These elves are really full of doubts about everything... No wonder they have to interrupt trade with humans, because they are worried that the dark elves and humans will form an alliance to act together... It must be said that the comment that Cosbody said at the beginning, "Elf are unpredictable creatures" is really correct. The cognitive gap between races is so big.

"Vilino, what I want to say is...I have been traveling in the human kingdom before." Ashu Rufate changed his tone. "At least I can be sure of two things. The first is that humans cannot launch a large-scale invasion on us at all, and the second is that they will not send their baby dragons at all."

"but……"

"I can guarantee this. My promise should give you some confidence."

"Your Highness, you are so serious." Since Ashu Ruffatt said that, Verino had no choice but to answer like this.

"That's it, Verino, you can arrange things. And in my opinion, your cruise can wait first. I have something to do."

"Please give me instructions," said Verino.

"I want to go to...the Emerald Court," said Ash Rufate. "I heard them say you were a traveler and explorer before. I think if you were to lead the way, it would greatly reduce the time required for this trip."

"Your Highness, if you are advised by me, I suggest you borrow a flying mount. For example, the princes in several territories north of us seem to have giant eagle mounts. If you can borrow one, you only need one day, at most no more than two days to reach the Emerald Court, and you don't need to travel on the ground."

"This..." Ashu Rufate immediately covered up his embarrassment. "On the one hand, I don't want to bother my neighbors, and on the other hand, I hope this is an orthodox request, and I need several entourages."

"Your Highness, I'll ask you a risky question, what's wrong with asking for the Emerald Queen?" Verino was not stupid and immediately guessed the goal of Ashrufate. "If you are to prove your bloodline and origin, there is no need to be such a problem. You just need to publish your bloodline to the public. All subjects who have doubts about your bloodline will naturally proofread your bloodline. If you think this method is inappropriate, you can also use magic communication to verify with the Emerald Queen. Although an orthodox interview is in line with etiquette, it is time for war, and everyone will agree to your expedient treatment. I think no one, including the Phoenix King, will object to this."

It must be said that Verinor guessed almost right, almost.

"My bloodline..." said Ashurufat. "Actually, I have some special reasons in this regard, which is not convenient to tell you now. Verino, to be honest, I don't want to be a ruler of Ereb here. I came back on your ship that day not only for Ereb, but also for the war that swept across our kingdom, and for the large-scale invasion of our evil cousins!"

"Very good, master, that's it. It's all, muddying the water, making it true and real, so that he can't guess it thoroughly." In his mind, Carrie suddenly said. "What you said is very sensitive, and it's better to solve it as soon as possible. Time will give birth to suspicion, just like a dung pile will give birth to flies."

"Carrie, you told me not to try this way just now." Ashu Rufate asked in his mind.

"The key to details lies in the details. It is not wrong to meet the Emerald Queen itself, but my opinion is that you must meet the Emerald Queen while ensuring your safety. No matter what the result is, you will not endanger your life. Master, I have to say that although Mimilu is very important to you, she is an ordinary person with limited life. It is really not worth it to use your immortal life to risk saving her...."

"I know if it's worth it!" Ashu Rufate yelled in his mind, and Carrie didn't say anything.

"Your Highness, I don't really understand what you mean." Verino naturally didn't know the conversation between Carrie and Ashu Rufate. He pondered for a moment and replied.

"That's why I'm going to meet the Emerald Queen," said Ash Rufate. "You'll understand then."

"But your departure will put Eriber in danger." Villino replied that the tragedy that Prince Berland had encountered before should not have happened a second time. "We mainly rely on sea transportation, and it takes too long to get reinforcements..."

"I know, that's why I need you to lead the way. I want to save every minute."

Verino looked at Ashu Rufate head-on. He saw that the determination in the prince's eyes was unshakable, so he could only sigh. "Your Highness, if you really decide this..."

"I've decided." Ashu Rufate replied.

...

The dark room was filled with a sweet fragrance that made people feel dizzy.

Time is not late at night. The reason why the room is so dark is that every window, every door, and every gap is covered by black fabric. At this moment, the room is almost unable to see its five fingers. There is only a square object in the center of the room, which flashes from time to time, reflecting each other's existence in the eyes of everyone in the room.

A pair of hands pressed on this wonderful square object.

"...The dark creatures disguised as our compatriots..." Someone chanted in a low voice in a nearly dreamy tone. "He lives in the darkness... His power comes from ancient times...extremely powerful... He is an immortal creature...but he does not rely on his own power to survive...but needs to absorb the source of life of other creatures..."

"... He relies on lies and tricks... into our fellow countrymen... destroy... killing... darkness... blood... death... these are what he desires... I saw... I saw... he grinned... revealing his sharp fangs in the dark..."

"What is he?" someone else suddenly asked. The questioner's voice was clear and loud, completely different from the speaker just now. "Why did he come? What was he going to do?"

"...I don't know his purpose...I don't know what he wants, nor how he will act... But he... has an unimaginable evil force... At this time of war, his arrival, I don't know whether it is a disaster or good fortune for our clan... His hostility is to us... or our evil cousin...I don't know where he is, and I don't know what he is doing... But hiding is only temporary... He does have something to do... He must show his authority and power... But he will... always wear a mask and disguise himself as our fellow countrymen..."

"So what exactly is he?"

"...No clear name... His race name has long disappeared with the obliteration of dark knowledge, and no one knows... He is the strong man in their race... and the last member of their race... Humans call him a vampire..."

The sound fell down and turned into a breath that seemed quite painful.

"Enough!" someone said, "Stop. Open the curtains." With this sentence, the window that was originally sealed with black fabric was suddenly opened, and the dazzling sunlight instantly shot into the room from outside the window, driving out the darkness.

Now we can see that there are four elves in the room. Two of them were originally standing on both sides of the window, and these two were just opening the curtains. In the middle of the room was a small round table that was simple to the standard of elves. From time to time, the cube emitting green light was placed in the center of the table. The elf gasping was a very old-looking woman, wearing a dark brown cloak, and her arms on the cube were white, but had obvious wrinkles.

The one who ordered the window to be opened just now was a young and beautiful woman - even by the standards of an elf. She held a copy and a pen in her hand. After the light in the room was restored, she immediately recorded what she had just said.

A few minutes later, almost after she finished recording and roughly proofreading, another young elf walked in from outside the room.

"Master Recorder." The girl bent down and saluted. "The record of the prophecy of the artifact just now has been completed."

"Very good." The newcomer nodded, took the record book and looked at it and gave it to the other party. "The queen's order is to send it to her first. The copying and archive can be postponed. You can send it there."

"Thank you, Lord Arasth." The girl pounced on, kissed the young elf on the face, and ran away with a smirk. The young recorder's face turned red, as if he wanted to get angry, but in the end he didn't say anything. It's actually not a good thing to have a lover who is too enthusiastic. It would be a bit embarrassing to him in public after all.

"Her Majesty the Queen seems to be very anxious," said a servant.

"Of course, this artifact... was last used hundreds of years ago." Arathut replied. "It seems that it cannot be used actively. Only when it emits a green light can it be spiritually linked with the priest and inform us of the prophecy. This time the artifact takes effect actively, and even the queen is very surprised."

While speaking, the old priest who had been gasping for a while was already struggling.

"You, send the priest back to rest." Seeing that the old priest seemed to be fine, Arrath breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll go see the queen."

The young elf moved quickly, but he was still in a hurry to walk. When he reached a corner, he almost bumped into another passerby. It was also a maid.

"His Excellency Arrathet." The maid quickly apologized. "Sorry, I'm too anxious. I'm in a hurry to see Her Majesty the Queen."

"Is there anything wrong? It's so urgent?"

"Prince Ashurufat just sent new messages, he might have arrived a little earlier than expected. In other words, he will arrive tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"Prince Ashurufat..." Araset remembered this incident. It was really rare for a prince to come to see the Emerald Queen so formally during this war, although he had never heard of the name of this prince before.
