Chapter Forty-Eight: The Transaction of Serranduil

In the center of the Giant Tree Castle, the King of the Wood Elves, Seran Duyi, sat on the throne and looked condescendingly at Xiao Yechen below.

Xiao Yechen raised his head slightly, looked at Seran Duyi with a faint smile, confident and calm eyes, and did not show the slightest cowardice.

After a long time, Serandu Yi laughed loudly and praised: "Sure enough, it is not a person who is favored by Galadriel, not to mention the extraordinary skills, and the composure that is not shocked by this honor and disgrace alone is not comparable to ordinary people!" ”

"Your Majesty has won the prize, Xiao is just an ordinary adventurer!" Xiao Yechen looked inconvenient when he heard this, and replied indifferently.

"Oh? If it is said that Galadriel can give away the fountain of life to exist is also a general user, then there is no other person in this world who is not a general user! ”

"Huh? How would His Majesty know? Xiao Yechen's face sank, this was his secret, how could this person know?

Seeing Xiao Yechen's expression change slightly, Seran Duyi understood in his heart that Xiao Yechen might have misunderstood, and immediately explained:

"The Fountain of Life is a sacred relic to my entire elven clan, and anyone who consumes it will emit an aura that makes us elves closer. So, from the first time I saw you, I knew you had taken the Fountain of Life. ”

Xiao Yechen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, arched his hand, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for solving my doubts, but I don't know what Your Majesty called me for?" ”

"Mr. Xiao's strength is strong, even in my entire Wood Elf clan, I'm afraid I can't find an opponent who can match you!"

After a moment of silence, Serranduil did not answer directly, but sighed alone.

Xiao Yechen frowned slightly, didn't answer, and waited quietly for the other party's next step.

Seeing this, Serranduil's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and then he said, "I know the purpose of your and the dwarves' group, I want to ask, how sure are you about the fire dragon Smaug in Irubi?" ”

"I—I'm not sure!" Xiao Yechen thought about it and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? What does that mean? ”

"I haven't met Smaug, and all the information is from Thorin and some of the dwarves' descriptions. So, I wasn't sure until I met Smaug and really understood its strength. ”

“……”

Seran Duyi was silent again, Xiao Yechen's answer made him not know how to speak, and he didn't know what to say!

After a long time, Xiao Yechen said again: "However, no matter what Smaug's strength is, I think I still have the strength to protect myself!" ”

"What? Can you protect yourself? Is this true? Cerrandui asked, shocked, with some horror. You know, in the whole of Middle-earth, except for the so-called Demon Lord Sauron, no one dares to say that he can 100% protect me in front of Smaug.

"Nature is true!" Xiao Yechen's tone was affirmative, without hesitation.

"Good! Good! Good! Xiao Yechen's answer made Seran Duyi laugh, and three "good" in a row spit out of his mouth. It took a long time to regain his composure and said to Xiao Yechen: "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao's strength to far exceed our imagination!" ”

"In that case, here I would like to ask you to do me a favor?"

"What's the busy?"

Serrandui stepped down from the throne, paced in front of Xiao Yechen, and said, "If you can enter Irubor smoothly, please help me find something from it for me." ”

"What's that?" Xiao Yechen knew what the other party wanted, but he still asked quietly.

"Starlight Gem! In the Irub Treasury, there is a chest of pure white star gems! With a twinkle in his eyes, Seranduil said softly.

"Do you elves still covet these things?" Xiao Yechen was puzzled, when he watched the previous movies, he had thought that he had always been a gem, could there be such a great charm that could make a king of elves change his temperament?

"This..."Thrandui pondered for a moment, but then replied, "The Starlight Gem may be just a box of gems in the eyes of others, but in the hearts of our Wood Elves, it is a holy relic second only to the Fountain of Life, and it has a great effect on my entire Wood Elf clan!" ”

As for the specific role, Seran Duyi didn't say it, and Xiao Yechen didn't ask again, he knew that this should involve the secret of the wood elf clan, and if he asked, he wouldn't say it, and he would be dissatisfied.

It was Xiao Yechen who nodded and said, "Yes, if I enter Irubi, on the premise of self-preservation, I can help you find the Starlight Gem." However, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find it! ”

"I understand, just do your best! If not, then maybe it's the life of my Wood Elf clan! Serranduil let out a long sigh, his expression a little gloomy, and he did not force it.

……

At the back door of the Ancient Tree Castle, Xiao Yechen left the ancient castle with Solin and his party, packed up his weapons, and Solin frowned and asked, "Mr. Xiao, how did you convince that guy from Serranduil to agree to let us go?" ”

"Nothing, just a deal!"

"Deal?! What is the deal? An inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes, and Thorin continued.

"I'll give him the Starlight Gem, and he'll let you go!" Xiao Yechen said lightly.

"But ......"

"What, what, you don't believe me? Or do you want me to break my promise? Xiao Yechen glanced at him, stopped and asked.

Seeing that Xiao Yechen's tone was wrong, Suo Lin was stunned, and hurriedly said: "No, no, how can I not believe Mr. Xiao!" I just don't want to believe that perfidious fellow of Serranduil! As for that starlight gem, it's not a valuable thing, sir, you can take it if you want! ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Yechen didn't say anything more, and continued to move forward, leaving Solin behind him to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

In fact, the real deal was not to let Zolin and them leave, but a surprisingly clear bead in Xiao Yechen's space.

This bead is the reward given to him by Serandui, which is the essence of the moon made by the wood elves to collect the moonlight in the sky, which has a strong healing effect, in addition, it can also stabilize the injury, any injury, as long as it is not killed on the spot, it can be used to hang his life, it is a rare treasure.

After Xiao Yechen and his party left, the female elf captain Tao Ruier and a team of elven warriors also followed out of Chen Castle, and Yao Yaofa followed behind the dwarf team.

Xiao Yechen knew the existence of this team, and it was also what he requested. Because he knew that there were still many orcs chasing them outside the castle, and having this elven army behind him to help intercept them would save him a lot less trouble and save a lot of time.

Without the obstacle of the half-orcs, Xiao Yechen and his party had significantly accelerated their journey, and it didn't take long for them to come to Changhu.
