Elf Story from Another World

Chapter VII

The huge door slowly opened a crack, and everything in the hall came into view instantly.

This is a huge rotunda, with a long staircase in the middle leading up to the green Throne of Thorns.

Next to the throne stood two elves wearing heavy armor. They did not hold long weapons like guards, but put their hands on the short swords at their waists, ready to draw their swords out of their sheaths and fight for their lives against the enemy.

It was surprisingly quiet in the rotunda. The people here seemed to be sculptures, standing there motionless as if they had been standing for a century.

But the two brothers' attention was all focused on the throne covered with thorns, looking at the motionless elf sitting on it.

Is that the Elf King? Ori and Ouyue were stunned at the same time, looking at him blankly.

It was a delicate elf, but he was already a bit old. The elf's hair color was mostly green and brown. But his hair was already mixed with white strands.

He sat on the throne, supporting his head with his hands, as if he was carefully looking at the people who came in, or he seemed to be sleeping.

The growth cycle of elves is particularly strange. It grows very fast in the first twenty years, but then becomes extremely slow when they are around twenty years old, and may not even change for more than two hundred years.

Only in the last thirty years of life do elves begin to show signs of aging. In thirty years, they will go from young to senile.

This shows that the Elf King is very old. Although he almost looks like a middle-aged man now, he is actually very old.

Charlie took off his hat and led Ori and Ou Yue in.

The door behind them closed slowly, and the moment it closed, a huge sound echoed in the rotunda.

This sound woke up the Elf King who was taking a nap. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

Charlie knelt down on one knee from a distance: "Honorable King, according to your instructions, I brought the sons of light and darkness to the remote mountain village."

His voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the rotunda. There is a magic circle for amplification in this hall so that the Elf King can have normal conversations even from a long distance away.

"Are these two little guys?" The Elf King actually smiled and waved to the two brothers from a distance, as if to say hello.

Charlie nodded, and then he pulled off the strips of cloth on Ori and Ouyue's heads, revealing golden and dark black lines, which were their symbols as elemental elves.

"Wow, what a beautiful pattern." The Elf King stood up and clapped, as if this was something surprising.

Ori and Ouyue didn't know how to face each other now, so they had to lower their heads, not daring to look directly at the elf.

The Elf King waved his hand, and Charlie immediately understood. He stood up, patted Ori on the shoulder, and said softly: "I wish you good luck and see you again."

He stood up, bowed to the Elf King again, and slowly walked towards the door. The amplification array turned his footsteps like drums, and the sound of each step was so clear.

Without Charlie, Ou Yue subconsciously grabbed her brother's arm and hid behind him. There seemed to be an invisible pressure in the air, which pressed him down and made him unable to breathe.

"Didn't your family come with you?" The Elf King glanced at them up and down, as if looking at some rare treasure.

Ori nodded. He subconsciously took a step back and stretched out his hand to protect his brother.

"The relationship between the two brothers is good." The Elf King smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

The Elf King sat down slowly: "Before, I was thinking about where you should go to school, but then I felt that it was not suitable anywhere. So I changed it to find two reasonable teachers to teach you individually. Which of you is the elder brother?"

"I'm my brother." Ori used a lot of effort to make himself say these words.

The Elf King nodded and looked at the golden lines on his head and thought for a moment: "I plan to let Pudulas Rhine teach you. He has a lot of attainments in magic and should be able to teach you well."

Then he added: "As for my brother, how about Nasrena Rhine? I believe she can teach you well."

Are they all members of the royal family? Ori swallowed and sighed softly.

He should refuse, because this would very likely lead to him and his brother being forcibly drawn into the Rhine family.

But this is the elf king's will. If you refuse, you will probably offend him.

Ori took a deep breath, sorted out his words, and then knelt down on one knee:

"Honorable King, thank you very much for your invitation." Ori paused, and then said: "But I prefer to follow the school. Please understand that my brother and I come from a mountain village, and there is not even a school there, so my brother and I My only request is that I want to go to school."

These words made the Elf King stunned for a moment, then he frowned slightly, then relaxed, and sighed helplessly.

He didn't expect that this child, who was only ten years old, could actually understand his intentions, and he didn't dare to force them to obey his orders. You must know that the role of the two guards standing next to him is not only to protect him.

The guards on the right of the Elf King are from the Rovira family, and the ones on the left are from the Strass family. They used a little trick to get the two guards to come next to him to "defend" him. In fact, their role should be to report back what the Elf King said.

"Okay, then let's go to school in Zhiling." The Elf King sighed: "Come here, settle them down. Find them a good place to live."

As he finished speaking, a statue standing motionless next to him suddenly took two steps forward: "Your noble king, I have a request."

"Oh" the Elf King smiled slightly, but subconsciously set up a defense line in his heart.

That was a member of the Rovira family. He must be trying to trick him again by opening his mouth now.

"If we don't find a place for them near the school, I ask that they come to my house temporarily." He looked at the Elf King, smiled and said, "I think it is too dangerous for two children to live alone in such a big city. Although I don’t have much ability, I still have the confidence to take care of my two children.”

The corner of the Elf King's mouth twitched. He was feeling miserable and couldn't express it.

If they had agreed to let those two guys be their teachers from the beginning, then they could be naturally brought into the Rhine family's sphere of influence. The Elf King didn't expect that these two people actually rejected his request, so he had to give up.

I didn't expect this guy to be so smart, he would just jump out and grab someone, and the Elf King couldn't refuse easily.

The Forest of All Souls is not a place where houses can be vacated. To find a house to live in, you have to be far away from the city center, which is very inconvenient for them.

"You should ask them both this question." It was not convenient for the Elf King to express his rejection clearly, so he had to say this first.

"Oh, that's right." The Rovira family member could only scratch his head and turned around with a smile.

Every elf is very handsome, including this one. There is no trace of tiredness on this male elf's face. Coupled with this smile, it really makes people naturally trust.

But Ori felt chilled, knowing that this was another poisonous apple being handed to him.

While he was still thinking about how to hand over the poisoned apple, an elf suddenly stood up.

"Honored King, you should know why elemental elves are geniuses that our elves should spare no effort to cultivate." After he came out, he knelt down on one knee in front of the elf king. His tone was not as respectful as the previous ones, but also a little accusatory. Tone.

The Elf King was stunned for a moment, unable to help feeling angry, and then suppressed it forcefully.

There is indeed no need to be polite to this person. He is a member of the Strath family. Since this family's status is second only to the royal family, there is a reason for it. That is, the powerful family is strong enough to directly confront the royal family.

"Because of their high elemental affinity, they can all become important members of the Elf clan." The Elf King suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly.

"To be precise, they have a very high affinity for a single element." The members of Strass said with a hint of accusation in their voices: "So elemental elves should not go through a place like school where learning is very complex. There should be individual A mage with profound attainments in this attribute will teach you."

"Do you mean we don't have any in Rovera?" The elf in front suddenly turned his head. At this time, his eyes completely changed. The amiable expression became like the hateful face of a ferocious beast, and the cold breath came from him. It emanated from the body, and the pupils slowly turned blue.

"This is your own understanding, please don't impose it on me." The members of Strath also looked at each other with almost ferocious expressions. And what emanates from his body is not a cold aura, but an almost substantial murderous aura.

"Fighting is prohibited in the palace." The Elf King almost groaned weakly.

This is not the first time he has encountered such a situation. In this case, all he can do is secretly use magic and mobilize elements to form barriers to protect himself.

Ori already understood that this was not the time for him to get involved. He knelt down and hugged his brother. Ouyue was trembling with fear at this time, and there was no trace of blood on her face.

They can see the flow of elements in the air, which is their privilege as elemental spirits. At this time, the flow of elements in the entire palace was a chaotic mess. The chaotic elements were mixed together, like wild beasts biting each other.

Ori chanted softly, their incompetent father also taught them simple protection spells. For example, low-level low-level light barrier, or low-level low-level light treatment.

The golden light enveloped them from the moment he started chanting, and the chaotic elements impacted on it, making the already weak barrier look like paper. The spider web-like cracks were covered in an instant, as if they were about to shatter in the next second.

A trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The elements in this palace were chaotic and extremely difficult to use. He had never even learned how to use them formally, so he could only chant the few magics he knew over and over again.

Ouyue stared blankly at his brother, looking at the cold sweat on his head.

He wiped the cry from Ori's forehead with the back of his hand, and sang softly.

The cracks in the golden barrier were repaired by substantial dark elements, like a cocoon.

Ori was stunned, looked at Ou Yue, and then smiled softly.

It is estimated that in Ouyue's heart, she still hasn't understood what happened.

But it feels really good to have a guy in this world that I can completely trust. He looks the same as you and came into this world at almost the same time. They grew up clinging to each other, relying on each other's body heat to stay warm.

Suddenly, the elemental turbulence outside slowly weakened.

"Is that the materialization of the elements?" a member of the Rovira family said softly.

"You shouldn't even recognize this, right?" The members of Strath looked at him with a hint of ridicule.

"When was the first time your elements materialized?" The members of the Rovira family rolled their eyes at him.

"Twenty-seven years old," the member of Strath thought for a moment, then said.

He graduated from the school with top marks that year, and was also the first student in the school who could materialize elements.

Materializing elements is not magic, and even if you can't do it, you can still use most spells.

But if it can be done, it will be a qualitative change. The effect that the same spell can achieve is almost the difference between heaven and earth.

And these two children, who are only ten years old, can already do this.

"That's why I said that special talents should teach them." The members of Strath looked at each other with contempt: "Although my uncle Lowenstein is a joke in the family, no one can deny that he is Research results on black magic.”

"Oh, then you should know that there is also Lorena in our family. She even saved your life with holy light treatment." A member of the Rovira family said unconvinced.

"Then consider it as a return of favor." The members of Strass said unhappily, and then pointed to the barrier built by light elements and black elements in front of them.

The barrier shattered, and the two children inside looked at him in horror.

"To be fair, I want a younger brother and you want a older brother." The members of Strass snapped their fingers: "That's enough. We can all give an explanation to the elders in the family."

The Elf King was completely ignored at this time, and could only crush the handle of the throne with a smile on his face. Thorns dug into his hands and blood ran down the handles. But it didn't seem to be painful at all.

What can he do? He is already old. In recent years, it has been obvious that he has become nothing more than a mere formality. The rumor that Rhine is the head of the three major families is simply a joke, because even Rovella, who has been severely suppressed, is now powerful enough to shake the throne.

"My lords, please don't let me separate from my brother." Ori quickly knelt down and shouted these words almost wailing.

"Okay, as you said." The members of the Rovira family didn't even look at the child kneeling on the ground. They waved helplessly at the guy next to them, meaning that the matter was settled.

Ou Yue still didn't understand what happened, but he knew that his brother was leaving him, so he could only hold his brother with all his strength. Water really welled up in his big watery eyes.

A huge gravitational pull seemed to come from the walls on both sides, and a ruthless force forced them apart. And he threw it violently against the wall, making a huge noise.

This is the gravitational pull of the mid-level magic of the space system. This kind of power is not something that children can break free from.

"Good deal." The member of Strath took off his gloves.

The member of Rovira also took off his gloves and held his two broad hands together.

"May the ancestors grant you glory." They said at the same time. If it weren't for the expressions on their faces that looked like they had been fed shit, it would really make people think that they were sincere.

Even though both parties were filled with dissatisfaction, they had no choice but to accept this ending.

Because one is better than nothing

Ori made one mistake from the beginning. The reason why they were scrupulous was simply because there were other forces restricting them. As for Ori and Oyue, they were nothing more than commodities. If the major forces reach a consensus, who cares what they think?

Elemental elves are, at best, magic geniuses, but at worst, they are nothing more than strategic weapons. They are bred just for war.

Their role is just to kill people.
