Chapter 61 Is This an Elf?

There is such an ancient tree on the Starry Sky Continent, which runs through the peak. It stands proudly in the depths of the southern forest, and its strong and thick vines are as huge as mountain peaks.

At the same time, the green leaves on the branches are like spring water, and under the sunlight, they shine with a holy color, full of a sense of clarity.

It is the tree of life... a giant tree guarded by the elves for generations!
"Is this the tree of life? It's really spectacular..."

Looking at the branches and leaves covering the sky above his head, a soldier murmured in disbelief.

"There is a legend that the tree of life is the gate to the God Realm, and now it seems that it is not groundless..."

Another soldier couldn't help but nodded.

"Speaking of which, do you think the general can succeed?"

The soldier who was still admiring before suddenly changed the subject, and curiously said to several colleagues around him.

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the frontmost palace covered by the sea of ​​clouds.

"I don't know, but I hope the general can succeed. In this way, our chances of winning will definitely increase greatly."

Everyone at the scene slowly fell silent. Seeing the drifting clouds around the palace, their thoughts also drifted along.

……

"General Lei Te, please go back and tell God of War that our elves have loved peace for generations, and we have no intention of interfering in the war between the two empires. I am really sorry..."

A gentle and magnetic voice rippling gently in the surrounding halls, instantly made the general named Lei Te frowned.

Quietly looking at the handsome man in front of him with a smile on his face from beginning to end, he spoke in a low voice.

"Elf King, please don't hurry to refuse, you must know that for this alliance, our Majesty has paid a lot of money..."

Seeing that the other party still hadn't given up on his plan, the Elf King shook his head helplessly. If it was someone else, he would have driven him away long ago, but unfortunately the other party came with the intention of that God of War, so he had no choice but to continue listening. go down.

After all, he is also unwilling to offend the God of War of the Hill Empire.

Leiter exhaled heavily, his face gradually became serious, and then he spoke.

"Not long ago, at the border of the Hill Empire, we discovered a ruin..."

"Oh?"

The Elf King frowned, even though his face was expressionless, there was still a trace of curiosity in his heart.

Because since ancient times, only the strong in the sanctuary and above have the qualifications to create a unique secret realm, that is to say, those who own the relics are not ordinary people.

"I found the ruins, that's your business, why tell me?"

An unremarkable voice came out of the Elf King's mouth. He was just a little curious about the ruins. If he wanted to use this to buy himself off, he might not be dreaming.

"Elf King, listen to me first, all the ruins have their owners, and the owner of this ruins, you can never imagine who it is..."

The Elf King frowned immediately, but he didn't speak, because he knew that the other party would explain everything.

"he is the one……"

Leiter's voice seemed to have turned into nothingness. If an ordinary person was present, he would never know what he was talking about, and it was in the fog.

But the Elf King's eyes widened all of a sudden, he abandoned his previous calmness in an instant, and said in a slightly excited tone.

"Is it really him?"

"We have checked all the documents and records, and it is absolutely certain that if the Elven King is willing to support us, His Majesty will personally promise to give you the ruins..."

Hearing this, the Elf King's face was a little cloudy, and finally he closed his eyes lightly, then sighed, and said.

"I can help the Hill Empire, but this is limited to individuals. If you want the elves to participate, then don't talk about it."

Leiter raised the corner of his mouth, his tone full of joy.

"Being able to get the help of the Elf King, even if it is you alone, is better than thousands of troops!"

"But... it's best to bring the little princess with you..."

As soon as the words fell, an extremely terrifying coercion swept over in an instant, and at the same time, cracks appeared frequently on the surrounding walls, as dense as spider webs!
"What are you doing with Tia?"

The voice of the Elf King at this time can be said to be extremely cold, and an extremely dangerous light burst out from those golden eyes.

"Great king! We don't have any malice towards Her Royal Highness, but I just want to remind you that after all, the little princess is almost 16 years old..."

Feeling the pressure on his face, Leiter's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he quickly explained.

"Hmph! Your news is really well-informed..."

The Elf King didn't know what to think of, his face was a little gloomy, and then he hummed heavily.

"You must know that facing a king, of course I have to figure out your emotions, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable..."

Feeling the pressure on his shoulders slowly disappearing, Leiter spoke with a sense of relief.

"Okay! At that time, Tia will go to the Hill Empire with me. If anyone dares to plot against her, don't blame me for being unkind."

Hearing the threat from the Elf King, Lei Te didn't dare to be careless, after all, it would be of no benefit to anyone if he angered the King.

"Then let's do this, we'll be... who in a few days?!"

While speaking, the Elven King's expression suddenly changed, and he flew towards a wooden house near the Tree of Life at an extremely fast speed, which was Tia's residence.

After seeing this, Leiter immediately followed up. It took less than ten seconds to arrive at the door of the wooden house.

"Oh!"

Seeing the wooden door blocking him in front of him, the Elf King directly freed his arm and punched it open. In an instant, the situation inside was presented in his eyes without reservation.

At some point, there was already a figure lying on the ground, and the bright red blood was gurgling, while Tia stared blankly at the elf king who broke in through the door.

"Father?"

A suspicious voice jumped out of the silver-haired girl's mouth. The Elf King came to her side and observed carefully without even thinking about it.

"Tia, are you hurt?"

The Elf King's eyes were full of concern and worry, and Tia shook her head vigorously when she heard the words.

"No...no, it's just that this person rushed towards me just now. Fortunately, there is an enchantment from you, father."

As she said that, Tia couldn't help but glanced at her own shadow with the corner of her eyes, and immediately looked away.

"is it?"

The Elf King nodded, then walked towards the corpse lying on the ground, showing a thoughtful expression.

"This... is this, elf?"

At this time Lei Te also came. After seeing the corpse on the ground for the first time, he subconsciously said it, but quickly vetoed it.

"It should be an elf polluted by magic energy..."

The Elf King's face was heavy, he gently picked up the iron sword in the blood pool, and looked at the red liquid continuously flowing down from the sword, his face was covered with an unprecedented seriousness.
