Sorry for the two-day break in updates.
"The elf race really has a lot of beautiful women!" Edgar couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at Alice Morningstar, who was dressed in a white long skirt. By the look of her, Alice Morningstar was only 14 or 15 years old, but her height was already almost 1.7 meters. She had a tall and slender figure, with a delicate face that looked like a porcelain doll. She had long black hair that was tied back with a red ribbon. Alice Morningstar's beauty was not inferior to that of Alda and the others.
"Thank you! You can call me Alice. Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have been taken by those humans!" Alice Morningstar smiled lightly and gracefully bowed.
"No need to thank me!" Edgar replied and continued, "We found 20 elves on two ships. Come take a look and see if any of them are your companions?" Edgar led Alice Morningstar to the hall, where the awake elves had changed into clothes and were waiting in the hall.
"Nicole, you're alive! Thank you, Moon Goddess!" Alice entered the hall and rushed over to a green-haired little girl, hugging her tightly.
"Alice!" The girl that Alice called Nicole looked even younger than Alice, with a height of only 1.5 meters and green hair. She had beautiful green eyes and a pair of sensitive and adorable ears. What was even more striking was her bright and clear eyes, like stars in the sky, which were exceptionally lovable. Her big, watery eyes were sparkling with electricity, blinking cutely. Paired with an infectious cheerful smile, she was simply irresistible.
"Nicole, come here! This is Edgar, he saved us!" Alice pulled Nicole over and gently pointed to Edgar.
"What a cute little girl!" Edgar couldn't resist any longer, reaching out to gently tug on Nicole's sharp, adorable ears. The ears felt soft and smooth to the touch, and Edgar couldn't help but pinch them a few more times.
"Pap!" Edgar was lost in a fantasy of the little girl when suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his face. He had been slapped twice, and Alda and Alice were looking at him angrily.
"What did you do?" Edgar felt very wronged. All he did was touch her ear! Yes, there was some flirting involved (which was true), but it didn't warrant such a reaction, did it?
"My dear brother, you are too impetuous! What do you think you're going to do to Nicole now?" Alda slapped him and then tenderly rubbed his cheek, looking at him helplessly.
"What do you mean?" Edgar frowned. All he did was touch her ear. Could the consequences be so severe?
"Don't you know that elf ears are not to be touched casually? An elf's ears can only be touched by their parents or their lovers," Nicole was blushing and quietly crying in Alice's arms. Alice was glaring at Edgar and scolding him loudly. Around him, a dozen or so elves were also glaring angrily at Edgar. Fortunately, everyone was still calm and had not yet resorted to physical violence.
"Alda, what's going on?" Edgar saw the angry looks of the elves and realized that he had indeed committed a very serious mistake. But the problem was that Edgar didn't know what he had done wrong.
"An elf's ears are not allowed to be touched by anyone except close relatives and spouses!" Alda helplessly leaned in to Edgar's ear, blushing and spoke softly.
Edgar immediately understood what had happened, that he had touched the little girl's ears, which was no different than putting his hand into a woman's skirt in broad daylight. According to the laws of his previous life, at least a lewd act against a child charge would be levied.
"What do I do now?" Edgar immediately panicked and turned to Alda for help.
"Marry her! Or kill all these elves!" Alda spoke to Edgar in standard Mandarin, not afraid that the elves would understand.
"Uh... Let's just marry her then!" Edgar felt dizzy, not expecting Alda's suggestion to be so extreme. However, Edgar was not willing to kill such a cute little girl, and taking her back as his wife should be fine, right?
"Let's marry her then!" Alda smiled, not knowing what was going through her mind.
"Um... Everyone, please calm down! I'll take responsibility for this!" Edgar reluctantly stepped forward, looking at the angry elves and slowly said.
"How are you going to take responsibility? Don't you know that elves and humans cannot marry?" Alice Starlight looked at Edgar in despair and said, "According to the customs of the elf tribe, if someone touches an elf's ear, they must marry them or kill them. However, the elf tribe also has another rule, which states that humans cannot marry elves. But the current situation is that Edgar's 30 soldiers have surrounded 20 elves, so it is impossible to kill him."
"Why can't we marry?" Edgar frowned as he heard Alice's words, but then he thought that there are always exceptions.
"It's not that we can't. Humans and elves have a life span that is twice as long as humans, so if humans marry elves, when humans grow old, the elves will have to live alone for another 100 years or so. That's why the tribe forbids intermarriage. If you can reach the level of a saint, you can be an exception," Alice's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again. Looking at Edgar's age, it seemed he was no more than 20 years old, and reaching the level of 7 or 8 would be great. The average age of elves was over 200 years old! Edgar smiled, "I'm sure I'll live longer than all of you. In our tribe, we don't practice magic, our average lifespan is around 200 years. That's the lifespan of a normal person. Even if it's not possible, with practice, living longer is no problem. As for the soldiers produced by the base, they can live for at least 100 years." "Isn't that a lie?" Alice frowned, having never heard of anyone living for 200 years without practicing magic.
"Don't believe me? Come with me, and I'll make you believe it!" Edgar smiled, suddenly coming up with a brilliant idea. This method was sure to convince Alice and her companions.
Edgar led a group of beautiful women out of the ward and onto the deck of the medical ship. Now that the ship had returned to the carrier strike group, it was surrounded by huge warships, especially two aircraft carriers, which were even more impressive. In the sky above, low-flying helicopters and patrolling fighters made the entire fleet seem more ominous.
"What is this?" The elves, who had never seen an aircraft carrier, were immediately stunned. This nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was over 300 meters long, 70 meters wide, and 20 meters high above water. Such a huge object would astonish anyone who saw it.
"This is an aircraft carrier. We can all build ships like this, so why doubt what I say?" Edgar looked at the elves who were all stunned, and walked up to Alice, asking her softly.
Alice heard Edgar's words and came to her senses, looking at Edgar and saying, "I believe. As long as Nicole agrees, no one will stop us!"
"Done with one!" Edgar breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the little girl Nicole, who was just as stunned, and softly said, "Nicole, wake up!" "What are you doing?" Nicole blushed as she looked at Edgar. Nicole had some good feelings towards Edgar, who was young, wealthy, and handsome (the effects of cultivation).
"Alice has agreed to our marriage, will you marry me?" Edgar said, as if two devoted lovers had finally received their parents' approval.
"What else can I do?" Nicole sighed, although she had good feelings towards Edgar, it was just good feelings, she never thought she would really have to marry him.
"I will make you happy! By the way, how did you both get captured?" Edgar rubbed his nose, looking a little embarrassed. To lighten the mood, Edgar quickly changed the subject.
Edgar didn't ask anything was fine, but when Nicole heard Edgar's question, she trembled all over, as if she was remembering something terrifying. Edgar saw that something was wrong, and immediately held Nicole in his arms, gently stroking her long hair and gently comforting her. It took a long time before Nicole slowly calmed down and told the whole story.
Alice Morningstar, the youngest princess of the Morningstar Elf Kingdom and the brightest jewel of the Morningstar Elf Kingdom. About half a month ago, the ancient elf tree in the Morningstar Elf Kingdom suddenly died on a large scale. If it couldn't be cured soon, all the ancient elf trees in the Morningstar Elf Kingdom would soon die.
The ancient elf tree is the foundation of the elves. The food of the elves comes from the elven tree, and the longbows and wands of the elves are also made from the elven tree. Even the elves' houses are built on the elven tree. In fact, without the elven tree, there would be no elves, and there would be no elf kingdom.
The impending death of the elven tree has left the people of the Morningstar Elf Kingdom in a state of panic, and even the elf kingdoms around Morningstar have begun to panic. No one knows if their own elven tree will suddenly die.
As the youngest princess of the Morningstar Elf Kingdom, Alice Morningstar still set out on a journey to find the Tree Elf, the specialist doctor of the elven tree. After the Holy War, the Natural Goddess System was defeated, and the elf tribe retreated to the Whispering Forest. The Tree Elf tribe disappeared, but according to legend, there was a Tree Elf in the West Sea.
In order to save her troubled country, Alice Morningstar set out with a fleet of over 500 people. Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and on the seventh day of their voyage, Alice Morningstar encountered a violent storm. When the storm subsided, only about 100 people were left in the fleet.
What was worse, the remaining fleet did not find the Tree Elf, but instead encountered the infamous Dragon Shark pirates. After a fierce battle, the elves were defeated and became the pirates' prisoners. The Dragon Shark Pirates killed all the male elves and enslaved most of the female elves, selecting only the twenty most beautiful elf maidens to be transported to the human world for sale. However, the pirate ship strayed into the territory of the Sirens, and the pirates were lured by the Sirens' song, ultimately becoming captives of Edgar.
"Where are those pirates? I'll go wipe them out for even thinking about Nicole!" Edgar was furious after hearing the story and immediately expressed his intention to eliminate the pirates. Of course, this was not just Edgar's anger for his beloved, the pirates meant treasure, and destroying the pirates' lair would naturally grant him access to their treasure. A double win.
