Chapter 496

"Greetings, Elf Queen."

Suddenly, La Xia bowed to Elf Queen Sophie as if she wanted to break the heavy atmosphere.

Sophie had a huge reaction when she bowed.

"You... You're welcome!"

Sophie quickly shook her head and waved her hands.

Rather than saying that he was modest, it would be more accurate to say that he was frightened.

Shien had seen the same scene before.

Previously, when Si Xia had bowed to Ai Yi and Sai La, the two Demon Cultivators had reacted similarly, as if they were overwhelmed by the favor, or perhaps they could not bear it.

Shien sensed that something was wrong, but both Ai Yi and Sylar were evasive and did not explain to Shien at all.

Now, even the Elf Queen, who had lived for thousands of years, behaved in such a manner, which really puzzled Shien.

However, looking at Rosie's unprecedentedly serious expression, the inside story of this matter did not seem that simple. Otherwise, this girl would not have stopped him from pursuing the matter.

At that moment, Shien could only turn to look at La Xia.

However, La Xia was still expressionless. It did not seem like it was caused by being too calm. Instead, it seemed like she was resisting something, which was why she was so indifferent.

This seemed to make Ai Yi very unhappy, and the way she looked at the Elf Queen also became unfriendly.

Seeing this, Sophie could not help but feel bitter.

She knew that she had inadvertently touched upon the secret that all those who stood at the top of the Omnippertansen tacitly chose to remain silent.

She had not been out in the world for too long. Although she had been paying attention to all kinds of news in the outside world, she had only been paying attention. Many things were limited to the extent that she only knew about them. She had not experienced them personally, so she was ultimately lacking in some psychological preparation.

That was why Sophie reacted subconsciously when she first saw La Xia. Even Reiya and Niya, who were behind her, reacted in the same way.

Only then did Sophie remember the incident that happened in the capital of Mithra Kingdom ten years ago. She then understood why Ai Yi was so unhappy.

She wanted to apologize, but she could not do so.

That was because this matter couldn't be brought up in public in the first place.

This was most likely the reason why Ai Yi stood out.

So if Sophie were to apologize now, it would be no doubt that she would have to bring it up again.

This was obviously not what Ai Yi and Rosie wanted to see.

So...

"I'm sorry, everyone. I was rude."

Sophie calmed herself down and returned to her normal self. She nodded at Shien and the others.

"I am the queen of the elves, Sophie. Please forgive me for my negligence and carelessness for not being able to welcome you in time."

Please forgive me for not being able to come in time to welcome you. "

Sophie bowed and apologized to Shien and the others.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Rosie also bowed to Sophie and said in a cold and pleasant voice, "I am Rosie Lusti Mithra."

"So that's how it is. Are you the most valuable treasure of the kingdom?" Sophie suddenly understood and said with a smile, "This is the first time we've met, right?"

Rosie was not overwhelmed by the Elf Queen's aura. Instead, she said calmly, "The elves are far away from the mortal world. Even my father has never seen you. It is my honor to meet you today." Rosie was not overwhelmed by the Sidhe Queen's aura. Instead, she replied calmly, "The Sidhe are far away from the secular world. Even my father has never seen you before. It's my honor to be able to meet you today."

"Thank you for your courtesy, Your Highness Rosie." "Thank you for your politeness, Your Highness Rosie," Sophie said gently and amiably, "Although the elves are far away from the mortal world and I have not left the elven homeland for a long time, the name of the kingdom's treasure is well-known even among the elves. I was fortunate enough to be comrades with Your Highness' ancestor, Hero Mithra. Since you are the descendant of an old friend, there is no need to be too polite. Please treat this place as your home."

Before Rosie could respond, Ai Yi, who was standing at the side, started to undermine her.

"Old friend?" Ai Yi seemed to have finally found an opportunity. She snorted and said, "Hasn't that idiot Mithra been pursuing you? You still treat him as an old friend? "

Shocking secrets were exposed from Ai Yi's mouth.

"Cough...!"

Rosie choked in shock.

"Pursue?"

Sean was also startled. He had completely forgotten what had happened just now, and his face was full of astonishment.

Even Merica and the Elven Mages of the Elven Division widened their eyes in shock. Clearly, they didn't expect to hear such an explosive topic.

"What? Don't you know? " Ai Yi did not seem to have any intention of letting Sophie off. She seemed to still be brooding over what just happened. She said calmly, "What's so surprising? Throughout history, heroes have always been passionate. None of them were faithful to one person. Isn't it normal for Mithra, that hypocritical brat, to want to pursue the Elven Queen who is famous for her beauty? "

When she said this, Ai Yi glanced at Sean for some reason.

“？？？？”

Shien felt offended.

Was she scolding him indirectly?

Could she be any more obvious?

What was even more outrageous was that, apart from Ai Yi, the rest of them also subtly glanced at him when they heard the phrase 'the heroes of the past are all sentimental'.

Shien almost flipped the table.

Why are you suddenly targeting me?

Digging up your ancestral graves?

F * ck!

On the other hand, Sophie's expression did not change at all.

"Your Highness Ai Yi really likes to joke," Sophie said casually. "The pursuit of beauty is a human instinct. Mithral may be a Hero, but he's still a human. It's inevitable that he would do some impulsive things when he was young. In the end, didn't he meet the right person, settle down, and leave behind such an outstanding descendant?" Sophie said nonchalantly.

In other words, he had reduced the Hero who had once pursued him to a young man who was still wet behind the ears.

It sounded like she was protecting the hero's reputation, but if Hero Mithra was still alive and heard that the goddess he once pursued treated him as an impulsive young man, he would definitely be devastated, right?

"Speaking of which, you seemed to be the same back then, mercilessly rejecting his pursuit." Ai Yi said with a faint smile, "I heard that because he suffered a setback and was seriously injured by the power of the Demon King, his injuries could not be healed, and his body was left with hidden injuries. That was why he became disheartened and ran off to build a country. In the end, he even married the maid beside him and stopped indulging in debauchery."

As she said that, Ai Yi glanced at Shien again, causing Shien's mouth to twitch.

Sophie still had the same expression.

"Personally, I think this is a good thing."

Since Sophie said that, it seemed that she really did not have any feelings for Hero Mithra.

Shien could only silently mourn for this senior in his heart.

"Hmph!"

Ai Yi stopped looking for trouble with Sophie, snorted coldly again, and turned her head away.

Rosie also did not say anything.

It was not that she did not have anything to say, but to suddenly have such a big melon, and the other party was the ancestor that her family was proud of. Her feelings were so complicated that it was hard for outsiders to imagine.

Especially when she heard that Ancestor Mithra ran off to build a country after being rejected by the Elf Queen, and that he married the maid beside him and stopped indulging in debauchery, Rosie felt even worse.

Hmm, I can't help but feel that the great image of my ancestor is crumbling.

On the other side, Sophie began to turn her gaze to Shien.

"You are Count Shien Porzstuart, right?"

Sophie stared at Shien, her eyes seemingly flashing with some kind of emotion.

"Hello, Your Highness."

When Sean saw that the other party's attention was on him, he could not help but touch his nose with a lukewarm look.

It was not that he was putting on airs, but the situation just now told Shien that at this time, it was best to pay attention to his image, or else he might be buried for a thousand years like that senior.

That would be too tragic.

"Welcome to the elven homeland." Sophie did not feel that there was anything wrong with Shien's attitude, and only said, "You are the second male of a different race to visit the elven homeland after Hero Mithra, so I am very sorry that we seem to have offended you. Please do not take it to heart."

What she meant was that the elves rarely entertained the opposite sex, and if there was anything inconsiderate, there was nothing that could be done about it.

This made Shien realize that the Elf Queen had some tricks up her sleeve. She actually managed to change the nature of the situation with just a few words, as if she was able to silently turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing.

"Then can I go in now?"

Shien's tone was somewhat emotional.

"Of course." Sophie's expression did not change. "Since you have received the acknowledgement of our people during the peace offering and have received a proper invitation, you may enter the elven homeland and participate in the peace offering."

Sophie's words made Caroline, who was standing at the side, speak up.

"But Your Highness, his body..."

Caroline wanted to explain the condition of Shien's body.

However, it was not as if Sophie did not notice that something was amiss.

"Boztute is a human hero who is protected by the Demons and the Protoss. He has powerful magic and outstanding strength, so it is not surprising that he has some special traits." Sophie shook her head at Caroline, and said, "He is not an intruder, nor is he someone with ill intentions. Instead, he is a guest invited by our people, but we have chased him away for our own reasons. Not only is this not in line with etiquette, but it is also a form of offense."

"At the moment of the Peace Sacrifice, what we need to promote to the outside world is peace and the concept of unity. We shouldn't exclude others because of some imaginary worries."

"Moreover, this person has received the acknowledgement of our people. Chasing him away like this will be a very painful thing for the child who has acknowledged him, Caroline."

Hearing this, Caroline was slightly startled, and looked in Merica's direction.
