Chapter 590: The Stubborn Elven King
"Your Majesty, we have arrived. This is the World Tree on Mount Creation. That is the second World Tree in the world that Young Master Watson had cultivated."
Allen"s words were filled with admiration for Watson.
"I can"t believe that Watson can create a deep-sea submarine and also grow a World Tree!" The Elven King clicked his tongue. He had never heard that a World Tree could be obtained through cultivation. Otherwise, the elves would not be the only ones in the world to have a World Tree. In ancient times, some G.o.ds cultivated the World Tree. Perhaps Watson"s cultivation method had been pa.s.sed down from ancient times. When he had time, he would ask Watson for the formula so that the method would not spread and affect the elves.
As he pondered, the Elven King heard Allen continue to say, "Your Majesty, which World Tree is better, this one or the one in the Elven Kingdom?"
"Of course, our World Tree is more powerful. After all, it has been pa.s.sed down from ancient times. It is not something this World Tree can compare to."
The Elven King refuted calmly, but he thought differently.
The world tree in front of him was full of vitality. It was completely different from the one in the Elven Kingdom. Countless types of sun and moon fruits were hanging on the tree"s thick branches—there were roughly hundreds of thousands of them. In comparison, the number of sun and moon fruits on the World Tree in the Elven Kingdom was only a few hundred.
Those fruits would only ripen after being watered by the Spring of Life for nearly a thousand years. They were essential items to test the quant.i.ty and quality of the Spring of Life"s water. The World Tree in front of them could nourish so many sun and moon fruits. That proved that it was not the same as the Elven Kingdom"s World Tree.
"I have to be calm. I can"t appear too surprised."
He could not show his thoughts on the surface. After all, the Elven King was the leader of the elven race and the elf who would inherit that mountain in the future. If he showed his shock in front of those humans, it would be too demeaning.
"Your Majesty, this World Tree is obviously much better than ours! Our tree can not bear so many sun and moon fruits."
An honest elf exclaimed as he pointed at the world tree in front of him while he was thinking.
As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva. "I have never tasted the sun and moon gems from our tree. This World Tree bears so many fruits. It should be fine for me to taste one."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you mean ours don"t have the same fruits? It does have the sun fruit and the moon fruit. Aren"t they common fruits in our kingdom? Don"t act so ignorant!"
The Elven King turned around and slapped the drooling elf. He pretended to be serious.
Holding his red and swollen cheek, the elf looked aggrieved. He knew that the Elven King was spouting nonsense to protect his dignity. He was unhappy, but he did not dare to show it.
"Please don"t be so angry, Your Highness. The World Tree of Mount Creation may not be as good as the elves. It just so happens that the sun and moon fruits on our tree have matured. Everyone, why don"t you have a taste? Perhaps they have a different taste than the two fruits in your kingdom."
Allen saw through the Elven King"s pretentious mentality and deliberately did not expose him. He smiled and reached out his hand. A strong wave of combat aura spread out from his hand and turned into a hurricane that swept some sun and moon fruits down. He distributed them to every elf.
Looking at the fruits in their hands and smelling the fruits" fragrance, the elves swallowed their saliva and stared at them.
One of the elves could not resist the desire in his heart and took a bite of the fruit. He ate the sun fruit, and the unique fragrance of the fruit entered his stomach, causing all the hair on his body to stand while his limbs and bones became relaxed. The overly delicious flavor ignited his taste buds and made him close his eyes comfortably.
"That is the sun fruit. It blooms in a thousand years, bears fruit in a thousand years, and ripens in a thousand years. It tastes like the sun. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious fruit."
After they arrived at the Holy Dragon Kingdom, they tasted the sun fruit wine that Watson had brought from the capital. The wine was very delicious, but it was different from tasting the actual fruit. Since the sun fruit wine was the product of a sun fruit diluted many times, it did not move them as much.
The Elven King had brought them to the Dragon Palace from the fortress city. Initially, they were troubled by the fact that they could not eat the magical beast"s meat and drink the sun fruit wine. However, their concerns had been put to the back of their minds, and they began to thank the Elven King instead. If the Elven King had not brought them to the border, they would not have been able to taste such delicious food.
Some elves grabbed the sun fruit and stuffed it into their mouths. They did not even dare to waste any juice in the fruit. They stuck out their tongues and licked the juice that flowed out of their lips before they dared to speak. "This is the taste of the sun fruit? I think I will never forget this taste in my life."
Some of the elves were even more exaggerated—they had shed tears. Even the Elven King fell silent after eating the sun fruit. As the king of the elves, he had eaten the fruit before. However, the sun fruit he tasted was on a completely different level from the one he had just eaten. The sun fruit he had eaten was at least ten times more delicious than the one he had eaten before that.
"Everyone, eat slowly. We have many more."
Allen"s words interrupted the elves who were enjoying themselves. The Elven King snapped back to his senses and quickly stuffed the two fruits in his hands into his mouth. "Well, even though the World Tree that you have grown does not look as good as ours, the sun fruit and moon fruit still taste pretty good."
"It"s too delicious." The honest elf, who had just been beaten up, spoke honestly again.
Just as the elves praised the sun and moon fruits, a few residents with baskets suddenly flew from the sky and arrived behind the World Tree. One of the residents reached out and picked a sun fruit and put it into his mouth.
"This sun fruit is not ripe yet. It"s sour and astringent. It seems like this batch of fruits is not ready yet. We can"t use the Wish for the World ring to duplicate it and store it in the spiral staircase in the sky. Let"s wait for a while before coming back."
Spitting out the sun fruit, the residents flew away at an even faster speed.
The elves enjoying the sun fruit and the moon fruit were all stunned.
"These fruits are not ripe? Is it true?" The Elven King muttered in a voice that only he could hear. He felt like those fruits were tastier than the ones in his kingdom. If those were unripe, it was hard to imagine how good they would be when they ripened.
The Elven King"s heart was filled with disbelief. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked in front of the elven soldiers, knocking over the sun and moon fruits in their hands. "Stop eating! I thought those fruits were not bad when I took the first bite, but now I feel like those fruits were not ripe when I took the second bite. The taste is far from what our fruits taste like!"
