He kept talking about random things, which made Lin Xueyin feel a little strange.

“Your Majesty, I think you personally received me and treated me to delicious food, so it can’t be that you just wanted to talk to me about the history of the Elven race.”

"Of course not. But since you're here, why not spend a day or two and enjoy the beautiful scenery of our elven land?"

"Well, it's nice, but I always feel a little bad about bothering you like this." He gave a shy smile, which made the Queen pause for a moment.

"It's alright, we elves are quite hospitable."

Well, I guess so. At least I've been treated very well here. But if the experts from various races who have entered the Kerluoqin Forest heard this, they would only let out a bitter laugh.

The elves are hospitable, but their inherent arrogance makes them anything but. They will definitely give anyone who enters the Kerluqin Forest an unforgettable experience.

Of course, this excludes the envoys who went to the Elven race, because they also understood that these envoys might bring them even greater benefits.

“Your Majesty, I think you should tell me what happened. Even if I'm just here for fun, I'll know the purpose of my visit and be able to make some preparations in advance.”

The Elf Queen felt a sense of relief at the little girl's words. Regardless of her abilities, her mindset was already commendable, especially since she was a human. This further solidified the Queen's previous belief.

"Alright, let me tell you. More than ten years ago, for some reason, our communication with the elders of the Emerald Dream began to be disrupted, and in recent years, we have completely lost contact with the elders."

Emerald Dreamland? Lin Xueyin thought for a moment, but couldn't recall any mention of it in the books she had read in the library. It seemed that the existence of this Emerald Dreamland was a secret of the Elven race.

“We tried everything, but we still couldn’t find the cause. Then we heard that you can revive people. I thought you must have some way to help us find the problem.”

"Emmm, I'll give it a try, or maybe tomorrow..."

"Haha, you should rest for a few days. Not only do you need to be prepared, but we also need to be prepared." The Elf Queen let out a light and melodious laugh, which made Lin Xueyin feel like she was about to get pregnant.

"Miss Lin, I'll send someone to take you out for a good time tomorrow, so you can have a good look around our elven territory. Otherwise, later..."

He stopped mid-sentence and instead gestured for the guards to take Lin Xueyin away.

With her mind a bit of a mess, Lin Xueyin opened her mouth, wanting to ask the other person what they hadn't finished saying, but then swallowed it back. She followed the guard out of the inner hall and walked out of the palace along the same path.

The four wandering knights who had been waiting for him at the door were still there, not leaving because of his departure. The moment they saw Lin Xueyin come out, they handed her over to the guard and then led her outside.

Meanwhile, on the streets of the human realm, Aria and some human envoys were hurrying towards the Kerrochin Forest of the elves, her anxious face filled with worry for her friend.

"That idiot Xueyin actually followed the elves. Doesn't she know her current situation? If it weren't for the princess's strong argument, His Majesty the King would probably have been pressured into making her a wanted criminal."

They were supposed to disembark from the airship and rest for a day, but everyone knew they were in a hurry, so they decided to head straight to the elven capital city and get a proper rest there.

Don't think this is to give Arya face; it's driven by self-interest. If they can make contact with that pastor at this time and establish a good relationship, she will provide them with enough help if they really need it in the future. They can become diplomatic envoys. They're not stupid; they know exactly how to choose and how to maximize their benefits and minimize their risks.

“Aria, don’t worry. I think the elves really do have feelings for Baron Lin right now, but they won’t do anything to her until they’re sure. On the contrary, if you can’t maintain your strength, it will be difficult to bring her back from the elves.”

Arya glanced at the man who was kindly comforting her and realized that what he said was true. Moreover, he had already been to the Elven race twice and knew the Elven race quite well. However, she still couldn't suppress her impatience.

"Remember, the elves, due to their long lifespan, do not value time. This is their advantage, but also their weakness. If you lose your composure, it will be difficult to find any loopholes in the elves' defenses. So, please calm down. Baron Lin is still waiting for your arrival."

Knowing how to persuade the girl to calmly analyze the situation, the man wore a faint smile and finally saw her take a deep breath and force herself to calm down.

He clasped his hands in thanks to the man and said, "Thank you, Mr. Urna. However, I would appreciate your help with the rest of the matter so that I can successfully bring Yukine back."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help."

Seeing that the girl had calmed down, Urna nodded in satisfaction. As long as she could stay calm and follow his instructions, taking a girl away from the Elven race would be difficult, but not impossible.

However, Lin Xueyin's existence itself is a problem. If Her Majesty the Queen insists on keeping her, it will be a real hassle. It remains to be seen whether the Queen will turn a blind eye.

However, Urna always felt that this trip would not be so simple, and a feeling that something big was going to happen lingered in his mind.

I hope it's all just my imagination. As long as I can resolve this matter smoothly, I can spend some quality time with my wife and daughter. I promised them that if I can get back safely, I'll take them to the beach so they can see the vast ocean.

Thinking of his beautiful wife and lovely daughter, Urna smiled faintly. Those were his only source of support as he continued his struggle.

The human delegation slowly made its way towards the Kerluqin Forest, raising clouds of dust along the way.

Volume 4: Kerrochin Forest: Chapter 8 The Elf Princess

Although the Queen hoped to enjoy herself among the elves, Lin Xueyin understood that as an ordinary human, wandering around aimlessly would only bring her unnecessary trouble. Therefore, she chose to stay in her room.

Fortunately, the elves had many books in their rooms. Perhaps this is the main reason why the elves have always been known for their wisdom; in their long lives, they always need something to pass the time. Besides research, they probably spend their time writing and reading.

She opened a book written in Elven script. Fortunately, there was a translation in mainland script, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to understand it. Lin Xueyin carefully read the novel. Yes, it was a novel.

It depicts the misery and resistance of people under the rule of ancient demon gods. In the end, the beastmen, elves, lizardmen, dwarves, winged people, and demons unite. Wait, there are demons too? Lin Xueyin read the description of the allied forces with horror. There really were demons.

Aren't those demons just the Demon God's own subordinates? Good heavens, even his own subordinates have rebelled against him. This Demon God is far too unpopular.

With the concerted efforts of the allied forces, the demon god was finally sealed away. However, the demon god said when he was sealed that he would use his only remaining eye to watch over this continent, and that he would definitely return. When that time came, he would turn the entire continent into a land of blood.

I always feel that these kinds of historical war novels are not very enjoyable to read. However, these kinds of novels are quite popular in this world, especially among humans, whose libraries are full of them.

This made Lin Xueyin, who had always been exposed to wish-fulfillment novels, not very happy, but she could only grit her teeth and keep reading.

Setting down one of the not-so-thick novels, Lin Xueyin picked up another one, which was about the great war between the demon race and the beast race and the rise of the human race.

If the preceding events marked the mythical era of this continent, then this novel opens a new chapter. At that time, the still very weak human race took advantage of the great war between the beast race and the demon race to occupy the entire eastern part of the continent, which was then the territory of the beast race.

Surprisingly, we can even see the help of the demon race. The demon race even directly sent troops to help the human race defeat the then-powerful beast race, driving them back from Sunset Pass. They could only survive by forming an alliance with the barbarians and vampires in the northern wilderness.

Perhaps this is why the Orcs have been attacking the Human Empire for so many years; after all, that is their homeland, and they always hope to reclaim it.

Lin Xueyin closed the book again, shut her eyes, and pondered carefully. From beginning to end, there was the tyranny of the demon god and the resistance of various races. But what about the gods? Where were they? The pantheon of the human race, the nature goddess of the elves, the war god of the beast race, and the gods of other races—what roles did they play?

Suddenly, Lin Xueyin felt her head was spinning. This was completely different from the novels she had read before. The so-called God of Light, the born villain, hadn't appeared yet, and she couldn't find any trace of those villains. This made Lin Xueyin doubt whether she was really the protagonist.

While I was still lost in thought, a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "The door is unlocked, come in."

He had initially assumed they were the rangers protecting him, but it turned out to be a strange elf girl with a perfect face and an air of elegance, yet she didn't give off an aloof or unapproachable vibe.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Ah, I apologize for my uninvited arrival. I am Luo Yu Kalansier."

Before Lin Xueyin could speak, she was stunned by another voice: "Luo Yu·Kalansier."

"This is our Elf Princess."

"Alright, let's stop talking about these empty titles. In front of this holy priest of the resurrection lineage, even a princess of a country would pale in comparison."

Princess Luoyu offered a casual compliment to the girl before her, but judging from her shy demeanor, it seemed that her words had achieved some success.

"Haha, I'm just a wet nurse, I can't compare to you, I can't compare at all."

"You're too kind. Her Majesty the Queen Mother said you are a humble person, and she is absolutely right. Her Majesty the Queen Mother asked me to show you the beautiful scenery of our Elf race today."

Sightseeing? Lin Xueyin recalled that the Queen seemed to have said something like that yesterday. Because she was a human, she couldn't go out and had been staying here all this time. It seemed that the Queen had already prepared everything for her yesterday. No wonder this princess came here to find her.

"This is not a good idea. As a princess, you must be very busy. There's no need for you to waste your time on someone as insignificant as me."

With a faint smile on her face, she tried to politely decline the princess's invitation, but since the princess had come, how could she be so easily rejected?

"As a princess, I also have the responsibility and obligation to entertain distinguished guests from afar. My mother is quite busy with work, so I naturally want to help her share these tasks. Moreover, it's a good opportunity to relax while we're sightseeing together. I don't think Miss Lin will refuse."

Um, how am I supposed to refuse? Going shopping and sightseeing with such a pretty girl, I really don't have any experience. When I went out with Irabell and the others before...

Irabel was so cold she couldn't say a word, Aria was practically no different from a boy, and the other two were just little lolis, the kind that were easy to coax.

But going out with this princess this time, doesn't that mean I might be going on a date with a princess? Thinking about the date, Lin Xueyin recalled the games she used to play. The ones with choices were fine, but this time there were no choices, and she had no idea how to speak.

Seeing the girl who seemed flustered by her invitation, Princess Luoyu smiled knowingly and somewhat rudely took her hand, leading her towards the door.

"Come on, although most of our elves live here, we also have our own scenery that you can enjoy."

"Um, well, I..."

"Let's go to my palace first. I have a few clothes that are unique to the Elven race. You can try them on. Then I'll take you to buy some clothes. We can go see the scenery when we get back."

Volume 4: Kerrochin Forest: Chapter 9: Pride

Accompanied by the princess, dressed in the unique attire of the elven race, Lin Xueyin wandered through the streets and alleys of the elven realm. The surrounding scenery gave Lin Xueyin a strong sense of being on a different continent.

"So, how does our scenery compare to that of the human race?"

"Well, how should I put it? They each have their own merits. Elves have their own unique characteristics, and humans have their own style. They can't be compared side by side."

When Lin Xueyin heard the other party's question, she gave her own objective opinion. However, as someone who was used to the urban style of reinforced concrete, this otherworldly style was indeed refreshing for her.

However, it was precisely this novelty that left her with a constant sense of loneliness. No matter how beautiful the scenery outside was, she still needed a familiar home to support her.

When I first arrived, I thought I had found her, but she left without saying goodbye. Even now, when I come out to look for her, I haven't heard anything.

Most importantly, she didn't appear when she entered Sunset Pass and became famous on the battlefield. She still didn't appear when she came to help the Elf Clan. We don't know where she went. Could she really have gone to the Demon Clan?

The thought of Nana possibly going to the Demon Realm filled Lin Xueyin with unease. She felt that the Demon Realm was not as peaceful as she had imagined; at least in the novels she had read, the Demon Realm did not have a very good status.

"What's wrong? Yukine, is something the matter?"

Shaking her head with a wry smile, Lin Xueyin thought that her previous thoughts were still unknown, and she was probably just scaring herself. Perhaps Nana already knew about her situation, but was too busy to pay attention.

However, deep down, she always had the feeling that she would be thrown into the air. That sense of gain and loss was the reason why she left the mountains and searched for Nana everywhere.

"I'm fine, but let's go check out the place you mentioned."

"Okay, wait a moment, I have something for you." Princess Luoyu was about to lead Lin Xueyin to a scenic spot she knew, but then she caught sight of something that really caught her eye. She told Lin Xueyin what it was and quickly ran towards it.

Bored, I waited for the other person to return, but then I heard a questioning voice behind me, "Who are you?"

"Huh? My name is Lin..."

"I don't care who you are, why you're among our elves, or what your purpose is."

Looking at the male elf in front of her, dressed in gorgeous clothes with gold trim, Lin Xueyin couldn't help but frown. No matter who it was, being interrupted before she could finish speaking was extremely impolite.

"I have no particular purpose; I was invited here."

"Haha? An invitation? Our elves would invite a human? Tell me, are you here to buy artwork again, intending to resell it to humans?"

Elven artworks, whether from humans or demons, are considered luxury items. However, the tone of this elven man made Lin Xueyin frown. Even if he came here to purchase artworks, there was no need to use such contemptuous language to mock others.

"I'm sorry, I'm not here to buy art. Please leave."

The male elf and the other elves who had come with him exchanged glances, then looked at the human girl before them with a mocking expression. "Not for the artwork? You humans are getting more and more hypocritical."

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. This was someone else's territory, and as a guest, there was no need for him to have a conflict with them, especially after seeing their clothes. These clothes were clearly not something an ordinary elf could wear.

The other party's identity was not simple. Thinking it was better to avoid trouble, Lin Xueyin stopped paying attention to the elves. Seeing that Lin Xueyin didn't speak, the elves turned and left, bored.

They weren't as aggressive as she had imagined, so she watched them leave with boredom. Just then, a pair of delicate hands gently covered her eyes, and a melodious, clear voice, like flowing water and singing, rang out behind her.

"Guess who I am."
