Chapter 307: War, to fight gluttony?
Goulon!
Mo Yang swallowed hard, the sound coming from his throat echoing in this quiet and depressing elf palace, seeming particularly abrupt.
He looked around, and everywhere he looked were intricately carved jades and murals covered in vines.
Every place reveals antiquity and mystery, which makes people feel awe involuntarily.
"Ha ha……"
At this moment, the clear and sweet laughter of the Elf Princess suddenly rang out, like a breeze in spring, but it also added a bit of weirdness to the tense atmosphere.
She raised her hand gently, her fingertips lightly touching her red lips, hiding the smile that was about to overflow, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.
"Rias has already told me everything about you. On behalf of the elves, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yang immediately bowed and responded with a trembling voice:
"No, you're welcome, Princess. We just did what we had to do."
There was humility in his words.
But the doubts and uneasiness in my heart grew like weeds and were difficult to suppress.
"So, two brave travelers"
"What exactly do you want from coming to my Elf Kingdom at all the trouble?"
The Elf Princess seemed to sense Mo Yang's mood swings.
Her eyes softened and her tone became gentler:
"Is it for wealth, longevity, or power?"
"I hope Your Highness the Princess can introduce me to the Elf King."
Mo Yang was about to speak, but Asna at the side beat him to the punch.
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yang couldn't help but feel nervous.
I thought to myself that this ghost uncle was so direct that it caught people off guard.
He secretly glanced at the Elf Princess, and saw that her expression subtly changed a little after Asnar's words fell. Her ruby-like eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, leaving no one behind.
"I'm sorry, but that may be difficult."
The Elf Princess shook her head slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of regret in her tone.
"His Majesty the Elf King is very busy and it is not easy to see him. Moreover, even I cannot decide who can see him at will."
However, Asuna's next words made the Elf Princess's calm expression instantly stiffen:
"What if I say that Gluttony has appeared and is threatening the balance of the entire continent?"
"What did you say?!"
The chains that bound the elf princess danced violently, and a hint of shock and astonishment flashed in her red eyes.
Mo Yang felt a stronger sense of oppression than before, as if the entire space was frozen at this moment.
He thought he was quite strong, but in front of the elf princess.
It’s so unbearable!
He clenched his teeth, and all the bones in his body made slight crackling sounds.
Just when he was about to reach his limit and collapse.
Asuna released his breath at the right time, like an invisible shield, which blocked some of the pressure for him and allowed him to catch his breath.
So domineering!
Mo Yang agreed in his heart, and the desire for power grew wildly in his heart like weeds.
If only there was such power.
Perhaps he could get closer to his goal.
"your Highness"
Asnar's voice was gentle but firm, knowing full well that he had to be careful with his words so as not to offend the young but majestic elven princess.
“We don’t know what kind of sinner the person who gets gluttony is.”
"That kind of power is too dangerous."
If you swallow it, you will become stronger, unless that guy can't protect his own sanity and control his desires.
Then, everyone on the entire continent will die!
The best way is to find that guy and kill him!
While we are still weak.
"call"
Upon hearing this, the Elf Princess sighed softly, and her ruby-like eyes became even redder.
She propped her forehead with her hand, looking extremely tired, with a hint of helplessness in her voice:
"Okay, I'll tell mom about this."
"Princess, the desire for gluttony cannot be suppressed. If you don't take advantage of his weakness..."
Asna wanted to say something, but the Elf Princess didn't give him a chance. First they issued a tenant order.
"You guys go down!"
Seeing the Elf Princess's condition, Asuna said nothing more.
His purpose was accomplished.
However, Mo Yang was confused.
ha?
What's over?
He hasn't even opened his mouth to speak!
Mo Yang knew that if he didn't say something, after he retreated, he might never have the chance to see the Elf Princess again.
"Your Highness the Elf Princess, the war is about to begin"
"Oh?"
The elf princess opened her red lips and her voice was like a clear spring in the forest, but with a barely perceptible chill.
Her eyes were like deep rubies, and under the flickering candlelight, they seemed to be surrounded by purple air.
An inexplicable emotion emerged from Mo Yang's heart.
She raised her head slightly, her eyes piercing through Mo Yang, as if examining every thought in his heart.
"tell me the story"
Her tone was calm, yet it carried an authority that could not be ignored, causing the air to freeze.
Mo Yang licked his dry lips, secretly regretting his own recklessness.
He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound firm and sincere:
"The King of the North Wind Empire is plotting an unprecedented southward expansion"
"The storm of war is about to sweep across the continent"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the Elf Princess curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile, but there was no warmth in that smile.
"For a race like us who live in harmony with nature, war is nothing more than the noise of the outside world."
"The Elven Kingdom has its own way of protecting itself."
“Normally, that’s true.”
"only"
Mo Yang raised his eyes and looked at the Elf Princess, without keeping her in suspense.
"This is just my guess. What is the goal of the North Wind Emperor?"
Mo Yang paused and pointed at the map below, saying solemnly:
“It’s here.”
"Elf Kingdom"
boom!
However, just as he finished his words, an invisible force suddenly erupted, knocking him flying backwards and falling heavily to the ground.
Then the cold voice of the Elf Princess was heard.
"So, you, Lord of the Northern Wind Empire, are here to issue a challenge?"
"How could I mean that?"
Mo Yang struggled to stand up, feeling severe pain in his chest, but he had no time to care.
He looked up at the Elf Princess, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness:
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. I have absolutely no ill intentions in this trip."
Mo Yang did not expect that the elf princess knew his identity so early.
Maybe before they set foot in the Elf Empire.
She knew he was coming and went to check.
Oh shit.
Mo Yang just wanted to curse at those people who said that elves were gentle, kind, and peace-loving.
“I came here this time for no other purpose.”
"Just to tell Her Royal Highness the Princess about this so that we can prepare early."
Mo Yang raised his eyes and said sincerely:
"I want to cooperate with you, the elves."
"For this reason, why do you betray the country you are in?"
Mo Yang neither answered nor denied the Elf Princess's question.
