Chapter 4 The Trial of Kingship (3)
"I can't believe that we actually escaped unscathed from the Night Elf..."
After running four streets, Ian stopped after confirming that there were no pursuers behind him.
"Thanks to this thing..." Ian took out a transparent crystal stone from his arms, and sincerely thanked its inventor, Eros.
As one of the rarest metals, Sadhgu crystal is known as a must-have for making magic props that are more expensive than magic gold.
It can greatly increase the success rate of invisibility and is a must-have item for magicians to cast invisible magic. The magic prop master Eros used his extraordinary creativity and the invisible ability of Sadhgu crystal to develop his most magical work - Invisible Crystal.
Although it only comes with confusion ability, the Sadhgu crystal stone can confuse creatures born with magic and create illusory illusions about their eyes and feelings. For example, dragons, elves, demons and human mages, when facing invisible crystal holders, the perception of these creatures will greatly decrease.
Therefore, despite the pricelessness, many theft groups and treasure hunters still buy these invisible crystals at high prices, using their special abilities to sneak into the dragon's cave, the elves kingdom, and the wizard tower.
Unfortunately, due to the limited materials, only more than a hundred were made at that time, and only a dozen of them could be passed down to this day.
However, the Invisible Crystal has a fatal flaw, and its special abilities have no effect on people without magic.
If I hadn't had an invisible crystal that could disturb the natural magical element, Ian would have been discovered long ago.
Fortunately, this time I brought invisible crystals.
In the past, I rarely contacted elves and mages, and the invisible crystal came in almost no use. This was the first time Ian discovered the real purpose of the invisible crystal.
I had complained before that the inconspicuous crystal I received from the adult gift was such an inconspicuous crystal. Now it seems that what Yagu said is not a false statement, and it has a better effect on magical elves than ordinary human mages. If there weren't any invisible crystals, they would have been discovered by the night elves.
"Ian, what should we do next?"
Although he didn't understand the elf language, Masha saw some clues from his brother's face when something bad happened.
Maybe I heard something I shouldn't have heard, and maybe the night elves who wouldn't let it go would send someone to chase them.
Next...
After carefully observing the surrounding environment, I did not find that the night elves had any action of locking down the city, which means they still have time.
"Go back to the hotel to pack up your things and we will leave here immediately."
"Why?"
"Don't ask so much, we have to leave right away."
Without answering Masha's questions, Ian went straight to the hotel where they lived.
Although leaving the city now may cause suspicion, he has no choice. If the night elves seal the city, it will be difficult to escape.
Even if the power of the night elves is great, it is impossible to be as arrogant as in Meri City when they reach a territory that does not belong to them. Moreover, on his father's territory, Ian is confident that he can escape the pursuit of the night elves.
******************************
"Sir, the elders of the Senate should not have rejected my proposal."
Moya is sure to start magical image teleportation again and hold a "trial of royal power".
At this stage, it is impossible for the Senate to reject the trial.
The Elf King must be elected, and even the Great Elder Anster will not refuse even in the Night Capital.
This temptation is too great. The nine major families and ordinary nobles all hope that their families will have a new elves.
"Yes, the Senate has agreed." Ji Changli nodded repeatedly, but he rejected Moya's next words.
Salto firmly opposed Moya's desire to go to Mingsu alone.
"Now is an important period for selecting the new king. How can you leave as the current highest priest of the night elves? Besides, how can I let the only war priest go out alone to take risks." Knowing that Moya's purpose was to settle her old grudges, the Priest felt that it was not the time to leave now.
"Prince Ji, I am not insisting on taking risks, but wanting to be freed from the 'past' as soon as possible. Therefore, I must deal with the previous grievances. At least, I hope to use my personal strength to put my past to a complete end. So..." Before Moya finished speaking, the guards guarding outside the parliament hall knocked on the door, bringing another reason to let Moya go to Mingsu.
"Letter? To the Priest?"
The name of the priest is written in the elf language on the high-level letter.
Looking at the letter presented by the guards with both hands, Moya carefully cast a detection magic first, and confirmed that there was no poison or any spell on it before he could take it. With the consent of the Chief of the Saint, she opened the envelope.
"Dear Lord Salto, Chief of the Dark Night Priest, I, as the host of the last peace conference, have to send you an invitation. The time of the centenary peace conference is approaching. I sincerely invite you to go to Mingsu to attend the meeting in Angelit."
Now, Master Ji has no reason to object.
Moya is happy for this unexpected episode.
According to the system of the Night Elf, diplomacy has always been under the management of the temple. Although the Priest of the Night Elf is the current supreme ruler of the Night Elf, in fact, Moya's level is higher than that of the Abyss Priest, so she should be responsible for the mission.
"It was such a coincidence..." Ji Chang knew that no matter how he opposed it, he could only change Moya's determination to go to Mingsu.
"Forget it, it's useless for me to force it. Since you have decided, let's go and settle the matter in Merri." As for Moya's insistence, Ji Changwei nodded in agreement; "Sistar, you will return to Phil Knight immediately. As one of the candidates for royal power, you will have to spend the next year completing the trial of royal power."
"Yes, sacrifice to the elder."
Compared to Moya's obvious joy, there was no smile on Sistale's face.
After closing the image teleportation, Moya hurried to the obelisk stone tower located next to the Hall of Night.
This newly built tower is used to cast defensive barriers.
Moya originally wanted to combine the two spells "Light of Heaven" and "Curse Power" to create a more perfect defensive barrier.
Because the initiator entered the Abyss Demon Realm to practice, the research on defense magic has progressed very slowly.
Now Moya plans to place the Dragon Clan Covenant in the completed stone tower, and then build another stone tower in the direction of the city lord's mansion to configure the defensive barrier.
In this way, even if she is not in Meili and Mingsu or other countries attack again, the defense that the city already has can resist an army of tens of thousands of people before the reinforcements of the Night Capital arrive.
"You are going to place the Dragon Clan Covenant here?"
Bilfit, who followed him, watched Moya take out the dragon horn again, and he couldn't help but ask whether doing so would cause the wrath of the Church of Light.
The Church of Light had a knot with Moya. If it weren't for the Lichs of the Death Leader leading the Death Army to attack the north, I'm afraid that the night elves who are fighting against the Holy Dragon Knights now would be the night elves.
The lost dragon covenant actually appeared in the city where the night elves lived. In this way, the Church of Light might incite nearby countries to launch a war against Meili. Meili's economic and trade finally recovered from the trough of the battle with Ming and Su. If the war begins again, this commercial city will be really done.
"Don't worry, I'll place the Dragon Clan Covenant in Meri to deter the rulers of nearby countries. The Church of Light will never allow Meri to continue to develop. They will definitely incite the countries that believe in the goddess of Light on the Eastern Continent to go to war with Meri, but... except for the five countries of Mingsu, Onetro, Farion, Heisen and Bora, no other country has the ability to fight against the night elves." Knowing that Bilfit was worried that Meri would be attacked by other countries, Moya analyzed the situation around him.
Ming Su is now in endless civil strife and has long been divided into three forces. They are still in internal strife and have no time to take care of Meili.
Onetro, because he had a private agreement with Moya, had no idea of continuing to move westward before he ate only the enemy Mingsu.
Although Haisen, Linhai's geographical environment and religious beliefs have a high chance of taking action, because the old king has been seriously ill recently, it is estimated that even if the princes who compete for the throne are willing, they will be powerless. Moreover, Haisen is a trade country and has the worst combat power among the five major countries in the East Continent.
Farion, facing Haisen in the west and Mingsu in the east, is the second military power second only to Mingsu. Although he is a loyal believer of the Church of Light, because of the Sunlight Plain, he has been fighting on the border with Mingsu. Now he may have the same idea as Onitro, and may want to swallow the relatively fertile plains in the west first. As for Meri, they probably haven't taken it to heart.
Bora, the least likely country. To attack Meri, you must pass through Farion and Mingsu to reach the Luso Wilderness where Meri is located, but this means that Bora's army must cross the borders of the two countries mentioned above, and no king would allow tens of thousands of troops from neighboring countries to pass through their own territory.
"I understand. Not only do I want to place the Dragon Clan Covenant in Meili, but also let the nearby countries know that Meili has a Dragon Clan Covenant. In this way, when they try to attack, they may consider whether it is necessary to make a huge sacrifice for a small commercial city."
"Prince Thorne, and Bilfit. During this period of time I left, I decided to hand over the Dragon Clan Covenant to you and the two of you for safekeeping." Thinking that after I left, others might have come to steal or rob the Dragon Clan Covenant, Moya decided to let Bilfit and Thorne take charge of the magic key to open the stone tower together.
