Chapter 12

When Life Magic and Water Magic were combined, the explosive power would definitely be even more astonishing.

Chris was excited and could not wait to try it out.

At this moment, the female elf who had gone to inform the Queen was already walking towards him rapidly.

“Go in, the Queen is waiting for you inside!” This time, the female elf didn’t go with him.

On the way to the Spring of Life, the Life Element here was more active. Clouds covered the surroundings of the forest.

In front of him, there was a wooden palace suspended above the Spring of Life. There were murals exclusive to the elves carved on it.

The door of the palace was open. From afar, Chris could see a seductive figure sitting on a futon.

This was his aunt whom he had never seen before, the queen of the elves.

At this moment, for some reason, Chris was a little nervous. His figure stopped in front of the palace.

From this angle, he could see that she was wearing casual clothes and sitting lazily with her eyes slightly closed. Compared to Alice, her appearance was more mature and dignified.

“Come in. Why are you standing outside?”Just as Chris was hesitating, an ethereal voice came from inside.

Chris stopped hesitating and entered the palace. The Elf Queen looked at him.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“There’s no one else here, you don’t have to be so restrained.” The Elf Queen looked at Chris, who had his head lowered, and patted the futon beside her. “Come on, come over here, let me take a good look at you.”

Seeing the Elf Queen’s caring gaze, the nervousness in Chris’ heart disappeared without a trace.

Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the Elf Queen grunt.

Then, a wave of pain suddenly appeared on her sacred face. Flashes of green swirled on her face.

Chris frowned. To think that the Elf Queen had been poisoned.

While the green gases swirled around her, the Elf Queen used her magic cultivation to resist the effects of the green gas.

However, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary poison. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the green gas.

“What kind of poison is this? It’s so overbearing that even a Saint-level powerhouse can’t get rid of it. Instead, she’s only suppressing it.”

Chris thought to himself with a worried expression on his face.

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine after a short rest,” the Elf Queen said with a smile as she looked at Chris’ worried expression.

Ever since she fought with the mysterious intruder half a year ago, the Elf Queen had been poisoned. The secret medicine that the intruder had refined seemed to be specially used to deal with Saint-level powerhouses.

Even though the Elf Queen had the strength of a Saint-level fighter, she was unable to completely expel the poison from her body.

Thus, she used the Spring of Life to temporarily suppress the poison.

In order to prevent unrest among the other elves, only the Elf Queen and the few elders knew about this.

In recent days, however, the green gas had been erupting more and more frequently. They were beginning to realize that it could not be suppressed for long.

The Elf Queen had tried countless methods, but none of them were able to expel the green gas. She felt that her time was coming, and the poison would fully erupt in half a year at the earliest.

Therefore, she wanted to see Chris before the green gas erupted so she could arrange his affairs properly.

Even if she really returned to the embrace of the Nature God in the future, she could still meet her sister knowing that she had done her best.

“You’re going to be 15 years old soon, right?” The Elf Queen looked at Chris, who was sitting next to her, with a gentleness that had never been seen before in her eyes.

She looked like a mother beholding her own child.

“Yes, we’ll be fifteen this month,” Chris said.

The Elf Queen nodded. “I heard that you like reading. You often go to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.”

Chris did not hide anything from her. He read books to improve his horizons and inner cultivation.

“Very good. Robert from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge is a learned and wise sage. I want him to take you as his disciple. What do you think?”

Originally, the Elf Queen had planned to wait a few years before telling Chris about this decision.

However, due to the frequent outbreaks of the poison, she did not have much time left.

Therefore, she had to make a decision in advance.

The Elf Queen knew that she was the only elf this child could rely on.

Before her sister had passed away, she had personally left Chris in her hands.

“I know that this decision is a little rushed for you. But if you can become a sage, you will still earn the respect of the tribe even if you are unable to cultivate your magic.”

Chris could clearly feel the eagerness and anticipation in the Elf Queen’s eyes when she said this.

“But I heard that Robert doesn’t like strangers.”

When he went to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge to browse through books, he had seen the elf Robert that the Elf Queen had mentioned. He was a very strange person.

He did not dress up and had a strange personality. He was an old elf who was older than Wharton, and it was difficult to get along with him.

The Elf Queen could hear the concern in his voice. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already asked for Robert’s opinion, and he has already agreed. What I’m asking for now is your opinion.”

She stared fixedly into Chris’ eyes. Although she was helping Chris pave the way forward, he had to agree to it first.

Of course, the reason why the Elf Queen was so persistent was that if Chris went to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, becoming a sage would only be the worst-case scenario.

Aside from being a sage, Robert was also a powerful druid warrior. If Chris could obtain Robert’s approval and sign an ancient contract with him, even if this child could not cultivate in the future, he could still become a powerful warrior.

“A druid warrior?” Chris’ gaze paused as he recalled the records he had seen in the ancient scrolls.

The elves, together with the orcs and the humas, were known as the three great races of the Sacred Continent. That meant their heritage was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Apart from their natural talent in magic, druid warriors were also a powerful force in the hands of the elves.

It was a special training method that was completely separate from magic and combat aura. By signing a contract with a soul beast, one could obtain incredible strength.

The stronger your soul beast, the stronger you would be.

However, every elf could only sign a contract with a single soul beast in their lifetime. From the moment they signed the contract, they were your partner and your family.

Until the moment they died, they would never leave the owner of the contract.

“Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, the Lich King caused a riot. More than half of the elves’ druid warriors were killed or injured. Now, only Robert is left.”

The Elf Queen’s tone was somewhat desolate.

After all, that was also the battle in which the elves, as the strongest force, had fought bravely against the Lich King’s army. Most of their elites had suffered heavy casualties back then.

From then on, they had been unable to recover, gradually walking towards ruination. They were gradually surpassed by the humans and beasts.

Now, the Elf Queen was the only Saint-level powerhouse left, and even she had not recovered her strength to this day.

Although the elves were still ranked among the three great races, their status only remained in name. In addition, she had been poisoned and was in a difficult situation.

“I’ll go with whatever you say, my queen.”

Chris wanted to refuse at first, but when he saw the Elf Queen’s expectant gaze, he subconsciously agreed.
