The Elf King’s gentle attitude surprised Qin Lun. As a psychologist, he could tell from the Elf King’s tone that this was true tolerance and humility, not just a superficial etiquette. As Elistine said, King Testament was an approachable king.

Faced with King Testament’s question, Qin Lun told the story in the simplest language about the attack on the envoy disguised as an elven caravan. Although he hadn’t witnessed the attack with his own eyes, the apostles of the fortress team were experienced and could deduce the general situation from the battle traces on the spot.

In this narrative, Qin Lun did his best to objectively copy the process of the attack, and did not interfere with his own judgement. He still didn’t know this Elf King, so he didn’t want to arouse his suspicions. However, in the end, Qin Lun still vaguely said that this was a premeditated attack by the human lord, not just a thief group.

“Ferrari, why do you think this must be done by the Human Knights, not some Thieves?” Hearing Qin Lun’s judgment, King Testament frowned and asked.

“They are well-equipped and have a large number of horses. Otherwise, Lord Emma would not have been kidnapped by them unexpectedly with the defensive formation of the carriage.” Qin Lun couldn’t conceal his anger as he said in a heavy tone, “Albard’s vicinity is a delta plain filled with waterways. It’s impossible for a human lord to allow such a large-scale bandits to exist nearby. They can only be disguised as regular knights.”

Qin Lun’s judgment was basically the consensus of the fortress team. The numerous horse hoof prints near the camp proved this. He wasn’t afraid that the Fairy King would see the flaws.

King Testament nodded noncommittally, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. Qin Lun’s words were well-founded, and he couldn’t help but believe it. Moreover, as an Elf King, he naturally had a lot of information to verify. The recent unusual disturbances in the Jondas Kingdom also reflected the possibility that the human lord of Elbard might attack the elven envoy disguised as a caravan.

“Filar, do you think the remaining mercenaries of the mercenary corps can save Emma?” King Testament asked indifferently.

‘”There’s about a fifty percent chance!” Before the mercenary commander sent me back to report, he told me that although they weren’t strong enough to fight against Elbard’s forces, they could still kidnap Elbard’s human lord in exchange for Lord Emma through the beheading tactic. Qin Lun said firmly with a determined expression on his face.

“Beheading tactics?” A hint of helplessness flashed through the Elf King’s eyes. If he kidnapped a human lord, this incident would definitely worsen. However, not rescuing the messenger would also cause humans to be pushed inch by inch. This was truly a dilemma.

Although the Jondar Elves and the Jondas Kingdom had a grudge of more than a thousand years, and they were enemies of life and death that could not be resolved, they had actually been at peace for the past two centuries. Moreover, the Demon Cup Royal Court was currently in a difficult situation. Even if the Jondas Kingdom did not have the strength to go deep into the forest, it would still bring them great trouble if they surrounded the Jondar Elves at the edge of the forest.

The only fortunate thing was that the Fairy Royal Court had envisaged such a situation beforehand. Whether it was disguised as a caravan or an external mercenary group that hired humans and elves, they were all based on such considerations.

The Elf King’s eyes flickered, and he quickly came to a decision. When he looked at the three of them, his eyebrows relaxed and he no longer thought about the incident. He only smiled and said to Qin Lun, “Although you are only a mercenary now, you are also a member of Jondahl. You have shown great courage this time. Are you willing to join the Royal Guards?”

Join the Royal Guards? Facing the invitation from the Elf King, Qin Lun’s pupils constricted and his mind started to spin. He didn’t know the nature of the so-called royal guards, but judging from the tone of the Elf King, this should be considered a reward for him.

Making a low-ranking elven warrior his personal guard might just be the Elf King’s subconscious method of recruiting him, but Qin Lun instinctively felt that something was wrong. After all, he was not from the Fairy King’s Court, but from a small tribe in the periphery of the Jondar Forest. He immediately became a personal attendant who could approach the Fairy King at any time. Could it be that there really wasn’t a difference between familiarity and familiarity?

The elves were indifferent and did not pursue fame and fortune like humans, but this did not mean that there was no class for elves. On the contrary, the naturally proud elves paid great attention to etiquette and class. The classes that weren’t divided by money and power were actually based on bloodline inheritance.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he looked at Prince Kris and Elistine beside him. Facing the Elf King’s suggestion, the Elf Prince’s face was filled with confusion. He lowered his head and pondered. The elf druid, on the other hand, frowned and looked at him with an undetectable nervousness mixed in with his solemn gaze.

What’s she nervous about? Could it be that the reason why the Elf King roped him in had something to do with Elistine? Qin Lun’s mind flashed with lightning as he entered the Fairy Royal Court from the two of them until he ascended to the top floor of the conference hall.

Elistine’s identity was definitely not simple, as could be seen from the fact that the Elf Prince had specially come out to welcome him.

Was King Testament already paying attention to her? Among the elven knights that followed the two of them, did the Elf King specially arrange spies for them? Could it be that they had somehow fed back his conversation with Elistine to the Elf King, and even included the process of the elf druid verifying his moonlight bloodline?

Perhaps King Testament’s invitation wasn’t a whim Qin Lun narrowed his eyes.

Qin Lun’s thoughts only lasted for an instant, and a shy expression quickly appeared on his face. He looked up and replied with regret, “Ferral is very happy to serve the royal family. It’s just that I have signed a long-term contract with the mercenary corps, and there are still a few years before it expires. I’m afraid I’ll let His Majesty down.”

“It doesn’t matter. Keeping promises is a good virtue!” King Testament’s expression did not change. He smiled and waved his hand, but his tone was slightly disappointed, causing Qin Lun’s face to show even more apology.

After Qin Lun rejected the Elf King, he sneaked a glance at Elistine and heaved a sigh of relief, confirming his guess.

In fact, even without Elistine, Qin Lun could not join the Royal Guards. Promise King Testament that he will receive a huge reward quickly. The question is, after becoming the Royal Guards, will he be able to continue to participate in the main plot of the fortress team?

Perhaps, based on the actual situation of the Fairy Court, Qin Lun would trigger an important historical storyline on King Testament, but because of the special status of the Royal Guards, it was impossible for the fortress guild to participate in this storyline. They had to be separated from the guild and could no longer assist Starr and the others.

After completing the guidance mission, he ignored the interests of the guild and ran to the other storylines. No matter how strong his performance was, the fortress team would not give him a good evaluation. It was obviously unacceptable that he had to obtain the acknowledgement of the Sky Floating Team when contacting him.

…

“Why would you reject King Testament? Rather than being a wandering mercenary, becoming a member of the Royal Guards is the ultimate goal of many elven rangers.” In a guest room on the lower floor of the Fairy Castle, Elistine stared at Qin Lun curiously, as if he wanted to find a flower on the young man’s face.

Qin Lun looked at the elven druid and smiled without saying a word. To him, this kind of probing was too small. Moreover, although he had guessed a little, he was still unclear about the specific situation. If he said too much, he would reveal himself. It was better not to speak.

King Testament’s sudden invitation reminded Qin Lun of many things. He didn’t rule out the possibility that the Elf King admired him, but it was more likely that he had achieved some kind of goal by roping him in. Judging from Elistine’s nervousness at that time, it was very likely that it had something to do with her.

Based on this, Qin Lun could easily deduce that the problem was his Moonlight Fairy bloodline. After Elistine entered the castle, the process of testing his bloodline should have fallen into the eyes of those who wanted to. Perhaps it was some elven knight who reported it to King Testyr.

After Elistine tested his bloodline, he didn’t say anything, but after that, the elven druid answered his questions and acted very kindly. Qin Lun didn’t feel anything strange before, but he immediately reacted after the Elf King invited him to join the Royal Guards and Elistine showed signs of nervousness.

Elistine must have some sort of connection with him. It was very likely that he was related by blood. The druid should also be a pure-blooded Moon Fairy. Thinking back to Elistine’s extraordinary background, it was obvious that King Testament was trying to rope in the Moon Fairies.

Elf Kings were different from human kings. Every Elf King was a warrior or mage with high martial power, and also a wise man with rich experience. No matter how amiable and approachable he was, he was still a king with good manners and wrist. No one could underestimate him.

However, Qin Lun was still unable to figure out what was going on inside. This was also the reason why he was unwilling to open his mouth right now.

Even though both Elistine and him were pure-blooded Moon Elves, was there a need to attach such importance to him? After all, the storyline king he possessed, Ferrar, was only from a small tribe in the periphery. His status was low and he had no influence on the other elves.

“It’s hard for you. Actually, I personally support King Testament’s reform measures. However, this is a joint decision of the Moon Elf Tribal Council. I have no choice.” Elistine had a lonely expression and sat down in the living room with some disappointment.

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He suddenly realized that he was close to the secret of the Jondal Fairy Kingdom. Perhaps it could trigger a major storyline. He blinked and lowered his voice. He comforted gently, “Now is the time for the Fairy Court to be in danger. We need to unite even more.” Could it be that with your status, you can’t influence the thoughts of the tribal elders? ”

“What can I do? If only mother was still here!” Elistine’s face suddenly turned red and he shrunk his neck.

Qin Lun found it funny. Elistine was a typical ostrich mentality. If he encountered any troubles, he would bury his head in the ground and let it go out of sight. However, recalling the impression Elistine had left on her along the way, this elven druid with a painted face might really be a young elven girl who could not bear the burden on her shoulders.

“Elistine, I’ve been wandering outside these past few years. I’m not sure about the changes in the kingdom. Can you tell me about it?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled at Elistine.
