Chapter 687: Elf Queen Laphia

Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Elin watched the carriage as it moved toward the palace, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Although most of the runes inscribed on the carriage were hidden from view, she could sense an aura of malevolence emanating from it, even more sinister than that of the undead. The fact that a carriage that looked like it had a demon lord hidden inside belonged to the royal elves raised questions.

Could it be that the elven royalty had forged an alliance with the likes of the undead?

Playing such a dangerous game?

Elin blinked and found herself curious about this turn of events.

After all, she was on her way to meet the current Elf Queen, so she might as well see what was going on.

Just as Elin was contemplating this, her body suddenly froze, and she looked back in astonishment at the slowly departing carriage.

Wait a moment, how did she sense a familiar presence??

Meanwhile, inside the carriage.

“Lord Ji Chen, the Silvermoon Holy City is quite prosperous, isn’t it?” Miligas smiled and remarked.

Ji Chen nodded. The specially crafted glass on the sides of the carriage prevented outsiders from seeing inside but allowed those inside to see the bustling streets outside.

Looking from the inside out, the carriage traveled on incredibly wide streets, flanked by prosperous shops. The foot traffic was immense, with most of the inhabitants being local elves, along with a few members of other races.

In terms of prosperity, it far surpassed Maple Harbor and Maple City, akin to the difference between a second-tier city and a metropolis on Earth.

Notably, the demeanor of the elves living in Silvermoon Holy City was entirely different from what Ji Chen had seen in the Maple Principality. It was a powerful self-confidence and a sense of superiority, similar to a mighty empire.

Seeing Ji Chen’s agreement, Miligas’s face displayed pride and joy, as if he himself were being praised.

“The Silvermoon Holy City was settled by elven ancestors ten thousand years ago. After continuous development and expansion through dozens of generations of elves, its area is equivalent to ten times that of Maple City. There are as many as tens of millions of elven ethnic groups residing here.

Just the elite elven army stationed here numbers as many as three hundred thousand. Here, you are absolutely safe.

As long as you honestly tell Her Majesty about everything you and Sir Lainekel know regarding the demon invasion and persuade her, a million elven troops will undoubtedly respond to the call and drive those foolish demons back to where they belong.”

Miligas spoke with confidence, showing no signs of worry.

Ji Chen remained silent. From what he had seen of the methods of the Dreadlord Balzarna, demons were not easy adversaries. In such a harsh environment as the Chaotic Abyss, one would either completely succumb or go completely insane.

And the demons, it seemed, were the latter.

For this day’s invasion, they had been plotting for ten thousand years, and even Lainekel didn’t fully understand how much power they possessed.

Tens of thousands of years had eroded the memories and vigilance of many races, including the elves, such a large and powerful race, against the formidable enemy that had nearly destroyed the world in the past.

Now it appeared that even elves of the ambassadorial level, like Miligas, had this blindly optimistic demeanor. It was likely that other nobles, soldiers, and commoners were not much different.

This made Ji Chen’s heart sink a bit.

Noticing the slight change in his expression, Miligas asked with concern, “Your Excellency, is there a problem?”

Ji Chen shook his head, “No, let’s proceed to meet Her Majesty as soon as possible.”

Miligas nodded, “The palace is just ahead.”

The palace where the Elf Queen resided was situated around the massive ancient tree. White structures encircled the tree roots and trunk in layers, resembling magnificent floating palaces in the sky. Every part of the city had a view of the palace, built high on the tree trunk, and the queen received the purest admiration and faith from her subjects.

The carriage continued along the main road, and as they progressed, elves became scarcer, and checkpoints became more frequent. However, even with the royal carriage and the presence of twenty royal elven knights, the journey was not entirely smooth.

It took at least two hours from entering the city gates to arriving near the roots of the ancient tree, showcasing the vastness of the elven capital.

The carriage came to a stop at an archway near the base of the ancient tree, where a group of veiled elven maids awaited. Ji Chen and his companions disembarked from the carriage, and a gentle-looking head maid stepped forward with elegant steps.

“Lord Ji Chen, Her Majesty has instructed us to welcome you here. Please follow us.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly and, with Patheia and Lainekel, followed behind. It seemed that the queen’s residence was elevated, so the head maid led them up a staircase that circled around the ancient tree.

The elven head maid led the way, her graceful curves accentuating her attractiveness as she walked. Observing this scene brought a sense of pleasure.

Miligas and Lainekel were no exception. Their gazes subtly swept over this beautiful sight, and they exchanged a knowing smile.

Seeing their reactions, Ji Chen shook his head with no small degree of exasperation. However, the elven head maid suddenly stopped, causing Ji Chen to nearly collide with her.

“Lord Ji Chen, please join us in taking the Alchemy Ascension Lift to the reception hall.”

She turned her body around and gestured toward a device on the side.

Ji Chen glanced at it; it resembled an elevator from Earth. A metal rope of an unknown material connected to a cage-like platform inscribed with runic symbols, with the other end disappearing into a high point..
