Chapter 148: The Elven King's Trial
The flying ship stopped at the foot of the mountain, in front of a circular platform. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is surrounded by gorgeous halls one after another, and the stone buildings bear the marks of the wind and rain that have been formed by the years of wind and rain.
In the center of the complex, countless stone steps of equal size are paved into a staircase that leads to the top of the mountain, like a ladder.
Looking up, you can vaguely see the top of the mountain, surrounded by faint clouds.
A row of elven guards, dressed in heavy armor and armed with long spears, stood on either side of the entrance to the ladder.
Their armor was so tightly knit that not a single trace of fabric could be seen, and even their faces were hidden under their thick helmets.
Everything shone with a golden glow.
Mespier waved his hand, and the elves on board escorted the prisoner down the platform.
Follow the avenue at the foot of the hill and head in the other direction.
Probably going to prison......
At this point, we have completely lost the opportunity to kill him.
No, it should be said that from the moment Mespil appeared, we had lost our chance.
Now I can only pray in my heart.
When Mespier interrogated the Assassin, he did not confess what magic I had used on him.
As soon as the word 'scorched earth elf' appears.
An elf like Mespier, who is proficient in magic, will surely find out what the problem is the first to be.
"So"
The prince turned around and looked at me and Liu Xiao.
"Ellie's psychic medium seems to have enough strength to make it through this staircase"
The prince gave me a 'it would be too bad if you couldn't.'
Then he looked at Liu Xiao again.
"But it seems that Liu Xiao has no intention of going up"
"Then let's ......"
The Elven King raised his right hand slightly.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept up from the round platform.
Swirling around us like a whirlwind.
Don't......
"Hurricane Hanging Gate"
Whoa, who
A violent whirlwind gathered around us, thickening and thickening.
Wraps us all in a tight bind.
A gray-green magical glow filled the whirlwind, obscuring our vision.
Followed by......
The wind began to wane, and the magic gradually dimmed.
A hall.
The whirlwind has not yet dissipated, and we are already in a hall.
There is a rotunda about twenty or thirty meters wide.
I don't know how high the dome is, but it feels like the roof is far from the ground, and it feels like a missile silo.
The round vault resembles a cathedral.
However, it is made of gemstones, so it casts a variety of beautiful colors from the roof.
On the ground is a regular octagonal pattern.
It is made of emerald green and dark blue gemstones set in pale golden mountain rocks.
There are also gems of other colors that piece together the shape of a spell.
The jewel-covered floor shone unusually in the sunlight.
The lighting in the hall is exceptionally good.
Because there are many arc-shaped stone gates around it, with two pure white stone pillars and a semicircular stone arch made of doors.
The foot is three or four meters high, and eight, evenly distributed around.
In the center of the hall is a throne carved out of pale yellow marble.
Compared to this glittering hall, the throne is very unremarkable.
That's what it is...... The Elven King's Throne Hall?
There were circles of elves standing around that looked more noble.
There were young and old, men and women.
There are those who are plainly dressed but have an extraordinary bearing, and there are those who are luxurious and gorgeous.
A few of them, who looked a little bit of a cow, were about to lose their temper at the whirlwind magic, and when they saw that it was Mespil, they quickly shut their mouths.
Wait, are these elves here to congratulate Mespil?
There is no master of ceremonies.
No one read the oath either.
Maispear turned and walked over to an old man and bowed his head slightly.
The elf's long white beard was about to fall to the ground, and he kissed it softly on the top of Meispil's head.
"The Spruce Family is your strong backing, Your Majesty Mespil, bless you as much as you bless all the elves of the Dawn Mountains"
Mespil looked up and greeted the elf in front of him.
In this way, Maispear received the blessing of the eight elves.
But there is no owner of Red Cliff City, Ellie's mother, Secelia.
There are no people who call themselves Akaba or Akasugi.
It seems that the princes and nobles did not participate in this ceremony.
I haven't heard of anyone with the surname Thunder Bud, our advisor, someone from the Kyle Thunder Bud family.
In other words, it was the other relatively large families living in the Dawn Mountains who had come to give blessings to the new Elven King.
In addition to a few of us, there were many others who were also audience members of this ceremony.
The whole ceremony was over quickly, and it seemed that Mespier didn't want to waste any more time.
As if pre-rehearsed, everyone dispersed through the gates, and suddenly the whole hall was filled with only us and Mespier.
"Ellie, take Liu Xiao to the banquet hall first, Linda, remember your duty"
"And what about my medium?"
Ellie hasn't forgotten me.
"I have something to talk to him about"
Mespier's expression was serious, and Ellie, like a little sister, didn't dare to ask anything more.
The little guy took Liu Xiao's hand and went out of the hall with Liu Xiao and Linda.
A drum beat in my heart.
Although I want to keep in touch with Elle telepathically, I am afraid that it will not work in front of an elf like Mespier.
"Psychic Liu Xiaoqing"
"Hmm...... Yes"
I got down on one knee and tried to be as polite as I could.
"No, that's not what I meant"
Mespil motioned for me to stand up.
"In your human world, this kind of etiquette is probably not used very often, at least according to my understanding."
"Uh...... I watched more in the movie."
What am I talking nonsense, am I out of my mind......
"Hmph"
Mespier seemed amused by me, and he chuckled.
Then he stared directly into my eyes with a solemn gaze.
His two eyes emitted a pure white glow, and he looked very divine.
"The Elven King has the right to bestow a name"
I don't know why, he suddenly came to such a sentence.
I'm not surprised, though.
According to Linda's story, the elven king of the previous generation once stripped Linda's mother of the surname 'Akaba'.
Then giving a name should be a trivial matter.
"I want you to pass the elven trial"
"Trials?"
Mespier ignored my doubts and continued.
"So that I can give you a name that matches you"
"Huh?"
I was shocked, but more than that, excited.
In another world, get an elf name.
Something like that......
It dawned on me that I had never been so excited.
"A name is a symbol of status, a symbol of status and power, and sometimes power"
Mespier was still staring at me with his electric eyes, as if watching my reaction.
"So it's going to be very difficult to get a name."
In other words, the so-called trials are similar to those life-threatening things in the game and movies......
If I had to give it a go, I didn't think it was a big deal.
But now, I'm hesitant, and I don't know what to do.
Is it better to agree to this thing or to refuse?
If I agree, I can satisfy my adventure to the greatest extent**, but there will be a danger of involving Ellie and Liu Xiao.
Especially now, any negligence could expose Ellie's secret.
Now is probably not the best time.
It should be a better choice to keep a low profile and wait for the one-week stay period to pass, and then return to the human world and enjoy your old age in peace.
Gradually, the fear of things being revealed triumphed over curiosity and the desire to show off.
"Enough Liu Xiaoqing, I knew you were indecisive, but I didn't expect you to be so indecisive, which made me anxious to watch"
Mespier's seizures all at once.
His expression was filled with an anger I couldn't comprehend.
It's not the kind of anger that I see in school when students fight, because of resentment.
It's not the kind of anger that I saw when I was fighting with Wu Tai and Li Tangtang, because of my pride and self-confidence.
Mespier's anger, as if it came from something, had transcended what could be described by reason.
It seems to be a natural phenomenon that has arisen in nature under the impetus of the laws of the universe.
Yes, Ray.
Like thunder, it makes no sense, but it has supreme energy.
"I need to warn you that it's only a matter of time before Eleherana's secret is discovered by someone else."
"Huh!?"
I was so shocked that I just missed it!
What is Meispier talking about?
"You seem to already know, but I know before you"
Meispil's eyes wrinkled slightly.
"The matter between you and Elie Heranna"
Finished......
I felt like my skeleton was falling apart.
All the strength was out of my body.
Did Mespier already know that the soul link between me and his fiancée was equivalent to a marriage?
And, what does it mean to be earlier than I knew, say, when I came to the Dawn Mountains?
Could it be that in the beginning, when Ellie kissed me!?
Isn't it entirely possible if this elf is really a powerful guy who is proficient in all magic......
Could it be that Meispier has always known about this!?
"If you're scared of the heart of a little imp because of this, I'll burn you to ashes at once."
"Because that little imp doesn't deserve to be Eleherana, my sister"
Mespier's words instantly extinguished something in my heart.
No, it's not so much to be extinguished as to be ignited.
A fire burned my sanity to ashes.
His chest was filled with the burning sensation that was characteristic of Ellie's magic.
Ah, yes, it is.
When I encounter danger, I hate myself the most.
In order to overcome this self, in order to overcome this self, I have not been trying hard for so long.
Suddenly, it felt like Mespier's provocative attitude was familiar.
That's right, Wu Tai.
There is indeed a slight bit of similarity.
If it weren't for the fact that I had met Wang Yun, Wu Tai, and Li Tangtang before, such powerful characters.
I'm afraid that now I will really not be able to bear the pressure and be scared.
At the very least, you'll be too scared to think properly.
But now I'm different.
What I gained from those who were strong is helping me to rebuild my confidence.
And Ellie.
What I got from this little guy is making a certain kind of fundamental change in me.
Since the disaster is my fault.
Then take my share of responsibility like a man.
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do now?
Whether it's to be punished, to bear a crime, or to fight to the death.
"I see, the trial is right, just pass it"
After saying this, which seemed to be annoyed, I suddenly felt as if I felt more comfortable.
And...... It seems to be a little more transparent, a little clearer.
Isn't it a lot easier?
What used to be a clueless thing is now simpler.
As long as you do what Mespier says, it doesn't seem to evolve into the worst-case scenario.
So what's there to be afraid of?
Let me seize the opportunity.
