The griffin flew over the surface of the lake, and the whistling winds swept up ripples across the calm surface of the lake.
Meg looked down at the schools of fish that were fleeing in all directions, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
This was a much better feeling than taking a helicopter!
After circling around The Wind Forest and entering Warden Lake, they didn't encounter any elves along the way.
After avoiding the three elven patrol squads, Meg commanded the griffin to swoop down and fly close to the surface of the lake.
Warden Lake was very large, and there were small islands scattered across the surface of the lake. Golden reeds could be seen all over the surface of the lake, and it wasn't a bottomless lake, making it very easy for the griffin to conceal itself.
However, it was exactly because of this that catching a duck in such a massive body of water wasn't as simple as Meg had imagined.
The Gryphon swept across the reeds, startling a flock of water birds, wild ducks, swans, and all kinds of unknown birds. They flew in all directions, and some of them were even frightened by the Gryphon's aura, falling straight into the water and dying of fright.
"Restrain your aura. We are not Detective Conan. Wherever we go, there will be death," Mag said helplessly as he looked at the waterfowls that had fallen belly-up on the water behind them.
The purple-striped gryphon nodded. It retracted its powerful aura and became much gentler. Although there were still various birds flying around, at least it wasn't as tragic as before, where not a single bird was left behind.
Meg's eyes widened as he stared at the birds flying out of the reeds, but even after half an hour, he still didn't discover anything. A resigned look appeared on his face as he said, "System, what does that Red-top Tricolor Cat … duck look like? Can you at least give me a picture of it? "
"Host, can't you imagine what it looks like even with such an obvious name? That's a duck with red feathers and three different colors. Do you understand now? "The system said in a tone that was exasperated at the fact that he had failed to meet its expectations.
"Just give me a picture." Meg rolled his eyes. He hadn't seen a duck that looked like this during this entire journey.
"Alright, looks like I overestimated you."
An image appeared in Meg's mind, and it depicted an indescribably ugly duck.
To put it simply, it was as if someone had caught a white swan, then painted its head with red paint, followed by green, black, and red paint all over its body. In the end, it had transformed into a duck.
Meg was silent for a moment before a complex expression appeared on his face. "System, you didn't draw this duck, did you? Is this a new species that you created on a whim? "
"Host, your way of thinking is very narrow-minded. Nature's uncanny workmanship can even create a face like yours. Why should I be the one to draw this duck? Also, this duck may be ugly, but when God closed a door, he also left a window. its meat is so delicious that it's even more delicious than that of a swan's meat. "
"Is it a good thing for a duck to have delicious meat? When God closed the door, he also sealed the window and tossed a grenade into it, "Meg said with a shrug.
"Well..." The system paused momentarily before continuing, "In any case, just follow this image. If you want to obtain the best ingredients, you have to be diligent and patient. They often hide in unexpected places, so it's not easy to find them."
"As if I'll believe you..." Meg rolled his eyes, but he still began to inspect his surroundings more carefully.
The ceremony was going to last for around three hours, and he had to find the Tricolor Duck within that time frame. Only then would he be able to complete his mission.
…
Borg's voice trailed off, and everyone fell silent.
Hesitant expressions appeared on all of the elves' faces. Borg had listed Irina's crimes, but he was still quite hesitant to remove Irina from her position as the princess.
As the princess of the elven race, Irina had been acknowledged by the Tree of Life at birth, and had received special blessings from the Goddess of Life ever since she was a child. She possessed astonishing aptitude, and was the most powerful being among the younger generation of the elven race. She was even more powerful than the elves who had lived for several centuries, and was almost invincible in the elven race.
She was the pride of the elven race, and the princess in the hearts of all the elves. She was the next elven queen.
She had become a 10th-tier magic caster at only 30 years of age, and she still had an extremely long lifespan ahead of her. No one knew how far she would go in the future, and perhaps she would become even more powerful than the elven queen.
However, Borg was now going to remove her from her position as the princess.
"An eye for an eye! Even if she's a princess, she can't kill her own kind for no reason. That's not something a princess would do! Schubert was such a kind elf, and he was my best friend for several centuries, but he was killed by Irina for no reason at all! "The leader of the Bearman Family was quite emotional.
The leader of the Earhart Family also chimed in in a cold voice, "Irina has repeatedly obstructed our race from capturing traitors, and even killed Schubert and Colby because of traitors. Master Borg is right; her actions have already made her a traitor. Not only should she be removed from her position as the princess, she should also be killed on the spot! We have to avenge our fallen brethren! "
"On behalf of the Bullard Family, I support the removal of Irina from her position as the princess. Please vote on this!"
"I also support the removal of Irina from her position as the princess."
In just a few minutes, four of the eight major families had expressed their support for the removal of Irina from her position as the princess. Immediately thereafter, even more family leaders also expressed their support.
All of a sudden, everyone on the plaza was yelling, "Remove Irina from her position as the princess! Avenge our fallen brethren! "
Borg cast his gaze toward the four major families that hadn't expressed their support, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.
All of the family leaders didn't dare to look directly at Borg as they turned toward Helena in unison, including Elliot and Vincent.
All of the family leaders who didn't say anything in the crowd were also looking at Helena.
Even many of the elders in the panel of elders were looking at Helena.
As the high priestess, Helena's prestige in the elven race was second only to that of the queen, and second only to Borg.
Furthermore, the queen had rarely interfered in the affairs of the elven race, so Helena was basically the one who was running the elven race, including the formulation of the system.
As such, even though Borg's Sette Family was very powerful, he still wasn't able to make all of the major families swear allegiance to him.
The family system was first proposed by Helena, and she was the one who had promoted it.
Most of the family leaders present had been promoted by her.
As such, her stance was very important.
Borg's brows furrowed as he turned to Helena, and said, "High Priestess Helena..."
"The Goddess of Life and the queen have chosen me; who do you think you are to remove me from my position?"
