Chapter 219: Chapter219:The Elven Queen
"Third, third..."
The crystal carrot Dora was thinking when suddenly it felt its leaves being grabbed from above, and it was pulled straight out of the soil.
In mid-air, it had no place to anchor and its roots flailed wildly.
Seeing Dora\'s predicament, Enzo, holding Dora by its leaves, asked with a smile, "Is this how you usually deceive others?"
"This is not deception!"
Dora protested, pointing at Eve and continuing, "She stepped on my roots first, so I demanded compensation. This is perfectly reasonable."
Hearing this, Enzo chuckled.
He began to dig the soil to replant Dora deeper, but at that moment, two elven guards on patrol noticed what was happening.
"What are you doing?"
The two elven guards called out, stopping them.
Enzo paused his actions, holding Dora up, and said, "It came out of the soil, and I was just going to replant it deeper."
Dora quickly protested, "No, no!"
The elven guards\' expressions changed instantly. They exchanged glances, then positioned themselves on either side of Enzo and said, "Outsiders, mistreating plants is not allowed in Elven Homeland. Your actions violate the rules here. Please come with us."
Hearing this, Enzo didn\'t refuse.
But he wasn\'t keen on being taken away like this.
He said to the guards, "You are elves and should know your rulers. Take me to see them. I have matters to discuss."
"Do you wish to see Her Majesty the Queen?"
One of the guards\' voices rose in suspicion and hostility.
The other guard sneered, "Outsider, put away your dirty thoughts. The Elven Queen is not someone you can meet. And your excuse is quite flimsy. Many outsiders try the same."
"Is that so?"
Enzo replied with a smile.
He took out the two Elven Tree seeds given to him by Mina, placed them in his palm, and asked the two elven guards, "Do the outsiders you mentioned have these?"
The seeds in Enzo\'s palm emitted a strange aura .
Elves could easily sense the strange aura.
The guards instantly recognized the seeds, their faces showing shock. They demanded, "Where did you get these seeds?"
Enzo put the seeds away and didn\'t answer.
Instead of becoming angry, the guards immediately calmed down and slightly bowed, saying, "Esteemed guest from afar, we welcome you to Elven Homeland. I will report your request to meet the Queen. Please wait a while."
As they spoke, a melodious tune emanated from the guards.
A silver-white fairy appeared, hovering in front of the guards, and asked, "Mises, what message do you need me to convey? Remember, the fee is ten drops of Elves Water."
The guard handed over the ten drops of Elves Water.
Then, the requirements were conveyed.
After finishing speaking, the silvery little sprite once again traversed through space and left. The sprite guardian named Mises then explained to Enzo, "This is a Space Sprite of the Elven Homeland. They naturally master the power of space elements, allowing them to travel swiftly through space.
They also serve as messengers of the Elven Homeland."
Not long after, a spatial portal opened beside the two sprite guardians. From it emerged a graceful elven girl clad in silver armor, which covered only the essential areas while leaving her arms, midriff, and thighs exposed.
The two sprite guardians hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Jennings!"
Jennings looked at Enzo and asked, "Outsider, are you the one who brought the seed of the Elven Tree?"
Enzo replied, "Yes, it is me."
Jennings nodded, said nothing more, and instructed, "Follow me. I will take both of you to meet Queen."
With that, Jennings opened a spatial portal.
However, it was evident that the portal Jennings opened was different from those used by outsiders. As Enzo and his companion entered, they discovered it was like a maze, where a moment of inattention could easily lead them astray.
Jennings explained, "The existence of the Elven Homeland is quite unique, so space portals cannot be opened casually, or it might cause problems with the operation of the Elven Homeland."
This piqued Enzo\'s curiosity.
A unique existence?
However, he didn\'t press further. Jennings seemed to have a rather indifferent personality and didn\'t appear to enjoy talking much.
Soon, Enzo and Eve followed Jennings through the portal and arrived at another door. Jennings opened it and stepped out, with Enzo and Eve following behind.
Outside the door was a bustling city.
The city was filled almost entirely with elves, with numerous small sprites flying about. There were only a few humans and other races present.
Jennings appeared to be quite well-known in this city.
As soon as she appeared, almost all the elven residents looked over and greeted her, but Jennings paid no attention.
However, Enzo and Eve, who followed Jennings, also received a significant amount of attention. The elves were abuzz with speculation about the origins of Enzo and Eve. The curiosity reached its peak as they entered the palace with Jennings.
"What kind of people are they?"
"Oh my, Lord Jennings personally invited them into the palace. When will I ever have such honor?"
"I bet something big is about to happen in the Elven Homeland!"
"…"
Enzo did not hear the murmurs of the crowd. After Jennings led him and Eve into the palace, they meandered around and finally arrived at the palace\'s rear courtyard.
In the courtyard sat a female elf.
At first glance, she exuded an air of nobility and purity. Although she was scantily clad, with only a piece of white fabric covering her big breasts and minimal material covering her legs, she did not evoke any lascivious thoughts.
It was clear that this female elf was the Elven Queen.
And Jennings\'s words confirmed this.
She addressed the female elf, "Queen Lord, the guest has arrived, and he holds the seed of the Elven Tree."
The Elven Queen looked up at Enzo.
She summoned servants to bring three wicker chairs and then said to Enzo, Eve, and Jennings, "Please, have a seat."
She then waved her hand.
And a stone table appeared in front of them, covered with a variety of sumptuous fruits, many of which radiated a supernatural aura, indicating their extraordinary nature.
The Elven Queen then asked, "May I see the two Elven Tree seeds?"
Enzo nodded and handed the seeds over.
The Elven Queen examined them carefully, then shook her head with regret, saying, "Unfortunately, too much time has passed. The vitality of these Elven Tree seeds has dissipated."
Hearing this, Enzo remained expressionless.
Jennings, sitting next to him, looked distressed and could not help but ask, "Queen, are you saying...?"
The Elven Queen shook her head, causing Jennings to fall silent immediately.
She then turned to Enzo and said, "Outsider who has come from afar, although the Elven Tree seeds cannot survive, we still appreciate your effort. What kind of reward do you seek?"
Without hesitation, Enzo replied, "Elves Spring."
At the mention of Elves Spring, both the Elven Queen and Jennings\' expressions changed drastically. They quickly stood up and almost in unison asked, "Where did you learn about Elves Spring?"
The situation clearly seemed off.
Enzo mentally cursed Mina, realizing he had been misled by Mina.
Considering Mina was from centuries ago, the information she provided might well be outdated.
Despite this, Enzo remained unperturbed.
He directly asked, "Do you know the Potion Master Mina?"
The Elven Queen and Jennings sat back down.
The Elven Queen shook her head and said, "We do not know him. There are no records of Potion Master Mina in the history of the elves."
This response caused Enzo\'s expression to change slightly.
He continued, "These two Elven Tree seeds were brought to me by Potion Master Mina, who said there was an agreement with the elven people. As for Mina\'s identity, he was one of the high-ranking members of the Barren Mountain Tribe on the Barren Peninsula over 800 years ago."
With this information about Mina, Enzo felt no burden.
However, the Elven Queen shook her head and said, "I\'m very sorry, but the historical records from that time are incomplete, and we cannot understand what happened then. Moreover, we cannot fulfill your request.
The Elves\' Spring has long since dried up, but this information has been kept secret to avoid confusion."
The Elves\' Spring had long since dried up!
The news that the Elves\' Spring had dried up clearly caught Enzo off guard.
If that\'s the case, then the plan to use the Elves\' Spring to enhance things is thoroughly ruined.
At this point, the Elven Queen said, "You can make another request."
However, Enzo had not yet considered any other demands.
He looked at the two Elven Tree seeds on the stone table and asked, "Queen, if I manage to make these Elven Tree seeds sprout, what reward would you offer?"
The Elven Queen frowned, her tone growing stern.
She said,"Outsider, I do not believe this is a matter for jest. The Elven Tree is one of the symbols of the elven spirit and is not to be desecrated!"
At that moment, Jennings appeared extremely excited.
