Chapter 285: The Elf King’s Request
“I am the Elf King Sisas. Are you looking for me?”
“Yes, yes,” Chen Ran quickly responded. “I am Chen Ran, a messenger invited by the Light Elf faction of the Elf Clan. Because of your disappearance, my lord, there have been some disputes within the Elf Clan. So I want to ask you, Lord Elf King, to go back and stabilize the somewhat chaotic elf tribes…”
“It seems a lot has happened while I was away,” the Elf King twitched his eyebrows and said politely, “Tell me about the general situation.”
Chen Ran nodded and began to explain the purpose of his visit, what had happened in the Elf Clan, and all the causes and consequences to the young-looking Elf King in front of him, so that he could understand what the Elf Clan had experienced in these years.
“So that’s it. I didn’t expect that I’ve been here for so many years, and so many things have happened during this period,” the Elf King smiled. “Thank you for making this trip, but I really can’t get away right now.”
The Elf King pointed to the Eternal Tree beneath him and began to explain his mission of staying here.
The existence of the Eternal Tree was the guarantee for the reproduction and survival of the Elf Clan, but it occasionally brought some unexpected natural disasters to the Elf Clan because everything about it was carried out unconsciously.
The Elf King came here, intending to solve this long-standing problem in the remaining not-too-long life, until he later merged with the tree soul of the Eternal Tree, controlling the Eternal Tree with his consciousness, greatly reducing the number of accidental disturbances of the Eternal Tree, and he himself also achieved a state of immortality in a disguised form.
But this plan had never ended. It might take hundreds of years to truly complete the fusion. Therefore, he could not leave the Eternal Tree during this time.
The Elf King’s explanation reasonably sorted out the causes and consequences of everything. Chen Ran finally understood the cause and effect. At least he had a reason to explain when he went back, and his mission was considered completed in a disguised form.
“By the way, Lord Elf King, although we know the whole story, the three elf tribes may still fight for leadership. What should we do about this?”
“Thank you for your concern,” the Elf King nodded. “As for the leader, if the three tribes are truly united, there is actually no need for a so-called leader. If it is really fought for by my daughter and the elders of the other two tribes, it would be better to leave this leader to you. I believe that someone who can be so valued by Famar and affirmed by the beast spirit should not disappoint me.”
“Uh,” Chen Ran declined, “This… after finishing this matter, I have to leave…”
“It doesn’t matter. I believe you can handle what needs to be solved before you leave,” two rays of different colored light gradually flashed in the Elf King’s hand, and two small boxes appeared in his palm, which he handed to Chen Ran. “One of these boxes contains the power of the Fruit of the Divine Tree. It can give you the aura of the Eternal Tree and possess powerful power in the world of Avalon. You can use this power to solve the conflicts within the clan. For the harmony of the clan, it is also right to take action when necessary. As for the other box, it is the Spirit of Nature. I believe you should have heard of the ancient temples scattered all over the continent, right?”
“Spirit of Nature?”
Chen Ran was not very interested in the Fruit of the Divine Tree. It could only allow him to show off his power in Avalon and give him the identity of an law enforcer. But the Spirit of Nature was different. It was a holy relic of the same grade as Lia’s Eye of Scathach (dark gold) and Cheryl’s Heart of Fire (dark gold). The Elf King was really generous this time…
Chen Ran opened the small box and saw a burst of emerald green aura rushing toward his face, reflecting green on his face.
Seeing Chen Ran’s shocked expression, the Elf King smiled. “It seems you also know the preciousness of this thing. Coincidentally, the so-called Temple of Nature is actually a little higher above our heads. I accidentally took it out, waiting to give it to a destined person. Anyone ordinary who eats this thing can possess a trace of divinity. Although not the power to destroy the world, they can also possess unparalleled talent. Now, consider it a little labor fee, please don’t be polite.”
“Your Majesty, you are too polite,” although Chen Ran spoke smoothly, his hands and feet were not slow. He took the box containing the Heart of Nature and put it into his storage ring. “But since you insist, I’ll accept it.”
The little elf loli at the side pulled her eyelids and attacked, “Shameless! Shameless!”
“Fran, don’t be rude,” the Elf King looked helplessly at the little elf loli, suddenly remembered another important thing, and quickly added to Chen Ran, “By the way, if possible, take this gluttonous and annoying little thing away. I believe she will bring you a lot of help, and at the same time help it grow faster…”
“Her?” Chen Ran pointed to the little thing called Fran by the Elf King and said in a difficult way, “Isn’t she the holy artifact of your clan? You just let me take her away?”
“She is very useful, but she is not exclusively ours. After she truly awakened her life, she already possessed freedom,” the Elf King said generously. “A long time ago, I accidentally found a special staff in the ruins of an ancient ruin, which was the original body of this little thing. At that time, it already possessed powerful power. I brought it back to the Elf Clan. Because it can freely change its form and has good power, I used it to replace the scepter representing my identity that I originally used.”
Looking at the happily flying little thing, the Elf King said with a headache, “Until one day this little thing woke up, so I named her Fran, and then my ears have never been quiet. She belongs to a growable energy creature. As long as she eats good enough food and has enough energy, she can keep growing. I don’t have the time to take care of her, so I’ll leave this task to you.”
The Elf King walked to Chen Ran’s side, as if entrusting a very great task. “Take her away, please.”
The corner of Chen Ran’s mouth twitched. He suddenly felt that this was not a very good task. The best way was to refuse outright…
“What! You people, what do you take me for!” Fran stopped angrily beside the two, put her hands on her hips and leaned forward. “You bad people, I won’t go anywhere without benefits!”
The Elf King extended a hand and flicked her gently with his middle finger, indicating that this was a matter between men and the little thing had no right to speak.
“Actually, Fran is very easy to manage. Usually, as long as you give her more good things to eat, she will easily sleep soundly. And once she changes to the weapon spirit state, she can’t come out without your permission, and will never affect your private life or anything. If you want her to do some shady things, just leave it to her. What she is good at is causing trouble.”
“Nonsense, don’t ruin my reputation!” The little elf at the side kept flapping her wings in protest, very dissatisfied with the definition given to her by the Elf King. “I am a little lady, I just love to play!”
