chen Rui inevitably felt absurd to threaten the elf empress with returning the Tree of Nature.

For all the elves in the celestial capital, returning to the blessing of the holy tree is the greatest hope, but Empress Liv was taken aback, then she smiled wryly, I dont know how to describe my current mood In fact, Sir Alucier also ordered that if affected by some irresistible factors, those who want to see him can try to enter the Psychedelic Forest directly.

Directly enter? Got it. Chen Rui narrowed his eyes. By the way, I have another question. What is the level of Sir Aluciers strength?

The strength of sir prophet is a secret. I only know that when the Tree of Nature was infected 20,000 years ago, the 3 archangels wanted to destroy the Tree of Nature to prevent future troubles, but they gave up their intention when the sir prophet stopped them.

Let the 3 archangels give up their intentions?

Chen Rui thought for a while, then he nodded, Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Highness is too polite. I will send someone to retrieve the rainbow calla lilies from the secret warehouse. Since the protection of the secret warehouse has been completely closed before the New Moon Festival, it will take a while to reopen. Your Highness may wish to visit the elf tribes New Moon Festival first.

Chen Rui shrugged and said deliberately, Didnt they say that only invited special guests can partic.i.p.ate? So I was forced to transform into an elf

Empress Liv smiled implicitly, Although Your Highness is a human being, you are also the Hero King of the elf tribe. You are admired by all elfs There is no need for any invitation. Even your other 3 companions are brought by His Highness Span. Then what about the half-elf? Isnt Your Highness exercising the privilege of the Elf King?

At that time, maybe I will regain a sense of existence of the so-called elf tribe Hero King. Chen Rui took a deep breath, As for helping Taylos, it was only because I suddenly remembered a certain half-elf friend who was no longer here.

Blanche.

If Chen Rui could do it all over again, he would definitely choose to leave the Silver Moon Celestial Capital with her so that the tragedy that followed would not happen.

Empress Liv certainly knew who Chen Ruis half-elf friend was, and she sighed.

Another time, the incident that made the Hero King have a sense of existence happened in the Magician Tower Group in Jaqda. I killed Elder s.h.i.+ro and his half-elf illegitimate son Rialdo in front of Elder Dursa. I believe that Your Majesty already knew about this incident.

Chen Rui looked up at the bright sky, Before I make a move, I once said a few words: I may be weak, I may be poor, I may be of low status, or I may be ugly, but in front of life, you and I are equal. Im not despicable, and you are not n.o.ble. When you think you are n.o.ble, in fact, you are the most despicable existence.

Empress Liv was about to say something, but when she heard this, she fell silent.

Helping the half-elf today, including killing s.h.i.+ro and Rialdo at that time, I dont think Im abusing the privilege of the elf tribe Hero King, but fulfilling the obligations that this honor should fulfill. Chen Rui looked deeply at Empress Liv without saying more, then he walked out of the hall.

TL: Alucier must know that he is going to get that ice fungus. Why does he want Chen Rui to break into the forest?
