Chapter 70: Arwen (1/2)

After Paeris left, the Elf Queen kept silent for some time. She took the crystals that Paeris left behind and watched its content.

”Allannia, I need you to prepare something for me.” She called for the female elf commander that was waiting outside.

Allannia opened the door and entered the room, she knelt while waiting for her orders.

The Elf Queen frowned.

”Allannia, I have strictly told you before, that it is forbidden for you to be so formal before me when we are alone. How many years do we know each other? I guess it is over a hundred, and you're still not considering me as a friend?”

Allannia seemed troubled. She knew that the Elf Queen was not the unapproachable and frigid person, she was often referred of. The Queen only passed that image in order to deter people from approaching her, but it was different thing with Allannia. She replied: ”Your Highness, I can't be disrespectful in any way before you...”

”Stop! What Your Highness? Call me by my name.” The Elf Queen seemed really annoyed that the person she considered her only friend, had those customs deeply ingrained on her bones.

”Your Highness...”

”Are you trying to disrespect me by not following my order?” The Elf Queen tone changed a bit.

”I would never, Your High...”

The queen was seriously gazing at her.

”Arwen.”

”Good! Let me be fast at instructing you, since I don't want you to be pressured by this damned aura.”

”Do not worry Your High... Arwen, I can handle this pressure for longer than the others.”

The Elf Queen looked towards Allannia with a judging gaze, she knew it would take time for her to be accustomed with that.

”Well then, prepare that hidden place for me, because I'll need to investigate the situation of the Plague with more attention. There is a possibility that it is already affecting human beings, and could soon reach our Elven Kingdom, so we need to be stricter while allowing any merchants from passing the borders.”

”Why don't you let me take care of that investigation?” Allannia asked.

”No, I'm probably the best person for that, since that plague will never infect me so easily.”

”Alright, I will prepare that place for you.”

”There is one more thing. It is actually even more important than the former.” The Elf Queen threw a crystal towards Allannia.

”I need you to send a trustworthy person to travel to the human territory and invite that male human as a guest participant for the tournament. It would be better to send at least a Mana Control powerhouse, because it got to be fast. If I'm not wrong, the girl with red hair from the image, hails from the Blazing Phoenix Sect, she is the oldest daughter of their Sect Master. She could lead you towards the boy.”

The Elf Queen took a royal crest out of her spatial ring and continued: ”Give him this royal crest, so he can safely cross the borders and reach this city. I won't be able to return before the tournament begins, so make sure to entertain him somehow until I get back. Remember to be friendly, since we do not know the extent of their relationship with that Deep Lake Goddess.”

”I will immediately prepare someone to travel to the human territory.” Allannia excused herself and left to prepare the things the Elf Queen needed.

”I'll need some more sacred droplets. Time to visit the World Tree again.” The Elf Queen stood up and went to a beautiful restricted garden behind the palace. It was the most important area of the entire Elven Kingdom.

Seth felt the changes on the world around him as he was transported back to the main dimension. He found himself standing on the same place he was, before he left to enter the labyrinth.

The fire vortex started to slowly recede, until it vanished. It marked the ending of the event, a definitive ending this time.

People all around the Blazing Phoenix City observed the beautiful phenomenon disappearing from the skies. They kept thinking if they would one day, be able to enter the labyrinth, without knowing that it was the last time they were able to see it.

”Big brother Seth!” Yuyin was waiting for his return together with her father that was sitting on a wheelchair. His aura was still as strong as ever, but his mobile capabilities were prejudiced.

Seth had already put his bracelet on, so his aura was already sealed. He used it in order to not attract too much attention, since with his youthful appearance, it was considered to be impossible to obtain his current realm of cultivation.

”Hi there Yuyin, father-in-law.” Seth casually replied.

Huo Shihong felt his mood sour after hearing Seth's words.
