Golden leaves, orange-red hanging flowers, and soft lights illuminate the interior.
Several high-level conservative officials gathered here to discuss future actions.
…
"In other words, if we refuse to cooperate with the son of the gryphon, we will definitely lose?"
"That's right." An elf man supported his head, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and closed his eyes to answer.
"nausea."
"Oh, indeed."
"Humans still want to kidnap an Elf Queen from us. How greedy."
"Isn't this their nature, so they don't want to have anything to do with the empire anymore."
"But if we lose this time, we won't be able to control it in the future."
"so?"
"Are we going to send another Her Majesty the Queen?"
"The Elf Queen is actually a title used by the outside world, but unfortunately too many people used it later, so we also used this title ourselves."
"As for the elves, Her Majesty the Queen's true identity should be 'the flower-crown girl who prays for the World Tree on behalf of the elves.'"
"Then, we will give this noble Majesty to outsiders to be defiled?"
"It's ugly. Even back then, it was because Her Majesty Titania really had a crush on Yalin that everyone reluctantly agreed."
"Now this son of the gryphon is going to marry His Majesty as soon as he comes. What does he think of us elves? Is he so lowly?"
"Besides, he is only the son of a griffon, and he is not the heir to the empire. He will not even be able to inherit the Western Territory in the future. With such a status, is this considered a bride-in-law? But this person may not be thinking too well."
"Yes, yes, what you said is correct, but the current problem also needs to be solved. What should we do? Do we have to rob it by force? Even if we are not afraid of offending the Duke of Griffin, there are many great knights around the eldest son of the Griffin. They cannot do it instantly.
The solution will usher in the intervention of the liberal faction, and when the report is released, we conservatives will be finished without a duel."
"That's it, alas..."
There was a brief silence in the room.
"So, how to decide in the end? I think cooperation is still necessary. As for marriage..."
"Then I can only say that at most, let him come into contact with Her Majesty the Queen. If Her Majesty the Queen doesn't want to, then in Eastern terms, maybe there is no fate."
"This will anger the Griffin Duke."
"Yes, but this is not an unbearable price. We can make up for it or deal with it in other ways later."
"But it is absolutely impossible to admit defeat."
…
The discussion in the room came to a standstill again.
Afterwards, these people discussed it back and forth many times in the room, until finally they slowly finalized this decision.
Victory is necessary, cooperation is necessary, but the final marriage can continue to be discussed.
"That's it. This time I'll ask Sabrina to act as the intermediary and explain to the eldest son of the gryphon."
"As for the marriage, I promised him that I would first take down the 'Wind of the King' before we talk about it."
"No problem." Sabrina stood up, opened the door, and returned to the hall.
Soon after, a shout from the doorman entered the hall.
"His Royal Highness Jie Lan'en is here~" The hall became lively and the banquet officially entered its climax.
"Welcome~"
Sabrina stepped forward with a silk flower folding umbrella to guide the son of the gryphon, which attracted the attention of many people in the hall.
This son of a griffon with short blond hair was wearing a black dress with gold trim and a snow-white silk scarf in front of his collar. His handsome face and tall figure immediately made many girls cheer for him.
No matter whether they are elves or human girls, there is not much resistance to such a top-notch aristocratic young master. Many people even took the opportunity to gather around him. There was also a lively discussion in the hall, questioning and discussing this griffon.
The purpose of the eldest son’s visit.
"I wonder why tonight's golden honey pear wine doesn't suit His Highness's taste." After Jie Lanen greeted everyone and walked around briefly, Sabrina came over again.
"It's very good, just like the sweet dew dripping under the sunset, then brewed by the moonlight, and finally condensed."
"Such a compliment, it's really a compliment." Sabrina replied modestly, but the proud and happy look on her face couldn't be concealed from others.
The two then had a small chat for a while before slowly getting down to business.
"I have some new ideas about His Highness's last proposal..." Next, the noble lady invited Jie Lanen to a small round table in the corner on the second floor of the venue. After the two sat down, the waiter brought
Over drinks and snacks, further discussions began.
The dance floor and guests below were still lively, but these had nothing to do with the two of them.
By the end of this discussion, the banquet was slowly coming to an end. After announcing the new works and the new works of many artists, the guests slowly dispersed and the venue gradually became quiet.
"Then let's say goodbye today, sister Tiffany~" At the gate, several young girls greeted Tiffany and then walked onto the carriage.
"Come back next time~" Tiffany also raised her hand in response, watching them leave one by one, and only breathed out when no one was around.
Today is finally over.
The guests gradually left, and the attendants began to clean some vacant rooms and venues.
At this time, with Sabrina seeing him off, Jie Lann also strolled down the steps. The two seemed to be chatting happily, and they still didn't stop at this moment.
"Please invite Mrs. Sabrina to come to my humble residence tomorrow." Finally, Jie Lann also said goodbye and left, leaving an invitation for tomorrow.
"I will definitely go." Sabrina waved her hand and stood on the steps to watch the distinguished guest leave.
After taking the carriage away and disappearing into the night, Sabrina ordered the waiters and maids to clean the living room and the venue.
"How was your day with your friends today, Tiffany."
Turning back, the noble lady picked up her niece and asked in a soft voice. The two of them gradually walked towards the mansion behind the courtyard, which was the resting place.
"It's very fresh. I've met a lot of new friends..." Tiffany quietly explained what happened today, causing the lady to nod slowly.
"Well, very good, she deserves to be Tiffany." She touched her niece's head, and then entered the mansion together.
Soon, the news of the alliance between the conservatives and the Sons of the Gryphon spread to the liberal side. This seemed to be something that was difficult to hide. Jelane visited Sabrina many times, and the other party also went to the place where Jelane lived.
, showing intimacy.
"Loran, do you know anything about the son of the gryphon?"
One day after dinner, Lorraine Hill and Vistena were walking, and the other party asked the girl with a little trouble.
"I knew him in school, but now that he has graduated many years ago, I'm not sure what the son of the griffon has become like."
Lorraine Hill talked about some things that happened on campus, some of which she experienced personally, and some of which she heard from her classmates.
"Giggles, this son of a griffon is quite innocent. He pursued you like that at that time." Vistena laughed for a while after hearing this.
"It doesn't feel too bad, but it's not easy to deal with people like this." She sighed.
"People who pursue interests can easily find their purpose and communication methods, but some people don't care about interests..."
"It's great if you're a friend, but it's a headache if you're an enemy."
"We speculate that the Griffin Duke should have given the conservatives some conditions that are difficult to refuse, such as the duel event of this test. Otherwise, how could those arrogant guys deal with Jielan so easily."
"Things are getting more and more complicated." Vistena sighed.
"This time we have to start thinking about the fifth test, which is the seven secrets of the Fairy Land, the seven colors of golden flowers, the seven movements, and the seven keys."
"How many songs can Luo Lan sing..."
"Me." Lorraine Hill pondered for a moment, then stretched out his finger.
"I see, I'm probably prepared." Vistena looked at the silver-haired girl and nodded slightly.
"I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again this time."
"No, I will have a lot of trouble with Vistena in the future." Lorraine Hill blinked and replied with a smile.
"Then I'm looking forward to it, haha~"
Three days later, the test of the five duels was officially unveiled. Many elves gathered in the Emerald Court, and various forces in the empire also sent envoys to watch the ceremony.
In the morning breeze, Aiqinweila was wearing an elegant dress with gold leaves on a white background, and stepped onto the high platform step by step. Her long pink hair was flying in the wind behind her, and the gold embroidered patterns on her dress were reflected in the halo of light.
Shining brightly.
After the Elf Queen sat on the flower throne under the giant tree, the fifteen seats in the Emerald Court were seated one by one, followed by the rows of cascading viewing seats on both sides, and the large semicircle audience opposite.
seats.
Monstery and beautiful elf dragons were flying in the sky, and some birds were resting on the trees. Along with the summer breeze, the elf in priest clothes slowly walked up to the round platform in the middle and began to announce the reveal of this test.
"First of all, the first item, the Basin of Meteor Fire and the Skirt of Lotus Dew."
"This test is for both parties to solve the disasters of cold wind and dry land respectively, so as to show their power to protect the forest people."
"There is no doubt that the final winner of this test is the Open Party. They traveled thousands of miles despite hardships, once again opened up the road to contact the former sisters, re-established diplomatic relations with the ice elves, and in the following year, they jointly overcome
Against all odds, they have solved the huge disaster that has plagued the world. In this test, they deservedly demonstrated their bravery, wisdom, compassion and strength!"
The ceremonial officer solemnly announced the winner of a test, and the elves below burst into violent applause and cheers after the words were spoken. This test is unusual, and it is the one that has the greatest impact on ordinary people.
In the venue, many envoys from the north even knelt down on one knee to show their gratitude.
After announcing this first item, the ceremonial officer walked down the steps, and then the other slowly appeared.
"The second item is to look for wood, jade branches and shells of forgetfulness."
"The sacred wood jade branch that makes people recall all the past, and the shell pearl that makes people forget all worries and fears. How can there be such treasures? Let's present both sides for everyone to examine."
After finishing speaking, the ceremonial officer touched the ground lightly with his staff, and then an elf on each side of the high platform slowly walked forward carrying objects.
When the curtain above is lifted, green and purple jade branches are revealed, and a pearl jumps into view among the white spray shells.
Then about 50 masters qualified to review and evaluate came on stage one by one, took turns to review the two items, and finally selected someone to use them to determine the authenticity.
"What is very worthy of celebration is that both parties successfully completed this test and found rare treasures."
"Therefore, I hereby declare that this test between the two parties is a draw."
After the words fell, although there was some applause in the venue, it was much sparser than before. After all, this test was not entertaining and had little bearing on their lives.
After the ceremonial officer went down, another ceremonial officer walked up to the stage. He was wearing a green and white robe and a crown with antlers.
"At this point, the third item, the Cloud-Splitting Beast Horn and Wang Mi's Wind, have begun to be revealed."
After the words fell, the two sides did not send anyone to the scene quickly this time. Instead, there was a silence, and the elf who presided over the ceremony seemed to have expected it and remained calm.
The venue came to a rare standstill, and the audience below began to discuss in low voices.
"Is this test too difficult?"
"It seems so. The Cloud Splitting Beast is the pinnacle of fantasy monsters, and the King's Wind is said to be too hard to find in the ice prison-like Titania."
"Huh, could it be a draw?"
"It's possible, but..." Before the elf could finish speaking, a burst of noise suddenly sounded in the venue.
"Look over there, someone from the conservative side is up there."
A majestic elf man, dressed in golden armor and a snow-white cloak, slowly walked up the steps holding a scabbard with exquisite and complicated patterns, while his other hand was pressed tightly on the hilt of the sword, ready to move at any time.
It may look like the sword is being drawn out.
"That is, Su Fenkein, the champion swordsman of the royal family." Many people shouted out that name.
Although men are not allowed to be elected as Elf Queen, Sufenke has conquered many people with his strong strength and heroic example. This royal elf is considered by the public to be the prince among elves (although elves do not have the title of prince), which is enough to show that
How famous is he?
"The wind of the sword is swaying, and the voices are silent. This is the holy sword that founded the country, the 'Wind of the King'!"
As the voice shouted, the sword was slowly drawn out, and the pale golden wind began to flow around the forest, making people feel a gentle majesty and power.
After the venue was silent for a few seconds, cheers immediately erupted, and many people began to shout his name, or the sword that represented royal power.
"Sufenkein!"
"The style of a king!"
"Sufenkein!"
"The style of a king!"
…
With such a lively scene, people who didn't know anything about it would probably think that an Elf King was enthroned here and was born. Fortunately, the open faction didn't remain silent for too long.
At some point, a light cool breeze began to sweep across the sky, and the sky gradually darkened. The thick clouds seemed to be getting deeper and thicker, pressing down from the sky.
Click!
At some point, a thunder flashed across the sky, turning everything white, making the elves in the forest tremble.
Then a huge gray horn poked out from the thick cloud, then continued to descend and extend, bringing out that huge and shocking body.
The body covering the entire sky streaked across the sky with moist clouds and mist, descending like a mountain, causing many people watching the ceremony to panic, feel dizzy as if the sky was falling, and even become unsteady.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The Cloud Splitting Beast, which was like a gray mountain and a giant whale, slowly stopped in mid-air and just pushed its horn down, touching the venue.
The huge horn with a diameter of nearly 100 meters immediately occupied everything in the field of vision, giving people a wild and powerful visual impact.
"This, is this the Cloud Split Beast?" An envoy from the empire looked at this terrifying beast with chattering teeth, almost unsteady on his feet.
"It should be so. There can be no more terrifying and powerful monsters than this." The knight next to him supported him, suppressing his inner uneasiness and explaining in a weak voice.
"They are so terrifying. How did they attract them? Can the elves have such strength to tame such fantasy beasts?" the envoy asked still tremblingly.
"I don't know about this. Maybe we can get the answer from others later."
In the panic of the audience, the ritual officer had to speak temporarily to appease the guests and elves at the venue, and then announced that this was the genuine Cloud Splitter Horn.
Although there is no master or anyone else to check the authenticity, no one dares to object or deny it at this moment. Under the gaze of those pupils with a diameter of about 30 meters, the pressure from the soul or will is so clear that just opening the mouth requires a huge
courage.
"Then, this test will also end in a draw between the two sides." After the ceremonial officer announced, the Cloud Splitting Beast slowly lifted up and then slowly disappeared into the thick clouds in the sky.
"Phew, we finally left." Many people below collapsed on the ground.
"It's been three games now. If the conservatives still can't win one game, they have already declared defeat."
"Yeah, it depends on whether the conservatives have any trump cards this time."
The fourth ritual officer slowly appeared on the stage. He opened the scroll and announced loudly.
"The fourth item, poems of leaves and paintings of stars."
