232 Mountains of the Dead
The Elven Queen and the Elven King both fell, and the entire Elven Race grieved, and even the Tree of Life was a dead silence.
Grief is grief, but at this moment, two elves are in ecstasy.
Joshua and Jensen seem to have seen themselves sitting on a throne and ruling over the elves.
Elven Temple.
"I am here, officially crowning Eleanor as Queen of the Elves!" Santan tapped the crown to Eleanor's head.
The jewels in the crown shine brightly, proving that the crown has identified Eleanor as the queen of the elves.
Jensen and Joshua were excited, after choosing the elf queen, it was time to choose the elf king!
The two glanced at each other in unison, and Joshua preemptively said, "I will definitely make you the Great Justice, and let you manage the internal affairs of the Elven Clan!" "No, no, no, I will make you a Great General, and let you lead the troops to fight and make meritorious achievements!" Jensen responded.
"Eleanor will choose me" Joshua said confidently, "I'm her big brother!" "Hmph, haven't you noticed that Eleanor likes me a little more?" "Impossible!" "Have you forgotten that the Elf King and the Elf Queen are husband and wife, how can they be together without love?" "Eleanor will definitely love me!" "Indeed, it's a pity, love me a little more" "You!"
The two began with a whispered bickering, which gradually turned into a quarrel.
"Silence!" Santan said coldly, "In the temple, it is forbidden to make loud noises!"
"Eleanor, it's time to elect the Elven King!" Joshua rushed to Eleanor, "It's time to crown me king."
"Stupid fellow!" Jensen looked at Joshua hatefully, doing such a thing in the temple・・・・・ but he couldn't back down, at least, at this moment.
"Elf Queen, indeed, it's time to elect a new Elven King" Jensen slowly stepped forward "A country can't be without a king for a day・・・・・"
Eleanor glanced at Joshua and Jensen, then at the other elders.
Santan smiled, "Eleanor, what do you think?"
Eleanor was a little dazed, she looked at the scepter in her hand, and then at the towering statue of the god of the forest.
"You are now the queen of the elves, and you have the highest right to speak," Santan reminded, "at this moment, you are not anyone's daughter, nor anyone's sister, nor is it a royal daughter. You are the queen, and what you want to focus on is the elven race as a whole!"
"High Priestess, what do you mean by that?" Jensen heard Santan's words.
Eleanor frowned, "Now, I'm the queen?" "You have the right to choose the king, and you also have the right to decide the candidates for the elven king!" Santan said so explicit that a fool wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Even if you don't choose among them, is it okay?" seems to be a question, but it is an affirmative sentence used.
"Eleanor, you!" Joshua reached for Eleanor's collar, and a long arrow pierced his hand.
"Stand down, rude fellow" Styra pulled another arrow aimed at Joshua, "Next time, it's your head!"
"You guys!" Joshua was furious, and Jensen was horrified, "Are you kidding me, Eleanor?"
Jensen immediately stepped back, and Joshua's expression was seriously distorted, "Eleanor, don't kick your nose in the face!"
"Whoever insults the queen is punishable by exile" Santan's tone was flat, as if it was not a prince who was going to be exiled, but just an ordinary soldier.
Joshua wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything when he saw Eleanor's expression.
"This is the end of the coronation, all of you stand down, I have something to say to the High Priest alone," Eleanor waved her hand.
Ichigan Elder quickly left.
Jensen and Joshua were a little reluctant, but they left.
"Pap", "Papapa", "Papapa", Santan applauded, "very queenly"
"Thank you for the compliment" Eleanor tugged at her skirt slightly, "I finally understood, it turns out that I have been doing it wrong all along"
With that, she looked up at the majestic god of the forest, "My two useless brothers, I have always accommodated them and tolerated them. I thought they would understand, I thought they would grow eventually・・・・・ but it was all useless, it was a waste of time! Because of them, not only did we lose many precious soldiers, but even heroes ・・・・・・"
"I'm glad you have this kind of awareness. Although Joshua and Jensen are princes, their quality is so poor that they are really not worthy to lead the elves. Even if they have royal blood, they still can't get rid of the bad roots in their souls," Santan's tone didn't fluctuate, just like stating the facts.
"What do we do now?" "God was so angry at our good at breaking contracts that I couldn't even listen to God's will. "It's my responsibility, if I can wake up a little sooner・・・・・" "It's not the past that matters, it's the future" "The future?" "Even if we don't have heroes, we still have special troops" Santan finished speaking, and a few dark shadows burst out from behind the towering statue of the god, "As long as you are in the forest, you are invincible, forest ranger!"
"Do we still have a glimmer of hope?" said Eleanor, who smiled suddenly, and that smile was proud.
To the west of the Dawn Continent, there are desolate mountain ranges, where the sky is high and the earth is far away, the soil is extremely poor, and there is also a plateau climate, which is gray as far as the eye can see, and only scattered greenery can be seen along the way.
This is the habitat of the undead, the most inhospitable area on the entire continent.
"It's finally here!" Scarlet tossed the title page aside, which read, "Seventeen days left before the contract is signed."
In the past few days, I have been hurrying and sleeping, and more than a dozen horses have died, and I have finally arrived.
"Hmm~ It feels so good to go home" An Mo took a deep breath, "There is a faint smell of rotting corpses in the air"
"・・・・・ can you stop talking about such disgusting things so literary, okay!" Scarlet pinched his nose, "Take me to your temple!"
"No, I'll have to take you to Mr. Iron Bone first," An Mo gestured to a small cabin standing halfway up the mountain.
The wooden cottage is actually a tavern, as Scarlet sees a sign that reads "Twilight Tavern". There is also a wine barrel painted next to it.
"Mr. Iron Bone, I'm back" An Mo pushed open and closed the door.
"Oh, who's back, my little princess, I'm glad you weren't illuminated by the light," the bass was deep and strong, and he felt that his ears would be pregnant.
The skeleton wears a coffee-colored cape and a top hat.
What a handsome skeleton.
Although Scarlet has seen a lot of ghouls or skeleton warriors along the way, this skeleton is different in terms of aura.
It is worthy of the old bones that have lived for tens of thousands of years, and the dark blue flames burning in the skull are terrifying.
"Oh, and I've brought a kid back," Mr. Iron Bone put down his glass.
Scarlet nodded and gestured "Hello, my name is Scarlet"
"It's Scarlet who rescued me," An Mo sat on a chair, "Let's have an A-grade rotten meat set!"
The bartender is also a skeleton, or a skeleton waiter in an evening dress with a red ribbon around his neck.
"What do you want to eat?" said Mr. Iron Bone to Scarlet.
Scarlet watched as the skeleton waiter placed a plate of juicy, foul-smelling, rotting pieces of meat in front of An Mo.
"What's here?" she swallowed so she wouldn't spit it out.
"This is the menu" Mr. Iron Bone flicked his fingers, and a delicate menu flew into Scarlet's hand.
"Grade A Rotten Meat Set, Grade B Rotten Meat Set・・・・・ Grade A Bone Crushing Set・・・・・ Grade A Bone Meat Set・・・・・ What is this Scarlet Rose?" replied the "Rancid Blood" the skeleton waiter.
"Isn't there anything that normal people can eat?" "This is the territory of the undead clan, do you think there will be any food that normal people eat?" Mr. Iron Bone crossed his hands and placed them on the table.
"What is this standard soul?" Medusa suddenly appeared behind Scarlet.
"・・・・・" Mr. Iron Bone glanced at Medusa, "Is that your spirit? Are you a psychic?" "What a rude skeleton, how can you say such rude things to a lady?"
"Hehehe, that's rude. Mr. Iron Bone took off his hat and apologized, "The standard soul is naturally the human soul. "One serving of the standard soul ・・・・・・ two servings, you have to learn to eat the soul," Medusa closed the menu.
Two small cups were brought up, each containing a small oval ball of light blue.
There was still a hint of blue air bubbling around the ball.
"So small" Medusa twisted the standard soul and put it in her mouth.
Scarlet did the same, and also twisted the ball and put it in his mouth.
"Well, it's very chewy・・・・・ it doesn't taste good・・・・・・ it seems to be hard to chew・・・・・" Scarlet chewed his soul and couldn't chew it for a long time.
"It's not chewing gum, just chew a few bites and swallow it. To be honest, it feels good to slide down my throat when I swallow it~" The snake letter rolled up waves, closed his eyes, and swallowed.
Indeed, it feels good that the soul slides down the throat and ends up in the stomach. Scarlet actually produced a hint of satisfaction in an instant.
"Hmm~" Scarlet shook his head, this soul was a farmer's, and messages such as haystacks, thatched huts, and iron forks came sporadically from inside.
"Don't worry, there will be some memories of the dead left in the soul~" Medusa explained.
The fork in An Mo's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"An Mo, this is very uneducated, you know?" said Mr. Iron Bone in a deep voice.
An Mo hurriedly picked up the fork, and then looked at Scarlet with interest, "It turns out that you are also from here~Say it earlier~"
Scarlet let out a breath, "Don't get me wrong, I just happen to be able to eat souls, so keep your carrion for yourself!"
"If it's an ordinary human, you can't even touch the soul" Mr. Iron Bone's jaw opened slightly, as if he was laughing, "Scarlet, who are you, where are you from, and where are you going?"
"My name is Scarlet, I'm from there, I'm going here" Scarlet played a clever trick, and then ate a hand knife from Medusa.
"His name is Scarlet, and he is the former hero of the Elf Clan~" Medusa propped her hand on Scarlet's head, "This time we are here to apply for the hero of the Undead Clan~" "Roar~ What about you?Snake Girl?" "I have a nice name for Medusa, don't scream, skeleton!"
The black mark instantly surrounded Mr. Iron Bone, who was unmoved.
Scarlet: "Wow, won't you be too discordant like this?"
Then Scarlet received Medusa's cold eyes from high down.
Scarlet felt that her heart had been traumatized, and it was about five centimeters in diameter.
"I also have the gentlemanly name of Mr. Iron Bone, and besides, I don't think it's good" Mr. Iron Bone snapped, and the black marks around him instantly twisted!
Stunned, Medusa didn't react, just a new black mark stabbed at Mr. Iron Bone.
The blue light in Mr. Ironbone's eyes was stirred, and in the next second, Scarlet's fist collided with Mr. Ironbone's fist.
The marker bounced off as it stabbed Mr. Ironbones.
"It hurts," Scarlet said.
"Endure" Medusa put her hands around her chest.
"It really hurts" Scarlet feels like a punch on an iron frame, and the feeling is more enjoyable than hitting an iron plate!
