Chapter 65 The Elf Queen's Deal

Since the Elf Queen has been brought up, it means there's really no room for negotiation.

Loren sent Liz back to the inn to retrieve the dragon coins.

As a renowned blacksmith shop in the royal city, Loren was not worried about the other party defaulting on their payment.

Leave the blacksmith shop.

Loren went to a clothing store and ordered two dresses.

The price of formal attire is no lower than that of equipment, ranging from tens to thousands of gold coins per set.

Some even cost tens of thousands.

The gap between the rich and poor was too great.

In addition to formal dresses, Loren also specially designed several swimsuits.

The owner of the clothing store was a middle-aged woman.

She looked at Loren's design drawings with a strange expression.

"This is a legitimate clothing store; we don't do these things."

Loren was puzzled. "What's wrong with these clothes?"

The shopkeeper frowned. "These clothes of yours are just two pieces of cloth, some are even just a few ropes. Can these be worn by a respectable person?"

“This is called a swimsuit. It’s worn when swimming. It’s very popular where I’m from. You can make it for me using waterproof fabric.”

The boss looked serious, but did not refuse.

It's a guest wearing it anyway, what does it have to do with her?
Because the swimsuit used very little fabric, and she looked down on Loren's designs, she offered a relatively low price.

The two dresses and several swimsuits cost a total of 3000 gold coins.

"Boss, once the clothes are finished, please send a knight or caravan to deliver them to Sandstone Town."

Having resolved the issues of equipment and clothing, Loren planned to stay in the royal city for a few days.

Two days later, the Aster Flower Sprite outside the royal city will evolve.

Loren wanted to try his luck.

What if the Elf Queen is caught off guard and he manages to subdue her?

Wouldn't that be a huge profit?
Loren and Xuefu spent two days touring the royal city.

The food isn't as good as the food street in Shashi Town.

Acrobatics and plays are also boring.

Xuefu seemed quite pleased with what she saw.

At night, Loren didn't believe the Elf Queen was still watching him.

"Xuefu, the Asters in the Fairy Garden outside the city will evolve tomorrow afternoon. Go and see if you can form a contract with it."

Xuefu was startled. "Why do I have to go?"

"I'm not available right now..."

Loren always felt that the Elf Queen was watching his every move.

If he were to try to contract a spirit himself, he would most likely be caught.

This task can only be given to Xuefu.

Xuefu didn't ask any more questions and nodded solemnly.

Xuefu was extremely excited at the thought of possibly signing a contract with the Great Elf.

The next day, Loren wandered around the city, but then got bored and went back to his room.

"Xuefu has been gone for quite some time now. I wonder if she succeeded..."

A while later, Loren received the intelligence.

[Snowflake went out of the city to the Elf Garden and discovered the Grand Asters Elf that had successfully evolved. Just as she was about to sign a contract, she was caught red-handed by the Elf Queen.]

As soon as the intelligence was revealed, countless fluorescent green leaves appeared in the hotel room, converging to form a figure.

The Elf Queen appeared before Loren in the form of an ordinary human.

A cute, large elf sat on her shoulder.

The evolved Pokémon not only grew wings, but also developed smooth, white limbs.

Like a cute little baby.

Xuefu followed behind the Queen, looking at Loren apologetically.

Loren hurriedly stood up, looking surprised. "Miss Lucy, what brings you here?"

Serusia glanced coldly at Loren, "I didn't bother with those three elf bugs on the East Coast last time, but now you dare to set your sights on the Elf King's City? You've got some nerve."

Loren was speechless for a moment.

Xuefu explained, "Your Majesty, I just happened to be passing by the garden and thought this great elf hadn't signed a contract yet..."

She had already figured out Celucia's identity.

Celucia was too lazy to listen to Xuefu's excuses. "Please sit down, I have something I want to ask you."

Loren and Shirley sat down obediently.

Celucia held out her hands. "Give me the ring."

Loren's heart skipped a beat.

Celucia noticed Loren's worry. "It's not like we're not going to give it back to you, what are you afraid of?"

Loren breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the Elven Ring.

Serusia took out the Frost Dragon Egg from inside, revealing an expression that said, "I knew it."

Do you know what this is?

Loren didn't hide anything, "I know."

"Then do you know that the Frost Lord can sense its presence?"

Loren was startled again.

He hadn't expected the dragon egg to have this hidden danger.

Fortunately, the Frost Lord failed in his breakthrough attempt and was seriously injured.

Otherwise, Shashi Town would be in danger.

Serusia calmly examined the dragon egg.

“I’ll give you two choices.

First, give it to me, and I'll trade you this great spirit for it.

Secondly, you can keep it yourself. The Elven Ring can isolate its aura, but once it's released, the Frost Lord will sense it and could come looking for you at any time.

Loren fell into deep thought.

If, as the Elf Queen said, keeping the dragon egg on one's person does indeed pose a risk.

It wouldn't be bad to be able to exchange it for a powerful spirit.

However, compared to a dragon egg, the great elf is far less valuable...

After careful consideration, Loren made a decision.

"I want to keep it."

"You'd better think this through. If the Frost Lord comes looking for you, I might not be able to help you," the Elf Queen warned again.

Even so, Loren did not change his mind.

The allure of dragons is simply too great.

The main reason, however, was that the frost dragon was extremely unlucky.

That guy has been suffering every day since August.

He was battling the Demon Flame Dragon, besieged by sea monsters, and now he has failed to break through and is seriously injured.

With its luck, it might just die any day now.

Trading a dragon egg for a great spirit now will definitely lead to regret later.

Just a frost dragon?

There is no need to be afraid!

Seeing Loren's firm stance, Celusia said no more.

She put the dragon egg back into the ring and returned it to Loren.

Loren glanced at the Asters Flower Fairy and asked the question that had been bothering him, "Miss Lucy, why don't you make a contract with these fairies?"

Because no contract was signed, Loren harbored a侥幸心理 (a sense of wishful thinking).

If Loren had known that these elves belonged to Serusia, he would never have dared to plot against them.
"All elves are naturally drawn to me; there's no need for a contract."

Loren pondered for a moment, then muttered softly, "Could it be that I'm an elf too?"

Xuefu glanced at Loren silently.

Celucia's eyes were strange, and she seemed about to say something but hesitated.

"By the way, Miss Lucy, how much do you know about the Ice Empire?"

Having the rare opportunity to meet the Elf Queen, Loren decided to ask her for information about the Ice and Snow Empire.

"The Ice and Snow Empire? Why are you asking that?"

Loren stood tall and proud. "I want to go to the Ice and Snow Empire and expand Her Majesty's territory!"

Celucia had already seen through the true nature of the man in front of her.

Their words are like farts; they can't be trusted.

"The climate of the Ice and Snow Empire is not suitable for farming. Even with the blessing of the elves, it is difficult to breed elven insects. If you really want to expand my territory, I can send you to lead more troops into battle."

Loren quickly declined, "No need, I actually prefer to develop..."
