Chapter 554: New Target
Baking, coming out of the flames, Ellie's feet melted the solid floor soft as soon as she landed on the white granite.
It sinks in a little as if it were on a fluffy mattress, and a large area around it turns bright pink in the heat.
That's why little ones don't like to wear boots - while Elle's clothes won't be burned under the protection of the Fire Control Charm, the lava stains her sturdy fur and pretty satin.
If she was barefoot, she wouldn't have this problem at all, as the scorched earth elves' magic created a dense protective layer that kept lava and ash out, and even the dust in the air wouldn't get on Ellie.
So the little one's long blue hair looked shiny at all times, like a jewel without any stains at all.
"Yo Ho Ho"
The giant named Gizel took a few steps back, seemingly unable to stand the heat emanating from Ellie's body.
The humanoid creature looked like a humanoid statue made of piles of rocks stretched out its hand, as if trying to cover its eyes, but it didn't have a head.
"Sister, are you two going too far?"
Linda said, gesturing to the sea in the distance.
Standing on the cliff of Baishu, you can see it from afar.
You can see the very, very distant sea, where there are still reddish clouds and lightning released when the swirls formed by the high temperature collide with each other.
"Oh~~~ It's finally refreshing~"
"Poof, Linda, didn't you see, those little bugs scattered and fled for their lives after seeing my magic, it's really funny, hee-hee-ha~"
Elle was only interested in showing off her magic to Linda, and she didn't feel the slightest sense of responsibility or worry in her heart.
Because of the image of the soul link, my mind is also in a state of excitement right now, and if I were in a normal time, I would definitely reprimand Elle for how she could unleash scorched earth magic so close to the shoreline.
But now, I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all.
"Scared! Ellie!"
"Didn't we just cast a terrible spell?"
Thinking of this, my thoughts became a little clearer, and as the encirclement of the scorched earth elves gradually faded, my head gradually cooled down and regained its calm.
Boom, boom.
The King of Giants, 'Brixington', took two steps in our direction, but apparently kept a safe distance from Ellie.
"As your father said, a daredevil" in the middle of the word"
Subtly, this huge mountain rock didn't even blame Ellie, is this the demeanor of a king?
"But it's true that you drove away the sea monster, and I should thank you for that alone."
The giant straightened up slightly, making himself look even taller, I don't know what kind of body language it was, it was very different from humans and elves anyway.
"Speaking of which, His Majesty Mespil really has something to ask for"
Linda felt Ellie's temperature drop a bit, and dared to move a little in the direction of the two of us.
But this kind of use of Elle's credit to make a claim really makes me unhappy, and then this is also influenced by Mespil?
Hmph, that stinky fart elf king, I'm going to make things difficult for him when I go back......
Hey?
It is natural to think about how to play pranks and find faults, is this Ellie's nature?
'Go, the brook birds should stay in the woods, don't run around'
Ah, again, Elle heard me speak ill of her from the soul link, and fought back at me with this mocking critter.
"The Elven King understands the mission and contribution of the giants in the White Cliffs, so he has respect for what you have been doing."
Standard diplomatic rhetoric, but this obvious flattery is meant to show his friendliness, which must be another little trick of Mespier.
I'm really not good at diplomacy.
"But now that the sea monster has been temporarily expelled, the Elven King hopes that the giants of the White Sea Cliffs will turn their eyes to the interior of the Dawn Mountains."
"We giants never intervene in the strife between you"
Brixington waved his hand slowly, wanting to interrupt Linda before she could continue.
"If it's just a mundane matter between the six clans, the Elf King will definitely not bother the giants of the Baishu Sea Cliff for this."
"But this time it's different"
Oh, listening to Linda's words, it seems that she has already figured out how to convince the giant.
"Sruka has begun to reveal his whereabouts in public, whatever he is up to, after all these years, those nefarious plans should be in their final stages"
"Goo-quack-clack-"
The giant's whole body made unpleasant sounds, as if the stones were rubbing against each other, which showed his anxiety.
"In ...... All the Six Kings Inside"
Brixington's voice slowed a little.
"Exclude of course the extinct Treants, may their souls be at peace"
It sounds as if the giants once had a good relationship with the Treants, so much so that Brixington went out of his way to lament their extinction.
"There are only two people who know the past well, and the death match between them and Sluka ......"
"One is Gloria, the King of Witches"
"The other one is me"
The giant paused at this point, as if his long, endless memories had come back to his mind once again.
"If there is an opponent in this world that can be called a mortal enemy, then Sluka can be counted as one"
The giant held the ground with his hands, and the huge white sea cliffs began to shake violently.
The cliff stood upright, and the large and small stones glued together to form a huge human form, as if a mountain had fallen from the ground, but none of the stones on the giant king had slipped from him.
"It's time to see what that dragon with its fangs is up to."
The giant seemed to have made up his mind.
But it probably didn't have much to do with our visit.
"But I want to make it clear that whoever falls out of the Baishu Sea Cliff will eventually return to the Baishu Sea Cliff."
The King of Giants made his attitude vague.
Does this probably mean that after this is over, Mespil's favor for returning the Earth Spirit Sword will be returned, or will the stolen feather have to be recovered?
I don't know, the giant's words are a little vague, and the translation spell can't give an accurate translation.
But Linda seemed to be quite happy, and that smile was not an expression that Mespier could make.
"That's right, sister"
Linda quickly turned her head to stare at Ellie, for fear that the little guy would run out and disappear while she was excited.
'Did I provoke you?'
'I feel itching in my heart, you still want to deny it?, just find a direction to fly out, and when you see the enemy, you will scorch the earth, you just thought so, right?'
The little guy was sweating all over his face at what I said.
'Nonsense, I'm not sweating, I'm hot'
"Mespier has one more thing to ask you two for"
Linda: When did you become the mouthpiece of Meispil?
"What are you looking for us again?
Elle desperately refused, the little guy didn't want to get into trouble anymore, and now the most important thing this hot elf wanted to figure out was how to control the power of the scorched earth elf at will.
"But this time, the destination is Bladetooth City?"
Linda said with a smile that had already taken control of Ellie, as if she already knew how to tease the little guy's nerves.
"Hmm, Ellie, were you intrigued?"
"Waste, waste, nonsense, if the heart does not move, it will die"
Well, in another sense, if Ellie still doesn't feel moved when she hears about Bladetooth City, she will really die.
The source of all elven bloodlines, the oldest elven city-state.
Hidden deep in the boreal forests, he has unparalleled magical knowledge and strength, but he has never interacted with other city-states.
Elle wanted to go, but was never able to do so due to diplomatic reasons.
Now you want to visit the city with the support of Mespil?
You've just seen the White Sea Cliffs and the King of Giants, and you're going to a long-coveted ancient city?
There is no such good thing in the world.
"Hmph, since Mespier begged me, then I can only agree, but he owes me a big - a big favor for this matter~"
When did the single-celled princess have such a mind?
Ellie turned her head and glared at me, but even my complaint didn't hurt the princess's good mood, and the little guy curled the corners of his mouth and stuck out his tongue at me, with a happy face.
Poof, this guy, is it because of my influence, that's why you took the opportunity to make things difficult for Mespil?
"Okay, but then I won't accompany the two of you, after all, your magic has been restored, and I can't be a guard anymore, and if I follow you, I will become a stumbling block."
Linda shyly squeezed her hand and quietly glanced at Ellie, as if she was envious of her sister's might.
"I'll go with Lord Brixington to investigate the Diamond Enchantment, and I'll leave it to you over there in Bladefang."
"Wait for Linda!"
The eldest girl looked like she was about to leave, and I quickly stopped her.
"You haven't told me what I'm going to do with Ellie!"
"Ahh
With a look of surprise on her face, she covered her mouth with two hands, this girl with long silver-white hair was really reckless in these aspects.
"Hey, hey, hey"
Linda smiled shyly, and seemed to have gotten rid of the influence of Mespil again, and returned to her original somewhat natural big sister.
"The Elven King only wants to ask you for one thing"
"If the goal is achieved"
"It will be of great benefit to the situation in the north"
Well?
What is Meispier calculating, and what is he expecting in such a closed city?
