Chapter 4 Affection
As the visitor approached, I gradually saw her countenance: the pure white hair that flowed down like waves showed that she was not young, but there was not a trace of wrinkles on her incomparably delicate faceβher face as beautiful as an angel shone with holy brilliance, and her beautiful and timeless figure under the white dress still maintained the beauty of an eighteen-year-old girl, exuding an incomparably graceful and elegant and solemn atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, the teacher has instructed me to greet you on his behalf." I bowed and said.
"Are you the heir of his choice? He...... Are you okay? When the syllable "he" was spoken, the Elven Queen's voice trembled slightly.
"The teacher passed away more than two months ago."
Listening to my words, the elven queen fell into deep thought, her spirit seemed to walk into the corridor of time, and I suddenly had a strange impression - although the elven queen in front of me was indeed standing in front of me, it seemed to become distant, and the body under the white robe gave me a sense of qualityless transparency and illusion.
"Osdu is finally relieved, after a thousand years of sorrow, he returns to Ashana's side again......" After a long time, the elf queen came back to her senses from the void, and her voice was full of emotion and gloom, "It's really lonely, and there is one less friend in the past...... Bernini has also returned to his rightful place, right? β
I nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The Elven Queen noticed Vivien beside me and said with a slight surprise, "Who is this from Osdu?" β
Vivien replied respectfully, "My name is Vivien, and I am also a student of the teacher. β
"It's really like that...... Although her appearance is different, her temperament of being weak on the outside and strong on the inside is really similar to Ashanna...... Surely he hurts you, little girl? β
"The teacher is really good to Vivian, just like a relative......" Vivian showed a look of concern and nostalgia on her face.
"It's really rare that a man like him would take in two of your students, and he always looks arrogant and rejects people thousands of miles away. In his eyes, except for Ashana, he had never seen any woman who admired him...... But his independent demeanor and compassionate broad-mindedness convinced all races, and they were willing to follow ......" The Elven Queen said softly, and in her calm words, I could clearly feel that she had a strange affection for Teacher Vitan.
The Elven Queen suddenly said to me, "Are you here to get the key to the Lost Forest?" β
I replied, "I'm here for the future of the elves!" β
β»β»β»
The Elven Queen looked at me and said, "I see what you mean...... Do you want to persuade my people to join your side?
Our people have lived here in peace for many years, and their lives have always been peaceful, and there is no reason to intervene in the disputes of the Holy Lun. I will not put my people in danger again. β
I shook my head and said, "Is it really nice to be curled up in a similar space?" Although the similar space is protected by the 'Elven Heart', it creates an environment suitable for the survival of the Elven Race, but after all, this is a space gap, and there are many unstable factors, each variable will change the balance of the space and bring the Elven Race a danger of extinction. Moreover, no matter how good the conditions here are, they are not as suitable for the survival and development of the nobility as the external environment. More importantly, under the influence of the war on the Holy Lun Continent, the nobles will inevitably be involved. Her Majesty, who believes in the wise, is also quite clear. Instead of walking on thin ice in the midst of many hidden dangers, it is better to work with me to create a future where all ethnic groups live in harmony, unity, and equality, establish a kingdom where all ethnic groups are the same, and complete the unfinished business of the Holy King. I can promise Your Majesty that the Holsman Plains, the homeland of the Elven Kingdom, will be returned to the noble people, so that the Elves can enjoy a fertile land and a good and happy life for the rest of their lives. β
"Young man, how much can I believe in your promise? You have great ambitions, but if you don't have enough strength to whisper, it's just an irresponsible lie. Do you think you are capable enough to live up to your commitments? The unity and peaceful coexistence of all races is indeed quite an attractive idea, and it is also the belief that Ostu held at the beginning, but can I entrust the fate of the elves to you because of your words? Besides, even Ostus failed at the beginning, do you think you can surpass the Holy King? The Elven Queen looked at me questioningly.
I smiled faintly and said, "How can you decide that you can't if you haven't tried it?" The reason why the teacher failed at the beginning was because he discovered the intentions of the gods too late, but he also proved to us that the gods are not invincible, and those who are as strong as the gods of war cannot defeat the teacher. The teacher has already given us a glimmer of hope, and all we have to do is if we follow this path to the glory of victory! As long as the hundred tribes can eliminate prejudices and unite as one, they will definitely be able to control their own destiny and no longer be played by the gods! I don't ask the nobles to help me with the power of the whole clan now, but I just hope to form an alliance with the nobles, and the nobles can wait and see for the time being, as long as they don't join any of the other forces of Shenglun and become a puppet of the gods again, and give me secret help at the right time. When I was strong enough, the nobles decided whether to help me or not and join my side. In this way, the nobles can not only take the initiative and manage the future of their clan, but also avoid risk-taking, so as not to cause irreparable losses, and have the opportunity to return to your homeland, so why not? β
"What a moving statement! The return of the Holsman Plains to our people is a very tempting condition...... Returning to Holsman is the eternal aspiration of our people......" A ripple of a smile appeared on the Elven Queen's face, "The basis of political cooperation is the distribution of interests, and you have been very keen to grasp the psychological desires and weaknesses of our people, and then set up a decoy - you are really not to be underestimated...... And what's even more rare is that you also have a certain convincing temperament similar to Oss......"
Seeing my somewhat confused gaze, the words changed: "But he doesn't have the nasty eyes of yours." As soon as this sentence came out, the originally serious atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
I smiled faintly and said, "Is this what His Majesty says about me?" β
The Elven Queen shook her head and said with a slight sarcasm, "I really don't understand how a nerdy magician with such a strict personality as Ostu could accept a frivolous and unruly student like you?" It seems that he has changed sexually ......" The rich expression on her face was quite moving, and when she talked about the "nerd" teacher, she actually had a coquettish look, and her eyes were full of a certain nostalgia and attachment.
I can't help but wonder: the elf queen back then should have been a delicate and willful girl, right? Maybe it's also a woman who is obsessed with Mr. Vitan? But in Teacher Vitan's heart, except for Ashana, she can't accommodate the existence of other women, so the elf queen can only be bitter for a lifetime......
I just said, "For the unusual, be the unusual...... I hope that Your Majesty will give me some consideration for my suggestion. β
After a long time, the elven queen continued: "You are a person who does not play cards according to the rules, and perhaps this can also be an ingredient for your success...... I will convene a meeting of elders to discuss your request...... In fact, according to the covenant with Osdu, our people should fully support you...... It is not a long-term solution for our clan to settle here, and it will be difficult for our clan to be immune to the changes in the future of the Shenglun Continent - we are all aware of this, but we still have to carefully study and discuss your identity and strength as the successor of the Holy King, because this is a major issue related to the survival of our clan's lifeline...... Please stay here for a few days, and I'll give you an explanation. β
With that, the Elven Queen gently drew an arc in the air with her fingers, and a five-colored diamond appeared from space, floating in front of her, and slowly moved to my side as if pulled by some force.
When the five-colored diamond rested in the air in front of my eyes, she said, "This 'St. Bian's Diamond' was made by Ostu from the best magic crystal, and now I will pass it on to you according to the agreement." In addition to being the key to unlocking the Lost Forest, this diamond also has the magical effect of magic amplification. β
I silently put away the "Diamond of St. Pian", and said, "Then I will disturb your country for a few days, and wait for good news." He saluted the Elven Queen with Vivien, then retreated out the door.
But the elven queen called them to them and said, "Young man, please stay! β
I turned around and said, "What else does Your Majesty command?" β
"Have you met my two daughters, Garsha Ruri and Sasha?"
Seeing that I nodded, the Elf Queen sighed and continued, "They are not my biological daughters, but my adopted daughters...... Five years ago, a group of noble soldiers of the Tranches Empire, led by the third prince of the empire, led by the third prince of the empire, miraculously crossed the Jieyun Mountains to the fairy forest to hunt, and Gasha Liuli and Sasha's parents were shot and killed by Clevan. They became poor orphans...... In particular, Ruri, who witnessed the shooting of her parents, has always been full of hatred and hostility towards humans. So if she has any offense to you, hopefully you won't mind. β
I sighed lightly, and only then did I understand why Gasha Ruri was hostile and hostile to me, but at this time, I only chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, although I am a little narrow-minded, I am still very generous to women." β
"Your generosity is still selective...... Since you said so, I have no choice but to believe you...... I only hope that she will not cross your line and cause you irreparable harm...... Even if our people can't make an alliance with you, they don't want to make enemies like you...... Young man, you must be tired from coming all the way, please rest in the accommodation arranged by our clan. Your strength through the fog has earned you the respect of our warriors, and they will entertain you warmly. The elven queen sighed faintly, looking a little sad and helpless.

Vivien and I left the white building and were led by several elven warriors to a two-story pink house not far from the lake to the west, and then even Luo Bai was brought here.
The house is quite spacious, there are three rooms on the first and second floors, painted pink inside and out, it looks warm and natural, quite comfortable, I let Luo Bai live on the first floor, and Vivien and I occupy two connected rooms on the second floor.
Luo Bai seemed to be mentally exhausted, and seemed to have been treated with "special" hospitality by the elves, but he had not been physically tortured, and went back to his room to sleep before lunch. Vivien and I chatted as we enjoyed lunch brought by the elven maids. Lunch consisted mainly of fruits, vegetables, fish and grilled meats, but they were very delicious.
At the table, Vivien said a little stunned, "I wonder if I can still see Sasha?" "It seems that Vivien is very fond of that little elven girl.
I had to comfort: "Don't worry, we'll meet." Maybe that weird little girl will jump out of nowhere and scare us! β
After lunch we went back to our rooms, and I slept soundly until Vivien knocked on the door, and found that it was late evening.
Pulling open the door, Vivien pulled me by the door when she saw me and said, "Snoozer! You're going to be a pig! Don't you feel sorry for sleeping while not admiring such a beautiful view? The scenery outside is so beautiful! Come out for a walk with me, an esthetician is in vain if he misses the view. β
Vivien and I went downstairs together, but we still didn't see Mr. Thief, I don't know if he was still sleeping or if he was out.
We went out and walked along the five-colored path to the lake on the west side, and the elves we met along the way looked at us with curious eyes, and some of them nodded at us, and seemed quite friendly - maybe they already knew my identity and invested their respect for the teacher on me, so they didn't exclude us because we were human, and we didn't feel watched along the way - it seemed that we were really treated as honored guests, and I couldn't help but feel good about the elves in my heart.
In fact, the elven race is a very pure and friendly race among all the races in the continent, and if there is no Bailing War, they are very willing to get along with humans in a friendly way. The Bailing War was an unwarranted disaster for the elves, who were largely forced to intervene - the natural-yearning, milder elves had no ambitions for the mainland.
Vivien and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the sunset by the lake: the red sunset that fell on the horizon was like the streamers of a beautiful girl's dress, and the occasional unicorn with a golden glow swept across the sky. The water of the lake is clear and clear, the surface of the lake is as flat as a mirror, occasionally there are fish playing and swimming among the aquatic plants, and sometimes there are dragonflies and birds on the surface of the lake to point up golden ripples. The green grass on the shore of the lake, when a gentle wind blows, if countless small hands waving in the wind, one after another, and the sparkling, golden lake at this time constitutes a still and moving picture.
In the midst of a landscape away from the hustle and bustle of the world, my mood seems very calm and calm, and if I had a paintbrush in my hand, I am afraid that I will impromptu it, and this feeling is like returning to the days when I studied painting with Mr. Vitan.
On the other hand, I also have to admire the tremendous power of the "Elven Heart" and the powerful magical strength of the Elven people, who can completely mimic the beautiful scenery of nature.
When the vision became hazy, Vivien and I returned to our residence.

When it was time for dinner, Luo Bai finally came out of the room, and when he saw us, he didn't say hello, just silently swallowed the food, as if he was hungry, but because he was in too much of a hurry, he was swallowed by the food.
Vivien handed him a glass of water and said, "Mr. Thief, don't be in a hurry, you can take it if you have a lot of food." β
Luo Bai took the water cup, drank the whole glass of water with a grunt, and then took a long breath and said, "His grandmother's, I was almost swallowed to death!" These elves are so vicious that they want to swallow me to death with food! Hmph, I just don't want them to be satisfied! His grandmother's, I want to eat the poor! β
After saying that, he continued to gobble up.
I looked at this inexplicable thief with interest, but Vivien said kindly: "Mr. Thief, the people of the elves are very friendly and will not harm you, they are all very hospitable, I'm afraid you misunderstood." β
After a while, Luo Bai finally stopped, glanced up at Vivien, her eyes looked extremely hollow, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Mr. Thief, are you alright? Is there something wrong with it? β
Listening to Vivian's words, Luo Bai showed a desperate expression, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I worked hard last night, and all the treasures I stole back after a night of hard work were retrieved by them...... I don't want to live anymore......"
Hearing such an answer, I was both angry and funny, and scolded: "You deserve to die!" Others are polite to you, and I would have killed you a long time ago! β
Vivien persuaded her: "You stole someone's things, and now it's right to return them to their original owners." Don't be sad, Mr. Thief. β
Luo Bai didn't dare to refute my words, but said: "That stinky woman named Gaza Liuli is really vicious, and even the other treasures on my body have been looted...... Pity my collection for many years, this is even more vicious than killing me! I will curse her to the god of thieves, so that she will not be happy for the rest of her life, and she will not be able to marry for the rest of her life...... I...... I'm not at odds with her! This enmity is not shared...... I want revenge...... I'm going to steal her and I don't have any ...... left."
I said lightly: "The person you are looking for is right in front of you, and you can take revenge on her now." β
Hearing my words, Luo Bai jumped up and quickly hid behind me, all the rhetoric was forgotten, like a mouse meeting a cat, looking at the extra person at the door in fear.
β»β»β»
Garsha Liuli stood in front of me angrily, her face burned red with excitement, and even her eyes seemed to burst into flames, and the jade finger on the handle of the sword in her right hand had turned white from excessive force, but the object of her anger was not Luo Bai - it was me!
"Alex, it is you who have brought misfortune and calamity to my people! You are the root of all evil! I'll kill you! Without saying a word, Gartha raised her sword and slashed at me.
β»β»β»
I tilted my head to avoid a sword, quickly grabbed the "unnamed" on the table, and then flew around the dining table, spotted a point in the sword light, stabbed sideways, and sealed all the sword momentum of Garsha Liuli, and then said coldly: "Gasha Liuli, you are too unreasonable!" β
Garsha Liuli's swordsmanship is actually quite clever, but the flaws in the swordsmanship are fully exposed under the anger, and in front of my swordsmanship that integrates aesthetics, it is naturally easy to be restrained.
Facing the sword momentum of the "unnamed" remote finger in my hand, Gasha Liuli could no longer hand over the sword, but still said indignantly: "Where am I making trouble? Because of your arrival, our peaceful kingdom is no longer peaceful, and everyone is making a lot of noise about your affairs, and at the council of elders in the afternoon, the elders are arguing and arguing! What do you say you are not the source of the calamity? If you want to fight and kill yourself, why should you involve my people? Destroying the peace and tranquility of our people? β
"You're wrong, Princess Ruri!" I said softly, but there was a momentum in my tone, "This is a problem that nobles will have to face sooner or later, and my arrival has only made this problem intensify early." I have only played the role of a catalyst to make you decide to lift the surface of peace and comfort and face up to the crisis that already exists. It is not a bad thing to be able to face up to the essence of the problem as soon as possible, make a plan as soon as possible, and take precautions. β
After listening to my words, Garsha Liuli's mood calmed down slightly, but she refused to stop there: "Don't say it so beautifully! No matter how high-sounding your words are, they can't hide your sinister intentions! You're just trying to use my elves to work for you! Have you ever thought about how many of our people's lives will have to be sacrificed for your own ambitions?! β
I was not moved by her words, but said indifferently: "If you want to guess my intentions like this, I can't help it." But my cooperation with the elves is undoubtedly a mutually beneficial act, and while achieving my goal, the nobles will also get what they need, and the combination of interests can be maintained for a long time, which is far more tangible and meaningful than any righteous name. There is a price to be paid for doing anything, and if you want to seek the eternal prosperity and peace of the elf race, you must pay sacrifices, and the key depends on how the nobles choose. Her Majesty is a great king who knows the situation well, and I believe that the nobles will make the right decision, which is not something that can be influenced by the actions or words of an outsider. β
With that, I stood with my hands in my hands, yawned lazily, and then continued, "Your Highness Princess, please do not be hostile to every human because of past misfortunes. Hatred only blinds wisdom, and preconceived notions can only lead to assumptions, so that it is impossible to see the way ahead. β
"You got it...... Mother told you......" Garsha Liuli's tone was obviously weak, and the powerful and fiery elven princess showed a heart-wrenching look on her face, "Mother even told you such things, it seems that she trusts you very much...... Mother never missees people. β
Suddenly, Gasha Ruri showed an angry expression on her face again, and said, "But why do you ask to marry me off to you, and use marriage to strengthen the so-called covenant?" The afternoon elders' meetings were all about this issue, and I heard it all! Taking advantage of people's danger and unreasonable coercion, isn't this despicable?! β
I calmly replied, "So you're here for this...... I didn't ask for that......"
I thought about it carefully, understood the reason for the incident, and said, "I want to ...... Historically, political cooperation between races has often considered the use of marriage to eliminate mutual suspicions, so it is understandable that some noble elders who were inclined to accept the covenant intended to use their in-laws to consolidate the interests of the nobility. β
Garsha Ruri shouted excitedly, "I don't want to marry you!" β
"I have no intention of getting you in this way," I said in a softened voice, "but if this is the only way to dispel the doubts of the nobles, I am afraid I will have to accept it in order to make an alliance." Although you have a bad personality and are very willful, I don't mind marrying you. β
"Why...... Are you all like this, for the sake of so-called interests and lofty goals, completely ignoring my feelings? Is the value of my existence just an object in exchange for your interests? Even her mother ...... like this," Garsha Ruri looked a little depressed and sad.
"Gartha Ruri, please calm down and look at the problem, as a princess of the kingdom, what you have to consider is not the issue of personal happiness and feelings, the first thing to consider is the happiness and future of all the people of the elven kingdom. This is a responsibility given to you by your status, and there are many ways to take responsibility, and sacrificing your own happiness for the happiness of your people is also one of them. In fact, marrying me is not a tragedy and an unacceptable thing. I will cherish the women around me with my life. And I can see that your mother loves you and Sasha very much, and if she really wants to marry you to me, she must also think that I am a person worthy of your life. If you can accept me without prejudice and successfully fulfill my covenant with the elves, not only will you open up a new future for the nobles, but you will also have the opportunity to kill your own parents' enemies. Because in the competition on the Saint Lun Continent, only one side of me and the Tranches Empire can exist in the end, which in itself is a fateful duel. β
When I mentioned the Alien Empire, Gasha Ruri had a complicated expression of fear and hatred on her face, and said a little unconsciously: "The third prince of the Alien Empire...... It's really scary...... He stood in front of me with a bloody sword, and his handsome face showed an incomparably hideous expression, just like that...... With such a light sword, he cut off his father's head...... Another sword...... and broke open the lower abdomen of his mother...... Those eyes, which were even more gloomy than death, were so cold from beginning to end, without a trace of human feelings...... The bloody sword was held high above my head, glowing with blood...... When my people arrived, he suddenly put away his sword, smiled devilishly and said, 'I've had enough today!' Tiny elves, remember my nameβI am Christan, the third prince of the Tranches Empire. Trunkis! Then he ignored the attacks of my people and departed......"
Speaking of this, Garsha Ruri was so verbose and helpless, and her voice turned into a cry: "I will never forget those death-like eyes and demonic smile...... That terrifying human who looks like a teenager but looks like the reincarnation of a demon god......"
I put my hands on her trembling shoulders and whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have caused you sad memories...... Let the past pass, if you can't get rid of the past, and imprison your mind forever in the nightmares and sorrows of the past, there will be no joy in life...... Learn to free yourself, get out of the demonic nightmare, and find your own happiness. β
Gartha Ruri looked up at me, and two strings of tears shining like pearls hung on her delicate face, and suddenly "! He smiled and said, "I can't imagine that you are usually fierce, always look very cold, and sometimes you are very gentle and say such emotional words...... Thank you, sorry for the inconvenience tonight! I went back. β
At this time, Gasha Liuli no longer has the usual firestorm, and she looks very weak and moving.
"Who is usually fierce! I'm afraid it's you," I said with a wry smile, "and the princess walked slowly...... Take my word to me, learn to free yourself, don't always act like someone owes you money β give someone a chance, and give yourself a chance. If you really can't accept my words, I don't want to force you, I will try to discuss with the noble elders in other ways instead, I believe that the mother who loves you so much does not want her daughter to meet misfortune. β
"I'll remember," Garsha Ruri said, turning her head with a sly smile on her face, "and it dawned on me that marrying you wasn't a very nasty thing to do. β
After saying that, he ran away with a smoke, and he came and went in a hurry suddenly, always in a hurry.
I shook my head with a wry smile, and suddenly remembered a sentence that I don't know who had said - a girl's heart is as fickle as the weather, dark clouds can be transformed into sunshine in an instant, you can hate you for a lifetime inexplicably, or you can love you desperately for a lifetime, there is no reason at all, so that men can never guess.
I turned around, but I saw Vivien looking at me with a smile on her face, and Luo Bai had already run away when Gasha Liuli handed me the sword, and I didn't even notice how he had left, which showed that the thieves were good at the skills of escape.
"Vivien, are you jealous?" I said softly suddenly. Vivien shook her head slightly, but her smile was already a little forced.
"Alec, I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep...... Vivien whispered, turning to go upstairs, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Vivien, I'm sorry......" I hugged Vivian from behind, wrapped my hands around her waist and wrapped them around her lower abdomen, and said softly, "It makes you feel miserable......
Vivien shrugged her shoulders and cried, and said in a trembling voice, "Alec, I didn't mean to confuse you...... I don't want that either...... It's just that Vivien can't control her heart...... When I saw that you were kind to Princess Liuli, I longed that you could do the same to Vivien...... I know that Sister Li Binglan is the favorite in your heart, and Vivien doesn't dare to think of taking her place in your heart...... Vivien just wants to be by your side forever and love you well, and that's enough...... But when Vivien thinks that she can't help you by your side, she can't be your arm in your career like Princess Liuli...... When she thought of this, Vivien felt that she was useless...... It's just going to be a burden to you, and I'm so afraid that one day you'll no longer want Vivien......"
"Little fool, how could I not want you! You are one of the most cherished and important people in my life, and you have become a treasured collection of my Alex, and I can't escape if I want to...... As I promised you, you will never want to run away from me in this life unless one day you are determined to leave me. β
I said lovingly, turned Vivien's delicate body around, took it deep into my arms, hugged the warmth tightly, and then gently held her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, slowly put my lips on her lips, and kissed them deeply.
By the time her lips parted, Vivien's little face had turned red, and her moist lips were as delicate as roses, very seductive.
"Alec, if you want, Vivien can ......" Vivien's voice was as soft as an ant, and it was difficult to hide the girl's shyness, but she looked up firmly, bravely meeting my fiery gaze.
With that, Vivien shyly buried her head in my arms, her hands clinging to my broad back.
"Vivien, can you really do it...... If I do, you'll never look back......" I pressed my cheek against her soft, textured hair, smelling the girlish scent of her, feeling her rapid breathing and pounding heartbeat, and my body temperature seemed to rise with it, and I was surrounded by a sense of restlessness.
Suddenly, I felt Vivien's fingers gently swiping the words "I love you" on my back, and I couldn't hold back my heartbeat, so I picked up Vivien's delicate body, climbed the stairs, pushed open the door, and gently placed her on the bed.
In the surging of love, Vivien's clothes were stripped off one by one...... Soon, her perfect carcass with delicate curves was presented to me.
Vivien's eyes were tightly closed, her hands were unconsciously hidden on her face, her delicate body trembled slightly, and under the soft starlight and flickering candlelight, the beautiful spring light continued to impact my senses.
Vivien...... "I whispered her name, and with no more control of my inner hope, I lay down beside her, and my hands climbed up to her perfect body......
In the passion that constantly intertwined with mian, after experiencing the pain from a girl to a woman, Vivi has already understood how to respond to my enthusiasm implicitly, crying and constantly calling my name: "Alex...... Alex...... You are completely mine at this moment......"
That night, I finally had Vivien, and she became the first woman in my life.
