Inside the tent, the confrontation between the two sides was still going on. Fugenan was sitting on a stool and enjoying his breakfast. Today's breakfast was toast, sausages, a few small tomatoes, peanut butter, half a fried egg (dinosaur egg), and a cup of steaming hot coffee.
The starving Wood Elf Karolina was tied up with many ropes in front of Fu Gen. She smelled the aroma of food and inwardly cursed the human before her. After announcing her name, she didn't say anything else. She only glared fiercely at Fu Gen who was enjoying his breakfast with her emerald eyes.
Fugen ate his breakfast while looking at Carolina in front of him as if he was looking at a work of art. He used the silver knife and fork to eat skillfully. Every movement was like a real art. Carolina was very angry at first, but when she saw how Fugen ate, she had to admit that even Azur and Aisley's relatives couldn't be as elegant as the human in front of her when eating.
"Aralus, Aralus the Brave is your father?" Fugen played with the knife and fork and asked casually. The king's son geno prototype had fallen in love with the original food here since he came to this world, especially the food cooked by the halfling.
"…" Carolina didn't answer. She was still glaring at the shameless human.
"I know Aralus. He is the hero of the wood elves. He defeated Morgul in the battle of Arden Forest, and he appeared in the second battle of La Mesenelle Abbey and the battle of Muxilon." Fugen cut a corner of the fried egg. The dinosaur egg was very fishy, but the halfling Hubby could cook it very refreshing and delicious.
"Hmph!" Hearing Fugen talk about her father, Carolina raised her head proudly.
"I also know Laing, Laing Macado, Duke of Muxilon, your neighbor of Aisley, the crown prince of Brittany, and your only trading partner," Fugen continued. He picked up the coffee, stirred it with a small silver spoon, and took a sip. "Do you know him?"
"Hmph!" This time, the snort was long and slow.
"It's my honor to introduce myself. My name is Fugen, the commander of the Ashes Army, and Laing Macado's brother." Fugen put down the coffee cup and picked up the sausage with a fork. "Your father and my brother have fought side by side more than once."
"Hmph?" Carolina looked up at Fugen in disbelief. She still refused to speak, but the expression on her face had changed from anger to doubt.
She knew Laing. Aralus had fought side by side with Laing a few times. It was not news in the Woodland Council, but what did this have to do with this human in front of her?
Carolina thought for a while. She was really not sure if this silver-haired human in front of her was a relative of Aisley's only trading partner. After being tied up for a night and under the effect of the chameleon anesthetic, Carolina only felt tired and hungry. But to the wood elves, their physical fitness was still far superior to that of humans. After a brief moment of doubt, she regained her anger and continued to glare at Fugen. Other than the sound of breathing and the disdainful snort, there was no other reaction. In the end, she simply closed her eyes.
The elves were like this. In ancient times, the elves were synonymous with kindness and civilization. But for thousands of years, the wind of chaos blew on the mortal world, making the high elves stubborn, the dark elves indulge in sex, and the wood elves become autistic. The only thing that did not change was their arrogance. While Fugen was enjoying his breakfast, he looked at the wood elf in front of him and felt a little embarrassed. He knew about the existence of Aralus from Laing, and also knew that Aralus was the champion chosen by the Wood Elf Queen, Aleil. He had heard the movements last night.
So now what should he do with this female elf? The expression on Fugen's face was happy, but in his heart, he felt a little embarrassed.
Since she was the daughter of Aralus, it was not easy to kill her. The geno prototype of the king's son was not a brute like Angelo. He would first chop her with an axe, then ask questions.
It was also impossible to let her go. Not to mention that doing so was likely to leave behind trouble in the future, Fugen could not accept a Lost Traveler hiding in the forest and trying to retaliate against his army.
After thinking about it, Fugen also finished his breakfast. He changed his expression and became amiable. "Since your father is Aralus, and your mother is the Lord of Windrih, then you are also a princess of the wood elves, right? Because of the friendship between my brother Laing and the wood elves, I will not hand you over to those outside for the time being. "
"Hmph." Karolina proudly raised her neck and looked relieved. She looked at Forgan with contempt, as if this was how he should be. She was indeed the genuine Wood Elven Princess. As the Lord of Tarsyn's Woodland, Aralos' daughter was naturally the real Wood Elven Princess.
"But what I want to say is that I am carrying out a very important mission. Before this mission is completed, I need you to follow us. You can't leave. What do you think?" Fugen put forward his conditions.
This group of people was ready to enter Itaza! Carolina rolled her eyes. She thought that as long as she could enter Itaza, it would be fine. Since there was an opportunity, she would seize it.
The female elf thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible. She nodded decisively and agreed. "Hurry up and untie me. I promise you, and I can also forgive you and your subordinates' rudeness for the time being."
"Happy cooperation. Men." Fu Gen found it funny. He shouted towards the outside, "Come in and untie Princess Karona of the Wood Elves. Prepare the same breakfast for her!"
"Yes!" Two Great Swordsmen came in with wretched smiles on their faces. They untied Carolina in a few moments. The wood elf princess glared at them unhappily. "Give me back my bow, dagger, and quiver!"
"This …" The two Great Swordsmen looked at Fugen with some embarrassment.
"We definitely can't give you the weapons … Princess Carolina, please 'deign' to follow us. I hope you know how bad the environment here is. If it weren't for us, you would have been tied up and ready to be thrown into the tyrannosaurus pit." Fugen said gracefully. His voice was as melodious as a musical instrument, but the depths of his voice were burning with hellfire. "Also, if it weren't for us, but other humans, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so lucky. Not every human knows about Aralus, and not every legion commander is Laing's brother."
"Damn it! You humans are always like this. That's why Aisley hates any unwelcome guests entering the forest. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's not a pleasant memory. " Carolina's tone was aggrieved. She said with some lack of confidence, "Father and mother never taught me that humans are so cunning. Your words and actions are just like Loic the Deceiver. What a strange uncle!"
Strange uncle? Fugen's smile became stiff. He was about to ask why a wood elf princess came to Luscia alone, but the halfling Hubby had already come in with a plate from outside. "Legion Commander, the same breakfast you ordered is for the princess. May your song be as clear as the dew on the leaves in the morning."
"Thank you ~" Karolina politely expressed her gratitude to the halfling. The wood elf princess no longer paid any attention to Forgen. She carried her plate out and began to eat her breakfast.
Forget it. It's not a big problem if she's alone. It's best if I can take her in. If not, I'll get someone to watch over her. If not, I'll send a ship to send her back to the Old World. Fugen thought for a moment and made a decision.
Therefore, after breakfast, there was an additional Wood Elf Lost Tracker in the Ash Corps' team. Everyone broke camp and continued heading for First City.
Carolina originally thought that this legion commander would treat her as a VIP and worship her or at least let her follow him. In the end, this didn't happen at all. Fugen handed her over to his subordinates in the Phoenix Guard to watch over and let her be in charge of raising the horses. No matter where she went, the two Phoenix guards generally didn't leave her side. As for Fugen, he was basically busy talking to Priest Spirit Lizard, Mage Jin, or Julius. The wood elf princess rarely had the chance to talk to this strange uncle.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Ashes Corps liked to talk to this female elf. During the boring journey, it was rare to have a woman in the army, and an extremely rare female elf at that. These soldiers were really overstimulated with hormones. They constantly tried to talk to Carolina, and most of them were flattering their beloved and worshipped legion commander — Fugen.
Amidst the chatter, Carolina roughly understood Fugen's series of glorious feats. He had withstood the lizardman army, destroyed the Chaos tribe of Skogi, fought the Chaos Great Fiends at the Dawn Pyramid, protected Itaza, fought the Four Chaos Gods in a bloody battle, and at the critical moment, fought the Skaven ratmen and severely injured Luther Haken's Pirate King fleet on the Vampire Coast.
One great victory after another was exaggerated by the soldiers as if Fulgen was an omnipotent god. The Wood Elf Princess was a little dizzy as she listened. Is this human really so powerful?
Why does it sound like he's even stronger than her father, the recognized hero of the wood elves, Aralos?
The wood elf princess knew about Laing's great achievements. She thought that it wasn't surprising that he was Laing's brother.
After two days of trekking, Itaza finally appeared in front of everyone. They saw the most magnificent scene on this mysterious continent. The tall lizardman temple stood high above the lush canopy, shining under the bright sun. Hundreds of lasers shot from the top of the pyramid directly into the sky.
The young races looked at this scene in front of them. Even though they had seen this scene before, the soldiers still clicked their tongues in amazement. Every temple city was extremely ancient, an ancient city built in the era of the ancient sages. There had never been a young race that had the ability to build such a huge, simple, and spectacular great city. The magnificent buildings and huge pyramids were still standing today. The scale of the city was breathtaking and incomparable.
Now, under the leadership of Kroc, Itaza had been restored to its former glory. Every creature in the city had their own duties, making the city even more magnificent. The spirit lizards were responsible for ensuring that the city could operate normally and smoothly. Under the gorgeously decorated arch, the lizardman army was setting off. They received Kroc's order to recover the lost temple cities. Hundreds of cold lizards were patrolling around the city under the control of cold lizard riders. Triceratops were slowly dragging all kinds of heavy building materials prepared for the giant lizards. Although the activity and glory of Itaza was already a small silhouette of the miracle of the past, at least Kroc had brought an opportunity for revival.
"You guys keep an eye on her. I'll go in and hand over the slate." Fu Gen instructed his subordinates, then followed the spirit lizard priest to the great pyramid in the center. The huge and majestic stepped gold-shaped building towered above everything. The spirit lizard priest opened the door of the stargazing room, indicating that Fu Gen could go in. He was alone. The rest of the army could only wait outside the great pyramid. Carolina had already seen the emerald pool. The sparkling emerald pool had a healing ability that made even the mother goddess of the elves, Isa, envious and jealous. The wood elf princess suppressed the excitement in her heart, but she knew that it was not the time yet.
Fu Gen entered the inner room. In the stargazing room that was shrouded in clouds, Fu Gen gently placed the slate on the ground. "According to the agreement, I've taken back the slate."
The first generation demon toad, Kroc, was sitting on the highest holy throne. He was wearing the sun god Potec's plate, wearing the Itaza amulet, holding the peacock stone scepter in one hand and the holy snake battle flag in the other. He had a golden death mask on his face. He gently exhaled a thick mist. "Put it down. Ancient Saint's son, you did well."
Fu Gen put down the ancient saint slate. The king's son geno prototype wanted to see if the first generation demon toad had any expression, but the golden death mask had already covered Kroc's head. Only a pair of eyes that were full of wisdom and magic whirlpools could be seen. The eyes looked at Fu Gen. "Ancient Saint's son, the power of the stars is dimming. The great protection is gradually losing its effectiveness. My deal with your father still stands. Our efforts may not be able to stop the arrival of the final moment, but we still have a chance to save enough power to fight back. This is all part of the big plan."
"The big plan? What is it?" Fu Gen finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"The big plan is a deep understanding that cannot be expressed in words." Kroc's psionic power echoed back and forth in the hot and thick mist. "Ancient Saint, my master, they made the big plan. It was not through words, but through a deep understanding. The whispers of their thoughts were conveyed into my mind in the ancient language. Ancient Saint's son, you cannot understand the true meaning of the big plan. Perhaps your father, the young ancient saint, can, but you cannot."
"Not even me?" When Fu Gen heard this answer, he was not only a little puzzled, but he was also a little instinctively unhappy. He had always had almost absolute confidence in his own strength. He really could not imagine why Kroc was not even willing to say it himself.
"You do not have the ability to understand the will of the ancient saint, Ancient Saint's son. Even your father cannot fully understand the will of the ancient saint." Kroc seemed to see Fu Gen's puzzlement and thoughts. He went on to say, "He is too young. Being young means that sometimes he appears superficial and childish."
Fu Gen was silent. He obviously did not intend to accept Kroc's explanation.
Kroc sat on the Supreme Holy Throne. When he saw Fu Gen's expression, he continued to speak.
"Your father is a young ancient saint. Perhaps in your eyes, he is already very powerful." Kroc's words contained the power of the stars and the source of creation. "But among the ancient saints, he is too young. He is only about forty thousand years old. There have been many supreme beings like him in the millions of years of history of the ancient saints. Lord of Humans, your father is just one of these supreme beings that is not outstanding. Ancient Saint's son, you have never seen my master's power of creation, but you must know of the Eldar's master, Assuyan? He once pulled nine stars over to form a nebula with his own strength. Your father is very powerful, but he is not invincible. It is just … an exchange. I gave him my master's knowledge. He resurrected me and helped me purify the incubation pool and rebuild our home. We each take what we need. "
"…" Fu Gen still did not speak. In his heart, he was unwilling to admit that his beloved father, the Emperor, the Lord of Humans, was only one of the countless supreme beings evaluated by Master Kroc. However, his rationality told him that Kroc had no reason to lie.
"Very good, very good. You understand. Very good. Ancient Saint's son, follow me." Kroc motioned for Fu Gen to follow his Supreme Holy Throne. "I have two tasks for you."
