The Death List Novel - Chapter 392
Chapter 392 Tynequilas Night Star
Qin Lun raised his head and looked at the ancient hall he was in. Eighteen vine pillars that required three adult elves to embrace stood around the hall and converged on the dome of the hall.
The vine pillars were filled with large leaves of the world. These leaves were emerald green and transparent. Under the sunlight, the dark green muscles and veins in the leaves could be clearly seen. It was like a slice of a giant cell, showing the vicissitudes of time in its vigorous vitality.
Compared to the meeting hall on the top floor of the Demon Cup Castle, this grand Nature Hall was less arrogant and looked down on the world, but had an ancient and natural aura of life.
This was Cloud City’s Royal Court. In the huge hall, besides Qin Lun, there was also a silver-haired elf standing beside him. The elf’s shoulder-length silver hair was tied into plaits by a few plain silver bands and casually scattered behind her head.
He stood by the window of the hall, staring at the floating clouds outside of heaven, as if he hadn’t noticed Qin Lun’s arrival. His shoulders were much thicker than most moon elves, and he had a slender figure. He wore a golden-trimmed robe embroidered with a silver moon embroidered on his back. Looking from the side, his face was like a perfect sculpture carved with a knife and axe. However, there were traces of time left behind between his eyebrows. It was obvious that his age was not as young as he appeared on the surface.
“Filar, if you were King Testament, would you let the Moon Fairy Tribe migrate to Anke Forest?” After a while, the silver-haired elf finally sighed and turned to look at Qin Lun calmly.
Qin Lun did not expect the silver-haired elf to ask him such a question. However, his face was still slightly stunned. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and replied, “If I were King Testament, I would seek reconciliation with the Kingdom of Jondas when I ascended to the throne. Even if I could not, I should at least send people to investigate the information of the various kingdoms on the continent.”
The silver-haired elf’s eyes flickered with admiration. Qin Lun did not answer his question, but it was obvious that he had already answered his question.
King Testament’s actions against the Jondar Moon Fairy did not make many mistakes, judging from a king’s wrist. Whether it was the Huairou policy in the early stage or the suppression of the Moon Fairy Tribe by the United Elders Council in the late stage, they were all wise moves. The only reason why he couldn’t succeed was because the corner of the Anke Forest had been broken into.
After the Moon Fairy Tribe decided to relocate, it was not important for King Testament to let go. At that time, the initiative had already changed hands. Even if King Testament interfered to the end, he would not be able to keep the Moon Fairies’ hearts.
Outsiders thought that King Testament was just unlucky, but if he hadn’t ignored the external factors and focused solely on dealing with internal affairs, he wouldn’t have neglected the factors that affected the Anke Forest and even the Japanese Elves.
“After our elves lost their continental hegemony, many elven courts are still addicted to the glory of the past. Like an ostrich, they hide their heads in the increasingly narrow forest and are unwilling to come into contact with the increasingly powerful and prosperous humans.” A self-deprecating smile appeared on the silver-haired elves’ faces. “They didn’t know that the sun and moon were still spinning. They wouldn’t change their minds. Races that couldn’t adapt to the times would eventually be eliminated by the times.”
“Many of the races that created brilliant civilizations have disappeared into the river of history, while our elves have lived in Ferren for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps many elves think that humans with short lifespans will only be a flash in the pan!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he smiled.
“What about you? Ferrar, what do you think?” The silver-haired elf’s eyes lit up as he asked with interest.
“I don’t know if humans are short-lived!” Qin Lun gently shook his head and smiled. “I only know that if the elves don’t make any changes, they will very soon withdraw from Fei Lun’s stage of history like dragons or giants.”
“Is this your own conclusion?” The silver-haired elf nodded noncommittally. “You haven’t wasted all your years traveling on the continent!”
After a brief pause, the silver-haired elf asked softly, “Then do you think the plan to move the Sun Elves to Evergathering Island is feasible?”
“Too conservative. Our elves are not weak enough to give up Ferren Continent and hide overseas.” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said carefully, “Humans are not intelligent races that hold groups and exclude foreigners. There has never been a lack of wars and conspiracies between kingdoms. Since humans also gave birth to the Nethril Empire in the Era of the Elves, we can also coexist with humans now.”
The silver-haired elf finally revealed an undisguised expression of admiration. He smiled and nodded, “Elder Edeline is right. You are a very good young man. Perhaps I should let my worthless sons and daughters go on a tour of the continent as well!”
“Your Majesty, you are too flattering!” Qin Lun bowed modestly.
King Tynequilas waved his hand and turned to look at the white clouds outside the window. The room fell into silence. After a while, the Elf King took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision. He resolutely turned around and looked at Qin Lun with a burning gaze.
“Ferrari, I have a task for you!”
Qin Lun frowned slightly. After arriving at the Anke Fairy Court, Nicole had already reunited with Stark and the others. However, to everyone’s surprise, the fortress team had actually suffered a loss of personnel during the escort mission. One of their companions had died and two had been seriously injured.
Only after asking did Qin Lun and Nicole know that Prince Kris’s envoy had been attacked by a large Knights Order of the Jondas Kingdom while crossing the river. The risk they encountered was no less than the Moon Fairy Migration Team, and it met the requirements of the school-level mission.
The three unlucky apostles were drowned under the knights’ iron hooves without any time to rescue them. One of them died on the spot. Although the other two survived, their intestines were pierced through and their stomachs were rotten. Their injuries were so severe that they were unable to use their recovery items. They could only use the precious equipment of their guild to send them back to the shattered starry sky.
Luckily, this battle had instead increased the mission evaluation, allowing the fortress team to gain more contribution points, but it didn’t cost the three unlucky proteins their lives in vain.
The fortress team had now officially accepted Prince Milleras’ hire to work with the Lost Team on this important storyline. As a member of the fortress team, Qin Lun had already planned to leave the Anke Fairy Court and join the Japanese Fairy Envoy as a hired elf.
King Tynequilas’ solemn explanation was clearly a mission that could be officially acknowledged by the Broken Star System. However, there was no time left for him to complete this mission.
Qin Lun regretted acting too much in front of the Elf King. After receiving the large-scale plot of The Ancient Road from the Japanese Fairy Envoy Group, he relaxed a little and completely forgot that Anke Fairy Court was also an important plot point. It was indeed possible for King Tynequilas to take on other storyline missions.
“You don’t want to?” King Tynequilas was extremely shrewd. He immediately saw something strange on Qin Lun’s face, and he immediately felt a little surprised. In his opinion, this young elf, who was a descendant of the royal family, should not reject him.
“No, my king, Ferrari will be happy to help you!” Qin Lun took a deep breath and knew that he had no choice.
The Ank Fairy Court might not be able to produce a more important storyline mission than the Sun Fairy’s Ancient Road, but there was no harm in listening to it. Even if he triggered the mission, he didn’t have to execute it. At most, he would leave. He didn’t have any sense of responsibility towards the elves. Whether or not he would leave any trouble for the Jondar Moon Elves who had just moved over was beyond his consideration.
To the Toril world, the apostles were, after all, just passers-by. However, the next moment, the words spoken by King Tynequilas caused Qin Lun to slowly raise his eyebrows. His heart was filled with an unbelievable feeling.
Until he walked out of the Elf King’s hall, Qin Lun was still lamenting this wonderful encounter. He couldn’t help but look at the storyline quest that had just appeared on the death list.
“Apostle 70053, you have triggered the hidden plot of the Ancient Era’s Path (False)!”
[Ancient Road (False): The Ank Fairy King asks you to participate in the plot of the Ancient Road as the Fairy Prince of Theopia. Follow the Fairy Prince Milleras to complete the feat of returning to the Ancient Road so that the Moon Fairy can take a place in the future Sun Court and share the righteous status and leadership of the Fairy.
Mission objective: Return to the Ancient Road, accompany the Japanese Fairy envoys to visit the major races on the continent, and spread the influence of the Moon Fairies to the various Fairy Courts along the Ancient Road. However, there is no need to reach the Evergathering Island under the control of the Japanese Fairies.
Mission reward: Depending on the apostle’s contribution to the mission, the duration of stay will be increased by one month. Currently, the remaining time is 43 days and 5 hours. After the period of stay is exceeded, each arrival at an important location is recorded.
If the World Exploration Rate exceeds 0.01%, the cost of the stay will be borne by the Broken Star System. Less than 0.01% will be credited by the apostles and deducted from the mission reward upon reunification. The total world exploration rate exceeded 0.1%, and the final mission evaluation increased by one rank.
Tip: The apostles already have a true storyline for the Ancient Road. The rewards for this quest will be consolidated and settled together. The level of world exploration for this storyline is temporarily unknown, and since the apostle’s team has completed the main storyline, they can choose to return immediately whenever they arrive at an important location. On the way to the mission, he could not choose to return to the Broken Star
Tip: This storyline is based on the storyline identity of Apostle 70053 and does not need to be shared with other team members. However, if other Apostles participate in Ancient Road, the contribution of Apostle 70053 will also be reduced. It is recommended that this task be shared with other Apostles. ”
No matter what, Qin Lun had never imagined that King Tynequilas would give him such a mission!
While the other Fairy Courts rejected and vigilantly guarded the Sun Fairy envoys, not only did the Ank Fairy King not stop the Sun Fairy, he was also planning and using the Sun Fairy to snatch the glory of returning to the Ancient Road and share the righteous status of the Sun Fairy.
King Tynequilas’ vision made Qin Lun fall for it. The murderer’s heart was filled with anticipation and excitement.
If it weren’t for the time limit, he really wanted to stay in Ferren Continent to see how high this Elf King could take the Ank Elves, no, the current Theopian Elves.
