Chapter 690: Elf
The silver pegasus landed on the ground and folded its wings. Mich.e.l.le jumped off her horse and happily jumped over here, “Blanche! So you are here!”
Blanche greeted her. She had always looked cold even when facing a powerhouse like Chen Rui, but when she saw Mich.e.l.le, she showed a rare smile.
Blanche pulled Mich.e.l.le over, “Mich.e.l.le, this is…”
“Richard”. Chen Rui smiled slightly, “Ms. Mich.e.l.le, nice to meet you.”
“Human?” Mich.e.l.le was taken aback as she looked at Blanche and nodded to Chen Rui, “Hi I am Mich.e.l.le.”
The figure of this elf girl was similar to that of Alice. She looked lovely and had big eyes like a doll made of jade. Her speech and behavior were also very polite, which gave a good impression, but her strength was only F.
Mich.e.l.le looked at the human with a little red bird on his head curiously, “Are you… Blanche’s friend?”
“Um, if Ms. Blanche doesn’t object, I think we can be friends, and this… White Wind.”
The aura fruit contained a powerful force of nature which was very important for the growth of the unicorn. It was very scarce even in the Jade Forest Sea, and the magical effect of the aura fruit was way better. White Wind had previously tasted the sweetness of the aura fruit and witnessed Chen Rui eliminate the enemies who hurt it. Therefore, its trust in this strange human increased greatly. When it heard him calling it by its name, it immediately leaned over.
This scene made Mich.e.l.le look surprised- Even White Wind, who is difficult for many elfs to get close to, approached this human so proactively? Chen Rui understood when he saw the unicorn staring at his hand. He took out an aura fruit.
A red figure suddenly appeared on Chen Rui’s head, rushed into his palm, and unceremoniously took the aura fruit away, then she jumped back to the temporary birdhouse on his head. It was none other than Ms. Duoduo.
The little phoenix was actually full, but she just wanted to mess around plus “whatever I want” was the temperament of Ms. Duoduo. Ms. Duoduo sat on the aura fruit and chirped provocatively. If it wasn’t for the physical constraint, she might even have crossed her claws.
“Wow!” Mich.e.l.le stared in awe, “Richard. Your bird is so cute! Can you let me touch it?”
Chen Rui, “…”
Blanche, “…”
“Mich.e.l.le.” Blanche interrupted Mich.e.l.le’s easily misunderstood words, “This is what happened. White Wind and I encountered the poachers and Richard saved us.”
Mich.e.l.le’s favor with Chen Rui had risen again, “Richard, thank you for saving Blanche and White Wind.”
Chen Rui nodded as Blanche spoke up, “I have something to discuss with Richard. You ride Flying Wings and take White Wind back first, okay?”
Mich.e.l.le glanced at Chen Rui in surprise, then at Blanche, mysteriously pulling the half-elf girl aside and whispered, “This is the first time I have seen you take such an initiative to a man. Could it be…”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Blanche gave her a little push, “Go back now!”
“You still deny it.” Mich.e.l.le grinned, “You don’t want me to be a third-wheeler, isn’t it?”
“Just do me a favor. Mich.e.l.le, I beg you, go back now.”
“Why stop calling me Your Highness? It seems that my good friend is in a pretty good mood today? Since it’s a date, why don’t you take off your ugly eye patch, it really looks ugly.”
Chen Rui on the side finally understood Blanche’s good intentions. She didn’t want ‘Richard’, a person of unknown origin and powerful strength, to know Mich.e.l.le’s special ident.i.ty so as not to be held hostage or have other accidents. Therefore, she wanted Mich.e.l.le to ride the unicorn away from danger while she stayed on her own.
From this point of view, this Ms. Half-elf has some plot, but more importantly, she has a pretty good heart.
Chen Rui smiled slightly, “It turns out to be ‘Your Highness’ Mich.e.l.le. Pardon my demeanor.”
Blanche’s expression changed. When Mich.e.l.le said that, she knew it was going to be bad. Mich.e.l.le smiled and said, “If you dare to bully Blanche, I won’t let you go.”
Chen Rui quickly explained, “Ladies, I think you have all misunderstood. I came to the Jade Forest Sea because I wish to meet Sir Grand Master Finoia for an important matter. Unfortunately, this is the first time I have come to the forest sea, so I’m lost… Ladies, please take me to the location of the elf tribe.”
“So you’re looking for teacher…” Mich.e.l.le was stunned as she accidentally revealed another ident.i.ty. The half-elf girl shook her head helplessly.
“Please do me a favor?”
“En!” Mich.e.l.le nodded, “Take it as a thank you for saving Blanche and White Wind, but I’m not sure whether teacher will see you or not. It’s getting late, let’s hurry up.”
After making a promise with the aura fruit as bait in the [a.n.a.lytical Eyes], Chen Rui successfully rode the unicorn. Mich.e.l.le and Blanche sat on the silver pegasus together, and the 2 mounts rushed forward through the forest. Finally, they went through the layers of water-like special enchantment to arrive at the residence of the elf tribe: the Silver Moon Celestial Capital.
It was nighttime. The celestial capital under the moonlight looked like countless magnificent night pearls. The sound of music could be heard faintly, giving people a poetic and picturesque feeling.
“Dear Moonlight G.o.ddess! Your Highness Mich.e.l.le, you are finally back! Your Highness is absent from the banquet today. Her Majesty Liv seems very angry. Your Highness should go back to the palace.” At the gate of the city, a sharp female voice sounded. This was a tall and beautiful female elf with a team of guards behind her.
The elf tribe’s figure and appearance were indeed outstanding. There was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women. The strength of these guards was not weak, especially the tall female elf leader who had reached the A level.
“I went to the northern part of the forest sea to help teacher collect some alchemy materials today.” Mich.e.l.le pouted and muttered in a low voice, “I don’t want to attend that kind of boring banquet.”
“North? That area is not safe recently!” The female elf’s voice became serious when she saw Chen Rui, “This… is a human? Who is he?”
The guards behind her all surrounded them. What surprised the elves was that the human actually jumped off the back of White Wind, the most unruly unicorn.
“Nana, don’t be so nervous. Richard is Blanche… and my friend who came to visit Teacher Finoia. He helped us eliminate the poachers.”
“Your Highness, you may not know but humans are very cunning. Don’t be fooled by them!” Nana glanced at Blanche, and her gaze getting sharper, “Half-elf, you dare to confuse Princess Royal Highness to bring an unknown human into the Silver Moon Celestial Capital!”
Someone in the guard whispered, “Hmph! This half-elf actually brought a man back.”
“This man is really ugly. No doubt, she inherited Lanzily’s level of appreciation. Like mother, like daughter…” From Nana’s t.i.tle and the whispers behind her, Blanche was indeed the target of discrimination in the elf tribe. The half-elf girl’s mouth moved, but she did not explain. Her face was as indifferent as before.
“Nana! It’s not about Blanche. I brought him back!” Mich.e.l.le said unhappily, “Didn’t Philly also bring back a group of humans yesterday? Mom even hosted a banquet to entertain them!”
“Those are of course different. They are the cla.s.smates of Royal Highness Philly at Starlight College. This time they came to train in the forest sea, and there is also the Blue Glory Empire’s…” Nana gave Chen Rui a wary look and did not say anything, “In any case, this human of unknown origin must not be allowed to enter the Silver Moon Celestial Capital unless he is willing to spend the rest of his life in prison.”
Blanche rode the silver pegasus along the way. Mich.e.l.le and Chen Rui, who had nothing to do, had a great chat. When she heard that Nana wanted to expel or arrest Chen Rui, she resolutely shook her head and said, “No! This is my friend!”
Chen Rui’s unhurried voice sounded, “Your Highness Mich.e.l.le, thank you very much for your trust and friends.h.i.+p. I’m honored to know such a beautiful, elegant and polite elf princess like you. Likewise, it’s an honor to meet a brave, strong, and kind-hearted Ms. Half-elf.”
His tone of voice changed as he said proudly, “It’s just that, as a diplomatic envoy of the mountain hobbit, I express regret and indignation for the treatment I’m currently receiving at the Silver Moon Celestial Capital. I will immediately return to the Black Rock Mountain’s Thick Soil Castle and faithfully convey the att.i.tude of the elf tribe to the Hobbit King Ovge.”
Chen Rui’s palm slowly opened to show a leaf-shaped magic badge exuding a faint natural breath. It reflected gem-like crystal light under the moonlight.
“Holy Leaf Heraldry!” Nana shuddered and called out aloud.
“This is the Holy Leaf Heraldry which represents the highest ally of the elf? It is said that only the mountain hobbit and the Blue Glory Empire have it, right?” Mich.e.l.le spilled the beans again while looking at this heraldry with gleaming eyes, “Can I touch it?”
Chen Rui, “…”
Nana, “…”
Shortly after the guards rushed to the palace to report, 2 elves appeared at the gate of the city – 1 male and 1 female. The male elf had a cold face, and the female elf was beautiful and elegant, both were wearing white robes with silver rims.
Mich.e.l.le, who was still chatting with Chen Rui just now, immediately showed a nervous expression and stepped forward to salute when she saw the female elf, “Teacher Patricy, Elder Cheropan.”
It seems that Mich.e.l.le has more than one teacher, and obviously she has a lot of reverence for this teacher.
“Little girl, don’t be nervous. I’m not here to punish you.” Patricy pursed her lips and smiled, then she turned her eyes to Chen Rui, “It is surprising that the mountain hobbit will send a human to the Silver Moon Celestial Capital as a representative. I’m Patricy, the elder of the elf tribe, and this is Elder Cheropan. Welcome to Celestial Capital, the envoy of the mountain hobbit.”
The strengths of these 2 elves were both at the Demon Overlord level. It seems that the elf tribe still attaches great importance to me, the envoy. Chen Rui bowed slightly, “Richard, greetings to both elders, I’m sorry to disturb you so late. In fact, thanks to the guidance of Royal Highness Mich.e.l.le and Ms. Blanche, otherwise I’m still lost in the beautiful forest sea.”
“Sir Richard, please go to the city and rest. Tomorrow morning, Her Majesty Liv will formally meet sir at the palace.”
Chen Rui originally only came to meet Grand Master Finoia. He didn’t expect that a small badge could actually cause such a big movement. He nodded and followed the 2 into the city. Mich.e.l.le was also caught by Patricy and returned to the palace.
At this moment, Ms. Duoduo opened her dim sleepy eyes and chirped.
“Dad, supper! Supper! Duoduo wants to eat pudding!”
Chen Rui helplessly took out a pudding in the strange gaze of everyone while exchanging courtesies with the 2 elders. He put the pudding on his head for Ms. Adopted Daughter to enjoy.
Cheropan looked at Duoduo for a while and revealed a puzzled expression, “That bird…”
“That’s Richard’s bird.” Royal Highness Mich.e.l.le said with her gleaming big eyes, “I really want to touch it.”
Elder Cheropan, “…”
Student Richard, “…”
