Chapter 883: Chapter 34: The Egg of the Giant Dragon_2
"My name is Ah Dai. Auntie, you don’t need to give me anything, and I will definitely rescue your tribespeople," Ah Dai said, feeling an unparalleled closeness to the kind and gentle Elf Queen. What the Elf Queen brought to him was a maternal love he had never experienced before.
Yue Yue stepped up to Ah Dai and Xuan Yue’s side, "Since the Death Mountain Range is so terrifying, there’s no need for us to go there any longer. Ah Dai, Miss Xuan Yue, I’m sorry, but our Moon Scar Mercenary Corps cannot join the mission to save the Elves. After all, we still have to live on this continent, with many things we must be wary of. I apologize, Your Majesty, even if you have ways to ensure our safety, we cannot accept your request for the sake of not involving our families." Not many nobles exist within the three great empires of Tian Jing, Sunset, and Washington, but these nobles possess vast power. Being able to hire numerous acquirers from the thieves’ guild to carry out missions, the nobles themselves must have considerable strength, their reach so extensive they could know what happens in every corner of the continent. The consequences of opposing them were not something Yue Yue could afford, and although he wanted to help the Elf Clan, he had a family; he didn’t wish his parents to become entangled.
Yue Ji seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she said nothing, and the atmosphere inside the treehouse turned somewhat oppressive.
The Elf Queen shook her head with a saddened expression, "It’s all right. Everyone has their own aspirations, and you have already helped us a lot. You will still be friends of the Elf Clan in the future."
Accepting this, Yue Yue nodded and left the treehouse, with Yue Ji, Miao Fei, and Wan Li following behind.
The Elf Queen said with regret, "I’m sorry for causing a rift between you."
Yan Shi turned to Yan Li and asked, "What about you?"
Yan Li nodded firmly. Yan Shi looked at him with eyes full of admiration, "Good, worthy of being my brother, Yan Shi." Having said that, he stimulated his internal fighting spirit, and his right hand sparkled with a yellow aura. His hand turned into a blade as he swiftly shaved off all his brown messy hair, and Yan Li did the same. In a short while, they were both sporting shiny bald heads.
The Elf Queen and the senior Elf Envoys watched their actions in shock, and Ah Dai couldn’t help asking, "Brother Yan Shi, what are you doing?"
Yan Shi smiled slightly, "My good brother, the Elf Clan and our Pu Yan Clan have been allies for generations. We can’t ignore their troubles. The most distinct feature of our Pu Yan Clan is our brown hair. Only by removing these hairs of vexation can we avoid recognition and prevent trouble for our tribespeople. Your Majesty, we brothers have decided to help you find your missing tribespeople."
The Elf Queen’s eyes shimmered with profound gratitude as she said with a choked voice, "Thank you, friends of the Pu Yan Clan."
Ah Dai happily said, "With two big brothers joining, our chances have greatly improved. Yue Yue, how about you?"
Xuan Yue was taken aback, then after a moment’s thought, she said, "It’s all the same to me, just for fun. I might as well go too."
The Elf Queen softly said, "Young girl, you don’t have to force yourself. It would be best not to involve your family. If our Elf Clan’s matters cause you harm, that would be regrettable."
Xuan Yue hesitated, then with a smile, she said, "Auntie, those nobles wouldn’t dare to offend my family. Don’t worry. I’m willing to help you." She thought that if her father found out she had offended the nobles, at most he would scold her a bit, and it probably wouldn’t be too difficult for her.
Ah Dai nodded, "Yes, your dad is so powerful, who would dare to offend him?"
Xuan Yue gave him a look and said, "Can you talk less? Auntie Elf, what can we do to rescue your daughter and your tribespeople?"
The Elf Queen sighed, "The most troubling part is that we don’t know where they have been taken. The likelihood of them being held by the Federation of Suo Yu is slim, but the other three empires are all suspects."
Xuan Yue frowned, "Auntie, with such a vast area, how do you expect us to find them? Even if we travel around the entire continent, we might still not find your daughter."
The Elf Queen said, "I know it’s difficult. To help you rescue them, I have a few things to give you. With these, your actions will be much smoother." With that, she turned to the senior Elf Envoys. The senior envoys all nodded resolutely at her.
The Elf Queen drew a green ring in front of her chest with both hands, without uttering a spell. Countless green specks surged toward her from the air around, causing the green ring to flicker with a soft glow. She let the ring float in mid-air, her hands forming a strange gesture in front of her chest, silently mouthing something. Suddenly, the green glow in the air dimmed, shrank, and finally solidified into a crystal clear green bracelet with a faint luster circling around, looking exceedingly beautiful.
With one hand, the Elf Queen received the bracelet, bit her own finger gently, and let a drop of blood merge into it, chanting, "With my blood as the conduit and the spirit of nature as the intermediary, coalesce, Inquiry Ring." The blood blended instantly into the green bracelet, deepening its hue, and the light receded slightly. A red bloodline formed in the center of the bracelet, pulsating faintly. The Elf Queen handed the bracelet to Xuan Yue, "This Inquiry Ring is guided by my bloodline and endowed with a strong spiritual energy. It will grow dim outside the Elf Forest, but if there are Elves within a hundred miles of the ring, it will automatically glow, and the bloodline will guide you in the direction of the Elves. When my daughter is within a hundred-mile range of the ring, the bloodline in the bracelet will condense into a sphere. With this item, your search for our tribespeople will be much easier."
