Chapter 1109 31. The Elf Court
Humia Garden has a rich history that Annan has no intention of knowing. He is just a passer-by, and it is enough to sigh a few times at the exquisiteness of everything.
In the eastern part of the city-state, a large number of elves and unicorn carriages are parked outside the city.
Annan had always thought that unicorns were similar to white horses with horns. But when a unicorn leisurely stepped into sight, Annan knew how wrong he was.
Its elegant figure seems to have stepped out of ancient legends. A spiral horn extends out, and the limbs are slender and powerful, like a horse or a deer. The whole body is covered with hair as white as snow, shining with a soft and holy brilliance in the sun.
Annan, whose attention was attracted by the unicorn, did not notice a parallel figure walking towards them not far away.
"You must be His Excellency Leoneffa, right?" A young voice sounded.
Annan came back to his senses and seemed to see Olmedo in the past.
The young man looked at Annan again and guessed: "Your Excellency Annan Reeves?"
"Who are you?"
The young man raised his head slightly: "I am Aidan, the prince of the Kingdom of Paem, and I will participate in this grand ceremony on behalf of my father."
The young man named Aidan has a tall and tall figure, with well-groomed golden tresses. His hair fell gently on his shoulders, making him look like a child of sunshine. Deep and handsome facial features, ancient clothing outlined with gold thread.
Annan shook off the confusing thought of Aidan wearing women's clothing and standing with Olmedo, and said with a friendly smile: "Hello."
It seems that Annan and the others are not the only ones on this route. Guests with invitation letters but no delegation.
"Where is your attendant?" asked the Skeleton King.
"They were dismissed by me. Anyway, I am the only one who can participate in the celebration." Aidan said, "Can I come with you?"
"Of course."
Skeleton King hasn't spoken yet, Annan readily accepted it.
Annan is uneducated and the only reason he knows about the Kingdom of Paem is that this country is one of the Thirteen Supreme Kings.
Aidan can represent the kingdom at the banquet, which is in line with Annan's purpose of contacting various forces.
They walked to the group of elves and unicorn carriages, and they had been looking at them for a long time.
Skeleton King and Prince Aidan showed their invitation letters. Annan did not have one, but it was enough for him to swipe his face.
They walked towards the unicorn frame. The snow-white unicorn's back was taller than Annan - it was not that Annan was too short, but that the unicorn was too tall.
"Are we the only ones?" Annan asked.
For the sake of future allies, the indifferent elf reluctantly released a trace of kindness: "Other guests will not come simply like you."
Let the Thirteen Supreme Kings or special envoys come on foot? Annan felt like he was losing his status just thinking about it.
They each got on a unicorn carriage and embarked on the last journey to the Aldo Forest.
The unicorn steps forward, each step appearing light and noble. It moves faster and faster, and finally turns into a bolt of lightning. The scenery on both sides of the road passed quickly, as if flying close to the ground, but it didn't feel bumpy at all.
Annan poked his head out of the car, and wisps of breeze wrapped around him, offsetting the strong wind caused by his wild running.
Looking at the elegant unicorn, Annan thought for a moment, took out the cake from the magic ring, and handed it to the unicorn.
The unicorn turned away. He changed it to a piece of steak. Before he handed it over, the unicorn snorted and the car body shook.
Annan thought about the unicorn's legend about purity and sanctity, so he changed it into a small piece of gemstone and handed it over.
This time it accepted it, avoided Annan's hand, opened its mouth and bit the gem.
Annan smiled with satisfaction at first, and then felt a little pain... This gem was enough to touch Elimoyas several times.
The three unicorns ran along the road and soon left the scope of Humea Garden.
Over time, the surrounding plains gradually transformed into vibrant woods and lush forests. They are getting taller and older, and occasionally there is a huge tree crown slowly swaying and moving... Are those tree people?
Both sides of the road are gradually replaced by towering giant trees. Their branches and leaves are closely connected and gradually close above the road to form a natural dome.
But the depths of the dark forest are not lifeless - the sunlight struggles to pass through the layers of barriers, and can only turn into mottled light and shadow on the forest floor, and illuminate the dense forest with fluorescent plants.
In the beautiful forest where darkness and light intertwine, deer are jumping on the forest path, being left behind by the unicorn.
They are getting closer to the Elven Court.
...Aldo Forest, western entrance.
The elf captain Reinhardt led a team of handsome and tall men neatly arranged at the intersection to greet the slowing unicorn frame in front.
Rustling——
The treetops were swaying gently, and the captain of the Ranger Team, Reinhardt, raised his head and looked at a graceful figure that landed as lightly as a shadow.
"Eliana? What are you doing here?"
"Like you, pick up someone." The female elf who stepped out of the shadows said in a cold voice.
“Whose order?”
“Elder Tedder.”
Reinhardt nodded, stopped asking, and continued to watch the three unicorns approaching from a distance. close.
They stopped in front of the intersection, and three figures walked down.
Eliana glanced over and quickly locked onto a pair of black eyes that were looking around, revealing clear stupidity.
She walked up to them with long legs, ignoring the Skeleton King and Prince Aidan, and stared at Annan.
"Are you Annan Reeves?"
"Hello." Annan did not recognize her and politely praised: "Beautiful woman——"
"Stop your warlock tricks, I'm here to teach you etiquette and skills." Ariana said, about to take Annan away.
"Where are you taking him?" Skeleton King said.
Eliana could not be arrogant to a legend, she lowered her head slightly: "Annan Reeves is a quasi-ally of the royal court. It is too embarrassing to participate in the celebration like this. The Elders requested that he be trained. ."
"Training!?" Annan shouted for help, "Skeleton King help me -"
Skeleton King instead nodded in agreement: "You should really teach Annan how to do it. Be a 'king'."
It said to Annan again: "This is the territory of the elves, there will be no accidents."
Annan was mainly worried that she was from the old school... But no matter how crazy they were, they wouldn't take action in the royal court, right?
Annan followed Ariana. Behind him, a unicorn walked up to Reinhardt, lowered his head and nuzzled him, then lowered his head and spit out a ruby.
"Who gave it to you?" Reinhardt asked, following the unicorn's eyes and looking at Annan in surprise.
……
Annan and Ariana walked in the Aldo Forest one after another.
This is already the outskirts of the Elf King's Court. Treehouses woven with leaves and vines and jumping elves can be seen in the forest.
“What’s your name?”
“Ariana.”
“Can I call you Anna?”
"No."
"What about Ellie?"
"No."
"I know a wood elf elder named Ellie. Do you know her? ?”
“I don’t know.”
"Where are we going?"
Annan kept asking along the way, which was a bit too noisy for an elf.
