Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 443 Lana Takes Action Again, One of the Fifteen Kings of the Great Tree Sea, the Flower Crown King Butterfly
After finalizing the arrangements, the six high priests were able to relax their nerves, which had been on edge for some time.

Although the plan to create the truly strongest "8th-order Eternal Angel" failed, the "7th-order Eternal Angel" did not have any problems.

That's right!

They once thought that the "Radiant Archangel" was the highest-ranking angel, but they never expected that there was an "8th-ranking" angel.

Even knowing such a secret.

The Holy Kingdom lacked any faith-based magic chanters of this caliber, forcing them to cooperate with the Holy Kingdom and utilize the power of the High Priestess, Khurat, to perform the "Great Ritual."

and so.

To summon the "8th Order Angel", one must join forces with the Holy Kingdom.

"Those filthy forest spirits!"

"You despicable traitor!"

At the conference table, the voices of two high priests, filled with intense hostility, rang out.

"Don't worry, everyone."

"We have already established a base near Crescent Lake, the location of the Elven capital."

"As long as the Archangel of Eternal Radiance, who possesses power at the level of a demon god, is sent, the arrogant forest elves will be unable to stop them."

Do not!
There's one more major problem.

The High Priest was not so worried; the thought of "that child" gave everyone present a sense of reassurance.

Especially after experiencing this "magic tree incident"!
There were indeed irregularities, such as going to the Tob Forest without authorization, but it wasn't such an action.

The Dark Codex will be completely annihilated by the enemy.

The God Captain will also be captured alive by the enemy, and the loss of the legacy items of the six great gods is incalculable.

Even now, with most of the members of the Dark Codex dying once, and Lord Kerry completely dead, the overall national strength of the country has already weakened.

If it weren't for the existence of the eternal angel with "demon god power," it would have taken the nation several years, even decades, to make up for this loss alone.

"That child..."

The water priest, Senedin, gave a bitter smile as he spoke: "What are we doing now?"

Because of her appearance, the elderly often mistake her for a child, even though she is actually older than everyone present.

"The same as usual."

Chief Vulcan Beneath responded softly.

"...Yes, it also gives her a chance to avenge her mother."

"Honestly, I really want to say something to the high priests at the time: how could they have raised her to be that kind of person?"

"The real culprits are those forest barbarians!"

After the high priests finished discussing important matters, they exchanged a few words, explaining why everyone was so eager to prepare for war against the Elven Kingdom.

It's not just to prevent the possibility of fighting on two fronts in the future, but also because after the "Demon Tree Incident," the existence of the Absolute Death has become increasingly important to the entire Holy Kingdom and to humanity.

"Reconsideration!"

"Reconsideration!"

"...!"

"Reply...to grace?"

Just as the high priests were about to raise their hands to pass, the glasses on the bridge of the nose of the Dark High Priest Maximilian suddenly emitted a blue light.

This situation attracted everyone's attention.

"Wait a mininute."

Dark High Priest Maximilian frowned, quickly stood up, and left the meeting room.

About ten minutes.

Dark Priest Maximilian returned to the conference room.

Seeing his serious expression, the other priests couldn't help but tense up again.

"There is bad news."

Dark High Priest Maximilian made no attempt to conceal his intentions, quickly reporting to everyone present the intelligence relayed by spies within the kingdom:
"The kingdom's first prince, Pablo, was suddenly attacked and seriously injured, but he has been rescued from danger."

As soon as these words came out.

The other high priests exchanged glances, some looking thoughtful, others puzzled, but none of them spoke.

Dark High Priest Maximilian clearly had more to say.

The attack on the kingdom's prince is a major event in the Kingdom of Ri Yesteje, but it's nothing to their theocracy.

not to mention!
Even if severely injured, with healing magic and various healing potions, a person won't die, and might even be lively and energetic again after a while.

Even in death, the First Prince was no ordinary person, but a warrior of considerable strength who could be resurrected through "resurrection magic".

In short, it's not a big deal.

"Princess Lana, known as the 'Golden' of the Kingdom, has been sent as an envoy to the Council of Nations, escorted by a small team led by General Renas and Warrior Captain Gazef."

Dark High Priest Maximilian then spoke, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the conference room.

"An envoy to the Council of States? I must have heard that right!"

"Do the people of the kingdom suspect that the prince's attack was retaliation by the empire?"

"What a joke! Even so, why send an envoy to the Council of States to ask for their help?"

"They didn't just win a big victory!"

In an instant, the high priests were arguing amongst themselves.

This is a very serious incident. To put it mildly, it is the Kingdom giving the Council of Nations an opportunity to interfere in the country. To put it more seriously, it is the Council of Nations, a terrible enemy, having an opportunity to interfere in human affairs!
"Cough cough!"

The Water Priestess coughed heavily, silencing the noise: "First, we need to clarify a few things!"

Why would the kingdom take such action?

"Is the attack on the First Prince related to the Empire?"

"Why was Princess Lana sent instead?"

Three questions were posed, prompting the high priests in the conference room to ponder.

The people present were all at the top of the nation's hierarchy, and were also intelligent; they quickly came up with their own answers to the questions before them.

Chief Earth Priest Raymond said coldly, "These corrupt fellows are probably worried about the Empire's retaliation, even with the emergence of powerful figures like Renas and Gazef who can significantly enhance the nation's strength."

"In terms of overall national strength, the Empire still far surpasses the Kingdom. Once that guardian deity of the Empire makes a move, Rena and her companion will be no match for him!"

“That’s right.” Chieftain Dominic nodded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"The attack on the First Prince was probably not the work of the Empire. It would not benefit the Empire at all, nor is it in the style of that Blood Emperor."

"Was it the work of the aristocracy? Or did the pro-monarchy faction itself have a problem? Or perhaps someone just lost their mind!"

High Priestess Benedict's eyes crinkled with wrinkles as she gave a cold, mocking laugh: "Those fools in the kingdom!"

This is a cold description.

This caused all the high priests present to show their disgust for the kingdom itself.

"The question is! Why send that 'Golden' Princess?!" High Priest Ion of Light asked without any emotion.

This is the issue that everyone cares about!
The title "Golden" is not only a description of Princess Lana's beauty, but also a compliment to her wisdom. In this kingdom, which is riddled with flaws, Princess Lana's intelligence had already attracted the attention of the theocracy.

only.

It was once merely at the level of "attention".

It's not that they don't value it, but because of Princess Lana's status, the other party is like a caged canary or a pretty vase.

"Canary", "Vase"!
This assessment implies that Princess Lana, whether she likes it or not, can only exist as an appendage.

Her only value was probably representing the royal family in a marriage alliance with a high-ranking nobleman.

"Escorted by Renas and Gazef, representing the kingdom's upper echelons in supporting this move—damn it! These idiots have been convinced!"

Dark High Priest Maximilian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his face grim: "That traitor, Renas, has joined Princess Lana's ranks and has now gained immense prestige."

"This 'Golden' Princess has already amassed enough power to attract the attention of the royal family and various noble families."

The other high priests also looked grim!

Cooperating with the reviewing states is not actually a good choice for the kingdom; the most priority country to cooperate with should be the Slane Church.

The kingdom didn't even bother to probe; it went straight to the council. If other members of the kingdom were to push this forward, Priest Nagato wouldn't be worried.

pity.

She is the "Golden" Princess, renowned for her wisdom!
"Considering the worst-case scenario, Princess Lana may have sensed our hostility towards the kingdom."

"Only then will they directly make the choice of 'reviewing nation'."

Earth High Priest Raymond frowned and spoke sternly: "If the Council and the Kingdom reach a cooperation agreement..."

The atmosphere froze instantly!

There was a "bang" sound.

"We must resolve the problem of the Elf Kingdom as soon as possible!" Chief Wind God Dominic stood up and slammed his hand on the table.

—The Great Forest of Ivanshchensk.

Located south of the Aberlein Hills and the Slane Faith, it is a vast, boundless sea of ​​forests, far exceeding the size of the Great Forest of Tob.

Its area is even larger than the entire hilly region!
"Lin Yu Tribe"

This is a forest elf village with about a hundred people, a rather unique village among the many elf villages in the entire Great Tree Sea.

Although the population may seem small, it is actually considered to be a village with a medium to large population among the many forest elf villages.

Elves have a lifespan of about a thousand years. Except for the first ten years after birth when they develop rapidly, they only age rapidly in the last ten years of their lives.

This results in most elves having little concept of time.

early morning.

The thin mist in the forest clung to the leaves, turning into dew that dripped from the leaves along their fine veins.

Snapped.

A slender hand gently presses against the brown bark, while long, supple limbs stand steadily on the branch, gazing into the distance.

"This place is huge!"

Imina's two purple ponytails swayed behind her as she moved her head, and her amber eyes kept looking into the distance.

pity.

Apart from the lush trees, there was nothing else to see, and she suddenly felt that coming here might not have been a good choice.

"Should we go home and take a look?"

The words that man had said kept replaying in my mind.

Imina pursed her lips, raised her hands, and hoisted the strange, box-shaped weapon she was holding onto her shoulder, her eyes fixed on the glass plate above the weapon.

This allows you to see much farther, almost like some kind of magic called "eagle eye"!
"strangeness."

Imina muttered something, a hint of wariness appearing in her eyes. She put down her weapon and nimbly leaped and moved through the forest.

Although this is my first time here.

Imina, however, did not feel unfamiliar; on the contrary, she felt an indescribable sense of naturalness, which she could only attribute to her elven bloodline.

As a half-elf born from the union of a human and an elf, Imina was already accustomed to the different gazes of humans.

Imina didn't actually care whether the forest spirits would also have the same gaze or attitude.

The purpose of coming here first.

It was probably just because of that man and a bit of curiosity.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Imina's nimble, slender figure leaped forward between the intertwined branches, her body rustling softly as she brushed against the leaves.

An excellent guerrilla soldier is not only strong in archery skills, but also in keen senses.

Ever since entering this jungle area, Imina has had a faint feeling that she is being watched by some kind of gaze.

She wasn't sure if it was a forest spirit or some kind of mysterious monster living in this forest!

As we keep moving forward!
Imina's amber eyes immediately noticed that some bright flowers seemed to be appearing in the surrounding forest.

"I've never heard of forest elves liking to grow flowers."

Imina muttered to herself, "Maybe it's just the behavior of some flower-loving fairy."

This unusual situation once again heightened her vigilance!
There is no detailed information about this "Ivanshah Forest" at all, and even the information obtained from that man is very limited.

Imina pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the back of her hand on the glove, where there was a spell called "Magic Mark".

If you encounter danger, you can use magic to activate it!

Then the man will appear.

but!

"Humph."

Imina gave a soft snort, turned her gaze back to the front, and continued forward without slowing her pace.

She won't lose to that woman, Renas!
More and more flowers appeared, and the bright and exotic flowers of various colors gradually began to merge into one, eventually forming a huge sea of ​​flowers in front of the field of vision.

Such a beautiful view!
Imina was clearly taken aback; the fragrance of flowers in the air and the dazzling blossoms made her eyes and mind slightly dizzy.

"poisonous……!"

Imina was always vigilant. The moment she noticed something was wrong with herself, she immediately took out a bottle of potion from the magic belt hanging at her waist and drank it.

The dizziness gradually subsided!

"what is that!"

Imina raised her arm, rubbed her eyes, and her pink lips couldn't help but open, a look of astonishment gradually appearing on her face.

See!

In the very center of the sea of ​​flowers ahead, there is a gigantic, breathtakingly beautiful butterfly.

Its wings are colorful and covered with complex and dizzying patterns; the wingspan alone is nearly five meters long.

On its head is a crown-like structure made of crystal-like flowers, and it lies quietly in the center of the sea of ​​flowers.

Such a gigantic monster!
Imina, not believing she hadn't noticed as she approached, gripped her magical spear tightly, her expression grave. "Is pollen not only poisonous, but it can also produce some kind of hallucination?"

This is a giant monster right in front of you!
It is none other than the Flower Crown King Butterfly, one of the fifteen kings of the Great Tree Sea!
