Chapter 201: The Elven Queen (1/2)

As the first humans who set foot on Trinia, the capital city of the wood elves, Edward’s party could feel stares coming from every direction the moment they entered the city.

Though they were not used to the elves’ pointing and gesturing, Edward and the rest did not have any other choice since they were now in someone else’s territory. They were Players and certainly shouldn’t be in a frenzy over such trifles, and so simply followed the Moon Keeper to the Castle of Lilies that stood at the heart of Trinia.

Unlike the tightly defended castles of the humans, there were just a handful of elves watching the stronghold.

“Are the wood elves that fine in character that there’s no need to protect their queen’s castle?” Joe asked Brom puzzledly.

“But of course. We live long lives, why would we perpetrate the same incomprehensible silliness you humans go about?” Brom declared proudly.

Gou Dan knew the contradictions of Brom’s words, and so whispered to the fascinated Joe. “Don’t be fooled by that fellow. Castle of Lilies is alive, and that’s the reason there’s no guards! It would just spring into life and slap any invaders to death!”

“How’d you know? Is that a special power Junglewalker has?” Joe asked interestedly.

“Can’t you see those big words hanging above the castle itself?” Gou Dan replied in disappointment.

Joe looked up and saw that there was indeed a line of green text above the Castle of Lilies.

“Isn’t that just the name of the building? It doesn’t have a HP bar either…”

Gou Dan pursed his lips. “You fool. Have you seen the name of buildings back in the Unnamed Town? In the Lancaster Hideout? Why then would this building have a name? The reason it has no HP bar is because those are monsters, that we can kill and get item drops! Is there any Player who couldn’t help poking at such an enormous monster?”

That made sense.

Joe promptly nodded, having understood it when Gou Dan made his point. Despite the lack of an HP bar, Joe found himself unable to resist letting loose his Divine Earthsplit Blade after realizing that the castle was alive.

Still, despite the general craziness of the Players, they could still weigh situations. As such, Joe did not really try to hit the castle after entering to see if a HP Bar would pop up…

On the other hand, although Brom naturally didn’t know what the Players were thinking, he only felt disdain when he saw how Joe and Gou Dan kept glancing around like a pair of boys from the countryside while whispering persistent to each other after entering the castle.

He naturally wasn’t aware that they weren’t being stunned by the majestic beauty of the Castle Lilies, but were instead discussing something a little untoward for the wood elves.

“We’re inside our enemy’s body from a certain point of view. If that’s the case, we should be able to pierce its defenses even if it’s a drake.”

“My Familiar Spirit can’t break walls inside the castle. But since there are no anti-spectral bounded fields here, this thing had lived long enough!”

“Weakness Sense successful. It seems that the torch-like crystal over there is its weakness and could deal tons of damage.”

“I could aim my Familiar Spirit too. Although its name is green, it’s not really friendly…”
