Chapter 36: Meeting the Elven Empress Again
readx;??? The news that Evian had brought back quickly confirmed Baroque's suspicions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thunder Eagle's eyes are incomparably sharp, and he is able to see rabbits on the ground at an altitude of thousands of meters. Evian flew a long way, and was on a battle line dozens of miles away, and finally made a discovery! He saw a group of mages in black robes busy on the battlefield, surrounded by defensive scouts and even papal warriors. Obviously, the magicians must have an ulterior conspiracy to hide from the dragons on the battlefield.
Baroque didn't know what the magic circles built by the magicians did, but there was no doubt that it was worth their sneaky busyness and the cost of a lot of precious crystals, magic cores, and aquamarine gold to lay out the magic arrays that were obviously one-time magic circles. There must have been a great conspiracy on the part of the Holy See commanders.
Baroque was in a good mood, and he felt like he would have something to talk about with the elves and dragons.
Since he wanted to see the Elven Empress, Baroque no longer hid his figure, and even took off the illusion mask on his face, revealing the face of an orc. Before approaching the Misty Forest, he was spotted by a roaming elven warrior.
Those agile and elegant elves surrounded the orc who suddenly appeared, and the curved bow of Manhyun was aimed at the Baroque's body, and the beautiful warriors were like a great enemy. It is clear that within the elves, women are inferior to men, and there are many more female warriors than men.
"Orc, why did you approach our Misty Forest and tell us your purpose?" exclaimed a female elven leader, her voice low and pleasant.
"Oh, don't be nervous, beautiful Miss Elf. I am here to visit your Highness the Empress Siloria, please pass it on on my behalf. ”
"Who are you? and want to see our noble majesty, leave our territory, and if you dare to take a step closer, our arrows will tell you the end. The female elf leader had a cold face and was very faceless.
Baroque was dumbfounded, and it was clear that the elves in front of him did not know his identity. Also...... The vast Misty Forest was the territory of a great human empire, and how could Baroque have seen him the last time he came?
"Then go and inform your Empress, that the orc Baroque from last time had come to visit her. ”
"Huh, you're an orc shaman baroque?" the female elf leader was a little surprised. The surrounding elf female warriors also stirred slightly, obviously. Although they had never seen Baroque, they always knew that Baroque had saved their empress from the erosion of darkness.
"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you beautiful young ladies. So...... Can you go and pass it on?" Baroque breathed a sigh of relief.
Still cautious, but the female leader was noticeably much better: "Baroque ...... Lord Shaman. Please wait a minute, we need to confirm. She quickly sent a soldier away.
After more than ten minutes, a male elf riding a black cheetah came from the misty forest, saw Baroque from a distance, and smiled: "Your Excellency Baroque Shaman." It's a pleasure to see you again. ”
"Yes, I am also honored, Your Excellency General Zexis, please accept my greetings. "This male elf is the elven general Zexis who came into contact with the Baroque in the first place.
Baroque saved the Elven Empress, and he naturally gained the friendship of the Elven Clan, and after confirming his identity, even the elves who were indifferent by nature welcomed him with a sincere smile.
"Lord Baroque, please come with me! I'm sorry that our Empress and Elders are receiving guests from the Dragons in the southern part of the forest, and she can't be the first to greet them. But we will receive you sincerely. You can also take a tour of the Misty Forest, which has many beautiful scenery to enjoy. Zexis led Baroque through the Tree of Life shield and into the Misty Forest.
The four Wolf brothers and Evian immediately couldn't wait to get out of Baroque, and one by one they scattered and jumped on top of the dense forest leaves, weaving and playing in the forest. The scent of the Misty Forest is a paradise for the animals, and they love it. Zexis didn't care either, after all, the Hebrewon wolf, the emperor of phantom beasts, used to have a very high status, and even could be on an equal footing with the elven queen. The elves who live in the Misty Forest clearly like them, and they rarely smile. Bring out a variety of tempting fruits and delicacies to treat the wolves.
After Baroque told them not to cause trouble, he went and followed Zexis to the royal court of the elves...... That is, the ancient tree of life rushed away.
Since the last time I came, the power of the Baroque had grown tremendously. His senses became more acute, and he instantly sensed the breath of the ancient tree of life. Greeting the ancient tree with kindness, Baroque's actions seemed to frighten the ancient tree of life. There was a fluctuation that was a little unexpected, and the surrounding trees suddenly made a rustling sound, and the leaves were colorful.
Zexis was unaware of the anomaly, and he was probably a talkative elf. Along the way, introduce the Baroque to what beautiful scenery is all around. Baroque coped with the attitude of the strange ancient tree of life, and did not know why.
Halfway through the journey, an elven elder suddenly stopped them. After the elven elder and Baroque greeted each other, he said apologetically: "Your Excellency Baroque Shaman, after hearing the news of your coming, we immediately informed Her Majesty the Empress. Her Majesty was glad that although she was in the southern part of the forest to receive the guests of the dragon clan, she also sent back a command that she wanted to meet with you, and sincerely invited you to visit the southern part of the forest. ”
The Ancient Tree of Life didn't want to see him―――――― Baroque immediately realized it. From the moment he greeted the Ancient Tree of Life with the touch of consciousness, he found that the Ancient Tree of Life had become very strange. It seems to be very afraid of him, and even with a hint of hostility. Zexis on the side was a little confused, and was stopped by the elven elder with his eyes.
Could it be that there was too much water from the last fountain of life, so that the ancient tree of life was afraid of being robbed again? Baroque couldn't figure it out, since the ancient tree didn't want to see him, then forget it. He didn't care about it either, and agreed to the Elven Elder's request.
The elven elder was visibly relieved, and immediately summoned a white tiger with snow-white fur from the depths of the forest to serve as a mount for Baroque. Baroque also summoned the Dawnstar of Don Wolf and them, and under the leadership of Zexis, rushed to the south of the Misty Forest.
The Misty Forest is extremely vast, no smaller than the territory of any great human empire. From the southeast to the southern coast of the Misty Forest, they walked for three days. In an elven fort built by a tree of life closest to the coast, Baroque meets Empress Siloria again.
Beautiful and elegant as always, Empress Siloria received Baroque with a reserved smile. It's just that Baroque noticed a slight abnormality in her eyes............ It's like, guarding against something.
A few days ago, the attitude of the ancient tree of life suddenly changed drastically, and so did the current empress, obviously they had communicated with each other, but Baroque did not harbor any malicious intentions, why did it make them feel uneasy?
I can't figure it out, but this kind of thing must be explained, and if it is not said, it will even affect his plans to prepare an alliance with the dragons and elves.
"Your Majesty, I take the liberty of asking you, is it my presence that makes you uncomfortable, or is it that my name is not among the friends of the elves. If I'm just persona non grata, then please tell me and I won't embarrass you. Baroque was not prepared to beat around the bush, he spoke directly about his doubts.
Even though elves are known for their sincerity and liings, Siloria is held back by Baroque's honesty. The smile on his face was slightly embarrassed: "Oh, Lord Baroque, you may be suspicious, you are the most honored guest of our elves, how can you not be welcome?"
"But I can feel your wariness of me, even the Ancient Tree of Life that I haven't seen............ I let out a kind breath to her, but I didn't get a response, can you explain it to me?" Baroque asked.
Siloria was visibly embarrassed, as if she was listening, Baroque knew that the Empress was communicating with the distant Ancient Tree of Life in her spiritual sea (the elves were also called the Crystal World) through the Tree of Life. Soon, the Empress seemed to have made a decision with the Ancient Tree of Life. She turned her head to look at Baroque, her beautiful eyes unblinking for a moment, and asked, "Your Excellency Baroque, my Mother Ancient Tree wants you to answer a question in the name of the totemic spirit of the beast race. Did you come to the Misty Forest with malice?"
"What do you mean? I don't understand. Baroque bewildered.
"Mother Ancient Tree has felt an aura in you that was once regarded as a nightmare by the elves, and the owner of that breath was once an orc. Have you inherited the power of that man, and you want to reach out to the tree of life again?"
Baroque was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized. He understood why the Ancient Tree of Life was so fearful. All the problems came from the black metal locket hidden in his arms, and the mysterious crystals sealed inside came from the ruins of King Maudun.
From the pale yellow scrolls found with the black metal box, Baroque also knows how powerful and ferocious the King of Maudun was. Back then, in order to build the super totem array in the gravel wasteland, King Maudun once launched a huge invasion of the elves. Although it was the last time that the Orcs invaded other races before they were defeated, the damage caused to the Elves was extremely serious. The orcs cut down a total of six Trees of Life, one of which had survived more than 10,000 years and was about to advance to the Ancient Tree of Life. With the huge trunk core of the six Trees of Life, King Maudun successfully constructed the [Great Star Totem Array].
Perhaps the memory of that year was so deep that the breath of King Maudun made the only life of the elven clan unforgettable, how could he not be afraid when he noticed it in Baroque at first glance? It is reasonable to even suspect that Baroque has evil intentions.
Baroque apparently had something else in mind............ After excavating the relics of King Maudun, without the suppression of the sealing circle, the aura of the black metal box could be easily detected by the Ancient Tree of Life. Then it is obvious that if you encounter someone from the Holy See, even if it is just a few rumored scouts, you may be exposed.
It seems that he can't stay outside any longer, and he must finish his work as soon as possible, rush back to the northern tundra, find a secret place, suppress the aura of the black metal box, and at the same time, crack the secret of the King of Maudun back then. (To be continued.) )(.)
