Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 133 What reward do you want?
There is a bottomless chasm in the deep sea area of ​​the Fairy Sea.

It was pitch black inside, giving it a mysterious and terrifying feel.

The gate to the void lies deep within the chasm.

Loren arrived at this place with Leng Shuang and Bai Xi.

The three of them descended deeper into the ravine.

Loren always felt that countless eyes were watching him from the darkness.

Normally, he would never take such a risk.

Even with Leng Shuang and Bai Xi protecting him, he would not venture into this unknown land.

After descending for an unknown amount of time, Bai Xi spoke up, "Ahead is a huge, dark vortex, emanating an extremely strong aura of void energy. This should be the void gate that Master mentioned."

To save time, Loren did not hesitate.

"Go in first."

To find Vanas, you must enter the void.

Loren had already spent a lot of time searching for the location of the Void Gate, and he didn't have time to wait for information the next day.

Upon entering the void gate, the pressure from the surrounding deep sea suddenly vanished.

The void remained pitch black.

Even using magic cannot provide light.

Loren could only sense his surroundings through his magical perception.

Fortunately, he did not separate from Leng Shuang and Bai Xi after entering the Void Gate.

"Bai Xi, have you found any trace of Vanas?"

Bai Xi nodded, "But she lives far away from us."

"Okay, find her quickly!"

The search for Vanas was not going smoothly.

There are many strange void creatures in the void.

They are very strong.

Even though Loren has been promoted to Sky Knight, he would still find it difficult to match him.

However, in the eyes of Leng Shuang and Bai Xi, these void creatures seemed utterly vulnerable.

The two successively killed numerous void creatures.

Loren casually collected the crystals dropped by the void creatures after they died.

These crystals contain a unique energy; perhaps they can be used for cultivation in the future.

Vanas hid in the void.

On one hand, it was to survive, because if the curse would be used for a while longer, it would completely take Celucia's life.

On the other hand, it was for recuperation.

She was also seriously injured in her previous battle with Serusia.

After all, her strength is inferior to that of Celucia.

Unless various means are used to weaken Celucia's strength, she most likely would not be able to win.

Vanas thought she would be completely safe once she hid in the void.

To her surprise, Loren actually came looking for her with his men.

There are many powerful auras in the void.

By the time Vanas sensed Bai Xi and Leng Shuang's presence, it was too late.

She was about to use her void powers to escape when she discovered that a white barrier had appeared around her.

The barrier blocked the power of the void, severing her hopes of escape.

Looking at the vast white space around her, Vanas's heart sank.

field!

The opponent silently unleashed their domain, and she was completely unaware.

Bai Xi made her move without saying a word.

Vanas hurriedly dodged, finally getting a clear look at the attacker.

"who are you?"

"Bai Xi."

While responding politely, they launched a fierce offensive, each move designed to kill.

Vanas retorted angrily, "I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"

"Bai Xi was just following orders."

Loren ordered her to kill Vanas, so she has to complete the task properly.

Moreover, she and Vanas were not without grudges.

It was because of Vanas's sneak attack that she lost face in front of Loren.

Bai Xi's attack methods are very limited.

She manipulated countless white light daggers, which danced in the air like butterflies.

Vanas was already seriously injured, so she was naturally no match for him.

To her surprise, she had no chance to fight back against Bai Xi.

Even Celia couldn't do that, could she?
Spare my life, and I'll grant you any request!

Bai Xi remained silent, focusing solely on manipulating the white light.

Vanas used every means at her disposal to struggle desperately.

Whether it transforms into a spirit or into the power of the void, it cannot escape the pursuit of countless white lights.

The battle became one-sided.

Before long, her aura completely dissipated into the void.

When a dragon dies, it transforms into a dragon soul crystal; when a dragon spirit dies, it transforms into a dragon spirit crystal.

But Vanas died without leaving any treasures.

All her power will be distributed to the other creatures of the orc tribe with the blessing of the beast god.

Having successfully killed Vanas, Loren retrieved his Elf Insect Avatar.

The Elf Queen is still asleep.

The curse power on her body is gradually dissipating.

The Queen's breathing is stable, and she appears to be out of danger.

Loren put her back into the Elf Ring so she could rest.

The next thing to consider is how to leave the void.

They had been wandering in the void for quite some time, at least half a month, in their search for Vanas.

The void was shrouded in darkness, and finding the way back would not be easy.

Loren could only patiently wait for the intelligence to be updated.

With the daily intelligence, he will eventually find the exit from the void.

“Master, after slaying numerous Void Demons, I have also comprehended the power of the Void,” Bai Xi said.

Loren's face lit up with joy. "You've already grasped the power of the void? Can you take us away directly?"

Bai Xi nodded and drew a crack in the void.

The crack leads directly to the castle hall of Sandstone Town.

Loren breathed a sigh of relief as he instantly returned to the familiar town of Sandstone.

The environment in the void was too oppressive, and he always felt that he might lose his life at any moment.

Unexpectedly, there were many unexpected gains from killing Vanas.

Not only did she obtain a large number of Void Crystals, but she also comprehended the power of the Void.

"Leng Shuang, thank you so much this time."

Leng Shuang shook her head. "I wasn't of any help."

"You go back and rest first."

"Okay, you can contact me anytime if you need anything."

After saying that, Leng Shuang left the castle and decided to go to the town's food street.

Although Leng Shuang hasn't made a direct move, she has provided a lot of help.

Thanks to her incredible speed, Loren was able to reach the battlefield in a timely manner, preventing the worst-case scenario from occurring.

Moreover, she saved Loren a lot of time during their subsequent journey.

The search for the Void Gate and the exploration within it took nearly a month.

Unfortunately, the information provided by the daily intelligence reports is limited.

Loren spends most of his time gathering intelligence.

"Bai Xi, you've worked hard."

Bai Xi shook her head; she was happy to be able to help Loren.

Loren took out the elven insect avatar again.

He reached out and poked the adorable little head of the fairy insect.

It's soft and feels very comfortable to touch.

Just then, the elf insect suddenly opened its eyes, its indifferent gaze silently fixed on Loren.

Loren felt no embarrassment whatsoever. "Your Majesty, how are you feeling now?" Celucia transformed into human form.

She sensed the changes within her body and frowned slightly. "You've already killed Vanas?"

"That's right! Shouldn't Your Majesty give me a reward?"

Celucia raised an eyebrow. "What reward do you want?"

Loren stared at Celucia, his thoughts unspoken.

Celucia scoffed, "How long have I been asleep?"

"About a month."

"One month..."

She was away from the royal city for a month and didn't know the current situation of the Elf Kingdom.

"I need to go back to the capital first; we can talk about the reward later."

After saying that, it turned into fluorescent light and disappeared.

Loren pondered for a moment.

What does "we'll talk about it later" mean?
Definitely next time?
"Bai Xi, what do you think she means?"

"Bai Xi doesn't understand these things."

She only knew how to obey Loren's orders; she knew nothing else.

Many things happened in the Elf Kingdom during Celucia's absence.

Many battles broke out, especially along the borders of the kingdom.

Rumors have been circulating both domestically and internationally that Queen Celestia has perished.

Therefore, the surrounding forces, especially the orc tribes, kept sending troops to probe.

Recently, their behavior has become increasingly rampant.

Because the Elf Queen has not yet appeared.

The rumors are very likely true!

The people of the Elf Kingdom were filled with dread.

If the Elf Queen were to perish, all the kingdom's territories would surely be invaded.

The situation escalated, and the Elf Queen finally appeared.

Her appearance greatly boosted the morale of the Elf Kingdom's army.

After several moves, they forcefully forced the enemy to retreat.

The enemy's probing has come to an end.

However, the Elf Queen's actions were not yet over.

She led her troops and arranged for the lords of the Elf Kingdom to fight, conquering the territories of the Troll race and the Undead Kingdom.

Such a strong move completely dispelled the enemy's suspicions.

Two months later, the war ended.

The Elf Queen was unharmed, and the Elf Kingdom returned to peace.

However, the nobles in the kingdom's upper echelons knew very well that something must have happened to Celucia before.

She may have really encountered some misfortune.

Although they eventually escaped danger, everyone was still shaken.

If Celucia really dies, their fate will be quite tragic.

After a resounding victory, Serusia held a new investiture ceremony.

Nobles from all over the Elf Kingdom gathered in the royal city, and Loren was no exception.

This ceremony has little to do with him.

He has only just been promoted to earl; it's impossible for him to be nominated for dukehood so quickly.

His battlefield achievements were clearly insufficient.

Although they successfully rescued the Elf Queen, this matter must not be known to anyone else.

Knowing that the Queen nearly died would only cause unease among the residents.

However, the Elf Kingdom said they would reward him, so they would at least allocate him some territory.

Especially the Land of the Dead, which is relatively close to the Elven Earl's territory.

Although Loren would prefer Celucia to repay him with her body rather than grant him territory...

Loren brought Xuefu and Hela with him to this grand ceremony.

As usual, he and Loris first gathered at Lorton's house, and then headed to the royal city together.

"I don't know where those rumors came from a while ago, but they actually said that Her Majesty the Queen had died. Those who spread these rumors should all be executed!"

Loris looked furious.

Apart from Loren, Leng Shuang, and Bai Xi, no one else knew that the Elf Queen had narrowly escaped death.

Even Xuefu and Hela were unaware of it.

They only knew that Loren had gone on a long trip some time ago, but they didn't know the purpose of his trip.

"I heard that Her Majesty the Queen has conquered another large territory. I wonder if my elder brother will be promoted to earl this time."

Lorton shook his head. "There won't be any new earldoms this time, and even if earls are conferred titles, it won't be your turn."

The capture of the Undead Kingdom and the Troll territory this time has little to do with the Silvermoon Earl's territory.

Therefore, Lord didn't even qualify for a nomination.

Moreover, Celucia had no intention of dividing the new earldoms; she planned to divide the conquered lands among the three duchies and the earls of Loton and Loren.

However, it depends on the military achievements and the development of the territory.

Many nobles had the opportunity to be promoted to a higher rank.

Loren didn't want to give up this nomination opportunity either.

He decided to nominate Shirley and Liz for viscountship, and Hela and Bai Xi for baronship.

Hela, his wife, has made outstanding contributions to trade between the Elf Kingdom and the Sea-dwelling Territory, and is certainly destined for promotion.

Bai Xi is key to saving Serusia; even if she weren't a resident of the Elf Kingdom, she should still be able to be granted the title of Baron.

As for Shirley and Liz, their contributions might not be enough...

who cares!
Let's nominate him first!
Loris is already a viscount, and the next rank above her is an earl, so Loren is not qualified to be nominated.

During the investiture ceremony, the dragon spirit announced the list of nobles to be promoted.

All of Loren's proposed promotions were approved.

really!

Serusia is reasonable.

The investiture ceremony concluded, and the grand event drew to a close.

Duke Guangyu stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, there have been rumors circulating in the Elven Kingdom recently, claiming that Your Majesty nearly met with misfortune. Is this true?"

Serusia did not speak.

The entire magic and martial arts training ground erupted in an uproar.

"Could those rumors be true? Did His Majesty really narrowly escape death?"

"Impossible! Her Majesty conquered the Undead Kingdom and the Troll race in one fell swoop, how could she possibly have been murdered?"

"Who knows? There's no smoke without fire. Rumors were flying around during that time, but Her Majesty didn't come forward to explain, which already speaks volumes."

"Since Your Majesty has not answered, it is probably true."

The discussion continued until Celucia finally spoke up, "So what does Duke Guangyu want to say?"

Duke Guangyu bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty, your injuries have not yet fully healed. I implore Your Majesty to sign an elf contract as soon as possible to recover from your injuries and avoid facing another crisis."

The benefits of the spirit contract are particularly evident for the spirits.

For example, a newly born spirit insect is very likely to die if it does not have a contract.

Once the contract is signed, the plant can develop normally, and with good luck, it can even evolve successfully.

The stronger the contractor, the more obvious this benefit becomes.

The main reason why Celucia has never signed a contract is because there is no need for it.

She is strong enough that she doesn't need any help from her contractors.

Moreover, no one in the Elf Kingdom is worthy of her.

However, the Queen's murder caused unease among everyone, especially since Duke Guangyu guessed that Celucia was not in good condition.

If, during this period, the enemy nation launches a full-scale attack on the Elf Kingdom, the Elf Kingdom will be in a very unfavorable situation.

If Celucia could form a contract with a powerful knight, her injuries would heal quickly.

Celucia did not respond to Duke Guangyu's proposal for a long time.

Subsequently, not only Duke Guangyu, but also the nobles of the Magic Arena expressed their hope that Celucia would prioritize the safety of the kingdom.

That's why they made that suggestion.

Of course, there were other motives involved as well.

If you can sign a contract with the Elf Queen, you will not only win her heart, but also enjoy the same rights as the Queen.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to becoming the second king of the Elf Kingdom?

Even if there's only the slightest chance, they will fight for it!

Especially the Sky Knights from the three major duchies present, they believed they were the most likely to sign a contract with the Queen!
