Chapter 2404: Freeloaders

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The news of the queen and Helena's death after fighting with the unknown creature, and Sally becoming the new elven queen, quickly spread all over the Norland Continent. It sent shockwaves through all the races.

The shadow of the Great Old Ones was still looming over them. All the races were still very afraid and wary of the devil.

However, fortunately, the conclusion of this news was: Alex arrived at the critical moment and killed the monster!

"Darn it. He got to it again." Rankster, who was sitting on the Frost Throne, shattered the info jade stone in his hand with a smile.

"We need to talk to Alex and Irina about this matter. Where did such a powerful monster come from and what was its motive? We need to find out more about them," Douglas said with a grave expression.

!!

All the Frost Dragons' elders agreed with a worried expression.

The elven queen and Helena were both top powerhouses who had experienced the racial war. They were also the leaders of the elves in the past hundreds of years.

Their deaths weren't just a huge matter within the elven race, it was also a huge matter in the entire Norland Continent.

Rankster said in a low voice, "I'll go to Chaos City personally."

***

Chaos City, the city lord's castle's meeting room.

"How's the situation in the elven race now?" Michael asked Rolan solemnly.

"It's still stable overall. The new queen had grasped control of the Wind Forest before her ascension. Currently, the borders are already sealed and the Wind Forest has entered into a state of emergency," Roy answered and passed the info to Michael at the same time. "Irina's support for the new queen has greatly stabilized the elven race."

Michael scanned through it quickly before lamenting. "I didn't expect Helena to let go at the end. It wasn't an easy decision for her."

"After the elven race's situation stabilized, perhaps we can consider building a rail road to Wind Forest now," Rolan smilingly said.

***

The Demon Islands, the Abyss.

"It's a rare period of weakness for the elven race. It's a pity that we have already signed the peace accord and there's Alex, that nosey fellow, otherwise, our unaccomplished deed back then would have a chance."

"Both the elven queen and Helena that witch are dead. It's indeed a rare chance. What a pity. What a pity!"

***

"In the elves' legends, they will turn into a leaf on the Tree of Life after they die. Now that the Tree of Life is gone, what do you think they will turn into?"

On the balcony, Irina gazed at the starry sky with a row of finished wine bottles next to her and softly asked this question.

Mag thought for a moment. He really couldn't say something like turning into stars to Irina, so after a moment of silence, he said, "Perhaps,some elves don't leave even after they die. They may continue to protect that forest and their people."

Irina turned around to look at him with indignation on her slightly flushed face. "They were already tired enough when they were alive. Can't we let them relax after they die?"

Mag was speechless. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Looking at it now, they most probably became a tree and a vine."

"You also think that they have turned into a tree and a vine?" Irina smiled. There was a hint of real joy in her smile.

"When I was young, Royal Mother always told me stories and taught me magic under the Tree of Life. Back then, I didn't think Helena was bad. I even thought that her crystal ball was very interesting and the Starry Sky Magic was amazing. I wanted to learn it, but I couldn't master it…"

Mag looked at Irina, who was sitting at the edge of the balcony, and talked about stories that were hidden in the depths of her memories. Her slender legs were swinging over the balcony. The atmosphere wasn't too sad. The moonlight lit up her profile and she looked just like a normal girl who was reminiscing about her childhood memories.

Only the insects' calls intertwined with her light voice in the quiet night.

After telling the stories, she picked up the red wine bottle and gulped down the remaining half. She burped and then fell into Mag's arms, drunk.

"So, a fairy has troubles and can get drunk too." Mag picked her up and went downstairs.

About 10 minutes later, Mag returned to the balcony and smilingly said to Xi, who suddenly appeared, "Have you brought the new core?"

Xi looked into Mag's eyes, as though she wanted to see through him. She calmly said, "You should know that having such an incompatible item isn't necessarily a good thing to the Norland Continent."

"I also know that being an obedient little rabbit is worse," Mag smilingly said.

"I have already reported this information. My superiors may send a law enforcement team to investigate. Before that, I hope that you can give the mech to me and this thing will have nothing to do with you."

Mag wasn't surprised that Xi had already reported that matter. He wasn't so narcissistic that he believed a few dishes could bribe a professionally-trained soldier.

"You seem to be mistaken about something. The current incident is that someone from your Underground City has sneaked over to the Norland Continent and killed the elves' queen, high priestess and dozens of elves.

"If you guys cannot guarantee that such an incident will never happen again, then Underground City is a deadly time bomb to the Norland Continent. All the races on the Norland Continent have the right to know about your existence and take necessary precautions," Mag said to her with a serious expression.

Xi looked at him quietly and shook her head. "I can't make those guarantees to you."

"Then, get the person who can, to come," Mag replied truthfully.

"And this. You can bring it with you." Mag took the nuclear core out from the mech and placed it on the ground.

Xi took out a storage box to store the nuclear core and turned to leave.

"Do you want to have a drink before you go?" Mag's voice came from behind her back.

Xi's footsteps obviously faltered before continuing to walk ahead.

"There is red braised pork stewing in the pot. Seems like I have to eat it alone," Mag faintly said.

Xi turned around and said to him, "You know that you're not able to get me drunk."

"Only a bad man will want to get a woman drunk. I have a wife and children. I won't do such a thing." Mag waved his hands.

A yellow earthenware stove with red charcoal burning. The red braised pork was stewing in an earthenware pot. Two plates of cold dishes, a big jug of beer and two people sitting across from each other.

Mag looked at Xi, who was munching on the red braised pork and had finished a bowl of rice shortly, and smilingly said, "You never had such delicious meat in Underground City before?"

Xi put down her bowl gracefully and said to Mag, "Underground City also has a rich and unique cuisine."

"When someone doesn't answer the question, it means that the question has hit the bull's eye," Mag said with a smile.

Xi scooped another bowl of rice for herself and continued to eat. She didn't intend to answer Mag's question.

"I say, did you deliberately not eat dinner before you came to the restaurant? Did you already decide to have your dinner here?" Mag suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"You invited me for dinner," Xi answered faintly.

"How can the people now sound so righteous when they are freeloading on others?" Mag shook his head and sighed.
