Chapter 263: The Unexpected Elf Elder
Chapter 263: The Unexpected Elf Elder
"You...are not from this world."
After the Demon King talked with the high-level leaders of the elves, he promised to give the elves a great gift in the future. The elders then allowed Mo Fan to enter the World Tree and accept the test.
But actually...
"Test? Who?"
"Son of the Devil."
"Now this demon king's?"
"Correct."
"What else is there to say? I agree."
Seeing the majority of elders agreeing, Mo Fan was stunned. Aren’t all elves so friendly?
However, what Mo Fan didn't know was that after the signing of the armistice agreement, where were the people who reacted the most? The people in the No Man's Land. Because the No Man's Land involved various black industries, many criminals who burned, killed, and looted in other places would eventually flee here. There were also many human slaves who were trafficked here.
The reason why they were so arrogant was because the Human-Demon War involved the entire continent, leaving the church and a number of countries with no time to properly clean them up. Therefore, when the peace treaty was signed, the countries began to massacre these criminals.
The United Nations is handled by the Church of Holy Light, or it is handed over to Vientiane College and becomes the task of senior students there.
As a result, the suppression of the lawless zone was overwhelming. Facing the crusades of various countries, the lawless zone could only behead those who had escaped and committed serious crimes.
Otherwise, the uninhabited area might be flattened by the Qin cavalry.
However, after this round of cleansing, it was impossible for the Nowhere Zone to return to its former glory. Even returning to its old business was difficult to achieve. Therefore, they set their sights on the magic tools of the dwarves.
But the dwarves' magic tools are both offensive and defensive, so it's hard for them to break in. What should they do?
The dwarves like the forest where the elves live very much. They think there must be a lot of untapped mineral deposits under the forest. Moreover, compared with the dwarves' stature and appearance, the tall and beautiful elves are particularly outstanding.
Therefore, the dwarves and the elves have always been at odds. One is about nature, the other is about technology. One lives in the dark underground and was previously despised. The other lives in the beautiful forest and attracts the attention of people wherever he goes.
Therefore, the remaining leaders in the hopeless zone invaded the Elf Forest, which had not yet established defenses. They also hunted many elves and sent them to the Dwarf Kingdom in exchange for many magic tools.
They use these to build their own cities, and use the colorful atmosphere and the breath of freedom to deceive ignorant people one after another. Then they will go back to their old ways and dismember or sell these people.
Since these people went there on their own initiative, those countries couldn't say much, except for the Empire, of course.
What about the elves? Although they were very angry about the behavior of these people, their magic tools were becoming more and more sophisticated, and there were also many strong ones among them. So this gave the elves a headache.
The key point is that the church at this time is still responsible for clearing out criminals in the United Nations, and will go to places where monsters are rampant, such as the Dark Forest, to arrest those who attempt to escape. They can only send a small number of strong men for support, but it still has no effect.
At this time, it was the Dark Forest, or the Demon King's Castle, that took action.
Due to the signing of the peace treaty, the Demon King did not send his army to razze the unlawful zone, but went there alone. When he appeared at the edge of the Elf Forest, he spoke loudly to communicate with the Elf Queen.
"Due to the treaty restrictions, I cannot take the initiative. Do you need help?"
The Elf Queen, who was discussing with the elders, was stunned when she heard the voice, then she immediately ran out of the palace and looked at the Demon King in the sky. She nodded slowly.
"If necessary, please ask the Demon King to bring back our lost companions. The elves will reward us handsomely."
Then there was a brutal massacre. All the humans in the Elf Forest were killed, and they were all hacked to pieces until they lost their resistance and were handed over to the nearby elves for disposal. Then the Demon King came to the city in the lawless zone and ignored the bugs who were talking about the treaty. After all, they were not even qualified to sign the treaty.
At the cost of three dead cities, the Demon King brought back all the elves in the Impossible Zone. As for the dwarves? The Demon King did not go there, after all, that involved another race, another subject of treaty restrictions.
The Queen expressed her understanding of this and declared that if the Dwarf King did not return the people of the Elf Clan, the Elves would be enemies of the Dwarf Clan for generations to come.
Within seven days, the Dwarf King returned all the elves. It was not because the Dwarf King was afraid, but because he was unwilling to trade with the elves and was unwilling to be involved with those humans. However, some dwarves in the Dwarf Kingdom were willing to do so.
Therefore, the Dwarf King, relying on his absolute control over the Dwarf Kingdom, took over all the people of the Elf Clan, and imprisoned those dwarves involved in the transaction, waiting for the matter to be over.
If the elves were defeated, then it wouldn't matter if they were released. But that was impossible. The elves were on good terms with the Holy Light Empire, and they were even on the same boat. If they got angry, even if the Demon King didn't come, the current Pope would come.
And if it is the Pope who comes, I am afraid that the Pope will let the members of the church wipe out this rotten place.
On the contrary, if this matter is settled, sending the elves back may be able to ease the relationship with the elves. After all, to obtain the ore from the Elf Forest, it is not necessary to drive the elves out. Trading is also a good option, isn't it?
Since then, the relationship between the elves and the demons has eased, and their views on the Demon King have taken a big turn. Of course, they still look down on other demons, they just like the Demon King.
This is why, when the Queen asked Mo Fan to accept the test of the World Tree, most people would agree. Even if they did not agree, they would just abstain from expressing their opinions.
Even when they heard that Mo Fan accepted the test in order to gain the elves' trust and to be with Ellie, some elf elders immediately expressed their disapproval.
"I think he is a good-looking man. Although he is not very strong, he still has the courage to come to our elf tribe to find Princess Ellie. His courage is commendable."
At one point he even said that there was no need for any test, and that people could just pray directly and let the World Tree judge their feelings.
In response, Mo Fan expressed that he was flattered.
"No, no, I'll still go and test it, and let everyone feel more at ease."
Even though it was a test, Mo Fan felt that he had received a great benefit, and he took the initiative to suggest that his father should give the elves a reward. The Demon King agreed at the time, but after thinking it over again and again, he could not think of any reward, so he let the elves come up with it themselves.
After a round of negotiation, everyone was happy. The elf elders were impressed that the Demon King was still as elegant as ever, and some even said that the Demon King was extraordinary. Mo Fan even doubted that this elf would have any improper thoughts about his father.
(This illusion tests Chenxi's determination, so it's understandable that Mo Fan didn't encounter any hardships...)
