The Death List Novel - Chapter 367
Chapter 367 Elf Prince
“Elistine, you’re finally willing to come back!” Seeing the arrival of the druid elves, a few elves dressed in gorgeous robes smiled as they greeted her. One of the handsome elves in luxurious clothes walked out from the crowd and gently hugged Elistine, sticking to her cheek.
The elven druid’s body stiffened, as if he wasn’t used to his intimacy. However, when he remembered his responsibility, he forced a smile and responded.
“Are you the messengers that Emma sent back for help?” After letting go of Elistine, the male elf turned to look at Qin Lun and Long Er.
This male elf had green hair and silver eyes, and his appearance was extremely outstanding. Even with a wide robe, it was inevitable for him to have a long and slender body. Her handsome face was like a knife cutting an axe, and her outline was clear. Compared to Qin Lun’s slightly feminine appearance as a Moonlight Fairy, she had an even more heroic aura.
Emma? Hearing the male elf’s question, Qin Lun’s mind started to spin. He didn’t know who Emma was. Before separating from Stark and the others, in order to deal with the possible interrogation of the Jondahl Fairy, the team had tried their best to convey the remaining memories of the possessor to Qin Lun, but there was no Emma.
There were only two possibilities left. One of the three missing apostles was possessed by the elf named Emma. Perhaps he was also the true leader of the elven caravan. The other possibility was that the male elf in front of him was probing him.
Actually, according to the normal process of the mission, the ten apostles were already present when the fortress team entered the Fairy Royal Court, so any probing was meaningless. However, there were only two of them, and the three missing apostles had yet to be recovered. The guidance information given by the Broken Star System was incomplete. Even if there was any suspicion anywhere, they did not know.
This was a difficult problem that would inevitably be encountered by taking a shortcut!
Qin Lun inadvertently glanced at Elistine beside him. Seeing that there was no change in her expression, he immediately made up his mind. He bowed respectfully to the male elf and said in a heavy tone, “Three days ago, a human knight order rushed into our camp and Lord Emma was kidnapped by them.” The guards suffered heavy casualties. The rest of them have already gone to Elbard Town to rescue Lord Emma. Send the two of us back to report. ”
When Elistine was away, he should have sent a message to the Fairy Court and must have verified the identities of him and Loner. If it was anyone else, they would have done so. However, this way, the Jondahl Fairy would be able to test the identities of the two of them again. Moreover, even if there was a probe, the elven druid should know that with her thin skin, it would be difficult to conceal it perfectly.
Since there was no change in her expression, it proved that the male elf in front of her did not probe Qin Lun and Long Er’s identities.
Actually, Qin Lun was overthinking it. Humans and elves were too different in their ideas and actions. It was very difficult for the two races to bury inside spies. Once the elves confirmed Qin Lun’s identity, they no longer suspected them.
“Knights, didn’t you say Thieves?” The green-haired male elf frowned slightly and looked at Elistine with a puzzled look in his silver eyes.
“I haven’t asked them in detail!” Elistine hesitated for a moment before replying indifferently.
“Forget it, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go to the meeting hall to see father first!” The male elf smiled kindly and waved to the two elven knights beside him. “Bring the injured to the hospital. You …”
“Filar Moonlight is at your service!” Seeing the Elf Prince looking at him, Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. He bowed again and announced his name. He also added a surname that represented the Moonlight Elf to the name. This was something that the original storyteller didn’t have.
“En, Ferrari, come with us to see father!” The Elf Prince did not notice Qin Lun’s thoughts and only signaled him to follow him.
Long Er, who was supported by the two elven knights, turned his head slightly to look at Qin Lun, who was following the elven prince. Suddenly, he felt as if he had missed something. However, he had no choice but to continue pretending to be the severely injured Morian.
“Master Elistine, are we really going to meet the Elf King?” Qin Lun quietly approached the elf druid and asked softly with a shy smile on his face.
“Since Prince Kris has said so, there is naturally no mistake!” Elistine turned his head to look at the excited and somewhat helpless youth. He smiled and comforted, “Don’t worry, King Testament is an approachable king. He probably just wants to know the details of the attack on the elven caravan.”
After saying that, Elistine seemed to recall something. A strange light flashed in her beautiful grey pupils and she indifferently asked, “Your surname carries moonlight. Do you belong to the Moon Fairy race?”
Qin Lun’s lips curled into a smile. He didn’t expect Prince Kris to notice the details, but the elven druid noticed them.
The Jondal Fairy was a branch of the Keldomo Fairy in the Ancient Era. It established the Theopia Fairy Court and possessed a complete Ancient Fairy Inheritance. However, the name Jondar Elves did not represent the race of the elves. Instead, it was named after the Jondar Forest. In fact, the race of the Jondar Elves was divided into the Moon Elves and the Green Elves.
Qin Lun didn’t know how much of his Moonlight Fairy bloodline had to do with the Moonlight Fairies on Feilun Continent, but that didn’t stop him from using Moonlight as his surname.
After the transformation of the forest goddess Anna Aldemis in Nars, the Moonlight Fairy bloodline was definitely a very pure high elven bloodline. Qin Lun purposely added the surname Moonlight to Ferrari’s name just to gain some extra benefits for himself.
In all seriousness, the elven guards hired by the elven caravan this time were all elven mercenaries who had walked out of Jondar Forest and experienced the human world. Most of them did not have any relatives or friends, nor did they live in Fairy City. Instead, they lived in small Fairy tribes throughout Jondar Forest.
Ferrari was a descendant of an elf from a small tribe with a mixed bloodline in the Jondar Forest.
Of course, Qin Lun’s high-profile display of his surname did not rule out the possibility of being seen through by the familiar elves in the future. However, the young man did not think that he would stay in the Demon Cup Royal Court for many days, so he naturally did not have any misgivings in this regard.
Seeing that Qin Lun didn’t comment on his question, Elistine frowned slightly and stretched out a slender finger. He used his fingernail to gently stroke the young man’s arm, picking out a drop of blood.
“Mandora!” An astringent incantation sounded out from the elven druid’s mouth. The blood droplet on his fingertips actually lit up with a faint glow. Seeing this soft and pure fluorescence, Elistine’s pupils dilated slightly and he turned to look at Qin Lun in surprise.
It shouldn’t be self-defeating! Qin Lun smiled awkwardly and muttered to himself.
Elistine quickly restrained the shock on his face and wiped off the blood droplets on his fingertips. However, his expression was still a little confused, and he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
There was no exact conclusion from the druid’s face. However, since Elistine didn’t ask, Qin Lun thought that the Moonlight Fairy bloodline should be similar to the Moon Fairy race. At the very least, it wouldn’t be a brand new Fairy bloodline.
Seeing that Elistine was somewhat absent-minded, Qin Lun was secretly delighted. He knew that this was the best time for him to obtain information, so he would occasionally ask a question that seemed unrelated, but could easily deduce other information.
…
The Fairy Castle was actually not as small and exquisite as the outside world had seen. In fact, it was only because the World Tree that enveloped the entire city was too large that it made the castle look somewhat unremarkable.
The gate of the castle was a stone gate that was over a foot thick. Compared to the width of five meters, the height of twenty zhang was somewhat out of proportion. From afar, the gate of the Fairy Castle was like a ray of sky between two cliffs.
After crossing the gate, the grandeur of the interior of the Fairy Castle once again opened Qin Lun’s eyes. There was no human castle’s red carpet, no exquisite oil painting for decoration, and the ground was covered with large bluestones that were as flat as mirrors. There were two neat rows of jade pillars on the left and right that required three people to embrace. The spacious hall and dozens of feet tall dome made Qin Lun feel as if he was in the Titan Giant’s Heavenly God Palace. He only felt that he was so tiny and humble.
At the end of the castle hall was a wide stone staircase. The staircase was somewhat tall and somewhat wide. Almost every staircase was half a meter tall and about 70 to 80 centimeters wide. If Qin Lun hadn’t known that the Demon Cup Royal Court had always belonged to the elves, he would have thought that it was built by a giant.
Following the group up the stairs, Qin Lun discovered the reason why these stairs were shaped like this. Each staircase here was engraved with a relief. The vast majority of them were Jondar’s elves and magical beasts, as well as scenes of war from other races.
These magical beasts and outsiders included ancient creators, Titans, dragons, lizardmen, modern elementium creatures, trolls, goblins, dwarves, humans, and even a small number of evil gods and other elven races.
Looking at these relief sculptures, Qin Lun could only feel a sense of vicissitudes and ancient aura rushing towards him. In the disturbing scenes, the young man could clearly feel the deep feelings of the Jondahl elves and the pride engraved in the bones of this race.
Compared to the Jondahl Elves, the Broken Star Sky had lost its ancient heritage. The Moon Night Elves, who only maintained their superficial elven etiquette, were completely like a group of countryside relatives, their entire bodies emitting an earthy aura.
“Ferrari, what’s wrong?” Shocked, Qin Lun was a little distracted. Only after Elistine had summoned him a few times did he regain his senses.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m a little absent-minded!” Qin Lun scratched his head and said apologetically.
“Haha, it doesn’t matter, I can understand!” Elistine smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t lose your composure when we meet King Testament!”
“Master, please don’t remind me. I feel even more nervous now!” Qin Lun blushed and said with a bitter face. Elistine couldn’t help but laugh.
The Elf Prince leading the way, Kris, looked back at Qin Lun and Elistine in surprise. A complicated gaze flashed in his eyes.
