Chapter 679: Going to the Elven Capital
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The elven amba.s.sador, known for his refined demeanor in the Maple Princ.i.p.ality, suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face filled with shock, abandoning all decorum.
Incredulously, he repeated, Are you saying this is true?
Ji Chen nodded solemnly and replied, I discovered this in a semi-sealed mystic realm in the southern Pacific Ocean. You should know that I have a deep-sea dragon whale hero in my ranks, and she gained knowledge from the bloodline memories there.
I a.s.sure you, theres no falsehood in what Im saying. If possible, please convey this message to the Elven Queen.
Miligas looked at Ji Chen with seriousness, devoid of any playful expression, and rubbed his nose in frustration before sitting back on the sofa.
Your Excellency, I dont mean to doubt you, but the gravity of this matter is beyond ordinary. Without sufficient evidence, Im afraid
What if I have irrefutable evidence? Ji Chen interjected.
Miligas appeared skeptical. Do you really have it?
He didnt doubt Ji Chen, but the situation was simply too unbelievable, to the point where no one would readily believe it. Demons had been sealed by the G.o.ds of order in the depths of chaos. If demons were truly invading again, why hadnt the Mother G.o.ddess and other orderly deities sent divine warnings?
Moreover, just over a decade ago, the Mother G.o.ddess had issued an oracle to remind them of their responsibility as orderly races to combat evil races.
The Mother G.o.ddess and other orderly deities were still present, so how could demons find an opportunity?
Ji Chen wasnt surprised by Miligass reaction, as he himself had doubts until he confirmed the demon invasion.
After all, the reappearance of demons, a race that had disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years and was considered taboo by some, sounded absurd.
While I was searching for evidence in that semi-sealed mystic realm, we were surrounded by a large number of demonized creatures. The Dreadlord Balzarna even sent an alchemical-reconstructed being to kill all witnesses. In the end, they even attempted to destroy the mystic realm to annihilate us in the void.
Ji Chen paused and continued, I unintentionally awakened the consciousness of the alchemical-reconstructed being, who was once a powerful human. He is now waiting just outside Maple Harbor.
Seeing that Ji Chen didnt appear to be lying, Miligas hesitated for a moment and said, Then please no, please take me to see him in person.
Ji Chen agreed readily, Time is of the essence; lets depart immediately.
Miligas nodded, and a carriage was arranged promptly. They set off for Maple Harbor.
However, as they entered Maple Harbor, they witnessed squads of heavily armed elven soldiers rus.h.i.+ng through the streets.
Whats happening? Why are so many soldiers mobilized? Miligas inquired, pulling back the curtain of the carriage.
An elven warrior guarding the outside shook his head and said, Were not sure for now. Let me find out.
The elven warrior quickly stopped a pa.s.sing squad of soldiers. These soldiers, upon seeing that they were being halted by an elf, didnt dare to be neglectful. They noticed the direction pointed towards a well-guarded elven carriage and showed even greater respect.
Our lord has some questions for you, the squad leader hastily nodded. Its my honor to a.s.sist our lord in any way.
The elven warrior didnt say anything and signaled for him to follow.
Under the guidance of the elven warrior, the squad leader approached the carriage.
The curtain was lifted from inside, revealing an elegant elven face.
The squad leaders expression changed; this elf was the amba.s.sador of the Silvermoon Dynasty to the Maple Princ.i.p.ality. How could such a prominent figure be here in Maple Harbor?
But what surprised him even more was that beside this highest-ranking elf in the entire Maple Princ.i.p.ality, there was a human sitting.
Who was this person? How could they be sharing a carriage with the elven amba.s.sador?
Whats happening? Why are so many of you mobilized? Miligas asked calmly.
The squad leader hurriedly replied, Theres been a humanoid monster near the port area that has already injured several people and poses a threat to Maple Harbor.
Your Excellency, its best for you to stay away from the port for now. I heard that the creature is quite powerful, and Im afraid it might harm you.
No need to worry. What does this humanoid monster look like? Miligas waved his hand.
It seems to have undergone body modifications, like a fusion of a human with some kind of creature. Its accompanied by some powerful wyverns
That must be the alchemical-reconstructed being I mentioned earlier.
Ji Chen was somewhat puzzled. Wasnt Lainekel supposed to stay outside Maple Harbor? How did he come close and get into a conflict with the Maple soldiers?
Miligas hesitated for a moment and then said, There must be some misunderstanding. Lets go there now and try to resolve the conflict.
You lead the way immediately.
Yes! The squad leader saluted and began to lead the way.
The carriage advanced along the cobblestone road, making a clattering sound, but the ride inside remained smooth. The excellent craftsmans.h.i.+p and the use of shock-absorbing runes kept the carriage stable.
They soon arrived at a dock in the harbor, where they saw a squadron of Sea Crystal Wyverns circling nearby and Lainekel standing on the dock..
