The Magic Crystal Mine, located about 30 kilometers east of Cologne City, not far from the mining area, has a large area of towering forests, which is the territory of the Giant Tree Elf Clan.

After completing the merger contract procedure between the Eternal Kingdom and Cologne City, the next day, Ding Lei, who was dressed in black knight armor, came to the mining operation site under the leadership of the city lord's adjutant.

The collection is going on as usual.

The workers entered the cave as high as a hill empty-handed, then came out with a bag of blue crystals on their backs, placed them in a large warehouse, and returned to the mine.

Ding Lei came to the warehouse, and the guard at the door saw him, and at the same time glanced at the adjutant next to him, didn't say anything, and led them into the warehouse office.

The mine is closed and goes home once a month, so the people here don't know about the deeds of the hero Addo, and it is impossible for them to know that Cologne is now part of the Eternal Kingdom and renamed the Golden City.

In the small warehouse inventory office, there are two desks, and behind each sit two figures who are immersed in office, a human and an elf, and the tables are piled up with all kinds of documents.

"Excuse me." The guard spoke, and at the same time flashed to the side, and the two in the office looked up at the door together.

Ding Lei walked in with the adjutant.

"Roland, don't come unharmed." The adjutant greeted with a smile.

The human young man named Roland in the room looked about 30 years old, with long straight black hair covering his ears, and the fatigue of his whole body was written on his face, but the moment he saw the adjutant, he stood up and said excitedly: "Can I go back?" ”

Ding Lei glanced at the counting officer, and at the same time turned to the adjutant beside him.

"Roland is the logistics minister of Cologne, and at the same time, like me, he is a confidant of Lord Earl, so he was sent here to supervise the work, after all, he is not at ease, isn't it."

After the adjutant finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Roland, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is our Protector Marshal, Black Eagle Knight, we are now a member of the Eternal Realm, and we will understand it when you go back." But I'm sorry, you can't leave right now, after all, you can't do without this place. ”

At the same time, he introduced to Ding Lei again: "Roland is a half-elf, who can speak elven language, and it is easier to communicate with those long ears. ”

The half-elf Roland took the long hair that covered his ears very appropriately and pulled it down, so that Ding Lei could see his ears that were slightly longer than humans and shorter than elves.

Ding Lei nodded and said, "I want to see the Elf King, I need you to be a translator, and help me introduce you." With that, he looked ahead and looked up at the elves here.

Roland glanced back, frowned, and said, "Yes, it's okay, but it's a bit troublesome......"

"When it's done, I'll send someone to take your place and let you go home." Ding Lei interrupted directly.

Given the conditions that the half-elf wanted most, the latter immediately said respectfully: "I would like to listen to the marshal!" With that, he walked over to the elf and began to communicate with him.

Ding Lei turned his head to look at the adjutant and said, "I have to trouble you to take care of it here." ”

"Where can you get this 'hot potato' away, we can't ask for it...... You're really going to send someone over after that, right? ”

"Yes."

The adjutant smiled and nodded.

The elf had already communicated, and the half-elf took a sign, came to Ding Lei's side and said, "Marshal......"

"Just call me Addo, you don't have to be so formal."

"Okay Mr. Addo, let's go."

Roland went out as he spoke, and he didn't even say hello to the adjutant, he wanted to leave this hellish place so much!

The adjutant shook his head with a wry smile, Ding Lei nodded at him, and then followed.

On the way, Roland's steps were brisk, and he was humming a song in his mouth.

"You look happy." Ding Lei said in the back.

"That place sucks, you know? If it weren't for Arthur's kindness to me, I wouldn't have gone back. ”

"Oh?"

Roland pointed to his ear, which he covered with his long hair, and said: "Half-elf, excluded by both societies, Earl Arthur doesn't mind this, he accepts me very calmly, and also gives me a place in both societies." ”

"Yes."

Ding Lei didn't know what to say to him, but the half-elf was like he hadn't spoken for a long time, chattering all the way.

Maybe...... That's why Arthur sent him here......

Ding Lei listened to the noise in his ears on the road, expecting to talk to the elf king later, and when he came back to his senses, they had already arrived at the elven territory.

Looking up, the majestic giant trees that cover the sky and the sun are displayed in front of you, each of which is quite wide between them, and at the same time, the huge tree poles that extend out are intertwined with each other.

Ding Lei looked at his feet, and his whole person was not as big as one-tenth of the thinnest roots of the giant tree.

Neat steps wrap around each tree, all spiraling straight up.

"It looks like a condominium."

Ding Lei looked at the light lit up outside the layers of giant trees, dense, like fireflies in the forest, and as far as the eye could see, every giant tree had it.

"I didn't expect there to be so many elves...... I thought ......"

"Very little?" Roland said beside him: "Originally, the fertility rate of elves was very low, but since the discovery of a magical well water, the number of elves has skyrocketed, but it has also caused a series of troubles and caused a ......disaster."

"Stop!" High up in front of the tree trunk, a large group of elven archers pointed their arrows here.

“…… Disaster. I'm sorry, I'm Roland, the representative of Cologne City, this is our marshal, and he also represents the will of our country, and now, our will requires a dialogue with your elven king, there is something important. The half-elf said as he held the pass token in his hand high for them to see.

Ding Lei couldn't help but glance at the half-elf beside him, this guy is verbose and verbose, and he is quite capable of doing things.

The elves above looked at each other, all put away their weapons, and one of them jumped down, took the token in Roland's hand and looked at it, then handed it back and said to Ding Lei: "Please come with me." ”

Following the elf captain, after a long level, in the depths of the giant forest, a giant tree more majestic than the others unfolded in front of you.

In the central hall of this behemoth, the two met the legendary elf king, who should be said to be the elf queen.

She has a beautiful face, a delicate high crown on her head to form a hairpin, slender white temples hanging on both sides, and a gorgeous golden dress all reveal the other party's noble status. Around sat a circle of elven nobles dressed in gorgeous costumes,

At this moment, the queen was lazily lying on her side on the wide throne, looking at Ding Lei with her peaceful blue eyes, and said, "The envoy of Cologne City, why are you here?" ”
