Chapter 833

Sean's former acquaintances were naturally not limited to the clergy of the Ragnar Empire and the orcs, who were aiming for the capital.

Far to the east of the kingdom, in the Tagore Forest, in the elven homeland, Elf Queen Sophie had already come out of her queen's palace. She held her scepter and stood in front of a group of elves.

"Queen!"

Reiya and Niya, the two legendary elven mages, immediately bowed.

"Queen!"

The elven mages in the elven legion, which the elves were proud of, also bowed their heads one by one.

Sophie nodded as she watched.

These people in front of her were the pride of the elves, the pillars of the elves. Sophie looked at the familiar faces, and the pride in her heart could not be expressed to outsiders.

Sophie did not show the pride in her heart. She looked around at everyone present and spoke softly.

"This time, we elves must also participate in the Tri-Race Conference as one of the representatives of the human race to discuss important matters with the Protoss, Demons, and other human races.

"As the elites of the elven race, you will accompany me to the Mithra Kingdom's capital.

"That is a country established by a hero who once saved the world. The hero we know is also from that country. He has long since returned and has encountered many things in the capital."

"The Hero Shien is a friend recognized by us elves. This Tri-Race Conference was initiated because of his identity, so he will definitely become the focus of this Tri-Race Conference. He will also be placed on the negotiation table by the three races to determine their attitude toward him in the future.

"This matter is of great importance. Not only is it closely related to the peace between the three races, but it is also deeply involved with the safety of our friends. Therefore, we have two goals for this trip.

"First, we will do our best to maintain peace. We cannot let the war that was once filled with pain happen again.

"Second, we will do our best to protect our friends and become the strength of the Hero Shien."

As she spoke, Sophie's voice began to become serious.

"Tell me, can you do it?"

Hearing this, the group of elven mages did not hesitate at all.

"Yes!"

Their neat and tidy voices resounded throughout the elven homeland, causing the other elves in the elven homeland to turn their heads and look at them with yearning and longing in their eyes.

"Very good."

Sophie nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, let us go."

Sophie raised her scepter high.

In the next second, a green halo flickered and enveloped all the elven mages present.

Among them were two figures that Shien would definitely recognize if he were here.

"Hero …"

The elven girl with shoulder-length hair and a small cane in her hand mumbled, her eyes appearing to be in a trance.

Beside her, another elf woman saw that she was distracted and patted her on the shoulder.

"Genom?" Genom asked.

Hearing her voice, Genom snapped out of his daze and looked at the elf lady beside him.

Genom called out softly.

Genom called out softly.

Caroline's sharp eyes saw through Genom's thoughts.

Genom instinctively shook his head, but after a moment of thought, he nodded.

"Even now, I still can't believe that he's a Hero."

"I know what you're feeling." Caroline's hand paused. Then, she said with mixed feelings, "I didn't expect that alien male who was almost rejected by us to be a hero."

"But maybe I understand now." Genom tightened his grip on his scepter and said softly, "I understand why Merica likes that man so much."

Since he was a hero, it was no wonder that even a pure elf would be attracted to him.

Wasn't it only natural that Merica would fall in love with him?

That was what Genom thought.

However, Caroline shook her head.

"You've misunderstood, Genom."

Caroline denied Genom's words.

"Huh?"

Jenom was startled and glanced at Caroline in astonishment.

Meeting Genom's gaze, Caroline spoke.

"Merica doesn't like him because he's a hero, but because the person she likes is a hero."

Her words made Genom speechless.

Although they had only switched the order, Caroline's explanation made Merica's reason for falling in love with Shien completely different.

"Although we've never come into contact with love, we understand ourselves very well. We understand the existence known as the elves," Caroline said meaningfully. "Do you think we'll only love heroes?"

Of course not.

The love of elves was very pure. It would not be mixed with factors such as identity, status, or power.

Even if one was a Hero, if he couldn't obtain the Elf's recognition, then he wouldn't be able to obtain her love.

Mithra the Brave was a living example. Everyone knew that he had pursued the Elf Queen Sophie, but he was rejected by Sophie. Otherwise, this piece of history would have become a story that would have been spread far and wide.

But wasn't Mithra a hero?

Wasn't he great?

On the contrary, he was a very great person, so great that even the God Race had to respect him.

He had saved the world and defeated the Demon King. These achievements were destined to be passed down forever.

But such a great person still did not win the love of the Elf Queen.

So …

"It must be the same for Merica. She didn't fall in love with him because he was a hero, but because Shien Bottut has something that truly attracts her, something that makes her love him."

Caroline's voice reached Genom's ears.

"It's indeed something that attracted Merica …"

Genom pursed his lips and sank into silence.

"Alright, don't think too much." Caroline interrupted Jenom's thoughts. "Melica and the hero's matters will naturally be left to their own devices. Let's focus on the meeting between the three races."

"Yes." Jenom adjusted his state of mind and then asked, "Merica will also be present at the Trilateral Conference this time, right?"

"Yes." Caroline nodded and said with a rare smile, "She is already a well-wisher of the Goddess of Nature. She will definitely accompany Goddess Nadura to the meeting and appear in the capital of the Mithra Kingdom."

Hearing this, Genom's eyes lit up with a hint of anticipation.

He was looking forward to seeing his childhood friend, his inseparable playmate.

Even if she had already abandoned him and become stronger, it would still be the same.

Just like that, the emerald halo carried the elites of the elven race and flew towards the horizon under the gaze of all the elves in the elven homeland.

Their destination was the Mithra Kingdom.

… …

Royal capital, Bottut's residence.

Today, no one came to visit.

The black dragon lying on the plaza was like a huge fortress, emitting a frightening pressure that made countless people not want to go near this area.

Even the people from Bottut's residence would sometimes go in and out of fear, as if they were afraid of waking up the sleeping dragon. Every time they passed the square, they would subconsciously lower their voices.

Thanks to this, even though Shien had already been promoted to a marquis and became a great noble in the Mithra Kingdom, and his status was not lower than that of a duke. In fact, it was much higher than that of a duke. However, not a single person dared to visit Bottut's residence to congratulate Shien on his promotion.

Of course, even though they did not come, the gifts were well-prepared.

Over the past few days, gifts from various factions and nobles were continuously sent to Bottut's residence.

Along with the gifts, letters were also sent to Bottut's residence.

The nobles and faction leaders could not visit, but they did not dare to neglect this matter. They prepared congratulatory and complimentary letters and sent them to Bottut's residence.

Of course, Shien would not deal with these letters.

Hence …

"I hate you! Shien Bottut! "

Lily, who was in a luxurious office on the top floor of the main residence, yelled crazily as she opened a mountain of letters.

"Don't mess it up, Lily."

Vivian, who was at the side, quickly reminded her when she saw Lily messing up the letters.

Not only did she have to read these letters, but she also had to reply to them one by one. If she messed them up too much, problems would inevitably arise.

Lily naturally understood.

But she was really on the verge of breaking down.

"There are so many of them, and I have to reply to them one by one. How long do I have to go back?" Lily resisted the urge to burn the letters and shouted, "Since we have already shed all pretense of cordiality and no one is allowed to visit, why don't we just throw these letters away?"

"I understand how you feel," Vivian said helplessly. "But he can do this, but we can't. You don't understand, do you?"

Indeed, Sean could let go of himself and not pretend to be courteous to everyone, but Lily, Vivian, and the rest couldn't.

There was no other reason other than that the king had sent someone to persuade them.

"The relationship between the nobles must be maintained. Not only for the sake of each other's reputation, but also for the balance of power in the kingdom," Vivian said. Vivian said, "If we let the nobles treat the Porztut Family with hatred and hostility, they wouldn't dare to do anything now that Sean, Princess Rosie, and the others are around. But what if they're gone in the future?"

The Bottut family had risen rapidly, and because the family head was Shien, they were bound to be an existence that stood above everyone else in the kingdom.

If such a large family offended too many people now, the successor of the family would definitely face all sorts of difficulties and even disasters in the future.

From the perspective of the king, Anxi naturally did not want to see the Bottut family, which had a special status in the kingdom, become the public enemy. They would be targeted by the nobles and even kill each other.

If that happened, it would be a disaster for the kingdom.

Thus, Anxi deliberately sent an official over to give him instructions.

Naturally, this instruction was not directed at Shien.

Anxi knew that Shien did not like such complicated matters, so it was unknown whether he would listen to him.

Thus, he entrusted these matters to Lily and let her handle them.

It could be said that Lily was currently cleaning up the mess for Shien, who was a hands-off boss.

This was also the reason why she broke down.

"This … this is too much!"

Lily wailed.

"It can't be helped. It's not just the nobles of the kingdom. The kings, emperors, nobles, heads, and leaders of the other human factions have also sent greetings and congratulatory letters." Vivian smiled bitterly, but also consoled her. "Actually, this is not entirely a bad thing. At least through this channel, you will be able to contact the upper echelons of the various human factions. Even if you are now the representative of the Bottut family, when you inherit the Lazahad family in the future, you can still use this opportunity to build connections with these big shots."

This was definitely a great thing for a noble.

"With the support of so many human factions, the Lazahad family might be able to reach the same heights as the Bottut family in the future," Vivian encouraged. "Do your best, Lily. You must believe in yourself. You are the best."

Hearing this, Lily's expression softened a little.

"Alright."

Lily reluctantly accepted her fate.

At this moment, the door to the office opened.

"President Lily! There's an additional part here …! "

Lumia walked in.

In his arms, he was hugging Xin Shan, which was piled up like a pillar, almost reaching the ceiling.

"Bam!"

Lily's head hit the table heavily. After twitching a few times, she stopped moving.

"Lily!"

Vivian's exclamation echoed throughout the office.

…

At this moment, Shien still did not know that his family's representative was about to be killed by him.

He was in the garden behind the main residence, exchanging blows with Tierre.

"Haaaaaaah …!"

Tierre's entire body was surging with magical power. The horn on her forehead trembled continuously, absorbing the magical power in the atmosphere like a black hole. The magical power swirled into Tierre's body like a whirlpool, turning into Tierre's power. Tierre roared loudly.

Just like that, Tierre charged at Shien like a demon. Her hands were like claws, bringing with them rays of light as she attacked Shien with immense power.

"She increased her power again?"

Standing opposite Tierre, Shien did not draw his sword. As he watched Tierre charge at him like a demon, a solemn expression appeared in his eyes.

He could feel that after half an hour of continuous improvement, Tierre's attacks could now penetrate his [Rito's Mandate] and cause some damage to him.

"In that case …"

Clenching his fists, Shien met Tierre's attack head-on.

"Bam!"

Claws and fists collided, causing the atmosphere to tremble and sending out shockwaves.

"Haaaaaaah …!"

Tierre roared relentlessly as she charged at Shien. Her claws brought with them streaks of cold, sharp light as she attacked Shien.

Naturally, Shien met her attack with his own fists and continued to counter it.

"Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!" …

Instantly, Shien and Tierre's figures intertwined and collided continuously. Muffled sounds of collisions rose and fell, creating shockwaves that formed two storms in the garden.

As the two fought fiercely, the eyes of the Enchantress, who was leisurely sipping tea in the pavilion, flickered.

"This little girl actually has the same type of power as Mi Lu?"

Chafne looked at Tierre, who had turned into a ghost. She stared at her horn, her heart pounding.
