Chapter 265: 265, Arriving at Elf Kingdom_1

Eventually, a friendly negotiation led to the distribution of quotas among three major guilds: [Relevant Department], [Emperor Blood Slayer Sky], and [Mu Yun]. They each received a slot, and the remaining two slots were randomly drawn among other guilds in need, with [Galaxy Federation] and [Meteor Butterfly] emerging as the ultimate winners.

With the players nominated by the five guilds in tow, Su Yu embarked on his journey to the Elven Kingdom.

Nothing noteworthy happened on the trip to the Elven Kingdom.

Due to geographical factors, going to the Elven Kingdom required passing through the Lai Yin Empire. The most challenging part of the five-in-one task was evading the numerous checks by the Lai Yin Empire to successfully arrive at the destination.

This task was difficult for other players. They had to disguise themselves as ordinary people and slowly assimilate, and if they were discovered by a powerful person in the Lai Yin Empire, all their effort would be wasted.

However, for Su Yu, it was easy.

He contacted Anduin Wrynn, the Chairman of the Lai Yin Empire Council, through Snow Fall again.

Anduin was very grateful for the soul fragment of Xi Fan provided by Su Yu. He personally escorted him across the entire Lai Yin Empire and left him at the border of elves and humans.

The Elf Race lived in an endless primeval forest.

Upon reaching the edge of the forest, a few elves riding Moonblade Panthers emerged warily from the forest, each holding a bow and arrow.

Anduin ignored these elves and smiled at Su Yu, “Your Excellency Nemesis, I’ll leave you here. You’ll have to travel the rest of the way on your own.”

“Very well, thank you Your Excellency Anduin!” Su Yu saluted Anduin with a mage gesture, “But there’s one thing I don’t understand, I wonder if you could clarify?”

“What is it?”

“Aren’t our two countries currently enemies? Lord [Tula Yang] is camping with the rebels of Kalet, and your navy is confronting our Goldfinch’s Royal Navy. Is it appropriate for you to escort us here in person?”

Su Yu had merely hoped to have Anduin help a bit behind the scenes when he contacted him, but he hadn’t expected him to personally appear and escort him all the way here. The scale of this was somewhat formal.

Anduin chuckled, his eyes and body enveloped in a black mist, “Your Excellency Nemesis, none of the nations are unanimously united. Everyone has their different interest groups and their own claims.”

“On the issues concerning your country, Tula Yang has his own ideas, and the emperor has his considerations. As for me, I have my own stance. It can’t be generalized. Personally, I support Princess Alyssa in restoring Goldfinch’s splendor.”

Su Yu nodded, “I understand.”

“Then I should get going, and we can get in touch if anything comes up.” Anduin cast Su Yu a deep look and turned into a mist, headed in the direction of the Lai Yin Royal Capital.

Watching Anduin’s retreating figure, Su Yu oddly felt as if he were similar to Xi Fan. He wasn’t sure if Anduin had been influenced by Xi Fan’s soul fragment.

[The Range is the Truth], or Mr. Li, was chosen by the “Relevant Department” to journey to the Elven Kingdom.

Seeing Anduin fly away at this point, he sent a private message to Su Yu, “Boss Ke, is the situation within the Lai Yin Empire as fragmented as Anduin said?”

Su Yu replied, “Did you really fall for it? [Sweating soybean expression] This is merely Anduin’s rhetoric. The reality is that the Lai Yin Empire must have noticed that Kalet’s chances of victory are falling, and they want to put their eggs into different baskets, aiming to spread the investment and draw maximum benefit.”

Mr. Li: “Oh, I see.”

Meanwhile, the elf huntresses in the distance grew impatient. The leading female hunter spoke in broken human language, “Humans! Get off our land, or we’ll shoot!”

Upon hearing the accent of the female hunter, Mr. Li and the others were about to burst out laughing.

However, they knew it was a serious situation and not a laughing matter. They turned their heads away, their faces red from suppressing their laughter.

Having been to the Elven Kingdom in his previous life, Su Yu was used to the elves’ peculiar accents.

Unmoved, he showed the badge given to him by the princess and spoke in Elvish, “We are envoys from the greatest human empire, the Goldfinch Empire. I am here to see His Majesty, the Regent King, on behalf of Princess Alyssa on urgent matters.”

The history setting of “Evolution” was that the Elf Race created magic, and many high-level spells were written in advanced Elvish. Hence, Su Yu was able to speak a few sentences in Elvish, and everyday conversation was not a problem at all.

Upon hearing Su Yu’s Elvish and seeing his badge which looked genuine, the elves appeared somewhat relieved.

After they whispered briefly, one of the elves said to Su Yu, “In that case, you follow us.”

Although this elf didn’t have a strong accent, for some reason, her sentence structure was a bit disordered.

After speaking, the elves rode their Moonblade Panthers deep into the forest.

Su Yu also summoned his mount and, joined by the flushed-faced Mr. Li and his companions, followed suit.

The group arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the Elven Kingdom.

After many layers of reporting, Su Yu eventually met the Regent King, [Legolas Green leaf], atop a giant World Tree in the Elven Royal Capital.

Upon meeting Su Yu and reading Princess Alyssa’s letter, Legolas smiled happily,

“The [Eternal Crown] is our clan’s treasure, gifted to Sage Kevin by the first Elven King 700 years ago… Adventurer, return to Princess Alisha and tell her that I am more than willing to come to your empire with my men.”

Su Yu replied, “Very well, Your Majesty.”

The Regent King nodded, took out paper and pen from his space ring, and quickly wrote a letter. After instructing a servant to seal it, he handed it to Su Yu.

Su Yu solemnly accepted the letter.

Usually, having completed the task up to this point, Su Yu should’ve taken the return letter and left.

However, instead of leaving immediately, he looked at the Regent King in front of him with a smile and said, “Your Majesty, if I’m not mistaken, you’re planning on using the power of the [Eternal Crown] to suppress the spread of the ‘Plant Transformation Disease’, right?”

If Su Yu’s memory was correct, before the release of the first expansion pack, the “Plant Transformation Disease” had begun to spread throughout the Elven Kingdom. Elves afflicted with it would transform into plants within a short year, losing all signs of being an animal.

According to records, the “Plant Transformation Disease” had claimed nearly a hundred thousand elven lives in a few decades, which dealt a heavy blow to the Elven race, whose reproduction was fairly problematic to begin with.

The Regent King had attempted countless methods to cure the “Plant Transformation Disease”, but to little effect. He could only helplessly watch as the disease threatened his entire race.

Upon hearing Su Yu mention this name, the Regent King’s face instantly changed, “How do you know about the ‘Plant Transformation Disease’?”

How could a human from a far-off nation possibly know about such a unique affliction?

Su Yu pointed to the [Senior Scholar Badge] on his chest and adopted a profound expression:

“I am the top-ranked Prophecy Scholar from the Goldfinch Empire. Not only do I know of this disease, but I also know how to cure it. So, would you like to try my method?”
