Chapter 40: The Forest of Elves

In the distance, the sun was rising, and Leah lowered her head, the sun falling on her long hair, and a pair of ears that were slightly longer than human were very playful.

"I still have very important things to do, and I will never return to the mainland after leaving this time." Ling Tian glanced at Barna, then turned his gaze to Riya.

He's waiting for Leah's choice.

"...... Leah"

Nervin looked at the hesitation and hesitation on Lia's face, and sighed slightly, but she couldn't give any opinion on this kind of thing.

Although Leah is her subordinate, the relationship between the two is like glue, and she doesn't want Liya to have any burden when making such a big decision.

"Can you accompany me back to the Elven Forest?" After a long time, Liya raised her head and looked at Ling Tian pleadingly, she must have asked her brother's opinion, although the Elven Forest is not a very friendly place for humans.

It's been a long time since humans have entered it.

"Of course, no matter what happens in the end, I will respect your choice." Ling Tian nodded, his promise made Liya breathe a sigh of relief slightly.

……

The journey back to Divine Heaven was going well, and Beskod found Cook's army, which was rushing to help, and Cook opened his mouth wide when he learned that the black dragon had been killed.

There was a deviation from the beginning of the plan, there were not many monsters on the frontline battlefield, and Cook was still worried about whether the dragon slayer team would have been surrounded and killed by the black dragon monsters when he brought the army over, but the result made him unbelievable.

But in any case, the ultimate goal was finally achieved, Cook conveyed the order to withdraw, and the army began to retreat along the route from which it came.

Ling Tian and his party asked Cook for a spaceship, and it took about three days to return to the Divine Heaven, Nervin took Ria and Ling Tian to open the teleportation array first, and the three of them returned to the Elven Forest together.

Out of the teleportation array, it was a square outside the main city of elves, different from the human capital, the vegetation here was dense, and some of the elves guarding the teleportation array saw Ling Tian and cast a wary gaze.

They had all heard about the alliance between the elves and humans, but the habits of the long war still did not make them let their guard down, even though the human had been brought back by Nervin.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to the Duke." Nervin chuckled and led the two into the city.

The city was not lively, and occasionally the elves passing by stopped respectfully to salute after seeing Nervin, and these elves looked at Ling Tian very strangely.

Humans, shouldn't be here.

Ling Tian was unmoved, he didn't even think about symbolically hiding himself, and followed Nervin all the way to the Duke's Palace.

The gatekeepers, two male elves, saw Nervin come and saluted, and stretched out their hands to stop them.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, are you here to find the Duke, please let me wait for the first report." After the guard saluted, he looked at Ling Tian with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Nervin frowned, but finally nodded and stood outside the door waiting.

Waiting, waiting, for a long time, until even Nervin became impatient, the elf who reported the news came out of the duke's palace.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Royal Highness the Duke has something important to do, please come on another day." The guard bowed his head, but his tone was not apologetic, and Nervin was a little annoyed, snubbing was not elven hospitality.

Ling Tian shrugged his shoulders helplessly and tidied up Liya's clothes: "It seems that your family doesn't really want to see me, why don't I stay for the time being and come back to visit at another time?" ”

Leah lowered her head, her eyes a little gloomy, she understood what her brother meant.

"You have to wait for me, I will convince my brother." Liya looked up at Ling Tian directly, plucked up her courage, and stood on tiptoe to peck Ling Tian's lips.

Everyone froze in place, as if they didn't expect Leah to be so bold.

But soon Ling Tian understood what she meant, and Liya was conveying her persistence and thoughts to the duke.

After doing all this, Lia walked into the Duke's Palace, Nervin smiled apologetically at Ling Tian, and followed in, but the guards did not stop him this time.

……

After separating from Liya, Ling Tian stayed in the central square of Elf City until the evening, and in order to prevent trouble, Ling Tian exchanged a cloak from the system mall.

There was no hotel to accept humans, so he could only stay in this place.

The sky gradually darkened, and the streets lit up with a green light like fireflies, Ling Tian stood up and hid his body under the black cloak.

The occasional patrolling elf team on the road was evaded by Ling Tian in advance, and after a while, they came to the Duke's Mansion and climbed over the towering wall.

The night was as dark as ink, and under the cover of night, the whole Duke's Palace seemed a little hazy.

Ling Tian quietly shuttled through the mansion, although he was not very proficient in the architectural structure of the elf clan, but in the end he still found the room where the duke lived.

For no other reason, the duke's energy fluctuations were so noticeable that there was no convergence at all, so that he could easily find out.

It was a rather large house, the gate was not closed, and a green screen blocked the scene behind the door.

Ling Tian frowned, walked out from behind the flower bed where he was hiding, and walked into the room without any disguise, and sure enough, he saw a figure with his back to him.

"You know I'm coming?"

Pulling a chair and sitting down, Ling Tian's eyes were a little curious, and of course, there was also a hint of caution.

"I don't know, but I think you might come." The person in the room turned around, revealing a handsome face, this is a male elf, wearing very luxurious accessories, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Leah.

The title badge hanging on the male elf's chest represented his noble status as a duke, and after turning around, the duke kept looking at Ling Tian with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze.

"You should know what I'm here to do." Ling Tian looked at the duke, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Yes." The Duke nodded, and did not deny it.

"And what about your answer?" Ling Tian put away his smile and said in a serious tone.

"I'm not going to agree to it." The Duke looked at Ling Tian with an unusually firm attitude.

Ling Tian sneered and stood up from his seat.

"I'm going to take her away, you can't stop me." Standing opposite the duke, Ling Tian stared at the duke's eyes.

The duke's face did not fluctuate at all, and he asked lightly: "What if Liya disagrees?" ”

"She won't." Ling Tian's tone was firm.

The Duke looked at Ling Tian, his tone was still indifferent: "You can't find her, naturally you can't wait for her answer." ”

"What if I find it?"

"Then let you take her away."

"Yes."

The corners of Ling Tian's mouth rose slightly, and he raised his hand slightly, and wisps of ice silk extended from his hand and spread out of the room.
