Chapter 263: Avalon
Chen Ran’s trip to Diya City did not last for a few days.
After explaining his plan to Crown Prince Sayven, Sayven’s only comment was not to be late for the trip to the Elf Clan.
Sayven also knew the difficulty of that mission. Although he had confidence in Chen Ran’s strength and brains after becoming stronger, if he really couldn’t complete it, he wouldn’t force it. At most, he would find other ways. Finding the Mirror of Omniscience was just the simplest method.
But after learning about the possible use of that mirror, Chen Ran was determined to get it!
He needed to know a lot of things.
After explaining everything here, and taking away a large pile of gold bricks, Chen Ran finally began his journey to the Elf Clan.
If this trip was successful, he didn’t know what he could become…
Sitting on the magic flying saucer, Chen Ran traveled alone to Ikadan. The speed of those sea ships was not as direct as flying in the sky.
The sea and sky merged into one color, and the field of vision was a vast expanse of blue.
Listening to the singing of seagulls, his mood was much refreshed. After leaving the crowded area, Chen Ran lowered his flight altitude and admired this beautiful sea.
The endless ocean nurtured all kinds of creatures. Looking at the water column spouted from the back of a big whale, Chen Ran, who had never been to the sea in his previous life, felt a sense of comfort. The wishes he hadn’t fulfilled in his previous life were realized one by one now.
He hoped that the road ahead could be more exciting.
The Ikadan Alliance.
This was a country formed by the union of three countries: Iris, Kalimdor, and Danzels. Ikadan was just a general term.
Back then, barbarians ran rampant, and wars were frequent. A great sage prompted Iris, Kalimdor, and Danzels to form an eternal alliance, becoming the largest country at that time, and was known as one of the two major powers on the continent along with the Turin Empire.
After the three countries formed an alliance, they solved the external troubles that plagued the nation one by one, and gradually expanded the territory of the alliance. It was strong for a time. In the end, the three original countries began to merge with each other, and the capital of the three countries was set in the overlooking city in the middle. The country was named after the meaning of the three countries, the Ikadan Alliance. The four leaders of that year were collectively called the Four Emperors.
Ikadan’s political system was not the common imperial system, but a rare parliamentary system, ensuring sufficient fairness. It was precisely under this special system that the country maintained the competitiveness of the three regions, so that the average strength of the Ikadan Alliance was the strongest on the continent. The lively Hero Alliance competition was also one of the products.
Regarding the three regions, Iris was in the north and had some nomadic blood. The high-quality cavalry of the Ikadan Alliance was born here; Kalimdor was the northern region of the alliance, occupying the most land. It was rich in minerals, and its style was very similar to that of the Turin Empire, good at city defense battles; Danzels was the achievement created by Captain Kidd, the pirate king who dominated for a time. Surrounded by islands, it was rich in resources. It also had an invincible naval force. Although he had long passed away, he had become a legend. The existence of Treasure Island made his name circulate for a long time in later generations.
The place Chen Ran wanted to go was the land of elves in Kalimdor, Avalon.
It took nearly half a month. Chen Ran crossed a sea and a large dense forest, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the land of elves.
It was an inland sea continent shrouded in water mist, and the depths could not be seen.
Chen Ran had heard the legend of the Elf Clan.
Avalon was inhabited by the Elf Clan, but no one could easily cross the boundary lying across that inland sea.
In that mist, the deeper you went, the more you would encounter some wandering elemental spirits. They would attack any intruder who dared to invade. The more people there were, the stronger the attack they would receive. They were endless, protecting the existence of Avalon.
To cross, one could only take a small boat, grope in that mist, and always be careful of the elemental spirits in the mist. It was definitely not an easy task.
However, Chen Ran had the protection of that small ornament from the Elf Clan. Releasing that seal could emit the aura of the Elf Clan, so that he would not be attacked by the wandering elemental spirits.
Because of that broken rule, Chen Ran had to make a small boat again to go there.
Avalon was regarded as a holy spirit land, and the outer area was a no-fly zone. If you dared to fly, you would be regarded as disrespectful by the elemental spirits. In the flying state, even the elves themselves would be attacked. Those elemental spirits with no brains and only instincts would not listen to any explanation from you.
After making a small boat, Chen Ran didn’t have the leisure to row it all the way by hand. He directly made a water wave propeller. Relying on the effect of the water magic array, after opening the seal of the elf aura, it moved forward automatically.
Rounds of sea-blue water waves rippled out without a sound, so beautiful that it made one’s heart race. Chen Ran lay on his back on the automatically advancing small boat, letting the boat move forward automatically.
With the map positioning, he could guarantee that he would not go in the wrong direction.
Tens of minutes later, Chen Ran saw some flashing elemental balls above his head, floating automatically and irregularly.
Chen Ran casually detected their attributes. They were all fifth-tier strength elemental balls, wind, thunder, water, and fire, densely packed, and all showed self-destruct attributes.
With the density of these elemental balls, even if a powerhouse of the tenth tier or above came, they might not be able to force their way to the hometown of the Elf Clan. The more people there were, the more miserable their deaths would be. This place was indeed not for mortals.
After nearly eight or nine hours of travel in the magic boat, Chen Ran finally crossed that inland sea area without any danger and reached the other shore.
Chen Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly jumped off the boat, and temporarily put it into his storage ring for use when he came back next time.
Turning around, Chen Ran looked up at the hometown where the elves lived.
Avalon!
At this time, it was night. The sky was full of stars, and a high moon hung in the sky.
The sky here seemed particularly clear, as if it had been specially polished with clean silk. Those stars were like diamonds placed in front of his eyes, feeling as if they could be gently picked off by hand.
The air was exceptionally fresh, and the rustling woods exuded an incomparably peaceful aura.
This feeling was like being on the Holy Mountain, but the difference was that the Holy Mountain gave people a feeling of incomparable warmth, while here it was incomparably quiet, but it also gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Chen Ran let out a long sigh of relief.
No matter what, go in and take a walk first. Avalon was not small, enough for him to walk for a while. He hoped to meet the person he should meet sooner, and prayed that no accidents would happen.
Chen Ran summoned the Light Bird spell, deciding to find the home of the Elf Clan first, and then determine the direction of advance. Relying solely on the system positioning, how long would it take to find it?
Casually rubbing out a light egg, the light bird was made. The light bird flew high into the sky and flew into the distance.
Controlling the light bird to advance at the speed of the wind, the elves liked water, so the place where they lived must be near water, and the trees there would also be exceptionally tall.
With these obvious hints, Chen Ran’s light bird found the existence of the Elf Clan without difficulty.
A land surrounded by ancient trees, with many clear small wells. The water in those small wells still sparkled with brilliance in the night.
The elves’ homes were all in huge ancient trees. There was a small room big enough to live in inside the tree hole.
Chen Ran was a little curious about how those trees survived with such a big hole hollowed out in the middle. This was unscientific…
But existence is reasonable. After all, there was no so-called Elf Clan in the world he lived in before…
It had to be said that the so-called elf men and women were indeed a race of handsome men and beautiful women. They all had long, pointed ears, and their eyes were gem eyes of various colors. Other features were no different from humans.
Because of their love for nature, elves generally didn’t wear many clothes, and they all had good figures, not particularly fat or thin. Their bodies were often covered by a few pieces of fabric in some key parts, so they all looked very eye-catching. Elves who wore more clothes often meant status and showed specialness. Elf warriors would generally wear protective gear like leather armor. As for those with some status, their status could basically be seen from their attire at a glance.
It was even heard that in the beginning, the Elf Clan, which was close to nature, never wore clothes. But it was precisely because of contact with humans that the elves began to cover their key parts, ashamed of the dirty thoughts of humans, and even stopped communicating with them until death.
After feasting his eyes, Chen Ran didn’t look closely at the private lives of those elves. Most elves had very clean thoughts and yearned for so-called spiritual love. Unlike humans whose lives were short and bitter, they would engage in “pa pa pa” activities whenever they had the chance. The vast majority of elves were single.
So, the descendants of the Elf Clan were the fewest on the continent. But because the Elf Clan had a long life to live, unless necessary, they didn’t seem very interested in reproduction…
Looking at the thin bodies of most elf men, Chen Ran even maliciously thought, was the reason why there were so few descendants of the Elf Clan because the men here were generally impotent?
No, many elf druids could transform into beasts. If the elf form didn’t work, why couldn’t they turn into horses, donkeys, elephants, or something…
The above was purely the random thoughts of a bored otaku on the road…
Tired from walking, after confirming safety, Chen Ran found a place and slept honestly. Anyway, he couldn’t get there in a short while, so he might as well sleep first. It wouldn’t be worth it if he was chased as a thief in the middle of the night.
The next day, not long after the sun rose, Chen Ran crawled out of his sleeping bag diligently and continued to head for the Elf Clan.
He didn’t encounter any danger along the way. Chen Ran had thought that there would be some blind magical beasts blocking his way, but unexpectedly, the journey was calm, and there was no danger prompt on the system positioning map. This was too unchallenging.
“This Elf Clan is too arrogant. They are so close to their home, yet there is no guard force at all…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a hurricane broke through the air from a distance. Chen Ran was shocked. A sharp turn still didn’t completely dodge it. The magic flying saucer shook violently, a corner was shattered, and Chen Ran fell directly from the low altitude, crashing toward the ground…
“Damn, I just said one bad word, retribution doesn’t have to come so fast!”
