Chapter 276: 276, [World Tree Heart], Elf Princess’s Marriage Contract_1
At 10 a.m. sharp on July 14.
As Su Yu was still in the Mage Tower leveling up, he received a game notification:
“Ding! The main storyline – [Goldfinch Empire (71/100)] is about to begin. Please proceed to Princess Alyssa’s temporary residence in Orleans City. The coordinates are (5941, 2234). Countdown starts at 29:59.”
After getting the notification, Su Yu shut down his Mana Pool, stood up and told the little loli Kathy next to him: “Kathy, we’ll end things here for now. I need to go out for a bit.”
“Finally done, huh?” Kathy put down the materials in her hand and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yeah, it’s over.” Su Yu walked over and patted the little loli’s head affectionately: “Be good and stay at home, I’ll bring you some snacks when I get back.”
“Okay, my Lord,” Kathy replied sweetly.
When he arrived on the balcony of the third floor of the Mage Tower, Su Yu activated the [Ice Wings] skill attached to his shoulder pads. A set of ice-crystal formed wings that spanned 2.5 meters appeared on his back.
Controlling his wings, Su Yu flew towards Orleans City at high speeds.
The players in Aphi City only saw a figure quickly gliding across the sky, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
The speed of the [Ice Wings] was incredibly fast. It took only 5 minutes for Su Yu to fly above the city walls of Orleans City before the skill effect gradually faded.
Many people were present on the city walls. It felt like a crowded holiday at Badaling. Among them, a small part were NPCs, while most were players.
The Snow Leopard, standing atop of the city tower, noticed Su Yu’s arrival and waved at him from afar.
However, they were too distant for the Snow Leopard’s voice to carry, so he sent a private message to Su Yu: “You’re here! The battle will begin in half an hour.”
Su Yu replied: “I’m aware…By the way, have you noticed any ‘meteorites’ or ‘shooting stars’ recently?”
Snow Leopard: “Meteorites? Shooting stars? Are you talking about naturally formed ones or magic spell effects created by mages?”
Su Yu: “Of course, I meant the naturally formed ones…Nevermind, based on your response, it’s highly unlikely. I’ll go and complete my task now.”
Snow Leopard: “Uh, okay.”
After leaping off the city wall into the inner city, Su Yu deftly maneuvered his way through the spacious city roads on his mount, Dima.
However, he did not directly head to the Princess House, instead, he went to the [Elf Mansion] located on Green Shade Road.
At present, the regent Legolas had brought high-ranking members of his race to Orleans City and was residing in the mansion. Naturally, Su Yu had to visit him.
Dima trotted, bringing Su Yu to the Elf Mansion.
Just as he reached the mansion entrance, he heard the Elves familiar inverted sentences: “Human, leave here quickly, or we will shoot!”
A few elven archers aimed their arrows at Su Yu who was still on his horse.
Su Yu took a deep breath, preparing to take out the [Moon God Clan Badge] to show these elves.
But before he could act, an authoritative voice boomed from inside the mansion: “All of you stand down. This man is an honoured guest of our Elf Race!”
“Understood, Regent King.” Hearing the voice, the elven archers instantly lowered their bows.
At the same time, the tall, crown-clad Regent Elf King – Legolas walked out of the mansion.
“Nemesis, my dear friend, it’s been a while.” said Legolas as he walked over, embracing Su Yu in a friendly hug.
“I’m delighted to see you, Your Majesty the Regent.”
After the embrace, Su Yu said: “The reason I came to see you is about…”
“The [World Tree Heart], right?” interrupted Legolas.
“Indeed.”
“Alright then, come with me. The Heart is ready.”
Legolas led the way into the mansion, with Su Yu following closely.
The interior of the Elf Mansion was very much in the style of the Elf Race. Towering trees and treehouses were commonplace, while stone-built houses were scarce.
Walking into the Elf Mansion and being surrounded by countless trees evoked a sense of returning to nature in Su Yu.
In a treehouse located at the very back of the mansion, Legolas invited Su Yu to sit down before taking out a soccer ball-sized green crystal and placing it in front of him.
The crystal emitted a rich and invigorating life energy. Just the energy floating in the air gave Su Yu an extraordinary level of comfort.
“My dear Nemesis, this is a natural green crystal. Inside it lies the [World Tree Heart] you seek. When you want to use it, just break the crystal shell to retrieve the Heart.”
Reluctantly, Legolas pushed the green crystal towards Su Yu.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Su Yu picked up the green crystal and used the [Insight] spell to check the attributes of the crystal.
[World Tree Heart]
Wonder
Usage: 1. Use the massive natural energy within the Heart to change professions to special jobs such as [Eternal Druid], [World Chanter], [Contract Maker of Natural Heart], etc.
2. Craft magical items such as the [Heart of Life], [Endless Vine Ring], [Top-class Natural Blessing Potion], etc.
3. Absorb and refine the Heart in the Mana Pool, with a high chance of breaking through your own barriers and gaining some additional special abilities.
The category of the [World Tree Heart] is “Wonder”, which refers to the best, rarest, and most valuable magical materials in the game world.
If he were to bring the Heart out, even powerful beings like Xi Fan and the Star-forged Dragon King would be envious of it.
Satisfied, Su Yu put the [World Tree’s Heart] into his bag and chuckled: “Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Regent.”
“Don’t mention it, we have a mutually beneficial relationship.” The Regent King casually waved his hand as though not heartbroken, adding:
“With the potion formula you provided, the ‘Plant Transformation Disease’ in our Elf Kingdom has been effectively controlled. Even those elves who have just turned into plants have shown significant improvements after taking the potion.”
At this point, Legolas stood up, bowed solemnly to Su Yu: “On behalf of the entire Elf Kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude, my dear friend Nemesis!”
“There’s no need to be so formal, Your Majesty the Regent.” Su Yu quickly stood up to support him: “As you have just said, our relationship is based on mutual benefits.”
“But I still have to express my gratitude, it’s obligatory.”
Saying that, it seemed like Legolas suddenly remembered something.
His eyes lit up and promptly said: “My dear Nemesis, I have a request but I don’t know if you’d be willing to agree.”
“What is it?”
“Well…” Legolas slowly paced around the treehouse as he explained: “My daughter, Emily, is 142 years old this year. In another two years, when she reaches 144, she will come of age. Emily is beautiful, intelligent, kind, and she admires you a lot.”
“Would you be willing to marry Emily and become her husband?”
Su Yu:
