Chapter 246: The International Conference, Dark Elves

"Conference of Nations?"

When Xia En heard this unfamiliar term, his heart moved.

It is not difficult to tell from the name that this seems to be a meeting held by multiple kingdoms together.

Maybe a joint conference like the World Expo on Earth?

If Xia En guessed correctly, the time point of his time travel should be after the [Wrath of God] occurred in [Emerald Island].

In this era, the continent was dotted with kingdoms of various sizes.

Each race also has its own country.

Unlike later generations, the vast sea made communication between islands more difficult.

There will be exchanges and communication between these kingdoms, which is normal.

However, what makes Xia En a little curious is...

Why is the Conference of All Nations held in the [City of Giant Trees] of the elves?

Could this have something to do with the [Husi Ming] who spied on the human world?

While Shane was thinking about these questions in his mind, the suspicion in guard George's eyes became stronger.

Hiding his head and showing his tail, his identity is unknown.

Right now it takes me a long time to answer such a simple question.

It's getting more and more suspicious.

Thinking of this, George silently took half a step forward, guarding the young man behind him, and prepared to leave.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

For a person as noble as His Highness, it would be better to stay away from these two men in black robes of unknown origin as soon as possible.

Shane soon realized that he had hesitated for too long, arousing George's suspicions again.

He originally wanted to avoid these two people, but now that they have been discovered, it is better to simply regard them as the source of information to integrate into this era faster.

As his mind turned, Xia En spoke.

"Yes, we are tourists attending a conference."

"I just happened to see this elven temple, so I came in to take a look."

The noble boy's reaction was obviously a little slow. He didn't notice anything unusual, but asked curiously.

"Then which country are you from?"

Xia En was stunned.

This reflects the disadvantages of not knowing much about history.

How does he know what kind of kingdom there is in this era?

Wait, there seems to be two of them?

One is the Kingdom of Southton, which later became the [Coral City], and the other is the Kingdom of Turin, which has close ties with An.

The former is obviously a smaller country, while the latter is one of the top powers on the continent.

Based on the idea of ​​a fox pretending to be a tiger, Xia En said decisively: "We are from the Kingdom of Turin."

Just like traveling to a foreign country, naming the name of a big country will give you more confidence than a small and insignificant country, right?

But who knew that after hearing the name "Kingdom of Turin", the noble boy's eyes lit up slightly.

"Great, he turns out to be a national of his own country."

"We are also citizens of the Kingdom of Turin!"

The young man's expression became much more relaxed, his attitude became more natural, and he felt like he was meeting a fellow villager when he went out.

George on the side was obviously not as easy to deceive as him.

Judging from the rich experience of this guard.

Meeting fellow villagers is not necessarily a good thing, and might lead to a stabbing in the back.

However, the simple aristocratic boy didn't think so much and said enthusiastically: "My name is Edward."

"This is my guard George."

"What do you two call me?"

Seeing this, Xia En introduced him openly: "I am Xia En and he is Yan Yan."

"Yanyan? What a strange name."

Edward complained a little in his heart, and continued: "I'm from the royal capital, what about you?"

Xia En only knew the name of the kingdom "Turin" and didn't know anything about the country's geography, so he could only speak.

"We come from a small place in the countryside. Sir Edward must have never heard of it."

"impossible!"

Edward said confidently: "I have memorized every province in the country since I was three years old, and I have also memorized the slightly larger towns."

"As long as you name it, I will definitely recognize it."

"hiss……"

Xia En took a breath, he didn't expect this young man to be so serious.

It’s just a place name, do we need to delve deeper into it?

Fortunately, at this moment, George's cold snort interrupted Edward's question: "Master! You have said enough!"

Obviously, Edward's true identity was vaguely revealed in his words.

But neither Xia En nor Yan Yan were from this era, so of course it was impossible for them to recognize anything.

This guard is really a little too cautious.

This just proves that Edward's identity is extraordinary.

Just as this idea came to Xia En's mind, he heard Edward ask in confusion: "Why...Mr. Yanyan, why are you always staring at me?"

Xia En turned around and saw that Yan Yan was really staring at Edward intently.

This surprised him.

During this period of time together, Xia En had already discovered that Yan Yan's personality was actually quite desireless.

It's best to have food to eat and people to chat with on the boat. No one talks to him, and he doesn't feel lonely when he is alone.

He rarely showed Xia En what he wanted to do.

Yan Yan also has a very unique habit of watching the sunrise alone on the deck every morning.

Shane asked him why he did this.

Yan Yan said that during the years he spent on Ice and Snow Island, he watched the sun rise like this day after day.

Otherwise, he seems to completely forget the passage of time.

Xia En guessed that it was probably because of the long period of being frozen that Yan Yan lost the desires that normal humans should have and became a little sick.

Perhaps he could even endure not saying a word for several years.

Go with the flow.

Take things as they come.

This is Yan Yan's current personality.

So, when Yan Yan said that he wanted to burn down the [Giant Wood City] last time, Xia En was particularly surprised.

At this time, Yan Yan's special attention to Edward surprised Xia En, and the same reason.

After a moment, Yan Yan said in a strange tone.

"I think... Mr. Edward, I seem to have seen him somewhere?"

"Huh?"

Xia En raised his eyebrows and realized that something was unusual.

He looked at Edward carefully, and then found out...

He actually thought that this boy looked familiar?

It was strange that Yan Yan alone felt familiar, and with Xia En himself, it made the matter seem a little confusing.

At this time, George hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the two of them warily.

He suspected that the true identity of His Highness Edward had been exposed, and the two men were unclear about who was the enemy. Perhaps, he should act in advance...

Just as George grasped the long sword at his waist.

Edward said: "Uncle George, step back."

"Don't worry, I can see that these two gentlemen have no hostility."

"So... nothing will happen."

The boy's voice was still very young, but with a faint firmness and a silent confidence.

His serious expression was also slightly different from his previous innocent look.

From him, George inexplicably seemed to see the shadow of the man who was in charge of the entire kingdom, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

'Your Highness, you have grown up after all. '

George retreated, guarding behind Edward like a shadow, but no longer interfering with Edward's judgment and actions.

"Thank you, Uncle George."

After thanking him politely, Edward turned to Shane and said, "Let me introduce myself again."

"I am Edward Phoenix, and I am also the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin."

"You probably recognize me because you have seen my portrait in the country."

Yan Yan: "..."

Shane: "..."

Although Edward's words were very generous and perfectly reflected the demeanor of a prince.

But both Shane and Yan Yan knew clearly that they felt that Edward looked familiar, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the other party's identity as a prince.

Edward obviously misunderstood!

Shane's mouth twitched.

He was also helpless. How could he meet a prince just after crossing?

Moreover, judging from the guard George's attitude of guarding him and the ranking of "Five Princes".

This prince's situation is obviously not very good!

Maybe there will be assassins who will assassinate him at any time!

It may not be a good thing to get to know such a prince.

However, Edward was so frank, Shane couldn't blame him for it, right?

Just then.

A shout came from outside the Elf Temple.

"Who is trespassing into the temple? Tell me your name!"

The tone of the voice sounded a little strange at first, and Shane was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

'This is Elvish! '

Shane glanced at the panel and found that [Elf Language (Mastery) (Temporary)] reappeared.

It seems that as he returned to the past, this skill also got rid of the constraints of the present world.

Beside him, Yan Yan and Edward also understood the shout.

As a prince of this era, mastering a few foreign languages ​​is also a compulsory course.

Edward frowned, instinctively felt a little strange, but still responded loudly in Elvish.

"We have no intention of offending, we are just taking shelter from the rain here for a while."

Hearing his voice, several elves walked in from outside the hall.

Seeing these four people, the leading elf said sternly: "Who gave you the courage to enter and leave the Elf Temple at will?"

"Come here, arrest them!"

"Since tomorrow is the day when the Elf Queen ascends the throne, we will not punish you severely, just put you in solitary confinement for half a day."

Hearing this, Shane also vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The last time he passed through the Elf Temple of [Emerald Island], there was no fixed ban on entry and exit.

In fact, there were no guards in the temple before, and anyone could freely meet the statue of the Goddess of Life.

According to Leila, this seems to be a special custom of the elves.

-After all, with the blessing of the power of the Goddess of Life, outsiders cannot cause any damage to this temple.

There are no other valuable things in the temple, even if they want to steal something, it is unrealistic.

So, in Shane's opinion.

The appearance of this group of elves at the moment is a bit too coincidental.

Looking at the elves' costumes, Shane became more and more suspicious.

Suddenly, he remembered the [Eye of True Vision] that Xian Ge had used before.

Now that he had mastered the Elvish language again, could he use this skill?

Thinking of this, Shane did not hesitate and secretly recited the spell that Xian Ge had recited.

Soon, dark golden runes turned in his eye sockets.

He also saw the true face of these elves...

...

...

On the other side.

Edward and George did not think of resisting these elves.

The reason is very simple.

This is the kingdom of elves!

It is a very unwise choice to have a conflict with the elves here.

Not to mention, if you have to count it, they were indeed at fault first.

——Breaking into someone else's temple to avoid the rain and being hit by them, it is reasonable to be punished.

And half a day of confinement is not a serious punishment, it will pass after enduring.

With this idea of ​​​​keeping things quiet, George did not draw his sword and let the elves approach him.

"Is it okay to confiscate this weapon first?"

An elf said lightly.

Although George was unwilling, he did not dare to go against the elves, so he had to acquiesce to the other party to take his weapon away.

Just as the elf's palm gradually approached the hilt.

Xia En behind him suddenly shouted: "Yan Yan, take action!"

Yan Yan had complete trust in Xia En, and punched the nearest elf without hesitation.

The flames directly wrapped around the other party's body.

George couldn't help but be stunned.

Are you crazy? !

Dare to attack the elves in [Giant Wood City]?

But soon, the elves around him seemed to realize that the situation had changed, and directly stretched out the dagger that had been hidden in their sleeves and stabbed straight into George's heart!

This stab made George see something strange.

The way the other party held the dagger was not like the fighting skills of the normal elves at all, but more like the killers he had encountered many times.

'No! They are not elves! '

George immediately woke up, roared, turned sideways, and barely avoided this fatal blow.

But the dagger still cut a deep wound on his waist and abdomen.

George drew out his long sword and chopped off the head of the person in front of him.

And when the man's head rolled to the ground, his skin color suddenly turned light gray.

The whole person's appearance also changed subtly, his temperament became cold, and his pupils turned into a dark blue color.

"Dark elves!"

George's face changed suddenly.

Although this race has the word "elf", in essence, it is already two completely different races.

It is said that in those ancient years, some elves betrayed the goddess of life and were expelled to the dark underground.

In that harsh environment, these elf traitors not only did not die, but also underwent an unprecedented transformation and prayed to another underground god.

From then on, a new group of elves was born.

They named themselves "darkness" to commemorate the past history and to engrave the hatred between them and the elves.

In some people's mouths, they are also called "drow", which means people who return from darkness.

However, compared with this matter and his own injuries, George is more concerned about the safety of His Highness Edward.

He turned his head and looked.

I saw a figure in a black robe, which had blocked Edward's way.

Several dark elves holding weapons hit him, as if they hit an indestructible wall, and flew backwards.

Clang!

At this moment, a dark elf hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared behind Shane, and stabbed fiercely with a dagger in his hand...
