In order to escape from Elder Sharon's gentle and infuriating education, Grandia had steeled her heart to escape. How could she return so easily?
She said nonchalantly, "I'm going to the Emerald Corolla too. We're just going the same way."
"I see. Brian, let's go."
Tang En smiled and didn't mind.
With yesterday's speed, it would take another seven or eight days to reach the Emerald Corolla. So, they had to hurry.
Twain and the conflicted Brian flew into the sky and flew toward the southwest. Seeing this, Grandia let out a low groan and gathered her magic power around her. The Flight spell was released in the blink of an eye, and she leaped and caught up with Twain and the others.
"Eh? You know the Flight spell? "
Tang En was stunned for a moment. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh under Grandia's mocking gaze.
"Are you insulting us?"
Grandia said with disdain. "Which adult elf doesn't know the Flight spell?"
Just as she had said, the legendary dual cultivation of magic and martial arts was as simple as eating and drinking for the elves. The occupation division of the elves was not the same as that of the humans. They did not have pure warrior, mage, or ranger classes. The so-called occupation titles were more like titles among the elves.
The elves were the true daughters of the Goddess. Their long lifespan allowed each of them to have plenty of time to learn. However, the saying that the elves had amazing talent wasn't true. Even the most ordinary talent couldn't withstand a long period of steady learning.
Among the humans, a warrior with average talent might not even be able to break through to the Gold rank at the age of 60. He would be like that for the rest of his life. After 60, the physical strength of a human would begin to decline rapidly. It was almost impossible to have any more breakthroughs.
However, elves with average talent would start cultivating at the age of 20 and enter the Bronze rank at the age of 40. They would break through to the Dark Iron rank at the age of 60, enter the Silver rank at the age of 80, and enter the Gold rank at the age of 100.
It could be seen that the average talent of the elves was actually weaker than that of the humans.
But just as mentioned, the average talent couldn't withstand their long lifespan!
When a human was sixty years old, about two thirds of their life would have passed, but an elf was still considered a minor at sixty years old.
Furthermore, the Elves had an advantage that could not be ignored, and that was the fact that they all practiced both magic and martial arts. Their magic power had always been improving at the same time, which also led to their strong combat ability. There were many variables in a battle, and the combat power of a Gold-ranked Elf and a human warrior was not on the same level — of course, combat experience was an exception …
The Gold rank was the peak of the Heaven's Bearers, and even the Elves were no exception. This was because the next realm, the Grandmaster rank, required one to awaken a Domain. Awakening a Domain didn't rely on talent, but on comprehension. In this regard, all races had the same starting line.
Once you awakened your domain, you would step into the Grandmaster level. If you didn't awaken your domain, you would always be at the Gold level.
This was the case for Grandia. Although she was still an elven girl, she was already 120 years old. In human society, she would be considered a great-grandmother.
No matter how weird she was, she was still a Gold-tier master. To be honest, if they were to really fight, Brian who was a Silver-tier Rank-9 with his precious hammer might not even be able to defeat her …
Saying such words in front of a race where almost every adult was a Gold-tier master was a mockery.
"Oh, since you're so powerful, why were you besieged by those guys?"
Grandia immediately became angry. "Don't you know that I fell into a trap and got injured?!"
"But … Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."
"Hmph!"
The group stopped talking and quickly flew towards the Emerald Corolla. This time, even Brian was ruthless. He tied himself up with a rope and closed his eyes, allowing Tang En to drag him along. Rather than suffer for a few days, he might as well grit his teeth and rush to the destination as quickly as possible. Then, he would be able to step on solid ground.
Without Brian holding them back, their speed was indeed much faster. In the evening, they saw a tall mountain that reached the sky. No, it wasn't a mountain at all. It was a tree that was even bigger than a mountain! The huge towering tree covered the sky, and the forest beside it was too small. It was like a lawn on the ground.
"According to records, this forest was called the Forest of Doubts before the first Chaos invasion. A huge secret realm was maintained here to prevent the threat of humans. At that time, the Elves even had teleportation technology."
"That's right!"
Grandia's face was full of pride.
Brian resisted the urge to vomit and muttered, "Unfortunately, after the first Chaos invasion, the teleportation couldn't bear the burden and completely collapsed. Now, I guess only you know how to use it. Big brother, I don't want to nag you, but when are we going to rest? I, I'm really fast — Ugh!!! "
"Hold on a little longer. We'll be there soon."
Since the destination was already in sight, of course, they had to work harder. Tang En and the others sped up again. After dozens of minutes, they finally entered the Emerald Corolla.
"This is the Emerald Corolla?"
What appeared in front of him was a city that was integrated with the World Tree. On the lush branches of the tree, there were countless wooden houses that grew directly on top. The green leaves were directly the roofs. The doors and windows seemed to have been deliberately bypassed to leave gaps. The walls formed by the trees were naturally formed with many beautiful patterns. The wonderful combination of nature and beauty was simply breathtaking.
The upper part of the branches formed a smooth path, and the elves walked on it. The World Tree provided a super huge platform for the elves, and even though there were tens of thousands of elves living on it, it still looked spacious and huge.
The city formed by the wooden houses had the World Tree as the foundation. Although the lush World Tree blocked the rays of the sun, there was still no sense of darkness. Through the gaps of the branches and leaves at the top of the city, specks of golden light constantly drifted down, providing illumination for the entire city.
Within the range of their vision, there were no children or old Elves. All of them were young, beautiful, and full of vitality. They had smiles on their faces, sitting or lying down, leisurely enjoying life. Cheerful music could be heard everywhere. There were harps, flutes, and accordions …
Tang En widened his eyes. This was the Elven King's Emerald Corolla, which was also the Romance City in the game.
Noticing Tang En's shocked expression, Grandia was proud. "How is it? Are you surprised? Are you shocked? Hehe, you humans will never understand such a miraculous symbiotic city! "
Tang En could not refute her. Humans who obtained resources through plundering and modification were indeed unable to understand a city that was completely symbiotic with nature.
A few Elven patrols came to welcome them. But as soon as they got close, the Elven patrols were stunned.
"Elves? Dwarves? Humans? And — Fairies!? "
This combination was so special that even they were dumbfounded.
So many years had passed. Apart from the great adventure period after the Chaos invasion, how long had it been since they last saw such a combination?
"I'm Grandia of Salamar. This is my Fairy friend Nola. This is my Dwarf friend Bryan. And this is …"
Grandia snorted and reluctantly introduced, "Human, Tang En."
"Greetings, my dear Nola. Lord Bryan."
The Elven patrols relaxed their vigilance and smiled at Nola. In their eyes, Nola was obviously the most trustworthy companion. Then there was Bryan. The Elves had good memories. They knew Bryan.
As for Tang En … Hehe, he could only be regarded as a pendant.
"I'm working for Big Brother now."
Bryan did not forget to give face to Tang En. "By the way, can we go down and talk?"
His face had turned purple.
The World Tree had a close connection with the Goddess of the Earth, Nisclaire, and contained a very powerful aura of the Goddess. So, as a citizen of the Goddess, Bryan was instantly revived after landing.
Bryan muttered, "I almost thought I was going to die in the sky. I swear in the name of my beard, this is definitely the most painful way for a Dwarf to die!"
Tang En stepped forward and bowed. Then he said, "Hello, my friends. I'm the Lord of Ellington, Tang En. I've come to have an audience with Her Majesty the Queen. At the same time … I'm also Aiguin's friend."
Tang En noticed the Elves' attitude towards him, so he had to use his trump card again. He took out Aiguin's green leaf hair ornament.
When they saw the hair ornament, the expressions of the Elven patrols changed instantly. They were very surprised, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"It's really Aiguin's hair ornament …"
"When she came back a while ago, everyone noticed that her hair ornament was missing. She said that she gave it to a good friend …"
"Good friend? Why did she give it to a human? "
"I'm so envious …"
An Elven patrol looked at the green leaf hair ornament with tears in his eyes. "I want it, I want it, I want it!"
The Elven patrols did not care that Tang En was next to them. They surrounded him and discussed in front of him. Their envious eyes drifted to the green leaf hair ornament in Tang En's hand from time to time.
Tang En froze.
Could it be that Aiguin's fanatical fans in the Elven Race were more than he had imagined?
She subconsciously glanced at Grandia, but the lass was no longer jealous. Clearly, she understood that the most dangerous one was not her sisters, but this seemingly harmless but actually extremely dangerous human!
Tang En asked, "Can you help me contact Aiguin? Just say that Tang En has come to look for her. "
The Elven patrols looked at each other and then shook their heads in unison.
"Sorry."
"I can't help you contact Lady Aiguin."
"She's not in Emerald Corolla right now."
Tang En froze. "Where did she go?"
"We don't know."
"If you want to know, I'm afraid you'll have to ask Her Majesty the Queen."
Tang En was helpless. He glanced at Brian and simply said, "Then please lead the way. We'll go see Her Majesty the Queen."
