Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1965 Zhou Xu's Choice
Inside the palace, Wright briefly told Hilke about how he had been corrupted by dark forces.

Normally, Wright would never have asked Hilke for help.

But the current situation is unusual, and it's uncertain when the dark elf forces led by Eredar might attack again.

Out of caution, Light, as the Elf King, must recover as quickly as possible.

Having learned the situation, Hilke naturally had no reason to refuse.

"It's my pleasure."

Even considering that they are all elves, Hilke would definitely help Wright if he could.

Not to mention that Wright first taught him court swordsmanship, and then had him undergo the inheritance trial of the ancient elven tree, so he still owed Wright a considerable favor.

The whole process is actually simple; Hilke simply injects his wind elemental energy into Wright's body.

Both Wright and he possessed wind-attribute constitutions, and Wright's cultivation level was even higher than Hilke's. After the wind-attribute true energy was injected into him, Wright was able to control it freely.

At this moment, Wright did not rush to use the wind-attribute true energy injected by Hilk to counteract the erosion of Eredar's dark power, but instead prioritized restoring his own depleted true energy.

The biggest problem right now is that his own internal energy is severely depleted and nearing exhaustion.

He has no more internal energy, and the dark power continues to erode him, preventing him from recovering properly. This creates a vicious cycle.

Let him recover on his own; it might take him a year or two to fully recover.

At times like these, an external force of the same nature becomes the best help.

Wright only needs to restore his internal energy to 20% to 30%, and then he can suppress the dark power's erosion of himself simply by relying on the natural circulation of his internal energy.

Then, he can recover his true energy while dealing with the erosion of the dark power.

And that's really all the help Hilke can offer.

He had just broken through to the Transcendent Realm, and although his internal energy had increased, it was still limited. Considering that he would definitely keep 20-30% of his internal energy as a backup, and taking into account the previous consumption, the amount of internal energy he could transfer to Wright was very limited.

But for Wright, it was a timely help.

As he channeled his inner energy, Wright's complexion improved almost visibly. He then looked at Hilke, who looked tired, and quietly expressed his gratitude...

"Thank you so much. Otherwise, it would have taken me much longer to heal this injury on my own."

"This is what I should do."

"I'm still injured, so I won't keep you any longer. I'll invite you over for tea later."

Upon hearing this, Hilke promptly took his leave.

Having just broken through to the next level, he wanted to hurry back to consolidate his realm.

He didn't leave the Elf Forest and stayed there, clearly because he was worried about it, but he didn't forget to send a message to the Great Zhou.

However, due to his lack of understanding of the Dark Elves, in his message, Hilke mainly mentioned that he had passed the trial of the Ancient Elf Tree and successfully broken through to the Transcendent Realm, and also briefly mentioned that the Dark Elves had invaded the Elf Forest and fought against the Elf race.

The news quickly reached Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu had already anticipated this when he learned that Hilke was going to undergo the trial of the ancient elven tree's inheritance.

Now that Hilke has successfully broken through to the Transcendent Realm, becoming the second martial artist of their Great Zhou Dynasty to reach this level, Zhou Xu was not surprised by the result, but he could not hide his joy. For Zhou Xu, the more martial artists at the Transcendent Realm level he had, the more relaxed his subsequent plans would be.

Putting everything else aside, just take the Barton Islands, he hasn't forgotten the North Sea Dragon Clan he encountered there.

That was a hidden danger, one that could erupt at any time, but unfortunately, he didn't have a good solution.

Just in case, he went to the Barton Islands to repair the restriction. If necessary, he could control the black dragon of the restriction with his Saint-level cultivation, which should be enough to deal with the situation.

However, to truly put his mind at ease, it would definitely require a powerful expert at the Transcendent Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm to oversee things.

Before this, Zhou Xu's idea was to cultivate as quickly as possible. Once he reached the Avatar Realm and condensed his own avatar, he would place the avatar on the Barton Islands. In this way, he could basically ensure that the Barton Islands were safe.

Now that Hilke has also successfully broken through to become a powerful expert at the Transcendental level, this undoubtedly gives him another option.

However, the dark elves mentioned in Hilke's message also caught Zhou Xu's attention.

Zhou Xu only knew one piece of information about the Dark Elves: when Hilke introduced the five ancestors of their elven race, he mentioned the ancestor of the Dark Elves, who was the youngest son of the Elven God.

The opponent inherited the darkness of the Elf God, and is warlike, cold-blooded, and bloodthirsty.

This personality trait made it impossible for the other elves to get along, so unsurprisingly, they fell out, which led to the split of the elven faction into two.

On one side are the dark elves who fled overseas after being banished by the Elf King Light, and on the other side are the remaining four lineages of elves who continue to live in the Elf Forest.

Having personally interacted with Wright before, Zhou Xu already had a good idea of ​​Wright's strength at the Transcendent Realm.

He originally thought that with Wright, a warrior of the Transcendent Realm, and his wife Yarvit, the entire area should be safe.

But now it seems the situation has changed!
Hilke didn't know much about the situation at the time, but judging from what he saw when he arrived, the dark elf leader was probably even stronger than Wright.

If Hilke hadn't arrived in time, the situation would probably be very different now.

Now that Wright is wounded and the Dark Elves have been defeated, they might attack again at any time.

This made it impossible for Zhou Xu to easily transfer Hilke or Jarvit away again.

After all, we have to be wary of the dark elves, and we also have to be wary of the orcs on the other side.

It's never too bad to be safe than sorry!

Zhou Xu always leaves room for error whenever possible.

Otherwise, if one point goes wrong, it will have a chain reaction and could potentially lead to a major disaster.

[Alright, let's stabilize things in the Elf Forest first.]

In Zhou Xu's view, the importance of the Fairy Forest undoubtedly surpasses that of the Barton Islands.

The main problem is with the Barton Islands; there really isn't a good solution.

If the opposing side sends out a Vajra Realm fighter, it's usually easy to deal with.

The worst-case scenario is the arrival of a Realm of Horizontal and Vertical Realm warrior. If such a situation occurs, unless I personally oversee the situation, I can simply send a Realm of Horizontal and Vertical Realm warrior over there. With both sides having similar combat strength, neither side will be afraid of the other.

When the time comes, if the powerful sea creatures of the opposite sea dive into the sea, what can you do against them?
With this in mind, Zhou Xu preferred to defend the new district and the Elf Forest rather than the extremely passive Barton Islands.

After all, this is related to the future development of the Elven race within their Great Zhou!
