Chapter 135. Queen Versus Queen

The Court of the Holy Tree was directly facing the back door of the Queen's chamber, and it was shrouded in a faint golden mist.

The place was strange. The distance between the two doors was only about ten meters, but with every step they took toward the Court of the Holy Tree, the night sky above them brightened a little. When they arrived in front of the mottled fence wrapped in vines, the starry sky had been replaced, and the surroundings were bright. Char was immersed in mist.

However, if they were to retreat, the sky would become darker with every step they took.

It was as if this place was a land of eternal day.

"Are you sure you want to go in?"

Esylian asked.

The Queen personally sent the two of them here, but her eyes were always on Evelyn.

However, the question was directed at Char.

Her intention to retain him was obvious.

"Now that things have come to this, would I still back down?" Char shrugged and smiled.

Esylian saw his firm attitude and didn't say anything more.

She suddenly stepped forward and handed Char something.

It was a ring removed from her left pinkie.

-

[Wish (ring)]

*Divine artifact (1/4)

The wearer must be a pure-blooded elf.

Increases the wearer's reputation in the Court of the Holy Tree to neutral.

Creates a 2.5-meter radius barrier around the wearer to prevent the invasion of the long mist.

[Wish: Reduce the damage taken by the wearer by 45%. The accumulated damage reduction will be ineffective when it is five times the maximum health points. The accumulated damage can be calculated once every natural day.]

[Rental status: Equipment requirement ignored. Effects reduced by 50%.]

[Rental time: 9 days 23:59:59]

"If you can come back alive, I hope you can become my governor," She said.

Char could not help but raise his eyebrows.

It was a huge gift.

The Queen had four rings, and [Wish] was one of them. It was known for its excellent damage reduction ability.

However, this was a favor, and whether he should accept it or not was a problem.

He didn't account for this in his plan.

Seeing Char's hesitation, Esylian seemed to have misunderstood him. She snorted and looked up at Evelyn.

"Fallen comrade, don't you even give this little freedom to your own death warrior?"

Eh?

No...

This wasn't the case!

Char was just about to explain when the Dark Elf suddenly stepped forward to take the ring and put it on Char's finger.

"My noble comrade, is this enough?"

She raised her head, and her proud eyes shot out from under the hood, not backing down.

Esylian snorted in disdain and turned to leave.

"I'll be waiting for you here in ten days."

She only meant Char.

Naturally, Evelyn understood who she was flirting with.

Hmph.

After the Queen left, Char quickly took off the ring and put it on Evelyn.

The Dark Elf was resistant, but she could no longer win against Char. She could only ask coldly, "What do you mean? What are you trying to do?"

From the moment they arrived to meeting with Esylian and being brought to the Court of the Holy Tree, Char had not explained the purpose and meaning of this trip.

However, she could sense strong hostility from the Queen, which was undoubtedly related to Char.

She could tell that Esylian was unhappy with her close relationship with Char.

"Back then, you said that 'one Queen is enough.' Did you mean her?"

"Stop causing trouble. The answer is right in front of you. Why do you need me to reveal it in advance?" Char laughed, grabbed her hand, and squeezed it lightly.

"Let's go. We're going home."

...

To an extent, the Court of the Holy Tree was really Evelyn's home.

The candidate for the Queen of Andahaim was also a candidate in Elfheim because of her pure blood and impeccable charm.

Therefore, among the Kings and Queens in the Court of the Holy Tree, there was no lack of Evelyn's direct family members.

The royal families from before the exile had all slept peacefully here.

The tradition of the elves was not to open up graves. In fact, this was to prevent the change of dynasties from being accompanied by the opening of graves. After all, one would always be more ruthless when dealing with one's own.

The two passed through the bright mist as if they had been covered by a layer of water from head to toe. When they looked again, they were in a brand new world.

The sky was high, and the clouds were deep. The blue sky was clear. There were light golden plains around him, and all kinds of elemental spirits were flying in the air. It was a phenomenon that would only occur when the concentration of elements reached an exaggerated index. Even magic power was alive.

A buff appeared in Char's status bar.

[Element Activation]: Casting speed of elemental spells increased by 50%; power increased by 200%; consumption reduced by 50%.

Looking at this almost heaven-defying buff, Char could not laugh.

The system of [Fantasy World] had always been stingy. It could let him fight a chicken with his bare hands or give him a wooden sword to stab a bull to death.

Now that he's been given a sharp steel blade, the enemy will probably be more difficult to deal with than a dragon.

The enemy had not appeared yet, but the endless [Primordial Mist] in the air had come over, desperately squeezing towards the two new lives.

There was no change between day and night in the Court of the Holy Tree. It was an eternal day, and time seemed to have stopped.

This seemingly eternal world was a prison.

All living things here, be they heroic spirits or plants, would be soaked and assimilated by the [Primordial Mist], possessing the same "eternal" attribute, and finally become a part of this place, unable to leave.

The [Wish] ring was on Evelyn's finger. The light golden mist visible to the naked eye stopped when it was five meters away from her as if blocked by a transparent cover.

Seeing this, Char was relieved.

Although the ring was not part of his plan, he could save a lot of trouble with it.

"Evie, close your eyes. You should be able to feel a kind of summoning, right?"

The Dark Elf did as he said and closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she pointed in a direction.

"It seems like someone is calling me in a low voice. The voice is kind and gentle."

"Then there's no problem."

Char placed his hands on her shoulders, his tone unprecedentedly serious.

"Listen. You'll have to keep walking in that direction. Remember, no matter what happens, what you hear, what you see, do not stop. In the end, you'll meet the person who called out to you and wait for me there."

"What are you doing?" Evelyn grabbed him and asked. "Are you leaving?"

"Don't worry. I also have a way to deal with the [Primodial Mist]."

Char smiled and took out the gemstone fireworks.

The sword was dark red, but it suddenly lit up and burst into flames like a torch.

Moreover, when it appeared, the Primordial Mist outside the boundary became restless, desperately trying to leave.

"Look, I'm safe too. Remember, no matter what you see, don't mind it. Those are merely illusions that disturb the mind."

Only then did Evelyn nod in agreement. She bit her lips but didn't say anything.

"Take care."

As she left with the barrier, the Primordial Mist suddenly rushed over.

Char raised his demonic sword and waved it as if holding a huge torch to drive away mosquitoes. The mist immediately shrank back in fear, and some did not manage to escape in time and were swallowed by the flames. The air seemed to be filled with a faint wail.

Then, a strong gust of wind blew from afar!

"Who is here?"
