Ao Di bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." With that, he flew out with the other three Great Elven Envoys and six other Elven Envoys. Over the past few days, more and more of their clansmen had gone missing. They had been suppressing their anger, and the enemy's invasion made them extremely angry.
The Sidhe Queen flew out from the Sidhe Ancient Tree and landed on the top of the tree. Sensing the waves of powerful attacks from her enemies, she took a deep breath and her entire body emitted a faint green light. Strings of Sidhe incantations continuously drifted out of her mouth and were channeled into the defensive magic formation through the Sidhe Ancient Tree. Two Magisters on the continent began to fight with the elven magic formation as a medium. In an instant, the entire Elven Forest was filled with surging magical energy.
Xuan Ye continued to attack. His goal was to create an opening in the magic formation so that he could bring his subordinates in to find his daughter. Just as the magic array was about to succumb to his attack, the green light suddenly intensified, completely blocking his attack. It was as if the magic array had regained its youth. The opponent's strong resistance couldn't help but evoke Xuan Ye's competitive spirit. As the youngest Cardinal, he enjoyed a high status on the continent. He had never been blocked like this before. He chanted in a clear voice, "The Wrath of the God, I borrow your divine might to pour into my heart and eradicate evil." A golden light floated out from Xuan Ye's back. It was his magic tool, the Wrath of the God. The Wrath of the God was also a godly weapon, a low-grade one at that. It was given to Xuan Ye when he was appointed as a Cardinal by the Pope. It was only the size of a palm and looked like a pagoda. It had a total of 13 layers of golden umbrella-shaped tiles, and there was a transparent, round gemstone the size of a pigeon's egg at the tip. Xuan Ye usually didn't use it lightly. This time, because he was worried about his daughter, and because he was competitive, he actually used it. With the addition of the Wrath of the God, the originally dazzling white light instantly turned gold, and its power increased greatly. The green barrier formed by the elven magic formation rippled again.
Queen Elves, who was at the top of the Ancient Elven Tree, trembled under the influence of the aura. She was inwardly shocked. This person was really powerful! He seemed to have surpassed the level of a Magister. In order to protect the Elven Race's territory from being invaded, she resolutely sacrificed her Heart of Spirit. This was a skill that only the Elven King had, and it was also the ability that the Elven King relied on to save his life. As the Sidhe Queen continued to chant the sidhe incantation, a small green sidhe floated out from between her eyebrows. It looked almost identical to the Sidhe Queen and was completely transparent. It landed lightly on the Sidhe Queen's shoulder, and layers of green ripples spread out continuously with the small green sidhe at the center. The entire Sidhe City was completely enveloped in a green light.
The fluctuating barrier calmed down once again. Xuan Ye was shocked. He didn't expect the Elves to have such an expert that could contend against his God's Fury. Actually, with Xuan Ye's strength and God's Wrath, even if the Queen Of Elves used the Heart of Spirit, she would still be inferior to him. However, this was the Elven World, after all. The energy of nature would naturally lean towards the Queen Of Elves's side. With the help of the elven magic formation, they could only fight to a draw.
Just as Xuan Ye was hesitating whether he should use his most powerful attack, Ao Di and the other three Great Elven Envoys arrived. The elven magic formation's barrier did not affect them at all. The four Great Elven Envoys and six Great Elven Envoys flew out and landed in front of Xuan Ye, glaring at him simultaneously.
The twelve advanced Priests that came with Xuan Ye rushed forward, ready to lend Xuan Ye a hand at a moment's notice.
Seeing that the Elves had arrived, Xuan Ye finally snapped out of his competitive spirit and realized why he had been so impulsive. He hurriedly retracted the God's Fury and dispersed the magic energy in the air. After such a long period of attack, Xuan Ye also felt a little weak. His body swayed slightly, and a stream of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
In the City of Elves, the Queen Of Elves was not much better off than Xuan Ye. When the enemy's attack suddenly disappeared, she immediately sat down on the top of a tree. The Heart of Spirit on her shoulder wearily melted back into her body. She spat out a mouthful of blood and felt a lot more comfortable.
Xuan Ye held the God's Fury in his hand and nodded to the elves, saying, "Greetings, my friends of the elves."
Ao Di coldly said, "Who are your friends? Why did you attack the barrier of the elves?" He was secretly surprised. He had thought that there would be a lot of enemies, but when he got here, he found that the powerful magic was actually cast by a human. The magician in the red robe in front of him gave him a sense of oppression that he had never felt before. The indescribable majesty made it hard for him to breathe.
Xuan Ye indifferently said, "We have no ill intentions. We are here to find our daughter."
Ao Di harrumphed and said, "We don't have your daughter here. If you have no ill intentions, please leave the elven territory immediately."
Xuan Ye frowned. He faintly felt that the elves in front of him were not easy to deal with, especially the four in front of him. They all seemed to contain a lot of energy. It seemed that the elves really had a lot of capable people! Of course, he would not give up on finding his daughter just because the other party was strong. He also knew that attacking the elven barrier was a bit impulsive, so he softened his tone and said, "My subordinates told me that my daughter and her friends entered the Elven Forest a few days ago and have yet to come out. I have a very important matter to discuss with her. Please forgive me for being impulsive just now. "
The elves were a kind race. Seeing that the other party had softened, Ao Di asked, "What is your daughter's name?"
Xuan Ye said, "My daughter's name is Xuanyue. There is also a young man called Dumb with her. I don't know if they are still in your territory."
Ao Di was shocked. He didn't expect this powerful human to be Xuanyue's father. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "It seems like there really was a misunderstanding. Your daughter has indeed come to our elven territory. She is a friend of our elven race."
Xuan Ye was overjoyed. After hearing about his daughter, his mood became a lot better. "Elf friend, I'm really sorry about what happened just now. I was in a hurry to find my daughter and offended you. Please forgive me."
Ao Di gave him a deep look and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, then forget it. Your daughter has helped our elven race greatly. I didn't expect your cultivation to be so high. Where are you cultivating? "
Xuan Ye smiled faintly and said, "I wouldn't dare. Your clan also has a Magician with a profound level of cultivation. His skills are not inferior to mine. I am the Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Xuan Ye. "
Ao Di was shocked and exclaimed: "What? You are the Red Priest of the Holy Hall? "
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "That's right. Elf friend, may I know where my daughter is? I heard from my subordinates that she has the intention to go to the Death Mountain Range. I must stop her as soon as possible. "
After knowing that this powerful mage was the Red Priest of the Holy Hall, Ao Di immediately became more respectful. The Holy Hall was not a place they could provoke. He quickly said, "Don't worry, your daughter will not go to the Death Mountain Range. Under our persuasion, she gave up on this idea. Please come with me to the Elven City. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. " After saying that, he turned around and touched the barrier created by the elven magic array. He gestured to Xuan Ye to follow him.
Xuan Ye nodded and said, "Please."
Under the escort of Ao Di and the others, Xuan Ye and his party entered the depths of the Elven Forest. When he saw the beautiful scenery of the Elven City, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
"Great Elf Envoy Ao Di, your Elven City is really a paradise on earth! When I have some free time, I must stay here for a few days. I don't know if you would welcome me. " On the way, Xuan Ye and Ao Di chatted happily. The two had already become friends. He also had a rough idea of where his daughter was going. As long as she didn't go to the Death Mountain Range, he was confident that he could bring Xuanyue back to his side. As one of the Red Priests of the Holy Hall, he wasn't afraid of offending any nobles. When Ao Di told him about the actions of Xuanyue and the others in the Elven Race, he couldn't help but sigh at the boldness of these youths. Especially when he knew that a few Great Elf Envoys had used the Elven Spring Magic on their daughter, he couldn't help but have a good impression of these kind-hearted elves. He clearly knew that with the help of the Elven Spring Magic, Xuanyue's future cultivation path would be smoother, and she might even surpass him.
Ao Di smiled and said, "Of course you're welcome. With the arrival of a Red Priest, our Elven Race will shine! Bishop Xuan Ye, please have your friend wait here for a while. We will bring you to the Elven Ancient Tree to see Her Majesty the Queen. Just now, she was the one who fought with you. "
Xuan Ye praised, "Her Majesty the Queen's cultivation is really good. Xuan Ye admires her. Please. "
Ao Di flapped his wings and flew into the air. Just as he was about to use Elven Magic to carry Xuan Ye's body, he discovered that Xuan Ye's body was also emitting a white light. Xuan Ye didn't use Wind Magic, but Light Magic. He used magic to counteract the weight of his body and then used magic to bounce his body off the ground. This way, he could control his body and float to where he wanted to go. However, this magic consumed a lot of magic power, so he usually didn't use it lightly. This time, he had just arrived at the Elven Race, so he used it to show off the power of the Holy Hall. As expected, Ao Di couldn't help but be surprised when he saw him float. Without saying anything else, he and the Great Elf Envoys flapped their wings and led the way.
Ao Di parted the huge canopy and led Xuan Ye into the Elven Ancient Tree. "Your Majesty the Queen, we're back. The attack just now was a complete misunderstanding. We brought a friend with us. "
Queen Elves had just returned to the treehouse and was resting. When she heard Ao Di's words, she was overjoyed. "Please invite our esteemed guest in."
Ao Di nodded at Xuan Ye, and the two entered the treehouse together. The other three Great Elf Envoys saw that Xuan Ye wouldn't bring any danger to the Elven Race, so they also returned to their own treehouses.
After entering the treehouse, Xuan Ye saw the beautiful Queen Elves and was stunned for a moment. He said, "This must be Her Majesty the Queen Elves."
Queen Elves nodded slightly and cast an inquiring look at Ao Di. Ao Di hurriedly said, "This is the Holy Holy Hall's Cardinal Xuan Ye. He came to find his daughter. Xuanyue is a tight-lipped girl. I didn't expect her father to be such a big figure. "
Queen Elves heard that the person who came was a Cardinal of the Holy Hall and her expression changed slightly. She said, "So it's the Cardinal. No wonder Xuanyue uses Light Magic. She's actually your daughter. "
Xuan Ye helplessly said, "That girl is really too mischievous. I can't control her. She doesn't like to cultivate since she was young and always causes chaos in the Holy Hall. Even His Majesty the Pope dotes on her. I'm really sorry for causing trouble for you this time. "
Queen Elves smiled faintly and said, "This time, they really helped us a lot. Although Xuanyue's cultivation isn't strong, she has a sense of justice. She's together with that kind child, Dumb. You should be at ease. "
Xuan Ye shook his head and said, "How can I be at ease? If it wasn't for you stopping her, I'm afraid that this little girl who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth would have run to the Death Mountain Range to die. As for that child, Dumb, when I first saw him, I also felt that he was kind. But now, I realize that he's actually very scheming. "
Queen Elves was stunned and said, "How can that be? That child, Dumb, is indeed very kind! You don't have to worry. "
Xuan Ye frowned and said, "Your Majesty the Queen, you still don't know, but Dumb has the world's most evil sword, Hell King's Sword. He might be the disciple of the original number one assassin of the Assassin Union, Hell King. But he has been hiding his identity. How can I not be worried? So, I must quickly get that girl, Xuanyue, back. "
Queen Elves was shocked, "What? Hell King's Sword is in Dumb's hands? This, this is impossible. "
Ao Di said in a low voice, "No, it's very possible. Your Majesty, did you forget that when Great Elf Ya Yuan reported, he said that he didn't know why those powerful thieves were scared away by Dumb. I think, it's very possible that Dumb used Hell King's Sword, that's why he was able to do that. "
Queen Elves said in a daze, "Don't tell me, don't tell me that Dumb came to our elven clan to swindle something? No, absolutely not. His pure kindness comes from the bottom of his heart, it's definitely not intentional. You must have misunderstood him. If he had evil thoughts, he wouldn't have rejected my gifts so many times. " Raising her head, she looked at Xuan Ye and said, "Your Excellency, Dumb is definitely not evil, I can be sure of this. Even if he has Hell King's Sword, he might not be a bad person. "
Xuan Ye frowned and thought of Yinyi's report. He lightly nodded and said, "Whether he's good or bad, we can't make a conclusion yet. Wait until I find my daughter. Can you tell me in what direction they went, and what route they took? " He had already secretly decided that regardless of whether Dumb was evil or not, he would take Xuanyue away from his side. Moreover, he would take back Hell King's Sword. After all, it was too dangerous for Hell King's Sword to remain in the continent. The thousand year calamity was coming, he didn't want any more variables to occur.
Queen Elves thought for a moment, then said to Ao Di, "Go find Tianying, he was the one who escorted Dumb and the others away. Maybe he knows the route they took."
Ao Di nodded and flew out. In the treehouse, only Xuan Ye and Queen Elves were left.
Xuan Ye smiled, "Your Majesty's cultivation is really admirable. I've used almost all of my strength, but I still couldn't break through your magic formation."
Queen Elves thought of her previous fight with Xuan Ye and couldn't help but admire this middle-aged human who was only around 40 years old. "Your Excellency must be joking. I can't compare to you. If I left the Elven Forest, I'm afraid I would have been defeated long ago. Moreover, I've already used all of my strength. The next time you come, you only need to use sound transmission magic to call out to the clan. You don't need to mobilize so many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it! "
Xuan Ye laughed, "I won't do it in the future. Is Your Majesty still angry with me?"
Queen Elves shook her head, "Why would I? We elves will never be angry with our friends. Your Excellency, Dumb is really a good child. I hope you won't hurt him. I can see that your daughter seems to have a good impression of Dumb. Although Dumb looks like a fool, his kindness, simplicity, and sense of justice completely make up for this flaw. "
Although Queen Elves's words were very subtle, Xuan Ye still understood what she meant and resolutely said, "Impossible. They can't be together. Even if Dumb is really a good person, my daughter can't be together with a commoner. Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything more. "
The Sidhe Queen sighed and said plainly, "Sometimes, the matters between our children are not up to us as parents to decide."
Xuan Ye felt a bit annoyed and changed the topic, "Your Majesty, I heard from brother Ao Di that your elven clan was ambushed by bandits and many of your clansmen were captured. They really went too far in this matter. When I find my daughter, I'll definitely help you get justice. It's time for these bandits to be cleaned up. "
Queen Elves's heart was filled with joy. How could she not know about the Holy Hall's authority on the continent? With Xuan Ye's words, their operation was much more assured than Dumb's. "Then I'll first thank Your Excellency on behalf of my clansmen. Sigh — — my naughty daughter! Speaking of which, she's even more disobedient than Xuanyue. I don't know if she can come back safely after being captured. "
Xuan Ye sighed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as she's still alive, I'll definitely try my best to help you find her."
At this time, Ao Di had already brought Tian Ying back to the treehouse. Tian Ying bowed to Queen Elves and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, what orders do you have for me?"
Queen Elves pointed to Xuan Ye and said, "This is the Holy Holy Hall's Cardinal Xuan Ye. He's also Xuanyue's father. Tell him where Xuanyue might be."
Tian Ying was shocked and hurriedly said, "I sent Dumby, Mystic Moon, and the others out of the Fairy Clan's territory. From what they said, it seems like they are going to pass through the Big Dipper Mountain Range and go to the Sunset Empire to find our people. Dumb and Yanshi seem to have some relationship with Tiangang School. They should be going there first. "
Xuan Ye's expression changed, "Tiangang School. It'll be easy to go there. Your Majesty, I won't stay any longer. I need to quickly catch up to that girl. Otherwise, if I lose track of her, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find her again. Once again, I apologize for what happened before. If there's an opportunity in the future, Xuan Ye will definitely bring Yue to apologize to you. "Saying that, he bowed deeply to Queen Elves.
Queen Elves returned the courtesy, "You're welcome. I still have to thank you for your help."
Xuan Ye nodded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely do what I promised."
Queen Elves said, "You mustn't make things difficult for that child Dumb! If you have the whereabouts of our clansmen, I'll have to trouble you to send them back. "
Xuan Ye acknowledged and left the Elven Ancient Tree under Ao Di's escort. Bringing his subordinates, he hurriedly headed in the direction of the Hwasin Empire's Big Dipper Mountain Range.
After Dumb and the others left the Elven Forest, it took them more than half a day to cross over a hilly area and enter the territory of the Yalian people. During this time, they didn't encounter any other foreign races of the Sky Yuan Race.
Finally returning to the flat continent, the group's speed immediately increased by a lot. When crossing over the hilly area, Xuanyue used her lack of stamina as an excuse to force Dumb to carry her. Of course, her weight was nothing to Dumb, but when Dumb carried her on his back, he felt as if there were thorns on his back. The fragrance from Xuanyue's delicate body made Dumb feel at a loss many times. The feeling of body contact made him feel even more awkward. Yan Li had also offered to carry Xuanyue for him, but for some reason, Dumb, who had always been generous, didn't agree. It was as if he felt that he would be at a disadvantage if Yan Li carried Xuanyue.
"Yue, the road is already flat. You should come down and walk." Dumb didn't know how many times he had suggested Xuanyue to come down.
Xuanyue giggled and shook her head, "No, I want you to carry me. You guys are walking so fast. I'm just a girl, and I don't know any martial arts. How can I catch up?" After being carried by Dumb for almost the entire day, Xuanyue was already somewhat used to it. Lying on Dumb's broad back to sleep was a wonderful thing.
Dumb shook his head helplessly and continued walking.
Yan Li laughed and said, "I say, brother, just admit it. One of you is willing to take the hit, and the other is willing to take the hit."
Dumb smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yan Li, don't make fun of me."
Looking at Dumb's "painful" expression, Yanshi couldn't help but smile and said, "After walking for so long, I'm a little tired. Let's find a place to rest."
Xuanyue said, "Okay, okay! Let's stay here. These Yalian people are really too much. They don't even have a single tree. It's just a grassland everywhere. "
Hearing that Xuanyue agreed to rest, Dumb quickly put her down. Xuanyue glared at him with dissatisfaction and sat on the grass, using her hand to block the glaring sunlight. Yanshi and Yan Li also stopped walking and laid comfortably on the ground. Yanshi said, "This is how the Yalian people are. They are nomads and usually live in thick tents. The light cavalry of the Yalian people is very famous on the continent. They are also the largest race in the Suo Region Confederation. When we meet the Yalian people's tribe, we can buy a few horses from them. It will be much faster when we travel. "
Xuanyue said, "Buy horses? Do you have money on you? Dumb and I have already spent most of our money. " Indeed, the luxurious carriage they bought previously had already used up most of their money. Moreover, they still had to eat and live in the future. If they bought horses, they would have no money.
Yanshi was stunned and turned to ask Yan Li, "Brother, did you bring money?"
Yan Li shook his head and said, "When have we ever spent money in the tribe? I've never used that thing before. "
Dumb said, "Looks like we have to walk. If we can find a city, maybe Yue and I can get a monthly salary from the Sorcerers Guild. Then we will have money to spend. " To be honest, he didn't want to ride a horse. He still remembered the painful experience of riding a horse for the first time.
Yan Li laughed and said, "There's no need. We will cross the bridge when we come to it. Although we don't have money, we have strength. When we see the Yalian people's tribe, we can help them do some work and get some money to spend! How are we going to travel without horses? It will be so slow. "
Yanshi smiled and said, "I didn't think there would be a day where I would have to work."
Xuanyue giggled and said, "You guys really want to work! This is so fun. I really want to see how you guys work. Actually, we should play in the Sky Yuan Race's territory for a few more days. We haven't seen other races yet. Big Brother Yan Li, what do you think the dwarves are like? Are they shorter than you? "
Yan Li flipped over and sat up. He said proudly, "Of course they are shorter than me. In the eyes of the dwarves, I am definitely a giant." His words immediately made everyone laugh.
The fruits brought from the elves had already been eaten. Everyone could only eat the steamed buns stored in Xuanyue's Phoenix Blood to appease their hunger. The Phoenix Blood's storage ability was really good. It had been a few days, but the steamed buns hadn't dried up or gone bad at all.
Yan Li said slowly, "Just eating steamed buns is too boring. It would be good if there was meat." When he was with the Puyan people, he couldn't live without meat every day.
Yanshi glared at him and said, "Don't be so meddlesome. Let's continue our journey. When we find a Yalian people tribe, we can have a good rest."
Everyone stood up. Xuanyue took out a coat from the Phoenix Blood and put it on her head to shield herself from the scorching sun. She said to Dumb, "Dumb, come and carry me. I'll help you block the sun. How about it? It's mutually beneficial. "
Dumb mumbled something, but in the end, he helplessly squatted down in front of Xuanyue. Xuanyue smiled and leaned on Dumb's back. The softness of her chest that had just begun to develop pressed against Dumb's solid muscles. Dumb's face heated up. He hooked Xuanyue's leg and quickly chased after the Yanshi Brothers.
After the four of them identified the direction, they kept heading southwest. It wasn't until sunset that they finally found an oasis on the grassland. It wasn't a big lake. It seemed to be only a few dozen square kilometers. There were many dark-skinned humans scattered around it. In contrast to the elves, they were generally ugly and had rough skin. However, the men were more robust.
Hundreds of tents were set up around the oasis. Hundreds and thousands of cattle and sheep were being driven by the Yalian people. They were enjoying the delicious food that the heavens had given them on their natural pasture.
Xuanyue said in surprise, "It's so lively here! There are so many cattle and sheep. Can they take care of it? "
Yanshi smiled and said, "Of course they can. The Yalian people have always lived a nomadic life. Although they are the largest race in the Suoyu Federation, they are also the poorest race. They can barely be self-sufficient. They often exchange their cattle and sheep with other races for necessities. An oasis like this is the best habitat for the Yalian people. Only by the oasis can they not worry about water. You should know that in the vast grassland, no water is equivalent to no life. "
Dumb said, "Brother Yanshi, you seem to be very familiar with the Yalian people!"
Yan Li laughed and said, "We Puyan people have a small part of our territory that is connected to the Yalian people. In the Suoyu Federation, only the Yalian people and the Sky Yuan race have some contact with us. These Yalian people will occasionally come to our territory to exchange cattle and sheep for food and other items. Of course they are familiar with us. Let's go and buy some milk tea and beef from them. I don't want to eat dry rations. "After saying that, he strode towards the oasis not far away.
Xuanyue pulled Dumb and said, "Let's go. Those tents are so interesting. Let's rent one."
Dumb scratched his head and said, "Didn't you say that we don't have enough money? Let's save some money. "
Xuanyue pouted and said, "I never lack money. Hmph, I see something I like and I can't play with it. Annoying." After saying that, she chased after Yan Li with her head held high.
Dumb was stunned. Looking at Xuanyue's coquettish look, he felt wronged and said, "If you want to stay, then stay. We can think of a way to solve the money problem later. "
Yanshi smiled and looked at them. He couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart when he thought of his dead wife.
Xuanyue felt warm in her heart. Looking at Dumb's honest face, she smiled and said, "Let's see how it goes."
Soon, the four of them arrived at the oasis. Although the water here couldn't be compared to the Elven Lake, it was still clear. As soon as they saw the water, everyone quickly ran to the lakeside and reached their hands into the water at the same time. The cool lake water washed away their fatigue. Under the stimulation of the clear water, the four of them felt refreshed.
After washing up, Yan Li sat comfortably by the lake and looked around. There were many Yalian people just now, but they had all disappeared. He said, "That's strange. Why can't I see anyone? This oasis is way too peaceful. "
Xuanyue pointed to the cows and sheep not far away and said, "Could they have gone to graze?"
Yanshi shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Grazing is usually done by adults. The elderly and children will stay at home. But did you feel it? It's very quiet here. It's as if there's no one in the surrounding tents. We saw many Yalian people on our way here. Why have they all disappeared? I don't know what's going on. "
At this moment, a sturdy Yalian people came out of nowhere and ran towards the northeast with an excited face. When he saw the four of them, he stopped and asked, "Who are you people?"
