That's right, this city was too extravagant.
This city was not big. In fact, it could even be said to be very small. In terms of area, it was only about a quarter of Meteor Trail City. The layout of the city was not much different from a human city. The Elves walked back and forth in the city, working and living like humans. In the center of the city, there was the most extravagant building in the city — the palace.
That's right, the extravagance of the entire city lay in the palace. The outer city was ordinary, but the palace was extremely luxurious. The palace took up half of the city's area. There were high walls, fake mountains, streams, treasures, courtyards, and gardens. There were also countless Elven women working as maids. This made Lu An frown more and more.
How … how could this appear in the Elven Tribe?
Although the Elves had chiefs and elders, all of this was to make it easier for them to manage the tribe and lead the tribe to a better future. In essence, the Elves did not have any social hierarchy. However, with such a clear hierarchy, how could the Elves become like this?
Lu An frowned. His perception quickly enveloped the city below. From the city, he could only sense four auras equivalent to that of a Level Seven Heavenly Master. There was no stronger power. Of course, it was also possible that a stronger power was hidden and Lu An could not sense it.
However, Sengoku and the Elves had always been on good terms. Lu An was not too worried that the Elves would attack him. He quickly dove down toward the city below and soon arrived above the palace in the center.
He did not hide his aura and directly released immortal energy to surround him. Sure enough, three figures immediately flew out from different parts of the palace. Then, the strongest aura flew out from the center of the palace and arrived in front of the three of them. They all looked at Lu An.
Without a doubt, these people recognized immortal energy.
When the leader saw Lu An, he was stunned at first. Then, he laughed and cupped his hands. He said loudly to Lu An, "So it's a distinguished guest from Sengoku. Please come in!"
Lu An was even more confused when he heard the other party speak so loudly. The Elves were a quiet race and would not speak so loudly. However, the four people in front of him were indeed Elves. There was no mistake. What was going on?
However, Lu An still cupped his hands and said politely, "I'm Lu An. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
"What's there to disturb?" The leader of the group was the owner of the city, who was also the leader of the Elf Clan. He said loudly, "Our clan lives in a remote corner and lives a monotonous life every day. There is no way for us to contact the outside world. Now that the people from Sengoku have come to visit, we can't be happier. Follow me into the palace! "
Lu An nodded and followed the four elves into the palace. What Lu An didn't expect was that there really was a special palace in the palace to receive VIPs. This palace was extremely luxurious, and there were countless rare treasures placed inside. Even the furniture was made from precious ores, and the wine was brewed from rare materials. Such extravagance could be said to be the most luxurious palace Lu An had ever seen.
"Young Hero Lu, please have a taste of our wine and try it!" The patriarch sat at the head of the table and said to Lu An with a smile.
Lu An couldn't refuse, so he picked up the wine cup and took a sip. The wine tasted sweet, but it was not astringent at all. It was very smooth. When the wine entered their stomachs, they felt as if their entire body had been cleansed. They could not help but want to drink more.
"Good wine," Lu An said honestly.
The patriarch laughed and said with satisfaction, "This wine is brewed from the best Celestial Bestowment Flower. This cup requires one Celestial Bestowment Flower. It is the most delicious wine in the world!"
Celestial Bestowment Flower?!
Lu An's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the wine cup in his hand with a serious expression. No wonder he felt that the taste was so familiar, but he couldn't remember its name. It was the Celestial Bestowment Flower!
Lu An had refined so many elixirs, so he was very familiar with Heaven and Earth treasures. The Celestial Bestowment Flower was a seventh-grade material, and it was an extremely rare and precious seventh-grade material. It was necessary for many seventh-grade elixirs. Even many eighth-grade elixirs required the Celestial Bestowment Flower, and it was extremely expensive!
One cup of wine for one Celestial Bestowment Flower, was this elf crazy? If he had so many Celestial Bestowment Flowers, why didn't he take them out to trade? This way, he could completely improve the lives of the entire clan!
"Come! Serve the dishes! "The patriarch shouted loudly, causing Lu An's body to shake again, and he came back to his senses.
Lu An looked at the door, and soon saw a group of maids walking in from the palace door in an orderly manner. Each of the maids held a tray in their hands, and there were delicacies on it. These maids knelt down respectfully, and placed the delicacies on everyone's table. After bowing to the person in front of them and the patriarch, they retreated from the palace.
After seeing all this, Lu An's brows furrowed even more. He had vaguely understood something.
Under the patriarch's words, Lu An ate two mouthfuls out of politeness. The ingredients of each delicacy in front of him were all Heaven and Earth treasures, and they were all extremely precious. Although they were very delicious, it was a waste to use them to cook. They could be used to refine very rare and precious elixirs!
Lu An only ate two mouthfuls before he put down his chopsticks, turned to the patriarch, and said, "I heard that the Elf Clan lives in the forest. Why do you want to build a palace?"
When the four Elves heard this, they were stunned. The Patriarch put down his chopsticks, laughed, and said, "The Elf Clan originally loved nature and peace, but it was because of this that the Elf Clan ended up in this state! I'm not afraid of Young Hero Lu laughing at me, but I was once captured by humans as a slave, so I learned a lot of human knowledge. Later, I figured out why the Elf Clan was declining. The reason was very simple, no one cared! "
"The entire Elf Clan is too lax, and everyone is too happy and complacent. There is no competitiveness at all. Once we are invaded by others, we can only be beaten! So, if you want to be strong, the first thing you have to build is a hierarchy! "The patriarch said loudly.
Lu An's eyes were slightly cold, and he did not speak.
"Only with hierarchy can there be management! If I am strong, I will be the patriarch! " The patriarch said loudly, "I learned the experience of humans and trained my clan. Soon, my clan became very strong, and then I kept swallowing other clans to get to this point! It can be said that other than the top few clans, my clan is not afraid of anyone! "
"You see!" The patriarch waved his hand and shouted, "Under my management, all of my clansmen live in an orderly manner! Hierarchy is the best way to manage! Every level of management, every one of them will do what they should do according to the rules. Only in this way can we lead the Elf Clan to a better path! "
"Then why is the palace so luxurious?" Lu An did not hide anything and asked directly.
The four elves were stunned. The patriarch laughed again and said, "As the patriarch, I lead so many elves. Of course, I am qualified to enjoy the best life! I am the one who gave them life, I am the one who gave them life. They should be loyal to me, and all of them are my slaves! "
"…"
Lu An frowned, and his eyes were filled with coldness. He really did not expect that there would be someone in the Elf Clan who would be so deeply poisoned by the dregs of humans. Moreover, they believed that they were right. Looking at the smug look on the patriarch's face, Lu An knew that he could not convince the other party.
Lu An's purpose was clear, and he did not want to complicate matters. After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he said in a deep voice, "To be honest, I am here for something."
"Oh?" The patriarch smiled and said, "Young hero Lu, please say it!"
"About four years ago, I had a friendship with an elf, and Sengoku sent her to live with the clan in this mountain forest." Lu An said in a deep voice, "I have something to ask her, and I want to take her away."
"There is such a thing?" The patriarch was stunned. He did not expect the clan in this mountain to have a connection with Sengoku. He said, "Since Sengoku wants her, I am not a stingy person. I will give her to you directly! Young hero Lu, please say it. What is your friend's name? "
"Xiao Rou." Lu An said.
When he said this, the four patriarchs were stunned, and their faces changed.
Lu An's observation was very sharp. Seeing this, he immediately asked, "What happened to Xiao Rou?"
The smile on the patriarch's face disappeared, and he frowned. He looked at Lu An and said, "Young hero Lu, you don't have to worry. She is still alive. However, I have some grievances with her, and it is not convenient to hand her over to you. Why don't young hero Lu change to another person? I have many beautiful elves, not just Xiao Rou! "
Lu An was shocked. His eyes were cold, and he said seriously, "I only want Xiao Rou!"
